At Greenaburg many people were driven from their homes and several stores were wrecked. A Hungarian cjmp below town was submerged and many of the people barely escaped drown ng. The towns of Larimer, Shafton, Irwin, Penn and Manor are partially under water, and many of the inhabitants are living in the upper stories of their houses. In the mountains the headwaters of Bald Eagle creek, Spruce creek and Junction river are I swollen beyond all bounds.

The 'Pennsylvania main line eastward has had a washout at Larimer, and last night trains were run over the West Penn8)lvauia division from Elairsville. The tracks of the latter are now under five feet of water, however, and no through trains will arrive or depart before tomorrow. Eastern through trains doe at 11 o'clock last evening are still on the road. They are living at Derry, Pennsylvania, and being well cared for. The washout is the great est in the history of the road.

22 SltKATE Mr. as an amend we u- the House tariff bill an addilioiiiti section suspending uotil further order of Congress all laws relating to the sinking fund and had it referred to the- committee on finance Beck also introduced a bill to repeal all laws relating to the sinking fuud and asked that it lie on the table until he could see what would become of his amendment to the tariff bill. He said the four per cent bonds which the Treasury was purchasing had gone up in five months from 125 to 129 and 41 per cent bonds from lUb to The meaning of that was that Congress bad so arranged the law that taxation had: to be kept up bo as to provide fifty millions a year for the sinking fund, while the had already bought over $700,000,000 bonds more than the sinking fund needed. There waa only fraction over that could possibly be bought before 1907 without paying any premium that the holders of the bonds might ask, and there was enough money lying idle in the Treasury today to pay off every one of the 4 per cent bonds' without any embarrassment to; the government. The requirement of the sinkinir fund, vhioh had been a fraud for ten years, was designed simply to main tain taxes.

He could I name, ten men today in the United States who by combination could buy up bonds and hold them and the Secretary of tt)e Treasury be forced (as the law ndw stood) to pay $200,000,000 for every $100,000,000 of bonds he ob tained. The sinking fund was maintained for no other purpose 'than to koep up taxes and to put money in tte rockets of the bondholders by enabling them to combine together. They had already (within five months) put up the price of bonds per cent and they would put it up 5 per cent within the year unless the sinking fund law were repealed. This was an outrage on the taxpayers of the country and an outrage upon a decent legislation. He wanted his bill to lie on the table till he could see whether the finance committee would not agree to suspend operation of the sinking fund, if it did not he would ask the Senate to pass his bill.

1 Mr. Teller, Is this a proper sub ject of debate now rresiding oshcsr it is not. i IPP? V. rt in the debfte. part Mr.

Heck 1 would be glad to have you do so. I would like to hear somebody deny that sinking the fund law ought i to be repealed. After some further discussion the bill was. read a first and second time and laid on the table- The Senate then, on motion- of Mr. Call, proceeded to the consideration of the Senate joint resolution appro- oriatiner S2U0.0UU to suppress in fection in the inter-State commerce of the United States.

During the discussion. Mr. Yoor- hees called attention to the fact that he was reported in the newspapers as not voting yesterday on the resolution for the ratification of the fisher ies treaty (final vote; when the fact was that he was paired and the pair had been announced in the benate. Hie discussion on the epidemic joint resolution was continued at much length by Senators Call, Tasco, Har ris, Bpooner, lilair, Wilson oi xqwa, Chandler, Plumb, Hale and Cockrell. The committees substitute, was amended in several particulars and was adopted and the bill passed, i It now reads that, in addition to the unexpended balance of the fund here tofore appropriated, the sum of 820U, 000, is hereby appropriated to be im mediately available to be expended in tbe discretion of tbe President of the United States in aid of the State or municipal boards of health or other wise by such means as he shall deem best to prevent the introduction of cholera or yellow fever: into' the United States from foreign countries or into one State or Territory from another or into the District Co lumbia from any State or into any State or Territory from the said-Di trjet.

Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, gave notice that he would tomorrow ask the Sea- ate to proceed to the consideration bf the repoit of the iudieiary committee on the Jackson (Mississippi) election. Mr. Chandler called up his resolu tion heretofore offered in relation to fraud and violence in the last Lduis iana election and proceeded to -ad dress the Senate thereon. In tbe course of his speech upon the Louisiana election Mr, Chandler remarked that in Texas they preferred to hancr negroes rather than white men.

This stirred Mr. Reagan to. resentment and he defended his State from what he described as the reckless impudence of Mr. Chandler. Mr.

Reacran was called to order by the presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls and withdrew the epithets he had applied to Mr. Chandler. Messrs. Coke, Spooner and Evarta were drawn into iS discussion of the Washington county, Texas, election troubles, and Mr.

Blair hoped that tbe debate would im press on the Texas Senators the necessity for the nasbace of the Blair educational bill. Mr. Chandler resumed his remarks on Louisiana and continued till the Senate at 5.15 adjourned, Mr. Chan dler still holding the floor. HOUSE.

Numerous seats bad been prepared in front of the building, and also others upon the floor of the structure over which a large canvass had been erected.

Mr. Peele was followed byGen.Rufus Barringer, of Charlotte, who, in a brief address, set forth the aims and objects of the college, and spoke of tbe importance of industrial and acri- cultural education.

Gov. Scales then made a brief and appropriate address. He Baid that he was proud, on behalf of North Carolina, of this institution, and foreshadowed the groat good which would oome out of it. Whatever his views had been in the past with recard to the expediency of establishing the institution, he was ready to pledge his hearty assurance of his best wishes for its success. Before the couclueion of the exer cises Gov.

Scales made a motion that vote of thanks be tendered Mr. Stanhope Pullen, the magnaninous donor of splendid Rue of sixty acres upon which the college stood. This motion waa unanimously carried by a rising vote. Rev. L.

Cor. of the Hews and Observer. Oaks, N. August 20, 1888. We had tbe largest and most en thusiastic county convention at Gra ham on Saturday we ever saw assem bled, and the ticket that we nomi nated is as good as we could make it.

After the convention we were highly entertained by able speeches from Mr. B. H. Bunn and Rev. G.

W. San derlin. From Graham we escorted Mr. Sanderlin to Swepsonville, a beautiful drive of five miles, where he was to speak upon invitation of the Cleveland and Fowle Democratic elub of Thompson township. Mr.

E. M. Cook, the genial superintendent of the cotton mills, entertained Mr. Sanderlin, and I know it was handsomely done, for after supper he was escorted to the speaker's stand by Mr. Cook's elegant wife and beautiful daughter who, together with twenty or more young ladies of the villacre, decorated the well-arranged speaker's stand with flower that breathed the aroma of trne Democracy.

There are fifty-seven voters in tne village and they were there all to- ether with the surrounding country, is useless to attempt to describe the speech. Everybody was delighted and highly entertained. Our club numbers about hall the Democratic strength of the township, with Vr. W. H.

Bason, of Swepson ville, as president. Our Democratic strength is twenty per cent better than itwo 'years ago, but forty per cent less than it ought to be. Very truly, S. H. Webb, Corresponding Secretary.

HAVOC OF WIND AND RAIN. NEW OBLEAKS AND VICINITY BADLY SAV AGED BY BAOING ELEMENTS. The gale and heavy rainfall which prevailed from Friday evening until Sunday morning, did great damage in New Orleans and throughout the sugar belt, from Baton Rouge to the Gulf, including all the rice section of that State. Much of the sugar cane and rice were blown flat on the ground, and mauy sugar houses and dwellings were damaged xne damage to the sugar crop is roughly estimated at from ten to twenty per cent and to the rice crop twenty to fifty per cent. In tbe city many nouses were un roofed, fences prostrated and trees uprooted.

The heavy rain on the night of the 19th, for a time, flooded the entire city. The rear portion of the city, Claiborne, is still inundated, the water in the canal being so high that tbe drainage machines -are comparatively useless. Tbe city was in darkness Sunday night, the electric licht wires oomins in contact with the wires of the telegraph and telephone companies, and necessitating the cutting off the electric current.
