Special to the Indianapolis JournaL - Washington, July -J. Secretary Rusk is in a peck of trouble. Soon after he came to Washiugton ho and Mrs. Rusk started out to hunt for a house. After searching for three months they finally found cme that Suited. It is a handsome three-story hooso on Massachnsets avemto, with a fountain in front, and surrounded by a wilderness of roses and shrubbery just the sort of a place, in fact, for Uncle Jerry and his charming family; that is, it would be but for one unfortunate drawback. Mr. Lincoln, the present minister to England, lived in the house when he was Secretary of War, and more recently it was occupied by Gen. Morgan L. Smith. Mr.Smithdiud thereunder very peculiar and distressing circumstances. He was found drowned in the bath-tub. Since then thehonsehas not been occupied, and the superstitious neirro servants in the neighborhood tell hair-raising stories about. tae mysterious noises that come from the house iu tho still hours of tho mailt. Homo evil-disposed friend has told Sirs. Rusk some weird tales of how the old General's ghost stalks through tho deserted apartments, and of thumulHed cries for help that Fometinies come from tho bath-room, and now Uncle Jerry's wife has put her foot aown, nnu declared tuat nothing can induce her to live in a house that is haunted.

Preparations at Mil waul; ee Brought to a Stand still by tho Bluster of State Commanders. Milwaukee, Wis., July 4. -Preparations for tho national encampment of the Grand Anny of the Republic, which was to have been held hero in August, aro at a stand still. Nothing will bo done, either, next Thursday night, when tho encampment council will meet Matter aro decidedly mixed up, and to say that the citizens of Milwaukee aro disgusted with thewholo a flair is to put it very mildly, indeed. The cause of tho present trouhlo is the fact that the department commanders havo broken out again, and in their attempts to frighten the railroads are putting Milwaukeeans in a decidedly unpleasant position. For tho last six months preparations have been golug on here for tho proper reception and en tertainment of the STjO.000 veterans who were expected to bo in attendance. A bill was passed by the Legislature authorizing tho levy of a special tax of $50,000, and a guaranty fund of equal amount was about to be pledged when the trouble over railroad rates arose. Already moro than $5,000 has been expended in preparations, over $2,000 of this amount going to tho (J ran a Army of the Republic men who have had charge of the headquarters here, in payment of salaries. This mouey has been advanced by tho city in anticipation of the special tax levy of $50,000. 2s ow. however, in the face of this, it has been resolved by eight dilTcrent tstato commanders to issue orders advising Grand Army of the Republic men to keep away from the encampment unless a rate of 1 cent a milo is granted by tho railroads. The programme laid out is to hold simply a convention of delegates in Milwaukee instead of a national encampment, unless tho railroads agree to the terms laid down by the manacers of the Grand Army of the Republic. This is a very nice programme, and, if carried out. will undoubtedly cut oil a great deal of patronage from the railroads. Rut there is another phase to it which Milwaukeeans are not at nil slow in seoing. That is that if ouly a few hundred delegates are coming here there is no necessity lor making any speciM preparations for them. Last night, lor instance, before this action was known, the encampment council voted $7,500 for a grand naval battle. Now. a $7,500 naval battle for a few delegates is considered a tritle rich. Indeed, there aro a. large number of other features which aro to be considered. Tents and other sleeping accommodations havo been contracted for to accommodate at least 1300,000 veterans. If only n few hundred aro coming thoso orders will be promptly rescinded. Thero is also another feature of tho caso which was brought out by Colonel Watrous last evening, at tho meeting of tho encampment council. It is that if a convention of delegates alone is to bo held Milwaukee has no desire that it be held here. It has been understood that a national reunion was to bo hold here, and no side-show will be expected in its stead, Thero is at present a great deal of popular indignation at tho way in which matters have been conducted, and thero will be more in caso there is not a decided change in the management at once, For instance, an ollicial Grand Army of tho Republic organ was established hero and indorsed by the Grand Army otlicials. Milwaukee merchants advertised liberally in it in anticipation of a visit from thousands of veterans all over the country. If the present threats are carried out these veterans will bo kept away from Milwaukee, and Milwaukee merchants will be swindled out of just as much money as they invested in advertisiug in this ollicial organ. There aro a large number of other instances iu which money has been expended upon the representation that the great encampment was to be held here. A sharp and decisive turn is to bo taken at once if the talk of the business men of Milwaukee goes for any-' thing. Either all this talk and bluster is to be stopped, or the Grand Army of the Republic can go soinewhero else with its convention of delegates. A member of the encampment council said to-day that no further efforts would bo made to raise a guaranty fund, and that all work wonld bo stopped until tho matter was decided. Detroit Wants the Next EncampmentDktroit. July 4. At a citizens meeting held yesterday afternoon a committee of fifteen was chosen, with Mayor Pridgeon ns chairman, to attend the annual encampment of the G. A. R. at Milwaukeo for tho purpose of securing next year's encampment for this city. Tho project is looked upon with favor both in the city aud throughout the State. If the cunimitteeis successful. Detroit will cive the veterans a reception such as th beautiful City of the Straits ouly knows how to extend to its guests. Fought It Out Mi Hi Fatal Results. AsToniA, Ore., July 4. Jehu Roldt, u fisherman, who came here recently from Gloucester, Mass.. and John W. Lucas, a Canadian, quarreled over some salmon on Tuewlay. They agreed to settle their dispute with bare knuckles, under Queensberry rules. After fighting seven rounds Lucas was knocked out by a blew which broke his jaw. When ho regained con scionsnes he expressed his willingness to continue tho contest with either pistols or knives. Roldt preferred pistols, any they took positions twenty paces apart. Four shots wt ro exchanged. One of the bullets lodged in Uoldt's forearm, breaking the bono, and another iu Lucas's neck. Lucas's wound proved to be fatal, and Boldt has been arrested.

