The Legislature is now in the
eighth week of iU session, There
is not much yet to show for its la
bors, but doubtless its committees
have a great deal of work well ad
vanced which will be beard of later
in the session.
Both Houses of Congress labored
diligently at the tariff last week, the
Democrat resisting all effort to set
tle the question. A bill may yet be
perfected and become a law, but the
prospect is not flattering, and busi
ness will probably have to remain
in its present unsettled condition
until after December next
It will be a surprise to mo6t peo
ple to learn that a military guard f
United States troops is still on duty
at President Garfield's grave. Surely
there can be no further necessity for
this, its primary object being, we
presume, to prevent any miscreant
from stealing or in any way disturb
ing the remains of the illustrious
dead.
The bill to iudemnify the county
of Allegheny for louses sustained by
the Pittsburg riots, was summarily
killed in the Appropriation Commit
tee of the House at Harrisburg, on
Thursday last. Like the Border
raid bill, it has a large element of
justice in it, but it was early tinct
ured with a suspicion ot fraud, and
members are afraid to touch it.
A LAEiiE iron failure is reported
in Boston, and another at Wheeling,
which has badly shaken a heavy
firm in Pittsburg, and yet the Dem
ocratic free traders say, there is
nothing alarming in the business sit
uation of the country, while Demo
cratic members of Congress serenely
continue their hostility to the protect
ive features of the tariff bills now
under discussion.
Hon. Marshall Jewell, died at
his home in Hartford Conn., on Sun
day evening, aged 59 years. He was
three times elected Governor of his
State, was Minister to Russia, Post
master General, and was twice a
prominent candidate for United
States Senator. His last active po
litical work was as Chairman of the
Republican National Committee of
1SS0. He leaves a widow and two
daughters.
A fleet of 43 vessels sailed from
the port of Xew York last week, car
rying 100,170 barrels of petroleum,
to foreign ports. One vessel sailed
from Philadelphia, carrying "478
barrels.
There were 103 vessels loading and
chartered to load with petroleum at
the port of New York last week.
There were la vessels loading and
chartered to load with petroleum in
the port of Philadelphia.
Our Reform Governor has evi
dently been a student of Easop's fa
bles in hia youth. After vainly at
tempting to have the Senate confirm
his nominees and political friends
as Recorder, and Sealers of Weights
and Measures, in the city of Phila
delphia, in place of the present Re
publican officials, he turns around
and by special message, urges the
Legislature to abolish the offices.
When the fox couldnt reach the
grapes, he vowed they were sour.
The Democrat in the Legislature
have agreed to support the Nichol
son apportionment bill, slightly
amended, which will give them thir
teen districts, the Republicans four
.teen, and leave one doubtful, which
is said to be composed of Fayette,
Somerset and Cambria, in which
counties the Democrats had a ma
jority of 273 at the last Presidential
election. Of course the Republicans
of the Senate will not submit to a
bill of this kind, and if the Demo
crats have determined to 6tand by it
there will be no apportionment bill
Iae-ed.
The Judicial apportionment com
mittee of the House has reported a
hDl, which after providing for thirty
six districts, composed of single
counties, makes ten additional dis
trict, embracing two or more coun
ties. Among the latter is our pree-
-Jit district of Somerset and Bedford

