RICHMOND. IND, February S.--Reports
are coming In announcing considerable
damage from the almost incessant rain
since yesterday evening. Innumerable
washes have resulted, while the creeks and
rivers have overfowed the lowlands, under
mining fences and playing havoc general
ly. Numerous insecure road bridges are
gone, and the more substantial river bridges
near the city are threatened, as are also
Mering's mill dam, which has partly bro
ken. Trains are coming In late In conse.
quepce drumming cautiously, and railroad
men say that 1t Is probable that they will
be stopped by morning, but only the train
coming from Fort Wayne will have to
transfer on account OF unsafe bridges. In
some parts Of the city the cutters have
overaowed completely filling the adjacent
cellars, while the streets look like running
streams
WArAKoSErA, O., February 3.-A tre-
mendous flood is prevailing in this section.
The Auglaize River and its tributary
streams are far out OF their channels and
completely inundating the surrounding

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, February 3.-Rain has
been falling here necessarily since Friday
noon, and there are now indications OF q
most disastrous flood. All the streams in
this vicinity haYe burst beyond their
banks, and are sweeping the adjacent ter.
ritory. Much property has been destroyed,
and great apprehensions exist, as the
streams are rising rapidly, and are now
but a few inches lower than the maximum
point reached by food Of June, 1882, when
the entire central portion OF the city was
submerged, with most disastrous results to
life and property. Pogue's Run, the little
stream which runs diagonally through the
city for distance OF three miles, is out OF
It's banks, and has submerged contiguous
territory 10 the extent OF six squares. Gel
lars are overlooking, dwellings are deluged
and much property is carried away. Nu-
merous houses have been vacated and the
railroad shops and yards are rendered use
less. A few bridges have been removed
from their moorings, and It Is expected
that they will be destroyed before the flood
abates.
So far but one life has been lost. Hos.
man Schnable, railroad employe, while
in the discharge Of his duties at q switch,
stepped off the bank and fell into the run.
His body was carried away before aid
could be procured and has not been recover
ed. The ice blockaded the mouths Of the
tunnels and bridges, and the Fire Depart
ment has been engaged all day in attempt.
ing to keep. them clear. Several narrow
escapes occurred to men engaged in this
work, one or two being seriously injured
by falling into the streams. The whole
sale merchants who experienced great loss
in June by flooded cellars are busy tonight
moving stock to the upper stories
OF their buildings Trains are several
hours late on all the roads, and on some are
abandoned. The St Louis wires are down
and no report could be procured from that
line. The western division OF the Bloom.
ington & Western Railroad Is flooded so
that no reports can be obtained, and trains
are supposed TO be abandoned. Eagle
Creek and White River, west Of the city,
are out OF banks and the railroad company
expect considerable damage. A dangerous
feature OF the freshet is the vast fields OF
ice which are cutting away all abstruc.
tions, such as trees, fences, bridges and
roads. The condition Of the streets and
highways renders it impossible to procure
an estimate Of the losses.

WHEELING WEST "A. FEBRUARY 5
THE NAIL TRADE.
The Productive Capacity Largely In.
creased During the Past Year.

PIrrsBURoH, February 4.-The nail trade
at present Is in very quiet condition.
The demand is light and prices are un-
changed. The four weeks suspension, ac-
cording to the agreement Of the Western
Nail Association, will cease on the 10th
inst, when there will be a general resump.
ton. It Is not expected that the spring
trade will open up before the middle Of
next month. The outlook, however, is
very encouraging for heavy demand. The
Iron Age has the following in regard to the
trade: 1t is avery remarkable fact that the
production oi cut nails and spikes in the
United States has not increased in the past
decade in the same degree that the produc.
ton Of other kinds ofiron has grown. From
1874. when the maximum Of nail produc.
ton was reached, before the great depres.
sion in the iron trade set in, to 1881 the
output OF nails increased only IS per cent.
Before the depression the maximum pro-
duction OF rails was in 1872, and from that
year to 1881 the production OF rails increas.
ed "a per cent. The forms OF rolled iron
which are usually grouped under the term
"bar iron" reached their maximum before
the depression in 1873, and their growth
to 1881 was Ill per cent. Plate and sheet
iron made precisely the same rate OF pro-
gress from 1874 10 1881, namely, Ill per
cent. Pig iron increased Gl per cent from
1878 to 1881.
This is very remarkable, as It would nat
urally be supposed that the consumption
nS In tff tt. nj laao
the same ratio as the consumption Of other
kinds OF finished iron. Not only do the
above figures show that this 10 not so, but
we have the additional fict that from 1880
to 1882 the number OF nail factories and
nail machines actually decreased. In 1880
there were 7S nail factories; in July, 1882,
there were only GO. The factories in ex.
istence in 1880 had 4,152 machines, but by
July, 1882, this number had decreased to
1880 machines. This occurred during 4
time Of general prosperity.
Since July, 1882, however, very great
change has occurred. New factories have
been completed and put in operation, and
the construction Of others has been begun,
additions have been made to old factories,
and even at the present writing there are
more factories projected.
The production Of nails in 1880 was
5,S70,512 kegs, and in 1881 II was 5, ,79l, ,206
kegs. In 1882, however, the production
was probably under that Of 1881, the great
Western strike having seriously curtailed
the output last year. II the operations Of
Western nail factories had gone on con-
tinuously throughout the year 1882, it is
very likely that the production OF the
United States would have been altogether
6,000,000 kegs.

