The tenth day of the work of clearing away the wreckage opened with n drizzle which mndo everything wet nnil slfpjitry. About 9 o'cloclt the down pour bcciiuio so heavy that It Interfered ser ' iously' with the work , and the men wcro called to shelter , but na soon as the rain be- cnmo Icsi'hciwy ' nil went to work again. Arrangements have been made by' which a much ncodod supply of fresh meat will bo furnished. The great quantity of debris which has been loosened from nbovo tho' stone brldgo and floated ilown stream , has formed n gorge opposite Cambria Cltyund a number of men were sent down to remove It , ns It closed the chan nel , stopping the flow ft water and render ing very difficult the work of removing the wreckage nt , the stone bridge. The visit of Governor Beaver to this sec tion yesterday has given renewed hopes to the stricken people , and on all sides the ac tion taken yesterday Is being favorably com mented on. After Wednesday , Adjutant- General Hastings will have entire charge , and this section will bo strictly under mili tary discipline. The First National bank has opened up for bushiest ; , and the fact Is appreciated by nil , as much trouble has been occasioned by the inability to get money here. Much suffering Is occasioned by the wearing of gum boots by the men employed here. Over sixty of them were obliged to quit work , to-day , owing to thofact of their feet being terribly blistered , and many are at work In their bare feet. Sixteen bodies were rccovcdcd this morning , and but flvo wcro Identified. They nro a son of C. Elcessor. undertaker ; Mrs. Kato Neory and Mary .Tnno Nugent. seamstresses ; David Crcoil , grocer , aud Blanche Hannlcho. The unlilcntillcd wcro seven females and four males , the bodies being very much de composed. There will not bo any further work for the undertakers after this evening. Uov. Father Trautmeln , pastor of the Church of the 1m maculate Conception , reports that out of a congregation of 050 ho has lost 113 , and tklnits the number will roach 150.- The medical director in MInersvlllo re ports that the prevalence of measles is be coming mild , and there is no apparent Im mediate danger of malaria. Only n single case of typhoid pneumonia was reported there. Two hundred axmou from Michigan arrived this morning. They wcro ut once put to work on the heavy timbers above the bridge. These timbers are being piled up , and ns soon as suftlcicntly dry will bo burned. The progress of the work at the stone bndgo to-day has been moro satisfactory than on any day so far. The stationary en gine on the brldgo Is doing good work. Hugo musses of broken aud bent iron aud immciiEO timbers that tuo men have been trying to inovo for days , wore lifted from their places and moved with oaso. Fourteen moro of these great helpers have been sent for. for.A A heavy charge of dynamite was exploded to-day and did a great deal of good. It dera onstratcd that heavy charges must be used In order to do any good. Three bodies were found to-day near the stone bridge , and ten or twelve wcro found in .thai vicinity. All the commissary stations were kept busy at Cambria. A vast amoun of provisions and clothes have been distrib utgd. Long lines of sufferers stood in the heat and rain waiting their turn. No ono is furnished without an order , and every de partment Is under the strictest discipline. Most excellent work Is being done hero. The same peed work is being done ut the Amcri- CUB club commissary and other places. The hurried burial of the dead in Prospect Hill cemetery is causing the residents of that beautiful suburb of Johnstown n great deal of annoyance , and may cause much sickness. The bodies wore placed in cheap cofilus uud nor.o were secure. The odor from the decomposed bodies aris ing to the surface attracts a pack of dogs who make night hideous by their howling and pnwlng over the graves. The coDlus wcro put only three feet under ground , as there wan no tliuo to dig graves deeper. It was found necessary to place guards in the little cemetery , containing two hundred graves , to drive the dogs away. To-day Dr. Mtllerjnstructcd the American club members , who are m camp near the cemetery , to secure disinfectants and place it on the graves , thus killing the odor. The first funeral of a llooa victim , that might bo truly called such and in which the corpse was taken to the cemetery in a con veyance , was hold to-day. The body was taken lo the cemetery in n , wagon accom panied by mourners in a carriage aud a burial service hold. . There were thlrty-flvo todies recovered to day eleven of them at the stone brldgo. Those taken out of the water wcro in n much bettor condition than those found among the debris. The latter were not only horribly bloated and distorted iu the feat ures , but decomposition hud sot iu , and the Blench arising thorclrom was almost unbear able.Tho The list of the "unknown" Is growing asj the means of IdcntlUcatlou become moro ob- Bcurc. > The rpport of Dr. Slbuol , addressed to Dr. Groff , may bo given m brief as follows : ' Fourth ward school house morgue , Juno 8.