The value of IV-mot-ralie. prole
ie-:
i sions on the stump in favor of pro
tection is shown by the rotes of the
Pennsylvania Democratic members
of the House on the pending tariff
bill. Mr. Mosgrove invariably votes
with the Renublicans. but he is a
Greenbacker. Mr. Wise also occa
6ionally votes with them, but all the
rest vote almost uniformly with the
free traders. On Wednesday night,
when the metal schedule was up,
they all voted to increase the duty
on charcoal iron, in which Governor
Curtin is personally interested ; but
immediately afterwards, on a motion
tn rAnr the dutv on all steel but
crucible steel from sixteenths to four
teenths of a cent, they all Curtin,
Randall, Mutchler, Ermentrout,
Klotz and Bel tzhoover voted for it
Wise voted against it, but every oth
er Democrat from Pennsylvania vot
ed againrt protecting the steel indus
try of the State and country. In
deed, it is notorious here that the
Pennsylvania Democratic delegation
in the House, with the exceptions I
have mentioned, can be depended
on all the time to vote regularly
with the free traders on every mo
tion to reduce duties. The yeas and
nays cannot be called in committee
of the whole, but everyone who
notes the men who pass between the
tellers on a test vote can tell that on
every contest between the free trad
ers and protectionists every Pennsyl
vania Democrat is sure to go through
with the free traders. The charcoal
iron men made a great mistake in
putting Mr. Curtin forward to advo
cate their interests, inasmuch as
Curtin votes regularly with the free
traders, and as he refuses protection
to everything tlw, he is not in a po
sition to ask it for himself and
friends.
The public is being constantly
assured bv the Democratic reformers
of their desire to administer the
State Government on a basis of en
tire fairness to the masses of the
people; yet when the question of the
distribution of Congressional repre
sentatives is approached, it will be
noted that all these fair professions
are totally ignored, and a determined
effort is being made to apportion the
' State so as to give the Democrats an
undue proportion of representatives.
For instance, can there be a good
and sufficient reason assigned lor
breaking up this present Congress
ional district? The counties of
Cambria, Somerset, Bedford and
Blair are well grouped together, ac
cess to all parts of the district i
easy ; the interests of the people are
the same ; their daily business rela
tions has brought about a thorough
knowledge of each other ; the growth
of population has preserved the
necessary ratio for representation,
and politically, the district is as
evenly balanced as any one that can
te made; the Democrats having
carried it twice out of the last five
elections, and yet not a single bill
lias been offered, nor a suggestion
made by a Democratic member of
the Assembly that does not content
plate a dissevering of this district If
there is any ether reason for this
proposed course than a desire to
swamp the Republican, majorities of
Blair and Somerset counties, we fail
to discover it
Ex -Governor Edwin D. Morgan
of New York died at his residence
in the city of New York, on Wednes
day morning last Governor Mor
gan was born in Berkshire county,
Massachusetts, February 8, 181 1.
At the age of seventeen he entered a
grocery store at Hartford. Conp.,and
at twenty became a partner. He
became a member of the Hartford
City Council, and in 1836 he remov
ed to New York, and engaged in the
grocery business there. Twenty
years later he was one of the fore
most merchants of the city. He was
elected President of the board of As
sistant Aldermen of the city of New
York in 1849. and subsequently
went to the Senate from the Sixth
district In lS.'w he-declined to re
turn to the Senate, and was appoint
ed Commissioner of Emigration. In
IS. lie was elected Governor. He
next succeeded Hon. Preston King
in the United States Senate. In 18G-3
he was nominated for Secretary of
the Treasury by President Lincoln
but declined, and he also declined
the similar appointment tendered
by President Arthur. He leaves an
estate valued at from $7,000,000 to
$12,000,000.
The Harrisburg correspondent of
the Democratic M'atdiman, published
at Bellefrnte, by P. Gray Meek.
Clerk of the House, describing a
number of the members, has this to
say about one ci the Representatives
from this county:
"Right across the aisle and. in the

