1.-THE RiUer here has swollen slightly
within the last sc hours-probably three
inches. Along the Upper Ohio there are
no boats of any size running, and the river
still continues in a bad condition. On the
worst bars only two feet water is reported
and the river falling slowly. At Louisville
the river was rising slowly yesterday, with
feet inches water in the canal. During
the previous "a hours it had risen two
inches at the head of the falls, and some six
inches at Portland. From Cairo ont to st.
Louis 81 feet are reported, and the river
falling at the rate of inches in "a hours.

but other boats are taking them at former
quotations.

ings this evening, at 6 o'clock, P. NJ, in

three hundred dollars.

sold her to James p. Finnie, formerly pro-
prietor of the wharf-boa at Caseyville, for
$4,000. She is to be repaired at Mound City

take charge of her for few trips.
THE Cairo correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat, of Tuesday, says with ref
erence to the recent storm:
ave were favored with delightful rain
Sunday afternoon, which came, however,
accompanied by one of the most tremen-
dous blows that ever visited Cairo. 1t was
nearly two hours coming up, but when it
reached us, struck with d violence seldom
experienced.
Coal barges were sWamped to the number
of six; the smoke stack of Chas. Gallagher &
Co.'s mill was demolished; the tin roof of
the stone depot was rolled up from one end
to the other, and gently lifted to the ground,
and tie board roof on which it was nailed
followed it soon after. leaving the freight
inside the depot about as well situated as it
would have been on the bank
The engine house of the l. C. R. r. was
entirely demolished, and piled in a heap on
top of three engines which were inside at
the time.
The bank building was unroofed, and
most of the Springfield block. Every tin
roof in town was taken off.
The parlor windows of the ST. Charles
Hotel were blown out " in lots" and gangs
of four and five men were formed to close
the DOORS"
1900 The Office of the steamer j. LaddeH
at Cincinnati was robbed of S35 on Satur-
day afternoon. Two hands employed on the
boat were arrested, and one of them, named
Varion, acknowledged the crime, and was
committed in default of ST. 200, to answer
the charge of grand larceny.

'''''' This evening we were shown a gen. !
teman who, 1t is said, received $500 Dor
month for two years for plotting in Red
river. 1t is needless for US to say, he. to all
outward appearances, looks like other men.
