HOW WARD RUINED TIN

says that the entire fortune Of the Grant

degree Ward had fcueeed out the most
remote savings Of the ladies' of The Grant
family. Gen. Grant used to 90 up to
New York to attend board meeting,
from Long Branch, and when he did he
received the usual directors fee Of a
tes-dollsr gold piece. This he always
gave to Mrs. Grant, until she had sevesty
or eighty o. them. Ward heard Of this
and got hold Of theu.- He had 20 eoaxed
the remote savings Of every individual
member Of the family that when the fail.

Of the Grant family who had 800 at his
command. Now the sale of Gen. Grant 9

least $4O0, 900 70 his survivors. He re-

THE FLOOD IN CHINA,

have been received by private parties in
this city The food was the most seri.
Gus which has visited Canton in thirty
years. More than 10000 persons lost
their lives, and far the greater number
left are in starving condition. Entire
villages we're engulfed, ssd the rice and
silk crops in the vicinity were almost
ruiped. The price Of rice has been raised
l8 per cent in consequence Of the lost
crop. Rain fell in the latter part Of June
filing and overlooking many rivers. The
streets Of Canton were flooded for over
week. At SesiD City wa:er broke
through the city walls, and Il is reported
that several thousand people were drowned
in that place. The embankments Of the
river were broken in number of places,
and the water swept across the surround
ing country, carrying everything before
it. A foreigner, who was an eye witness
to the scene Of devastation, reports that
one night the boat he occupied anchored
scar bamboo grove, and by morning
the water bad risen to the tops Of the
bamboos. At other points it rose as high
. forty feet during the night time. The
iOhabitsnts fed from the villages and
camped on the hillside. At Kunin, =
market place situated near an cmbank-
ment Of one Of the streams counected
with the river, which brings water from
the north and west, majority Of the
Inhabitants were drowned by the water
breaking through the embaukment. Some
escaped to pier on rising ground in the
ueighborhood, but the water continued to
rise and gradually overtopped the eieva.

prevailed in Bay View this morning that the

huge machinery set in motion next Mon
day. The repairs at the mills are COM
pleted, the men are ready for work, and ID
only needs the signing Of the scale to re.

atives in Bay View have been on good terms
during tina entire lockout, and 40 material
trouble is expected at to.day's conference,