an revive a portion of our almost
forgotten history, that will be both
- . - .....
interesting and instructive to the
younger men . tl inu generation,
savs our able contemporary :
If the iHr claims that I'euusylvania
ever repudiated iU iiiiJelitexluews, and ttius
tunustied a precedent lor wuat M gum on
in Tennessee lor several years lut, it is
ye.ry greatly at tault. ibis State lias paid
iu debts, or provided tor Uieir payment,
dollar lor dollar, aud it Las never summon
ed iu creditors to sit down to a banquet in
order to rob tlient under the cover ot a pro
fuse hospitality.
'1 be cose tor Pennsylvania can be very
shortly stated. It had incurred a consider
able debt tor inlernai'iiuprovenieuts while
a fruit part of its area was unimproved
and yielded small revenue. Wheit the
slidmir-scaie tar ill and violent breaches of
the laws of tinance. which marked the -riod
from ls34 to is I. bad brought on the
collapse under the administration of Mr.
Van tin nn, tne stress was so great that tne
Slate of retinjylvania was unable to pay
the interest on its debts, at that time over
lortv million dollars. The credit of the
State was at a low ebb. Large blocks of its
bonds were held in Kugland, and the failure
to pay the interest caused much clamor.
The burden of the cuarge of repudiation
was formulated and laid upon lVnusylva
n la at that time. The Stale was in a bad
case indeed, but even at the worst its pub
lic men did not attempt to scale down the
debt to one-half, one-third or to anything
less whatever than its luce demand. For a
ume the interest was paid under the act
authorizing the issue of relief notes, for
whone payment the laith ol the Slate was
pledged. Hut this having called forth ad
verse cnticisiilti from many, Governor 1'or
ter recommended the passage of a law mak
ing the interest oh the public debt payable
in kold. Such a law was enacted in 140,
aud from that time to this no stain looking
like repudiation has ever attached to the
fair fame of Pennsylvania.
Mark, now, that the only ground for the
charge of repudiation against Pennsylvania
consisted in its temjiorary default in iay
ment of interest, and that this default was
the logical outcome of the policy of the
sauie political party which has made the
name of Ten nesoee a stench in the nostrils
ot bonet men. Hut for the destruction of
the defences of industry under thesliding
scale tariff, aud the grievous disteiuiier bred
bv the arbitrary detiam ot every law of
tinance by Andrew Jackson, there would
have been no occasion for a default in
interest payimr by this Commonwealth. It
was William K. Johnston, thn a legislator,
and a Whig, who introduced the relief act,
and saved the credit of Pennsylvania. No
man, Democrat or Whig, proposed deliber
ately to repudiate a dollar of the debt, prin
cipal or interest. The bondholders had to
wait but they got their pay. It would be to
the crerlaiting credit of Tennessee were ita
citizens to follow in the footsteps of Penn
sylvania, without missing a single one, even
that of temporary default of interest on
their full debt, and then address themselves
to the work of paying that debt dollar for
dollar. We regret that Pennsylvania ever
gave cause for criticism by its temporary de
fault, but that it never repudiated is plain
to all who may know, if they choose, that
our credit is second to none anywhere, eitli
er in States or nations.
The flood in the Ohio valley, on
Thursday last, reached a point at
Cincinnati, twenty -eight inches high
er than was ever known in the his
tory of the countrj'. The destruc
tion ot property all along the river
has been immense, while happily,
the loss of life is comparatively
small. The flood has not yet reach
ed the lower Mississippi country,
but as the Missouri river is rejwrted
breaking up, the volume of water
from it and other tributary streams
of the upper Mississippi, added to
the immense torrent pouring in from
the Ohio, will undoubtedly carry
destruction to the country of the
southern Mississippi valley. TenB
of thousands have been rendered
homeless, and the necessity for aid,
liberal aid, is immediate.
The free traders in Congress wer
delighted the other day to find that
there was a farmer somewhere in
Connecticut who is opposed to the
policy of protection. They cackled
over it with the glee of a pullet re
joicing over her first egg. The Hart
ford Cmratit, referring to the fact,
observes that, "if the weight of farm
er sentiment in Connecticut is taken
into account, it will be found over
whelmingly in favor of a just system
of protection, which, by building up
our manufacturing towns, furnished
the farmers a better market for their
products than they could otherwise
hope for."
SNKAK-THIEF POLITICS.
The hypocritical cant of the Penn
sylvauia Democrats in Congress on
the tariff question is a mutter of
common notoriety. In the cam
paign they were loud in their talk
about protection, and now that they
have an opportunity to give some
substantial proof of their sincerity
they are found with their Democrat
ic colleagues on the side of free trade.
With the exception of Mosgrove, a
Greenbacker, and Wise, the other
Democrats from Pennsylvania vote,
as a rule, with the free traders. In
playing this confidence game they
Lave been under surveillance. Cur
tin votes in favor of high duty on
charcoal iron for his district, and is
for free trade in about everything
else. On the motion to reduce the
duty on all steel but crucible Ran
dall, Curtin, Klou, Mutchler, Beltt
hoover and Ermentrout voted for
reduction, thus striking at one of the
greatest industries of the Common
wealth. These Democratic Repre
sentatives take advantage of the fact
that the yeas and nays are not called
in committee of the whole to vote
with their free-trade friends. The
party lash is paramount to princi
ple with a Pennsylvania Democrat
Tariff for revenue only, is the cry of
the Democratic party. I hat is what
the Pennsylvania Democrats vote
for. As the tariff bill is not likely
to get into tha House for some days,
if at all, there is a plot among the
Democrats to rush through the bill
as it comes from committee of the
whole by calling the previous ques
tion, and thus escape detection of
the fraud they have practiced upon
their constituency by voting for the
ruinously low rates established by
the free traders of the House.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15. The propor
tions of the calamity that is upon the
people of the Ohio Valley are hourly
increasing. There are suffering, des
olation and death in each inch of
the awful rise of the river yesterday
upon a stage of water absolutely
without precedent, and the details
of distress which called tor symtathy
in the floods in Europe except as to
loss of life, are largely repeated in
this section to-day. Twice has the
flood been stayed, and twice has it
risen again, thoueh it is now falling
and the worst is believed to have
come. The rains of Tuesday night
and Wednesday extended over a
wide area tributary to tne upper
Ohio River, and reports indicate al
most a reppetition.of the Moods in
Northern and Central Ohio of a few
days ago. But it is thought the wa
ter here will have receded sufficient
ly by the time their increased reach
es this place to avoid the extreme
damage from which the city is now
suffering, though the fall will be
checked and the river may rise
again for thirty miles, beginning with
the miner suburb oi Cincinnati and
ending with Lawrenceburg, Indiana,
twenty five miles below.
AMONG THE OTHER TOWNS.
Below Lawrenceburg and to Lou
isville the situation is the same.
Beginning with the upper suburb of
Ciucinnati, on the Ohio side, are
Columbia, Pendleton, Fulton, then
Cincinnati, Sedamsville, Riverside,
Fern Bank,' Lawrenceburg, Indiana,
Aurora, Rising Sun, Palyot, evay
and Madison. On the Kentuckey
side are the towns of Dayton, Bel-
levue, Newport and Covington ; op
posite Cincinnati, Ludlow, Bromley,
Petersburg. Hamilton, Warsaw,
Ghent, Carrollton, Milton, Westport
and Louisville. At 1 alyot ana
Yevay the river is five or six miles
wide, and at all these points it simp
ly extends from the Ohio to the
kentuckev hills, covering all the-
rich bottom lands. Its average
width is from one to two miles, aea
of vellow water. At all these points
more or less damage is tlone. evay,
Warsaw and Ghent have fared better
than the others. No detailed partic
ulars are available, but a cool guess
would place the number of people
either homeless or imprisoned at not
less than 50,000. There are lo.OUO
in Newport alone, and 5,000 or more
1 a.T
in LrfiwrenceDurg. At ijouisvuie,
New Albany and Jeffersonville it is
in many respects even worse. While
no call for outside aid has been made,
Cincinnati is being amply repaid for
her liberal responses to the calls of
charity elsewhere in the past year,
Money,contributionof various sorts.
aud offers of aid are coming in from
every quarter, the details of which,
though pleasant would be wearisome
from length. Everything is being

