VoL IV. No. 95. vi Of' THE NATIONAL CAPITAL SECRETARY WINDOM ON THE COUNTRY'S FINANCES. a Believes Money Is Quite Plentiful A Appointments Other Washingtok, July 20.

Secretary of, the Treasury Windom ia not troubled 'by tbe published reports that the reset re in the New York banks Is getting dangerously low, and that there are indications of a stringency in the money market which may call for some action by the treasury department. The secretary said to day that he oould ee no evidence of money being tight, from the fact that while the department offered to buy bonds at a liberal figure the offers were not numerous. 'If money was in ne continued, "bonds would not tm held back as they now are. The price we have established is a liberal one, and on the bonds the holders are getting only about 2 per cent, while on the 4s the interest is only a trifle over 1, yet there is no great alacrity shown by the holders of 'these bonds to. sell them to the government and convert them into cash.

f'Tb surplus novf amounts in round Bg'urei to 553,000,000, of which $45,000, 00 is in the hands of the banks, and 14,000,000 in the treasury. The money In the banks is about the same as when Mr. Fairchild was Secretary of the Treasury. It baa been reduced somewhat, but not very much, as I do riot care to do Anything which might disturb the trade. It is true this amount might be increased, bat I do not believe in the plan and should not care to Increase the amount without the action of Congress.

So you ee the great bulk of the surplus is iu the banks, to be used by the people, and the treasury could not do Tery much more, unless authorized by Congress. "Will yon Uxsrinane the purchase of sil Ter?" Mr. Windom was asked. "No," was his reply, in a very emphatic tone. "I see no indications of a wtrlngent money the Secretary added, ''and this reports which reach me do net show that it is generally feared.

ince I bare been in the treasury department I can safely say that I have not re ceived a half dozen appeals for money or requests "that the department would liber ate money. I have not heard that the New York banks were losing their money," and the general Impressiou conveyed tome lias been that money was plentiful." UABOKE AND BRADY AT PEACE, The National ftepubllean Committee Ar rangei a Compromise. "WactHtotos, Jnly 20. A committee of "five from the Republican national executive committee, consisting of Chairman Quay, Vice chairman Clarkson of Iowa, Treasurer Dudley of Indiana. Mr.

Fessen den of Connecticut ana jar. tfobarr nr Ifew Jersey'Eas beefl ijTconference here tor three day with a view" to harmonizing the trouble In the Republican party in Virginia. A conclusion has been reached Approving of th'e call for a State convention, to be issued by William Mahone as chairman of the regular committee, and Mr. Brady of the other side concurred In this action of the committee. The complaint of the anti Mahone Republicans was that they had not been allowed to have free and onen conventions fn precinct, county and State; that the chairman of the party committees, ap pointed by Gen.

Mahone's chairman, always named the temporary chairman and secretary of the precinct and county conventions, and did not give free and open conventions for the expression of individual Republican preferences. The call for the State convention to be held 22 is so broadened as to give the protection thus asked. Tbe national committee has given its approval of the call. Of the five members pt the national committee approving tbe call Senator Quay has always been recognized as identified in sympathy with tbe jMahone element, and the four others have always made the record in national contentions and oommittees of sympathy, with the other side.

July 20. The recent storm along the valley of the Little Kanawha was one of terrible violence, and Jje rush of water down the channel of thd river and over the lowlands bordering ie was unprecedented in its suddenness ant about as large in volume as. ever before known. It is feared drownings have been numerous in the narrow valleys upstream along the tributaries of the river. The storm extended across tbe Ohio, and railroad washouts, wrecked bridges and ruined crops are reported over a large area in Ohio.

The storm burst about midnight, and by o'clock in the morning the river had jumped up twenty feet, and at daylight the scene presented along the channel in front of this city was an alarming one. The entire surface of the stream was, covered with a tangled mass of logs, barns, fragments of houses, and rafts of valuable timber. About 6 o'clock Mrs. Isaiah Tucker went to the door of her boat house opposite this city to view the wreck covered river. As she stepped upon the deck a huge raft of logs struck the boat and she was tossed into, the water and never rose.

