The Wednesday Moruino Flood.

From about midnight until Wednesday
morning over the greatest portion Of the
northwest, there fell Emore rain than any
one can remember on any previous occa
sion in so short a time. The damage done
is very great, Nearly all the railroads
are badly damaged, bridges and culverts
gone, track washed away, cuts filled with
mud, and trains delayed everywhere. 1t
is about alike on all the roads. Carriage
roads and bridges are in the same fix.
And private property is everywhere dam
aged. Many.places were struck by light
ming and several lives lost. Towns situated
on side hill, like Davenport, suffered
severely Many small houses were flooded
and the inmates only saved their lives by
climbing to the top until relieved Banks
caved down wherever there was cut, and
roads and streets were rendered impassa-
BILE. A house was struck by lightning in
northwest Davenport-the home of Claus
Thlessen, on Prairie street, between Stur-
devant street and Agnes lane. The roof
and siding at one end were torn away, and
the rain poured through the openings thus
made. The family were terrified nearly to
death. Mrs. Thiessen was SO Affected by
the electricity that she became insensible,
and for an hour was thought to have been
killed. Then she gave signs of coming to,
| but for six hours she was in n comatosn
state. The house was dam aged consider
bly, by lightning, and good deal by rain
but Mr.. l. thinks he was lucky after all
People were driven from their houses in
another part of the city.
In this city but little harm was done, be.

j. Z. Everett has been in Iowa, on the
Southwestern road, and reports the hooo
as something terrible. Trains were com

to his neck.

Return of Gee. p. Frysinger and His
Attorneys.

Messrs. Geo. P Frysinger, Jacob Fry
singer, Hon. j, B. Hawley, and Hon. j.
II. Murphy, returned from Chicago this
morning. A reporter for this paper called
on Mr.. F., but he was not disposed to say
much. He says the jury found him guilty
on all six counts. His counsel made a
motion for a new trial and the argument
will take place between the first and tenth
of May. Mr.. F. says that so much preju-
dice exists against all who are connected
with the whisky business, that he does not
consider that he has had fair and impair
tial trial. The general feeling, when the
case was given to the jury, was that they
would either bring in an acquittal or dis
agree. He says that he was forced to
trial unprepared, and if a new trial is
granted (of which he seems to have no
doubt evidence will be produced which
was unattainable at this trial, and which
will place him in a different light.

River News.

The Dubuque arrived from Winona
with two bargas in tow, the boat and
barges being loaded to the waters edge.

Philadelphia and $50 pigs of lead for Allie
CLANCY City to be reshipped by the Peoria
road she proceeded to st. Louis, where,
after unloading, she will be placed on the

The d. A. Mcdonald, Capt. Sam Van
SAINT, arrived from Fairport, Iowa, better
known as "Jugtown." with two barges OF
crockery, which will be taken as far north
as Saltwater, and then return peddling out
the ware when coming down.
The river is coming up at the rate OF
eight inches every twenty-four hours and
is now eleven feet one inch above low water
mark.
A lot Of lime, cement, and other freight
on the levee waiting shipment is partly
under water. Men are at work removing
it out of harms way.
The Davenport Gazette. of Monday
morning, contained an item purporting to
have been obtained from Capt. VIM.
Henderson, of this city, and now on the
steamer Dubuque, to the effect that Capt.
w. f. Davidson, president OF the keokuk-
Northern Line Packet Co., had issued an or
der closing all bars on the steamers of this
line An ARGUS reporter boarded the
Dubuque this morning when at our levee
and inquired of Capt Henderson as to the
truth of the Gazette statement, and he
denied ever giving the Gazette or any
reporter such an item, and added that il
Capt. Davidson Intended to do So it was
news to him; and furthermore that if such
an order had been issued he would more
than likely have been informed OF it before
this.

in her when the ice went out, aud which
was beached, for safety, and awaiting re-
pairs, on the levee between East Eagle
and Washington streets, was foated off by
the sudden rise in the river last night
The last seen of the craft was at six clock
this morning floating down stream neal
the ferry dock, three fourths filled with
water and no doubt the boat has gone tt
the bottom. The yacht was valued al
about $500 and will probably be found
and raised when the river falls.

