The Damage to the Georgetown Level

more serious, for the break there is much larger
than the first one, and the tow path
left intact in many places is so damaged that il
needs reconstructing. This part Of the canal
the most expensive, and it will cost several
thousand dollars to repair it.
THE THIRD BREAK
going in the same direction is not less than
900 feet in extent.
There is there an irregular breakage Of the
tow path for more than half mile, develop
ing at four points into minor breaks,
but Of sufficient dimension to allow
steady streams of water from the feeder above
its fow in its silent course to the Potomac
coursing over the low grounds.
Barring the washing out of the storm slope
OF the canal for a good distance above the
Chain bridge, the freshet did little damage.
DAMAGE AT THE DAM.
At the feeder, which is about one-haf mile
above the chain bridge, the guard wall which
directs the course Of the water into the George
town level and the gates which were used
to regulate the supply Of water are rendered
useless. And the residents OF the vicinity of
the feeder lock are Of the opinion that unless
extensive repairs are made, the feeder will be
Of no use in the future.
The immense lock gates and stone copings
were forced from their longtime resting place,
aud the iron bars and bolts were twisted as
though they were of slightwire.
On the way to the scene Of the damage THE
STAR man met gentleman who pos
sesses more than ordinary knowledge
concerning the construction Of the
canals, and he was of the opinion that the
work was virtually finished, and that moth
ing will be done with it. The casualty
remarked that IL the canal was reconstructed
for the millers only mill race conld be built
much cheaper and equally as effective.
There Is scarcely any doubt that upon close
examination the cost of its reconstruction
would footup well in the thousands; II Is thought
over CSC, 900.

Samoans Want Food.

WAsnEGToN, Aug. 10.-Under date Of
July II Rear Admiral Kimberly reports
10 The navy department from Apia, Sa-
moa, that The father of the Catholic mis-
sion there had requested help from him
20 relieve The pressing want OF food then
existing. Upon his return from Pago
Page in a small vessel chartered for the
trip, be brought back with him from
the M~onongahela biscuit, rice, corr
meal and other provisions, which
he turned over to the Catholic
mission for distribution among the
distressed Samoans. The admiral
writes that there is undoubtedly a great
scarcity Of food at present, but does not
apprehend any loss of life from famine,
except possibly among the old and
feeble, as there are %cocoanuts enough suf'
fcient to exist on now, and they will
soon be helped out by the approaching
harvest of bread fruit, and later by
bananas. Teas and taro are being gen
orally planted, but it will require several
months before they are ripe enough &c
gather.

them scattered through the southern
counties, and the general average OF
yield will be large. In the more
nOrtherly sections there have been many
surprises, some farmers iodiDg that they
have twice the amount Of grain they had
counted on.
South Dakota will have a strong half
crop. 1t will be necessary to wait until
harvesting is further advanced. how
ever, before estimates OF q more definite
character can be obtained. Light frosts
were reported at various points
during the week, but they caused
no damage. A Few local.
ties also have been visited by hail. The
damage caused by the hailstones was in
most cases confined 70 small areas. 1t
cuts no figure in the general crop results.
A novel feature of the situation is the
fac. that some farmers, when the stem Is
very short, are cutting the grain with
moving machines. All this, Of course
applies TO the great spring wheat crop.
Winter wheat in Minnesota and Dakota
amounts TO hardly a drop in the BUCKET;
but in the southern section this season
considerable more winter wheat was
Gown than usual, and 1t has turned out
poorly on account OF the drought early
in the spring.
The rains of the week were very bene
fetal TO both corn and root vegetables,
but still as the Iains were not general
there are some localities where moisture
is needed. Flax and mil!et are doing
we'll and the former will be q large crop.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 12-Wheat harvesting

Cherokee Nation, in an interview de

probable &C ion of the commission, but
from other sources 1t is learned
that the council is pretty evenly
divided upon the question, and that un-
less some strong arguments are adduce
in favor Of the sale, the proposition will
be rejected. Should it be favorably re

