There are indications of a renewal OF
the discussion Of the question, can an ice

DeIs it, It was proved in the scientific
Dapers several years ago that ice boats
had often sailed sixty miles an hour when
the wind was only blowing about half
that velocity. This was only possible
when beating against the wind. for when
sailing with the wind such a feat is an
impOssibility. May not ordinary san
boats also go faster than the wind under
favorable conditions?
1t is doubted whether Philadelphia is
entitled to the distinction Of being called
the CITY of Brotherly Love. The records
show that the police made nearly $4,000
arrests last year. or these nearly half
were for drunkenness, but there were Isl
attempts at murder, u cases OF man
slaughter and 20 actual murders were
committed. There were also $50 cases of
robbery and "a burglaries- The whole
State OF PENNSYLVANIA is getting repHta-

Pattison felt impelIed to condemn the in

cent message, and to urge the more prompt
and effectuaI punishment Of criminals.
A Washington correspondent, writing
about the debate in the Senate on the
sherman-DaYis matter, says: Through
it all two Senators on the Democratic
side, OF great prominence before the eOun-

were Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Garland. The
majority of the Democratic Senators,
however, appeared more amused than
otherwise over the proceeding" Why
were Senators Garland and BaYard so
serious when the other Senators on the
Democratic side were amused: Perhaps
they have accepted places in Mr.. Cleye-
Sands Cabinet ana were thinking of the

ERIE, Pa, July 23.-The city is in mourn
ing over the death of General Grant. The
Grand Army Posts were in the act of pa
rading to march to the annual encampment
when the tollng of the city bells announced
Grants death. The races, regattas and
other sports arranged to take place
were suspended, and the great picnic
was converted into memorial
service. with many thousands of
people in attendance. The band, which
had begun to play quickstep, was stop
ing with jaunty step and flying bunting,
marched through the city with furled and
draped colors, stepping slowly to the SOL
emn dead March in Saul" At the camp
ing ground memorial services were held
aud addresses made by prominent citizens.
WHEELING, W. VA, July 23.-This city
witnessed sudden transition from mirth to
mourning to-day. The gay decorations dis
played in honor Of the Snngerfest visitors
were quickly torn down when the news Of
General Grant's'death was received, and in
their place emblems of mourning were dis
played, while portraits of the German
composers gave way to those of the dead
hero. Triumphal arches were robed in
somber black. Governor Wilson arrived
in the city from Charleston to-day. To-
night he issued q proclamation recon-
mending the suspension of business on the
day of the funeral, and other becoming OBJ

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The President
to-day issued a proclamation directing the
cattlemen in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe

leave the Indian Territory:

':The cattle leases are void, and the Gov

cattlemen as solution of the difficulty?
Please remain at Fl. Reno until the ques-

the necessary time to care for their inter-

A CLOUD-BURST.
Appalling Disaster Near Colorado
Springs. Col.
Terrible Destruction of Property and
Heavy Loss of Life.

COLORADO SPRINGS COL, July G6.-One
OF the most disastrous cloud bursts ever
known in this section of the State struck
point few miles north of this city last
midnight But for the fact that tho storm
struck the crest of hill, where tho water
flowed in opposite directions, the loss of life
must have been appalling. Several rail-
road and wagon bridges in tho vicinity
were carried away, and large
amount of track swept out. The
house of b. A. ?. Eaton, Superintendent
OF Schools, was lifted from its foundation
ana carried down the stream with great
velocity. In the house at the time were
Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton, who had Just retired
Tor the night. AS soon as the former reals
ized the situation he jumped from the door
OF the floating dwelling, instructing his
wife to do tho same. After hard struggle
ne succeeded in reaching place of safety.
Instead of jumping the wife clung
to the house, which struck the
Denver and New Orleans Railroad bridge
q hundred yards below, and was dashed to
pieces. Diligent search failed to discover
any trace of Mrs. Eatons body. Several
families living further up the creek barely
escaped with their lives. Later reports
from the luckless valley north of the town
indicate that the devastation and
loss of life are greater than first
supposed. On the slopes of Shocks Run
were number Of summer campers. Many
OF their tents have been seen floating in
the stream, and as the flood came down in
the nj ght it is feared many have persisted.
One body, that of Swede woman, is re-
ported found several miles below the town.
News from Shocks Run is awaited with
intense anxiety,

A FRIEND OF THE JEWS.
Remarkable Tribute to Gene al Grant by

"Order No. H."