CLEVELAND, February 4.-The fire at the

The scene Of the conGagration resembles

matters says It will take two years to re-

THE STEEL SMASH.
Tho Failure OF the Chicago Iron and
Steel Company.


CmcAGo, February ga decided .uncer'
tainty still exists as to the motive OF The
Union Iron and Steel Company in closing
its works and fayoring the appointment Of
receiver. The officers cannot, or will not,
make any statement whatever as to what
has passed among them, what course has
been decided upon, what the assets and
bills receivable are, or whether they have
any idea they can pull through, or could II
etalone.. This utter refusal to speak met
with some comment among leading finan.
ciers, who had read all that the jour.
nails had gathered the day before. II
was generally regarded as very singular.
More than one expressed the opinion
that in ordinary cases there would natural.
" arise from this an inference adverse. to
the company. One OF its chief employees
asserts that the assets are $5,000,000 in
value; that II owes less than $50, 900 for
material; that II let alone it could be in
full swing again in four days; that its lia-
bilities are very much less than It's assets
would bring under the hammer, and yet
after possibly such favorable showing the
officials remain silent both to creditors
and interviewers. The general opinion
expressed Is that II these statements are
true Mr.. Amasa Stone, who Is a creditor 10
the extent Of over 81 900, 900, is attempting
to force q settlement. II was given as
probable that his resolution arose upon the
following state OF things, which is believed
by two orthfee parties who are not, II Is
thought, entirely unfamiliar with the in.
side workings Of the company's affairs.
They give It as probable that Amasa Stone
and selah Chamberlain, OF Cleveland, each
reported to be worth S., 100000, have been
putting money into the works with un.
stinted hand until the mortgage was given.
Considering the suddenness OF the clos.
ing down OF such vast works, the situation
at the mills was remarkably quiet yester-
day. Bridgeport was as calm in every re.
spect the entire day as though 1t were q
day Of fasting instead Of enforced idleness.
Early In the morning groups OF interested
men congregated upon the adjacent corners
and in neighboring saloons and grocery
stores, and talked over the situation. The
majority were surprised by the sudden
misfortune that had overtaken them, but
none were disposed to view the matter in
any but the iairest light.

THE WHEAT CROP.
Adverse Results Of Heavy Rains and Ex.
trcmeIy Gold Weather.

"ChuctL OUiu WehtueFs
MILWAUKEE, February 3-Private dis.
patches received tonight from all the lead
ing news centres in the grain. growing and
grain.trading sections Of the country pre-.
sent highly important facts in relation to
grain movements. The severely cold
weather and heavysnow.storm have caused
considerable interruption to the weeks
business, and to.night's storm makes it GER
tain that the roads will be still further
blockaded by snow. The consequence is
that the receipts OF grain at all trading
points are irregular and generally light
Wheat arrives very slowly in the market
and the best Judges at various points ex-
press the opinion that even with good roads
receipts will not be large.
Last week these dispatches reflected the
views Of the leading and best posted OBJ.
servers to the effect that the Spring wheat
supply has proved decidedly smaller than
the estimates made at harvest time. Com
parison views with leading dealers in the
Middle States show the general opinion
there to be that the same Is true in regard
to Winter wheat. 1t now looks as II the
final exhibit will show that the entire
wheat crop will be materially less than the
most careful and Trustworthy estimates
made in the Fall. The stock OF wheat at
Chicago is very slowly increasing, and now
amounts to five and half million bushels
At the Northwestern points the stock prac-
tically remains unchanged. The local de-
mand, in most cases is absorbing receipts.
A widespread policy has been gaining
ground OF late that the wheat crop was
overestimated, and some serious apprehen-
sions are reported in regard to the condi.
condition Of growing wheat. The Middle
States and Ohio and Indiana report that
damage is feared from the resnlts'of heavy
rains during the month just closed, and It
1t is thought that the condition Of the crop
all over the country, resulting from ex-
treme cold weather Is unfavorable.
