The grand jury were discharged this morning. efore being dis- charged they presented indictments under the act of 1869, againts Charles Edwards, Edward Phelps and A. D. Barber, for giving and using money for the purpose of corruptly influen- cing legislation, It is said that a de- termined effort will be made to con- vict Edwards. The latter says that if he is pushed he will make things hot for the Democrats and stalwarts, and will reveal all he knows about the Albany lobby, . It is not believed that the indictments against Barber and Phelps will be pressed. Barber is the legal representative of the New York Central railroad at Albany, and Phelps is his assistant. The grand jury say that while they believe the evidence against Barber and Phelps is insufficient to convict, that they considered it sufficient to warrant indictments and alegal inves- tigation. There was great excitement to-day over the revelation of ihe alleged proposed action by the grand jury, and the efforts to secure other indictments which, it is asserted, are under consideration, It will be remembered that Tilling- hast testified before the investigating committee to having cashed in Albany ehecks for $20,000 just previous to the day upon which Bradley clmrfi‘:: that the attempt was made to bri him. Tillinghast swore that he took it to Buffalo on the same night, left it in a safe for a week and tnall loaned it to a local bank which was short of currency. Smythe, it is alleged, urged upon the grand jury that Tillinghast was working in De- pews interests, as Depew was the at- torney for the Central road, and that the loaning of the money to the bank was arranged in order that Tillinghast could account before the committee for its dispusition; that it was proba- ble that if Tillinghast intended to use the money Depew had knowledge of it, hence 1t was urged that both De- pew and Tillinghast should be in- dicted. Tt is alleged that a vote was | M taken on the same day and lacked but two of a majority in favor of the in- dictment. But the news got out and various threats were made that there would be an exposure that would be very serious for the demo- crats and stalwarts, and many of the democrate notified their leaders that if an indictment was presented against Depew they would vote solidly for his election to the senate. The stalwarts brought a hard pressure to bear upon Smythe and the proceedings were stopped. The stalwarts showed that there was ho evidence against De‘?ew worthy of consideration, and it would be fatal to thestalwarts to be connected with any attempt to in- jure Depew's chances by appearing to support the iadictment founded on theory onl’i:, and the matter was dropged. 'he halfbreeds openly de- fied Smythe to allow the indictment to be presented. Edwards, Phelps and Barber gave bail in $3,000 each to appear for trial, i — Burstingof a W-'::r ‘Works Reser« voir, National Associated Pross CiNcrNNaTI, June 30,.—The scene at Price's Hill, near this city, where the water werks tank broke at midnight, is mo{ rfect - desolation.

A number of buildings ‘were injured near Chambersburg, a paper mill par- tially destroyed, and lightning struck @ house four miles from town, killing four children of Mr, Mish. AT WABASH, INDIANA. Wasase, Ind., June 80.—The storm of yesterday was the most se- vere that ever visited this part of the state. At Keller station, on the Wa- bash road, a train of fourteen freight cars were blown from the track and down an embankment. The ears were lifted so neatly that not alink was broken. Twenty other cars of the train were left on the track, but as the brakeman could not venture back with a signal, they were run into by the second section of the same train, and the engine and three cars were totally demolished. No loss of life is reported, but the damage to all kinds of property in this and surrounding towns _is inestimable. STOUX CITY AND VICINIT Sroux Ciry, Towa, June 30.—The particulars of the ravages by the ter- rific storm of the two days past are just beginning to come in. At Chero- oe, this state, the house of Mr. Ste- vens was completely demolished and two of his children instantly killed aud his wife fatally injured.

SAN Fraxcisco, June 30.—It is ru- mored that Mayor Kalloch will with- draw as a candidate for re-election on the promise of a nomination for gov- ernor one year hence. The working- men and democrats are not so harmo- uious’as they were a few days ago, and there is a possibility of two tick- ets in the field at the election. The report of the powder explosion at Tucson was heard at Camp Grant, one hundred and fifty miles distant. The steamer Empire caught fire early this morning at the wharf at Oakland. All the woodwork amid- ships about the engines and officer’s quarters will be replaced. The en- gines and machinery is badly dam- aged. The 1,500 tons of coal on board did not catch fire. The estimated damage to the steamer is $2,500; in- sured for $57,500. Clarkson N. Potter, of New York, reached thig city Tuesday. In re- sponse to inquiries by a reporter he said that he was on a sight-seeing tour on the Pacific coast, and he also avowed ignorance on the poltical situation at Albany on the plea that he had been absent for some time, being nominated for United States senator by the demo- crats while on his way toSan Francisco. Samuel Williams, editor of The Evening Bulletin, died yesterday from appoplexy.

The third trial heat for the Wy{nd college cup was & vel exciting affair. The Dubin University crew had the inside course and made a grand race with the third Trinity, who also g)ulled for all they were worth. The ublin finally won by two lengths, having probably worked harder than any other participants in the day's contests. The Reading crew, who also rowed in this heat, lost their head and ran astore and finally ended by swashing the - ire's| boat, The spectators did not now what to make out of their be- guvwr and their course was laughas e.

Cornell then steered for tho middle of the river and gained slightly by the change. They had not stamina enough to continue to keep up the pace which they were trying to hold. It was but for a moment that they contested the course with the Thames club crew, which rowed ahead in excellent style. 1t was pro- nounced a good and beautiful race by all who saw it, and the cheering at_the finish was most enthusiastic.

They rowed well, but were matched against two of the best crews on the river, and it was believed from the start that they would fail to get the place. The second heat for the steward’s challenge cup was rowed late this afternoon. It was contested by the Hertford} and Leander crews, and Araa a very spirited conflict.