Not long slnco tliero stood on the court records n divorce suit en titled , "Allosbury vs. Atlesbury nnd others , " the others Including ono Hlloy , once an ofll- ccr in the army and now a private gcntlo- man ; but her ladyship made a faux pas to day.Mr. Mr. Riley , who was concerned in the dl- vorco suit managed to conduct her ladyship to the grange races , nnd the Marquis got scent of It. Lord Arlestmry was having luncheon with Major Hcskoth , in his car- rlaco , when ho saw his wlfo and h cr friend. Ho watched them quietly and then mixing with the shifting crowd and taking up his post nt their outside limits ho walked across the course nnd so got into the member's pad dock. There were two or thrco blows struck. Then came a rush to the member's prem- onade , n'nd the combatants wcro surrounded by moro than a thousand people. The cue was caught up by the crowd and a multitude rushed to tlio spot. "Police" was the next cry but when the police did arrive they were hustled and Jostled by the mob who would rather have been drowned in the moat than sco so distinguished nn encounter cut short. The marquis was standing on the defen sive , and If the combatants can arrange a private llttlo ring , I don't mind laying aown odds 011 his lordship. Had the combatants a place In another part of the field , It might have been fought out to the bitter end. The lords and ladles were terribly shocked , nnd the police put out their force just Iu time to prevent the crowd rolling down the moat. Then the marquis demanded his wife , nnd walked through the crowd , ho looking pale and excited and she ditto , though to a moro modified degree. niloy was immediately ordered off the course , but the mnrquls and marchioness were closeted In a private ayartment until the excitement were down , and they were conducted oft by Major Dolboar , o'no of the stewards. They were led to a cab , which drove them off the course. To the press men , who mot him at the exit , his lordship gave permission to desc.Ibo Just what they saw , and to the stewards ho cheerily announced that ho had brought the meeting into proraiiience.

Representative Burrows Is the , first of the spcakorshtp candidates to announce his In tention of making an active canvass immedi ately for the spcakcrshlp , but the others have been on a still hunt for some tlmo , nnd It Is not probable thatxiny ono of them has allowed nuy particular amount of crass to grow under his feet. There Is every indica tion that the contest for the speaker's chair in the Fifty-first congress will bo so fierce that General Nathaniel Banks , on his re- return to the halls of legislation with this congress , will bo reminded of the days when ho made the fight for spcakcrshlp , with the aid of Horace Grcoloy , and at first ngainst what seemed to bo overwhelming odds. There Is every indication that the contest will bo lone drawn out , and no ono can say , to-day , whether Burrows , McKln- ley , Reed , Henderson or Cannon will win. In fact , the claims of the supporters of each of thcso gentlemen leads to the belief that each will go into the race with very strong backing. The situation has led to moro talk about dark horses , nnd while Furquahcr and ono or two other northern nnd western men have been suggested us possible contestants , the southern republicans have not been in active , aud there is u decided dis position to urge a man from their section ns a compromise candidate. They argue that the election of a southern republican as speaker of the house would bo n decidedly strong political move and that It would in all probability bo fol lowed by the capture of a.numbor of seats from the southern states la the succeeding cougrcss. Representative Browcr , of the Fifth North Carolina district , Is talked of among these gentlemen for speaker. In spite of the fact that his district is naturally democratic ho carried it in an off year and again in the presidential campaign. Mr. Brewer represents an intelligent constituency and is himself a man who has , according to ho claim of his friends , all the elements iccessury to make an excellent presiding nicer. It Is argued in his be- mlf , too. thathetoolcu leading part In behalf Df the IJlair bill and that although the inter- ml revenue bill which at ono time seemed ns if it mieht puss the house , was credited to Cowels , of North Carolina , that Browcr was ho man who conceived the Idea of substitu- g that measure for the Mills bill , nnd ho lid moro than any one man to advance it as ar as it did go before congress adjourned. Mr. Brewer's selection in the event of a eng drawn out contest Is by no means out- idu thu pale of probability , and his selection vould certainly increase the republican auks in North Carolina as well as in other listricts in the south where the repeal ( if he internal revenue laws are regarded as me of the foremost needs of the ago. . . TUB SADIN TIlOailLE. The small section of the social world In Washington is having n , great denl to talk about slnco the announcement in the morn- ng papers of the bngiuning of divorce pro ceeding's by ex-Senator Siibln , of Minnesota. Mic news comes in the nature of a surprise .o most people. Yet it was not in the least surprising to these on terms of sufficient inti macy with Mr. Sauiu as to give them an in sight to his private affairs. So long ago as during the senatorial campaign in Minnesota nst winter there were hints nt unpleasant marital relations , aud the senator's friends were afraid that the outcome would bo pub- icatinns which would bo injurious to him , but It seems that , contrary to the usual cus tom , the newspapers have not printed any of the details up to the pres ent time. Mrs. Sabm was an opium eater when she was married. Her husband discovered her penchant for the drug soouvafter and did all in his power to break it up. bio filled the house full of her friends , nnd it was on this account ns much as any other that ho concluded to adoot the entire family of the late Delegate Raymond , of Dakota. Instead of curing the disease , for such It was considered , Mrs. Sabln seemed to grow worse and within the last two years bus developed n strong mania foi intoxicating liquors as well as a morbid de sire to purchase everything she saw. It is reported that on ono occasion the lady visit ed a dry goods establishment in this city and ran a bill of about $1,800 , which her husband was compelled to pay and the goods which she purchased are still uncut in their Minnesota home. Thcro Is enough to supply the entire family for the noxi few years and still have a surplus sufficient to stock an ordinary dry goods store. Several > oral months ago It was decided that all at tempts to break up this habit would bo use less without the employment of strong measures. After a consultation it was do cidcd , both by the senator and Mrs. Sabln , that the best plan would bo for the lady to cuter an Institution where she could have tuo best of treatment. Ouo of the besl known places in the country for the cure of Inebriates and these addicted to the opium habit Is located at Flushing. Long Island. It was to this plnco that Mrs. Sabln was sent For a few weeks everything seumcd to go along very smoothly , but U was soon dis covered that the chances for ultimate recov ery were exceedingly remote and it Is sup posed that on coming to the conclusion that his wife could never bo restored to her nor mal condition , the senator -decided that sep aration was the only course open to him.

FLOOD IIEMIN1SCENCE8. The terrible flood disaster nt Johnstown has diverted public attention from a great many other mutters which will como up lor moro or less consideration at un early day. Among other things the report of the de partment of agriculture on crop prospects for the month of Juno Is likely to bo widely read. Visitors to western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania report that the heavy frost on the night of thu 20th of May was far moro disastrous In the apple region than was at first supposed. It Is said that In the heavy orchard districts of Clmtauqua , Cattaruugus , Erie , Allegheny und Wyoming counties in Now York , the freeze was so great that moro than 00 per cent of the apples were killed. It was expected that the damage to grain and gra s will alBo bo very heavy , and that the result will bo that instead of very heavy crops in thcso pro ducts , which were expected two or thrco weeks ago , the gathering will bo far below the average , and the prices , especially of ap ples , iu consequence , much higher. Mr , J. O , Kcrby , correspondent of the Now York Journal of Commerce , lived for several years on the farm adjoining the dam above Johnstown. Ho said to-day : The dam broke once before. It was about the time of the war , but I can not fix the duto exactly. Th'o damage then , however , was not great , as the break was gradual. The water rushed down through Johnstown , and its mostly ghastly effect was the washing out of the cemeteries , bringing the bodies to the surface. The fishing club rebuilt the dam , but did not do as good work ou it as the state did , The lake Is near the top of the moun tain , its waters flow down tbe Couewuugu through the Allegheny , ' Ohio nnd Missis sippi rivers to the Gull of Mexico. Within n nun shot of the lake the streams take their start that flow eastward through the Susquo- hana into the Atlantic. The lake Is on the divide between the two great valloyp. Half n million people between the lake nnd the Ohio river derive their water supply from the Conomaugh nud the streams with which It mingles. I dd not understand , " said Mr. Kcrby , "whororbom Is found to bury the victims of this catasttopho , the cemetery at Johnstown ou the flat ground Is crowded. Johnstown is between two mountains that rlso with porclptlous walls , The ceme teries hnvo been flooded nnd washed out by floods. Mrs. Morrlll , the wlfo of ox-Con- pressman Morrlll , was so prostrated by the ghastly effects of u flood that washed out the graves , that she died. CONClillNINO NRDIIASIvA. Senator Paddock is expected to arrive hero during the present week. Senator Mandor- son Is still on deck , but Nebraska docs not seem to bo getting any