The Flood at Cinci matt.

CINCINNATI Feb. 2I.-The OhlD
River is higher now than it has been
since the great flood Of 1874. At 1880
it was IS feet inches and raising half
an inch an hour. High winds prevail.
ed this morning and colder weather
with light snow This will check the
rise though not immediately, as the
river Is still rising rapidly above. The
wind has a most injurious effect on the
railroad embankments in Mill Creek
Valley as the waves tend to clumble
in the banks. There are great fears
that the track of the Cincinnati and
Baltimore road Will be seriously injured.
1t is already abandoned, owing to the
injury to the Gest street bridge. All
business is practically suspended. The
Cincinnati Southern and Cincinnati
Northern are the only roads whose
tracks are free from water. The OBJ
struction of other tracks and the food
ing of side tracks of the Cincinnati
Southern restricts business to the rum
ming of passenger trans. The wind
this morning blew down much telegraph
line, and business at the telegraph of.
fee, is, consequently. in great confu-
sion, and business much retarded The
most serious loss this morning, IS the
breaking away of eighteen barges Of
coal from Collier, Budd & Co. There
being no steamers ready to pursue
them, the chances are that they will be
lost. All the coalyards are submerged
and obliged to suspend business. Great
inconvenience is caused by the food
ing of the first floors of the streets
along the river front, where yesterday
only the cellars were inundated.

The barb wire controversy in Iowa
wakes hot. The farmers having FORM
ed an association for the purpose of
protection shows a determination, not
to yield to the barb wire monopoly
except at the mandate of the highest
courts IN the land.
Mr. Coon, the inventor of barb wire
machinery, for its manufacture, united
with him other parties who were to
,urnoh capital to carry on the manu-
facture, the understanding being that
the capitalists were to have an interest
in the patents.
Coon afterwards sold out the whole
interest to another firm without the
consent of his partners, and that as
signment was made to Illinois parties
and the machines replevined BY them
the decree being entered against Coon
individually.
This the association and the partners
of Coon claim, leaves the latter free to
go on with the business for the associa-
tion, as they have been employed to do,
using the other patents. Farmers are
urged to JON the association, the mem
bership fee being only one dollar, 60
ing to defend any suit that may be
instituted agai~st the association.
The members alone are entitled to
have the wire at ! IL cents per pound.

The G"eat Storm Devastating the
City on the Lake.

CHICAGO, February 21.-The great
storm has reached Chicago, and, after
raining steady yesterday and last night
the weather has grown much colder.
and snow has been falling since early
this morning. Telegraphic commune
cation in most all directions is serious

A private dispatch from Rock Island,
ILL.,. says the storm ragged SO violently
there last night that part of the great
government bridge there, solid stone
and IRON structure. was blown down.
Advices from Vandalia, ILL.,, say the
Okaw River is out Of its banks, and
the bottom lands, comprising an area
of some three or four miles square, are
one vast sheet of water. An immense
amount of live stock and lumber has
been swept away. The water is high
er than at any time since 1875, and as
1t is still rising it is greatly feared that
some of the bridges on the National
road will be swept away. AT Carlin-
vile, ILL.,, ii has rained torty-eight
hours. All trains have been abandon
ed. Bridges and houses have been
swept away and great damage has
been done the farms situated in the

'Tr,In Robbers II Iowa.

II is unnecessary to 70 to Missouri
to look tor train robbers, for Iowa
seems to be growing the genuine arti-
Gle. An attempt was made to rob an
American Express messenger OF the
Toledo & Northwestern branch or the
Chicago & Northwestern railway Sat
urday. Mr.. {. Sloan, route agent, de-
clned to give details and intlmated
that the truth o. the rumor was doubt
full, but the particulars of the affair are
about as follows:
On reaching Bancroft, station on
that branch, the train stopped and the
conductor and station agent were call
ed some distance from the station to
do switching. Will, they were thus
engaged man with dark lantern
tried to enter and rob the express Office
in the depot, but without favorable re-
suits. He then went to the express
car, knocked at the door and was ad-
mitted. Covering Messenger George
L. Russell with a revolver, he compell-
ed him to hold up his hands. The rob-
Der went through train box without
realizing anything Of very great value.
He next tackled the safe. either find
ing it open or compelled the messeng-
er to unlock it at the muzzle of the re-
volver. 1t was afterward reported
that the robbers secured little of value,
but we are not reliably informed as to
the facts. After completing the search
Mr.. Robber hurriedly left the car,
mounted horse hitched near by and
hied himself away. At last accounts
hadnot been apprehended. Heis de-
scribed as tall slim man, about thirty
years old.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

No Accounting For Tastes.

