Youhave heard of that hack^^neyed chestnut called ' Clear^ance Sale^ ^ well you have^never seen one in this city that^as an actuality brought one^half the benefit that the one we^propose to inaugura'e durinp^the coming week. Mmy people^start a ^Clearance Sale^ on wind^some on pretense, but very few^on facts and we leave it to a^dixcriminating publi i to judge^which class to put us in. We^could write a history about^^Clearance Sales'' tbat would^prove interesting and parts of it^make a horse laugh, but at pre^^sent our bu-in-88 is ' Clothing^^while literature is not our diver^^sion and as merchants desirous^of being placed in the good^class w^ are bound to observe^the rules ^Business first and^pleasure afterwards.

Philadelphia.Aug. 1.^The waters^in the Schuylkill yesterday attained the^highest point reached In this city for^twenty years, involving destruction to^property estimated at from 810,000 to 820,^000. The park drives were submerged,^boat houses flooded and some of the street*^near the river banks were under water to^mm lepth of between four and hve feet,^The cellars of two paper mills and about a^d^ zen houses were flooded. All work at^Man^)unk and the I'encoyd ironworks^opposite, was stopped owing to the en^^croachment of the waters.
1'hroughoutthe eastern section of the^state the rain fall was very heavy. Many^houses and mills along Brandy wine creek^in tbe vicinity of West Chester and Down^ington were flooded and business was seri^ously interrupted. At Wiliiamsport the^bridges over the Susquehanna had to be^baliasted with heavily laden coal cars. A^large section of the Schuykill valley in the^vicinity of Norristown and Conshohocken^is almost entirely under water. Consider^^able damage was done, but no lives were^reported lost in the state. Reports re^^ceived to-day are to the effect that the^water in nearly all the larger streams is^subsiding.
Plain-field,S. J., Aug. 1.^The pres^^ent estimate of the damage done by the^f ood from the broken dam at Keltville t^^Damns Dam, a distance of five miles, is^8250.000. The streets in Plainfield were^damaged to tbe extent of 820,000 The^large upper dam at Feltville is reported^leaking badlv and it may break any time.^Mi.re rain will prove disastrous. Tbe dam^is twenty feet high and it holds back a lake^a miie and a quarter long, from 900 to 600^f.-et wide, and thirty feel deep in some^places, if it gives away Scotch Plains and^Kan w ood will probably be swept out of^existence and Plainfield will be In una^dated.

OurNeighbor. Calling on the Powers That^Be tor Protection.
NewYork, Aug. 1.^A special from^Montreal says that city is in a perfect^furore of excitement over the seizure of^tbe schoonor Black Diamond. Express^^ions are beard on every hand that unless^the vessel is released and full indemnity^paid by the United States the government^must stand the consequences of what may^follow. There is almost as much disgust^expressed at the action of England in the^business, and if she will not help Canada^to uphold her honor it is openly hinted the^sooner Canada takes the defense of tbat^honor in her own hands the better. Both^morning papers publish strong leaders de^^manding immediate action on the part of^England or our own government to prevent^these seizures, or else break off relations^with tbe United State* until a final settle^^ment of tbe trouble is arrived at

JOHNGRASS OPPOSED.
TneLeaders of the Sioux Ditticuit to Win^Over.
Bimmarck,Dak., Aug. 1^ The commis^^sioners have had their council with tbe In^dians. John Grass has been tbe only^speaker, but he has evidently voiced the^minds of all. Ue has said repeatedly that^he saw no inducements in this year's bill^to change from his opposition of last year.^There has not as yet been a single public^expression favorable to the bill by any of^the Indians. This combination cannot last^much longer. John Grass and Gal', it is^thought, will eventually sign. This would^insure success.

Thetire Producer* Want a DecUlou^the free Lead Question.^Salt Lake Citt. U. T., Aug. 1^The^Ore Producers' association passed a resolu^^tion at its meeting to-night reciting that^the duty on lead ores provided by law was^evaded, and in 1888 50,000 ton^of lead in ores were brought^into the country duty free: that^still greater importations are threatened^in 1*M^. Tbe ruling which allows this was^opposed in IW without avail, but when^tbe hearing was fixed for May 15 it^awakened the hope tbat tbe newadminista^tion would remedy tbe wrong; that three^months have passed without a decision and^the importations continue, piling up a^surplus of lead ores and lead which will^for a long period depress prices; that many^American mill hands are thrown out of em^^ployment and tbat continued delay in de^^ciding will be nearly as fatal to American^mining as an adverse decision. They call^on tbe president and treasury department^for prompt and decisive ac'ion in the inter^est of mining and to the advantage of the^revenue.

