The town of I'ristol was a heavy sufferer during the stoiin of a few weeks ago, when six men lo: their lives, but the waste of water Sunday eclipses all previous records. At Urooklyn a mill owner lost his life, and several accidents are reported from oilier points. The heavy rain and melting snow on the mountains swelled the basin of the old copper mine dam in Whiggsville, until it burst, tearing away lou feet wide in the granite masonry and letting a voluni" of water covering seventylive acres and forty feci high inio the river below, which ir-elf was a roaring delude. The great bdy of water tore d.wn 'he alley with a roar that was liea rl above the noise of the storm for miles away. The roar of the flood aroused families for miles :;r.;:nd and many people whose houses the Hood had Hot reached packed up what effects they eould in anticipation of being summarily evictid. The highv;iy bridges on nearly all roads crossing the Pequaba.-k were swept away. The lowtr stories of doeus of houses were cover d w ith watt 1 all the morning, and mudi property in the cellars was. ruined. United Stute Consulate Attacked.

It. C. Dun c fo.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "In some quarters business gains: at the West, rather than at the J last, but there is no general ehanjre for the better, al-though hopefulness still predominates. The want of Millicient demand for the products of great industries still retards actual improvement. Strikes of some importance in garment making and kindud lines affect trade in Chicago and Halfan-. re. but there are fewer labor dillicullies than usual, as existing toiuiititois warn wage-earners that controversies at this lime are unwise."'

X-fX X-fX X-f X-rX X '-iX Vi e President Stevenson was unable to repress the wild enthusiasm with which the galleries responded to the Hoor when Cuba's cause was being argued before the Senate Friday, and in spite of all the rules, and threats to clear the galleries, the spectators applauded i' every way when the linal vote was taken, passing the resolutions which were intended not willy to recognize the belligerent rights of the Cuban patriots, but also to express the sentiment of Congress that the time had come when Spain s&ould grant iudeSKXATOi: A'F.ST. pentlciice to the island, either voluntarily or ly the armed intervention of the United States. Farly in the afternoon, say? a Washington correspondent, the sentiment among the Senators themselves apparently rose to fever heat, and it was easy to see that Cuba after many long delays had its day in court. The resolutions which were passed not only recognize the fact that there is a state of war existing in the Island of Cuba, but also in effect suggest that the friendly oflices of the Fnited States should be offered by President Cleveland to the Spanish (Jovernineiit in the direction of securing the independence of Cuba. No one doubted that when the Senate finally got to work there would be a practically unanimous sentiment in favor of the Cuban insurgents, but recent events have h.'-tened matters considerably, and the arrival of Cept.

island with his prompt prouunclamentos of coming butchery, and his past record in that direction stirred up even the oldest and most conservative Senators to a pitch of sympathy and enthusiasm width was as genuine as it was unusual in the Senate chamber. An 1 in prt'wsi vc Berne. There have been few more impressive scenes in that historic room than when Senator Sherman denounced the butcheries in the Island of Cuba, and declared it to be his solemn -iviction that unless a stop were put to them no mortal power could prevent the people of the United States from themselves marching over to the island of Cuba and setting it free, without waiting for slow Covcrniental processes. When he expressed his opinion on the sympathy of the American public the galb-ries burst into a long roll of spontaneous applause. Men ami women uniting in their manifestations of. approval. This is entirely against the rules of the Senate, but the Vice President and the Ser-jreant-at-Arms were powerless in the fact? of the people themselves who had come to see the first step taken toward Cuban freedom. At frequent intervals iu the proceedings the galleries took part, in pite of all threats to clear the seats. The vide of ", to l. is a sufliricnt indication of the feeling of Congress, fr the Senate is always the more conservative lnttly ami least liable to be led away by popular clamor. As soon as the resolutions were passed in the Senate they were brought over to the House and were there received with cheers. . There was a good deal of careful maneuvering required to put the resolutions in a fchnpe which wou'd not eiuimrran ih