"Nou had better get rid of that
stovepipe hat; you'll be livelier, with
out it," said a powerfully-built, red
faced young truck-drlver the other day,
as he nearly drove over a delicate
looking gentleman on Park row. The
pedestian had to skip in very undig-
nihed manner to escape. "You want
your neck wruug very badly" he said,
as he gained the sidewalk and looked
after the truck.
The driver heard him and pulled
up his horse at once.
"Will you wiring it?' he asked, in
gruff tones.
The gentleman took a few steps to
consider the question. Then he said:
"No I'll leave that job for the hang
man; but I'll hatten your nose, if that
will suit you
1t appeared that the proposal suited
the driver, for in thirty seconds he
stood before the fragile-looking man.
"Now Aatten my nose" he said de-
family.
1t was done before the words were
well out of his mouth, and he lay on
his back in the gutter the expression
on his blood-bespattered countenance
was that of mingled pain and amaze
ment.
"What did you strike that man for?"
asked policeman, hurrying up, and
se'zing the gentleman by the arm.
Because he asked me to strike him,
you know" was the reply, "and as he
looked like an honest, good-natured
young fellow, l didn't like to disoblige
him
"The policeman looked at the truck
man who rose slowly, and, without
making any complaint, mounted the
seat of his wagon and drove off.

The st. Charles Bridge Swrp; Away.

! The st. Charles Bridge Swep; Away.
A st. Louis dispatch, of the 2rst,
gives the following
The Missouri river at St. Charles
has risen fifteen feet since Saturday
night, and is still rapidly rising. The
shril whistle of the ferry sounded about
5 O'Clock this morning, and the fire
bells caught up the alarm, startling
people from their slumbers in expecta-
ton of finding the town in flames
The alarm turned out to be on account
OF the rushing waters tearing the boats
and docks from their moorings. Wnen
the morning broke, however. a more
serious disaster was revealed. The
ferry dock on the other side of the
river had been swept away, and of the
piles which supported the scafolding
under the temporary Howe trusses OF
the bridge not one was standing. The
water had swept everything out of
sight except the wood pier in the CEN
tire of the span and two trusses. The
engineers had said the river in high
water washed out under the bridge to
depth of sixty feet and over, and had
predicted disaster if high water should
come. The prediction seemed abou.
to be verified, but the railroad men as
serted that the pilings had nothing to
do with the structure; but were only
used for scaffolding, and that the piles
OF the center pier were driven to solid
rock, and were safe. The temporary
works supporting the middle through
span were lighter, the piles were not
driven SO deep, and hence danger was
apprehended from them. Two trans
however, passed over the bridge in ig-
norance of theperil and IN safety, but
the bridge watcher, after examining
the structure, refused to allow any
more trains to pass over, and the St.
Charles accommodation was stopped
on the approach. The watchman's
fears and prudence were justified, for at
IL O'Clock to-day the whole temporary
structure, piers and trusses under the
middle span. unable to stand the
weight of water and driftwood, fell
with crash and was swept down the
river in mass. Only one solitary beam
hangs swinging from near the cen.
Ter of the span. The work of months
vas. destroyed in moment. The 9TH
II span is anxiously watched. but those
sho know the work best say now that
he middle span Is clear it will stand
he stream; but. whether it falls or not,
confidence in it will be destroyed.

in the Secreraryshlp Of the interior. 1t

ed to put Sargent in the place, but
could not, owing to the fact that a

was pending. This caused so much
procrastination that it is thought he

Bill English and Tom Hendricks,
two distinguished Hoosle1 democrats,
are firing at one another throught the
newspapers. Bill SAYS there was more
money paid out by the democrats in
Indiana in the election of 1880 than
ever before and he in!imates that if
the amount was made public and into
whose hands 1t went, 1t would astonish
good many people. He says it may
become necessary for him to tell IN
whose hands the money was placed,
and he insinuates that some who hand
led the fund failed to distribute it but
but put it in their own pockets. He
comes to the wise, but rather late con-
clusion that he was fool for allowing
himself to be candidate.
Tom says that when he was candidate
in 1876, he carried Indiana, and there
was no parade of money on his part.
and he says it is disastrous to a party
to have man nominated because ofhis
barrel. These democratic great lights.
in their chagrin at constant defeat and
jealousy of one another, are telling a
good deal of truth and making public
the secrets of the party.-Ottumwa

The Republicans, of the State of
Tennessee, aided by the better portion
of the people of that State who have
heretofore belonged to the democracy,
in our opinion, will win political VIC
tory this year. The repudiatlng demo-
cracy and greenbackers have acted SO
badly touching the adjustment of the
public debt that the people have be-
come disguised. The debt OF the
State Is $e7 ,ooo. 900 and the creditors
had offered to compromise on SO
cents upon the dollar with long time
bonds bearing :; per cent interest. This
has been rejected by the decision OF a
democratic Supreme Court. No great
er curse can befall any community than
to incur the reputation ofrepudiators. 1t
is as destructive to the prosperity
of a people as a continuous scourge
of small-pox.-Courler.
