sufferers From Floods.

ST. LOUIS, July ia letter from
Jonesboro, La, says: Thousands of the
farmers have had their crops completely
ruined, stock drowned, homes washed
away, and, in many cases, lives lost by
the recent heavy floods. Hundreds OF
families on the Little Tensas and Black
Rivers do not know where their next
meal is coming from and have no means
of obtaining it until the water abates. 1t
may be Christian act for the people OF
the United States TO contribute to the
starving people of Russia, but we cannot
look upon it in that light when thousands
of our own cOuntrymen are actually
starving for the bare necessities of life.''

not acquaint the patient with his danger
until very recently. Mr.. Curtis has been
confined to his home for several weeks,
but his illness has not prevented him

locked-out men were willing to accept
the terms of the company and return to
work if they could be protected in doing
so. 1t would be necessary. however, to
secure additional outside non-union help.
He thought it would not be long before
the entire plant would be in operation.

place on the calendar, Notwithstanding
the vote to make it unfinished business.
Voorhees, offered resolution declaring
that in all disagreements and controver-
sizes between employers and employees
the principles of arbitration should be
put into practice for a settlement of the
difficulties. The refusal to arbitrate and
the resort to violence for solution of
difficulties are methods inconsistent with
the principles and existence OF q free
government, and instructed the Com
mittee on Education and Labor to in
quire into the eXpediency and propriety
Of preparing and reporting to the Senate
bill making provision for Commits
sion of Labor in accordance with the
special message and recommendations of
President Cleveland on April y, 1856.
The message was read, and at the request
of Hale laid over until tomorrow, as he

tration was not provided for in the Act Of
October l, 1886.

A PRIVATE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

w. ID. Bolton, private of Company G.,
Fifteenth Regiment, was one of the de-
tail to put the mill pumps to work to
supply the camps with water, and while
working above the furnace in the pump
house a rush of burning natural gas flew
into his face, scorching and burning him
seriously, if not dangerously. He was
carried TO camp and made as comfortable
as possible.
MILLS TO BE MANNED.
A story was put in circulation that
the Sheriff proposes to arrest Hugh
O'Donnell and half dozen other leaders
OF the locked-out men. There is no
authority for the rumor given, and
friends of the Sheriff say it is not true.
1t is also said that early tomorrow morn
ing movement will be made towards
manning the mill. Mr.. Childs and Man
ager Potter had a long conference with
the Sheriff this afternoon, but neither of
the three will say anything about the
result Of the deliberations.
SALOONS Do a THRIVING BUSINESS.
The saloons have done Il thriving bust
ness all day, many WOrkingmen, Tor the
first time since the battle Wednesday,
drinking heavily. There were between
two or three fights, some of them serious,
and great deal of wild talk. Where it
became evident that the soldiers were
drinking, patrols were detailed to arrest
them, and in short time nearly all the
militia men were back in camp.
The evening closed more quietly than
anyone had any right to expect, and
while the streets were still full at 10
o'clock, the crowd was drifting home
ward
The arrangements for tomorrow con-
tanned only one comment. General Snow
den has ordered that a whole battalion
shall be assigned to patrol duty at one
time, and consequently the town will be
very thoroughly policed. The strikers
believe this order was issued in order to
cover the Sheriff in the introduction of
non-union men into the works, but this
IS mere conjecture.
