RAIN FALLS MN TORRENTS And Raises Havoc With Property At
 Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-The heaviest rain storm with which the city has been visited since the memorable storm of July 27, 1868. occurred early this morning. The rain be- gan to fall about o'clock. By it had de veloped into veritable deluge and during the next hour and half four and a half inches of rain fell. The various small streams in and about the city, notably Jones' Falls Chartsworth Run and Harford Run, became rushing torrents and the dwelling houses and other buildings along their banks were inundated. Jones' Falls, the dirty, sluggish stream which runs through the heart of the city, was swollen to an immense height and overfowed it's banks, pouring great volumes of water into the lower part of Harrison, Holiday and after streets and flooding them to the extent of five feet and over. Boats were brought into use by the people and police in traversing those streets to investigate the damage. On liar rison street the losses by the flooding of cellars and destroying the goods stored there in will aggregate $12,000. A little stream in Snake Hollow on the western suburbs became a river two hundred yards wide and carried away thirty hogs from the stock yards. The damages caused by the flooding of cellars, washing out of walls, etc., throughout the city will aggregate $50, 900. There was no loss of life. A sec- ton of the Western Maryland railroad five miles out of the city was swept away, delay ing trains six hours. The steeple of the Methodist church at Westminster was struck by lightning and slightly damaged.

Three Hundred Bucks Gone to A
 

Three Hundred Bucks Conc to At-
 tack the Crows.
 FORT KEoGH, Mont, June 2S.-Word has just been received here that war party of Blood Indians numbering between two hun dred and three hundred bucks have left their reservation in northern Montana and are travelling to join the South Piegans for the purpose of making war on the Crows and Gros Ventrss. These Indians are proba- bly the same ones who have been raiding ranchmen on the upper Mississippi during the present spring and on one or two .occa- sions have come into contact with cowboys when the Indians were generally routed and some of them killed Last year the Bloods and Piegans made continuous raids on the Crows, capturing from the latter about two thousand horses during the season. The en, mity between the Piegans and Crows is o1 long standing, but in these mutual raids peaceable white ranchmen living along the route travelled generally suffer more than either of the tribes.

BURoHARD REFUSES TO RESIGN.

Seeing No Reason Why He Should
 Retire From Office.
 WASHINGTON, June 28.-Mr. Burchard, who was yesterday suspended from the office of the mint, addressed the following letter to Secretary Manning few days ago, declining to resign and giving his reasons for this ac- tion: BUREAU OF THE MINT, WASHINGTON, D. O.,
 June 27, 1885.
 Sir:-Respectfully acknowledging your re- quest for my resignation communicated to me on the 18th inst, have the honor to state that after careful consideration I am not satisfied that duty or propristy require me at this time to resign my office. Were any malfeasance or misconduct alleged, or believed to exist, I am sure you would have done me the justice to have had an impartial examination and given full opportunity of defense before demanding my resignation. Nor do l understand from you that the re- quest is made for such reason, but is be- cause you deem the relations of my office to be SO intimately connected with your administration of the Treasury de- partment that you should have the privilege of selecting the officer to be in charge of this bureau. Were this the case and the inten- tion of the law it might be proper and be- coming for me to place the tenure of my service at your immediate command, or per haps to have done so when you became the head of the department. But permit me to say that such has not been my understanding of the purpose of the coinage act in providing that the director of the mint Shall hold his office for the term of five years, unless sooner removed by the President, upon reasons to be communicated by him to the Senate" The length of the term-fve years-the conditions upon which removal is authorized, and the discussions and explanations preceding the passage of the act indicate the intent that the office of di- rector of the mint should not be changed on account of change of administration or in the head of the department, l. 6. for personal or political reasons. My predeces sor, appointed by President Grant, although of opposite politics, continued in office under five successive Secretaries of the Treasury until his death. As to myself, having served with acceptance for full term and upon reappointment and confirmation a part of another, I am conscious of nc reason why an exception to the policy indi cated by the law should now be made or why I ought not to continue the performance ot official duty until the expiration of my com mission. Very respectfully,
 HoRATIo c. BURcHARD. Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the Treasury

It is so in the natural world, why should it not be so in the spiritual worlda Science has made such progress that what was once considered single branch of knowl- edge is now divided into several, and yet the boundless ocean of undiscovered truth (seen by Newton) is still beyond.

A BLOODY RIOT AT TOLEDO.
Poles Disagree Concerning Their Par ish Priest And Settle The Matter With Deadly Weapons.


 fsh Priest And Settle The Matter
 With Deadly Weapons.
 TOLEDO, June 29-About 8 o'clock this afternoon bloody riot took place at a Polish settlement situated near Locust and Dexter streets between two opposing factions of the St. Hedwigs (Polish Catholic) church, wherein about hundred men, women and children participated. About a week ago an attempt was made to blow up the house of Rev. Lewandowski, pastor of the church, and a member of the congregation by the name of Dalkowski was arrested for so doing and placed under bonds. A saloon keeper named Peter Scellas- skiewiz went his bail and he was subsequently, released. Bad blood seems to have been engendeFed by this act as both are enemies of the priest. This afternoon a crowd gathered in Scel1asskiewiz's saloon and denounced the saloon keper for going bail for Dalkowski A little scrimmage followed and while the men were ripe for riot they at- tackled Dalkowski's house which was near the saloon In 8 few moments the crowd, thor house and destroyed the furniture and badly bruised the inmates. Dalkowski was horribly beaten with clubs and died shortly after. The crowd, which had been increasing in numbers, then attacked Scel- lasskiewiz's saloon, completely wrecking it. A looken-on named Martin Dobrowo- lozski was shot through the fore head and instantly killed; A number of the deceased mems friends were also badly used, two men sustaining serious injuries Mrs. Dalkowski and another woman were injured, but not dangerously. At the police station tonight there are no less than ten cots in use for the wounded and homeless ones. Thirteen Polanders who took part in the bloody affray have been arrested. The names of the murder ers cannot be ascertained tonight. The congregation has for a long time been at variance on the question as to wheth- CT the priest, Father Lewandowski, should be removed or not On account of this state of affairs there has been bad blood existing between the priests friends and his opposers. l At a late hour tonight the coroner is pre- pairing to hold an inquest on the bodies of l the murdered men.