not in person anected by tne water
is doing more or less at it
HELTERE D IX SCHOOL-HOUSES.
School-houses are largely used for
asvlums. At the Seventh District
School-house 115 families were given
shelter last night and fed this morn
ing, and this is but a sample case.
The Government beacon light steam
er Lily starts to-morrow morning up
the river to relieve cases oi distress
along the shore, away from towns
and villages, and will be loaded with
nrovisions and other necessaries.
Manv cases of distress are expected
to be brought to light by her cruise.
The East end, up in Fulton and
Columbia, has eight feet of water
flowing through the main street
Many houses have been swept away,
and many others are expected to
follow. If the weather were not so
warm and pleasant the suffering
there would be intense. The river
is five miles wide from Columbia'to
the other side of the Little Miami
River and all houses on the bottom
have disappeared, not even their
roofs being visible. Western Avenue
on the Western side of the city, along
the Mill Creek Valley, has been de
clared unsafe, and trcvel on it is stop
ped. It is feared some of the houses
will collapse as the ground there is
all filled in and now made soft by
the water.
A TANNERY SUBMERGED.
The American Oak and Leather
Company's tannery the largest in this
section, the largest in the world, was
submerged at 1 o'clock this morn
ing.
Along Mill Creek Valley, further
up, are most of the large packing
houses, nearly all well filled, and
most of them submerged. One pack
er has 3,000,000 pounds of meat un
der water and fron 10,000.000 to 15,-'
000,000 pounds of dry salted meaU
are in the same condition. No one
has yet dared make an estimate of
the total losses here, but they will
be millions. Tnere are now only
50,000,000 gallons of water in Eden
Park reservoir, but the consumption
has been reduced by economy to
five million gallons daily from six
teen million, and hopes are enter
tained that it may last The more
so, as the fall of the water gives hope
of starting one engine at the water
works to-morrow. One or two rail
roads hope to resume to morrow.
Last night's sudden rise left hun
dreds of shcp-girls, workmen and
school-children in the city without
money for a meal or night's lodging
in many cases. The telegraph ofli
ces last night did their heaviest bus
iness since Garfield's death, mostly
personal messages from detained
travelers or communicating orders
for goods. Provisions are going up
at a fearful rate. A dozen eggs have
been sold in places for seventy-five
cents.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 15. Free
mont, a few days ago a thriving,
beautiful suburban city, presents a
mo6t pitiable sight Four hundred
families have been driven from their
homes by the floods and are now
seeaing shelter on higher land.
Houses have been carried away, cars
swept from the track of the Lake
Shore Railroad, and people and pro
visions rescued in - boats. In some
places' the deluge of water was so
sudden and so irresistible that the
inmates of dwellings were driven
from story to Btory, and finally made
their escape through holes cut in the
room.
' jEx-President Hayes said that the
conduct of the fireman of the train
that made the crossing of the San
dusky Hirer during the flood was
one w the most "'striking examples i
of cool courage and presence of mind !
that evpr within ii vrrwri. !
jence." Wednesday morning the Slide- .ive also occurred all along
icitizens at work on the Lake Short'jthe J.o. of the other roads. At one
VLT '
nn
irain. signal ai
bridge was uij-w!-
given tn:it in n

