New York, July 15th.-During the last
three months only five and three-quarter
inches of rain fell in the Croton river basin,
whereby New York's supply is greatly de-
creased, making it necessary to draw upon
the reserves, which are also greatly de-
pleted. Yesterday, however, magnificent
rain occurred throughout this section lasting
from 3 o'clock in the morning till in the
afternoon. One inch and six-hundredths
of water fell cleaning the streets, filling the
reservoirs, extinguishing the forest and
brush fires and agreeably lowering the
temperature.

Resources of Guatemala.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April People who take an
interest in the absorbing movement os Barrios
in Central America will doubtless have some
curiosity in the resources of Guatemala, one Of
the little republics in the dispute out of which
war is growing. From statement received at
the Department of State from our consul-gen-
eral at Guatemala city it is learned that in 1860
the national revenue was but 1856, $40; whilo
in 1883 it was $4,O54, S6l, showing wonderful
development, brought about by farming, fruit
and sugar raising and the production of coffee
In 1860 Guatemala's expenses for public In
struction was but $11 900, and in 1862 only
81, 232 while in 1883 it ran up to $685., 235. Twen-
ty years ago she imported $1,374s97 and ex-
ported So, 391, Ala. In 1883 she imported So 03O-
1893 and exported So. 7l8. BAL, evincing keen
business management, the proportions being
very largely in her favor.
The census of 1880 showed a population in
Guatemala of 1,224 Coz of whom 644, TIA were
Indians, and 379, 1873 white and mixed. The in.
crease of coffee expectations has been wonderful
in that country. the expectations of 1884 aggre.
eating nearly Sc, 000 000 1t is the prosperity Of
the people of Guatemala that prompts Barrios to
reach out his graspng arm for the other little
republics about him. None of them are much
larger than an ordinary prairie county, and all
of them would not make half a state in extent
of territory for old New England or a congress
sional district in Kanas or Minnesota.

A CAROLINA paper tells with great glee of a
case coming under its notice recently where
man, sick with pneumonia, called physician
and was given two prescriptions. One was
~ to be taken internally, and the other a
mixture of hartshorn, turpentine and chloroform,
for outward application. The next day when the
Doctor called, the patient much better, al
though he had swallowed the liniment and
applied the other medicine externally. The cir
cumstance, as others of the same nature invari
ably are, was regarded as an immense joke upon
the patient but rightly considered the laugh
should be against the doctor. AS the sick man
may be said to have recovered in spite of the
medicine, it may reasonably be supposed that
without them he would have reached good
health even more speedily. Little incidents of
this sort show how needless medical treatment
frequently is, and also dscloses the tricks of the
trade one of which is to give prescription

The man has every assurance, he thinks
that he will escape punishment, through the
influence of prominent Democrats. The wires

travesty of justice, if this man be not properly
punished.

KANSAS TACTICS.
The Plan of Battle in the Free-SOil Fight To
Be Adopted in Utah.

BOSTON, April 3.-Amos A. Lawrence, one OF
veteran millionaire the Rev Dr. Edward Ever
EFT Hale, and the Hon. Eli Thayer of Worcester
are going to try again in Utah the tactics they
followed so successfully in the famous Free-soil
fight in Kansas, in 1854 and 1855. They were
leaders there in Massachusetts company,
which sent emigrants to that border State when
the contest was hottest whether it should be a
slave or free State, and now, strangely enough
they are united again in movement to over
power the Utah polygamists by similar effort to
outnumber them, and so place tho control Of
the Territory soon in gentle hands, The House
judiciary committee has reported the following
bill:
Section l. Amos A. Lawrence and Edward E. Hale
of Boston, and Eli Thayer, of Worcester all in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts,, their associates.
OF the name of the Utah Emigrant Aid and Improve.
ment Company for the purposes of directing emigra
ton to Utah and of aiding in providing accommoda
tons for the emgrants after arriving in that Territory
and OF assisting in establishing among them manu-
featuring and other industries and for these purposes
jet to ali the duties restrictions and liabilities s set
forth in chapter los of the Public Statutes.
Sec. 2. The capital stock Of such corporation shall
not exceed 81 900 0O0 which may be invested in real
and personal estate, providing that said corporation
shall not hold real estate in this Commonwealth to an
amount exceeding $2O, 900.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect from it's passage
The member Of the committee who has charge
Of the bills relates that gathering at Mr. Law
rence's house one evening took up the subject
decided that it was practicable and determined
to make a thorough attempt to put it through to
success. Others are interested in it besides the
corporators and will support it with money.
Mr.. Lawrence 4, said to realize that it is an en-
terprise which will involve large outlay, and
to be perfectly ready to make it. Dr. Hale Is
also enthusiastic in the movement, and so is Mr.
Thayer. Their plan is to invest the means nec-
essary to assist emigrants to go TO Utah and
settle. They propose to take up government
lands, and the part of the Territory selected as
the most feasible is in the northwestern part
1t is expected that they will begin active orora-
tons as soon as their bill is enacted, and they
hope to have their emigrants in motion early in
the season

THURSDAYS STORM.
Damage in Observation-Disclosures Washed Away
and Railway Travel Impeded.

