bishop takes the floor hope that Bishop

DR.. Buckley argued vehemently for his
motion. There were two diseases. he said,
that were brought out in a General Con
ference. One was bishophobia, a sort Of
unnatural fear of bishops, the other was
bishopmania laughter and applausel. an
intense desire to be elected 10 the epis-
copaey. He hoped that neither Of these
would SO warp the minds Of the brethren
that they would not have confidence in the
impartiality Of the bishops to such an
extent as TO exclude them from the floor.
II was sad state Of things II the church
had come to such state that the supreme
officers Of the denomination could not be
given free opportunity to speak in the con-

pended at this point 70 hear the report Of

on sunday then the conference was asked
to oppose the appropriation. The com

an awful calamity, for its situation is such
that i is utterly impossible to close any

The river is tremendously high at pres

will pour into the country from the river
TO the gulf.
The damage will be enormous, and in
the neighborhood Of eight or nine millions
of dollars. The Teche country, the best
sugar lands in the south, will be utterly
destroyed.
The last time this levce broke. in 1890,
the waters were subsldlng and were luckily
low. The water remained on the lands,
however, for several months.
Thirteen parishes will suffer and there
can be no crops this year. No particulars
have vet been received. Great fears are
entertained for the towns and villages in
the line Of the flood, The greatest excite

who honor, trust and admire him
for the courage and persisteucy
with which he has, under any

position with regard to his political
principles. He has not only defended,
he has aggressively urged his unalter-
able views upon the subject Of honest
money by strenuously opposing the
free silver fallacy, and in respect Of
tariff reform. Under his candidacy,
upon the financial plank Of the Wis
consin Democratic platform, it is be.
lieved by the shrewdest and most trust
worthy leaders Of his party, he could be
elected President. Upon no other kind
of financial plank, upon no obscure,
indecisive one, could or would Mr..
Cleveland consent TO lead his party in a
national campaign; and, should the
Chicago convention adopt one favor

BUSY BURGLARS AT NEWARK.
They Broke Into Five Places and Made
Attempts at Four others--yery Little
Plumber Secured.


On Sunday night gang Of industrious
burglars visited the town Of Newark and
succeeded in effecting an entrance into the
following places
The Deer Park Hotel, kept by John Z.
Lewis.
The harness store OF John Pennington.
The general store of Nathan Motherall.
The office Of Wright Il SONS, coal and
lumber dealers
The Newark Centre station of the Penn
syiyania railroad.
In addition, the industrious gang made
unsuccessful attempts upon the following
places
The nour and feed store Of William
Barton.
The drug store Of DR.. j. g. Butler.
The general store of Singles d Neilds,
The results indicate that the burglars
were after money, as nothing else was dis
turbed at any of the places visited, except
some liquor at the hotel. The money haul
was not very profitable one, however,
and comprised only some loose change at
. few Of the places, amounting to about
IS, all told.
Entrance in each case was effected BY
forcing open doors with a jimmy. The
nurglaries are supposed to have been the
work Of tramps although there are no
clues.
