DESTRUCTIVE STORMS. Virginia and Maryland Particularly Feel Their Effects. RIVERS RISING IN BOTH STATES—RATEROAD BRIDGES SWEPT AWAT AND TRAINS DELAYED— GREAT DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND cROPS— BUILDINGS TORN FROM THEIR FOUNDATIONS. The storms of yesterday and the day before covered a wide area of territory and did a large amount of damage. Last night the force of the storm was spent in Virginia and Maryland. As the result of recent heavy rains there is the largest flood known in the Darville river, Va., and its tributary streams since 1873. Cot- ton mills, ice factory, foundries, electric light house, and other machinery on the river front are flooded. Low lands in the lower part of the city of Danville are submerged. The At- lantic and Danville railroad tracks for a dis- tance of six miles are under water, and thou- sands of cross-ties awaiting rails between there and Milton, N. C., have been washed away. ‘The roadbed of this new line is greatly dam- aged. There are seven washouts on the Vir- Midland road between Danville and fynehbarg, and travel on that road is entirely suspended. .. e damage on the Danville and New River Faiiroad is very great, there being numerous bad washouts and the bridge over Cascade creek being swept away. There were no trains over that road yesterday. From Caswell and Rockingham counties in North Carolina and Henry. Franklin, Pittsylvania, and Halifax in Virginia come reports of terrible damage to property. Bridges, fencing, and low ground crops have been swept away in every direction. The county bridges over Sandy river and Sandy creek, near Danville, were washed away is afternoon. ALARM FELT AT FREDERICKSBURG. The people of Fredericksburg were in a high state of consternation yesterday over the high waters in the Rappahannock. On Saturday last the river rose to the capacity of its banks, but did not overflow. Tuesday afternoon the rain poured as if bent on the total destruction of the city. With unabated fury during the entire night the ‘storm continued. I.ong before daylight yesterday the people were on the streets, fear- ing a flood like thaton the 3ist of May last. Daylight showed the river overflowing its banks and rising at the rate of 18 inches an hour, the rain falling as heavily as ever. The streets in the lower portion of the city are flooded. The citizens there have moved out of their houses, carrying with them their furni- ture, &c. The repairs on the dam have all been swept off, entailing a loss of thousands of dol- lars. The injury to the canal is also great and cannot as yet be estimated. Dispatches from Orange Court Houl® say that the Rapidan river is surging and sweeping all property along its banks. Information comes from the upper counties that the flood will be destructive indeed. The trains on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail- road were greatly delayed yesterday, owing to the uncertain condition of road bed. bridges, trestles, and culverts. On the R., F. and P. railroad there were no trains yesterday, many of the bridges and much of the trestlework over Hazel run, Furnace creek and other places hay- ing been taken away by the flood, RICHMOND LIKELY TO BE SUBMERGED. At Richmond the month ending yesterday will pass into history as the wettest ever known. A calculation made up to Saturday last shows that the rainfall there was 9.86 inches, as against 1.40 during the whole month of July, 1838. The record for the year promises to show that the rainfall was twice as much as any preceding within the memory of the oldest resident. The effect 6f these continuous and heavy rains has been disastrous to the farmers of she state. especially on the low lands, Re- rts from the James river valley and other low land sections of the state are to the effect that the growing grain crops have been greatly damaged. and in some cases_it is believed ut- terly destroyed. The James river is rising and a freshet is dreaded. At 6 p.m. yesterday the river was 63g féet above tide at Tredegar bridge, and was rising at the rate of one foot per hour. Owing to washouts on the Richmond and Danville railroad between Lynchburg and Danville. and « similar condition of affairs on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad uear Penola. 