administration. A'though the Constitt tion requirtH ail resolutions to be submitted to the President before taking effect, it has been the custom of Congress not to send concurrent resolutions to the Whit House. They have been used only in expressing the opinion of Congress and are employed on matters which do not need legislative approval. In the present case it was desired only to express to the world that the American Congress was in favor of recognizing the Cuban patriots as belligerents, and als,i to put on record the belief that the time for securing the independence of the island was at hand. It was not desired to have them signed by the President, because if that were required it might embarrass him in his diplomatic correspondence with Spain relative to the possible independence vi Cuba. Conurcss the Kcsponsihlc Hotly. Tiie stand taken by the administration throughout the Cuban affair has been that inasmuch as the Fnited States have a treaty with Spain they are bound to observe its provisions. In his first message the President stated pretty clearly thai the responsibility for any action, as far as Cuba was concerned, lay with Congress. All that he said was that Spain, being a friendly nation, must have the bench t of her treaty. Friends of the President declare that he has never been other than wiliing to grant belligerent rights to Cuba, but that he is distinctly unwilling to as-mme responsibilities in the matter which should be shouldered by Congress. Congress alone t an declare war. and the President is decidedly unwilling to take the initiative in a matter that may cause active hostilities with Spain. He is known to have declared himself recently to one of his friends in the Senate, and is represented as saying: "Let Congress pass a joint resolution declaring it wants Cuba recognized and Cuba will be recognized."' Xo one expects Spun to let the island go without a struggle, but it was considered to be the only proper thing for this country to do to make a peaceable proposition first and then, in case that were rejected, to secure independence by armed intervention if necessary. Vest for Cubans. A stirring speech by Mr. Vest in behalf of Cuba was the event of Thursday in the Senate. It came unexpectedly, and served to arouse enthusiasm. The Senate had agreed that the final vote on the Cuban resolution would be taken at 4 p. in. Friday, ami the debate was proceeding, Mr. White of California and Mr. (J ray of Delaware contending as a legal proposition that the Fnited States could" not at this time recognize Cuba's independence. This aroused Mr. Vest, tirst, for question, then for remonstrance, and then to out? of the bursts of eloquence with which he at limes electrihrs the Senate. He spoke of Spain as the toothless old wolf who had had lost one by one all her litter, and was still clinging to this single remaining cub. lie pictured Spain as the impotent giant of Despair in the Pilgrim's Progress, gazing on defeat. In impassioned words he ap.i"ir.:-i.etl liberty in periods of rare beauty and fervor, adding with ringing emphasis llkat the Cuban patriots would never, never, never again become the unwilling subjects of Spain.

CLEVELAND'S BIRTHPLACE. An Irreverent und Soulless Trollcy Compaiiy About to Cut It in Two. The little parsonage of the First Presbyterian Church at Caldwell. X. .1.. the birthplace of President Cleveland, is in danger of being demolished by an irreverent trolley company and a soulless corporation. The parsonage is a pretty wooden structure two stories high. It sets back from the road iu Uloomlield avenue, as tine a driveway as ;in be found in Xew .It rsey.' Fnfortunately this little house is in a direct line, according to the surveyors' plans, with the tracks of the trolley. The church itself will not be interfered with, but the house will have to be ra.eil to the ground 1 make room for the car tracks. The trustees of the township of Caldwell hold the right to a part of tin; principal thoroughfare, and they object to the destru'-tion of this memorable spot. The North Jersey Traction Company, on the other hand, are lighting tooth ami toenail for the trolley road franchise, and C.KOVKK ( I.F.VKI.AXDS I'.IKTII PLACi:. tTh dotted line tdiows where the track would lome.) are leaing no stone unturned to secure it.

When this began to improve a liver trou'n'e that had attacked Mr. Morden some years ago began to assert itself, and also svniptni of a recurrence of paralysis, with which lie was first attacked seven years ago. The physicians incline to the opinion that blood poisoning from the parrot's bile was the principal cause of death. Mr. Mrdcu was ;." years old. a capitalist, inventor and head nl' one of lie greatest railway supply manufactories in tiie country. He was born in Paitfsviile.

