Griscom left for Chicago two days ago, and
has no doubt, ere this, placed himself at
the disposal of DR.. Haines, who is de-
scribed by prominent medical men here as
fully competent to the task he has under
taken, with some reluctance, by the way,
both as a chemist and Psychologist. 1t is
expected therefore that the present expert
ment will furnish what the Tanner and
Devel affairs did not, namely Many valu-
able data as to the chemistry and physi-
ology, general and microscopic, Of pro-
tracted starvation. Griscom is rather I'M
der middle age, Of a tolerably compact
physique, and the widest of enthusiasts.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Break
Jail.
CHICAGO, April 20.-Several desperate
characters, awaiting trial for murder, bur-
glary, ETC., in the county Jail, made a des-
perate but unsuccessful attempt to escape
last night. Rodney Barus and Aleck
Mckay were the ringleaders. Having pro-
cured revolvers from friends they sud-

ing to shoot them if they spoke a word. Both
made an outcry, however, and the keepers
were aroused and filled the Jail with police.
In the meantime, however, the prisoners
had made an attempt to blow down the
wall with powder, but succeeded only in
making a loud explosion and a great dust.
They had also felled an old turnkey and
kicked him severely, and Aleck Mckay
concluded by shooting twice a colored
prisoner named Daniel Coleman, who was
assisting the keepers, and who will die.
Effects of the Flood.
RocKLAND, April 19.-The food of
Rock river here is unprecedented. Il has
already thrown 1900 men out of employ
ment and is still on the increase. The water
power manufacturers will lose thousands of
dollars, as they were running to their full
capacity, and this is their busiest season,
they having large orders ahead. The low
lands on either side of the river, north and
south OF this city, are several feet under
water and the occupants of houses are
obliged to leave in boats. In the city
Knowlton's machine and wood shops are
submerged three feet. The Central Furni-
ture Company's asement is filled up and
their large piles of lumber are in danger of
floating off. j. P. Mannis shops are sur
rounded by water. N. G. Thompson's
shops are seven feet deep in water. The
distillery of Graham is flooded, and the
cattle have been driven off. Chick Il
Rodd's Touring mills are well wetted and
one of the buildings is in danger. Their
cellars are flooded and many other firms
and private individuals mourn over irrepar.
able losses. There are some hopes to-day
that the water may fall.
Nearly Up to the Old Mark.
OMAHA (Neb.), April 20.-The river still
continues to rise here, and at 6 o'clock
last night it was IS feet above low water
mark, which is within three feet of the
highest point reached by the first flood.
The levee is being fast flooded again. The
smelling works are inundated once more,
and have been shut down. A gang OF men
worked and watched on the Union Pacific
tracks, which have just been repaired.
The lumbermen, 80 far, have kept the
water out of their yards by building dams,
but they now expect to be flooded every
moment. Six or eight inches more Of q
raise will inundate the Union Pacific shops
again. At Sioux City the water came up
within one foot Of the highest point, and
exceeded all previous rises except the one
of a few days ago. The same result is ex-
pected here. The river Is falling above
Sioux City.

Washington special says, Congressman
Jorgesen. of Virginia. called at the Repub-
lican office last evening spelling for a fight.
He had a card which he wished inserted in
answer to reflections upon his course to-
ward the Virginia Liberals. Geo. q. Cor
ham, the editor in chief, refused to give the
card q place, whereupon Jorgensen said he
denounced Gorham as a slanderer and a
dirty dog. He was hustled out of the office
by his friends, who were uncertain as to
where the matter would terminate, and Jor-
took the card to Stiltson Hutchins'
paper, the Post, where it appears this morn.

Page ON the Situation.
WASHINGTON, April 10. Congressman Page
yesterday said it would be cowardly in the
party not to support Malone,
as he has announced to the public on the
hoor of the Senate that he is in favor of a
free ballot and a fair count. On this lib
eral, national principle alone, independent |
any local differences, the Republicans of
the country and Of Virginia should unite
Malone in opposition to Bourbon
rule. Malone represents opposition to
these principles against which the Repub-
licau party has been contending.
