Immense Damage to Property in til
South From Floods.

immense manage to- property In the
South From Floods.
Specials of the 3Oth from points in
Northern Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee report heavy losses from fresh
cts. The rainfall in Atlanta was al
ready over ten inches. The rivers are
flooded and great loss of property is
reported. Every railroad leading out
of Atlanta has suspended traffic.
Many bridges are down and it is
thought others will fall. The Rome &
Carrollton narrow gauge railroad is
almost washed away. The Western &
Atlantic Railroad has loaded it's
bridges with freight cars. The long
bridge across the Chattahoochie at
West Point is down. Telegrapbic
communication is cut off throughout
Northwest Georgia. 1t is estimated
that the damage will amount to 3d.
100000, and it may be more. The
heavy rains undermined and caused
the collapse of a cotton factory at
Prattsville, Ala. The loss was $685.

THE German government reports
that during 1885 the number of Ger
mans emigrating to this country was
$4,000, and the number going to Afri-
ca was 294. IF Prince Bismarck can
gain any consolation from these fig
ures he is welcome to it. Since 1920
the United States have taken consid.
erably more than three millions OF
German emigrants under the national
wing, and there is room enough for as
many more. Unless all signs fail, the
year 1886 will see more than 100000
Germans leave the fatherland for this
country. IL Prince Bismarck sends
500 of his countrymen to the Gamer
oons or Zanzibar he will do more than
circumstances warrant.

1t is Freely Shed by the Belgian Sol
diers.


Several bloody collisions between
strikers and troops occurred in the dis
turbed districts of Belgium on the
Doth. At the Resaix collieries, near
Charleroi, the strikers put stop to
work. They wero thrice ordered to
disperse, but refused to do SO and be-
gan to throw stones at the troops.
The latter fired upon the rioters, kill
ing and wounding seventeen. An at
tack was also made upon the Marie
mont colliery, near Mons, by thestrik-
ers. They were fred upon by the
troops and fourteen were killed or
wounded. Rioters attacked and
burned q pottery at Baudour, near
Mons. They succeeded in resisting the
gendarmes, who, however, shot and
killed three of the rioters. The citi-
zens Of F'leurus, seven miles northeast
of Charleroi, have armed themselves
with pitchforks, clubs and guns, and
have thus far succeeded in defending
the city from pillage. They drove one
army of rioters away by main force,
by dispensing it utterly. Vigilance
committees are being formed by the
citizens in other places threatened by
the strikers.

matte representatives at Athens in

THE readiness of the Mexican &c

THE readiness of the Mexican gov
erement to surrender criminals at the
request of Canada is in striking con-
trast with the delay sometimes ex-
hibited by Mexico in handing over
refugees from the United States, which
suggests question as to the reason.
Near neighbors are not always the bast
friends, but our relations with Mexico
being friendly, the reason for delay in
particular cases may often befound in
the fact that criminals who flee from

A BIG Steal.

The United States grand Jury has found
indictments against eight prominent citi-
zens OF California for subornation of per-
jury in connection with public land entries.
The men are members of the California
Redwood Company, and the plan of opera
tions was to induce 900 American citizens
to take up $50 acres each, $50 being paid
by the company to each man for his part
Of the business. The entries were in all
cases conveyed to one of the parties now
under Indictment. The company then sent
an agent to Scotland to form syndicate
for the purchase Of the land for $40 per
acre. The property consists of the most
valuable redwood timber land in the state.

Creditors of Grant & Ward who thought
they saw good prospects of dividend when
Lawyer Hornblower, in behalf of Receiver
Davies, attached VIM. S. Warmers Fifth
Avenue house and contents, are much dis
couraged by the suit of Mrs. Warner against
the sheriff for trespass, on the ground that
he has no right to levy either on toe house
or furniture. The importanceo of the case is
in the fact that Improperly which is valued
in all at 100000, is the only large slice OF
the ST, 100000 that Referee Cole decided
Warner should give up, or that Receiver
Davies has been able to get hold Of.

WHEN Secretary Seward negotiated
the purchase of Alaska the transaction
was ridiculed as a reckless outlay of
money for a. worse than worthless

Company has paid into the United
States treasury over $4, 100000
