1t is a common maxim that history

ticism that We think are hidden deep

sibly to bear fruit in our sons and

reap" This makes life a problem OF
tremendous Importance. But the fact
that what We sow others may reap,
complicates our responsibilities, and
makes US not only the arbiter of our
own destinies. but the prophets, for
veal or for woe. Of those who come
after us. The science OF life should be
taught in our public schools.

St. Paul, Mimi, Oct. ga telegram
from Attorney General Mckenna this
afternoon notified the attorneys for the
government in the Union Pacific rail-
way case that the sale could proceed as
! originally planned, arrangements nav
ing been made with the reorganization
committee that guaranteed to the gov
ernmcnt its full lien on the property :.
General John C. Gown OF Omaha and
Ex-Governor George +. Hoadley of New
York were in the city to press the mo
ton for six weeks postponement' no
tice of which had been given yesterday
by General Gown. However this art
ernoon came the telegram from the at
torney general ordering the withdrawal
of the motion for p0stponement. This
telegram was presented to Judge San
born of the United States circuit court,
and the notice of the motion to post
pone was withdrawn. BY stipulation
the sale of the Kansas division was set
for December II. but the main line Will

Washington. Oct. 26.-Although the
government officials decline either to
affirm or deny the report of its accept
ance Of the new proposition of the re-
organization committee of the Union
Pacific railroad. there Is no reasonable
doubt of its accuracy. This proposition
is understood to he an increase of the
original guarantee bid of $5O,OOOOO to
sum sufficient to cover the full
amount of the governments claim
against the Union Pacific road proper,
which ON October aggregated S5S. Co.,
39S. This includes the principal of the
debt. which amounts 10 S2I .236.512,
and the balance of the interest paid by
the United States, amounting To $50
$50. SS6. This represents the full amount
of the Union Pacifics obligations TO the
government. The sale of this line will
be proceeded with. aS originally In
tended. about November 1.
As TO the Kansas Pacific road. the
committee withdraws its guarantee and
consents to Il postp0nement OF the sale
to any date to suit the convenience of
the government. This action, it is un-
derStooi, leaves the government in the
same position with respect to the Kan
sas Pacific rs before the negotiations
We're instituted. and in this situation
the government may. If it desires. post
pone the sale indefinitely. The debt of
the Kansas Pacific to the government
aggregates nearly S13.O00.OoO. of which

will he raised by the reorganizat ton
committee. The net result of the new
arrangement. so far as concerns the
Union Pacific. Is regarded by the off,
cials as highly advantageous to the gov
ernment. as 1t secures all that 1t has
ever claimed To I've due 1t. and renders
it practically certain that a very large
share Of the debt OF the Kansas Pa
cific will he realized whenever It may

NO LOSS OF LIFE,

by lightning and instantly killed, while his
sweetheart, who stood near, was badly
shocked The Mahoning river rose two feet
in an hour and washed away several
bridges. Crab creek, an insignificant
stream, rose fifteen feet in an incredible
short space of time, doing great damage in
the lower portions of the city. Houses
We're washed from their foundations and
men, women and children were rescued
from second-story windows, a bath tub
being used in lieu of a better craft. Squaw
Creek Park. a pleasure resort near this
city, was practically wiped out of exist
ence. Trains are beginning to move after
twelve hours delay. 1t is estimat ted that
the loss in this city alone will approach
100000 The storm was local and in many
pie being given little warning
A great loss of life was narrowly aVerted
at the Spring Common foot bridge. Men
women and children insisted remaining
to watch the angry waters below in spite
OF the fact that the structure was unsafe.
FINALLY two policemen with drawn clubs
cleared the bridge, and none too soon, for

Prominent Part.
Bridgeport Comm Standard.


To veterans of the Seventeenth Regiment
Connecticut Volunteers, and in fact to
many of the boys who participated in the
memorable battle of Gettysburg, the news
that Milton H. Daniels, of Indianapolis,
Ind, is visiting Patrick Wade, of this city,
for few days will recall one of the most
thrilling incidents attending the retreat of
Gen. Robert E. Lee from the North. These
two gentlemen, both members of the Seven
teenth, were in command of the party
which discovered the flight of the great Con-
federate leader and communicated the news
to the waiting and anxious army almost
exhausted by the strain of the fearful bat
tie waged only a short time previous.
Upon the morning of July 4, 1863, the first
thing desired by the Union commander,
General Meade, was to learn the exact loca-
ton of his opponent. After Pickett's great
charge upon the preceding evening the
Confederate forces had retired and but little
information regarding their late move
men from the Seventeenth Regiment, then
in the corps commanded by Gen o. O. How
ard, was detailed to reconnoiter, and set
out about a quarter before in command
of Captain Daniels, at that time a lieu
tenant in Company G.
The morning mist was heavy and made
the work dOubly dangerous, but they eau
tiously advanced and found upon entering
the town of Gettysburg that the rebel
forces had withdrawn in such haste as to
leave behind picket party of five, all the
members of which were taken prisoners.
Continuing the work the skirmish party
took entire possession of the town and cap
effected the release of Union comrades
who had been made prisoners early in the
battle. One of these, William Writ now
a resident of this city, was taking care of
the wounded prisoners in the Gettysburg
poorhouse, which had been converted into a
hospital.
ed the party sent up a cheer which was
carried back to the Union lines, giving the
boys in blue the first knowledge of Lee
retreat and announcing the winning of the
battle of Gettysburg Immediately Ames S
Brigade, of which the Seventeenth was a
portion, was sent to the support of the
skirmishing force, charging into the town,
which was thoroughly occupied.
1t was not until two years ago last Dec
Grafton day that General Howard to whose
corps the skirmiSh party was attached,
learned upon visit to this city that it's
members were all taken from the Seven
teenth Connecticut.
The present visit of Mr.. Daniels to this
city marks the second meeting between him
and Mr.. Wade in thirtyfive years

Railways Suffered.

PITTSBURG, July 23.-All the railroads
centering in Pittsburg suffered from the
great storm which swept through the Ma
honing and Shenango valleys. On the
Erie Ashtabula division of the Penn
sylvana Railroad the damage was partic-
ularly severe. The rain resembled a cloud
burst in many places, landslides and wash
outs were frequent and many bridges and
treStles were rendered unsafe. Small creeks
were transformed into torrents, while IN
swiftly running creeks endangering the
trestles over them. 1t was the most re-
markable rain which ever fell in the val
leyS. There were two WaShOutS on the
eastern division of the Fort Wayne line,
one being at New Galilee and the other at
Summit Tons of earth were swept down.

NEW YORK, July pa deluge of rain,

property. Shade trees along the avenue and
side streets were blown down and in some
instances travel delayed by the OBJ

were blown down in many places and for
a time communication with other cities was
seriously interrupted. Several buildings and
a hay barge were struck by lightning. A
number of persons were partially stunned.

people sought shelter under an arch in Cen
