The late Dr. Bibhard Cheneyix

ecclesiastical - position. His strength:
lay in his studies of language, and his:
fi-'ld was. that pfg scholarly rather than
that of original - work. .. One of his
earliest books was the volume of "Hul
s an Lectures for ,1845-46, ' ' which was
a study of the fitness of the Scriptures
for the needs of men; but almost con4
temporary with this came the lectures
on ';The titudy of Words," which were
originally addressed to the pupils of the
diooejsan training school at Winchester.
This volume has, bow reached its eigh-

Shortly after the opening of the Senate
Mr. Edmunds moved that when the
Senate adjourn today it0 be till Mon
day next. Agreed to.
A bill for the erection of a monu
ment in Washington to the memory : of
Abraham Lincoln, at a cost of $500,000,
was reported from the library committee
and passed.
' Mr. Piatt made a few remarks in
reference to a resolution some time since
introduced by : him, providing for the
consideration of executive business in
open sessions (This resolution has been
adversely reported by the committee on
rules.) Mr Piatt remarked that as the
point of border ; might be made on the
resolution, that it changed a rule with
out due notice, he would Monday next
propose an amendment to the resolution,
specifying, a particular rule of the Sen
ate which he proposed to have amended.,
by the resolution.
At the suggestion of j Mr.
Logan ah . understanding was se
cured by which his army
bill will be taken up Monday next, im
mediately after j the morning business,
and its : consideration continued
throughout the. day, and, if necessary,
from day to day until disposed of.
j Mr. Piatt consented that his Wash
ington Territory bill might be informal
ly laid aside in order to permit of this"
action on the army bill, but out condi
tion that the Washington Territory bill
hbuld not lose, its right of way.
r At 2 o'clock the Washington Terri
tory bill was laid before the Senate.
Mr. Dolph explained the financial con
dition of the Territory, and from
figures cited argued the ub
doubted ability of the people to main
tain a State government. The climate,
he described as 'cool in summery mild
winter and remarkably salubrious "
0 country on the face of the elobe. he
said possessed an inland sea whioh, for
beauty of scenery, extent of navigable
channels, or safe and commodious har
bors, could compare! with Puget sound.
Imagination could hardlv anticipate the
future in store ior mat .territory. ,
J Mr. Morgan spoke, in support of the
bill. The only objection to it. in his
mind, was that it authorised the Presi
dent to admit the State by proclamation if
lie should find the conditions to have
been complied with,: He thought that
"provision of doubtful constitutionals
and wisdom. It was the business of
Congress, not Presidents, to admit new
btates. This objection, however, would
not keep Mr. Morgan from supporting
the bill. He submitted to the commit
tee on Territories the propriety of sub
stituting action by Congress : for the
President proclamation. The commit
tee amendments to the bill were then
voted on seriatim and agreed to.
Mr. Voorhees submitted as an amend'
ment his bill, last presented (the en
an ling act i providing tor tbe admission
of Montana. This remains the pending
question when the bill comes before the
Senate again.
At 5.12 the Senate went into execu
tive session; in ten minutes the doors
were reopened The Senate adjourned
until Monday.
I housi.
: Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, rising to
a question of privilege, said he found in
the Record this morning that the gen
tleman from Missouri, ; Mr. U Weill,
yesterday had stated that he (Kelly)
had made a speech on the bill prohibit
ing tbe importation of -oontract labor.
identical with that he made on the arbi
tration bill. He had not heard that
statement and he did not wish by silence
to acquiesce in its correctness. He sup
ported contract labor, but he had de
clared the bill: crude and had suggested
amendments r to perfect it. That bill
could be amended, but jthe bill of the
committee on labor bad deliberately
erpetrated a trick and fraud. He
new- that the gentlemen who could
subinit this bill to the workiagmen of
the country as a provision for a speedy
settlement of employers' and employees'
difficulties were quite too innocent to
deliberately attempt a fraud . (Laaghter. )
Mr Powderlv, he said, had done more
to advance the principle of arbitration
than all the frothy eloquence that be
(Mr. Kelley) and his associates had
uttered yesterday and today. Mr.
Powderly's paper had been read and
considered by the heads of corporations
and they had said: "If thia is the spirit of
the workingmen, we must regard it."
For many years he, (Kelly) had de
nounced as frauds and tricks jost such
such bills as this, whioh pretended to
be in the interest of working men, but
he, had incontinently used words
for which he now apologised to the in
nocent members of the committee en
labor.
The committee rose and Mr. O'Neill
moved that all debate on the first action
on the bill be limited to one minute. '
By a parliamentary manoeuvre Mr.
Reagan, of Texas, obtained the floor and
made a constitutional argument against
the bill.
Mr. Lowery, of Indiana, denied the
assertion that the bill was a trick and a
fraud, or that it was infringing on any
provision of the constitution. He con
ceived that the committee had pro
ceeded with the utmost caution and cir-..
oumspection in framing the measure.
The effect of the bill would be to crys
talixe public opinion. In his judgment,
as sure as truth was omnipotent, just so
sure would corporate bodies be com
pelled to yield to the demands Of justice
and right. It was a step in the right
direction; it was in response to a cry
of distress;- it was "Ship ahoy !" to
sinking sailors. Let Congress put this
sign in the heavens as a token to labor
that it would not be always distressed,
aad that it would not always be at the
uic'oy of moLopoly.
I n.I the vote on Mr. O'NciH's
t!.i' Sfo .se at 5:45 adjourned.