Unusually Large Number of Fatalities Chronicled Throughout the Couutry. An Immense Brewing Plant Destroyed hy Fire at Milwaukee, Entailing a Loss of Over $700,000 Fires at Otlier Places. A DAPS CASUAL1TTES. Many Persons Injured by the Fall of a Stand at Oklahoma City One Death. Oklahoma, Ind.T., July 4. Tho Fourth of July festivities wero brought to a sad ending at S p. 31. by the fall of the grand-stand, with its living load of human beings. Nearly 1,000 people had secured seats to witness tho races, when, without warning, the structure fell, burying tho mass of poo-J pie beneath it. The cries and groans of tho injured soon filled the air, and it was feared that scores of lives had been lost. Almost a3 soon . as tho accident occurred, tho militia, under command of Captain Stiles, were ordered to the scene, and rendered valuable services, preventing unnecessary confusion. Incredible as it may seem, it was found. when the victim's had all been taken out, that none were dead, though several were perhaps fatally, and many badly injured. Tho ouly death thus far is that of the eighteen-months-old child of Dr. J. A. Kyan, of Jimtown, Ind. T., which died a short time after tho accident. Ono of the most seriously injured is Mrs. D. IL Martindalo, of Howe, Tex. Mrs. M.Campbell, of Pearl's Valley, I.

Their names are: Nellie Burton, aged eighteen years; May Royal, aged sixteen years; Ida Cassiday, aged twenty-two years; Fauuio McComb, aged eighteen years, and Bert Freeman, aged twenty years. The five named,' together withEdward Shatter, took an old bargo and started for a ride on Connaquessing creek. Tho stream was very turbulent and the bargo capsized, throwing the occupants into the water. Young Shatter succeeded in reaching the shore, but the others went down before assistance could reach them. Tho victims wero all members of the Sunday-school, and lived in Allegheny City. Their bodies have not been recovered. Four Fatalities at Kansas City. Kansas City, July 4. Four fatalities occurred hero this evening, the result of various methods of celebrating the Fourth. A chance bnllet struck George Goggin in tho head and inflicted an injury from which h died shortly afterward. A bullet from an accidentally discharged revolver in a gun-shop pierced tho heart of Alexander McDougal, and killed him instantly. Bartender Brebecker, in a dispute over tho price of a round of drinks in his saloon, stabbed P. L. O'Brien in the groin. O'Brien will die. Thomas Alston, a colored man from Topeka, was hacked almost to pieces in a drunken row in one of the bottoms saloons. Ho died shortly afterwards.

