The devastation of the forests, it is said, has had much to do with the volume of water that fioods the rivers of this country. and it is probable that never again will Mont gomsrfane see such flood as visited this section fifteen or twenty years ago.
 Many can remember when water was foot or two deep where the present Union station stands. and when the north end of Commerce Street re- sernbled a miniature lake.
 The river rises much more rapidly than formerly. Likewise 1t falls more rapidly. This is said to be due to the fact that Che clearing away of the for ssts leaves the water unobstructed to rush into the ravine. then to. the tribu. tarfes of the river. The spongy sur- face of the earth in forests usually absorbs the heavy rains and rstArds the pouring of the vast volume oi water into the streams.
 The Alabama River has reached itl highest stage now and is falling rapid. ly. The damage has not been -incon' siderable. Several ferry boats have been washed down this far. and one ii now lodged just above the city. Con- siderable timber has also been seen fioating down the river. and negroes ir smali boats have been corralltng 1t or the southern shore to be utilized ai fuel.

Brewster Cameron

Tho tragic death of Hon. Brewster Cameron st Niagara on the 3rd in-' atant is calamity deeply affecting Arizona through the loss of one of it's most respected aud useful citizens. So widespread was Slr. Cameron's in. hueuce for good that the sorrow caus- ed by his unexpected death, in the very prime of his life, is SO universal as to be practically national iE cha- racter

 elected to cast bis lot in the far Wet.
 because Of his appreciation of the
 hardy pioneers whose bravery and fortltude were never failing sources of
 adm ation to him.
 Irtimately associated with him dur
 ing oil these years, in business and
 socially, I found him ever steadfsst to
 him splendid g. nse of honor and in tegrity, coupled with native, un-
 varying, courtesy in dealing with his fellow men K+enly sensitive to the
 duties O. citizenship he accepted po-
 sitions of trust under the federal gov-
 ernment, fulfilling capsbly and con-
 scientiously every duty imposed upon him Although dignitied he was open
 hearted and spproachab!e, holding no
 distl n ctiops between the rich and the
 humble, his every action indicating that his conception of the true meas
 ure of man was comprised in that
 mans indi vidual worth and not m his
 worldly possessions.
 His personal character was lovable
 and gentle: he wronged no one for gain and unosten tatIousiy performed
 many charIte ble acts, never permitting
 the left hand to known what the 2 right hand did. He was true to the core to his friends; modest and un- |. assuming always; devoted to his fam !. ily, and inst in hIs financial dealings. His word was his bond and he scorned to take undue advantage, even when permitted by legal technicalities, Tn 1 his business transactions.
 He differed from the majority oi men because of the absence of habits U that obtain with many. He wal temperate in all things. sufficiently = broad to sink self interest for the general welfare kind and censideratt ? in every act of his useful career, and e worthy of the entire confidence of hi

 0 Although absent at times from thu n Territory. many of his larger transac- g tions were identified with it and h' 'I evor considered Arizona as his home i' to which he frequently returned witi

the most sensational fights in the his

night at a meeting OF the Orange
Board of Education that Warren o.

INCREASE SHOWN
IN REGISTRATION
IN THE ORANGES
Voters Turn Out in Large Num-
bers in Most of the
Districts.

In many districts of Orange, East Or
ange and West Orange, an increase in
registration was shown yesterday. In
several a falling off was noticed, but
this will probably be increased on
primary day, as is usual in years when
a President is elected.
Particularly in the Second Ward OF
East Orange there was a great show
ing made, the first district alone hav-
ing an increase from 276 to 1873. A
peculiar situation existed in a district
of the Second Ward in Orange, the
board having only two members, both
of whom arc Republicans.
There was some excitement in the
polling place Of the first district, Sec
ond ward, East Orange, which is located
in a tailor shop neal the Brick Church
depot of the Lackawanna, and is run
by a colored man. A rumor was circu-
lated that the board might possibly
walk out, after a Republican member
had declared he would no longer work.
This man showed an inclination to
throw up his job early. claiming that
there was an odor in the place that did
not meet with his approval.
Finally he hurried down to the City
Hall and made complaint to City Clerk
Lincoln r. Rowley, but, despite all, he
went back to work and remained until
the closing hour.

TAX RATES IN
EAST ORANGE AND
ORANGE HIGHER
Figures Show Advance Due to
Removal of Valuable
Ratables.
ORANGE RATE IS 1856;
WAS LII LAST YEAR
In East Orange It Is l.53
as Against
l.5O.

These additional municipalities had
their tax rates Officially fixed by the
County Board of Taxation at its session
at noon today:
City of Orange, 1.S6, against LII last
year: East Orange, 1.53, against 1.50;
town of West Orange, pa, against 2.36;
South Orange Village. 1.47, same as last
year.
The big difference in the figures be-
tween the present rate and last years
in Orange is due to the fact that the
large Graves estate, which last year
was included In the ratables. Is not so
included this year.. as the courts have
declared against the local assessment
of it's securities, OF which it largely
consists.
In East Orange the larger rate of this
year is due to the fact that many of
the securities held by wealthy citizens,
included in the ratables last year. are
not included this year, because of the
| decision of the courts.
D The rates already fixed and printed
up to date are those of Newark. Irving
ton, Belleville. Montclair and Nutley.