grade and proxmui uf l!.e br'uh;
rendered any effort to stop the tram
futile. The engineer and all the
trainmen jumped from the doomed
train except the fireman, who was
busily throwing coal into the fire
box. He comprehended the situa
tion at a glance. It was too late to
jump, the tram was almost on tne
swagging bridge, and, with a quicit
jerk, he threw the throttle wide open.
The engine bounded forward, and, in
an instant was making its perilous
crossing of the rocking bridge.
A cheer went up from the anxious
spectators as the engine broke coup
lings and with six cars swept safely
across the bridge. It bad scarcely
crossed the East span, which was
swaying and cracking, when it gave
way, precipitating the remainder of
the train, thirty-six cars, into the
raging flood below. As the wreck
was swept down the river a man
was seen on one of the .cars holding
out his arms toward the shore. The
cars rolled over and he disappeared.
It . is presumed that the lost man
was a tramp, who bad been stealing
a ride.
Cincinnati, Feb. 15. To say the
city of Lawrenceburg is submerged
aud almost drowned out, is not tell
ing the tale of misery and suffering.
There never was, in all this history
of the floods in the Ohio Valley, a
city, town or hamlet so completely
at the mercy ot the angry, element
as is Lawrenceburg. For three days
the citizens were almost without a
morsel to eat In the lower portion
of the city, everything is destroyed
save the dwellings, and they, of
course, must be badly damaged.
Hundreds of the houses are from ten
to fifty feet under water. In the
lower districts was where the poorer
classes lived. Driven lrom their
homes, they fled to the public build
ings for safety. All they possessed
is destroyed, and what is not totally
destroyed is rendered worthless by
the continued water. I he Reporter
steamed alongside the court house,
woolen mills, churches, iurniture
factories and public school buildings.
All of these buildings were crowded
and jammed with people rescued
from watery graves, in the larger
and more secure residence the fami
lies have been driven to the second
and third stories. Those of the more
wealthy classes extend to their less
fortunate neighbors the hand of as
sistance and gives them places be
neath their roofn.
On the principle streets the water
ranges lrom seven to iweniy-nve
feet deep. Although r jcaution had,
in a measure, been taken, and proi
ertv removed from the lower stories.
but little in fact has been saved. But
few of the merchant were able to
move their goods. The county rec
ords have all been saved, thev hav
ing been carried to the top stories of
the Court House.
Cincinnati, February 15. At 1
o'clock this morning people in the
vicinity ot No. 50, Wilstach street,
on the' border of the inundated dis
trict, in the western part of the city,
were startled by a loud explosion
which broke the glass in the win
dows of a three story brick building,
occupied by four families, number
ing seventeen persons. The build
ing was in ruins from an explosion
of fire damp or Be wer gas in the cel
lar, and all the occupants were bur
ied in the debris. A scene of terror
followed. The people, thinking that
the explosion was caused by the
pressure of water in the sewer, and
that other explosions would follow,
fled, thinly clad, to places of safety.
The fire alarm was sounded, and
the fire department responded
promptly, adding to the general con
sternation. Finding no fire, the men
began the work of rescuing the un
fortunate victims. The house was
owned by Jacob Brown, who, with
his wife, two sons and two daught
ers, occupied the first floor. Officer
Macke, a special policeman at 4th
and Vine streets, known as "King
William," occupied a front room on
the second floor with his wife. The
back part of the same story was oc
cupied by William Miller, his wife
and two children. The third flo:r
was occupied by William Hannon,
his wife and two twin daughters, two
years old.
By 5 o'clock all the occupants had
been taken out Officer Macke and
wife and a daughter of Mr. Miller,
aged two years, were dead. John and
Henry Browu and Ruckau.ann, a
neighbor, who was in the house at
the time, were so badly injured that
they can hardly recover. Jacob
Brown and his wife were rescued af
ter Beyeral hours labor, severely but
not fatally hurt. Their daughters
were taken out comparatively un
hurt Mr. Miller was badly injured.
His wife and remaining child es
cajied with small injury. Hannon
and his family were slightly hurt
The Brown brothers and Rockamann

