enough of it is raised to Justify the ex-

communication with these gentlemen it
is necessary that those Of our farmers
who raised flax last year should bring

that we may forward them. We have
recommended Lewiston as the best
point for an oil mill.
The subject Of the cultivation Of flax
and the erection Of an oil mill largely
engaged our attention in 1881 and 1882,
while We resided in Lewiston, and we
succeeded in pushing the matter so far
as TO have building erected for the oil

found so much more profitable than

and the latter clause OF the 4th verse. 1t
was an eloquent sermon, ably delivered,
very betitting the occasion, one that not

and rising generation were taught as to
their duty in keeping faithfully the
trust handed down 10 them by the

Terrific Rain amt Wind storms which do
Little Damage.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock q
terrific windstormc came from thewest. Il
fortunately did not last longand for that
reason did little damage. 1t was follow
ed by drenching rain, accompanied by
thunder and lightning and a little hail.
The hail was very light in the middle Of
town, and heavier us it got southwark.
One window was broken in the Fifth
ward. The rain flooded several streets
where the volume OF water was too
great to be carried off by the sewers.
The tent OF Clements & Russell's ten
cent circus, pitched on the Island just
south Of the west approach to the sus.
pension bridge, was somewhat sheltered
BY its surroundings, but was so damaged
by the storm that it had to be taken
down for repairs, and another storm
coming on, no show was given last night.
The second storm occurred between
$50 and $3.50 p. M, and was in some
quarters more severe than the earlier
one. Shade and fruit trees and tele-
graph wires were DTOheh Ut uuulubcui
gardens almost ruined and the streets
again flooded. =,
Last evenings heavy rain and hail
storm did considerable damage Mt Mar
tins Ferry. The grades and alleys on
the hillside were badly washed out.
Martins addition was flooded until it
looked like n small lake. The board
walk back OF the Grove was broken and
pieces OF it washed away by swollen
stream. The stream that flows through
Culvert in Clark's addition overtlowed
its banks and washed the culvert, gravel
and all down on the crossing OF the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad. The
$40 train was delayed there for hours
and the eastbound freight was laid over
on the siding. One OF A. G. Branum's
delivery wagons, from Bridgeport, was
going up Hanover street, when the
ground gave way where plumbers had
been at work, letting the wagon into n

Ex.Gov. Pierpont, the war Governor

opposition manifested to receiving the

When they, get !, regiment Of nlg lE rs

FAVORED SALOON KEEPERS.


They Arc Allowed to Conduct business
Illegally Fl Days.
The annual liquor licenses in this city
expire and ought to be renewed the
first Monday in May. Messrs. G. r.
Behler and Frank Healy yesterday paid
their annual license tax, having been
allowed to carry on business for twenty
one days without license, while other
saloon keepers were compelled to pay
up and give bond May Z, or quit the
business. This discrimination has been
a subject OF quiet remark for some time,
and finally became public scandal.
Yesterday Councilman Tracy learned OF
the matter and threatened to take vigor-
GUS action If something was not done to
right the injustice done other saloon
keepers. In the course OF the afternoon
Mr.. Behler, and sometime later Mr..
Healy, called on Receiver Dunaway and
paid the stipulated sum.
An 1NTELLIGESCER reporter inquired
about the case at the City Hall. He was
told that when the license year expired,
IuC ISCCclNtl huu lluIlHCu SlIy SlCIh
Bowers and Clerk Bowers informed City
Sergeant Smith that the two men named
had not taken out licenses. Every day
after May Z that they sold glass Of IL
quor or beer they violated the law and
it was the duty Of the Sergeant to prose-
cute them. Yet nothing was done un-
til the matter got to be common street
talk.
Some time ago Clerk Stanley, of the
Police and Fire Board, called the atten-
ton OF Capt. Smith to the fact that
Mcssrs. Behler and Healey were selling
without license. Nothing resulted
from this. Yesterday Clerk Stanley
called Deputy Sergeant Shorts attention
to the matter, and told him it was his
duty to arrest the offenders, unless they
paid up. 1t was not long after this that
they did pay up, after having twenty
one days OF grace after Others in their
business had been compelled to put up
the money or shut up their places Of
business,

DROWNING AT BRIDGRPORT.

browns him.
A sad and distressing case Of drowning
occurred near Bridgeport last evening
during the progress of the terribly severe
and heavy wind and rain storm thatpre-
vailed between and 0 o'clock. Before
the storm commenced six-year-old SON
Of Joseph Taylor started out IL company
with two companions, who were two or
three years older than he, to look for
and drive home the COWS belonging to
their parents. They went up the old
Cadiz pike, and when about half mile
up the road the storm broke and they
took shelter under the chute at Brooks
coal mine. Under this chute there runs
a small stream or run. This soon after
the rain commenced became swollen
till it reached the proportions OF dan
gerous mountain torrent. 1t roared with
a noise that drowned the frightened
cries OF the boys, who by the sudden
rising OF the run were made prisoners
under the chute. Suddenly the angry
torrent appeared to leap still higher and
the Taylor boy was swept from his feet
and whirled away from his frightened
companions. The current was so swift
that he was swept from their view almost
instantly.
As soon as the waters subsidized suffi-
GENTLY to allow them to get out, they
hurried home and gave the alarm. A
party was instantly organized to search
Tor the body, there being few who had
any hope OF his having been able to
save himself from the torrent by catch
ing any branch. Diligent search was
made all along the banks Of the run
from the river to the chute, but no trace
could be found. The body was evidently
whirled through q long Culvert and into
the river. Late last night the back river
was seined by friends Of the bereaved
family in the hope of recovering the re-
mains. The stream is one OF the quick
est to rise in this locality, and while il
soon subsidies, while it Is on high tits
one OF the most dangerous.
