The Outlook in Brazil.

The dispatches from South America show
very clearly the danger that threatens the
existence of the great Brazilian republic. The
garrisons in Fort Villegagnon and all the
other forts in the harbor, except one, have re-
volted and joined Admiral Mello's forces.
The bombardment of the city has been sus-
pended. The damage from the Smelling by
the rebel fleet was much greater than was adj
mitted in the government, and foreign war
ships in the harbor had to interfere promptly
in order to protect property in The city. The

According to communication sent
to the Senate Saturday in response to
a resolution of that body, there has

since the passage of the law authorizing
the payment of the sugar bounty.
Such sugar is only made in northern
States.
It is feared that Notwithstanding the
necessity for the passage of the bill to
repeal the federal election law, the DEM
ocrats will be unable to muster quo
rum in the House tomorrow so as to
nut that bill where it can be considered.
It was reported at the Capitol o.dsy that
thu reason none of the Masonic lodges either
of this city or Alexandria took part in the
centennial ceremonies here was because Cath,
olics and dignitaries of the Catholic Church
were to be prominent therein. OF course
there was no truth in it. nor did any Catholic
Church disnitary have any part in the official
programme.

DALTON, O., Sept. 1S.-The inhabi-
tants of this place were at the mercy of
q daring gang of robbers Saturday
night. They were many in number
and Systematically plundered the town
and baflled all attempts at capture.
Scarcely house remains but what its
occupants can relate some thrilling ad-
venture which they had passed through.
The thieves scattered over the town,
one man as a rule going TO a house and
plundering it single-handed. The
towns Lawrence and Greenville were
similarly raided Saturday night.

Mr.. Henry Pearson has returned
from visit to the Worlds Fair.
Mr.. John Plaskett, jr., came home
from Washington on Thursday quite ill
with malaria fever.
Miss Mollie Denly is attending Mrs.
Euwing's school in Alexandria. She
will be much missed by her friends here
during the winter.
Mr.. J. William Claggett is making
extensive repairs on his house. We
understand some of his friends think he
is contemplating matrimony, but they
are probably mistaken.
Miss Annie Landstreet has gone on n
visit TO relatives in Winchester. She
expects to return home the end of this
week, when her friends will extend her
a most cordial welcome.
The funeral of Mr.. Joseph Wiley, a
resident Of Mason's Neck, took place
from Pohick Church lastWednesday. His
death resulted from congestive chill.
He had been employed on long boat
belonging to Mr.. Peter Hall, of Alex
andria.
Preparations are being made for re.
opening the schools in this neighbor-
hood the first week in October. Miss
Leila Milstead has been appointed
teacher at Potter's Hill school. Mr.
Henry at Accotink, with Miss Mamie
Wiley as assistant. Mr.. Dice has been
re-appoirted at Lorton Valley with
Miss Josephine Violet assistant, and
Miss Fanny Weldon at Franconia,
with Miss Nellie hewitt, Of Pohick, as
assistant.
The weather has been quite inau-
spicious for the Sunday school picnic
at Lewis Chapel. 1t was appointed for
Wednesday but was put off till Friday
on account of the rain. 1t Jared some
what better on Friday, still many were
kept from attending by the heavy storm
that evening. Those who attended en-
joyed themselves, and we hope the
Sunday school realized good sum
from the proceeds.
A meeting was held at Potter's Hill
school on Wednesday of last week for
the purpose of electing delegates to at
tend the county convention to be held
at the Court House on the 18th inst,
when the representative to the State
Legislature will be nominated. The
Hon. Richards Triplett, the present in
cumbent, has the support of this Sec
ton, and his friends hope he will Sc
cure the nomination.
Disgraceful scenes were enacted al
the colored bush meeting at Frauconia
two Sundays ago. 1t is hoped that the
members of the colored church will see
that order is preserved at such meet
ings in the future, or it will be neces-
sary for others to enforce respectable
observance of the Sunday laws. 1t is
understood that some arrests have
already been made for disorderly con-
duct. The offenders should suffer the
full penalty of the law.

night by Charles Allen, colore1, to as
sault a white woman named Shelton.
He burst in the door. but women in the
house fought him furiously with chairs,

him to desist and run of. He was cap
tured and landed in Jail. He struck one
of the women in the breast with chair,
and she is now in a dangerous condi-
ton.
Report of damage to property by the
recent storm and high water are still

house fioated five miles down the Rapi-
dan before it lodged on the bank. The
machinery of the Madison wooden mills
was badly damaged. The flood carried

A WATER SPoUT.-From Mr.. John
w. Goss we have learned of fearful
water.spout that rushed through Mr..
Salmon's mountain on Monday lass, to
which was due, doubtless, the terrific
rush of water that washed out the
railroads.
This spout fell on the slope of the
mountain, and swept away great trees,
rocks, &C. before it. In one place
there is hole cut by the spout which,
by actual measurement, is As feet long
by 80 feet broad, and feet deep, and
cut as smoothly as if it had been done
with pick and shovel. So neatly was
it cut out that the leaves lying along
its edges were not disturbed. In the
track of the spout one or two very
large trees were left standing, and
while on the ground at the foot ofthese
trees the leaves and earth were not dis
turbed, six or seven feet above the
ground the mud, leaves and grass ad-
herring to trunks and limbs indicate
that the water passed them at that
height from the ground. The roads in
that immediate vicinity are rendered
wholly impossible, in some place holes
6 and 7 feet deep appearing. The
spout cut swath through Mr.. Salmon's
sweeping everything before

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT Is, 1893

Mr.. BASIL GORDON will, it is under
stood. soon announce himself a candi-
date for the democratic congressional
nomination in the eth Virginia district.
Mr.. Gordon's efficient and effective SER
vices as chairman of the State demo-
cratic committee in the last two cam
paicns are recognized throughout the
State, and unquestionably en!.t!e him
to political preferment: and as neither
the national administration nor VIZ
rinia has rendered it, it dcyolves upon
the democrats of his own district to DO
so. Mr.. Gordon is eminently qualliled
for Il seat in Congress, and if the peo-
ple of the Charlottesville district shall
elect him, their action will be approved
bv those of all the other districts in the
State; and besides, they will pay polit-
ical debt and show that they at least,
like all other true-blue democrats, think
that political, like other work, is enti-
tied to recompense.