Imm'ense damage has been done by
the recent heavy rains in this . section.
Saturday morning the rain-fall began
and with little cessation it continued
until yesterday morning. The wind is
fromthe North, it is colder, and snow
fell during yesterday afternoon. The
Western North Carolina R. R. has sus
tained extensive damage. 'No less than
five bridges on the road have been -swept
away; three on the French Broad and
two on thefTuckaseegee. Many mile of
tbe road along the Drench Broad river

and could not have life breathed into it.
The House then went into committee
of the wholeMr. Springer, of Illinois,
in the chair), on the labor arbitration
bill, general debate to be closed at 4
o'clock.
The . bill was discussed by Messrs
Gibson, of West Virginia; Crain, of
Texas;Dunn, of Arkansas; Buchanan,
of New Jersey; Worthington, of Uhnois;
Tarsney, of Michigan; Anderson, of
Kansas; Usbome, of Pennsylvania;
Long, of Massachusetts; Round, of
Pennsylvania; Cannon, of Illinois, and
others. In ' closing the debate Mr.
O'Neill, of Missouri, said that every
compulsory law placed on the statute
books of any country had proved a fail-
ure. A aeciaea result could only be
secured by conciliation. When public
opinion was behind a measure it was
powerful, lie quoted from the views
of political economists whioh had been
considered by the committee on labor,
and which upheld the principle of con
ciliation and arbitration, and at the con
clusion of his remarks the bill' was read
by sections for amendment. In speak
ing to a verbal amendment, bit. 11am-
mond, of Georgia, attacked the bill,
which, he asserted, instead of being
bill to protect labor, was one to prevent
strikes, in the interest of corporations
and at the expense of the United states.
Every man who believed as the gentleman
w - ai sr a . a
from Pennsylvania (Dir. ri.elly) did,
that the measure was a trick add a fraud,
ought to : vote against it. The House
proposed to crystalise into a statute law
something which nobody said was good
and many people said was a simple trick
to get rid of the question. ,

Galveston, Texas, April 1. At Mar

ton, colored, was executed in the pres
ence of 5,000 persons, for the murder of
Willis Durden a year ago. The : con
demned man confessed his guilt on the
scaffold, and said it was right that he
should be hanged. He stated . that he
was instigated to the crime by Ephraim
Durden, his half-brother. Durden was
immediately arrested, on the strength
of Washington's confession. Washing
ton exhibited great nerve. He rode on
his coffin from the jail to the scaffold.
After admonishing his large audience of
colored people to avoid the pitfalls
which brought him to the soaffoid, he
said he wanted his body to be buried
in an adjoining county. -He passed his
hat around for contributions to defray
theaexpenses of transporting bis body-
He gathered for which he heartily

