Rain and Floods

After one day and night and half a day of
dry it began again to rain about noon Sun
day, and since that time, there has been
hardly moments cessation, the fall being
very hard most of the time The conse-
quence is high waters again-higher than
they have been yet. The creeks were
swollen yesterday higher than ever before
this season, spreading over the flats in
places. The river which had gone
down to about 12 feet, rose all day yes
terday steadily. At $3.50 last night it regis
tered about 16 feet, rising about inches an
hour. At 1890 this morning, the last
observation made by this news -gatherer,
there was about II feet tide water, rising
still about 4 inches per hour.
boatman from Hawkins County, who
landed at our wharf yesterday, reports
heavy rains up the country, and the rise was
likely to continue during the night. The
absence of snow in the mountains, and slow
ness of the rain, will prevent anything like
a freshet, however, and no danger is
apprehended here.
In February, 1875, the river reached A.
20 feet, and in 1867, 45. rs feet.

The call of States having been
concluded, and 4O2 bills appropriately
referred, the Speaker announced the
regular order to be the presentation
of resolutions to suspend the rules
under authority of the committees.
Mr.. Cook, Of Georgia, on behalf
of the committee on public lands,
moved to suspend the rules and
adopt the resolution calling on the
Secretary of the Tresury for informa-
ton as to what action has been taken
by the Solicitor of the Treasury to
sell or lease all real estate and re-
parian rights now owned by the
United States at Harper's Ferry,
w. Va. Agreed to.
Mr.. Garrison, of Virginia, on be-
half of the committee on the District
of Columbia, moved to suspend the
rules and pass the bill to incorporate
the Garfield memorial hospital. A
half hours debate, which, under the
rules, is allowed upon motions of this
character, disclosed some objections
to the measure on the ground that
there were already enough hospitals
in the District of Columbia for all
practical purposes, and that the in>
corporation of another would have
the effect of bringing to the district
persons from adjacent States who
should be taken care of in various
State institutions, and that there was
nothing in the bill which would
prevent interpretations from applying
to the government for assistance.
The motion to suspend the rules and
pass the bill was defeated. Yeas,

two thirds in the affirmative

The Fate Of Jesse Williams.

SAVANNAH, Ga, January 16.-Jesse
Williams, the negro convicted of
murder in June last, was hanged at
1890 o'clock, the hours being fixed
by himself. The execution was in
private, but nearly 5000 people
gathered in the vicinity of the jail
yard. Williams expressed desire
to address the crowd and was per
mitted to make his appearance on
the front steps of the jail.
A strong detail of police prevented
the crowd from surging upon him,
and he spoke for ten minutes, warm
ing his colored brethren to lead bet
ter lives, and attributing his fate to
gambling and drinking. He was
perfectly cool and selfepossessed,
and closed by saying he was per-
fectly satisfied to go, and that his
peace was made with God. He was
then taken into the Jail yard and
conducted to the scaffold, accom-
panied by co!ored minister
and the sheriff and deputies.
After a brief prayer on the scaffold,
the minister retired and the black
cap and moose were adjusted. Will
hams remained perfectly firm to the
last, and just before the trap was
sprung said, 'Good bye" in clear
tone. His neck was completely
fractured by the fall, and life was
pronounced extinct in 13a minutes,
when the body was cut down and
turned over to his father, who carried
it to South Carolina for interment.
Williams did not allude to the
crime ir his remarks this morning
but made a full confession several
days ago.

Fire and Robbery.

RICHMOND, Va, January 16.-A fire
last night totally destroyed j. r.

at $4,000; insurance $4,000.
During the progress OF the fire,

AT meeting of the city board of
education held yesterday, after pro
longed ballotting, Mr.. E. J. Sanford
was elected president of the board
for the ensuing year. The selection
is a good one and the cityis fortunate
in securing the services of so
able a gentleman in this impor-
tant position. 1t comes to him en-
tirely unsought, but he will bring
into the management of the schools,
energy, good judgment and qualifi
cations of high order.
But Notwithstanding the excellent
selection made, we cannot refrain
from expressing our regrets at part
ing with the valuable services of Mr..
j. A. Rayl, who has discharged the
duties Of the position with so much
zeal, impair tiality and ability. He
was one of the first and most zeal
Gus friends of the city schools. He
has contributed as much, if not more
to their success than any other one
man. He has given bis time and
attention to them for years, and we
are sure that majority of the people
of the city will agree with us that he
has done his work well-so well that
many will be surprised to learn that
there was any objection to his re-
election.

Hot and Cold Drinks.

A correspondent of KnoaCZedoe calls
attention to some of the disadvan-
'ageS OF hot drinks. Cold drinks, he
says, are natural to man, though most
people nowadays are so used to hot
drinks that they do not feel satisfac-
tlon-real'y stimulation-unless they
nave them, Hot drinks are Injurious
10 the tongue, for they deaden it's
sensation, and, after taking hot soup
or drink, the tongue becomes quite
numb and unable to taste the finer
haYors ofa dish. The teeth are great
~ injured by them, and many dem
lists say carries decay is due to them
alone. They crack the enamel, and
thus allow carries to set in. When
carries has once set in, hot drinks are
a common cause of neuralgia.
Hot drinks are specially hurtful to
the STOMACH. They cause irritation
OF the nerves of the stomach, and con-
sequent mild inflammation of that
organ, so that after a hot drink the
stomach is red and congested in time
debilitated condition is set up. A
temperature of 100 degrees Fair. also
destroys the active ferment of the
castle JuiseADepsid-and so leads to
indigestion. If the stomach is at all
dlSorded, hot drinks give rise to much
grlplng pain, and in many cases to
vomiting. In case of diarrhma, too,
hot drinks only increase it, while cold
ones tend to lessen it,
Thirst is not common in winter.
unless eugary, salty or hot spiced
foods have been taken. In cold
weather the air contains more mois-
ture than in hot, and in cold weather
there is less perSpiration, Hot drinks
increase the volume of heat in the
body, and if that is not required it is
quickly got rid of by the skin. Water
is the best thirst quencher. but if
simple food be taken the need of
drinks will be small. Many vegc-
tarians drink nothing from month to
month, the only fluid they get being
the juices of the fruits which they
eat. But pleasant drinks, like tea,
coffee, etc.. may be taken lukeWarm
for long time with little apparent
damage. The least injurious is cocoa,
made with plenty of milk and allow
ed to stand until nearly cool. A good
test is to apply the little finger to the
drink and if it be not hot to it, then
it may safely be taken.

The Best High Jumps.

Guiteau'S crime and subsequent inn

with the arrest and trial by court
martial of Mason, is related. The

charge of the military duties of
Mason. 1t is stated, in reference to
this decision Of Swain's, that he con.

his findings, the fact of the judgment
