I. w. Davenport has prepared statis-
ties of Marion connly showing that OF
100 square miles taken as original don.
alton Gains including the capitol OF the
state, 60 per cent has passed out OF the
possession OF the donees aud their de-
scendants. Another l5 per cent is mort
gagged for all it is worth, and practical
ly lost to the family of the original claim
ant. Mr.. Davenport finds that not more
than 10 per cent OF the whole have been
successful in holding all or part OF their
claims. Only 5 per cent have increased
their holdings and are considered thrifty.

THuRSDAY
EVANGELICAL CONFERENCE.

The Oregon Conference OF the Evan
gellcal church convened in Albany this
morning at O'Clock with Bishop Thes.
Bowman in the chair. The DEMocRAT
man remembers well the conference held
in this city several years ago over part of

the proceedings:
The members of the Oregon Confer
ence OF the Evangelical Association as

this city this morning, to hold their 18th
annual session.
As Bishop Tnos. Bowman, of Chicago :,
Ill.,, entered the church hundreds of
voices feelingly greeted the Bishop by
singing 'Blest be the tie that 2iads. -
His previous visit to this place was
marred by the chism and dissension then
existing, and was yisibly touched by the
affectienate welcome given.
The Bishop opened the conference
with communion service which was

spiritual power. After the communion
service the Bishop gave very interest

Considerable Damage to Property at
Various Points Reported.
NEW YORK, March 2.-The warm,
almost continuous rain of the past two
days throughout New York state
served to bring the frost out of the
ground, break up the ice in the Hudson
and smaller streams and do consider
able damage to property by flooding
cellars and carrying away bridges.
Traffic ON many railroads has been Sc.
riously delayed by washouts and in a
number of cities street Car service has
been entirely suspended on account Of
high water. At Saratoga cellars were
filed with water and the streets badly
flooded. Three dams at .Schuylerville
and all the bridges between Ballston
Spa and Rock City Falls were carried
away. At Whitehall the water in
Wood creek is higher than it has been
for the past 30 years. The large fume
of the Champlain silk mills has been
swept away and over 800 men will be
thrown out of work until the damage
can be repaired.
