"When a Btranger stands on a public square in Denver, spits on his hands and cries out "climb on to me by thousands!" even the Mayor pulls off his coat and goes out to make the response a success. Detroit Free Press. - Here, when the Chief of Police tries to "climb" one individual in presence of the Mayor, the latter very complaisantly looks on to see-fair-play and enjoys the muss equal to an old "sport" witnessing a cock fight!

The Republican nominating election takes place on the 15th of next month. Remember the time. Milton was visited by thieves on Friday " night. "They entered Mr. Kern's store, and hauled off a wagon load of valuable goods. A mad-dog scare was gotten up at 'A. Bescher's, on Pearl street, one day last week, which resulted in slaying the ugliest puppy ever brought to town. Master Zack, after an absence of over a year in Liepsic, Germany, returned to his home, in this city, Saturday morning last, in good health, and well pleased with his visit. Water-melons and nutmegs have appeared in our market. The Inter-Ocean, of the 24th, contained ninety-six pages. The delin- ' qucnt tax list increased it to that enormous size. Nearly all the real estate in Cook county, and city of Chicago, is returned delinquent. E. J. Iliff and lady, after an absence of several weeks visiting friends in Ohio and elsewhere, returned to their home on Saturday last. C. C. Beeler had seventeen fat hogs to die one day last week. They were in a stubble field, and, as there was but little water in the field, it is sup-
., posed they died of thirst. ' ' Tom Rose has purchased the south half of French's new building, on North Fifth street, for 6,000. The latter is to have it ready for occupancy by the first of September. The Board of County Commissionera meet in regular session on the first Monday of September. A little daughter of A.C.Brown, who resides a short distance north of Centerville, while out playing, a few days ago, bad the ill luck to step into a pile of live coals and severely burned one of her leet. . Beverly Miner injured himself, a few days ago, loading wheat, so severely that it is with great difficulty he is able to get about. Sunday is recorded in several places as the hottest day of the season. At 2 o'clock p. m. the mercury rose to 96 in the shade. A shooting match comes off at the Fair Grounds to-day. A great amount of fun is anticipated among the 'sports." We had glorious rains here Saturday, Sunday and Monday last, thoroughly soaking the ground. The numerous friends of C. R. Johnson, Esq., will rejoice to learn that he is convalescing, and will be about apain in a few days. Charles W. Burkhart has a lot of pumbkins, of last year's growth, as sound and perfect, to all appearances, as they were when taken from the vine. George II. Benton Monday last in attempting to step from the street to the pavement, near the corner of Fifth and Main, his foot slipped, throwing his head with great force against the curb stone. The injury sustained is said to be severe.
There was a devilish attempt made on Monday morning to assassinate one
of our old and respected citizens.
Five pistol shots were fired at him.
Fortunately none of them took effect uDon the intended victim. A warrant

A TERRIBLE FLOOD. Over Two Hundred Utm I.ont.
ONE HUNDRED DEAD BODIES ALREADY RECOVERED.

ENTIRE FAMILIES SWEPT AWAY BY WATER.
Pittsburg. July 27. The storm of
last night was the most terrible that
ever, visited this city, and the loss of life is fearful. The great fire of '45, the arsenal calamity, and the flood of '32, sinkinto insignificance when contrasted with the storm king that devastated portions of two cities last night. There was a perfect deluge of water for about an hour an a half, and the lightning and thunder were terrific. It is impossible to give the exact number of lives lost, but it is said that close to one hundred bodies have been recovered already, and that yet there are quite a number missing. In Spring Garden and Butchers' Runs, both of
which are thickly populated, houses were waslied to pieces, and the water rose so rapidly that many people did not realize their danger until they were surrounded with the ans-ry waters, and there was no means of es
cape. In Saw-mill Run the freshet
was equally as great, and the loss of
life fully as disastrous. Whole families have been swept out of existence

1 er than at first supposed. It is now
j thought the total loss of life will not be short of two hundred, and the loss : of property is proportional. The
i Evening Chronicle in its 5 o'clock edi-

