Northwestern Freight Agents Action.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The general freight
agents of the northwestern roads met to-day
for the purpose of revising their tariffs
wherever they are affected by the special
commodity rates to be put into operation
tomorrow. A resolution was adopted pro-
viding that the special rates should apply
only to points on the direct line of each road
to St. Paul. AS the representatives of the
Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City voted for
this resolution, 1t would appear that that
road has given up its intention of applying the
rates TO Missouri Pacific points Immediately.
According TO the terms of the resolutions the
rates can not now be extended further than
Marshalltown, Ia, which is on the line of
that road to st. Paul. The reduction is in
consequence of the action of the Chicago &
Alton making that rate on westbound traffic
from Chicago to Denver.

FLOODED BY CLOUD BURSTS.
Great Damage Done in the City of
TituSYiIIe, Pa.

T1TUsvrLLE, Pa, July "a terrific thunder
storm passed over this city last evening. 1t
was followed by two cloud bursts that
caused furious overflow of Church run,
which runs through the city. Cellars were
filled and in some cases the water rose
to the first stories of the houses, Fully
three miles of streets were flooded
and over two feet of water was on the side
walks. Families along the line of the food
became frantic and IL number OF RATS were
built on which women and children were
taken TO place OF safety. The force of the
water ripped up hundreds of feet of sewers
ana badly washed out the roads of the sur
rounding country.
At East Titusville number of residences
were badly damaged and several narrow es-
capes from drowning occurred. The water
poured down the hills northwest of the city,
where the cloud-bursJ occurred, in a perfect
avalanche, sweeping all before it and running
a number of valuable farms.

The Mayor falls very short Of realiz.

This Is not the theory Of the law which

the theory he applies to himself.

sR;-Haying noticed an article In the
lSTELtlaEScER, advocating the pFopri'
ETY. Of dancing church member, have
concluded to show in brief, the impro-
priety. Modern dancing by no means
resembles the Hebrew dancing, The
Jewish dances were expressive o. re-
.ligious Joy and gratitude. Sometimes
they were in honor Of q conqueror, as IN
the case Of David when he had slam
the Philistine giant, "the women came
out OF all the cities OF Israel singing and
dancing TWAS pFaCticedon occasions
OF domestic Joy, as In the case Of the
prodigal sons return, Hebrew dancing
seems 10 have been practiCed only on
Joyous occasions, only by one q the
sexes, usually In the daytime and inthe
open air; no instances are on record IN
which the two sexes united In the ex'
e%rcise,p
Robinson's Bible Dictionary says Of
dancing; 1.-THE Hebrew word signihed
to leap for Joy, Psalm 80, Iii and the ac-
ton OF the lame man healed by Peter
and John more nearly resembled the
Hebrew dancing than the measured aFti-
fetal steps OF modern times do" Let us
notice the SCrlptural reference TO dane
ing for amusement as referred TO by pr;
Robinson, They are the vain fellows, !"
alluded to by MiChal, 2 Sam, o, 20i the
ungodly rich families Teierred:to by,JLb
q, IL, and the daughter Of Herodias,
Mat. IA, 0. Among tile Greeks and Ro'
mans dancing was q common pastlme,
resorted TO in order to enliVen teasts,
and also on occasion OF domestic Joy,
Still Cicero says, mo one dances unless
he Is either drunk or mad; and these
words express the prevailing sense as to
the improperly Of respectable ~indiyidu'
ais taking part In the amusement, Hence
the gay circles OF Rome, as Is the case in
the east at the present time, derived
entertainment from the performances oil
professional dancers. These were wo'
men OF abandoned character, and their
dances, like those in heather temples,
were oGton grossly indecent" Isaiah 20,
IS.
The following is an extract from the
Rev. D. r. wilkins, who says; "Danc-
ing Is not done in the name OF the Lord.
Paul says, DO all things in the name pi
the Lord 1t is heathenistic, The less
of civilization q nation has the more oil
dancing, Our Saviour did not dance
the Apostles and early Christians did
mt dance. No one diving sends for O
dancing master to comfort him. Nc
good dancer wants it placed on his tomb
stone that he was an expert dancer. II
tolerates a freedom between the sexes
both immodest and often resulting per
niCiously. 1t creates a jealousy between
man and wife, between lover and lover
1t requires no brain to be a dancing
master. We cannot let our light shine