very great number of federal plums. It Is barely possible that on the arrival of the junior senator the dam which 1ms been formed through the drifting of applications Into the departments may bo broken. Nebraska people now hero gener ally bollcvo that the appointment of Euan ns minister to Chill Is disastrous to the hopes of the moro active republicans in that state who desire to represent the United Status abroad. They claim that Egan's ' services , while valuable to the re publican party'as n whole , were not par ticularly valuable to the state of Nebraska , nud that the state could have been carried for the republican ticket. If Mr. Kgan had never set foot upon Us soil ; furthermore , they hold that the charging of n minister to n state like Nebraska Is likely to displace thrco consular applicants , nt 'least. Of the twenty registers nnd receivers In Iho state only two have thus far been changed. It Is believed that upon the arrival ot Senator Paddock arrangements for transferring nt least half of thu others from democratic to republican Incumbents will be perfected. JIISCliLLANCOUS.

The following general order was issued , this evening , from the postofflce department : "In connection with the future management of the railway mail service , the general superintendent wishes to convey to these engaged in it his determination to advance its efficiency and usefulness , the accomplishment of which can only bo attained by the earnest and intelli gent co-operation of the superintendents and postal clerks. Every ono attached to the organization will bo expected to perform his full duty , closely observing and obeying the postal laws und regulations , as well as the orders and instructions that from tune to time are issued for his informa tion1 and guidance. The partial enforcement of the discipline of the service will not , bo satisfactory , neither can excuses bo ac cepted for neglect ot duty , for irregularities resulting from carelessness or for inatten tion , nor for misdemeanors of any kind. Clerks nro required to keep themselves posted upon distributing assigned to them , to bo familiar with the schedule of connections and with the book of instructions ; to study the weekly bulletin or general orders prepared in each division , and to closely examine and note the special orders issued by those who have au thority over them. It is a prevalent belief that instructions relating to the checking of errors are not strictly followed , and it is sun- posed in many instances that clerks hnvo ngrccd among themselves not to check each other , thus defeating the purpose of ono of the most essential methods which has been instituted for the better ment of the general sorvico. It should bo understood that measures will bo taken to ascertain who disregard these orders and to rorlllco them with those. who are more dill gent and faithful.

IIXED RAILROAD SITUATION , Nothing Done nt the St. Pnul Moot ing to ArrangeEatos. . BAD BLOOD IS' PREDOMINANT. Freights Will Uulo Until the Close of Navigation The Trouble Likely to Extend The Alton Is Ono Ahead. Thn Ht. Paul Convention. CIIIOAOO , Juno io. | Special Telegram to TUP. BBE. ] Absolutely uothtng was nccom- llahcd at the St , Paul mooting called to ousldor the chaotic condition of Northwest- rn rntcs , except to stir up additional bad ilood. As n consequence , the "S-cont pro- iortlon of thb through rate applies between Chicago and St , Paul. In other words , the few York merchant can ship freight from hlcago to St. Paul on a 23-cont basis , while t costs the Chicago merchant 00 cents. The Iscrlmluation is so apparent that the Bur- ngton & Northern this morning gave notice liat it would put Into effect local rates bo- ween Chicago and St. Paul , based oa a 45- : ent basis. Commissioner Inglohart , of the Chicago freight bureau , which represents the board if trade In railroad matters , says the relief aused by the 45-cont rate will not bo sum- lent. It must bo lowered to , nf least , 83 icnts. The interests of the merchants nnd ho railroads are so nearly identical that the 3-cout rate will probably bo made volun- arlly. It not , the freight bureau can easily Ind moans to compel the reduction. Com- nlssionor Inglohart said this was the first line in the history of the freight bureau that t hud asked for a reduced rate uud only isked now for nn equalization of rates , .tulslng the through rate to its proper pro- lortlon would bo equally satisfactory to Chlcnco. From the amount of ill fooling existing , ho did not think there would be an agreement to ngalu raise the through rate until navigation closed , Ono of the best railroad authorities In Chicago cage said to-day : "The railroads hnvo jrought this whole trouble on themselves. Tlio St. Paul had no buhlncss to try nnd meet the lake rates. It would bo money iu the pockets of the rail lines If they would simply ignore these Superior oirates , or oven allow them blackmailing differential they iemand. Tno situation is very serious , and s liable to extend to nil the Missouri rlvor aud southwestern points. No one can fore see where it will end.

