EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY RAIN.
Farms About SyIvania Much Damag-
ed Thereby

Sylvania, Ga, April 3.-The rain which
fell here Wednesday night was the heav-
lest and most damaging known in years.
1t is doubtful if there has ever been such
a hard rain in this county before. 1t was
more like a cloud-burst than rain, and
in few minutes after it began, the whole
face of the earth was flooded. The newly
planted fields were laid waste, seed and
fertilizers both being washed into the
branches and valleys. Even the terraced
fields could not Withstand the fury of the
waters. and many of the terraces were
torn to pieces and carried away. The dam
age TO the farmers is incalculable, partic-
ularly in the loss of the fertilizers that
had been put into the ground. From all
over the county come the same doleful re-
ports, and the farmers wear a decidedly
blue aspect.

Affairs OF Col. Carpenter.

The dispatches sent out from Pierre con-
corning the affairs of Col. Carpenter of
Watcrtown, quartcrmaSter general of
South Dakota, appear To have bcen mixed
and to have done MIR. Carpenter an injus-
tice. There has been no protest from Col.
Carpenter or his bondsmcn To the proposed
legislation aboliShing the office or remov-
ing the officer. Col. Carpenters friends are
indignant and declare lie has been a careful
and efficient officer: that he has not been
an %extrayagant OF highl. paid officer his
report shows. and that taking rare of $780,
600 worth of property throughout the state
and receiving about $500 Il year is not
a very high salary, but exceedingly
low. As to Col. Carpenters letter TO Gov.
Lee, the Pierre correspondents have stated
something which is not true, because no
such letter has been written by Col.
Carpenter. AS to the bonds he has taken
as quartermaster, it is declared they are
now and were all good and sufficient in
every respect al the time of taking and ap-
prevail. The quartcrmaster general holds
bonds from every person having govern
ment stores in his charge. and every item
not issued in compliance With law he can
account for.

Money Encctuaux Hiddcn.

Where did Paul Narcclle bury his money :.
From all accounts he died worth from $.5.-
600 to S50,ON. Narcelle was the first white
settler in South Dakota. He came to the
territory in lS4O as an employee of the IIud-
son Bay Company, married "a squaw and
settled on the Cheyenne River, fifty miles
from Pierre. He lived there until his
death. His custom of cacheing his money
where no one but himself could find it was
known for years and caused his N Mar
cisse and Ed, the keenest annoyance. The
old nan refused TO bank it, however, and
invariably succeeded in eluding his u
suers whenever an attempt was made to
follow him to any of his various places of
concealment. His farm will he thoroughly
dug over, but with small hope that more
than a fraction of his large fortune will
ever be located.

Defective MICHIGAN Law.

Since the formal announcement i'm col,
grcss of the result of the electoral vote it
has been made known that the Michigan
electoral vote has all along been in danger
of being declared void. The act passed by
the last Legislature, which prescribcs the
duties of county canvasscrs, makes no pro-
vision for canvassins the vote east for pres
idential electors, although it repeats all
other laws on the subject. The few otli-
cials and others whose attention was
drawn 10 this situation last summer, all of
whom are Republicans, kept it very quiet,
although the possibility that the vote of
Michigan might be required to settle the
question caused considerable nervousness
for IL time,
