plunged into the James river. One car was
carried down the river and coIlided with a

The President this morning appointed Lewis
E. Parsons, ST., of Alabama, to be attorney of
the United States for the northern and middle
district of Alabama
Mr.. Parsons is the man who organized the
'White Mans Party" in Alabama at the begin

pose was to put the control of the republican
party of the south in the hands of the whites,
and to draw to it some of the democrats. be-
cause of the character of the republican organ
ization in that section.

making company, whose headquarters are in
st. Louis, have purchased plant near this
city. Their purchase includes the brick yard
of DR.. F. r. Windsor, near Fort Runyon, a

longing to Thomas Smithson. The price paid
was 500 per acre. The Smithson property

IN WESTERN MARYLAND.
The Potomac Higher than in 1877
and the Water Still Rising.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
HAGERsTowS, MD, June 1.-The terrible
rain, which set in Oh Thursday afternoon, and
continued until II pm. last night, coming
down most OF the time in perfect sheets of
water, is having its effect. The country along
the Potomac Is inundated, and at Williams
port the river is higher than it was at the me-
morable flood III 1871, and will rise much higher.
There is much destruction of property
all along the river, and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal cannot be
seen, as it forms part of the surging mass Of
water which carries with it everything within
its grasp. At Wiiliamsport that portion of the
town near the river and along the canal is
under water. Defrehn's extensive chair works
Ac ushwas warehouse and Steffey & Findlay's
coal yard, store and offices will be DESTROYED
The canal aqueduct is out of sight and the
Cumberland valley railroad bridge over the
Potomac is so endangered that no trains are
being run over it. Barns and outhouses hay
ricks, lumber, IA ilroad ties, freight cars and
tcatle can be seen
CARRIED ALONG At A MIoHTY RATE
by the rushing waters. At this hour, 1880, the
river is feet higher than in 1877, and con-
tinues to rise at the rate Of Is inches per
hour. The water is spreading out over the
country. and all the roads leading to the
river are lined with every conceivable kind
Of conveyance, loaded down with persons
anxious TO see the novel but appalling sight
Hsgerstown is virtually deserted, her citizens
having gone almost en- masse to the scene Of
destruction. Loss of life is reported in some
of the lower districts, but from the excitement
prevailing, the damage to telephone, teie-
graph and railroad lines, It Is impossible to OBJ
tain accurate details. All the railroads center
ing az Hagerstown have been crippled, and no
trains have arrived this morning except one
from Harrisburg over the Cumberland Valley
Two bridges have been washed out on the
Washington county branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio, and iandslides and washouts have
done the work for the other roads.

THE PRESIDENTS VISITORS.
Numerous White House Callers To-day,
But Not the Old Time Rush.

The public tried TO make amends to the
President to-day for their neglect Of him yes
terday. Still there was not the rush that char
acterized the receptions until recently. The
office-seekers hand their cards to the doorkeeper
with . weary sigh, and walk slowly into the
cabinet room to wait their turn. The buoyancy
Of hope does not seem to attend them. Sena-
tors and Representatives have almost stopped
calling on ofics-seeking missions, and the new
custom IL for the candidate to come to look
after his own affairs, armed with q letter of

To say Ouida is more immoral than Zola now

THE DEATH SENTENCES.
Benjamin Hawkins to be Hanged JAM
uary 81 Next for the Murder of His Wife.

In the Criminal Court to-day among the pris.
oners brought up for sentence were the two
colored men recently convicted of murder
Lewis Williams for the murder of W. G. Alder,
formerly police officer, near BENIN g's, Octo-
Der /, 1887, and BENZ. Hawkins for the murder
Of his wife by stabbing her in South Washing
ton on the 14th of March last, the frst-nam ID
convicted on Wednesday last, and the latter on
May IA.
Hawkins was first called, and when informed
by the court that he had an opportunity to
say anything as to why he should not be SEN
fenced, he replied that he had nothing to say.
In imposing the sentence the court did so
with the knowledge and understanding that the
time could be extended until thirty days after
the next General Term.
"You have sent your wife into eternity with
out affording her an opportunity for prepare
ton. You have broken the law Of God and
man and 1 hope that you will make
your peace with God the only being
from whom you can expect pardon and peace
through the merits Of his Son."
He then imposed the sentence that the pris-
oner be taken to the Jail and be kept in close
confinement until Friday, August 80, between
the hours Of 10 am. and pm, and be hanged
by the neck until dead.
THE CASE OF LEWIS WILLIAMS.
Williams went over in consequence Of the
filing by Hewlett Of a motion for new trial on
the ground Of newly discovered testimony, 10.
The Vacancy on the Supreme Bench.
Attornsy-General Miller will leave Washing
ton next week for indianapolis to be gone for
some time. Attorney General Miller will not
go on the Supreme bench. But il
appears that the proposition to make
him . justice of the Supreme Court has
met with bnt little warmth among President
Harrison's friends. Those in Indiana and else
where whom he has consultedhave all acknowl-
eyed Mr.. Miller's personal excellence, but none
Of them have approved the proposition to place
him on the Supreme bench. Il can be stated
with equal positiveness that Judge Walter
Gresham will not be nominated 10 the ONCE.
The President has made his choice for this
Office, but it has not been conhded TO his
friends. The only information they can obtain
is Of . negative character.
