i The Appropriation Rill.'
The hjstory of the. first scssionof the
fifty-second con cress is practically ma3e,
and it Is probable that from now on ro
the end of the session . the eff rts of both
branches will be couf.ned principally to
the settlement of disputed points in the
appropriation bills.- These measures
are reallr much farther . advanced than
tbe simple statement f their parlia
mentary status wouil indicate p the un
practiced.cye. By an extraordinary dis
plsy of energy the house has succeeded
in passing every one of these bills ex
cept the genem! deficiency bill, and is
transferring them to the senate with such
rapidity In to tax severely the working
hind the house in passing 'upon these im
portant raeasurr.s. . .

The conferees' on the river and harbor

hopelessly upon two new Oregon and

the construction, of :i boat railway around.

A CYCLONE'S WORK.
An Illinois Town Almost Swept Out
i of Existence. . 7
A very destructife cyclone -passed
tht ough the -northeastern part of Knox
county, III., Monday, and ruin was left
along its path. It seems to have first
made its appearance northwest of Galva.
About 7:30 o'clock two black, threaten
ing clouds were noticed in the west ap
proaching one another, and the tornado
is thought to have resulted from this
junction. Its course was south and east
through that city and the main body of
the storm passed along the main business
streets of the city. It came with such
suddenness that the citizens had no time
in which to fly to places of safety .
Many buildings were totally wrecked;
and that many people were not killed is a
miracle. The saddest feature occurred at
Augusta Olsen'a house. There were in
the house at the Jtime Mr. and Mrs. Olsen?
Charles 01en and four others. The resi
dence collapsed, killing Olsen instantly.
The others escaped by a miracle.
The place Tuesday was in a state of
demoralization. Business was completely
suspended, the streets being filled with
debris of every description. The stores
were more or less, in ruins. Hardly a
residence but what will need rep'airs.
The damage is estimated at 200,000.
Considering the number of buddings
wrecked it is surprising that, there was
r.o greater los of life. Mr. Olsen tras
the only one killed. Eleven persons were

STATUS OF TRADE.
Dob & CoV Report oa Baslness for
the Past Week. ,
The review of trad for the week ended
June 17th, published by R. G. Dun &
Co.. says: Hot weather and hot politics
together have affected business at many
points, but there is, nevertheless, an im
provement both in actual trade and in
prospect. One obvious cause is the swift
improvement 'of the crop outlook. After
weeks of soaking, grain has now jus: the
weather for most rapid growth Floods
still make some rouble in the lower Mis-,
sissippi valley, but elsewhere throughout
the west and northwest excellent farm
prospects stimulate trade.
At the east the demand for manufact
ured products is large for the sesson, and
the settlement of many labor controver
gies. especially in the building trades,
while the fesr of the long strike in west
ern iron works also stimulates purchases
of iron and steel products.
Tbe political movements have much
encouraged conservative men with re
gard to the monetary future. The iron
output June 1st was 175.174 tons weekly,
only 2,712 tons less than May 1st, while
the unsold stock has decreased 26,427
tons. In spite of some increase at the
south, the output is now 18.72S tons less
than the greatest ever attained on 3tsrch
1st; or about 9 per cent, but it is 28,000
tons greater tha-i a year ago. At Pitts
burg the demand for finished iron is good,
the prospects of wage diflicu Hies stimu
lating, workers demanding last year's
scale, and maufacturers are ; reducing.
Hardware is very active
IMPROVED TKADE AT. TH"E fJOUTH. v
Improved trade is noted at Louisville
and Nashville, and business holds on well
for the seasorv-at Savannah, a decrease in
the production of naval stores being con
templated. High water ; mark - makes
business dull at New Orleans, but sugar
is quiet and 6teady and moqey plenty,
with little demand. Better weather and
a decrease of onfy 12 per cent, in cotton
acreage, accordi-ig to the ihost reliable
report, have caused a fall of . five-si x
t4eoths in that price, with sales of al3;--000
bales, receipts and exports bring
larger than last year. Cotton spinners
are taking more cotton than a year ago,
and unsold stocks of goods are compara
tively small. Exports of products con
tinue heavy for the half of June, 23J per
cent larger from New York -than last
year, with a moderate increase in im
ports. Money is everywhere abundant
and unusually cheap, and complaints of
collections fewer thau u'tfl. Business'

THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED
And Forty-three ften Hurled to Their
Death.
A Cincinnati dispatch says: One .of
the most fearful accidents in the history
of this vicinity vas thut of the fall
Wednesday of a bridge which was in
course of construction over Licking river,
between Covington and Newport, Ky.
Forty-five workmen were on1 the struc
ture. So far as is known only two es-i
caped unhurt. Others were either killed;'
by the crushing of iron and timbers or
were drowned in the water. The cause;
of the accident is surmised to be the
weakening of the. wooden false work.
Tbe high river had washed out the earth
about the supports, and i.t is chimed that
.one of the contractors said a day or two
ago that he was afraid the structure
would not stand under the weight of the
heavy material. Wednesday a force of
forty-three men were engaged in putting
in place the heavy iron work on the main
span. Suddrnly there was a cracking
sound of breaking timbers, a swaying of
the structure and the headlong plunge of
the whole mass into fhe muddy waters of
Licking river fifty feet below. It was
almost like the foundering of a ship.
Very few forms were to -be seen strug-
I gling cs the surface, the others were
j drowned or crushed by the material. In
; a short time the river was lined with
rescuing parties on. both sides. Tbe
bodies of the. following were recovered:
Richard Gorman, Covington; 'fhomas
Burke. Ohio; William Hartner, Jeffer
Bonville,Tnd;; John O'Neal, Covington;
diaries Schaaipor. Robert Baird, Cleve

Andrew Baird, Cleveland ; .William
Wilson, inspector; John Phillips, New
,port; Elmer Barber, W, D. Robe, Henry
Oliver were fatally injured.
Three of the men were only slightly
hurt and two escaped without a scratch.'
The bridge was being built by a Cleve
land, O , syndicate which has in view
the building and operating of the Belt
electric line of street cars in Covington
and Newport, in connection with the
Cincinnati line: It crossed the river at
Twelth street, Covington, and was to be

The preliminary hearing of the mail

At a meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce at Raleigh, N. C, Tuesday eve
ning, preliminary arrangements were
made for the construction of a railway
from Raleigh to Averasboro, the head of
navigation on the Cape Fear River. The
length of the road is thirty-one miles. and
the cost is estimated at $156,003. Ral
eigh capitalists will take the bonds.
' The sub-associations of- the General
Turpentine Oierators' Association of
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, met the
factors in private session at Savannah a
few days ago and decided, in view of the
present prices being so low, that opera
tions were conducted at a loss. Each
operator showed a reduction in the
working of yearlings and old boxes of at
least 2 per cent. They believe that this
soon will have an effect on the receipts
and a beneficial result on prices.
The chancerv court nt Montgomerv,
Ala., adjourned Tuesday after a special
session held to try cases -growing out of
.the failure of Mses Brothers, bankers,
last July for about one million dol ars.
Th court has taken under advisement a
petition praying for a decree for the sale
of Moses Brothers' building, one of the
handsomest structures in Montgomery,
and worth about two hundred, .thousand
dollars, A decree ordering the sale will
probably be handed down, in two or .three
weeks.
A Jackson, Miss., eiispatch says : Judge,
Cooper, of the supreme court, on Wed
nesday entered suit against the Alabama ,
and Vicksburg railroad for $4. 30. The
circumstances were that the judge
bought a ticket to Columbus, the road
failing up to the time of the 'purchase of
the -ticket to note on its bulletin board
the fact that the train was five hours late.
When the delay was bulletined the judge
demanded the return of the' money,
offering to return the. ticket, which was,
refused. Hence the suit is intended
doubtless to settle the Tights of the pub
lic and roads 'in cases of delayed trains.

Bales of Cotton Destroyed.
The big warehouse of the Bay Line of
steamers, at the foot of Union dock, Bal
timore, took fire Tuesday afternoon from
an unknown cause, and within five min
utes wa a roaring mass of flames.
Stored inside the warehouse, which It
several hundred feet long, were between
five hundred and one thousand bales of
cotton, several- shiploads of rosiaf ia
barrels, and a great number of hogs
heads of rrohuses. The inflamma
ble nature of the contents of the
wsrehouse caused the blaze to
spread with lightning-like rapidity.
The big four-nmted schooner Augus
tus Weil, the steamer Caroline aodxa
number of other vessels lay at the pier
when the fire broke out. The Caroline
caught .fire, but the tugs made a desper
ate fight to save her. I he schooner Wirt
was wrapped in flames in a few minutes.
The heat from the burning warehouse,
together with that of the weather, was
terrible on the firemen, and several
dropped at the hose pipes.
The lots will approximate $1,000,000.
The fire is thought to have originated
from spontaneous combustion among the
cotton.. -. None of the vessels lying at the
docks were totally destroyed, because .
tugboat drew them into the stream,
where the flreboat, Cataract, and streams
from the tugs saved thtm from total loss;
but several fine vessals were, badly dam
ag d. Among these ' we're the
steamers Caroline and Gaston, schoon
ers Wesiev O iver, Mamie ' Howard,
William Wirt and Augustus Weil. The
latter had just ar'ved with 1,200 tons of
ice. AlHhetjf' . Samper of the schoon-.
ers named was Vned off and the hulls
damaged. The K Line warehouse was
totally destroyed V,2h its contents, in
clu iing 5,000 bales of cotton and over
odc thousand, two hundred barrels of
whisky, Intended for foreign thipmcat.
