DURING a terrific storm at Bull Creek, six miles above Maysville, Ky., two dark clouds met and burst. The creek jumped over its narrow banks and swept away like driftwood several dwelling houses and their frightened occupants. The stone culvert on the Chesapeake and Ohio Kailroftd over Bull Creek was washed out into the river, and, while the storm was at its height, a west-bound (freight train ran into the washout, cans- it fearful wreck. The engine and nine­ teen cars were piled one upon another, ialmost out of sight in the creek bot­ tom. Engineer Boadcap, Fireman Hon- aker, aod Brakeman Eaton were buried fceneath the wreck. Conductor W. B. Watts and Brakeman W. A. Lowe jumped from the hind car and escaped unhurt. A fast wrecking train on its way to the scene ran over Frank Scott, a colored employe, and killed him. About a dozen persons living on the banks of Bull Creek are reported drowned.

The vast bufldiug was crowded ana many of the distinguished men of the city and State were in the audience. The sub .1«»ct of the popular orator waa "The World's Fair," and he did ample jnstice to it. When the prolonged applause with which the distinguished guest of the Press Club was'greeted had ceased that gentleman advanced a step or two nearer the footlights, as if to be in closer communion with his auditors, and began his "talk" with no further preliminaries than to explain that he was ill and hardly equal to the occa­ sion. Indeed he evidently was not ex pectlng to faeo such an audienco as he saw before him. Possibly he had just a tinsre of "stage fright," for his first few sentences were uttered in a voice which hardly penetrated to the depths of the great hall. But his voice seemed to strengthen as ho progressed, and he soon ftad everybody en rapport with him. It was soon c.videut that he was prepared to furnish an oratorical feast, and he did it. His remarks were fre­ quently interrupted by applause, which at times was extremely enthusiastic. Speaking of the benetits to be de rived from the fair Mr. Depew said: . "Above and beyond the material re suits of this exhibition will be its stimu­ lating influences iipon the patriotism ol the people and the unity of the nation CHAUNCT DEPEW. It Is one of the parodoxes of progress that diffuse and universal intelligence tends to provincialism and local pride, and the refinement of the intellect to angles and points. There was a time when the Weekly Tribune reached every town in tW West, and Horace Greeley's opinions were the bond of common sentiment and national union, but the press associations distribute with impartial hand the news of the world to the newspapers of every city in the land. The result is that the journals of every town go to the public only as far as. the train can carry them during the morninghour or before the family clock strikes the note for retiring. Universal circula­ tion all over the country is no longer possible to any newspaper, and the edi­ torials of the local press mold the opin­ ions of their people. Under these con­ ditions the New York editor does not write for Chicago nor the Chicago edi­ tor for St. Louis. If the Eastern or Western, or the Southern or Pacific coast press tjtea* at ail the interests of other sections ItMs too often in an un­ friendly and critical spirit. It is in tone ' which depreciates or assails their distant countrymen, and makes them not only rivals, but enemies. From this cause multitudes in the east believe the West given up wholly to the pursuit of money, and do- ficfent in the culture and refinement of long organized and intelligent communi­ ties. Multitudes in the West regard the people of the East a9 effete and weak- excrescences upon the body politic, or leeches in the form of gold bugs and coupon cutters. The press of the South inculcates a sectional Dride and sen­ sitiveness which suspect an enemy in the mildest critic and hostility in every other section. But the fierce light of universal publicity which will beat upon this exhibition and the commingling here of citizens from every part of the union will do much to demonstrate that we are one people, with common in­ terests and a common destiny. With the broad, generous, and cath­ olic spirit whieh will inspire visitors tc this exhibition, the West will discover that the East, with its conservatism, in­ tellectuality, and prosperity, has not lost its vigor, and the hast wiN find that the Wrest, with its stalwart force and push and drive, lsabroast with the East in intelligence, culture, and refinement. While the East and the West will meet the South here with fraternal greetings and reciprocal respect the representa­ tives from every State will learn anew the lesson that peace, prosperity, and power can bo strengthened and perpet­ uated only in the federal union. Let this international fair be held; lettliefour hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus be celebrated; let it be commemorated by an industrial exhibition grander in extent and volume than any over seen before; let the old world