James River RisinG-An Alieghanv Train
Wrecked Two Men Missing.
The following was received last night
from the Weather Bureau, and the in
formation is valuable:
WASHINGTON, October 90, 1885.
Chamber Of Commerce, Richmond:
The recent heavy rains will probably
cause dangerous floods in the James
river within the next forty-eight hours.
HAZEN.
THE FLOOD AT LYNCHBURG.
At 9 o'clock last night the river at
Lynchburg had risen seven feet, and
was still rising at the rate Of foot an
hour.
TRAINS IN TROUBLE.
Adyices received in this city at /
o'clock this morning state that the
freshet on the western end Of the Rich
mond and Allegheny road is the heavi-
est that has been known for five years.
South-river trestle, on the Lexington
branch, about five miles from Lexing-
ton, has been washed away, and
above this point an Allegheny and a
Shenandoah Valley train are in trouble.
Though no details could be obtained,
it is feared that both have met with Sc
rious accidents. The Allegheny train,
however, is a mixed train, and it is not
thought probable that in case there has
been a wreck any passengers were hurt.
ENGINEER AND FIREMAN MISSING
PASSENGERS SAFE.
At o'clock this morning telegram
was received at the office Of the Rich
mond and Allegheny railroad from Col
onel II. C. Parsons, who was on the
Allegheny train. lie said that Engineer
Williams and the fireman of the train
were missing, having gone down with
the engine and tender which went
through South-Riyer trestle. All the
passengers, eight in number, were
saved. Colonel Parsons telegraphed to
Lexington for hacks, which last night
conveyed the passengers to Lexington.
The destruction of property along
the lines of the Allegheny and She
nandoah-Valley railroads is very great.

Exposition at New Orleans opens Novem.
Der 10, and the management kindly extend
to us an invitation to be present on that day,
as we'll as to accept the Inequalities of the
Exposition during its entire term.
The opening day is intended to be espe-
cially emphasized as tribute of peace
and good will" between the various nations
of the three Americas. The growing i'm,
portance of the Latin American countries
to the industry of the world makes the es-
adjustment of a hemispherical CONNER
cial policy between the producers and con-
sumers of the American continent highly
necessary, and it is this desirable end that
the exposition claims to have especially in
view.
The Exposition, under its new auspices
its is claimed will be far in advance of that
of last winter, all the better parts of the for
mer show remaining over while extensive
additions have been made in all the depart
ments and hosts of last years mistakes have
been corrected.

it without troube o; it won't wear the poor

pensive hulling machinery when the grain
is wantel to lie ground for oatmeal, etc
Moreover AM biggest of ali, If you buy
Bohemian seed oats from the fellow, at
$40 bushel, he will contract to take all the
crop you raise from it at s., 80 bushel
Farmers, If this elCqulnJ agent comes
your way show him the door, and if he hes
itates to go set the dog on him. This hullcss

Particular care should be taken just now
to afford proper shelter from the cold rains
which will prevail more or less during the
late months OF the fall. 1t is not lest to con-
fine the animals at this season; on the con-
trary, as long as the weather continues
moderately mild, they ought to run in a
pasture on dry soil; later, they SHOULD be
continel in dry yards, with sheds around
the north, east, and west sides, in which
they can find protection from rain, sleet
and winl. Too many animals should not
lie allowed together in cool weather, as
they will often, i'll budding together for
warmth, smother some of tho more weakly
by pillng one on another.
OF course those destined to make fat pork
should ba pushed a little more rapidly than
those which are to be kept for breeding,
and they can b, allowed a greater proper
ton OF corn or Indian meal in their ratlons.
W here hams AMI bacon are the main object,
less corn is desirable, and larger proper
ton of grass and clover, bran or mid
dling' and whey. If meal is given it
should be cats or barley. Cornstalks
grown for fodder, and cut when the
stalks are sweet and tender will be
appreciated. Roots make valuable and
healthful winter feed, but they must be fed
to the swine under cover, and about noon,
so that freezing will be avoided. Frozen
food Of any kind should never be fed to
STOCK. Pumpkins will be found very health
full as well as palatable. The pens must be
put in order and made weather tight Re-
member that if hogs are given an oppor-
tunity they will keepclean, and such oppor
tunity should not lie denied them. If pos
sible the pens should be so constructed that
light AMI ventilation may b, afforded from
the south for warmth

The State Board of EQUALIZATION havinl

The State Board of Equalization having
finished its work, the Governor and Auditor
have determined that the rate of state taxa
ton for 1885 shall be ~ cents per 800,
which is an increase of cts. over the tax
of 1884. Then, however, there were but
81, 800 900 to be raised, while this year the
legislative appropriations render the sum
of 100000 necessary. The additional
$4,000 over the expenses of 1884 are
probably the half million voted by the
people to complete the state house.
