THE MICHIGAN sENAToRsHIP.
Result of Yesterdays Balloting-An Investi-
gallon that Cuts Both Mays.

DETROIT, Feb. 14-The first ballot for sem
ator in joint convention of the Legislature,
to-day, resulted: Ferry, 45; Stout, 10; Will
lam New ton, Democrat, IL; Theo d. Hinch-
man, Democrat, II; the remainder scattering
OIL nine different candidates. Necessary to a
choice, 63.
S. S. Bailey, ex-internal revenue collector
of Grand Rapids was examined by the legis-
lative investigating committee this morning
and substantially admitted most of what the
preceding witnesses stated in reference to his
offers of offices in connection with Senator
Ferry's canvass, but said he had no direct
authority from the Senator to do so; he
knew from experience that it was
not unbecoming for an officer after his
election, to carry out promises made
by his friends He thought a man
who did not know that the question of pat
ronage had much to do with senatorial con-
tests was so unsophisticated that he should
be put back on new milk. The witness had
never approached others with offers of pat
ronage or money for support with the ex-
ception that it was understood everybody
should be fairly dealt with
A. B. Turner, editor of the Grand Rapids
Eagle, told the witness that Hubbell, or a
near friend, had offered him money into the
thousands if he would oppose Ferry The
witness further said that Nathan Church,
editor of the Grand Rapids Times made an
agreement with HubbeH to oppose Ferry for
81, 700 down and 81 800 more later.

After Receding Few Inches, the Water
Resumes Its Upward Course.

After Receding a Few Inches, the Water
Resumes Its Upward Course.
CrNcINNArI Feb. I4.-Additional gloom
came over the people this morning. caused
by the fact that the river after falling to sixty
four feet ten and three-quarter inches, be-
gan to rise under the influence of a steady
hard rain. The rain has advanced from the
west thus checking the fall, and extends
this morning as far as Pittsburg. Unless it
stops speedily there is no hope of the river
receding while there are great fears that the
great height reached yesterday will be sur
passed.
The rain seriously embarrasses the work of
the relief committee but they are doing all
they can to distribute food. Soup-houses will
be opened to-day in various parts of the city to
feed those able to get to them. Bishop Elder
has ordered all Catholic churches thrown
open to accommodate the homeless, and
sends a circular to the churches to-day ask
ing that contributions be sent to the Cham
ber of Commerce and city council relief
committees. The sinking fund trustees will
advance money on the bonds yesterday
authorized by the Legislature, SO that relief
will be prompt.
Many cases of extreme destitution are re-
ported by the relief boats, and in some cases
the frantic cries of starving children for
food are heartrending. The bakeries not in
undated are pressed to their fullest capacity
to keep up the supply of bread. There have
been some fears of meat famine on account
of the difficulty of receiving live stock, but
several thousand rescued distillery cattle can
be used in case of necessity.
The river is rising al the rate of an inch in
half an hour. 1t stood sixty-fve feet an
inch and half at ~ o'clock, when it was
warm and still raining. Reports from up
and down the river show rain The river is
falling at Portsmouth and Maysville, slowly
at the latter place.
The river was sixty-fve feet three inches,
at / o'clock p NJ, and rising two inches per
hour. Raining
The river was sixty-fve feet five inches, at
2;30 and rising. The rain is less heavy.
THE Loss OF LIFE AT THE SOUTHERN DEPOT.
The first authentic report concerning the
loss of life at the Cincinnati Southern Depot,
yesterday, was made to-day to the police at
Oliver-street station, by Herman Wilsberg, a
boy living at II Wilstach street. He says
that his brother Joseph and himself, with
thirteen other boys were on the platform
when the water broke through Mclean ave-
nue.; that the entire party were thrown into
the water that he swan to Gest street and
escaped; that his brother and all the other
boys were drowned. He does not know the
| names of the other boys. No other reports
, of missing boys have been made to the
police

Relief Measures,

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-THE work of relief is
going on vigorously to-day, and many touch
ing scenes were witnessed. The citizens have
not waited for the cry of distress before ex-
tending help, but have taken steps to. pre-
vent suffering. The gratitude of the recipi-
ents cannot be told. A relief committee
composed of leading citizens attends person
ally to the work, remaining all day at the
office or going out with relief boats. The
work is done most thoroughly and promptly.
Though no appeal has been made for
help from abroad, assistance has been
sent. Among these are $500 re-
ported by Moses Mosler, sent him
by H, H. Warner & Co., New York; 81 900
from the Adams Express Company, New
York, through A. L. Fogg local agent, and
$3.50 from the proprietor of the Gilsey House,
New York. The Masonic fraternity has or
ganized a special relief force, and has tel
egraphed to Cleveland, Sandusky and Tole-
do for boats.