know what their children have done in the new; let the stars and stripes afloat from every roof and turret and flagstaff; let the bands announce the opening and closing of the fair each day with the inspiring strains of our national anthem, and we will sepera/ie from this grand communion impressed more deep­ ly than ever before with the fact thai the proudest title on earth is that oi an American citizen." THE SKNAJTE IS SLOW. Far Behind the House la Important Legislation. Washington dispatch: Heretofore the Senate has been far in advance of the House in the necessary work of the session at this period. This year, how­ ever, the Senate has fallen to the rear, particularly with reference to the general appropriation bills, of which the Senate has passed on five only, and of these five two still remain in the hands of the conference committee. The Legislative, executive, and judicial bill, which is the most Important of the money bills, was passed by the House six weeks aga The consular and diplomatic bill was passed four weeks ago, and the fortifications bill was Dassed five weeks ago, yet neither of these measures has been act­ ed upon by the Senate. In addition to those named, the river and harbor bill was given to the Senate last week, so that there are now in the possession of the committees of that body four gen­ eral appropriation bills. Of the remain­ ing bills of this character th£ postoflice, agricultural, Indian, sundry civil, and general deficiency are yet to be report­ ed to the House. The three measures first named are in charge of the postoflice, agricultural, and Indian committees respectively, and the sundry civil, and general defi­ ciency bills are in charge of the commit* toe on appropriations. now follows. In this a counter of heavy rubbtsr is put around the heel, the point being in line with the bacK •earn, the edges being carefully ^roiled down." Then a vamp of heavy rubber --tLe "tongue"--exactly covering tbe vamp lining. The sides of this extend around the counter, and are distin­ guished by two side seams. These seams are then run over with a "double stitcher," which is similar to a pair of sharp tracing wheels, and which not only help fasten the rubber to the ce­ mented surface beneath, but also make a very neat finish. After this the vamp is cut out around the outfiller, and the bottom of the boot receives a coat of cement which is to hold the sole on. When the boot is dry it is ready for the fourth stage, which is "soling." To digress a little, a sole is in four pieces,, and is made up for the boot­ maker in the soling-room. These four parts are a fiber and rubber "form," a thin rubber "sole-piece," a "top," and a heel. These are put together and are seut to the boot-room to be covered with the strongest possible rubber ce­ ment on the bottom and edge». The sole is attached to the partly finished boot at the toe, brought over to the heel that tiie latter may hit straight. Then the heel is hammered, the sole roiled, the edges rolled down in the vamp and counter, the last seams are stitches, and the boot passes on to the varnishing-room and then to the vul- cauizer. Romance of an Umbrella. "Perhaps there is no such thing as fate, but I'm blessed if I don't beliewa in it," remarked T. A. Fiske. of Luzerne, N. Y., to a»PhiIadelphia Press reporter. "We had a wedding up our way, in which Jerome Wood and Miss Annie Hodgson played the leading parts. In 1887 Miss Hodgson, while working in an umbrella factory at Sheffield, England, wrote her name and address, just for fun, on the inside of an umbrella which she had just com­ pleted. "The umbrella was placed in the stock, and, with hundreds of others, shipped to the United States. It warf purchased by Mr. Wood. He carried it for several weeks before discovering the name on the inside. Then he wrote to the young lady and she answered the letter, Tbe correspondence thus started •yas continued until the young lady came to this country and took Bp her residence in Troy, where she assumed the position of housekeeper for her brother. "After some time she went to Palm­ er's Falls and then to Racquette Lake, in the Adirondacks, where she was employed in a hotel. It so happened that Mr. Wood was employed on the lake also, and it was on that lovely sheet of water that the two first met. They fell in love at once, and the knot has now been tied and the honeymoon is being enjoyed." MRS. LU8HLEY--And there1 you were, when the policeman found you at three in the morning, hugging a cigar sign. Oh, it's just awful. Mr. Lushley--My dear, il surely is not possible Umi you ar« jealous of a cigar sign. IKS VMIPM STAGES of Hie Opera*ton APTLY COmXG Described. It is forty years, observes the India- rubber World, since the first rubber boot was made, and a very clumsy specimen of foot-wear it was. Prior to* this the old-fashioned rubber shoe was in existence, but not much worn, and ifc was called galoshe. The styles of boots now made are nearly identical in all of the leading rubber companies, each, however, having