New Bridges.

Mr.. EDIToR.--The citizens of Cecil coun-
ty can again congratulate themselvesin way
worthy of the genius and enterprise of our
County Commissioners, in the erection Of
another new bridge oyer Stone Run at
McKinsey's Mill. The abulments and
grading of the new road is already complet.
ed, and is awaiting the iron span, which
will be placed in position in short time
when the historic Stone Run will be spaned
by three new iron bridges.
The contract for the building OF the abut-
ments, and grading of the new road, was
awarded by the Commissioners to Levi o.
Cameron, very prominent contractor and
builder of the 9th Dist, and also an accom-
plished architectural designer and draughts-
man. Mr.. Cameron with the assistance OF
his master mechsnics Riley and Abrahams,
erected two as substantial abutments as there
is on the stream. Starting on a rock fonn-
dalton, as base, and using large derrick
to handle the heavy iron granite stone,
weighing from half to three tons, they
completed the masonry in mastery man.
mer, rejecting great credit upon the con-
tractor, as we'll as lasting gratitude TO the
people Of Cecil. The taxpayers Of Cecil
county never had so much work well done
for SO little amount of money expended,
and it remains question, from the cost of
the other bridges over the same run, by
those who are capable of judging. whether
Mr.. Cameron had sufficient to cover the
money expended. The people OF Cecil can
now visit their friends 10 Lancaster aud
Chester counties regardless of high water.

the evening was Prov. XVIII, 81: "If a

is called "Many Voices" and was compiled
by DIR. Talmage himself. The general
character of the hymns are similar TO those
above mentioned. They are such as are
popular and inspiring. The music Of FIVE
thousand voices we heard there, led by the
cornet and that monster organ, which allow
ed no discord to disturb, exceeded any song
service we ever enjoyed.
AT the close of every service DIR. Talmage
announces the pastor will hold his usual
pastoral reception immediately at the close
Of service at the left of the platform. This
he announces Is his custom because. as he
states, 1t is impossible for HIM TO visit such
large congregation (his membership is
about 4500) or meet them in any other way.
Members and visitors are all cordially in
vited. He takes each by the hand and TO
many has pleasant word to say. We took
note at the morning reception and found that
on an average % persons passed by each min.
ute. The reception lasts 80 minutes, hence
some waited that long. He shook hands with
one thousand persons during that time.
The handshaking occupied more time than
the preaching.

Everything in the Shape of Uncut
Grain in It's Path Destroyed.
LAKE BENTON, Aug. 14.-This place
was visited by tho most destructive hail
storm yesterday that was ever known in
this vicinity. Nearly every pane of glass
on the north and west sides of buildings
was broken. In the country everything
in the shape Of uncut grain in the path of
the storm was annihilated
A terrific hailstorm passed over Fulda.
MINI. The hail was very large and
poured down for half an hour, breaking
hundreds of windows and stripping the
leaves and small branches from the trees.
The farmers report the corn and flax
badly damaged. Most OF the wheat, oats
and barley had been cut. What was
standing will not produce one-third of a
crop.
At Ellsworth, Mimi, q terrific wind
storm struck the town and left it pretty
complete wreck. A dark cloud, with Il
greerish tint along its edges, came swirl
ing in from the northwest and crushed
nearly everything in its path. The Iowa.
Minnesota and Dakota elevator was COM
pletely blown to pieces. The Congrega-
ti0nal Church was partly blown down.
The dwelling of d. +. Kramer was
thrown from its foundation, and the Bur-
lington depot suffered great damage.
Several box cars were hurled from the
track like so much kindling wood, but
fortunately no lives were lost. There is
no building in the village that was not
hit by the storm and blown away or
damaged. The loss will reach 81, 900.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14.-Intormation has
just reached this city of a disastrous
cloudburst at Campo, this county, on
Wednesday. The town is situated at the
mouth of a ravine, and torrent of water
came down on the town, washing away
everything that could be moved and de-
stroying many head of livestock. No
Lives were lost
The information regarding the cloud
burst at Campo was brought in by the
driver Of the stage running from this
point to Campo. He says that two heavily
laden clouds came in collision above the
mountains west of Campo, and their con-
tents were sent down in a deluge.
The waters came down the ravine in a
torrent from fifteen to twenty feet deep,
and swept over Campo without a mo-
ment's warning.
Campo is a small place, with not over
eight houses, but with one exception
every one of these was swept away, and
It is remarkable that no lives were:lost.
N estimate can be given of the losses,
but they will not be heavy.
HEAVY STORM IN SAN BERNARDINO.
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 14-A heavy
storm ragged for many hours in the
mountains east Of the city this afternoon
A strong wind came up from the east,
filling the valley with dust, so that the
landscape was scarcely visible. Soon af-
ter rain commenced to fall at RedIands,
and soon the streets were running with
water. Probably nearly half an inch
fell. The wind shifted again and the rain
stopped.
A branch of the storm followed around
the mountains, and it rained heavily
northwest of this city. No damage was
done. The weather is hot and suItry.

