ALL ABOUT A REBEL FLAG.
A Violent Controversy Progressing
In a Jersey Town.

DOVER, N. j., July 14.-A rebel flag float
ing over Jersey soil is the cause Of bitter
personal warfare now raging in Morris coun-
ty. The originator Of the hostilIties is
fair young maiden, the daughter Of DIR. j. G.
Beattie Of Succasunna. but the present
cause Of trouble is Dr.. Beattie himself
Personally DIR. Beattie Is a gentleman Of
much culture; politically he still afiillates
with the South, which was his great war
time love.
At the recent unwilling Of the Lee monu-
ment at Richmond he was one OF the most
enthusiastic spectators. To give him an ap-
proprlate welcome home, his daughter
brought to light family-cherished relic Of
at the front OF their pretty little villa. In
stanily the villagers b scame excited. For
day and night they INDUCED In angry NUT
terings amcng themselves. Next morning
they surrounded Beattis's house and shout
ed. Tear down that rebel fiagl"
DIR. Beattle was aroused, ineensed, Gen
tlemen," said he, 81 hal intended furling
my flag today, but In the race Of such an ex-
hibition as this will float II to my hearts
con ent." He refused further argument,
and went indoors. Loud-volced threats
were uttered, and few bold ones approach
ed the flagstaff. Just then the CLEAN Of
something very like a rifle barrel was seen
at window, and hasty retreat was beaten.
AT MS DIs DtdLbic lOWtIbu tuc Ol-
fensiVe banner, and the villagers gradually
dispersed, but bright and early on the morn
ing OF the Fourth, when the true emblem Of
American patriotism was floating from every
house, the bars of the COnfederacy were
h0lsted on the Beattie staff. Bitter indeed
was the feeling then. The people ran from
house to house In whirl OF patriotic anger
and gathered In turbulent knots In til vii
lage public places, and ehafed and fretted
themselves into colonial revolutionary
mood, ready and eager for the fray. A
leader among the Succasunna cohorts. which
now were swelled by patriots from Dover,
Port Dram, Stanhope, HOpatcong, and other
neighborlng towns, prevailed In the advoca-
cy Of leg ! methods, and Instead Of storm-
ing the rebel castle, hewing TO the earth the
flagstaff and trampling Gin the dust the
Haunting emblem OF past days,ias had been
their plan, they sent for the officers Of Com
pany G at Dover, requesting them to tear
down the Confederate ensign.
Company G remai1ed dormant, and appli-
cation for relief was made to Colonel Camp
bell. of the First Regiment, who referred the
indignant people to the governor. II can
understand" said the Colonel, "the painful
memories and angry thoughts aroused by
such display as you report, but / cannot
permit my sentiments to overcome my iudg-
ment."
The flag still floats.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. July 14-According to
the testimony of those who witnessed the
storm yesterday. it first gathered in the vi
cinity Of Snail Lake, several miles to the
northwest of Lake Gervaiie and eight miles
from st. Paul. 1t proceeded slowly in a
general movement and first began its work
of destruction about three miles from the
Schurmeyer and Good cottages by demolish-
ing barn and several wind mills. After
this 1t seemed to bound into the air, striking
the earth again near the hamlet of Little
Canada where the first serious damage was
done. 1t again skipped for alspace Of about
mile and then lowered to the earth and re-
sumed its work of destruction, its fury cul-
minating near the shore Of Lake Gervaise,
where five deaths were caused. Once again
the storm seemed to rebound into the air to
regain the earth half a mile further on
where it ruined the Gaetzke home. Here its
force seemed spent and as it proceeded east
ward it assumed the nature Of high wind
accompanied by thunder storm. Hail as
large as medium-sized olives was one Of the
features. At White Bear, besides the Good
and Schurmeyer cottages three other cottag-
es were blown down. No estimate can be
made as yet of the amount OF damage done
to property.

Perry OF st. Paul, saw the wreck of the Sea
Wing on Lake Pepin and at once hastened to
the spot. Finding man standing near
boat on the shore, he asked to be taken out
into the storm to the overturning steamer
When refused. he threatened to kill the man
unless his order were obeyed. With the
help of his unwilling assistant, he saved the
lives of 15 or 16 women Adjutant General
Mullen says the man earned commission.
From early morning patrol row boats
were kept moving all over the neighborhood
of the wreck looking for bodies. Several
were found that way last night. A small
boy was found floating and yelling
three miles down the lake. Battery A, Of
st. Paul, kept up eannonading during the
day, trying to raise the bodies, but without
success. The little steam tug Wanderer,
tried unsuccessfully to pull the wreck apart.
Then the tug Ethel Howard came up river
and with the assistance of the Luella, pulled
part the frame of what had been the top of
the steamer. The Luella pulled the Sea

cabin doors. Believing still more bodies
were to be found in the half dismantled
wreck, Gen. Mullen ordered the tearing
away Of the upper works of the vessel and
the pushing of the wreck farther toward the
shore where she was righted.