She left a family of five children in the boat, who were saved. Another shanty boat said to contain three women, passed the city about daylight. A short distance below it was overturned and all were drowned. The Ohio River railroad is broken at Harris Ferry, the Baltimore Ohio at Kanawha Station, and the Cincinnati, Washington Baltimore at Londonderry. Many lumber firms have lost about all their summer cut of logs, and thousands of 'acres of crops are totally destroyed.

Details of losses are constantly coming in and the aggregate damage will exceed 100, ooo. Above the destruction was still greater. Big Tygart valley is completely ruined. Tbe big mill near its mouth went out and took the Tygart bridge with it In tbe valley all the fences, crops, and live stock were lost. At Chesterville, a small town about ten miles above, half tbe residences were carried off bodily and left in corn fields.

In Clay district a fine church and three dwellings were wrecked About noon information was received that th? sf earner Oneida had been wrecked iitd sunk at Enterprise, above. Still later a report came that jtsa? S. Martin was sunk at Burning Springs. The Little Tygart is also reported cofopletely ruined. HeathenngtoH's store, Cap i.

Spencer's residence, C. P. Cooper's resi dence, and that of J. W. Smith are com pletely demolished, but no lives are re ported lost as yet.

xne worsx story oi an comes irom near the heaL of centrated in ail its fury, down on the village and totally destroying it, together with many of its people: The first report'gave the loss 6f life at eJeven, but later news seems to fix the loss at a greater number. Tbe houses of tbe citizens are said to have been picked Op and hurled against each other in such' short space of time that no chance to escape was riven the people. Among taose iosi a Morristown are Jake Kiger, his brothers Joseph and Thomas, a man named Bailey, sm a Orviile west, wile, ana cnuu. xne dooj of man believed to be another Morris town victim was found on the Richardson farm. At Pill Brush all bridges and culverts are washed away and it is impossible to reach or communicate with that point, or any other on upper waters.

It is impos sible now to enumerate the loss even here, as the river is still rising and tearing evervthin loose. A family boat containing: three or four narsons went out urine the nieht, and it is believed all are lost, as, last seen of them was when a woman held up a child in her arms and beckoned for assistance as the house disappeared in tbe flood. Latee A freight train on the Ohio River railroad broke through a trestle at Harris' Feny, completely wrecking the train and fatally injuring William Nep Aune. an employe. The wreck was caused bv a heavv washout.

A sad accident occurred here Friday evening by which two yonng society people lost their lives. The names tff the ill fated young folks are Bertha Head, daughter of A. A. Head, a lumberman, and Richard Lyman, the son of a retired merchant. Both were drowned in the lake.

About 7:8 o'clock young Lyman and Miss Head started out in a rowboat intending to visit a boat house on tbe lake shore. Tbe wind was bio in a gale and the sea ran very blgh the time. In a few minutes, while Lyman was attempting to turn the boat about and head it for the boat bouse, it was caught in the trough of the sea and capsized. The life saving crew saw the accident and was on band in less than three miuutes after it occurred, but all efforts to recover the bodies have thus far proved unavailing. BUSINESS IS GOOD.

The General Average of Prices Materially Lower than a Week Ago. New York, July 20. R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade says: or The dull season of the year business continues remarkably large, Ihe increase in clearing honse transactions for July thus far has been about 80 per cent New York, about 19 per cent at Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, and about Jo per cent in tbe aggregate of all other cities.

New business of a non speculative character evidently exceeds that of the same month in any, previous From all parts of the country, also, come the the reports that an active and prosperous fall trade Is anticipated, and Ins crop prospects continue favorable. But the financial outlook is rendered uncertain by the continued exports of gold, the liquidation of foreign holders of securities, and the 4onbts about trust operatiojjL' "All re pert from Interior indicate that the demand for money, though at at, CblJafo, and Philadelphia more ve, is everywhere met by an ample sup ply. and at nearly all points is still but moderate.