Who Have Been Secretaries of
Treisory. Now that the Sanborn investiga . tion committee is directing a large share of public attention to this very necessary adjunct of the national government, it might be worth while to see who have been prominent as its officials from tbo commencement of administration up to the present time. Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary, was only thirty two years of age when President Washington called him to office. It can be said truly that he laid the very founda tions of the department, and for six years labored zealously to perfect its organization. The next most prominent Secretary was
Albert tiallatin. tie was born in
Switzerland, and from his very ear best years showed an extraordi nary aptitude for finance. Having
become naturalized and settled m
Pennsylvania, President Jeffeison appointed hini to office in 1802 He
served long and faithfully, and died in .1849, in his seventieth rear
Monroe's administration was noted
for the superb management of the
treasury department by the celebrated Wiliarn H. Crawford, of
Georgia. There seemed, indeed, to be giants in finance in those days.
Under the administration of John
Quincy Adams, Richard Rush, of Pennsylvania, was Crawford's im mediate successor. The two reign of Jackson brought to the treasury
a host of strong- men, such as
Samuel D. Ingham,of Pennsylvania, Louis McLane, of Deleware, Wil
liam J. Duane, of Pennsylvania,
Rodger B. Tanney of Maryland,
and Levi Woodburry, of New Hamp
siiiro. Yoodburry remained, m
office after Gen. Jackson went out,
served all through the administra
tion or Van Uuren, and nad as successor, Thomas Ewin, of Ohio,
while Harrison reigned briefly, and
Walter lorward of Pennsylvania, and George Bibb, of Kentucky,
under the Tyler regime. Polk's secretary was Robert J.
Walker, of Mississippi, a man of
extraordinary financial ability
Under Taylor, William Meredith,
of Pennsylvania, made an excellent officer, and under Fillmore, Thomas
Cor win of Ohio was called to suc
ceed Meredith. James Guthrie, of
Kentucky, was Secretary under Pierce, Howell Cobb, of Georgia,
under Buchanan, and succeeding
Cobb were Francis Thomas, of
Maryland, and John A. Dix of New
York.
Then came the war, and the appointment bv Lincoln of Salmon
P. Chase of Ohio.. In 1864 Chase
gave place to Fessenden; in 1865,
Hugh McCulloch of Indiana, sue
ceedod Fessenden, as Johnson's
Secrealry, and when Grant was elected, George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, McCulloch. Last, and from Mrssachusetts, the coun try has William A. . Richaidson. St. Louis Dispatch.
An observant Republican, who
has had occision to spend some
time recently in several counties of the Third Congressional District, and who studied the political situa
tion closely, informs us that the outlook there is decidedly cheering
for the Republican party. The
Democracy, are greatly disorganized on State and local issues. General James A. Cravens, who is running as an independent Democratic candidate for Comxress,
against Mr. Kerr, will be supported
by the Republicans, and will also
receive many Democratic votes. In
every county visited by our inform
ant, he found more or less Dtmo
crats who were disgusted with the
position of the party on the temperance question, and openly
expressed their intention to vote
the Repubhcan ticket. The Dem
ocracy may yet find that in their
extreme anxiety to make favor with
the saloon keepers they have lost in
other directions. Ind. Jour.

A special from Winona to the
Press says that the telegraph operator at Marshall, Minn., telegraphs
that the settlers of Lake Sheteek were panic stricken by the appear ance of a warlike band of Sioux,
who were heavily armed and made hostile demonstrations. Many set tiers left their homes, scattered, left everything and fled to Marshall.
At the latter place a larger than usual number of Indians were no ticed in town, and their manner
was very bold and defiant. One of
them boasted that he had taken six
scuIds within the past few days.
He probably lied. Lake Sheteek

Monday last two citizens said to be good citizens met for the purpose
of settling a small business trans

some misunderstanding arose and the
parties warming up as their conversation progressed, until matters passed
fiom words to blows,
each other and tore their cloxaes in
a terrible manner. They were separated, taken beforo the Mayor and confessed their fault. That little misunderstanding cost one $10.90 i nd the other $11,15, and the two dollars and twenty-five cents unpaid, to be adjusted at some future time.
We returned from the Cambridge
Convention with our Republican faith and ardor renewed, more than ever
convinced that the Republican party should continue to administer the affairs of Government, State and National. Men are nothing ; principles everything. It matters but litile who it is that represents us so that he shall represent us faithfully anl honestly, and never allow the principles of our great party, that has accomplished so much for the good of this government and humanity, to be defeated or in any way jeopardized. Ben. Claypool has a history with the Republican party. For almost a lifetime he has maintained and defended its principles He
and Jittered ,nnot,tv an. intPfrritv
have . never been doubted. That he
will be elected we have no doubt, and he should, as the representative of the principles of the Republican party, receive the united support of every Republican. Let all personal feeling, il any exist, be forgotten, and our party principles maintained at all hazards. Liberty Herald.
Phil. Wiggins came very near being victimized in a cattle trade again. One day last week a man called on him to sell some beef cattle. The price was named and agreed to the cattle to be delivered next morning. Morning came and so did the cattle, driven by two men; but, from some cause or other, perhaps it was the early hour, for it was about daylight, Mr. Wiggins' suspicions were aroused, and be began to question the men as to their honesty in the transaction. The result was that one cf them fled and the
other was captured and lodged in the
station house to await further develop
ments. The cattle belong to Martin
Worrel, who resides near. Jackson-
burg, in this county. Word was sent to him he came here on Monday and identified the cattle and theif too.
An examination was had before the
Maj'or which resulted in recognizing
the individual to appear at the next

Explosion of Nix Oil Tanks. Three Men Killed and their Bodies Burned. A terrible explosion occurred at the Standard Oil Works near Forest street crossiug, on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, at an early hour Thursday morning. Robert McDon-. aid, Charles McFarlin, and Christ Osterlin were engaged in drawing : crude oil from a train of oil tanks into
the reservoir below by means of ppes. One man went on top oue ot the tanks to open the man-hole, when the gis from the oil ignited from the lautern which the man carried, and exploded '. with terrific force. The men were thrown some distance Irom the cars, their bodies covered with burning oil and completely surrounded by flames, j No help could reach them, and not 1 until the fire had abated were their ! crisped remains recovered. McDonald : and McFarlin were single men, and ! Osterlin was married. Six oil tanks I exploded one af ter the other scattering burning oil in every directiou. The
i sheds along the railroad track were destroyed, and it was only through the
well directed and strenuous enorts ot the firemen and citizens that a widespread conflagration was prevented. The loss is about $35,000 ; uninsured. A Fascinating l,ile of Sumner. It is announced that Henry W. Longfellow will write the life of Charles Sumner. The announcement will be received with general delight. Mr. Longfellow has for years been the most widely read of our American poets. He was one of Sumner's closest friends. They were drawn together by the sympathies and kinship of men of culture. Longfellow's prose works have marvelous grace and elegance and softness, though they are without marvelous force. He would be a tender biographer, for the man "whose choicest verse is harsher toned than he" would touch the portrait of
his dead trieml with loving partiali-