The Dorchert Plant at Milwaukee Destroyed at a Loss of About 300,000. Milwaukee. July 4. The Falk, Jung t Borchert Brewing Company's plant, located on South Pierce street, between Twentyfourth and Twenty-iifth avenues, was destroyed by lire this afternoon. Not a building of the great plant whs spared. The fire originated in the malt-house, and spread with great rapidity, destroying the malthouse, the brew-house, the oitlces, the bottling department, and finally spreading to the beer cellars, which are at this hour (0 P. M.) btill banting. The total loss is esti

mated at from $700,000 to $800,000, and the insurance reaches only half of this sum. The beer-cellars contained 52,000 barrels of the amber tluid, and the bottling department was stocked with 6,000 more barrels ready for shipment to the South. As the brewery is located at the city limits it was very difficult for the firo department to do effective work, and two hours after the fire had started the great plaut was a mass of ruins. Tho cause of the fire is unknown, but is supposed to have been from overheating of the malthouse. The capacity of the brewery was fU0.000 barrels of beer per year, and three hundred men were employed in the establishment. The company was a consolidation of the firms of the Falk Brewing Company and tho Jung & Borchert Brewing Company, which were merged into one on Oct, 16, with a capital of $1,000,000. Very expensive improvements in the shape of additional machinery and such to the old Falk Brewing Company had just been completed, amounting to $100,000, and a new refrigerator, which alone cost fGO.OOO. had

just been put into place. All of this was uestroyed by lire. Sixteen large tanks of ammonia, used in connection with the refrigerator, exploded and helped to spread the tire to tho adjoining buildings, o one was seriously injured by the fire. Tho brewery will bo rebuilt immediately. Other Fires. Daytox. O.. Jnl v 4. Tho loss bv the Wolf fire last night is about $12,000: insurance, $3,000, in Mansfield, Eastern and home companies. Havre.

DESOLATED JOHNSTOWN Likely to Be Cleared of Kuins and Put in Order During the Next Two Months. JonxSTOWX, July 4. But little atten tion was given to tho celebration of inde pendence to-day, tho citizens being deeply impressed with their great sorrow. "Ex cursions from a number of points were had to this place, and the town was full of eight-seers. 'Early in tho morning John Donnelly, one of the carriers at the morgue, met with a tragio death, being run over by a freight train near the stone bridge. He was a stranger here, but it is thought his homo was in Troy, N. Y. Ho said Captain Lionnelly, of the New York police force, was his nncle, and undertaker Henderson telegraphed the chief of police of New York for information. If no word is received from his relatives he will be buried here. , The relief commission, with Governor Braver as chairman, will sit at Cresson next Tuesday, when it is expected that some conclusions will be reached as to the manner of distributing the relief fund. . Only two bodies were found to-day. They were the remains of young girls and were unrecognizable. Among the lists of valuables in charge of the committee hero is a trunk which from papers in the inside, is is supposed to belong to Florence Massey, of fcjan Fraucisco. Colonel Douglass resigned to-day as chief engineer, and General Hastings notified tho contractors to close up their work by Saturday of this week. After this week, tho wholo force of men will be reduced to 500. and will be under one contractor, and a local engineer will be in charge. With this force it is expected that about two months will bo required to complete the necessary work. This afternoon an Australian track laborer was fatally shot at Mineral Point by a Johnstown tough. Tho shooting was entirely unprovoked. The Australian was at work when the tough, whose name could not be learned, shot him because he could ns give him a chow of tobacco. The murd,';T is in jail. SWOLLEN RIVERS IN TEXAS. Great Damage Caused by Uiffh Water Near Fort Worth Homeless Families. Fort Worth, Tex., July 4.Scvcral iucbes of rain fell iu this part of the Stato yesterday, and great damage was done. Reports from.the west show heavy rains for 200 mile's. Tho Brazos and tho Trinity rivers are booming. At Benbrook. twelve miles west, the bridge of tho Texas & Pacifio and 500 feet of track was washed away. The St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas, for two miles, out is submerged. The Missouri. Kansas &. Texas, and the Fort Worth &, Denver have abandoned their trains north. The Texas & Pacitic has abandoned trains b oth east and west. At Fort Worth the bottom lands to the north for two miles, and to the east for a mile and a halt are submerged, and truck farms are gone. The Trinity rose four and a half feet in an hour, and the dwellers ou the low lands barely escaped. City Marshal Farmer. Sheriff Richardson and their entire force, for the time, became a rescuing corps, and manned tho boats which brought the people to tho city, where they aro quartered iu large warehouses.