CINCINNATI Aug. 9-There is much
distrust between not a few distiliers and
dealers and the whisky trust. Messrs.
Frieburg & WoIkum, not members OF
the trust yet, had a working agreement
which the trust folks claimed to have
been violated. Thcreupon war was de
clared against this firm and the courts be.
came the battle ground, whe:ecn the
trust was vanquished, because the laws
of the land do not recognize any such or
ganizalion. But the action is transferred
by assignment TO the Storrs Distil!lng
company, and much gore lin the shape Of
CASH is calculated to be shed on each
side. The great distiller and yeast
maker, Hon. Charles Fleischmann, is also
at loggerheads with he trust on account
Of their trenching upon his exclusive
yeast making privileges, and he threatens
TO make things buzz for them if his
rights are persistently 'rampled upon. A
great deal Of discomfort and distrust pre-
walls in the trade concerning the policy
and practices OF this trust, and the feel

Received q Heavy Shock.

SrEuBENvILLE, o., Aug. 49, A. G.
Davids, superintendent OF the Steuben'
will Electric railway, had an experience
today with a direct Edison current that
should be an argument for the opponents
Of the proposed execution of criminals
by electricity. The electric railway is
provided with the Prague system of mo
tors. the power being furnished by an
Edison machine of 900 voltage. The
trolley wire broke this morning and one
end fell to the street. The electrician
being absent Davids undertook TO repair
the damage himself by using insu-
lated tools. The pliers were dull and
he had some difficulty in cutting
the wire, but suddenly it parted
and he received the full force Of the
900 volt current. 1t knocked him to the
ground and rendered him unconscious
for a short time. He rallied and was
taken to his room, and beyond consider
able nervous prostrstion is uninjured,
He describes the shock to be the same as
if he were struck on the breast with a
club, but says that, while the pain vas
intense for the instant, it lasted such a
shor, time that it was gone before he
realized what had been done. Other
employees of the railway have received
shocks in a milder form and all assert
their fe8rlossness OF coming into contact
with the supposed deadly current. II

LANSING, Mich, Aug. Sin 1874
George w. Barnhart, a well known and
well-to-do citizen of Branch county, was
accused of a criminal assault and in due
course OF time was convicted and, owing
to popular clamor, was sentenced to
prison for life. His property was dissi-
plted, his wife died, and his family has
been scattered over the country. Barn
bart has suffered his imprisonment I'm
complainingly, and recently q movement
was set on foot looking TO his pardon.
The more thoroughly the matter was in
vestigated the more apparent it became
thst the man was unjustly convicted.
Nearly everybody in the county signed a
petition for his release. The board OF
pardons made exhaustive research and
they are convinced that he is being I'M
righteously punished. Today Governor
Luce extended an unconditional pardon
TO Barnhart, who gees out into the cold
world again without money, family OF
property.

Guilty Because She Is an America"


LONDON, Aug. l0-The charge of
Judge Stephens in the Maybrick case is
no surprise to those who are aware OF his
anti-American sentiments. He is one of
that old school Of antedeluvian tories
who have never been able to see any
thing good in the American republic,
and many OF whom hate anything ema-
mating from across the Atlantic as. to use
a well worn phrase, 1.-The devil hates
holy water" and there is a very general
impression that had the accused woman
belonged to any ether nationality she
| would have Jared better at the hands OF
the presiding judge who is notorious
for his habit of allowing his prejudices
to get the better Of his judgment. Ar
appeal held upon this fact would, how.
ever, have little weight with the home
office, as it is invariably the policy of
the government TO support the judiciary
right and wrong, and M matter how
glaring their faults may have been. The
most for which Mrs. Maybrick. innocent
or guilty, can hope is a communication OF
the sentence to imprisonment for life,
and the movement that has been started
10 that end promises to be influential
enough to attain its object.