Remarkable Tribute to Gene al Grant by
Rabbi Browne and His Congrega ion
"Order No. H."
New York, July 25.-Rabbi Browne, as
a personal friend and admirer of General
Grant, this morning preached O sci mon
eulogistic of the deceased in the Temple
Gates of Hope, in this city.
He said; 81 wish to say from this sacred
spot that the Jews have lost a great friend in
the death of General Grant. know great
dea! OF irritation was at one time caused by
Order No, Ii, and In reference to that order
l will speak the whole truth, Last April,
you may remember, l wrote an article
on the subject quoting my cOnversa-
ton with President Grant in his cottage
at Long Branch, August 27, 1875 General
Grant later read my communication to the
press, and said to DR.. John P. Newman:
i consider 1t now my duty To mako known II
and locate the responsibility the proper
parties. That order came TO me from Wash
ingtOn direct. l protested against it, but
had to promulgate it against my will. /
shall make this. statement in my book like
wise Mr.. Newman communicated that
message to me in the name of General
Grant the following Monday in
his own house. Grant was a
providential man, and was carried
providentially around the world, so that ull
races and religions should see the noblcst
American. Moses liberated three millions of
people, his own brethren, from Egyptian
bondage. Grant liberated three millions of
people, race not his own, from American
bondage, over the dead bodies of his own
brethren, breaking the negroes chains.
These three millions of broken chains the
angels of heaven have been linking to-
gether, so that our American Moses might
climb on his self made path to the realms of
bliss and shake hands with his prototype
our own Moses of old. The day of Grants
death comes so near to the anniversary of
the fall of Jerusalem, that the fact is thus
fixed In the jewish calendar to be remom-
bercd by all Jews"
At the conclusion, Rabbi Browne prayed
for the departed soul, the whole congrega-
ton, by order Of President Frey, rising and
recting with the Rabbi the Kadish. "This
is prayer" said Rabbi brown, "never re-
cited for non-Jew BEFORE" "We say it
only for our dead priests" said one of the
officers, land no Rabbi ever bestowed such
an honor on Gentilo." Rabbi Browne
and the congregation shed tears during tho
eulogy and prayer for the dead.

: SHERLEYsBuRG, PA, July 24--Thirty
years ago John II. Hicks, then prosper

singular disappearance he was known to
have received a large sum of money, and

tied down to the belief that he had left the
country for some unknown and unex-
planned reason, as no discovery was ever
made that led to the belief that he had
committed suicide or been MUIR
d a Now, after lapse of thirty years,
comes q remarkable relation that explains
and clears away the mystery of Hicks
disappearance. On Tuesday, Mrs. Mary
Beatty, an old woman who resides at Vine-
yard Mills, but who lived at Sherleysburg
when Hicks disappeared, made statement
IN the presence of Samuel Bard, ESQ.,, and
MS family, wherein she alleges that John
hicks was murdered, and that his body
was conc 'aled at remote spot among the
rocks In apiece of woods in German VAL
ley, this county, and that his bones
remains there to this day. Mrs. Beatty
states that on the night of the murder two
strangers stopped at her fathers house in
search of lodging. They purported to be
drovers, aud displayed large rolls of
money. Both of the men spoke German
fuently, >aid remained at her fathers
house several days. They succeeded in
gaining the confidence Of John Hicks,
and when not securing the country,
were constantly in his society. On the
night preceding the disappearance of
Hicks one of the men took his depart
ure. On the following night the other
one also left. After lapse of several days
they returned, and again took lodging at
Mrs. Beatty's house. The flimsy partition
between her room and their apartment en-
abled her to hear almost every word that
was said, and before they left she finally
discovered that they had murdered Hicks,
and hidden his body if'the spot designated
by her in her statement. Being of an ex-
tremely nervous temperament, Mrs. Beatty
refrained from disclosing her awful secret.
lest she too might suffer the terrible
fate of Hicks. For nearly thirty years
she has retained the Secret of Hicks mys-
terious disappearance, and now that she is
rapidly nearing the grave says she wishes
to relieve her mind of its unbearabe
weight. She is now in her seventy.second
year, and is esteemed by all for her up
right, Christian life. Hopes are enter
tanned of bringing the perpetrators of the
yelled crime to justice. Their names and
present places and residences are known to
the-authorities.

Yesterday it added to its many previous

tracked him to his lair, where he burrowed
in the ground. Numerous efforts were made
to entice him by using tempting bait,b he
would not come. Finally a dynamite
