A MONSTER RAFT. ! Launching a Huge Timber Ship in the Bay of Fundy. Thirty Thousand Logs Worth $50,000 Bound for .New York. The monster log raft, or, rather, "log ship," that has been completed for Jam9S D. Leary, of New York city, has been successfully launched into the Bay of Fundy at Joggins, Nova Scotia. The monster fabric has been ready for launching during the past three weeks, but the builders were awaiting the big midsummer tide, which at that point every year reaches a height of over sixty feet. When the tide was at its highest point at noon, launching day, over one hundred feet of the raft was floating in the water. At a given signal a hundred heavy check blocks were knocked away, a few pieces of timber cut away, and then the fate of the raft depended upon a few strokes of the ram about midships, where the shores were so arranged that it was only necessary to knock out one of them. After the first two strokes the raf started. The descent was not rapid. When it struck the water the raft kept head up and skimmed along gracefully. The speed decreased perceptibly as the la>t 200 feet lefttho launchways. Clouds of smoke caused by.friction almost obscured the last half of the raftj from view, but it soon cleared o!f. The impe* tus given it sent the monster about an eighth of a mile out to sea and thus the 20,000 ton? of logs slid gracefully into the water. The ocean tug Morse, which is the largest and strongest tug in those waters, was in readiness to make fast to the raft, and it was towed out into the bay. The Morse started at once for New York with the unwieldy tow. Two of the employes, Harding Parsons and Jack Carter, stood on top of the raft when it was launched. The raft has been in course of construction since last March, work having been begun on it immediately after tha loss of the big raft that the steamer Miranda let go adrift. Three hundred men were constantly employed upon it under the direction of H. R." Robertson, who has tne structure of the raft patented. It was built upon an enormous cradle, 35,000 sticks of timber and seventy-five tons of steel wire rope being used in its construction, but with a certain number of logs stuck upright in the fashion of masts, and secured with wire ligging. The present structure is larger than the raft which went to pieces off Nantucket last winter. The first raft was 540 feet long. The present structure is nearly 700 feet long sixty feet in width, thirty five feat deep and will draw twenty-two feet of water. It contains nearly o0,000 sticks of timber, varying in length from twenty-five to 175 feet, bolted together, besides being lashed with wire rope, which was imported into Canada fr?e of duty on tr>e ground of being used as ship's rigging. The timbers cost $liS,00X The towage contract to New York by the big tug B. W. Morse, of Maine, will be $100 per day. The value of the logs in New York will be about $50,000. If sawed into lumber a fleet of 100 schooners or fifty railroad trains of fifty cars each would be needed to transport them. It is designed to tow the raft through Long Island sound an 1 the East river to the Erie basin where the craft will be broken up and the logs sold. The structure of the craft has been patented by H. R. Robertson, a contractor, who if this time successful, will continue to ship lumber in this fashion. Vessel owners are opj>osed to the scheme, and the Provincial Legislature at its next session will be appealed to for the purpose of having a law enacted to prohibit the building and sailine of such rafts; fcr, if successful. such a traffic will destroy the shipowners1 | trade. Dealers who depend on tho railroads will also be utterly unable to compete with the lumber brought by the raft. Should the present "timber ship" go to | pieces the United States government will ! probably be asked to prevent such ventures in future. Meanwhile the course of the unwieldy raft will be watched with mucb. interest. The raft as it now floats is about twothirds submerged. Two tow chains are securely fastened through the timbers of the raft. The ends are planted, and an anchor is attached forward. UNITED STATES MINT. Interesting Figures From tho Director's Annual ReportThe Director of the United States Mint al Washington has submitted to Congress a report on the production of precious metals in I the United States during the calendar year ' 18S7. The product of gold amounted to 1,596,500 fine ounces, of the value of $33,000,000. The product of silver amounted to 41,2C9,240 fine ounces, of commercial value about $40,450,- ' 000, and of the coining value of $53,357,000. The gold product fell off about $2,000,000 ! from that of the preceding year. The product j oi silver increasea aoous i, coming j value, over that of tbe preceding year. The j principal gold product was in California, and j the principal silver product in Montana and Colorado. The value of the gold deposited at the mints was $34,667,712, of which S32.444.C67 was of domestic production, and $3J,01(2,051 consisted of foreign gold bullion and coin imported into the United States. The deposits and purchases of silver at the mints amounted, at coining rate, to $40,1*47,71)2. Nearly all of the silver bullion imported was from Mexico, and nearly all of the silver coin ] consisted in Mexican dollars. Silver ores ! were also imported, principally from Mexico, ; of the value of $4,242,133. There was a gain in gold to the United | States imports over exports of $3 >,671,297, and a loss of silver by exports of $7,159,637? a net gain to this country of bullion and coin ; of $28,511,630. The coinage of the mints j during the calendar year was 112,851,488 \ pieces of the value of $60,579,151. In a ldi- j tion to the c inage bars of gold and silver i were manufactured of the value of $65,338,595. An inquiry as V the value of the gold and ! silver used in thb mdustrial arts of the Uni- j ted States during the year 1887 shows a consumption of gold of *11.672,006, and of sil- i ver, $5,241,998; total, $16,914,604. Including ! the melting down of United States gold coin, the Director estimates the value of the gold used in the United States in tbe industrial arts during 18S7 at about $14,000,00.), and of silver, $5,280,000. This is an increase over the consumption of prior years. The amount of ?iiver purcnasea ior me surer dollar coinage was 24,71)7,279 fine ounces, costing $24,221,257, the average cost to the Government being $0.9768 per ounce fine. The coinage of tho world during the calendar year 1837 was S 124,993,797 in gold and $133,502,066 in silver. The reported consumption of gold in thejindustrial arts in the world for 1830 was $46,0j0,000 in gold and S22.0U0,000 in silver. The production of gold and silver in the world in 188.) was $98,7U1,2J5 in gold and $126,457,500 in silver. RUNNING AMUCK. Ike Lambert, an Alabama Desperado. Wantonly Kills Three Men.