some strengthing device of more or less excellence upon which they pride themselves". All boots are made by hand upon wooden "trees," which are prepared of carefully seaspned maple. The seasoning is necessary, else the trees would shrink in vulcanization and become worthless. Iron trees have been used, but are practically "barred out" by their great weight. . A well-arranged boot-room has first a wide center circle running its whrle length, through which run car tracks for the easy removal of the finished boots to the "heaters." Running from this main passage way are the "alleys" of the workmen, in front of each* of whom is a long table, fitted with a rack capable of holding fifteen pairs of boots. A portion of his table is padded and re­ served for the work of making up, the tools for this being simply a small hand roller, stitcher, a knife, and a cement cup and brush. As the various pieces that aire to be joined together to . make the perfect boot are brought in "books" to the boot-maker, they are first laid over the table and cemented with a paste made of rubber and benzine. The first step then is the lasting. A tree is put upon the "block" with the foot upward, and the leg-lining, of felt usually, is wrapped round it, aud connected at ihe heel by a bit of "piping." The edges are then lapped one upon the inner sole where they stick fast. The lining is then seatned up the back by drawing the piping edge over the rubbe! coating. Next the lining is fastened at the top of the tree to make it firm and also, to take out any looseness that may be in it. Then the foot-lining is connected at the instep and lapped over on the inner sole. A rag filler is the next necessity, to fill the space left on the sole between the lower edges of the leg-lining. Over this, and indeed on the whole bottom of the boot, is placed*a tough sole made of rubber and fiber, •called the "rag sole." This is "skived" all round, and then both • rag Bole and lining are brushed over with a fine quality of rub­ ber cement and left to dry. When the benzine has fully evapo­ rated from the cemented surface the process of "trimming" is the next in order. First the holes are cut for the straps and they are placed in position; Then a small "heel-stay" of cloth is added, followed by an "ankle-piece" of nbber cut without "Japping" at the back. A heavy counter of rubber and fiber is put around the heel next, to bo followed by a "back-strip" of rubber that runs up the seam in the lining from the heel to the top of the boot. This is succeeded by a toe-strip of pip­ ing, a toe-piece of rubber, and side- stays of the same when the boot iB ready for the "cover." All this time the boot has the look of some of these felt boots that car-drivers in Chicago fancy, only this is decorated with cement and trimmings, and the other is plain. The leg cover is rubber and goes over the whole with the ex­ ception of the sole and a, part of the toe. It is put on with great care, a back seam being run down in the mid­ dle of the back strip, a "binding" put around the top, a vamp lining the sides extending over the counter, secured, and the "outer filler'" added to the bot­ tom of the foot. .r CHEYENNE INDIANS PREPAft- , KATIOWAt LAW-MAKERS Al«> W1 ING FOR AN UPRISING.

Philadelphia (Pa.) dispatch: Th6 cable which is to be laid between Hali­ fax and the island of Bermuda arrived at the latter place June 7 ou the British steaiher Wes'meath, from London. This news was brought here yesterday by Capt. Fulcher of the British steamer City of Truro, which arrived from Al- meria via Bermuda. The Westmcath put into Bermuda merely to make ar­ rangements to land the cable, as It Is the intention to start tho work of laying it from Halifax. The cable was manufac­ tured in London and shipped on the Westmeath; which is specially fitted out for laying it. It Is S00 miles long and is said to weigh about 3,000 tons. .,. VESSELS DESTROYED. A fswlflci - Tempest Sweep* Over Mon­ tevideo. City of Mexico dispatch: Mail ad­ vices from Montevideo says that the city is just recovering {rom the effects of a terrible tempest, which caused in­ calculable damage in the harbor. No such storm had been experienced there in thirty years. It is estimated that at least 200 vessels of various sorts were either lost, or badly damaged. The German steamer Corrientes, plying be­ tween Hamburg and Buenos Ayres, was wrecked, and her valuable cargo Mved only with the greatest difficulty. Grieat Almrm - V«It in Montana Over the Action of the Rodsklna--Govern** Toole Sends Arms and AIUinanition to the Scone of the Troubles* Miles City (Morjt.) dispatch: The Cheyenne Itidlan trouble is daily and hourly assuming a more serious aspect. Settlers coming into town from the out­ side agree, that every indication points to an outbreak. Cheyenne bucits are scattered over the country in small par­ ties intimidating ranchers by insolent conduct and killing cattle largely in excess of their demands for fowl. The bucks occupy the high ground and are constantly signaling from point to