A French water-coler portrait by Ar
mand DumakeSby of Benjamin Harri-
son, signer of the Declaration of indie
pendence. has been sent to his great
grandson, now president of the United
States. The elder Benjamin was not
handsome. He had receding chin and
forehead, and his nose was not pretty.
In the picture he is attired in full
dress, with knee breaches, low shoes,
full cut vest with ruffles, coat of the
Continental pattern and powdered wig
tied in aQueue. The expression on his
face is one of calm repose, as though all
his relatives were well provided for.
Gen. Arthur Dixwell, OF Boston, is
perhaps the most remarkable base ball
enthusiast in the country. He has re-
tired with fortune from active bust
ness and spends every afternoon at a
ball game. In the spring he arranged
to take an extended trip abroad this
summer, but when the Boston club took
the lead in the league race he aban-
dOned this design and decided to remain
in Boston and watch the efforts of the
BeaneateIS to capture the pennant.
When the Bostons win a game Gen.
DixWell treats the victorS to cigars. He
is confident that his fayorites will be
the champions this year.

FIGHTING FIRE AT SEA.
Particulars of the Blaze on Board
the steamer Alliance.

BALTIMORE, July 31,-ColumbuS ..
d. Lee, of Hoffman, Lee & Co., was a
passenger on board the steamer Alli-
ance, from New York for Rio. In a
letter from the latter place he gives
graphic account of fire on shipboard.
They left Pernambuco on Sunday, July
70 the following night fire was dis
covered between decks, near the en-
CINE room, in 1000 bales of cotton and
400 barrels of rum, the first intimation
being all explosion of rum. Capt.
Doors ordered the boats lowered, and
12O lives were afoat. AT daylight all
were taken again aboard, although the
fire was still raging. Bahia was reached
on the 9th, the crew being kept at work
throwing overheard cotton and rum,
the coal beavers being kept there at the
point Of the pistol. A hole was drilled
through the iron partition, and the car
penter held the water pipe, with the re-
suit that he has become blind. The
passengers behaved splendidly, not
man, woman OF child betraying the
least fear. Eight hundred and four
dollars was contributed to go to the

THE RAILWAY WORLD.
THE TRANsCoNTINENTAD.
Whitney Thinks the Association
Difficulties viii Be Adjusted.

General Passenger Agent Whitney, of
the Manitoba, returned yesterday MORN
ing from Chicago. where he has been
attending the meeting of the TranScOn-
tinental association. Speaking Of the
rumor that the association was in i'm
minent danger of dissolution, Mr..
Whitney said: "The trouble is due to
a dispute between the four Pacific
roads, the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific on one hand and the Canadian
Pacific and Southern Pacific on the
other. The first break was when the
Northern Pacific disputed the Union
Pacific's right to enter Puget sounds
territory. That matter has been shipped
to New York and will be settled by the
directors of both companies when Pres
ident Adams, of the Union Pacific, re-
turns from Alaska. The latter case,
however, looks to me like big bluff on
the part of the Southern Pacific, max
ing good its assertion that it would not
stand idly by and see the Canadian Pa
citic carry goods from point to point in
the United States through Canadian
territory. The difference, however.
will be amicably settled, / think. The
Canadian Pacific claims that it pays
per cent of the expenses of the Trans
continental association and only secures
5 per cent of the business. But for all
this unevennesS,I think everything will
be satisfactorily settled and the asso-
citation continue as before"

THE RAGING SCHUYLKILL.
Philadelphia Realizes What DAM
age Water Can Do.


PHILADELPHIA. Pa, July 31.-The
heavy rain which set in early on Tues
day evening. and continued until noon
to-day, resulted in one of the heav-
lest foods which has visited
the city for years. The Sehuyl-
kill river was converted into a
raging torrent, and the flood gradually
rose until about 7:30 O'Clock tonight.
The waterworks stopped this afternoon.
but the machinery has not been dam
aged beyond a coating of mud. At
Manayunk the water rose to point
eighteen feet above lOw-water mark,
which is higher than it has been since
1869. At noon the mills along the river
were stopped. and all the employees
were set to work removing goods from
the lower floors. twenty-five mills in
all were flooded, but the principal dam
age done will be through the enforced
stoppage of the mills. The tracks of
the railroads along the river below Mar
ket street were submerged and travel
was stopped for short time, but no
damage to the tracks was reported.
Considerable damage was done to the
wharf property along the lower part of
the city, land the meadows were flooded.
No loss of life has been reported except
the drowning of one boy near Gray'S
Ferry while attempting to take ride
on the wreckage floating by. The total
losses caused by the flood will probably
reach a very large sum.

numerous bad waShouts, and the bridge
over Cascade creek is swept away.
There were NO trains over that road to-
day. From Caswell and Rocking
ham counties in North Caro-
lima, and Henry, Franklin, Pitt
sylyania and Halifax, in Virginia,
come reports OF terrible dam
age. Bridges, fencing and low ground
crops are gone in every direction. The
bridges over Sandy river and Sandy

the grain crops have been greatly dam

EVIDENTLY A MISTAKE

penitentiary, asserts that Jim Burrows,
the Genoa train robber, died in the

malarial fever. He was admitted to the
hospital Sept. 20. Hospital Steward
Davis says the same, and also that he
put Burrows body in the coffin, and
life was certainly extinct. So that it is
pretty certain Jim is not assisting his
brother, Rube Burrows, in defying the
officers In Alabama, as reported this
merning from Birmingham, and jim
Burrows was in the penitentIary for
safe keeping until his trial for the
Genoa, Ark. train robbery, which was
to have taken place at Taxarkana last
December. During his confinement
Jim had confessed to the crime.
