fishes q telegram under date Of Carlisle,

by President Harrison in response to an
invitation to attend the National Grang-

part: THE tariE question, which is now
before the people, is the most important
question OF the day, aud the people
should be thoroughly enducsted on it.
AS there is no doubt that the farming
element OF this country is the hackbo

government, it is necessary that they
should understand this question, 80 that
they can chooEe hetyeen Tree Trade

ruinous to the Government and the
other would be prosperity to the Coy

Clerk Hook yesterday received for
record the certificate Of incorporation of
the Bridgeport Bridge Company, formed
for the purpose Of building bridge
across the Back river, from some point
on the Islaud to some point in or below
the town Of Bridgeport. The capital is
$500, 600, in shares OF Sl00 each, aud the
incorporators, W. D. UptegraT and CIV.
G. Ferris, OF Pittsburgh; John NJ.
Sweeney, Henry Schmulbach and W. P,
Hubbard, OF Wheeling, hold one share
each.
In this connection it is significant that
the people who have been buying up
property on Ohio street, for SONS mys.
terious purpose, yesterday purchased
another piece, the house and lot of Mr..
Nicoll, adjoining the residence OF Mr.. l..
j. Bayha. Three holdings remain on
this square, and it is understood that all
are wanted. There can be no doubt that
the explanation Of these purchases, first
suggested by the INTELLla EScEn, namely,
a combined wagon bridge, bridge for the
electrical railway and the c., L. l. w.

establish u large distillipg industry in
opposition to the whisky trust. lie ia
in Chicago now for the purpose OF select
ing machinery for q distilling plant to
cost nearly S3,o0o,0Oo. Such an estab.

alcohol that the trust now has trade for
independent OF the outside houses. It
is tho idea Of Ilera not only to put up u
big distillery, but to combine districts
with it to warrant tho establishment Of
q small western town. This, with the
profits from Mr.. Ilera's breweries, would
keen the distiliery ahoat, even II the
trust gave away lis products. 1t will be
in such shape that the enterprise eau
meet tho terms Of the trust at any stage.
The plant is to be established on the
Missouri river at aomo point In the

declined to make the location public

HALIFAX, N. s., July ll.-A terrible
disaster happened in Dartmouth to.
night. The ferry landing stage, whiio
crowded with GOO persons, collapsed an d
precipitated the throng into the watef,
Causing. an immenae loss OF HE. Five
bodies, those Of a woman, named ellyar
and her child, II woman uamed -synot
and two soldiers, have already been
taken out.
The number Of victims will not be
known till tomorrow disaster
happened by reason OF the chain a..
tached TO ferry float slipping out Ct
place and allowing the front OF Tho
bridge to sink and precipitate crowd tf
ooO or 700 men, women and children into
the water. The people were crowded
there waiting for the new ferry steamer
Annex, Just arrived from New York TO
Dock. When the steamer got within
two feet OF the landing n number Of per-
SONS Jumped on board and ut that mo-
ment the accident occurred.
For some minutes there was n COL.
fused mass Of men aud women and chill
dren struggling In the water, but the ac.
cident had hardly happened before n
dozen brave youths and men leaped 10
the rescue without waiting to throw
aside their clothes.
The drowning people were rapidly
passed up to tho men standing above on
the wharves, aud the rapidity wi h
which the divers performed their work
resulted in saving great majority OF
hose who fell from death.
When all those In sight had been
brought to land, the work OF graphing
or the drowned was commenced. With
n two hours four bodies had been re-
covered, but up TO midnight no o,h.r
ilctims had been found. : Owing to tho
'onfusion it is impossible to tell who
re missing.

TIE ELECTION BILL
Democratic Senator'S Will Fight It to tho
litter End.

Democratic Senator'S Will Fight 1t to tho
litter Emf.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Senate
Republican caucus last night practically
decided that the Federal Election bill
should be taken up at this session, but
there was no agreement rs to the pariia-
mentary course that should govern its
consideration.
The proposed change Of rules was dis
cussed, and the sentiment Of the Oldest
OF the Senators was expressed against
making any radical changes with refer.
ence TO thig bill.
1t was contended by some that 1t was
not necessary, and that the bill could
be passed il the Republican Senators
would remain in their seats and display
the necessary backbone.
The committen Of four appointed to
confer with the Rules Committee were
in conference to-day and talked over the
situation, and il they can agree upon
course OF action, will report to u caucus
to bo held Saturday or Monday evening.
It was conceded on all sides that the
election bill ought to be passed. and, ia
the language OF Senator Hoaf, "it would
be q crime for Congress to adjourn and
to allow the present condition of affairs
10 continue in the Southern States" The
ontside pressure is very strongly in favor
OF its consideration.
The Democrats in both houses, cspe.
cially in the Senate, were very much dis.
turbed to-day at the outlook. They had
been led to believe tha. the election bill !
would be allowed to 90 over, but now
that there is prospect OF its passage
they are comforting together to map out
a line Of obstruction policy which shall
be pressed.
One Of the Democratic leaders re.
marked today, in alluding to the situa.
ton: 1--WE are on the eve OF one OF the
most important political struggles that
has ever taken place in the Senate OF
the United States, and Us it is likely to
affect tho Democratic party throughout
The country, we propose to adopt heroic
treatment and exhaust every resource to
prevent what We regard as the most high
handed and outrageous piece Of legisla
ton that was ever attempted by any 20.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, July 1f.-When

continues larger for the season than in
any previous year and in all quarters
higher hopes are stimulated by excellent
crop reports. From many Northwestern

provement in trade because of crop
prospects. Yet prices OF wheat have
advanced II per cent, corn Il cents,
and oats hall cent. Hogs and lard are
higher with potatoes and eggs, but oil is

canses disappointment in coffee, though
prices are held. Slow consumption OF
sugar is also noticed. But the general
average OF prices has advanced fully !

Boston, but manufacturers do noL buy
freely. At Philadelphia dullness reigns
aud Western markets are weaker. In
the iron business the buoyancy antici-
pated at Philadelphia does not appear

the market weak. Pittsburgh notes no
loss in price, but slower movement.
Coal is dull and weak, the haif,year's
output being within 1000 tons Of the
output last year.