point. Friendly Indians report that runners have been sent to Standing Rock and Pine Ridgt>. to induce the Sioux and Pine Ridge Cheyennes to join in a con­ templated raid. These reports are also to the effect that tbe Cheyennos are going to raid white settlements as soon as preparations are completed. Upshaw, agent of the Cheyennes, is marked for vengeance. He is to be scalped and his scalp divided so each Indian can have apiece. Sioux Indians traveling singly and in pairs, with large strings of ponies, have been intercepted coming from the direction of the Mis­ souri river agencies and headed for the Cheyenne agency. The Cheyennes are all well armed with Winchesters and have plenty of ammunition. Tlie settlers and cowboys are poorly armed. To remedy this Sheriff Jones of Custer county has asked Gov. Toole for 100 rifles and 10,0>)0 rounds of amunitlon, which will arrive to-morrow and be sent out at once. There are now at the Cheyenne agency three troops of <&valry from Fort Custer, number- ing abpulx140 men. under command of Major Carroll. A detachment, one troop of cavalry and three companies of in­ fantry, under copimand of Capt. Mat- thewson, left Fort Keogli this morning for Sweeney Creek, where the Indians were reported troublesome. It is prob­ able that another detachment will be ordered to Ashland at once. It may be possible to quell the out­ break by the presence of the troops and armed ranchers and cowboys, but the only solution of the difficulty Is the re­ moval of the Indians, who are only half fed and have been kept in this condition for years past. Half their food has been furnished by stockmen of Custer county, who are getting tired and will relieve themselves of this incubus if the Gov­ ernment does not act. Helena (Mont.) dispatch: Gov. Toole hr»3 just received a dispatch signed by ten prominent citizens of Miles City requesting that he send 1,000 stand of arms and ammunition. In reply arms a^d ammunition were sent forward in , charge of Col. Curtis. The Cheyennes have left thelr-camps and art? gather­ ing in small camps of'from fifteen to twenty-flye in the tepees and are firing at settlers' houses and making the most threatening .demonstrations. Ranch­ men have been bringing their families Into the settlement all day. Cattle are being shot down by the Indians through pure malice, as no parts of the animals are used for beef. Eighteen cattle were shot in one bunch on Otter creek. White men are believed to be re­ sponsible to a great extent for the present troubles among the Cheyennes. These men, without tho authority or knowledge of the military authorities at Fort Custer, entered the reservation about a week or ten days ago and harrangued ,tbe Indians with a story of a coming Christ and inflamed their Imaginations with tales of horses, cattle and fire-water to be bestowed when the Christ arrived. One night this week a band of, braves went on the war­ path almost within sight of Fdrt Custer and surprised a family on the Little Big Horn. Tho only woman present escaped with her husband, but a man named Bowen was killed and scalped. The band proceeded to. the Tongue River valley and killed two more set­ tlers whose names are unknown. Four Indians implicated in the mur­ der were arrested and taken to Miles City. It was then fully realized that an ugly feeling was general among the Northwestern tribes, medicine men hav­ ing inflamed nearly all of them by preaching the coming of a new Messiah. Cattle were stolen from ranches in unu­ sual numbers, and the settlers have for weeks been in a state of-fear. BOSTON'S BOODLE SENATORS. Charges that Votes Were Offered for Sale to Klevated Itoads; Boston dispatch: Tho charire of bribery and corruption urged against certain Massachusetts State Senators has proved the sensation of th<v hour here. The Senate took the matter up immediately upon its assembly this morning and a committee of investiga­ tion was appointed. This body at once began its work, summoning Georgo Fred Williams, the young Representa­ tive who preferred the charges, to name guilty Senators and state his proof. The elevated railroad advocates and Senate lobbyists were on hand In force. Mr. Williams urged delay as he was not ready to produce his testimony. Pushed to a statement of what he really intend­ ed to show, he said: "I have evidence tending to show that a member of your honorable branch in consultation with persons representing one of the elevated railroad companies asking for a charter offered to produce his own vote as one of ten members of your honorable branch, which ten members he would 'deliver' or their i'otes for the sum of $100,000 for each Senator." The com­ pany involved, he said, was tho People's Elevated road, but that incidental to the charges would come up matters concern­ ing the West End railroad. Mr. Will­ iams will name the Senators alleged to hare been concerned in the transaction and produce his proof to-morrow. of the Senate and Representative* --- Important Measure* Discussed and Aot«d On--Gist of til* Business.