Suit to Determine the Validity of the
Chinese Registration Law.
SAN Francisco, Aug. IA few days
ago a suit for $4,000 damages against the
Southern Pacific Company was brought
by Thomas d. Riordan, attorney for the
Chinese Consulate in this city, acting in
the name of Gee Chong Tone The suit
was based on the fact that the Southern
Pacific Company, through an agent, re-
fused to sell railroad ticket from San
Francisco to Sacramento TO Gee Chong
Tone. The purpose of the suit is to at
tack and test the Chinese registration law
passed by the California Legislature in
Its last session.
An answer has just been filed by the
southern Pacific Company in which it is
admitted that the company refused to sell
the ticket to Gee Chong Tone as alleged,
ana also refused to carry the said plaint-
iif but ''avers that such refusal was be-
cause pimnutt Is Chinese person, and

cession from the Chinese Government for
the establishment Of great international
bank. and who narrowly escaped a bullet
from pistol in the hands of Beverly c.

PoRT-AU-PRINCE, Aug. 14.-The entire
Haytian Cabinet has resigned, but Presi-
dent Hippolyte has not yet accepted their
designations. The cause for this sudden
occurrence is that the members of the
Ministry feel themselves insulted by the
Deputies Of the National Chamber re-
fusing to indorse the Ministry's action
granting concession for the construc-
ton of telegraph line. No political
meaning is attached to their designations.
nor is any trouble likely to arise there
from. Affairs have become more tran
quill.
The debate in the Chamber was a
stormy one. Members ofthat body openly
charged the Cabinet Ministers with cor
ruption and incapacity, which caused one
OF the widest scenes in the Chamber that
any one can remember. The Ministers
were vigorously defended and their oppo-
nents as vigorously denounced, but a for
mai vote OF censure for incapacity and
corruption was carried amid storms of
cheers.
The President said tonight: "The
situation is q difficult one. / DO not now
know how we shall meet it. No one can
tell yo! that, but l fear there is trouble
ahead that will be difficult to overcome" :"
Many consultations are being held to-
night, and men anxious about the future
are making every effort to restore quiet

CHICAGO, Aug. I4.-Contrarv to ren-
eral expectation, the local directory of
the worlds Fair, at a meeting tonight,

developed to both gentlemen, and the
ultimate fate of the nominations is un-

The directory made important changes
IN some of the State sites, and all are
permanently settled except Iowa and
South Carolina, which will be acted
upon later. Among other changes the
triangular plot which had been assigned
to Indiana, Michigan and Ohio will be
divided into quarters. Indiana gets the
southern portion, Wisconsin the north

set about organizing new syndicate,

he got Ernest Bacaud, editor of the

which the Government paid him in sub

Bacaud 100000, retaining only $50, 600.
The statement created sensation.
