THE VICTIMS.
List OF the Dead and Missing by the
PhiladelPhia Cyclone.


PHILADELPHIA, Aug. An Manoyounk
some of the streets were washed away by
the flood to depth of seven feet from
curb to curb, and the cellars of 800
houses were filed with water. The torrent
carried fences, outhouses, etc., to Ridge
avenue in such an inexplicable mass as to
completely block travel. As far as ascer-
tanned the following is a correct list of the
killed and missing. The dead are:
Charles Daisy, aged so, Gloucester City;
Emery Townsend, pilot, aged rs. Salem,
n. j.; Lizzie McVey, 8 years; Henry c.
Stephens, % years, Camden; Thomas Will
son, Philadelphia. The missing embrace
the people on the Reybold, and

OF them could be found. They are: Agnes

The Philadelphia News is responsible for
the story that Col. FRANK BURR, the Phila-
delphia journalist, who is getting up a book
ON Gen. GRANT, recently wrote TO DR.. NEW
MAN, asking him to furnish an account of the
GRANT death-bed scene. This request was
made before Gen. GRANT died. MIR. BURR
enclosed a check for $3.50 as a liberal pay
ment for the work. DIR. NEWMAN retained
the check and replied TO the letter, saying
that he would be glad 10 DO the work. and
that it would be time enough 10 talk about
the pay when the work was done. The bland
assumption that the check was a retainer
staggered the projectors of the GRANT book
Since they learned that the doctor was not
present at the death scene they are not par
ticularly anxious TO have the imaginative
parson recount the historical scene. The
doctor, however, shows no sign Of returning
the check.

AN INAPPRoPRIATE SUGGESTION

AN INAPPROPRIATE SUGGESTION
In speaking Of the income of the GRANT
family the other day, the Rev. DR.. NEW
MAN reminded his interviewers that ''there
are eight families to be supported out of
this income" and suggested that it ought to
be enlarged. 1t will occur to some people
that Dr. NEWMAN is little impertinent in
his suggestions. The reverend doctor seems
to be Tevelng in his present conspicuous
position, and, like other men who get into
higher atmosphere than Is usual for them,
he is losing his head. The nation feels
bound to provide a comfortable mainte-
nance for Mrs. GRANT, and will do it. But
there is no reason why the people should be
under the necessity of supporting a lot of
INDECENT boys, who are healthy and strong.
and just as able to earn a living as
other American boys, who are compelled
TO do so. DIR. NEWMAN loses his bear
ing entirely when he supposes the
American people are going to provide
pensions for FRED and BUCK and the rest
of the family, including the INDECENT En-
glish son-in-law. They can do just as their
illustrious father had to do-go out into the
world and carve out their own destiny.
FRED and the other boys are little grasp
ing, and need to be curbed. Like great
many other great men, Gen. GRANT was IN
fortunate in his offspring. None of them
have the grit of the old man. If they had
they would scon the idea of becoming pub
lie pensioners because of their fathers ser
vices. A true manhood would suggest to
them to seek by their own efforts TO add to
the luster of the family name, and to do
honor to the memory of a distinguished
father

WHEN the Rev. Mr.. FISHER was talking to
the Minneapolis preachers last spring about
the Old Testament in q sort of unorthodoN
manner, the GLOBE kindly cautioned him
about treading on dangerous theological
ground. The result is just about as the
GLOBE expected. The presiding elder and
church authorities have found it essential to
good church government 10 draw the rever-
end gentleman over the Goals. 1t is crafty
ing to the GLOBE, however, that the church
council, after thorough examination OF the
matter, concluded that the st. Paul clergy
man had not gone so far as TO entirely over
leap the bars of orthodox theology, notwith-
standing it agreed with the GLOBE that he
was approaching dangerously near the abyss,
and with kindly hand pulled him back into
the fold, with the Christian admonition not to
do so again.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
Lord Salisbury Talks Rather Plain
ID on the Afghan Question.

LONDON, Aug. THE Marquis of Sails
bury. replying to the Duke of Marlborough
in the house of lords this afternoon,
said the present government had done
nothing TO disturb the agreement made
with Russia by Earl Granville, the late for
eign minister, in respect TO ZulhKar pass.
the Marquis OF Salisbury cOntended that
the Zulhkar pass had been promised 20 At
ghaniStan. Earl Dufferin, viceroy of India,
had promised the ameer that he should have
the pass, and the present government held
itself bound by that promise. Russia does
not appear to share our views concerning
this NATTER continued the premier. In
the meantime Maruehak remains in posses
sion of the Afghans and Penj-
deb continues in possession OF Rus
STA, and we are pursuing as
rapidly and vigorously as possible a policy
10 strengthen the Indian frontier. No al
teratiOn in the diplomatic situation will
cause the government in the slightest degree
to relax or alter this policy,
which will not depend upon transitory
relations with this or that other
power, but which is.absolutely necessary for
the security of India. The government
has no present intention 10 occupy strategic
poSitionSl in the ameer's dominions. What
may happen. however, we are
unable to say We are also
unable at present to place before you the
papers relating TO the question, because
their publication just now might compro-
mise the pending negotiations. l may add
that the delay in the adjustment Of the
Penjdeh affairs is due to Russia's
desire to obtain the best possible
information respecting the matters in dis
pute." Concerning the proposed British
encampment IN the Pishin valley the pre-
mier said that territory belonged to Eng

