Richmond, The beautiful and Interesting
ili.iated capital or Virginia, is ts,rentened
win stt,l another disastrous food. "a heavy
rain began on Friday at 8 r. NJ. and cen-
finued to fail withou Ut iritermissiou until the
same honr Saturday evening. Moreover,
ahe river Is gorgcd with Ice for eight or
nine miles from q point three miles below
the city almost TO Dutch Gap: The water
at Richmond had risen Sunday morning
about ten feet above the ordinary level.
After then rising eighteen inches and
falling the same distance It began
again to RISE ut the rate OF two
inches an hour. But although, accord
Ing to reports last night from LynchbuTg
and other places on the upper james, and
from Charlottesville and elsewhere on tribu-
taries OF the James, she rivers We're slowly
rising ut all points, yet the volume was not
enough to cause apprehension that the
waters would be much more swollen at
Richmond before this evening. Tonight,
however, Is awaited there with great anX-
iety. The most earnest wishes are every
where felt that Richmond may escape an
addition to its long list OF woes. From
floods and fires and war it would seem that
it had already suffered enough. Under NIL its
trials it has evinced such heroic endurance,
and Istterly it has exhibited so much enter
nrise In trying to recover aud surpass its
former prosperity, that it commands uni
ycrsal admiration as well assynapathy. And
universal regret would be occasioned II it
should be visited tonight by an inunda-
ton. 49, ,r-.u.-

than as an agricultural centre will be fully

this delightful city to suffer another dis

PARKERSBURG.
An Alleged Attempt to Commit
Rape-Ear Bitten OFF.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, August 2S.-
A colored boy named Marcellus John
son, about eighteen years OF age, was
arrested last night on charge OF attempt
to commit a rape on child seven years
of age. The child was coming to town
from the country, and was approached
bv the boy, who is said to have attempt-
ed to commit an outrage upon her A
man named Willis who was near at the
time, turned back, and the negro catch
ing sight OF him broke and ran. Officers
were Immediately placed upon the track,
and found him at home last night about
ten o'clock. The boy was Immediately
taken to prison, and will be given pre-
liminary examination before Squire
Davis.
4 serious affray occurred this morn
ing between two timber merchants
named VIM. Richardson and Robert
Murday. The two men met on Wood
wards coal float in the kanawh9, and a
quarrel ensued over some mlsunder-
standing between them. From words
the men came to blows and in the tight
which ensued Murday's left ear was Bit

GRANTS MOVEMENTS.
Reports that He will Announce
His Determination to Refuse
the Nomination.

WAsHINGroY, August 27.-The au-
thoritative announcement OF Gen.
Grants Willingness to accept the Prest-
dencv Of an inter-OceanIc canal compa-
nv, under American auspices, Is re-
ceived in political circles here with
much satisfaction. 1t is universally ad-
that such an acquisition TO an enter
prise of that magnitude would insure
success, and would enable him TO lend
his influence in the United States and
in foreign countries to a project IN
which the whole commercial world
would be interested. His personal
friends are much gratified over this de-
termination, and think that he could with
all credit to his past public services aCcept
and fill such position. The politicians,
however, are not so jubilant over
this new departure, and declare that
General Grant is more a necessity TO
the party now than he was in 1868. In
his recent letters to his friends, the Cen
eral has very pointedly indicated his
unwillingness to be candidate Tor an
other Presidential term. 1t was his in
tention at one time 10 extend his jour
news in foreign lands, so as to prolong
his absence from his native land, hoping
by this self-imposed exile to avoid the
opportunities OF his political friends, and
to permit the nomination OF Republic
can candidate to be made before his re-
turn. He has finally, however, deter
mined to return, without this delay, and
it is intimated that he will early after
his return, formally announce his final
and irrevocable determination not to ac-
cept the nomination OF the Presidency II
rendered to him.

NAIL MILL STRIKE
At Belleville, Illinois.

ST. LOUIS, August 2S.-The employees
of the Belleville nail mill, at Bclieville,
Illinois, two hundred in number, are
on a strike. 1t appears that about the
first of July the company gave the men
notice that all their places would be de-
clared vacant on July 3lst. \ few days
after the mill was stopped for repairs,
and when these were completed the
company refused to re-emplOy three OF
their number, who were President, Cor
responding Secretary and Treasurer OF
the local society OF the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers OF the United States. All the
men then refused to 90 to work,
but as they could not strike without the
consent of the Vice-President OF the dis
trict, who resides in Cincinnati. They re-
ported the case to him last Friday. He
came over, and after a thorough exam
ination of the matter, authorized 4
strike, and the men are now out. The
President Of the nail company, James
Waugh, says the three persons named
above were not re-emplowed because
they made trouble among the workmen.
If the strikers hold out, other men will
be procured il possible, and the work OF
the men will be resumed.
