Two Ailisnse Tickets Probable.

ST.. PAUL, July 3.--Senator John B.
Hompe, Of Otter Tail county, was in ST.
Paul, and when asked whether there
was likely to be any trouble between the
Donnelly wing and the present Alliance
party central committee over the organ
ization Of the new party, he said:
There is this much about it. If the
Alliance central committee is not given
Q large share Of the representation on
the new committee, there will be two
independent parties in the field next
year and we don't propose that Donnelly
will be on top.

Il Farm Hand Killed and Robbed Of HE
Savings, Over S1.10o.
CHICAGO, July 8. The remains of the
man supposed at first to have been those
of tramp. which Farmer Burlingame
found Tuesday on his place near Pala-
tine, were positively identified the next
morning as those OF Jacob Popp, who
was well known in the neighborhood.
Popp, who was a bachelor 81 years of
age. worked for over year on Mr..
Crafts farm. On May 10 he left for the
city. He was paid $500 which was due
him, and taking nearly $500 which he
had saved up, he left the place on foot.
No money was found in his clothes. The
result Of the coroner's inquest showed
unmistakahly that Popp had been mur-
dered, as it was found that the skull
had been fractured in two places. The
jury decided SO much, but they could
not fix the identity Of the murderer or
murderers.

HERMosA, s. D., July 3.-Lignite coal
has been discovered south of here four
miles. On the surface Of the hillside
the vein was only about q inches wide.
Men were set at work drifting = on the
vein, and now at depth of Is feet the
vein Is 20 inches thick. The vein dips
at an angle Of about 45 degrees, and coal
miners say the prospect is frst-class.
The coal burns freely, and indeed the
indications could not be more favorable
for big coal mine.

European Flood Damages Enormous.
LONDON, July 3.-A Berlin dispatch
says that the damage wrought in Ger.
many by the floods is far greater than
was originally supposed. The cost Of
the destruction Is difficult to estimate
but it will certainly take years to re.
store entirely the devastated places. In
Silicia and Westphalia the storm wal
also appalling. As q result of The
storm, in connection with the Italian
earthquakes, there is strong feeline
among the superstitious that something
terrible is pending over Europe, ane
some go as far even as to say the end oi
the world is approaching.

GROUNDED AT L0GsTOWN.
TWO BOATS WITH T0ws STRANDED
By THE Low WATER.

About 100000 Bushels Of Coal sunk-The
Loss Falls on John A. Wood and Man
nette q Co.-Boats Ordered BACK and
Some Land Below the Dam.
About 100000 bushels of coal were sunk at
Logstown last evening owing to the low
water The loss will fall heaviest on John
a. W ood, who had five coal boats towed
by the Jim Wood grounded The Ark with
o full tow of eight barges for Mannette
q Co., of Cincinnati met the snme fate. Both
boats were stranded: at this point, and the
tows immediately filled with water Coal at
Cincinnati is worth 10 cents per bushel, and
If the loss were a total one about 5000
would be dropped. 1t is expected that some
Of the coal can be recovered, but the real
loss will be considerable. The water in the
dam was over feet, and Captain Wood
tried to get the authorities in charge to
lower the wickets, but they refused.
The fall to Logstown from the dam is %
inches and 1t Is claimed that If the wickets
had been lowered it would have made a
stage of seven feet and the grounding of the
boats would never have happened. The
river men were very angry about It and at
least % of them at the Monongahela House
last evening expressed the above opinion.
In addition the Josh Cook, B. D. Wood,
the Blackburn, for Blackburn & Co., and the
Cruiser, for w. III. Brown Sons, with full
tows, passed through the lock. AS soon as
tnelr o"hers nearu OF the accident TO tpe
other two boats they were ordered to land,
and are now anchored in the pool above
Logstown, where they are liable TO stay for
awhile, rs the river is falling. The Jim
Brown, Yoyager, S. L. Wood, Dave Wood,
De Bus, j. A Blackburn, Crescent, Daunt-
less, Charlie Clark and Time were turned
back, and are now lying in the dam. These
boats were waiting their turn to go out, and
were caught in time to save further loss.
About 10000, 900 bushels of coal, 1t is estima-
ted, were in the harbor ready to be taken
down the river when the rise came. The
river men are much disappointed, and from
present indications all their preparations
have been in vain. The situation provokes
considerable ill-feeling. The Jim Gilmore,
Sam and Charley Brown, with tows, are tied
up at Jacks Run,

Books in the Hands Of the Treasurer, VINO Will
Receive the Tax at Once.