Tho St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas opera tor last night received a message that the west fork of the Trinity was coming down with an eight-foot rise. Six inches more of water and the water-works will have to bo abandoned. Wheat, oats, fruit and cotton are badly damaged. The loss can hardly be computed, but conservative estimates place it as high as $2,000,000. There is some fear for the little villages along tho Trinity above Fort Worth, but there isxio telegraph communication, and nothing definite can be learned. At 1 o'clock this morning it was still raining heavily. Committed Suicide for Fear of Exposure. Kansas City, July 4. The dead body of Francis D. Cammann, president of the Kansas City ctirbing-works, was found in I no auey in tue rear oi fo. ii rioimes street this morning. A bullet-hole in the and a thirty-eight-caliber revolver, clasped in the dead man's right hand, showed, in all nrobabilitv, who was responsible for his death. Cammann lived at bo. iwj East Fifteenth street, with his wife and two children. Mrs. Cammann had noticed for some time that her husband was acting straugely, ana yesterday particularly so. He went down town in the evening. Nothing was seen of him until his dead body was found this morning. He evi dently fearctl arrest, for he had but a short time ago sold some mortgaged citveou tracts without releasing the mortgages. lie is known to have been mixed up in several crooked affairs, and some of his friends say he told them that plans were being formed by his former pals to assassinato him.

The morn ing opened with a brightening sky, and tho promise of clearing weather, 60 that farm ers at a distance were well under way for Roseland Park before tho clouds thickened and changed tho prospects for tho day. Before 10 o'clock it was drizzling. Nevertheless the crowd came, and was probably as large as last year. It was an enthusiastic and happy crowd of genuine New Englanders that cam to 6ee tho President and to hear tho ppeech, and was not to bo prevented by rain. During tho disposition of tho morning portion of the programme the rain did not seriously interfere with tho exercises. Congressman Russell, at 11 o'clock, rapped' the company to order, and after pleasant words of welcome to the President and other visitors, and to the people assembled, he nominated Governor Bnlkcley for chairman of the day. The Governor, in a brief speech, accepted the honor, and expressed his pleasure at officially welcoming and presenting to the audience tho President. Hearty applause and ringing cheers greeted the President as he arose. He spoke as follows: "Mr. President andFellow-citizens, Ladies and Gentlemen It is not my purpose to make an address to-day. I did not know until this morning that tho programme would contain any mention of my name at all; but it would be altogether uncivil if I did not. this opportunity being offered me. exprt s my thunka to thoso of you who aro gathered with tne this morning, and to him upon whose hospitable invitation yon have gathered for the friendly and cordial greeting which you havo given me. not only here to-day, but in my progress hither yesterday. JCries of 'Good) Vour patriotism has been put to the test by weather conditions as nnfavoraole as are possible in the summer season, but you will not, I am sure, bold me, responsible for the fact that the bureau having these conditionsrin charge has failed to nee tiro to you such weather as we would have desired to-day. I Laughter.j It is very gratifying to know that your love of country and your interest in the perpetuation and right observance of this pleasant celebration at Woodstockt has so perfectly triumphed over every impediment. I am sure I look into tho faces this morning of a body of citizens tilled with honest pride iu the story of their country, and full o( serious purpose to maintain those institutions from all taint of corruption or decay. 'We stand to-day as a nation fxr.cpt from all fears of foreign hurt. It is not in the power of any people upon earth much tp harm us, except our own people. Wo do not say this in any spirit of boastfulhcss. hut rather in one or thankfulness lor that divine Providence which has given us such location and assignment among the nations of the earth that no people of great power touches us on any side. All the more, exempt from thoughts of foreign assault. ought our thoughts to turn to dangers which are internal, and from which alone we can have serious harm. All the moro should every thoughtful citizen consider how he may promote the public wealr how he may hold up our institutions in honor among ourselves, securing and promoting, both in State and national legislation, those measures which have best promoted -not individuals, not the special but the general good of all the people. Applause. "I think such meetings as these the oldfashioned Fourth of July celebration have in them very instructive and elevating power. I think you should be, as doubtless yon are, very appreciative and grateful to him who has inaugurated, and with so much patience and intelligence perpetuated, these gatherings. I am' glad to bo hero with vou to-dav. I vam glad on this anniversary of that Declaration which, aft erwards established by arms, made us a Nation, seriously, as in the presence of Hifu whoso guidance has been conspicuously present in all our affairs, to unite with you in fresh consecration to duty and to the true weal and happiness of all our people. I desire to thank theso comrades of tho great army of tho Union for their escort and attendance here to-day. bureiy those who, in peril on tho red edge o battle. havo-ehown their love to the flag will not fail to be good citizens now that they have returned to these abodes of peace and civil pursuits. To all of yea who have gathered from theso Connecticut homes I desire to express my thanks for your kind and pleasant reception.