33 miles from Richmond, passengers and mail over both roads are being andied by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The indications are that the lower part of the city will be submerged. A FRESHET THREATENED. At Petersburg another serious yfreshet is threatened. A dispatch from Farmville says that the river there is now 3 feet higher than it was during the freshet in June. Merchants there have been warned to remove goods be- longing to them from the railroad freight warehouse, and altogether the greatest anxicty Prevails. It has been raining heavily for the past three or four days, and farmers are in dis- tress over ruin of crops. Floods in Maryland. At Ellicott City the heavy rains of yesterday have caused a considerable rise in the Patapsco river and occasioned considerable alarm for the safety of the new Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridge over the Patapsco to the flouring mills of the C. A. Gambrill manufacturing company. Considerable damage was done to the dam of the C. A. Gambrill company at the mills at Orange Grove, which was washed out during the flood of May 31 and was in course of repair, All the new work has been washed away and a | ny of the old dam which survived the former flood. The damage to roads and bridges throughout the county was heavy. Lightning struck the stone barn of Mr. C. W. D. Ligon and tore out several feet of the wall of one end and shivered several heavy posts. There was no stock in the barn. At Westminster rain commenced falling about 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and has kept it up ever since, sometimes pouring down. The streams throughout Carroll county have been very high, and in some places the county roads and fields are badly washed. The Patapsco falls at Carroliton were over the track of the Western Maryland railroad. The water of Big Pipe creek at Trevanion is over the bridge, making travel impossible. The meadows along Pipe creek from New Windsor to Union Bridge are all under water. No serious damage has been reported. The water is subsiding. STREAMS OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS. Tuesday night's rain has done a vast amount of damage to Harford county. The rain was accompanied with very vivid lightning and strong winl The corn fields are badly washed and streams thet were never known to get beyond their banks are now good-sized rivers, Winter's run at Archer & Howard’s mill, near Belair, was fourteen inches from the bridge floor. All the fields along this stream are flooded and Lake Fanny is a raging tor- rent. Bynum’s run is over its banks 400 or 500 | yorée and about twelve inches from the bridge x. The stream is usually about forty feet wide and two feet deep, but yesterday it was about fifteen feet deep. Deer creek has not been as high for years. No loss of life has been reported. The county roads are washed in some places. At Chestertown the fall of rain Tuesda: night and yesterday was unprecedente corn crop in Kent county will be cut short one-half by the extreme wet weather. Many farmers will not make enough corn to serve them, much less to make amends for a damaged wheat crop and no peaches, GREAT LOSS OF HAY AND WHEAT. Thus far Talbot county has suffered less, per- haps, than any other of the peninsula counties from unp-ecedented rains, as no heavy damage is yet done to mill ponds, roads or bridges, but hundreds of tons of hay have been lost’ and thousands of bushels of wheat are being dam- aged, and the outlook is that Talbot may not Faise corn enough for home consum} 5 ‘There is « large acs tomatoes x ically and spending mone: ingly.

In Wilmington heavy showers of rain have fallen at intervals Unless it. the fields are will be z, ve er wn and Smyrna come reports of deluged fields, The Baltimore and Delaware Bay railroad between Clayton and se mg Hook is so damaged by washouts that traffic is temporarily suspended. “Wheat is sprouting in the shocks about Dover, and from that point down peaches are badly dam. aged. About Georgetown peaches are greatly damaged and are rotting. Bri are 80 swept away that the extent of the can- not yet be learned. Communication between ford and Lavrel and the eastern part Sussex county is cut off. There will not be half acorn crop. Much wheat is unthrashed and is becoming ruined. Whole orchards are rotting and peaches that should remain on the trees until September are ripening. The Loss in New Jersey. The great damage done by the rains in New Jersey was told in yesterday's Star, though the violent showers of last night added to the in- jury already done. The dam at Féltville gave way yesterday, completely inundating the vil- lage of Scotch Plains. Many mills and facto- ries were wrecked and there were some narrow escapes of people. There was great fear for the Orange reservoir and the people living in the vicinity were Vn ose to move at a mo- ment’s notice. The Passaic river at Paterson is rising rapidly. The Peterson mills along the river banks have water in the cellars and wheel pits, Operations will be suspended. — There ave been many washouts in the suburbs. The dam at Halecon is liable to