The City Treasurer yesterday received the
books for the annual business tax assess
ment from the Board of Assessors. The tax
can be paid at once. Tho assessment this
year will yield s2sa,o7s 96. Last,ycar it was
s257,36s 50, making the increase s24,7l6 63,
or an increase over last years ad-
vance on the year before OF
S6,979 81 The Finance Committee in
making mp the appropriation ordinance for
this year estimated only s255,000 to be re-
ceived from this tax. The increase this year
is, to n certain degree, credited to the in
creased number of saloons, as they are taxed
l6 mills on the dollar, while other branches
of business, excepting brokerage firms or
institutions and pool or billiard establish
ments, only pay mill.
Below are given the figures in the various
wards in all cases where the assessment was

PREVENTED THE TRIAL.
The Thomson-Houston Oficials Oppose q
Test of Westinghouse Motors.

The Thomson-HoustonO Oficials Oppose q
Test of Westinghouse Motors.
The Thomson-Houston people whose
motors are used on the Duquesne road, are
evidently determined that no other motor
shall have a chance as long as their 30day
agreement with the company lasts. In view
of the inability of the Duquesne cars to make
time with the Fifth avenue vehicles, an ar
rangement was made with the Second ave
nue. people to run one of their cars over the
Duquesne tracks for the purpose of demon
strating that the distance could be ac-
complished in the time.
With this view an attempt was made last
night at O'Clock to transfer Second avenue
car to the Duquesne tracks at the corner of
Wood and Fourth avenue, but the Thomson
Houston people appeared in force and pre-
vented the trial. The only reason assigned
for this is that the Second avenue cars are
armed with Westinghouse motors, and the
Thomson-H Houston people were afraid of
being outclassed, though Senator Finn and
the managers had given the Westinghouse
officials permission to make the trial. This
motor is regarded to be superior to any in
use.

Thomas Rees, James A. Henderson and John

last evening to fight the wharf bill before

added that he had no doubt that the Cover
he was not sure what ne would do with the
amended measure.
Captain Henderson claimed the river men
hadn't enough wharf room now, and there is
q continual scramble among them for space
He said $4,000 900 was invested in the river
business, and the interests were too great
to be fnterfered with without a struggle.

SWITCHING FROM STREET CARS.

Captain Cutter Has Invented Device for
Efecting This Purpose.
Captain NJ. A. Cutter, of the Canton Mallea-
BILE Iron and Manufacturing Company, has
invented device for assisting the operation
of street cars, which he claims will prevent
many accidents and dispense with switch
men. The device is fixed to the front plat
form, and is for the purpose of opening and
closing switches without stopping the car
This is accomplished by means of a lever
within easy reach of the motorman. Re-
garding this Captain Cutter said yesterday:
"The device leaves the conductor at lib
erty to look after the passengers, the motor
man need not stop his car, nor need a
switchman be employed. I believe it will
greatly assist the handling of the cars and
will certainly prevent accidents from cars
jumping the track. Everything that tends to
make rapid transit safer is good thing for
the public"

I,ytery, the second the presentation of the

AllisUor's action yesterday.
The motion to adjourn was finally gotten
before the house and carried, and there was
a general impression that the war would
grow hotter from day to day The liberal
portion, though in minority, are unquench
able, apparently, and If any one supposes
shat Dr.. McAliister is about to throw up the
sponge, he will be very likely dispossessed of
that when the doctor gets up and shakes
himself The fight seems TO have the effect