TORRENTS ON THE ALLEGHENY. "
Pittsburg, February 15. The
heavy rains of the last tweiity-four
hours have resulted in again swell
ing the rivers to immense propor
tions, besides causing great dely by
landslides to trains on nearly all of
the railroads entering the city. Since
the first flood of last week the rivers
have remained a few feet above their
usual depth, as if ready with a few
drops to help along another rise.
Last evening both the Monongahela
and Allegheny rivers commenced to
slowly creep up their banks, and the
creeping has steadily continued. At
this time. 10:30 r. M.. the depth of
the Monongahela is twenty-two feet
six inches, and rising steadily. The
Allegheny is one foot higher.
Despatches from the head waters
report that the rain which began
early yesterday morning is still fall
ing, and that the water has been ris
ing since last night From these Te
ports it will be seen that there will
not be less than twenty-five feet, and
probably several feet more at the
city before the flood reaches its high
est point Experienced river men
and persons jiving along the banks
of the streams are preparing for a
big rise. A Urge portion of both
cities is under water, and the resi
dents of the lower wards are hastily
removing for the third time within
two weeks. All mills and factories
have also been compelled to sus
pend operations. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has already
suffered greatly by land slides.
At Jackson's mines, a short dis
tance from Bradford, both tracks are
obstructed for some distance. ' Be
tween Elrod and Alpsville there
were t-wp more elides, completely J
blockine the West bound track. At
Heckman'a Ban an engine was
thrown into the river. All trains
are fr m one to five hours iate.

