MICHIGAN MATTERS.
The senatorial Fight - Investigating
Hubbellism.

DETROIT, Mich, FabI uary 4.-After the
first ballot to-day for Senator the Legisla-
ture took a recess until o'clock. Upon
reassembling five more ballots were taken.
On the first two no change was made in
Ferry's vote, but on the fourth seven Flu.
sionists went over to him, running his vote
up to So. The fifth ballot deepeued the
interest as one more accession scored from
the Fusion ranks, swelling Ferry's total to
54, ten less than the number neces-
sary to choice. The sixth ballot
was taken amid much excitement.
The eight new recruits from the opposition
ranks again recorded their votes for Ferry,
but one Of his staunch supporters who de.
serted him under similar circumstances on
the last days of voting before the recent
ten DAYS recess, again bolted. The joint
convention then adjourned for the day.
The last vote stood: Ferry, SO; Newton,
DEM. 35; Stout, 5; Willets, IL; Burrows s;
Republican scattering ii, on seven diiier-
ent candidates.
The investigating committee this after
noon had before them Nathan Church, editor
and proprietor of the Grand Rapids Times,
alluded to in Baileys testimony. He ad-
mitted having received money at various
times during the summer and fall from
Hubbell, which had beeh spent giving din
ners and other entertainments to help on
the opposition to Ferry. He bad spent
81, 200 to 81, 300; couldn't say precisely how
much. His opposition to Ferry, he de-
clared, arose from the bad treatment his
friends had received in the matter OF ap.
pointments. He hadn't received anything
from Hubbell since he had been in Lam
sing,

LOUISVILLE.
LII Former Marks Now Under Water,

LOUISVILLE, February 1.-THE river has
risen slowly but steadily all day, and is
ICw rising an inch an hour, but owing to
Preparations made, less damage is being
done than at the beginning of the food.
Ow ing to the fact that the former gauge
marks are far under water, discrepancies
occur in the statements OF the stage OF the
river. 1t is enough to say the water Is
higher than ever known here before.
The stage of the water at this hour can safely
be put at AZ feet at the head OF the canal
and IS at the foot of the falls. Coming all
along seven miles of Louisville river front
10. day the water has been creeping into
the second stories of the buildings and
widening in extent towards the western
bound arches. Perhaps one hundred addi-
tional buildings were taken more or less
into its wa.ery embrace since the last re-
port this morning. The heavy embank-
ment of the Short Line railway, not far re-
moved from the river front, broke at the
foot Of Clay street for sixty feet, one
point OF earth being swept away and
under water from First to Wenzel streets,
= distance of nine squares. The depot is
flooded from four to ten feet. A lot OF
freight cars, kept OH the track to prevent
break, were tossed aside like bubbles,
and are lying in the water at the
side of the track. The sixty foot
break caused twenty seven houses TO be in
undated that were hitherto protected by
the fill. No loss OF life occurred by reason
of the break At 10 o'clock this morning
a man and woman with trunk were seen
in a skitf in portion OF the cut-otf district
known as the Chute. They had no oars to
propel the skif A party set off to rescue
them, but before they could be reached
the skiff struck log and broke in two
parts. The man and woman were lost
The trunk was found broken open. 1t con-

nifty. and they have about come to the con-
clusion that their business must be closed
in Baltimore.