Hearty cheers, and cries of "Good."J As the President resumed his seat, three cheers were given with a wilL Senator Hawley was next introduced. and spoke briefly in advocacy of a worthy celebration of the Fourth of July. He said a nation which has no sacred days, no traditions, no bit of cloth to wave aud shout for is mighty poor; but a nation which has such days and traditions and such a flag, and does not improve them, is still worse and deserves to die. It was the boys who were taught to celebrate the Fourth of Jnly that saved the Union. 'General Hawlcy's address was off-hand but full of earnestness, and was greatly applaused. Associate Justice Miller followed. He made a short and excellent address. Congressman Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, was the next speaker. His subject was "The Victory." Among his utterances wero these: "It was no less a person, I believe, than the Duke of Wellington who remarked, There is only one thing more demoralizing 'than A ofe At. and that is vietorr.' 1 Iiath not taken the trouble to verify the citation because the truth is so solid and souud that it needs no buttress or support from eveu the most illustrious name. The Republican . a A. 1 A. party won a great victory aovemoer.

But something more thannostep backward is demanded by the people of the United States. It behooves the people, therefore, to consider just how mnch of power they have granted and just how much they have a right to require,"

Touching briefly the tariff question, the subject of pensions and the matter of national education, Mr. Reed continued: The ouestion of the snnnression of votes in the South most be met. not rashly noi angrily, but with a determination that in national elections, and wherever else they have tho right and. power, those who, by the Constitution ana law are entitled to help govern this country, shall help govern it. Applause. It will be the province, in due time, of the Republican members of Congress to say. not of their own sweet will, but after a full, free and impartial conference with all the Republicans, and representing them all, what measures shall be taken. Congress is never strong, except when the people are vigorously and vociferously behind it If you want Congress to do even what it wants to do itself, you had better help front' outside all you know how." After warmly denouncing the methods of filibusters in attempting to defeat tho public will, Mr. Reed added: "Unless some remedy be found, yon can expect nothing from the next Congress, or any other. But there is a remedy in plain sight, and that is pnblic sentiment. Let the people at largo but once understand tho facts about this practice of defeating the publio business, and he will be a bold man who attempts it in the future. If it were possible on the Fonrth of July, in a couutry of e7,a0,000 people, with wealth untold, to bo a little dismal, I should be so over the small attention Congress gets. That fiirht of dogs must be eventless, and that lady about to shine as a star on the dramatic stage mnst be press ing her divorce suit with great languor, if either cannot displace in any metropolitan iournal the regular proceediu gs of Con gress. suppose, however, we must take the bitter with the sweet, and if wo aro not photographed in our especially statesmanlike attitudes, wo escape display in gome others." When Mr. Reed had finished. Governor Bnlkeley introduced Secretaries Noble and Tracy. Neither was down on the pro gramme, but each made a few remarks in a patriotic strain. Thus was ended the morn ing progiamme. The first speaker of tho afternoon was President Gates, of Rutgers College, whoso subject was "Liberty through Allegiance to Law," President Gates considered liberty, as embodied in our institutions; tho tendency of local self-government to train free men; the law the basis of liberty: the birth of law from public opinion, and tho responsibilities of self-government. Ho urged protection lor the ballot-box; pointed out the relation of politics to morality: declared that preservation of government rests in lovo for it, and in closing used these words about the relation 'of society to the criminal: ' "Wedo not give the crim inal his rights unless we so maintain law and order that ho who thnistj hand or foot violentlv against law and right limln lis DUtiresses nrm ana unsnaKaoie, ana suffers a recoil that shocks and turns his whole system." Will Carlton then read, his poem, 'Rhymes to the Day," and Senator Hiscock got through part of his address on "American Political Pessimism;" but tho rain soon began to fall more heavily than ever, and Mr. Bo wen announced that the rest of the programme, consisting of tho doxology and the .benediction, would be carried through