Take the street,

Bicycle beginners have been accus-
toned recently to riding their ma
chimes on the sidewalks on Market
street and have caused some discom-
fort to pedestrians thereby. Last
Sunday one young man came to grief
by running over and knocking down a
colored woman. Himself came to grief
against a fence by the conclusion.
The street is the place always, in
other cities, for these gentry.

Dead weeds, saturated with the re-

growing weeds and these people can
not quite understand this sCrange sys-

Storm in Washington.

A severe rainstorm, accompanied by
driving wind, prevailed at Washing
ton, d. c., for two hours, on the 10th.
1t was especially severe in the lower
part of the city and miniature cyclone
ragged over path of about 400 feet wide,
extending from the Smithsonian insti-
tuition to the botanical gardens at the
foot of the capitol. The roofs of the
fish commission building and the ma
tional museum were partly torn of,
the plants, trees and green houses
in the botanical garden we're
badly damaged and number of
private houses in the neighborhood
were unroofed. An incident amusing
happened in the yard of the fish COM
mission, where a number of sea turtles
were kept. The gate which confines
them was blown down during the storm.
The Waterman in charge had a hard
task in the rain storm trying to keep the
turtles back, who took this opportunity
to escape.
Reports from the country districts
state that the lowlands are all under
water and roads and bridges carried
away so that travel is almo tlmpossible,
while there is great damage to property.

ST, PAUL DIVIDENDS.
Nothing Paid on the Common Stock and
a Reduced Amount on the Preferred.

Reduced Amount on the Preferred.
After the Ion gest meeting ever held
by the st. Paul directors to consider the
dividend, they resolved to pay nothing
on the common stock and reduce the
dividend on the preferred stock to .
per cent. against 3 per cent. declared
six months ago. The common stock on
which dividends are suspended amounts
to over $50, 900, and since 1879 has
ranked among the steady dividend
payers, while the preferred stock has
received per cent. per annum for over
twenty years. The statement for six
months ending June 80, is as follows:
For 1SSS-Gross earnings, SIC, 554, OS9;
operating expenses, SS,676, 163; net
earnings, 81, 875, ops. For lSS7-Gross
earnings. $l1,l93,4 AL: operating ex-
penses, SIS, 662 $50; net earnings, 81 $780,
54l. None of the directors would speak
on the subject after the meeting, but
their actionwas universally considered
as most unavorable AS the pre-
ferred stock is entitled to z per cent. be-
fore anything is paid on the common
stock it is unlikely that dividends will
be resumed on the common stock inside
of two years. Contrary to the general
custom the official statement does not
give the fixed charges nor the result at
ter paying dividends. The interest
charges amount to S., 963, go, leaving a
deficit of over g, 100000 to be made up
before anything could be earned on the
stock

ed in Jacksonville in One Day
The long season of wet weather, fol-
lowed by few hours of sunshine, has
had the effect OF rapidly developing
new cases of fever. The record to-day
was badly broken, ninetythree new
cases being reported to the Board of
Health. Only one death, howev-

an infant. A number Of people
are critically i'll, and it is feared
there will be another large list OF dead
tomorrow. Total cases reported to
date, $50; total deaths, III. A medical
board Of more than dozen physicians
from other cities is located In the Har-
ris block. More are needed, as well as.
more nurses. The new cases are more,
largely among negroes. The negroes
cling to the city. The propriety OF ask
ing the stoppage Of contributions has
been mooted, but the developments Of
the last few days indicate that the needs
will be larger than anticipated.

counter-Severa1 Killed.
LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch from
Auckland to-day says advices from
Samoa say that the natives have rebell-
ed ION account of IN attempt made by
Herr Branders, German official, to in
duce them to confer the name of Malietoa
upon Tamasese, and also because the
taxation imposed upon them was excess
sive. Herr Branders, at the head Of a.
force of Samaans, who favor the preten-
sions of Tamasese, has had an encounter
in the bush with the rebels and
seven of his force were killed,
the rebels losing but three men.
Many of the combatants were wounded.
Herr Branders' force numbered 1900
men while that of the rebels is 5000
strong. The deposition of Tamasese is
inevitable unless the Germans lend him
active support.
