Charges Are Made That the Recent
Election Was Procured by Scam
dalons md Shameful Methods.

So far as Rev. q. Fl. Gaynor, rector
of ST. Paul's Episcopal churchin Sioux
City, is concerned, the bishopric con-
test in Iowa is not at an end. He was
one of the stanchest supporters of DR..
Thomas Green, of Cedar Rapids, and is
cut with a long circular letter, adj
dressed to the various bishops and
standing committees. He says as a
priest of the church of 40 years stand
ing he wishes to register the senti-
ment of nine-tenths of the people of
his parish. He charges that DR.. Nor
rison's election was procured by scan7
dalous and disreputable methods; that
it was a campaign from beginning to
end of Misrepresentation, falsehood, at
tempted bribery, probable procurement
of illegal votes and shameless insincer-
ity. This priest further says that there
was scarcely a trick known to the low
est of politicians that was not ~resorted
to in the Cedar Rapids convention. He
does not want the election of DR.. Morri-
son confirmed.

Danger of Flood.

Columbus, o., Jan. 16. = The heavy
rains Of the past "a hours have raised
the Scioto river to the danger point and
a levee south of West Columbus has al

been driven from their residences by
the water, some making their escape in
boats. There is great danger of a repe-
tition of last years flood and the resi-
dents of West Columbus are greatly
alarmed. The river was still rising at

Report of Bradstreet.
Bradstreet's says:
TO the observer perhaps the most not
able feature of the trade situation at pres
ent Is the strength of prices of nearly all
staples. blu particularly of cereals, cotton,
iron and steel, which have apparently
gained further ground since the first of the
year. Explanation of the strength Of
wheat Is, of course, oundi In the good cash
demand which seems to meet any slight re-
action In values and which has placed the
price as high as at any previous time for
three months past. This cereal and corn
are both In exceptionally good demand
abroad, judging from the large exports, re-
ported. While large sales of Iron and steel
are not SO numerous as In recent weeks,
further advances In prices. notably of pig
iron, steel billets, plates n rods bear tes-
ttmony to the eagerness of buyers to se-
cure supplies and the almost corresponding
Indifference Of the trade toward new bust
ness, order books of most of the mills being
reported well filled. Pig iron production
Is the heaviest ever known, but stocks
show further depletion. The feeling of
confidence in the lumber trade is undated
and an active demand is looked for in the
spring, the strength Of hard wood being a
particular feature in this connection.

the weather and the candidates would
combine to gather at the polls the largest
vote in the history Of the city.
The ticket was much smaller than
those used heretofore and, though a
new form, a much simpler one. 1t is
one that should be easy for election
judges to count. The fight for superin-
