Surgical.

A succ essful surgical operation was per formed Thursday on Mir Elijah Somers, an old resident of Bridgeport, by Dr. Francis Bacon, of New Haven, assisted by Dr. Lau- der, Dr. Worden and Dr. Porter of this city. Mir. Somers has been suffering from urinary calculus for 8 number of years and it was finally deemed necessary to remove them. An incision was made two and half inches long and twelve calcui removed, ranging in size from a small egg to cherry stone. Some of the smaller calculi were quite soft. Mr. Somers was under the influence of an an@sthetic during the operation, which is a very difficult and delicate one to perform. The success which accompanied it reflects credit upon Dr. Bacon. Dr. Lauder is left in charge of the case and it is expected that radical cure will be effected. Mr. Somers in very comfortable condition this morning and was doing as well could be expected. d.-Br4dgep0rt Standard, 3rd:

Disastrous FIoods-Death and Destruc-

 lion Dollars Swallowed Up by the
 Surging Waters.
 LITTLE ROCK, March 3.-A gentleman from south Arkansas reports g deplorable state of affairs. The water is fourteen inches higher than ever known. Stock has been drowned and fences and their other improve ments washed away. The levee is gone from Hushehucking to Vicksburg. This involves loss which will reach nearly $41, ,O00, GOO. At Catfish Point, Miss, the levee gave way during the night, sweeping stores, residences and outbuildings into timber. Several me- groes were drowned as they would not heed the warning given. The loss of life is numer- ous all along the river. No one seemed to realize that the flood was upon them and therefore failed to take precautions. Gaunt hunger stares the people in the face. The big rise has swept into the river bays and bayous and lagoons, which are inaccessible at ordinary stages of the water. To sum up 10000 people are left without any present means of sustenance or means to make an- other crop and are entirely bereft of money or credit, with nothing left but their land and that under water from four to twenty feet.

Building Enterprises.

The southern portion of the city is being rapidly built up. The large number of men employed at the railroad shops make rents scarce, hence new houses are constantly be- ing erected. At the corner of Howard ave- nue and Portsea street Mir. G. W. L. Bene- dict is completing fine double brick house and on the lot opposite the heirs of the late Gaius F. Warner are erecting & block of handsome houses, from plans made by Brown X StilIson. They are in the Queen Ann style of architecture, with English base ments, and when painted in the dark colors now used will be very attractive. Although but sixteen feet front they have ten rooms each, and oh, happiness for the fair sex they have twenty closets, beside being ar ranged with all the modern conveniences such as speaking tubes, bells, furnace, range set tubs, water, gas, bath room, marble man. tels and basins; and yet we understand they will be rented at less than $500, at which price they will not wait long. The real es- tate men say houses at $500 rental are the particular class of houses in greatest de- mand.

Fully six thousand people were in the building by 9 o'clock and the excitement in creased as the leading men trotted around the track at racing speed. During the even. ing an enterprising clothing firm presented each contestant with magnificent pillar of flowers with their names worked in the cen ter. The score at 10 o'clock was Hazael 532, Fitzgerald 51O, Noremac 487, Hart 48O, Hughes 462, Sullivan 455. At this time Hazael was 13 miles ahead of the best record and apparently in good condition and able to outspeed any of the other con- testants. Hughes showed 8 decided improve ment in his condition during the evening and his trainers are confident that he will make the necessary 525 miles to share in the gate money. Large sums have been wagered that at II o'clock was: Hazael 536, Fitzgerald 513, Noremac 492, Hart ASA, Hughes 466, Sullivan 460.
 Hazael continued to run up to 11:35, when having completed $40 miles he left the track for rest, being 27 miles ahead of Fitzger- aid. The receipts so far have been about $35,OOO. Hart, the colored boy, appears to be in the best condition of any of the con- testants, but does not cover as many miles as his packers desire At 12 o'clock the score stood Hazael $40, Fitzgerald 513, Noremac 496, Hart 488, Hughes 47O, Sullivan 462
 Noremac amid great cheering completed his 5O0th mile at 12:45 g. m. and then left the track for rest The score at 1 8. m. was Hazael $40, Fitzgerald 514, Noremac 800, Hart 492, Hughes 470, Sullivan 466.