at his residence. Ihe following is an utterance from the speech of Senator Hiscock. which assumed added interest because of Bishop Potter's centennial sermon, in New York city, last April: "When the pesbimist, in this day, urges that our political leaders, executive and administrative otlicers, judges, Repr sentatives, Senators and the President, are not as upright in their lives, as unselfish in their motives, or ns patriotic and distinguished in their work as ..werevxhose whft preceded him, history justifies me in de- . nouncing the claim as absolutely unwar ranted and vicious." Congressman McKinley. of Ohio, was announced to be present and make an.address. bnt was unable to come on account of the illness of his wife. President Harrison will leave Putnam at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning for New Lon don, from Iew Loudon the entire nirtv will go to Newport iu tho Despatch. Newr Sort will be reached about 2 r. M. on Friay. President Harrison will leave Newport in tho Despatch at 11 p. m., on Friday, end will be in Jersey uity in time to take the 3:40 train for Washington on Saturday. THE BUDDING STATES. They Duly Celebrate Their Emancipation from Territorial Swaddling Clothes. ' St. Paul, July 4. To the average North western mind ordinary methods of celebrating the Fourth of Jnly to-day seemed to be entirely inadequate to give expression to the pent-up rejoicings of the people who were bidding farewell to their territorial swaddling clothes and 6trctching their limbs as full-fledged members of Uncle Sam's "stately" family. Tho receipt of the news of the passago and signing of the famous "omnibus bill" while tho snow was still on the ground was the signal for an impromptu Fourth of July celebration, but tho people choso tho great centennial inde pendence day for their greatest rejoicing, that day having been set by Congress a the time for them to meet and perfect their State constitutions. The two Dakotas felt an added cause for rejoicing in the beginning of the end in the negotiations for tho opening of tho great Sioux reservation to settlement, and from every littlo settlement, with its metropolitan hopes and aspira tions, as well as from the more pretentious cities of the former Territories, come reports of great rejoicing over their realization of their labors of these many years. It is now six weary years since the hghtfor statehood was started, but tho men who began the tight have been able to see its successful completion, and from them wero heard to-day eloquent tributes to tho greatness of the States they celped to build out of what was onco thought to be trackless and barren desert. Every little hamlet heard from its own orators, and had its own celebration, but there was some sort of a State celebration at odo or two pointv in each of the budding States. Bismarck did tho honors for North Dakota, and welcomed the constitutional convention in royal 6tyle. National and State troops were assisted by local and State organizations, while forty-two handsomely-dressed little girls represented the lorty-two stars that now shine so brightly in the national firmament. With banners, cannon, Are-works, sports and oratory, the rejoicing of the people fouud vcnL Trains from all parts of the new State of North Dakota gave additions to the happy crowds. While in North Dakota one celebration was looked after by all, in Sonth Dakota the people were unable to condense their enthusiasm to that extent. At Huron, where the Constitution of 18S5 located the capital, a big celebration was held, with Hon. S. S. Cox as orator of the day. At Chamberlain the Sioux commissioners weremnstered into service, and with thefnrther help of 300 Indians from the Lower Brulo agency, the day was gloriousW observed. Sioux Falls, however, was tho central point of the South Dakota celebration, for it was there that the first State convention for South Dakota was called to order at noon. The day was dovoted tc merry-making as the bet incansof eviucinjj the happiness of the people, while tho orators of the das were selected from the eloquent and talented politicians who are in that city iu attendance on the convention. looking past the flags and bunting of the Dakotas there is to be found a continuation of the gala attire and joyful noisef of statehood in the Mountain "Stat for Montana was not to be outdone by hei more easterly sisters in the jollification. Helena, the capital city, was the central point of the rejoicings, where delegates t" the constitutional convention held forth eloquently on the benefits of statehood. Other points in Montana were patriotically following in tho wako of their chief city. The most northwesterly of the States, the fertile aud beautiful Washington, felt that