Birmingham, Ala., April 1. Specials
to the Age from the river towns of
north Alabama show that the effects of
the freshet are worse even than tele
graphed yesterday. Gadsden re
ports the Coosa river at its highest
mark ana still rising, with alarming re
ports from above. All the railroad
bridges on the branch road between
Attalla and Gadsden, are swept away
aad a number of washouts on the Ala
bama & Great Southern are reported on
both sides of Attalla. The mill and
lumber interests at Gadsden suffered
immense damage. The Tennessee river
is reported out of its banks at several
points. . From Tuscaloosa, on Warrior
river, the advices are serious, though it
is believed that the worst has passed;
Many houses on either side of the river
have been abandoned and water is run
ning through the doors and windows.
Some families occupy the upper stories of
dwellings, and skiffs and flat boats .are
used for transportation. The village of
Northport, across the river from Tusca
loosa, is almost submerged now. The
iron bridge connecting the 'places is
under water at both eods and fears are
entertained for its safety. Water is a
foot deep in the Tuscaloosa cotton fac
tory, and work had to be abandoned.
Just before dark the wreck of a small
house passed down the river and several
persons were observed clinging to the
timbers. Rescuing parties in skiffs
started out in pursuit from Tuscaloosa
and were rapidly borne out of sight by
the current. Many persons living on
the low lands below Tuscaloosa had to
be rescued from their homes in skiffs.
No calculation can be made of the
amount of damage done to the farming
interest; to railroads and other high
ways. .From every, place with tele
graphic facilities comes the same report
of no trains and no mails since Monday
night. The regular trains on the roads
centering here have been discontinued
until further orders, and no work is
being done by the company's employees
except in repairs . and construction.
Rumors' have reached here of loss of
ife in theCoosa river valley.
iItnchscbo, V., April 1. The,flood
at this. point measured 26 feet at 7 a. m.
In the early morning a rapid rise took
place and the damage in the lower part
of the city is heavy. At this hour.
(1 p. m.), the river is falling. Fully
one-third of the Richmond & Alleghany
railroad from this point to Buchanan,
forty miles, is submerged, and all the
trestling has been washed away. 2io
estimate of the damage can be obtained.
Telegraphic communication along the
line has been destroyed and the poles
washed- dut.
Chattahooga, Tenn., April 1, The
Tennessee river is now 47 feet and
is rising two inches an hour. The fall
will hot commence before morning. No
trams are moving.
Nashvuxi, Tonn., April 11 The
Cumberland river, is rising an inch an
hour here. At noon it was four inches
above the danger line. It will rise
slowly until tomorrow. Reports from
the up-river counties show great damage
to farms;
BlCHMOSD, Va , April 1. The James
river at 'this point has been rising stead
ily all day and at 9 p- m. all that por
tion of the city known "Rocketts is
submerged to a depth of eight to ten
fect The water has also invaded the
streets about the bid market, between
15th and 18th streets, cutting off com
munication between the upper and lower
parts ot the city, except by boats or by
going a : long distance around towards
the north. The stieet cars run only as
far ddwn as the St.. Charles hotel, cor
ner 15th and Main streets.. The water
is (till rising, at the rate of six
inches an hour, and it 'is ex
pected that it will continue to rise
until 4 Or 5 o'clock tomorrow morning
The precautions taken by the people
generally in the threatened districts, in
removing goods to places of safety, will
keep the damage down to comparatively
small figures: Many poor families liv
ing in "Rocketts" have been driven
from their homes and made to seek
shelter elsewhere. ; From present indi
cations this flood will equal if not sur
pass th6se of 1870 and 1877. A portion
of the gas works is submerged and it is
probable that the gas will have to be
cut off during the night. The telegraph
wires along tbe Richmond & Alleghany
railroad being all down, nothing can be
learned of the damage up the James
river valley between here and Lynch
burg. No trains have been running on
that read since yesterday. Despatches
from Clifton Forge and other points
above Lynchburg state that the water is
falling rapidly .