assessment, reduced bank stock in its ap-
praised value 81, 400, 600 below what it was
last year. Another consideration must be
borne in mind. The actual value of prop
erty is lower this year than last, and con-
sequently has been assessed at a lower
valuation. AS compared with last years
assessment. the presentshows an actual in
crease in the value of personal property in
the city from one to one and one-half
millions. The returns show an increase in
the valuation Of real estate to be So, 302, $50,
and, as everybody knows that the valuation
placed on real estate for taxable purposes
is usually about one-third OF the real value,
the assessment represents an actual increase
of from So, 900, 600 to 81, 600, 900.

WAsHINGTON,s FUNERAL.

The Ulster Gazette, published at Kings
ton, Ulster county, n. Y, Jan. 4. 1900.
contains a description of the funeral
services of Gen. WASHINGTON at Mt.
Vernon, which receive additional interest
at this time by being brought in comparison
with the funeral services of Gen. GRANT
now in progress. A large number of per-
sons assembled on that December day from
many miles arount Mt. Vernon to pay the
last tribute of respect to the Father of his
Country. At that day person who went
twenty miles in midwinter TO attend a
funeral had an arduous journey to perform.
Now there will be thousands and tens of
thousands going from the Pacific slope and
the shores of the Gulf of Mexico to New
York to witness and participate in the i'm
posing pageantry of Gen. GRANTS funeral.
The correspondent of the Ulster Gazette,
describing the scene at Mt. Vernon,
says: ''In the long and lofty por-
tico, where oft the hero walked
in glory, now lay the shrouded corpse.
The countenance, still composed and
serene, seemed to express the dignity of
the spirit which lately dwelt in that lifeless
form. There those who paid the last sad
honors to the benefactor of his country
took an impressive-a farewell view" On
the ornament at the head of the coffin was
inscribed ''Surge ad Judicium;" about the
middle of the coffin ''Gloria Deo," and on
the silver plate the name, age and date OF
death. Between and 4 o'clock in the
afternoon minute guns commenced firing
from a vessel IN the river when the cornSe
was removed and carried toward the grave

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.

The silence which brooded over Mt. Nc
Gregor as the funeral procession moved out
was the most eloquent tribute that could
have been paid to the honored dead. With
the conclusion of the impressive service held
at the cottage the remains of the dead sol
der passed into the custody of the nation,
whose honor he had upheld and whose
unity and integrity he had preserved. To
day he lies in state in the capitol of the
empire state of the UniCn, and from thence
he will be borne to his final resting place
in Riverside park on the banks of the Hud-
son. From now on until the conclusion of
the services on Saturday, when the body
will be committed to the grave, there will
be the most imposing funeral display that
this country has ever witnessed. There has
been no funeral in the worlds history which
will surpass III pageantry and in the demon
stratiOn of genuine sorrow that which will
be seen next Saturday, when Americas I'M
crowned king will be buried. The grandeur
of the scene in New York will be nothing
III comparison with the universal demon
stTation of grief throughout the land. In
every hamlet village, town and city mourn
ers will go about the streets. funeral ser
vices viii be held in the churches, bells
viii be tolled, the emblems of mourning
viii drape the dOor-posts of the mansions of
the rich and the cottages of the DOOR. If
will be the grandest army of the republic
the world has ever known which will assem-
bic that day to pay memorial tribute to the
old commander. We publish elsewhere an
account of WAsHTNGToN's funeral. The
funerals of LINCOLN and of GARFIELD are
fresh in the memory of this generation.
They were grand and imposing and spon-
taneous tributes from great nation to its
lllustrious dead. But next Saturdays
demonstration will eclipse them all.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, has an ENooH
ARDEN case exceeding in romance the cele-
brated poem of TESNYsoS. JOHN Atkinson
went into the war on the Union side in 1851,
leaving young bride at home. Just before
JOHN was mustered out OF service he re-
ceived intelligence of the death of his Wife
and Joining the regular army was sent 10 the
Pacific coast, where he has been stationed
ever since. The young wife was not dead. but
waited long and patiently for the soldier hus-
band who never returned TO her. After more
than ten years waiting she accepted an offer
of marriage from respectable harnessmaker
in the town, with whom she lived happily for
five years, and he died. In two years more she
married second time, but was unfortunate
in this matrimonial venture, as the husband
was terribly mangled in the explosion of an
oil refinery and soon after died in an insane
asylum. She married the third time. but
domestic trouble arose about the children of
the two families, and there was about to be q
separation between husband and wife when
JOHN Atkinson returned 10 find and claim
his wife. She went with him back TO Call

Negotiations have been pending for some
days looking to a change in the position of
the Indebtedness of the Oregon & Trans

is to deposit the stocks of the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation company and the
Northern Pacific, both common and pre-
ferred, owned by the Oregon TranscOnti-
mental, with trust company, upon which
trust bonds will be issued. The idea adj
vanced is that the growth of the value Of
the company's deposited securities will ulti-
mately pay off the cOmpany's entire debt.
