WORK ON THE WHARF.-Two sections of
pavement have been finished on the City
wharf in front of the block between Main
and Sycamore Streets, and the workmen
had commenced on the block below Syca-
more, and had some grading done when
the rains commenced. Work has, of course,
been suspended for the present. The rain
of Wednesday night increased the injury
to the wharf very greatly, and wide gaping
chasms were presented yesterday on each
side the Sycamore Street sewer. We sug-
gested plan when those side drains were
put in that would have prevented any
damage to the wharf, but the managers
were wiser than we, and rejected our plan.
1t will now cost the city or somebody 500
or $500 to make the 'Gesdage good. The
portion of the wharf paved appears to be
very substantial, and as the contractor has
given ample security, guaranteeing the
work for one year and the work to be sub
stantial at the end of that time, there need
be no apprehensions that the work is not
being well done. We hope that the wealth
er may be propitious hereafters that the
work may be completed to Vine Street.

GAZING IN.-Sycamore Street, at its juno

chasn Yesterday, the banks on both sides
of the excavation having eaTed in almost
to the line of the pavements, and great
assures on both sides show that there is
great danger of a further cave in This,
however, will not greatly .retard the work

to which the banks fell in. One of the eye

other looms up, and seems to brave the
bank. If the rain ceases, the work will be
resumed to-day.

% MORE DAMAGE BY THE FLooD.-The stu
pendous rain of Wednesday morning was
renewed "Wednesday evening, and contin-
ued for about fourteen hours, most Of the
time with great violence. From IL to
o'clock yesterday morning the rain was
exceedingly heavy and ineessant- The
rain of Wednesday morning so filed the
cutters on Eighth and Main Streets as to
cause large flood of water to flow into the
cellar of the large new building on that
corner to such an extent as to undermine
the back cellar walls and cause them to
cave in. The damage is estimated at sl00.
This, with the disaster at Roelker q
Blount's, is about the only serious damage
sustained in the city. 7 he sewer in Eighth
Street is inadequate to the duty imposed
on it of draining that entire portion of the
city, and during the progress of heavy
rains thewaters not unfrequently burst out
through the eyelets and overflow the earth
around. When the Locust street sewer is
completed this difficulty will be obviated,
and the Eighth Streetsewer relieved, N

THE COMPENSATION the Agent of the
Adams Express, and from J. B. Kirkman,
Conductor of the Accommodation Train,
we learn that the condition of affairs on
the lines of the Evansville & Crawfords-
vile and the Terre Haute & Indianapolis
Railroads, is not so bad as was reported or
anticipated. The only material damage on
the line of the Evansville & Charlottesville
Railroad was at the Otter Creek Bridge,
above Terre Haute, a portion of which gave
way, and prevented trains from passing for
a day or two. The passenger train left
Terre Haute for Rockville yesterday morn
ing, and Conductor Ferry expected to go
through. Some apprehensions have been
feltrelative TO the White River Bridge, now
in course of construction, but we are as
sured that there are no grounds for appre-
hension, as the trains run over on the new
structure, which rests op the permanent
stone piers, and is perfectly safe. The
only apprehensions felt by the officers of
the road, were for the safety of the tempo
rary trestle-work and scaffolding-the
material of which they feared might be
lost.
Between Terre Haute and Indianapolis
the road was not SO badly injured as had
been reported, and trains ran over on We'd
nesday. What effect the rain of Wednes-
day night had upon this road we have not
learned, but from the permanent character
of the construction ofthat road, and its adj
mirable management thus far, we are con-
fident in the belief that no serious damage
need be apprehended. The rain, we think,
is over, and repairs on all the roads will
speedily be made.

A DESPERATE CAGED.-From Deputy
Sheriff Chute, who returned from Jeffer-

representatives of the Democratic party
whom Judge Pitcher had consigned to the
gloomy walls of the State Prison, we learn
that two louisville Policemen came on
board the Rose Hite at Greensboro, on
Monday, having in charge a desperate
named James Hamilton, whom they had
arrested for robbery committed in Louis
vile a short time ago. Hamilton had es-
capped from louisville, but had been ares
ted at greensboro for some crime and
lodged in jail He broke Jail and escaped
some ten miles into the country, and it re-
quired one hundred men to retake him.
He was returned to Owensboro and re-
leased on writ of Habeds Corpus. When
arrested by the louisville Officers, a part of
the stolen goods and full set of burglars
tools were found in his possession.
The lawyer who had procured his re-
lease on habeas corpus at Greensboro.
thinking he could again get him of, has
tened by land to Hawesville, when the
Rose Hite was boardedlby the Marshal and
eight men, and the Marshal presented a

surrender of the.p prisoner. The Louisville
officers could not see it by4' them lamps, -
but poking brace of pistols each in the

to get out, +" and he got, followed by his
retinue- AT Rock Haven the prisoner
jumped overheard into the river where it
was waist deep, and made for the bank,

his hide, changed his disposition, and he

He assures us that the political Skies in Po-
sey are particularly bright. and the Union
men are confident of carrying the county
by a handsome majority. The heavy rains
of the past two days, beat down the corn
throughout Posey County very badly, so
that farmers win be unable to SOW their
corn fields with wheat, without first cut
ting up the corn. Beyond this the rain had
done no particular damage though all the
streams throughout the county were very
much swollen.