companies are building a road from
Shelby to Rutherford ton, and the Car

under an old charter of the legislature
The Massachusetts & Southern company
denied the Carolina Central's claim to
right of way, oh the ground that it had
been forfeited by lapse of time, and be
gan laying its track side by side of the

East St. Louis, April 1. Owing to
, the absence of any definite orders from
the executive committee as the exact
time when they should return to work,
the strike of the yardmen and switch
men still continues. Tbe strikers
assembled in great numbers this morn
ing m the railroad yards and around the
relay depot, but no serious disturbances
are anticipated. They have expressed
their intention of not resorting to vio
lence, however great the provocation,
and will pursue the same course as
that of yesterday in their attempt
to render freight traffic an im
possibility by ; persuading the engi
neers to desert their posts. In view of
their determination the necessity of call
ing upon the State militia to protect the
railroad property is not now seriously
considered. The presence of deputy
United States marshals has a restraining
influence upon the more demonstrative
members of the crowd, and the efforts
of the Wabash : road, which is undr
control of the United States court, to
start out freight trains, are uninterfered
with. The knowledge that the Governor
of the State and adjutant general Vance
are waiting their every move, in order
to determine whether or not it shall be
necessary to call out the militia, re
strains the strikers from violence and the
crowds are in consequence orderly.
St. Louis, April 1. Contrary to the
general expectation that the executive
committee of district assembly No 101
would designate the hour of 10 o'clock
this morning as the time when the strik
ing Knights of Labor should return to
work, no order to that effect was issued
and at 10 o'clock the strike still con
tinues. None of the strikers have ap
plied this morning to the Missouri Pa
cific officials for work, and they say they
will not do so until ordered by the ex
ecutive committee.
East St. Louib, April 1. Despite the
continuance of the strike upon this side
of the river, a considerable number of
new switchmen and yardmen have been
employed to fill the places made Vacant
by the strikers and all appearances this
morning indicate a speedy- resumption
of freight traffic by the different roads.
Switch engines are now running back
ward and forward in the yards, prepar
atory to starting out freight trains.
None of the switch engineers have as
yet been prevailed upon to leave their
engines and if the regular freight engi
neers shall be equally faithful in per
forming their duties there is no doubt
freight traffic on the roads here will be
at least partially resumed
I St. Louis, Mo., April 1. The fol
lowing address, issued this evening,
speaks for itself: i -

THI NIW YORK POLICl HATS GOT 'iM ON
THB LIST.
New York, April 1. Ex-alderman
Chas. B. W aite has been arrested. At
9 O'clock this morning inspector Byrnes,
armed with a warrant issued by judge
Cowing, was, in company with detective
Phillip Reilly, of the district attorney's
office, in waiting at the Grand Central
depot for Waite. When the train on
which the ex-alderman had come from
Essex, on Lake Champlain, drew into
the depot, the inspector stepped up to
hini and said : "Mr. Waite. I want to
see you." The ex-alderman, who was
not in the least disconcerted, seemed to
understand the purport of their mission
even before the warrant was produced.
and he was informed that he was. under
arrest. ! It is generally believed that
Waite is the man who wrote the much
talked of letter to judge Gildersleve..
The arrest created consternation in and:
around the city hall, as it is said that
detectives are on the track of every one
of the 1884 aldermen, and should anv
attempt to leave the eity they will at
once be arrested.

thirty-eight feet. They are still rising.
But few railroads trains are running, and
at 9 o'clock a. m. matters look gloomy,
as at least one-half of the city is under

poor people are submerged. The West

here to Point Pleasant, sixty miles.
.New river is reported falling at Hinton