Nowthat Sullivan is sun to go to Missis^^^PPi. quite a number of bis friends and^backers in this town are growing worried^over the situation of affairs. The fate of^Sullivan may be their fate before many^u^w moons are seen, and they are wonder^^ing what the next move of Gov. Lowry^will be. They are at present an unhappy^lot of sporting men. Now if, according to^this law. it is possible to extradite Sullivan^it is equally easy to secure possession ot^the bodies of Wm. Muldoon, Charley^Johnston, James Wakely and some re^^sponsible representatives of tbe New Tork^Illustrated News, the backers of Sullivan^If Gov. Lowry asks Gov.

NewYork. Aug. 1 ^John L. Sullivan^was taken before Judge O'Brien in the^supreme court chamber this noon and^through his counsel admitted his identity^as the prisoner called for in the writ ^(^extradition. He said be was willing to go^south, and tbe judge ordered that be be^turned over at once to Deputy sheriff^Childs, of Jackson, Miss.
CounselNicoll informed the judge that^before the arrest was made Sulli ran bad^made up his mind to go back voluntarily^and surrender himself to the authorities of^Mississippi, feeling confident be would be^justly and fairly dealt with. He further^said when Sullivan entered r.u, tbe com^^pact to fight Kilrain be understood the^battle ground would bave been in Lou si-^ana. and not until the night before the^fight was tbe place of tbe fighting^changed to Mississippi, and Sullivan^did not really know until tbe rmgsid-^was reached that he was in tbe state of^Mississippi He did not change tbe ground^and be bad no intention of breaking a law,^bat be bad no alternative bat to fight or^become a poltoon. Sullivan is now ready^to go back in cbarge of Deputy sheriff^Ct.ilds as soon as that officer desires^Assistant District Attorney McDonald took^a receipt from tbe deputy sheriff for the^body of Jobn L. Sullivan, who was then^banded into his custody.
Alltbe tight seemed to bave gone oat of^Sullivan when he reached headquarters^again aft^ r tbe surrender in court. Said^be: ^If I had known there was a law^against fighting in Mississippi I would not^have fought there. I would not have made^myself liable to arrest Well, 1 will go^back and take my medicine.^ He chewed^the end of a cigar awhile and continued:^^Anyhow I would have fought that fellow^Kilrain. I was goaded to it and tbe whole^gang would have walked all over me if i bad^not licked him. I suppose I'm the, scape^^goat now for doing it. and Kilrain will go^free. Poor fellow, but they don't want^him^he's licked.
Three-quartersof an hour after Sails-^van's arrival at headquarters he was ready^for his trip, and tbe police board granted^six days leave of absence to Detective Ser^^geant Adams to go along with him to Ktch-^burg. Sullivan, after shaking bands with^Inspector Byrnes, was transferred to tbe^keeping of Agent Childs, of Mississippi,^who made out a receipt for tbe live stock^as follows:

Wyman found it^an easy matter to pick the purse, which he^did, the crowa that swarmed around the^gaming table being rather large and par^ticuiarly interested in a player who was^stacking up the blues.