LOSSES IN KENTUCKY.
Louisville, February 15. The
flood continues unabated. The canal
is forty-three feet nine inches, aud is
rising at the rate of half an inch per
hour. It is believed, however, that
the waters will cotne to a stand by
nightfall. No additional loss of life
has been reported, but probably 100
additional dwellings and business
houses are overflowed. All the
manufactories near the river are
closed, and thousands of workmen
are out of employment. Transfer
and express wagons traverse every
street, stopping at the houses of cit
izens who till them with contribu
tions for the sufferers. The citizens
h tve responded nobly so far. The
water works, on the extreme eastern
limit beyond the point and the cut
off, have succumbed, and the ma
chinery has stooped. There are two
hirsze basins containing millions of
gallons of water, and it is not thought
there is much danger of scarcity.
The gas works still hold out, but a
few more inches will stop the sup
ply. After the breaking of the cut
off dam, lights began springing up
all over the flooded space, showing
that the eop)e were climbing out ot
the roofs of the houses in their ef
forts to save themselves.
At Mavsville the river fell six
inches during the night, and is still
falling. The floors of A. Finch &
Co. and Pearce Brothers, grain hbus
r are a total loss. They contained
.'K),(XA) bushel of grain. At Fal
mouth, Kv., the Licking river is
still rising, and w'll continue to do
go all dav. At r rankfurt, Ky., the
river is falling, but another rise is
exjiected. Fifteen hundred people
are being lodged and fed. The loss
here is estimated at $200,000. At
Marietta, Ohio, there was a heavy
rain all day yesterday. lmn is re
ported at Zanesville, O., and a flood
equal to that of last week is expect
ed again.
A Woman Hermit.
During the past few davs there
has been discovered near Cumber
land, Md.. a most horrible case of
squalor and destitution. A woman,
who is a daughter of esley Clark,
a farmer living in the mountains
south of Lonaconing, was found liv
ing as a squatter in the mountains
in a turkey pen with three children,
all in a pitiable state of destitution
and tilth, lhe dwelling whs an in
closure built of logs, eight by ten
feet, and so low that an ordinary
sized man had to stoop in entering,
There was no floor, and the only
furniture was a small cooking stove
and a broken kettl. There was no
sign of a bed, not even a pile of
straw, and, to cap all, the filth was
utterly disgusting and entirely inde
scribable, lhe mother was clad in
rags and the children were naked,
save as to the thin covering of dirt
which enveloped their bodies. At
the time they were discovered they
were out of fire wood, and the only
food they had was one ear of corn,
aud had not had a meal for two
days.
The unfortunate head of this fam
ilv tells a pi'iabh story ot her suf
ferings. Betrayed in early life, she
gradually fell lower in the social
scale, and was eventually burdened
with a family of four children
Shame and poverty at last compel!
ed her to seek seclusion, and for two
years she has lived in the hut de
scribed, built by her own hands
1 he two boys were arrested as va
grants, and sent to St Mary's indus
trial school at Baltimore. The boys
were in many respects heathens of
the most degraded type. Thev did
not know the use of knives and
forks, and had never heard of the
Almighty. The mother was induced
to return, with her youngest child,
to her father.
Conditio at Cattle and Wheat ii
. Mtchlfaa and Indiana.
Chicago, Feb. 16. A Lansing
(Mich.) special says: The Jaauary
oflicial returns indicate that all kinds
of cattle are in fine condition in the
State. Most correspondents express
tear that the wheat is injured more
or lees by freezing and thawing, or
has been smothered by the late
snows. A omit i.io'Jx w busbies were
marketed from August to January.
A abash (lnd.) special savs
Much live stock and growing wheat
were destroyed by the floods iu this
section. The total damage the past
ten days: is $100,000.
An Omaha special says: Large
quantities of hay have been shipped
over the Lmon 1 -icihe tor feeding
the cattle herds upon the Platte
Valley ranges where the grass is
snowed nnder. The trains on the
Denver Short Line are compelled to
run slow, the cattle take to the track
, . . . .

The Distress at JelFersonville.
Indianapolis, Febl4. Priratein
formation from Jeffersenville, Ind.,
says the city is flooded from two to
twenty-five feet deep and five thous
and people are homeless. Ma.iy
have lost all they bad on earth. A
large number of cottages in the lower
part of the city were swept away and
hundreds of people are quartered in
second stories in public buildings
and business houses. Food is sent
to them in skiffs. The scenes of suf
fering are appalling. It is still rain
ing and the river is rising. The loss
will reach over one million dollars.
The people will have to leave Law
renoeburgh. No lives have been lost
so far as can be learned.
A General Reduction in Wages.
Pottstown. Pa,, Feb. 13. The
employes of the Pottstown Iron Co.
have been notified that after March
1 a general reduction of wages will
take place. The puddlers, who pre
vious to January received f 4.50, and
since then $4, will receive $3.50 per
ten, and other employes will be re
duced from 11 tol2 percent This
reduction will be severely felt by the
men, but it is expected they will
accept it rather than be idle. The
unsettled condition of the iron trade!

