RAINS IN VIRGINIA.


Washouts and Freshets-Stoppage Of
Trains-Heavy Rainfall.
RICHMOND, Va, July S.-The heavy rain
fall in the past forty eight hours has caused
damaging rise in all the streams In this
section of the State. The James river at
this point is ten feet above high water mark,
and all the wlharves in the lower part of the
city (ROcketts) are submerged, the water
being about seven feet deep In lower Main
street and still rising. The peOple living
in that vicinity are moving out and mer-
chants are removing their goods to places
OF safety. No apprehensiOns are
felt, however, of q serious freslet. At
Columbia, five miles above here, the water
is twenty-five and One-half feet above low
water mark and rising slowly. Several
trestles on the Richmond & Allegheny rail-
road have been washed away, causing q
temporary suspension OF travel. The rise
of the waters in the North Anna river has
caused a stOppage Ut trains on the Rich
mOnd, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad.
No northern trains have been re-
ceived here since last night NOR have any
gone north over that road. Washouts on
tie Richmond & Danville road have also
stopped traffic over that line. The rainfall
In Richmond In the last fOrty-eight hours
was 2.75 inches.

explosion took place yesterday morning at
1870 at the Atlantic giant powder works,
situated between McCainsville and brakes
vile, resulting in the loss OF ten lives and
the injuring Of ten or twelve others. The
explosion took place In the mixing house,
but the cause is unknown. The conclusion
was felt distinctly for twenty miles
around and glass in houses five
miles away was shattered. A double
force of men went tn work at seven
o'clock In the morning, SO that operations
could be suspended from Saturday until
Tuesday morning. The explosion blew the
building intO splinters and fragments OF the
bodies Of tho w0rkmen were picked up 500
feet from the scene. Some pieces were
taken frOm the branches Of tree many
yards away. The largest portion OF body
yet found will not weigh fifteen pounds.
An immense excavation was made
where the building stood, and de-.
vastation is apparent for 500 feet in
every direction. The following are the
names of those killed: Charles Jackson,
Joseph N. Kinner. George Zimmerman,
George Hanbill, Theodore Bryan, Charles
Milburn, George King, John Smith and two
brothers named Laubach. The amount
of the mixture which exploded

preston i'm the ground 6Ox70 feet In area
and six feet deep where the explosion &C.
Cured. The largest fragment OF body re-
covered by the searchers is the lower part
of mans trunk, including part of one
thigh, but most of the fragments are less
than foot in size. and some not over an
inch. A fragment Of a skull was found
will, sp!inters Of wood three-quarters of a

The Disappearance and Supposed Death of
Miss Frances whipp'e of Adrian, Micli-
gan-A Probable Victim of the Niagara
Whirlpool.
ADRIAN, Mich, June 29.-The relatives
and friends of Miss Frances Whipple, of
this city, were much disturbed by re.
cent dispatch from Buffalo. The story
was that strange woman had hired
hack at Suspension Bridge OH Thursday
to be driven to the whirlpool. She walked
down the bank to get a better view and
failed to return. a search for her was
fruitlcss, and it was supposed that she
had either fallen or jumped into the boil
ing waters.
The Whipples at once reached the con-
clusiCn that the unknown woman was
Miss Whipple, who had gone to Detroit
shopping ON Tuesday and had not re-
turned. She had telegraphcd from De-
troit i'm the evening that business would
rctair her for probably the rest of the
week, and that her people should not
worrJ. When Saturday came, however,
and no word vas received from her, her
people became much alarmed.
/, Her father, Jacob Whipple, went to
Detroit to try to trace the missing woman,
and learned at the Wabash depot that a
lady answering her description had start
ed for the East over that line ON Tues
day evening. The father returned home,
and dispatched the sheriff TO Niagara
with pictures and an accurate description
of his daughter.
A dispatch was received from the sheriff
yesterday stating that the strange woman
drowned at Niagara was undoubtedly
Miss Whipple. The mystery of her going
to Niagara and Of her death there remai.j
10 be explained.

The Desire Growing Among the People Of
the Dominion for Independence and
Closer Commercial Relations With the
United States.
MONTREAL, Can, June 29.-Consider-
able excitement prevails in political cir
cles about the Young Mems Liberal con-
vention which will meet in NOrdheimer
Hall on Wednesday next. Eight hum
dred delegates, representing political
clubs from every important city or town
i'm the Dominion, will attend. Young
Canada will assert itself by claiming the
right to negotiate its own treaties with
the United States as we'll as with
other foreign countries. The abolition
of life Scholarships will be advO-
Gated, also Ofthe vetoing power of the
Federal Government over provincial Leg
islative acts. A liberal measure of re-
ciprocity with the United States will be
demanded and the proposed federation OF
the Briiish.Empire, as far as including
the Dominion of Canada, will be strongly
condemned. But the main plank in the
Young Mems Liberal platform for the
coming federal elections will be the in
dependence of Canada. The French
Liberal party in the province of Quebec,
supported by large section OF
the Conservatives and of the En-
disappearing population, have already
pronounced for independence. Al strong
National party, iavoring independence, is
sending delegates to Montreal to Join
hands with the French Nationalists. In
Nova Scotia. the Prime Minister. Mr..
Fielding, who has just carried the prov
ince by majority Of five to one, is strong
for independence and in New Brunswick
and Prince Edwards Island the leading
men advocate independence and q full
measure of reciprocity with the great
American republic.