FATAL CLOUD BURST. cWest Virginia Devastated by a Furious Rainstorm. Many Lives Lost and a Vast Amount of Property Destroyed, Never since the disastrous flood of August, 18G0, has Wheeling, W. Va., been visited by such a trcmsndous rainfall as occurred on Friday evening. The storm commenced at 10 o'clock at night and ceased at S in the morning. There were a number of deaths from liehtnine at that time, and not less than twenty-five drowned. Of these ten were lost in the Caldwell Run, eight were drowned at or near Triadeiphia and West Alexandria, in the eastern part of the county, one near Bridgeport, on the Ohio side of the river, one, ex-Sheriff Kemp, of Marshall county, near Benwood, W. Va, and two or more on Whisky Run on the Ohio side opposite the lower end of this city. The destruction of property exceeded half a milion of dollars. The limits of the storm are sharply defined, commencing in the neighborhood of iCadiz, Ohio, it swept in a path about twenty miles wide in a southeasterly direction through Mount Pleasant and St. Clairsville, on through Bridgeport, Bellaire and Martin's Ferry, where it crossed the Ohio to Wheeling; on through Elm Grove, Clinton and Triadeiphia to West Alexandria, on the Pennsylvania line, where it spent its force. Tbe storm broke over Wheeling, W. Va., about 6 o'clock, and rain came down \n sheets. There was no let up until 7:30, fitful showers, however, coming up afterward. It was not long until the streets were like rivers and the cellars of dwellings and business houses flooded. After the storm was over it was one swelling tide of wrecks, and when the moon finally shone out about 10 o'clock it looked upon a terrible scene of disaster. The most frightful effects of the storm were experienced on Caldwell's Run. The narrow channel of this stream made the rushing water an irresistible flood, sweeping pvprvthinc before it. During the rush of the waters the Market street iron bridge and Main street stone bridge were crowded with people watching the creek running out It was an appalling sight and at the same time fascinating. The Baltimore and Ohio wooden bridge, just below, soon became an object of interest as the sweeping flood was leaping against it with terrific force, and its timbers cracking beneath the strain. A large crowd gathered at this bridge, and in spite of warnings many persisted in getting out on the trestle, and all at once and without warning the bridge waa swept away, and above the sullen roar of the water and the cracln'sg of the timbers could be heard ftpr* ior help from those who were carrLv away with the bridge. A number who clung to pieces of timber were swept into the river in the twinkling of an eye, and residents of the island opposite the mouth of the creek plainly heard the cries of distress as they drifted down the Ohio. More than twenty persons perished on this structure. The greatest disaster occurred on Caldwell's Run, where ten persons lost their lives and a large amount oc property destroyed. The run is very crooked, and the flood as it swept through the city toward the river was churned into foam. Two bridges were swept away and about five miles up tho run sir houses were washed away or rather were crushed into fragments by the terrible force ?> fVi?f rr emonf.

Fifteen families are homeless and saved nothing but what they had on. Half this village of 000 inhabitants was swept away, but many of the residents escaped to the hills; William Gaston, aged sixty years, a : wealthy and prominent man who owned the ! famous Gaston Urchard, was drowned, as I was his wife. Mrs. Gatson's remains were | found near Elm Grove, two mile3 below her ruined home, and were hanging over a barbed wire fence when discovered. The body of Charles Caulbell, aged fifty, was found among some j driftwood. Mrs. Jane Fay, wife of Moses [ Fay, and her two daughters, Alice and Belle, j both of whom were grown up, were found i dead near Elm Grove. The bodies of two ! brothers named Gorman, both young men, j were recovered in a meadow where they had J been hurled by the furious waters. The whole farming country was denuded | of crops, and in many cases the soil waa j washed away over large tracts. Hundreds j of heads of live stock were drowned, and the desolation is general over a total area of I about 300 square miles.