burst at any mo- ment. The Passaic falls never looked grander. SUMMER HOTEL LIFE. It Generates Bad Manners in Some of the Mildest People. From the Boston Gazette. If people could only be vaccinated to prevent contagion from bad manners there would be less danger from summer hotel life; but the dis- ease, though prevalent, seems to be under no control, and though we start from the doors of our city homes with no hint of the malaria of malice, envy, false pretense, or greediness, we come back in the fall with our systems so full of it that it is far into the winter of our own hearthstones befdre it can be eradicated. Mra. Placid may be a nice little woman with modest desires and manners, her little soul serenely above anything but the welfare of the little Placids and Placid pater familias, who are correspondingly modest and serene. Before they have been one week in the summer hotel Mrs, P. adopts an aggressive manner toward one family, a supercilious one toward another, toadies toa third and imitates a fourth; her nice little manner changes toa bad big ner and there is as grand a transformation scene as that of the ugly princess when the toads began to drop from her mouth. She has been a avoman who heretofore has carefully refrained from praising hnr husband or blam- ing her servants in public; but now, from the remotest corner of the nurse's dining room to the outer edge of the front piazza, Plymouth Rock pants are not more widely advertised than is the fact that Placid is just as attentive as when he was courting. and wears winter flannels all summer on account of an inherited tendency toward cholera morbus, and that her cooks have all been escaped luna- ties and her housemaids Pinkerton’s detectives i isguise. She bawls to her children loudly from all parts of the hotel, complains of the service and food, crushes ‘the call boys with her tones and makes a vain attempt to boss the clerk. And old Placid grows pompous; he tells alittle bigger story every night in the bar room and begins to speak in a filppant manner of Mrs. Placid, a thing he has never attempted nor thought of before. He places his income a little higher than it really 1s and his religious principles a little lower than they really are. He says ugly things about Jones, who is making more show than he is, and patromzes Smith who boards at a smaller house and walks to the train. He thinks it commendable to insist on having his money’s worth, from the sound of the first rising bell to the tinkle of the last pitcher of ice water, and says “Damme!” with a frequency that brings even his equally evil communication-corrupted wife up with a jerk, And the little Placids! Peevishness settles in their tones and small-sized envy in their hearts, | They begin to “sass” people in parlor and on | piazza; from quiet, well-bred children they turn into blood-curdling screechers who trip old ladies and nurse maids up with strings, cut hammock cords, and walk with re- sounding steps and whacks through the corri- dors in the early morning. And not the Placid family alone loses its individuality in the sum- mer hotel. Heretofore quiet and digritied old maids grow kittenish and artless under the in- fluence of some old centenarian merry-go-ronn { | who finds in the summer's flitting compensa- tion for a lonely winter's brooding. Reserved, noiseless people learn to slam their doors, to hum as they walk briskly by other peopie’s doors, grow familiar with the hotel clerks, stare at new comers, and pull their chairs from one end of the piazza to the other, as if in de- fiance of the hotel world in general. Little | Mrs. Pigeon, qho never has bad a day’s or an | hour's uneasin€ss about her Pigeon, grows sul- len and suspicious under the influence of some cold gray-eyed woman; and Pigeon himself, usually an innocent and unoffending man, grows worthy of suspicion under the tutelage of some old, hardened habitué of the hotel, who watches this evolution of a rascal with the same amused indifference that an old fisher- man feels at the writhes and flaps of the bright- eyed little trout on his hook. And the conta- gion goes on till hardly a person escapes; yet families rush joyfully into its jaws, and the hotel clerks keep up the languid murmur, “All full; never bad such a season! | FOREIG NOTES, The employes in several extensive cigarette factories in Havana’ have struck for higher wages. : Ina theater at Ashton, England, during the performance of a melodrama an excited woman threw her bonnet and umbre! the “villain” on the stage when he was strangling one of the characters, She “brought down the house.” Thirty persons were killed and eighty in- jared by the recent earthquake on the island of jou Siow.