Yesterdaywas tbe time designated for^receiving proposals to furnish the city with^a supply of water. At Clerk Botkin's^office three were received, which will be^opened at a special meeting of the city^council to be held this evening. The ten^^ders of the proposals were A. K. Gates,^representing the Woolston company; Mas-^sena Bullard, representing T. C. Power,^and Jos. Davis, representing, it is sup^^posed, a new syndicate. It Is stated that^Mr. Bullard received a dispatch yesterday^from Mr. Power, who i* now in New York,^authorizing him to submit a proposition for^him. Wben Mr. Woolston left tor New^i ork recently it was given out that hi*^mission, in a measure, was to meet and con^^sult Mr. Power, upon the latter'.- arrival^from Europe, as to tbe consolidation^scheme, it being generally supposed here^that Mr. Power would agree to tbe com^bine. That Mr. Power requested bis at^^torney at the eleventh hour to make a pro^^posal to the cty leads to tbe belief that he^and Mr. Woolston could not agree.
MayorFuller is stronglv in fav^,rof tne^city owning its water supply and he re^^marked yesterday that a source of supply,^had been discovered which will furnish^ample water and which the city may pur^^chase on very favorable terms, where^the supply is he would not divulge fearing^that others might step in and throw ob^^stacles in the way of the city procuring it.^It is hardly likely tbat any definite action^will be taken at to-night's meeting. City^Engineer Miller's report covers a descrip^^tion of the new source which is likely to^receive favorable consideration. There is^a growing sentiment that the city should^own it* own water at no matter what cost.
Anotherwater source has been brought^tight by a gentleman who sells lightning^rods, and be bas prepared a detailed de^^scription of tbe place and bow tbe water^may be conducted to the city, for tbe en^^lightenment of the city fathers. He claim*^to bave discovered a lake In tbe Elkhorn^mountains, about thirty-five miles distant,^which :s y.orjo feet above sea level and over^4,i^^) feet higher than Helena. The lake 1*^enclosed in a natural reservoir covering^fifty acres, its greatest depth being forty^feet and the quality of the water is unques^^tionable. He says it has 2 H00 inches of a^Mow and could be conducted by pipes to tbe^city by gravity and will come in with^greater force than Helena has ever had.^1 le receutly sent two men to the place to^file water right locations on tbe laAe for^him and these bave been placed on record^in Jefferson county. To convey this water^to Helena will be expensive, he says, but^t will be an expense which ends when the^work is once completed.
Aboutfifteen miles northwest of Helena^a supply or water has been found and, it is^thought by some that this is the source^from which Judge Davis propose* securing^his supply. It is said his scheme is to or^^ganize a company to bring tbe water here,^with a stipulation in the contract with the^ily that at a stated period, or whenever^the city becomes able to buy, tbe city will^buy the company out, and during the ha^terval to pay the company inteiest on their^investment
Theseveral propositions will be made^known at the session of tbe council to^^night, which will be principally devoted to^water.
WORKSLIKE A CHARM.
MayorFuller Well Pleased with the Fire^Alarm System.
TbeGaraewell electric fire alarm system^was put to another test yesterday under tbe^inspection of Mayor Fuller. Box St was^tested, the result being that the alarm^worked admirably, and the mayor feels^proud of the system. The tower bell regis^^tered accurately the number ot the box, and^tbe genera! alarm of twelve rings was also^sounded. It is proposed to test tbe alarm^once a month until every box is tried.
SamR chardson, wbo has so long and^faithfully kept a vigilant eye on the city^from the watch tower, will toon step down^and out, his services being no longer to c^ ^-^sary under the perfect working ot the new^^re alarm. By pulling down the h^* k in^the slot ot the fire box . the tower hell^nigs simultaneously wiih the regiateiing^gong in the central slat: rfi.d at the^waterworks. Fire Marshal V\ itmer says^tbe purchase of the Gsiuowell electric^larm is one of the best i xp'-i.ditures tbe^city ever made.
SALVATIONARMY
TheirMeeting, on l^ road way Alleged to^a Nalsanca.^The Salvation Army still holds the Hel^^ena fort and its leaders are very indepen^^dent Nearly every evening they congre^^gate *t the foot of Broadway near the^arcben building and keep up their min-^istrel performances for some time. On tbe^third floor of the build!ng is the A. O. U.
hall,where several secret lodges meet^and tbe place is occupied by some lodge^or society ewery evening. Just about the^time the red coat soldiers attack tbe devil,^bich they seem to think hovers particu-^arly on tbat corner, the secret societies^are prepared for business, and they claim^tbat owing to tbe din and confusion below^they are compelled to postpone their busi^^ness until the army moves, and rberefore It^is a nuisance. They threaten to abandon^the hall if the army is not compelled to^hold its meetings at some other place, and^to-night will petition tbe city council to^see If tbe Salvationists cannot be made to^keep away from there.
