New Orleans. July 24.-The States has
the following:
A deal has been practically completed
here for the purchase of the twenty
cotton presses of New Orleans by
wealthy Eastern capitalists. One mil
lion dollars has been deposited in con-
nection with the deal and millions more
are involved in what is considered one
of the most important financial trans
actions that ever occurred in the South.
According to the terms 40 per cent.
is to be paid in cash based on the esti-
mated value of the property, and 60 per
cent. in preferred stock, upon which
dividends of per cent. are to be guar
anteed. The only hitch in the deal is
in the matter of the presses owned by
the Heine interests of Paris. The
Heine's are willing to surrender their
holdings, but have notified. the syndi-
cate that they desire to sell outright
for cash. 1t is understood that the
manager of the deal in this city has
secured options upon every press upon
the terms mentioned. The negotiations
have been carried on very quietly, and
the names of the capitalists who are
financing the enterprise in the East are
withheld. What the intentions of the
syndicate are with respect to the prop
erty have not been learned, but it is
suggested that the deal may have some
connection with the struggle between
the square bale and the round bale
interests in the South.

RAIL WAY CASHIER INSANE.
j. r.. Greenway of Chesapeake and
Ohio Found in Richmond and Now
in the County Jail.

Richmond Va, July 24.-J. r.
Greenway, the Chesapeake and Ohio
cashier, who has been missing from his
office in Norfolk since Saturday, July
IL, has been located here and is now
in Eenrico county Jail. His condition
is that of a deranged man, and on last
Tuesday when he was taken in charge
by the county authorities he was in
most pitiable state, mentally and
physically.
An ugly wound in his throat, inaict-
ed by his own hand, while in the ago.
MES of his delirium. tells the story of
his dethrored reason. At his cell door
his brother, Arthur .Greenway, who ar
rived in the city from his home in New
York, has spent the greater part of
to-day trying to learn from
his unfortunate brother the story of
his wanderings between the time he
left Norfolk and last Tuesday, when
he was taken in by the county author
tiles. Greenway is held only as a per-
son non compos mentis. There is no
criminal charge preferred against him,
either by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company or the county au-
thorities. r5a3SS
Controller Sullivan of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad said to- day
that no investigation had been made
as yet of Greenway's accounts, but
that within the next few days they
would be audited. The impression
among the officials is that GreenWay's
accounts will be found correct.

FLOODS NOW AFFLlCT TEXAS.
Big Springs Overlooked and Texas
and Pacific Track Washed Out.
Ten Inches of Rain Has Fallen.

Big Springs, Tex, July 24.-The
streets of Zig Springs have been in
undated by the heavy rains, and train
service on the Texas and Pacific has
been suspended.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon wa
ter began running down the railroad
track, and in two hours the railroad
shops, tracks and the business and
residence portion near the track were
under water from three to ten feet
deep. Another rise is expected.
The people living in the exposed por-
ton of the town were notified in time
to secure a place of safety.
No lives have been reported lost,
but several narrow escapes are re-
ported. At present it is impossible to
estimate the damage, but it will be
enormous with the railroad company
as the heaviest loser. The track for
several miles is washed away, and it
will probably be ten days before a
train can get through to the West. No
trains from the East have arrived since
yesterday. The last was thirty hours
late, and no attempt was made to run
it further west. The water-bound pas
sengers arc being taken care of by the
COMPANY.
The irrigated farms below this place
have been ruined. Old settlers say that
this Is the heaviest rain which has
ever been known here. Ten inches have
fallen in the last few days.

Policy of Wyndham, Who Lays
Trouble TO His Opponents.
London, July 24.-The debate on the
Irish estimates begun yesterday in the
House of Commons was continued ac-
rlmoniously this afternoon, John Dill
Ion, Irish Nationalist, declaring that
the speech of the chief secretary for
Ireland, Mr.. Wyndham, yesterday
amounted to a declaration of war
against the Irish people The chief
secretary, he said, had enforced the
stringent coercion act without a shad-
ow of justification. Mr.. Dillon review
ed the case of Sergt Sheridan and
blamed the government for falling to
prosecute him.
William OBrien, Nationalist, made
a lighting speech, punctuated by loud
Nationalist cheers, in which he as
serted that if Prince Henry of Prus-
STA and German fleet had landed an
army in Bantry Bay. it would not
nave required many organizers to
bring every young man in Ireland who
was worth his salt under Prince Hen
1ys flag. Amid much disturbance
Mr.. O'Brien declared that
the Irish land trust was
run by pair of perjured privy coun-
cillors," and for this expression he was
called to order.
John Morley, Liberal, declared the
Irish question was alive still and an
actual and burning issue, yet, at the
beginning of a new reign, with a new
premier and the chief secretary for
Ireland, about to take a more RESPONSE
bic position, the policy of the govern
ment seemed to be the old deplorable
policy of coercion.
Mr.. Wyndham, replying, said the gov
eminent policy was dominated by the
fact that innocent persons were plung-
ing Ireland into disorder and provok-
ing government intervention in order
to justify the demands for home rule.
The revival of coercion in these cir
cumstances was the collective act of
the government and the fulminations
against the privy councillors and him
self were aside the mark.
The motion to reduce the vote for
Ireland was defeated by 1876 to 1876.
