A Star Chamber session.

A strictly star chamber meeting was the
conference last night between the council
committee on streets, and the committee of
seven appointed by the chamber of COM
merce to talk ON street railway matters to
them. At the close of the ses-
sion, however, there was every III
dicaiion that the conference had been par
ticipated in by several jOvial. disinterested
spirits Certain gentlemen present were too
hilarious and happy for earthly habitation,
and the reporters who attempted to gain any
information from them had a hopeless task
indeed. Mayor Smith was present. however,
and maintained his usual dignity. The meet
ing was not devoid of results. he stated, and
certain conclusions were arrived at, but it
was decided advisable not to give out any of
the proceedings for publication. The COM
mittee on streets will probably report the re-
suits of their deliberations at the next coun-

A proposition before the state board of

of personal property in st. Paul and Mime

opposed the proposition, so far as the Sanity
City was concerned, and was supported by
P H. Kelly, who appeared before the board
for that purpose. Mr. Kelly said the citizens

very highest valuation when the assessor az
peared If there was an instance where
citizen was inclined to be low, the county
board of equalization quickly raised it. The
valuation of personal property minneapolis
had fallen over S2,000,0OO below that Or
last year, and Mr. Kelly suggested the tad

 Food.
 HARRISBURG, Pa., June Ex-Governor Beaver las been sitting by Western Union operator the past two hours direct ing movements at Johnstown, giving in. formation to President Harrison as to the condition of affairs in the flooded dis trict, and getting news from various parts of the State on the subject. He re- ceived q long dispatch from the mayor and other citizens of Williamsport, show ing the wreck accomplished by the freshet and the destitution existing in that city. The dispatch reports that thousands of people are homeless; that actual want prevails, and that prompt support is urgent ly needed The loss of lumber alone is estimated at S5000,0O). Other damage done by the flood will exceed that amount. Owing to the unprecedented high water, the necessary supplies to feed the sufferers can not be obtained at Will. transport. The Governor has telegraphed to Mayor Filler of Philadelphia and Mayor Kennedy of Reading to dispatch food trains to WiIliamsport, and in TO- sponse to a request of the Governor, President Harrison has had Q similar train started from Washington, which is expected to pass through this city this afternoon.

CHAPTER VII. nnrrn. rr-HlI Arnrr

black night, the dark waters, the tall smokc-stacks from which sparks occasion ally rolled in showers, all tended to give an awful solemnity to the scene. The awe-in- spring silence of those thousands of blue coats was intensified by an occasional whisper.
 One by one the lights of Cairo went out like the bright hopes of life, and Luke stood gazing upon the silent statue-hke forms of the soldiers, who were sitting in rows upon the deck. Growing tired of re- maining in one place, he went to the bow. Here stood a solitary man, with the shoul- der-straps of General, hls arms folded across his breast, his eyes fixed on the river. IL was so dark that his features were hardly recognizable, and he did not know him until he turned and said:
 "YCung man, you are likely to see some service" He recognized him now as Gen. eral Grant.
 "Yes, General; I came for that busi- nessn
 The General again relapsed into silence, and stood gazing down into that impenetra- ble darkness into which the boat was plung- ing
 Luke would have very much liked to ask General Grant some questions, but that strange, silent man, leading an army to battle, was not easily approached. Hestood and gazed for some time on that immova ble, sphinx like figure, seeming to gain strength and con fidence from his very si- lence. Feeling himself to be an intruder he returned to his company.
 The boats were compelled to travel very slowly owing to the fog and intense dark ness. Colonel Smart, during the night, came from the cabin where some of the off cers were, and told Luke they were going to Belmont.
 "We don't dare tackle Columbus, it's too strong"
 "But Columbus is not far from Belmont, may they not reinforce the rebels there!' asked Luke.
 "We'll lick thunder out Q 'em afore they kin do that
 The veteran of the Belpont expedition who may chance to read this narrative will here recall some of the emotions which thrilled his own soul as he found himself drifting down the dark river, knowing fuh well that the morrow would bring death struggle.
 It was the intention to take Belmont by surprise, and but for the fog and intense darkness they would have succeeded; but owing Co not being able to see where to land, the transports were forced to beat about until daylight, when they ran in un- der tho banks, gang blanks were thrown out, and the disembarhation commenced.

The first man whom Luke saw go ashore was that silent man of iron, whose very presence seemed to inspire the men with confidence. He led his horse off the gang plank and up the steep muddy bank, where he waited for the troops.
 "Fall in," commanded the Colonel
 "Company F, fall in," commanded Cap tain Mason, and in moment every man was in line Some of them as they went ashore were making breakfast of crack CTS, which was to be their last meal.
 Luke's company at last began to file down the narrow stairway to the boiler deck, and to climb up the muddy bank. The shore was now lined with blue coats, bright caps and glistening muskets.