LATER NEWS, A disastrous hailstorm passed over South Richford, East Berkshire, and Montgomery, in Vermont. Hail fell to a depth of five inches in some places, completely destroying growing crops and gardens. Drifts one foot in depth were seon firmly frozen together. The fall of a gallery in a Jsew York printer's shop caused the death of a girl named Maria Bagnell, who was ernp'oyed there, and the serious injury of five others.

Engineer Henry, a na'ive of Philadelphia, and Harris, of Lynchburg, were instantly killed; also Fireman Darnley, of Philadelphia, and seven colored m?n, attaches of the respective trains. Fireman Mays, of Lynchburg, was fatally in jured. Only the conductors escaped, and they were slightly bruised The wreck was attributed to the failure of the material tram conductor to obey the instructions of the train despatcber. . ... .{* j. i. .. .

The Chicagos are about all sacrifice hitters, and that accounts for their large number of runs on so few hits. The New England League teams are nil playing good ball, and deserve the hearty support of their respective cities. There is a ball club in the City of Mexico which has instead of hassocks on the bases plates of beautiful native onyx.

Detroit is afraid that Hardie Richardson will not be abla to play ball again this seaion. His sprained ankle is very lame. He will be a great loss to the champions. The Cleveland* are famous for their diving slides in stealing a base. There are few men in the team who will not risk breaking his neck, in case of emergency, to win a game.

The Measure Passes by a Majority of Thirteen Totes. Scenes in Congress When the Final Vote Was Taken. The Mills Tariff Reduction bill was brought up for final consideration on Saturday in the House of Representatives, and upon a vote being taken it was passed by a majority of thirteen votes. The fact that Mr. Mills would close the debate in a speech commencing at half past eleven o'clock was sufficient to fill the public and private galleries long before that hour. The vote shows that 811 of the 325 representatives were present The fourteen absentees, including Mr. Randall, were paired. Punctual to the minute, Mr. Mills arose and began to speak. He Began by offering some slight verbal amendments, and then launched into his speech. He had uttered but a few sentences when the door of the executive gallery was thrown open and Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom entered. Mr. Mills spoke with unusual vigor and earnestness, and his Democratic colleagues enthusiastically applauded him. The vote was taken immediately at the conclusion of his remarks, and was attended with little excitement. The Republicans made no effort to recommit the bill, nor did they offer a substitute for it. The yeas and nays were then ordered on the final passage of the bill, when Mr. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, obtained a recognition and said that his distinguished colleague, Mr Randall, who was absent from the House by reason of severe illness, had sent him a letter which be wished to have read at this time. The letter was read as follows: "July 19, 1888. "Hon. W, H. Sowden, House of Representatives : "My Dear Sib?If a vote on Mr. Mills's Tariff bill is to be taken on Saturday, the 2l8t inst.,1 fear my strength by reason of recent illness will not permit my presence in the House on that day, and if absent I want you to secure me a pair with some one who favors that bill, as I would, if present, record my vote in opposition to it. Give this immediate care, as I do not want to be misunderstood. 1 want it announced and distinctly known that I am opposed to the passage of the bill in question. Yours truly, "Samuel J. Randall." The letter was loudly applauded by the Republican members of the House. The roll call was then proceeded with, and the bill was passed? yeas 162, nays 149. Messrs. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, and Greenman, Merriman and Bliss, of New York (Democrats), voted against the bill, and Mr. Fitch, of New York, and Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota (Republicans), voted for it Three of the independent members also vntcvl von Tho fr.llnwinc nairs were annoucced: In favor o? the billMessrs. Hogg, Whiting, of Michigan, Belmont, Perry, Glover and Granger. Against the bill?Messrs. Randall, Heistand, Davenport, Spooner, Browr,e, of Indiana, and Woodburn. The announcement of the result was greeted with applause,and it was with some difficulty that Mr. Mills succeeded in quieting his nthusiastic colleagues long enough to enable him to make a motion to reconsider and table, which was carried. During the calling of the roll intense interest was manifested on the floor, and many members provided themselves with roll calls and kept tally as each vote was announced. The first member in rogard to whose vote there was some doubt who was reached upon the call was Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, who was elected as an independent with Republican proclivities, and as he cast his vote with the Democrats those gentlemen vigorously applauded him, The next gentleman whose vote gained him ? round of applause was Mr. Bliss, of New York, and as ne cast his vote against the bill it was the Republican side that paid him the compliment Mr. Fitch, of New York, when bis name was called, replied in a vigorous affirmative which gained him hearty greetings from the Democratic side, which were counterbalanced in a few moments by Republican applause when Mr. Greenman, of New York, answered in the negative. Mr. Merriman, of New York, was also applauded when he voted against the bill, but the greatest demonstration uccorded any gentleman was that tendered to Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, when he answered to his name in the affirmative. Mr Sowden, of Pennsyl Tama, came in ior nepuoncan appiause as he voted "No." After the roll had been called, but before the announcement had been made, the Speaker directed the clerk to call his name, tod he voted in favor of the bill TRIPLE_TKAGEDY, Sad Consequences of a Tennessee Desperado's Drunken Frenzy.