ST. Louis, April 3.-The storm which swept
over part Of western Missouri on Wednesday
night a brief account Of which has already been
reported, seems to have been much more dis
astrous than at first stated. In addition to the
cyclone at Waverly, very heavy rains fell oyer
large area of country. and all the streams were
greatly swollen, and bridges were carried away
and other damage DONE The Missouri Pacific
railroad was a heavy sufferer. Reports
from Sedalia and other points say that
four bridges, varying in length from
forty-six to one hundred and ten feet, were
swept away On the main line west, and one on
the Labette and Sedalia branch. Superintendent
Hagen has gone to the scene, and is personally
supervising reconstruction 1t is thought re-
pairs will be completed by Saturday. In the
meantime trains are running by the way Of the
Lexington branch. Several washouts are also
reported, and number of county bridges have
been washed away. Two small bridges on the
Columbus branch of the Iron Mountain railroad
were fired by incendiaries Wednesday night and
destroyed, delaying trains temporarily.

The St Louis Post-Dispatch says, with
what it regards as crushing sarcasm, that
''the editors who are grieving and fretting
over the lowering of the Interior Departments
flag to half mast when ex-Secretary Thomp-
son died would have thought it the proper
thing to do if Mr.. Thompson had only voted
for Blaine last fall" 1t would, in fact, have
put very different face on the matter. If
Jacob Thompson had voted the Republican
ticket he would have shown that he had seen
the error of his ways, and wished to retrieve
himself. He did not do this, however, and
to the end of his days gave no indication of
repentance for his treason to the United
States government or for his sins against
humanity. And, by the way, if he had voted
for Blaine would Mr.. Lamar have been in
such haste to lower the fagf

A HIGH-LIcENsE law has passed both houses
of the Wisconsin Legislature. The objection
to it is that the amount fixed is not high
enough, being practically only 5000, though
the highest limit is $500. At the rate Of a
5000 tax upon each saloon, however, the pres
ent license being only $75, the Milwaukee SEN
tinel estimates that over 100000 will be
added to the revenues of that city, and the
taxpayers be proportionately relieved. The
high-license system gains in favor wherever
it is tried, or seriously considered.

A Man Who Knows Barrios Predicts His
Complete Success.
NEW YORK April 3.-Gen. 7. B. Bunting, of
this city, who some years ago, held prominent
position in the army of Guatemala. has just re-
ceived the following letter from an American
gentleman residing in Guatemala, which throws
much light on the present Central American
complications:
"Dear Generally this mail send you
paper containing the proclamation and decree of
Gen. j. r. Barrios, whereby he makes one re-
public of the FIVE and floats to the breeze
the flag of the Republic of Central
America, .pledging his talents, his
fortune and his life to defend it; declaring all
traitors who oppose the common cause, and
threatening destruction to those governments
who fail to join in the regenerating movements.

Salvador vacillates; Nicaragua defends herself
to the last drop of blood, and Costa RIGA is not

THERE is statement that General Grant
desires to be buried in the city of Washington
when he dies, and that arrangements looking
to such sepulture for the Nations great
hero are already under way. It would be
eminently fitting that the dust Of
Ulysses S. Grant should repose in
the capital of the Nation he did so much to
save. The reports from his sck-bed yester-

holding on to life with remarkable tenacity;
but the end is, after all, only a matter of a
few brief hours or days.

The season of the year has come when peri
patetic swindlers most active, and it is every
mans duty to be on his guard against the tricks
of these fellows. 1t is not enough to remember
old swindes, though many of them doubtless
will be successfully employed this year. New
tricks are constantly being devised, whereby the
unwary are feeced. The safest way to act is to
trade only with such as are known to be reliable
and to sign no papers whatever, or at least with
out the minutest inspection both before and
after signing Better deal with men and firms
known to be trustworthy. This advice applies
with special force to farmers, who have not the
same facilities for detecting swindles that those
living in towns have

feuds In the end, however, they come into
conflict with the State, as is now the case in
Gowan county, where as many as a hundred
desperate men are in arms and seeking to kill
each other. The fight at Moorehead, on
Wednesday night, was lively one, regular
fusillade being kept up for hours, though it
does not appear that anyone was killed. The
militia will now be turned loose on the rioters,
and it is expected that they will be dispersed.