He had goton the dry part of the track -and they cheered him as he landed the mare a winner, making the deposed jockey feel well rewarded. As he walked up to Col. Thomas after he had weighed in he exclaimed: let me ride Himyar the next time he starts.” He never did, however, as the colonel could never place any confidence in Bobby. ———- ee SERVANTS IN PERU. A Place Where They Will Only Attend to Their Special Duty. From the Kansas City Times. When a new servant is engaged the employer must instruct her as to the full extent of her duties on the first day. Thatis the sample of all days, and thereafter she will do exactly as she did then, and no more. The morning after our arrival at the hotel in Caracas I called for 8 glass of milk while dressing. On every sub- sequent morning during our stay a glass of milk was brought me at precisely the same hour without instructions, and, although thé sefvant was told several times that it was not wanted, she did not appear to understand and continued to bring it just the same. In the hotel were electric bells. The first day I rang for something and a certain boy answered the summons.: The next morning rang again and again and no one responded. Finally I went into the dining room and found there half a dozen servants. idu’t you hear my bell ring?” I asked. “$i, senor,” was the reply. “Then why didn’t you answer it?” “The boy that answers your excellency’s bell has gone to market with the manager.” “But you knew he was not here and you should have come in his place.” “No, senor; it is his occupation to answer your bell. I answer the bell of the gentleman in the next room.” And this provoking stubbornness outlasted my indignation. As long as I remained in that hotel my bell was only answered by the one particular boy. If he was not in I could rin, for an hour without receiving a response, al- though the house was full of other idle serv- ants, ~ —_+0- Dangers of a Nap on the Grass. From the London Standard. The habit in country parts of stretching one’s self out on the ground for the purpose of faking a nap is common enough in the summer time, but from a case that is reported from a village in the Dordogne, ’in France, a nap on the grass is not unattended with danger. A farmer residing near the village tired with the heat of the day and with his work recently laid himself down to rest beneath the shade of an oak tree in a meadow, He was suddenly roused from his repose by a sharp twinge of pain in one of his ears, the pain increasing to such an extent that before the poor fellow reached his home he was half beside himself, For several days he suffered the greatest agony, which neither doctors nor the remedies they pre- scribed could allay, and the patient was brought to such a pass that he made up his mind that he must die. It chanced, however, that a neighbor had the felicitous idea, as the sequel | proved, of pouring a little turpentine into his | ear, the immediate effect of which was to make | the patient fall back insensible on his pillow. On recovering consciousness he remarked that he experienced a strange feeling of relief. the cause of which was soon explained by the exit | from the ear of an enormous worm, which had | taken up its quarters there during the tarmer’s ea Misfit Photographs. From the Detroit Free Press, “Mistit photographs for sale” is the sign on a Michigan-avenue photograph gallery. The plan to get rid of pictures that people order and never pay for. “But who buys the pic- tures?” asked the sketch artist. “Oh, many folks, You see, a young man comes in here and sees anice picture of agirl and he buys one and sends it home to his friends. Then he takes one for himself—perhaps two—and in that way I get my money back, I. know one young fellow who took some of ‘my best work and sent it to Germany to represent his wite. The picture could easily have passed for hers as far as the features went, but she was never dressed out like that. Mothers who have little children often buy pictures of children with jong hair when theirs hasn't grown out and send them around to friends ata distance. I can sell brides’ pictures without any trouble. I sometimes think pictures that ain't taken for people look just as much like them.

Two impressionable young men were looking and admiring. “How statuesque she looks,” said one. “Whatagrand figure she has, hasn't she? Such refined features and such a clear com- plexion. She must be a new arrival from the east to have such a lovely complexion as that, and I wonder who she is, I am going to in- juire.”” k: “Oh,” said his companion, ‘she must be from the east, as you say; if she had lived here any time her complexion would have been spoilt. Whag grand eves and hair she has, And what grace. Let us find out where she’s from. It must be New York or Boston.” They proceeded to the clerk’s desk and asked confidentially whether she was from New York or Boston. “What makes you think she is from either of those places?" “Oh,” chorused the two admirers, “her beautiful Sg, eg » her natural grace and her exquisite figure. “I guess you will | MAGNIFI “Well, gentlemen, she is from neither place.

It prints ALL THE | NEWS, Local, Domestic and | LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN. This is conspicuously true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER |and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- | PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS ° than any other paper in Washington ever thoughe of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is | therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public in- | terest occurring in the District up te the very hour of going to press. — 10: By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans. 303 GJ NOTE-THE RESULT: 29 ——:0:—_ THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILGERS and MORE THAN FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE DAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE #AMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER, Furthermore, in proportiqn to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts toimpress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. — > The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below. In the first’six months of each of the five years namied the average daily cir- culation of the paper was: “ Equally significant is the showing in regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed in the col- umns of The Star during the first six months of the years named was as fol- lows: In 1885. « 1886. “ 1887. ~ 1888.