Part of , ho decision reads as follows : "It appears that the St. Paul road has , during the cur rent year , obtained n proportion of the live stock tniulo from Kansas City , largely iu ex cess of the share which it should receive in order to effect an equitable distribution. The methods by which tncso results have been obtained nro not important for present pur poses. The principles by which this associa tion is governed , require that said Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul road should restrict its live stock trafllu to an nn amount not exceeding two train loads per week , until the unequality is corrected , of which notice will bo given. For the present nil other Hues will remain open to shippers without change In rates or facilities. So far us the division can bo properly controlled the bnnoflt thereof should bo given , for the time being , to the Chicago & Alton road. " The decision further recommends that n joint agency for hundliug the live stock traf- lle bo organised by the roads Interested In the division. It also hints that it may bo necessary to make higher rates for the roads petting too much traffic. NojJ St. Paul officials In Chicago were authorized to state what action their road would take on thu decision.

Northern Ne braska has had many n bright hope smoth ered by Inactivity , and her present growth Is ; reiuly duo to her people's untiring faith In icr resources. Standing between two com- uorclal centers , with Ynnkton knocking nt ho door for recognition , northern Nebraska nnd South Dakota look towards Omaha for future relief. Tun BRE correspondent has taken exten sive circles throughout the north part of the state and South Dakota during the past flf- tcoti years. Ho has seen both sections In heir virginity and in their present dovolop- ug state. At these curly times , with grass- loppcrs devouring what drouth had not already destroyed , It took strong men to cling to a country they persistently claimed vas "God's country , and would come out all right. " The wisdom of such foresight Is low proven , aud the development that thcso noncers have mndo should bo rewarded by lie best and easiest markets. Omaha cannot afford to lose sight of her opportunltcs. She has at least two. Hnrtlngton , the county scat of Cedar county , Is located In one ot the best sections of Nebraska. The Bow valleys are not to 10 surpassed for fertility. The country bo- ween Ilartlugton and Yankton Is well settled by a thrifty class of Gor- nuns , nnd the distance being note o exceed thirty miles , leaves but n trifling gap to bo tilled by the Chlcngo.St. Paul.Mlu- icnpolts it Omaha line. The Missouri rlvor . rcauhed , nnd ono of the most beautiful cities n all Dakota Is found in Yankton. Then up ho Jim river which has its headwaters away ip In North Dakota , ouo of the finest valleys u the world is found. Randolph Is a young town situated in the southwest township of Cedar county , ut vtuch point the Wayne branch of the Omaha line for the present terminates. It has been surveyed through a portion of Ivnox county. In this section the land Is largely owned by speculators who bought It In an early day as offered" land , paying at the rate of 1.25 icr aero In cash or scrip , some of the latter lot being worth more than -10 cents on the lollar. The state also selected some of its icst lands Iu this region , which have been sold or leased , and quite a settlement tins gathered in hero. The Yankton , Norfolk & southwestern-has already located through .his country , nnd it is expected that the Ran dolph line will push through that territory very soon. But of all thcso points Niobrnra stands In a position to bo of moro benefit to Omaha hau nuy other point. At the confluence of two great waterways , her location for future aid to the state's metropolis is beyond dispute , i'ho Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad for the present , terminates at Ver digris , twelve miles from Niobrara.

Take the map aud it will bo seen that the Northwestern system has the key to the situation. By pushing Its Huron branch south it would pass through a beautitul sec tion of country to Niobrura and parallel with no other Hue. By filling up the gaps as men tioned in the foregoing list , its connection with Omaha would bo complete by two routes , with a country that has.no superior. dTho people of this section were never in more need of railroad facilities than now , mid never felt the need moro. The country tins so rapidly developed that doubt no lonircr should exist as to the bandits Omaha would derive were its connections with the vast territory botwecn hero and there , and still beyond , completed.
