They aro the suits of MIoharl Cuff and Martin Dixon against the township of ltutler, based upon a torrlblo accident that occurred at a Heading railroad crdtilng nlmut thirteen years ago. The litigation havo been pend ing since, but by Judge Smith's decision aie apjarently set at rest for all time. Tlio accident caused great excitement at the time of the occurrence and for a long time after was roferretl'to In warning drivers about approaching mllroad crossings, but tho lapse of so many yean has caused the ma jority of tlio people to forget tho facte and recital of them in connection with a brief history of the suits Will not fail to be inter esting. On tho 8th day of August, 1881. a rurlv. who had been attending a funeral at Glranl- ville, started iu three double carriaeox. about tho middlo of tho day, to return to their homos at Lost Creok.

About threo-miarten of a milo cast of Olrardvillo, tho public road, leading from Glrardvlllo to Lost Creek, crossed a branch of the Philadelphia aud Iteading Railroad near tho old Connor colliery, now oallod tho Hammond, and the crossing is known as tha "Connor Crossing." Tlio carriages were going in an easterly direction towards the crossing, and oho hundred aud twenty feet wostot tlie crossing tuero wasalargesigu.il board standing between tho railioad and the public road, with tho words "Look out for the engine and cars" upon it. When about sixty feet from the crossing, some boys who were standing on tho breaker trestliug over tho crossing, called tho attontiou of lteddy aud Martin Dixon to a train of coal cars, pushed by an engine, approaching from tho west. Immediately the horses became restive, and the driver, leaving his seat, attempted to hold tliein, while Martiu Dixon, who had been sit ting alongside of tho drivor, took tho reins and attempted to aid in controlling them. Tho horsps broko away f.-om tho driver, mid, mil niug alpiig (he nildrilo of tho road, dashed into the coal train, which wgs.thcn passing over tlio crossing. Tlio -horeos Were dragged ard tho carrlago broken to pieces, those iusido tho carrlago were either instantly killed, or so badly in jured that they died in a short time. Suits for damages were instituted against lltitler township on tho ground that it was the duty of tho township to safeguard tlio public by erecting overhead, or underground cross-ing-i at tho place. Tho township disclaimed such a duty. The cases were tried bofoip the late .Tpdge dieen at Pottsvillo 1n April, 1888, aud Patrick Cuff secured a judgment for $300.13 and Martiu Dixon for $088.81. Tho township appealed and last December tho cases wcro argued before the Superior Court.

Six Thousand People Now Wholly Depend ent Upon the Government Relief, Which is .Being Expeditiously Distributed by Army Officers. Omaha, April 14. The Missouri river is changing its channel past Omaha, and in doinsr so threatens to destroy property to the value of several million dollars. Monday night the river broke through its banks about a mile above where It left the old ohannel $0 years ago, and Is today running two broad streams across which were two days ago fertile market gardens. These streams run into Florence lake, a rello of a former cutoff. From Florence lake the water is pouring into Cutoff lake, and it now seems only a ques tion of a few hours until Bast Omaha Is moved Into Iowa and all the prop erty in line of the flood is swept away. The government gauge records a rise In the Missouri river of but nine-tenths of a foot in 24 hours. Five miles up the river from the location of the gauge Is Where the Missouri has broken its banks in two places, This discharge of the Hood accounts for the meager show ing of rise on the government gauge. The first break In the banks occurred a little more than a mile above the original channel, "that left Florence lake in the old cutoff, and tho water sweeping down a stretch of land that has been transformed from most fer tile gardens Into a stream of 2,000 feet wide and five feet deep. The market gardens of North Omaha will be swept away, If no further damage results. The people of that section of the town nearly moved out Monday night, and were busy getting away their effects In boats yesterday. Cutoff lake is filling up rapidly, and may soon overflow, sweeping: down through the upper railroad yards and extensive plants in the north bottoms. Reports from up the river are en couraging, and it Is likely the exten sive damnire now threatened will be averted. Should the river complete the cutoff it has throatened East Omaha, with extensive factory plants, Includ ing the great Carter White Lead works, will be moved Into Iowa., and the $3, 000,000 bridge of the East Omaha ter minal company Will be left across a slough, while the thousands of dollars expended by the covornment In pro tecting the banks of the river along the creat bend will have been wasted on a cutoff lake.

The river con tlnues to rise south of Vlcksburs; and the swift current Is throwing tho waters against the Louisiana levees wiyi enormous force. A telegram from Tallequah, La., reported that the levoe at Davis Island, in Warren county. Miss., had broken, but the report was premature. The water Is washing over the levee at that point, however, and a break may occur at any hour. Many people have left the city with their most valuable effects and stock. Sev eral spots have developed in the south ern levee system. The backwater In the flooded Mississippi delta Is now about stationary. The river at Memphis con tinues to fall slowly. At Helena the river Is declining at the rate of two-tenths of a foot daily. Tlie refugees are flocking into Helena by every boat. Lieutenants A. S, llowan and M. Crowley and Captain Graham D. Fitch, U. S. A., arrived at Helena yesterday on the steamer Itasca. A conference between tho offi cers and local relief committee was held. The population of the overflowed territory was put down at approxi mately 0,000. Of these from 2,000 to 3,000 are now in Helena and scattered along the foothills for a distance of 15 miles. There are 1,000 refugees at Old Town Ridge. The relief committee reported that 6,000 people were de pendent upon aid, and $3,000 weekly was the sum decided upon to take care of these people.