A Fnncrml on Water.
Cincinnati, February 13. A sight
that wit' not soon be forgotten by
thooH who witnessed il took place iu
the bottoms on feutulay. Il was a
tutierul on wt?r. 'I he i-orpse wns
c-tiuU Kl ur. wneph unton, oi rJuj
street The child died in the morn
ing early, and hardly had it breathed
iu last before the water rushed into
the house in torrents. The crape
was hung on the door to announce
the sad and double affliction, and
preparations were immediately made
lor its buriaL There was no time to
notify sorrowing or sympathetic
friends of the afflicted father and
mother. At 5 o'clock a neat white
casket was borne to the residence iu
a skiff and the tender remains were
placed in it There were a few
friends who had he.rd of the demise
of the child who came in skiffs to
pay the last sad tribute due the
dead. At three o'clock the remains
were placed m a skiff that was pro
pelled with muffled oars by John
Stums and Ben Boener. Thefuneral
train was composed of several skills,
and as it moved its way over the
troubled waters many were the sym
pathetic tears thct dropped irom tne
people who witnessed the sad and
solemn scene.
There was no funeial sermon at
the house, owing to the fact that no
preacher could be found, ineiuner-
al train went down Elm to Brighton,
down Brighton to Madison, up Mad
ison to Hubbard, thence to the New
port and Covington bridge, where a
hearse was waiting to convey the re
mains to their final resting place. The
grief-stricken parents followed in a
skiff containing the remains, and in
deed deep was their grief as they
were lol lowing to the grave their
last child, this making the third that
they have lost since the beginning of
the new year.

New York, February 13. The
will of the late Samuel Willetts was
filed to-day for probate, and by it he
divides his large estate among his

terrible accident occurred in the
North ward last evening, by which
Ietitia McNamee, aged thirteen, was
instantly killed. A party of youi g
friends congregated at .he residence
of Mrs. Hennessey and while they
were enjoying themselves one of the
party, Matthew Haddington, seized
an old army musket and fired it out
of the front w'ndow, telling his wife

party in the back room. Just as
Haddington fired, Letitia McNt mee
passed from her residence next dior
to enter the Hennessey residence,
and received the charge in the right
side.

Mills, three miles from Cumberland,
was shot this evening at 6 o'clock by
her five-year-old daughter. The

A Toothawtne Morsel.
This from the Madioon (Wis.)
Democrat, convevs its own moral :
Hold on ! We are cognizant of the
fact that an aching tooth was last
night cured bv the application of St.
Jacobs Oil 'The young fellow got
mad over his raging tooth in the
ball room, and rushed straightway
to a drug store where he applied the
good old German Remedy ; in ten
minutes the toothache had gone.
Shut From His Hone.
St. Louis, February
14 A des-
patch from Poplar Bluff, Mo., says:
"Jacob Vincent, a prosperous fanner.
was found dead in the woods last
Friday, four miles from his home, at
Campbellton, Franklin county. Mo.
The body showed that the deceased
had 'been shot from hi, hr, n,l
then brained with the breech of a
rifle. The theory is that Vincent
was murdered for money, and a war
rant has been issued for the arrest
of James Vincent, a cousin of the
deceased, and a stepson and son-in
law."

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In a Solid Gold Watch, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal in
needed only to stitTen and hold the engrav
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
Jamtm Borf fattnt Void WateK Cue this
waste is saved, and soupity and
ftTHEXGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of soisb
iOlJ is soldered oil each side of a plan?
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. Front this the cases, backs,
centers, berets, Hc are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
ongraving and engine tnrning.'f These
vtmm have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. Tkis w

probably fled.