OCEAN LINERS ALWAYS RACING.

At the Top of Their Speed Whether or Not a Rival Is in Sight. Discussing; the grounding; f the American liner St. Paul, the a reut of a rival Atlantic line said: "The newspapers that jump tip and liowi that this accident was lue to the fact that the Si. Paul was lat ins' with the Campania, r.:nl then print long stories about 'the crime' of ocean racing, simply don't know what they are talking about. Why. you know and everybody eis. who will stop ;t moment to think will see that the big liners are nlway racing-that they have to race. The moment the boats on ..ur line tunny other line reach Sandy Ho;k going out they put on all steam ami go it for nil they are worth. They don't go a bit faster because another boat happens to be in sight. They can't go any faster. If they don't tb their best on all occasions they wouldn't get the postal contracts, ami they would lose the government subsidies. Another reason they get liiere as quick as they can is that the quicker the trip is made the less money it costs the company. "Rut. above all. the public ought b understand ami the newspapers ought to tell them so, instead of denouncing the companies, that fast traveling on the ocean is just as safe ami a great deal more comfortable than slow traveling is. Can v hi point to a single instance where an accident to a steamship on the sea :is tine in the speed at. which she was going; There is not one. If you look at the record you will lind that there are proportionately fewer accidents to ibe fast boats of the big lines than there are to the slow boats. It's the same on the v.tter as it is on the land. It is the slow coach train that gets wrecked live times out of six. Fast trains don't run off the track or smash things or break down. If they do happen to break down the tools are there to li x them ami the hands are the no ist skilled that money can obtain. So on the great ships. The ollicers ami the men are a higher grade of men than are employed mi the slow boats ami there Is everything on board of a great, swift ship to repair almost any damage that can possibly happen. Hut I was talking about racing. I want to say there is positively no more racing when two beats are running side by sitle than theie is when both are a thousand miles apart."- Xew Vol k Sun. Uotli Sides. Mrs. Savage was a woman greatly liked jtml respected in lite neighborhood in which she lived, ami her even disposition was of leu praised by her neighbors, who were apt to be rather plain-spoken in regard to her husband': n ritable temper. "I don't see bow it is, Aunt Temperance, that you nr always so quiet When Fnele Icliabod begim: to fret about useless Illings. You never say a word," remarked her niece, w ho bad been staying at the fannUouse for several w'eeks. and had heard Icliabod's frequent complainings. Mrs. Savage smiled placidly, as she answered: "I'm most afeanl. Miranda, that you haven't paid strict attention to what your uncle was saying at the times you mention; because, if you had. you'd 'a' seen that be tbui't need anybody to reply to him; he reasons with himself, sti to speak, and presents my views a sight better than I could. Von just give attention Ibe next time you bear him a-d'Kputing. and you'll see that I've in occasion to disturb myself." The opportunity for listening to Mr. Savage was soon given: ""Taint 1:0 place to put a chair out on that back stoop," began I n de Ichabod. "Put it's kind of a ple.'.sant place to sit," be went 011. in a milder tone; and then, raising his voice: "1 don't care it 'lis; the t hait'll be spoiled: it'll be left out in all kinds of weather, and 1 won't have it there.' Then, with just a suggestion of a pause, his voice fell again, ami he continued: "A wooden i -hair tlon'l spoil very easy, ami that's one of the kitchen chairs that never was painted.' "Xever Mas painted!" be repeat et 1 ill a louder tone. "There 'tis! .lust because anything ain'i fixed up to kill 'taint any use" ami he lifted the chair and moved it lo ibe other side of the stoop. "Perhaps if it's over this sitle it will be more sheltered," tanie bis milder tones, ami thei: "All the talking 1 do tlon'l do a speck of gootl. not a speck. 1 might just :is well never say a word," ami sitting down in the offending chair. Cmie lchahohl began fanning himself with bis big straw bat. while Miranda and her aunt exchanged g'ances of understanding. "Tenderloin Police Precinct." The Tenderloin Pre-inet is the name given the .Nineteenth Police Precinct in New York.
