Commissioners Tuesday Evening.

Contrary to expectations delegation of
the Morocco Manufacturers Association

ing of the Board OF Water Commissioners
tuesday night TO oppose a proposition 10
place meters in morocco factories as
contemplated by the board. The matter
was called up by President William T.
Porter, who stated that it was time some
definite action was taken in the matter.
Inc board would have to place the meters
IN the morocco factories, Mr.. Porter said,
and the matter might us well be attended
TO now If practicable.
Mr.. Pickles asked that the matter 20
over for one week. He had talked with
some of the manufacturers about the
matter and he thought the subject could be
safely postponed one week. He desired to
inform the board privately his reasons for
making this motion.
What good. will it do TO postpone the
Natter asked Mr.. Porter. 1.-The time has
come when we will have to do something
in relation TO the waste of water"
Mr.. Pickels-"I'll satisfy you after we
adjourn what good it will do to put the
matter off one week, Mr.. Porter"
II have no special objection to post
ponement," returned MIR. Porter. 1--WE
don't want to run any manufacturers out
OF town, far from it; but We do want to
avoid this needless waste OF water.'
Mr.. Porter stated that during the week
he had been requested by morocco manr,-
facturer TO postpone the work of placing
meter in certain factory for the present
time. He, Mr.. Porter, had taken the lib
erty to stop work on the meter and now it
was time for the board to determine what
course to pursue in the future.
by common consent the matter was post
poned for one week,

Inquiries Answered in Regard to the WAL
ton a. Whann Company--Large Sales OF
the New Stock.
4 representative of TIE GAZETTE
called at the Office of Elliott, Johnson 4
Co., yesterday, to hear something in
regard to the progress of the new Walton
Whann Company stock sales
"How are the subscriptions to the new
company coming in p the reporter asked.
Very nicely, indeed" was the reply.
I'VE have received absolute subscriptions
Tor great portion of the offering, and also
many persons have signified their inten-
t1on to subscribe as soon as they have
realized funds from securities they are
now cndcavoring to dispose of for that
purpose"
4 have heard that subscriptions are
coming in well, but what about that
matter of officials salaries. A numbe of
people who seem disposed to buy Walton
d. Whann preferred stock fear that tho
officials have it in their power TO cause
thelr salaries to be raised and gradually to
such large proportions that it would make
a big hole in the dividend harvest. They
are afraid Of this and are inquiring what
protection they have under the incorpora-
ton charter"
THAT is nonsense The actual facts are
that the bylaws state the salaries and pro-
vide that they cannot be increased except
through affirmative vote of two-thirds
majority of the holders of preferred stock,
that is, the new stockholders. There seem
to be a good many points that people do
not understand
Such as whatY'
well, We. are salways glad to answer
questions and are satisfied If persons will
come to us for further data. For instance,
We have heard the objection to this Walton
& Whann preferred took that il it be SO
good why do not Messrs. Walton and Buck
take it all. Well, they cannot own every
thing and we can fully and satisfactorily
explain personally why the stock is being
offered. We only want people to call and

ii HARRISBURG, Pa, April l3.-Thc Demo-
cratic state convention was raped to order
by Chairman Wright at 12.l0 O'Clock this
afternoon, and the business was formally
begun by the reading of the call for the
convention issued January Both. The
calling Of the roll of delegates occupied IS
minutes, many substitutions being made.
John Il. Read of Philadelphia nomi-
mated Congressman Beltzhoover for tenn
porary chairman and he was elected unan-
imously.
:: Congressman Beltzhooyer, in opening
the convention, declared that the Demo-
cratic party was confronted on the thresh-
old of the great economic battle of the
present year with the most glaring viola
tons of the constitutional power Of taxa
ton that ever occurred in history. Not
only were the people robbed of countless
millions under the Mckinley Tariff law,
but they were the victims of a conspiracy
between the sordid silver kings Of the
west, under which the product OF their ex-
haustless mines is bought up with money
taken from the people by taxation.
AT 2.5O the convention took recess.

VICTIMS oE THE FLOODS.
Slxty-one Dead Bodies Recovered
In Northern Mississippi.

Twelve Hundred People Homeless, and
Over S@,OO0,O0o Worth of Property De-
stroyed - Houses and Dead Bodies
Floating on the Water.
NASHVILLE, TENN, April 1.-THE posi-
Bile loss of life across the Mississippi state
line grows more appalling and the death
llst IS constantly increasing. The water
now is over the land for 10 miles south of
here. Scores of houses, bodies of men,
women and children, together with those
OF dumb beasts are floating on the muddy
waters. Over 1900 people are homeless.
The Hood is caused by the sudden rising Of
10 rivers which form network over North
Mississippi. Rats, small boots and canoes
were built by the score and stocked with
provisions. Daring rescuers have started
out to carry aid to the sufferers. One
raftsman rowed SO miles last night with o6
bodies piled upon his raft with no light
put an oil lantern to guide him. Every
hour or so boatman or raftsman comes
INTO one of the many landings with one to
10 bodies, swollen, discolored and some of
them beginning to decay. Sixty-one bodies
OF beth sexes have been recovered thus
FAR. The flood is beginning to recede
slowly. 1t is estimated that the damage
will amount over 1000, 900.
The citizens of Loundes county, Miss,
have petitioned Congressman Alien, their
representative, to ask the government for
aid, as their own means are inadequate to
the needs Of the homeless people.
Losses of live stock and crops are beyond
computation ut present, but will be enor-
nous. Meagre details only are obtainable
as communication is cut off from the
flooded section.
ABERDEEN, S. D., April 12.-Rain has
been steadily falling since early morning,
with prospects of continuing. No seeding

has been washed away, and expensive inn
provements at Hekla and at other points
are in great and immediate danger The
James river has not been on such Il ram
page for years, and thousands of acres of
bottom lands are under foot or more
water. All old lake beds, sloughs, drains.
&C., are full. Lakes around Ipswich have
us much as 10 feet of water in Them.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April ia special
to the Times from Birmingham reports
continued rising of the Tombigbee river.
Hundreds of acres of lowlands In Green,
Plckens and Sumpter counties, Ala, are

Reports Of high water in Chattanooga's
immediate section have been grossly ex-
aggerated. The recent freshet, which is
dignified even by that name. did no dam
age here, and railway traffic was but little
delayed.
