On Tuesday the ice in the river between
Cato Falls and Clarks Mills became
massed by the swift current. The pres
sure OF water soon caused the mass to
move forward with irresistible force. It
swept everything in its track, swapping
trees as if they were pipe-stems. Those
who saw this ice avalanche pronounce it
one OF the grandest sights they ever be-
held. The ice had not been at all effect
ed by the warm weather and was as solid
as il in mid-winter.

That reliable and garrulous person
known as the oldest inhabitant" says
that not for 30 years before has there
been such a current IN the river as on
Tuesday. The water has been rushing
by at the rate Of six miles per hour, hay
ing ice and other accumulations on its
surface. An ice jam formed near the
bend at Schumacher's ice house and the
current set in across the fiat flooding the
ship yard and the glue factory. When
the jam broke on Tuesday noon the rush
was watched with apprehension by the
owners of vessels which are in the river.
No damage was done though the vessels
were forced along quite distance with
the drift. An ice dam formed on the
island below Manitowoc Rapids which
set the water back and flooded the village.
But this is by no means a ne,- experience
for that village and is a blessing in san
itary sense.
The bath house which was moored on
the fats near the ship yards, broke loose
on Tuesday. After humping against
vessels and suffering some damage by the
collisions, it came sweeping down the
unobstructed river. Both bridges were
swung to give it undisputed egress to
the lake, but it struck Eighth street
abutment with crash and the pressure
OF the water caused it to ground. In a
few minutes it recovered its buoyancy,
righted and proceeded lakeward at a
rapid rate.

The city council did not exercise good
Judgment IN selecting a good sealer of
weights and measures from the first class
material on hand. What does Fred
Hinrichs know about sealing or weighing
or measuring? His experience as a phar-
maclst makes him partial to light weights
and small measures, and under his adj
ministration schnits of beer will replace
the schooner and a pound of sugar will
be reduced to the apothecary's II OF.
How will people like to buy pound Of
Long jack smoking tobacco and find the
weight short, or stick of candy bearing
the national colors but falling short of
the regulation length? Peanuts viii be
shriveled, and hunk OF chewing gum
viii no longer distend the rosy cheeks of
the school girl. Jasper Hanson will be
compelled to buy dude shoes and cult
vate corns, and II Maths Janecek was in
the city he would be forced to squeeze his
brero. The tendency to Turkish dimen-
sions in the pantaloons of the day will be
checked and the skin-tight neither gar
ment will again come into vogue The
city council will act wisely to reconsider
the vote whereby Hinrich was chosen,
and in the new election disfranchise Bill
Dicke and Fred Haukohl, two men who
stand in the way of the election of the
only man in the city competent to dis
charge the duties of sealer of weights and
measures, and whose name it is unneces-
sary to mention.

Town Destroyed by Fire.

reported horrible deaths of several persons.
The victims are said to be in the neighbor
hood of30, 20 of whom are men, four women,
and the other children. A sick lady in q
house on Courtney street was burned to q
crisp before she could be rescued. The scene
in and around the unfortunate town beggars

heartbroken groups around the spots where
their happy homes stood but a few hours be.

The number of the wounded has not been

ALEX ANDRIA..
TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10.

THE New YORK Sun says: THE liberal
policy pursued toward colored citizens by
the national administration since 1854 mas
supplemented the acts of the democratic
Governors of Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey, and Ohio. 1t is now reaaona-
Bile for the democratic party to expect faiF
share of the cclored vote" The last sem
tence of this remark shows that the Sun is
as wrong on the race question as it is on
that OF the tariff. Every body familiar with
colored people knows that it is not reasona'
Bile for the democratic party to expect iai'
share of the coored vote, and no sucn man
does expect any such thing. An insignih
cant fewcolored men, "apostates Tor the price
Of their apostacy," may vote the democratic
ticket, but the combined influence of ignor
snce, prejudice and fear OF their own race
will, in the next, as in past elections, make
the colored vote practically solid for the re-
publican nominee.

Malone Active.

No man Of all the eight hundred and odd dele.
gates has been more active than General Malone.
Since he arrived Saturday he has been in personal
conference with many OF the prominent members
of the convention and of the national committee
before whom he laid the merits Of his case. He
does not conceal that the refusal of the national
committee to-day to reconsider its action on the
Virginia case is great disappointment but says
he and his friends will make strong fight before
the convention for the admission of his entire
delegation. 1t is admitted that the contestants
made sentiment which, acted against Mr.. Ma
hone in scattering broadcast as they have the anti
Blaine circular issued by him last winter. But he
is indefatgable in his purpose and fertile in re-
sources, and he has with him tho sympathy of the
large and influential delegation of Senators here,
with most of whom he served. 1t is not improb
able that the settlement OF the Virgins contest
will give rise to one of the most interesting and
exciting episodes of the convention. The Groner
delegation were, of course, delighted at the turn
which affairs have taken, although not entirely
satisfied, as General Malone will have the advsn-
tage Of being on the floor when the question is up
for settlement Some of them were inclined to
abandon the contest far the delegates at large
are concerned, but Senator Riddleberger protested
strongly against this, and insisted that the con-
test should be carried to the convention in the
case of the delegates at large. He was walking
around with az enormous badge labeled. Blaine
and Protection" Ex-Gov Cameron and Mr.. John
S. Wise have also with Mr. Riddleberger circu-
lated freely among the delegates and presented
their ideas of the case. Gen. Malone, however,
still seems TO be confident he will ultimately Sc
cure the admission of his delegation entire