The Van Meter Habeas Corpus Case

1t is a matter of great surprise to all
good lawyers that coroner should issue a
mittimus which prevented two justices
from hearing the evidence in a case where
the person was already in the custody of
the law, and could not be released except
by lawful proceedings. Of course, when
Mr.. Drake presented the case to Judge
Peasants he had no hesitancy in granting
the writ-that writ is the dearest right of
all citizens, right no court can deny. An
English king lost his head for denying it..
The difficulty with Judge Peasants was
to find time TO hear the case. He is in the
midst Of court at Aledo. If all hands were
to 70 to Aledo he could hear it some night.
He could not probably reach here before
8 o'clock Saturday night, and he ought to
leave Monday morning for Aledo. Nc
conclusion has yet been arrived at as to
when the matter can be heard with the
least trouble to all parties, but some de.
cision will be made very soon. 1t is a
hardship and wrong to restrain any per-
lson OF their liberty who is entitled to it,

ALivery Horse Terribly Iniure1

Between one and two clock this morn
ing, while Deputy Marshal Phil Miller
and Policeman Geo. German were walking
between Eagle and Washington streets,
they heard considerable noise and after
wards the means of what they thought
was horse in distress. They went in
the direction of the disturbance and traced
it to Vim. Kerr'S livery stable on Wash
ington street. They broke in the stable
door and found that Kerr's sorrel horse,
Dixon, was astride of the stall parti,
ton, and his left flank resting on the stall
post. They aroused the men employed at
the barn and with much exertion, lifted
the horse from the post and placed him
on his feet. Upon examination, a wound
seven inches long and six deep was found

A WARNING TO CONSERVATIVES. COP
LIVER OIL.-''The well known firm of
HEGMAN & CO., of New York City,
were the first who introduced 10 this coun-
try the PURE aud UNADULTRATED COP
LIVER OIL" The established reputation
of Hegman 4 Co., as skilful and conscien-
tious pharmaologists, is sufficient guar
antee of itself of the purity of medicine
prepared by them, aud in their prepare
ton of Cod Liver Oil, they to day prepare
it in the same careful method as they have
done for the past twenty FIVE years. 1t is
important for invalids to use Cod Liver Oil
with Ilegman & Cos trade mark, and not
the inferior mixtures sold under the
pseudonyms of Cod Liver Oil.
Hegman's Cod Liver Oil can be obtained
at all first.class druggists throughout the
state. Chicago Tines.

The Frysinger Case.

Very general surprise was expressed
here at the finding of the jury IN the
Frysinger case, as it was not generally
thought that jury could find man guilty
of crime having so heavy penalty on
the mere fact that he had some crooked
transaction with some railroad agents. 1t
is a matter of no consequence what the
jury may have thought or what they be-
what was proven, what the evidence
proved; and it is the very general belief
that the evidence did not warrant verdict
of gully; that guilt was not proven, if it
existed And for that reason there was
general surprise at the result.
But juries partake of the popular opinion
that all dis.illers Lave cheated the revenue
more or less. 1t is known fact that it
was an impossibility to manufacture
whisky at profit and pay duty on every
gallon made, and the conclusion is irresis-
tible that the revenue musti have been
cheated. When whisky sells in the
market for less than the cost of manufac-
ture and the tax, there must be cheating
somewhere.
The whole country seems to be demon
allied on the subject of taxes Hundreds
Of people think it no wrong to avoid taxa
ton; to keep their property from the
assessor if they can. The assessors books
for every town aud city are wonder to
behold, in that respect. And, during the
year of high income tax it can be shown
that many men in this town who were
worth from $4,000 to $15O,0O0 each, paid
no income tax at all. Their oath showed
that they had no income, and yet they
we're known to be worth from $4,000 tc
$4,000 each. Aud some of these mel
who thus cheated the revenue are terribly
severe onswhlsky revenue robbers There
is no difference between them.
For Mr. Frysingers1 relatives there il
unfeignod sorrow, and an anxious desir,
that some way may be found to avert tn,
fate which now seems hanging over him
As matters now stand nothing short of ST,