PHIIADxLpmA, February 13.-Ths circles
OF society in this city have been interested
the past few days By the presence at the
lafayette Hotel Of newly married cou-
ple, whose union is associated with some
70 mantle features. ]. Carroll Barney,
gentleman said to be known in New York,
iourneyed to Cleveland, Ohio, about three
weeks ago to trapsact certain business.
His affairs were not sufficiently arduoas
to prevent his taking part in the friVolities
of society, and several invitations came
to him at his hotel. On Thursday,
January 10. he was present at a German
given by lady of social prominence, and
there he was in Dtrodlced to young lady
with whom be waltsed several times. They
parted that plight to meet again the next
day and the next. 1t was a clear case OF
love at first sight, nd the troth was plight
ed before Sunday had passed. The follow
ing Monday, January %, the young lady
became Mrs Carroll Barney.
Opportunity Favored
the sudden determination of the lovers.
The parents OF theyoung lady were absent
in Florida and she was staying as guest
in friends house.. There was no stern
parent to watch her footsteps or fond moth
er bid her reflect; besides the years of her
life scarcely number IL, while her lover
and husband is deep in the thirties. They
left Cleveland for New York and passed the
first few days at the st. James Hotel.
Letters were written On both sides to
parents, and extremely argry replies came
by return mails The venerable papa OF
Mr.. Barney became so excited that the son
and daughter. in law deemed it wise to re-
move their quarters to this city. On Feb
ruary 4th they registered at the Lafayette
Hotel, and many people acquainted with
Mr.. Barney, Jr., called to see him, and
came away delighted with his wife. The
state of affairs, howeveI soon leaked out,
especially as the unllcky bridegroom is
dependent altogether on his father for
funds, Mr.. Barney, ST., made his appear
ance at the hotel last Tuesday, but the tears
of his new daughter.ir.la law and the pro:es-
tations of his Benedict offspring neither
wrung his heart or his purse.strings. Mrs.
Barney's mother wrote in kind manner,
but the ship of the rev household is still
beating about on the waves OF uncertainty,
for Mr.. Barney, Sr., remains obdurate. On
Saturday the young people moved from
the hotel TO lodgings somewhere in the
city, where they are awaiting events, which
may be fastened by the meditation OF
friends. A number of society people left
cards at the hotel.

heavy and incessant rain which has been

Monongahels and Allegheny rivers COM

cation of continuing through the night.

water rising rapidly. At this point the
river commenced swelling at 4 P. N. and
has since been coming up very fast. 1t is
impossible to say how much water we will
have, but old river men look for q higher

'PARKxRsBURG, w. Va, February A.
The following persons were sentenced to-
night by Judge Jackson, of the Federal
court: Peter Z. Pagan, Thos w. Mannion,
J. B. Shshan, four yesrs for counter
feiting; James N. Cunningham, two
years; Westly Cunningham, three years;
Francis D. Lutz, one year; Jacob Steele,
two and half years; ID. A. Hickman, two
years; P. Harvey, two years for the same
offence; Pat ONeil, VIM. Hart
and JEFF Flanagan, five years for rob
bing the postotiice at Central
Station; Albert Dawson, of Roane county,
for mail robbery, three years. The scene
presented in the court room during the
time occupied by the court in passing sem
tence upon the prisoners was one OF
The Most Pathetic
ever witnessed in this court. Mannion,
chief of the showers of the queer, was the
first to receive sentence. He was attend
ed by his wife and daughter. The latter IS
the alliance of Miller, another Of the gang
who has not yet been sentenced. The agony
of the wife and daughter as listened to the
words of the venerable Judge which con.
signed the fond husband and loving father
to a felon's cell, was touching and drew
tears of sympathy from many
of the spectators. Shahan, a man
passed middle age, was sustained through
the trial by his wife. His daughter was
also present tonight, and as the Judge with
heart full of sympathy sentenced
the erring husband and parent to
the prison cell they gave way to their
emotions. Their heartfelt sorrow, express
ed in audible sobs Of anguish, went to the
hearts OF the court and spectators
whose sympathies weIe drawn out
to the grief stricken wife and daughter. As
Mannion and Shahan were conducted back
to Jail. Sorrow stricken wives and daughters
chung to them and their last farewell. and
Fagan's wife, who assumed that relation
since his arrest, was with him during the
day, but did not face the ordeal Of hearing
the last sentence, but joined him
soon after and accompanied him to
the Jail doors, where an atfectionate
parting took place. Shohan served one
term in the penitentiary for counterfeit
ing, having been the first person sentenced
by Judge Jackson after ascending the bench
OF the United States Court.
In the Circuit Court to-day John Athey
was found guilty of cutting with intent to
kill.
The two courts will send over twenty
representatives to the penitentiary the
present term.
