THERE have been less accounts of
disasters from overAowing rivers this
spring than usual. A despatch from
St. Louis says advices from the Red
river country report that damage done
to the inhabitants of the Red River
Valley during the past ten days is al
most beyond comprehension. The
overflow is the largest since 1843. Most
of the plantations near the river have
been covered with water from four to
six feet deep. Many of the people have
lost their household furniture, provis-
ions and corn. In several places the
river water extended from the hills of
Arkansas to the !sills of Texas, a dis
tance Of ten to fourteen miles. Quite a
number of deaths from drowning are
reported. Planting in the bottoms will
have to be done all over again.
The levee south of Alexandria, Mis-.
souri,, broke in several places Saturday
morning, and the town was soon inun
dated. The whole town is submerged
from two to six feet, and business il
entirely suspended. The Mississippi
river at that point is seven miles wide
A despatch from Fort Benton, Mon
tana, says work on the Missouri rive
bridge has been suspended owing T.
the unprecedented high stage of th

BoY Drowned.

A colored boy named Robert John
son, aged 81 years, son of John John
son, was drowned at the mill gates at
GarrisOn's mill, four miles below
Smyrna, on Sunday. The little boy
had accompanied his father to the waste
gates, and while his father was down
below, where the fishermen stand and
often catch herring, shad and other
fish that come up the creek, the little
boy climbed up the bank to the bridge
that spans the gates and by some
means fell over into the mill pond and
was drowned. The roar of falling
water from the hand gates made it i'm
possible for the father, where he was
to hear the splash or even cries, of the
boy, if he made any. On going up t.
the bridge and not finding his Sol
there thought he had gone on hOm
but at the suggestion of another man
search was made, and he was found il
front of the gates. Coroner Wrigh
held an inquest yesterday.

Death of Victor Dupont.

Victor Dupont, leading member Of
the Delaware bar, died IN Wilmington
Sunday, of Bright's disease, aged sixty
years and two days. He was a grand
son of Victor Dupont, who emigrated
from France to this State in 1899, and
of Nicholas Van Dyke, at one time
Governor of this State and a United
States Senator. General Lafayette at
tended the wedding of his parents, at
New Castle, Del, in 1924.
The deceased was cousin of Gen.
Henry Dupont, the head of the Dupont
Powder Works. He was educated at
Delaware College, and at Harvard
University, reading law afterwards
with the late Chief Justice Gilpin, oi
this State. He was brought up whig
but 30 years ago united himself with
the democratic party, and remained q
consistent, influential member of thai
organization until his death. He
never held Office, but twice refused &
nomination for Governor, and once
seat in the United States Senate. H'
was president of the Union NatiOna
Bank, of Wilmington, for the las
twenty-five years, and Yestryman o
Trinity P. r. Church for longer time
His wife and eight of their ten children
survive him.
It goes without saying that Mr.. Du
points word was just the same as hi
bond, but the quality Of his integrity
was broader and deeper than this. !
is not likely that in the seclusion of hi
own thoughts the idea ever occurred t
him Of getting the advantage Of an,
one. He accorded naturally and as
matter Of right to every one all tina
belonged to him, aud an opponent
interest were as safe in Mr.. Dupont
hands as they were in his own. To b
self-seeking at the expense Of anothe
was foreign to his nature.

THIS is prominently Convention
week with the politicians. Thirteen
Republican State Conventions are
among the number, seven of which
were held yesterday, three are being
held to-day, and three, including Della
ware will come off tomorrow. This
will include all the Republican states
except North Carolina, which will be
on the 23rd. The meeting of nine
Democratic State Conventions will also
occur during the week. This will
make twenty-four states that have
held Democratic state conventions.
Some of the remaining fourteen will
occur as late as May so, compelling the
delegates to hurriedly pack their grip
sacks and hasten to St. Louis in order
to be present at the opening of the
Democratic National Convention, June
5th. Another political event of the
week will be the meeting of the differ
ent Labor parties in national cOnven-
ton in Cincinnati. These include the
United Labor, the Union Labor and
the Greenback Labor parties, and the
Farmers Alliance will also meet in
| Cincinnati this week. The acknOwl
edged purpose of calling these national
labor conventions at the same time anC
at the same place is the hope of fusine
them into one organization presiden
tial ticket which all can support. Con
gresham Smith, of the Fourth WiscOn
sin District, is the most prominent can
didate for the presidency before thes
labor organizations.

THE Philadelphia Times in an article
on Courts and Newspapers says:
In the ancient days of cobweb law
it was deemed an Offense for a news
paper to refer to any case that had
reached the sacred portals Ofthe courts.
1t was a logical idea for an age in
which newspapers were rather tOlera-
ted than encouraged, and rather hated
than respected, and in Courts assumed
unapproachable dignity but that age
has passed away. Newspapers are
now quite as much a public necessity
as are the courts. They are the chief
educators the people; they are univer-
sally read, and they give news about
courts just as they give the news about
horse races, reviVals, cyclones, evan
gelical alliances and epidemics.
Nor do the newspapers, as a rule,
violate any Of the prOprieties of their
high prerOgatives. They abstain from
such discussion of judicial cases as
might improperly bias either Judges OF
jurors; and, considering the impOr
tance that is now attached to news Of
every character, it is remarkable how
careful newspapers are to avoid any in
trusiOn upon the administration of jus
tice. There are exceptional instances
of the abuse Of the preTOgatives o
journalism, just as there are exception
al instances of the abuse of judicia
powers by Judges, but the rule of jour
nalism is to scrupulously respect tn
rights of all in the Courts"

THE General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church in the United States
of America will begin in its one-hun-
dreth annual meeting in Philadelphia,
tomorrow. On the same day the AS
sembly of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, whose corporate title is the
same as that Of the Northern Assembly,
except that the last two words are
dropped, will open in Baltimore. I'm
pOrtant questions are to be discussed
by these bodies, one of them being on
the advisability Of the organic union
of the two branches of the Church. In
1861 DR.. Gardiner Spring, Of the Brick
Church, Of New York, offered resolu-
lions expressing loyalty to the Federal
Government. These resolutions were
the alleged reason for forming the
Southern Assembly. A feature Of thu
meetings this year will be the centen
nial memorial day. The history o
Prosbyterianism, its future, its scholar
ship and its relations to the vital prob
lens of the day win be ably handled.

THE efforts to master and develop
electricity have led to very important
results in science. Thomas A. Edison
gave an interesting exhibition with his
perfected phonograph in the rooms of
the Electric Club, New York, Saturday
evening. There was very large
number of electricians and newspaper
men present. Mr.. Edison made his
little machine talk, sing and whistle
with almost human clearness and into
nation. One of the unique features OF
the exhibition was a cOmpositOr setting
type from a phOnograph which slowly
and distinctly repeated to him words
that one of the newspaper men haC
talked into it. A paper descriptive o
the progress of electrical science wa
read by Mr.. Gilliland.
