the presiding officer 50 far forget he
dignity OF the position he occupied as
10 descend to the lowest and most
rOwdyish behavior. During one of
the last days of the session the pre-.
siding officer seems 10 have been espe.
cially hilarious. 1t IS reported that
missiles were freely exchanged be.
tween the booty members, and this
official. not to be outdone. stood uI
on his desk with a pitche. Of ice-wata
in his hand with which he deluged all
within range regardless of position OF
sex. Several ladies in the lobby mar.
rowly escaped serious injury from the
chunks of lee. He finally ended the
jambOree by throwing a tumbler at

liers. The next time the people of
Wisconsin elect reform legislature
they will know what to expect.

of wind and a drenching rain, visited
this city late yesterday afternoon. A

great violences so suddenly that the oc-
cupants lost all control of the boats.
Four of them were capsized and the
crews barely escaped drowning. While
the storm struck the yachts with such
disastrous results it was spreading
death and destruction further down the
river. On lighter connected with the
work on the jetties several men were at
work A fash of lightning CLEANED for
a moment, closely follow ed by deafen-
ing crash of thunder, and five men were
stricken down in an instant. One of
them, William Wilson (white), was in
stanlly killed. Alex Pratt and w.
Sharpe. both white, and George Dixon,
cOlored. were also badly injured. The
latter will probably die.
