CISCINNATI, February 1.-The city
is in CONSERVATION on account of the
great rise in the river and what is
expected to come. The water reach

is still rising two inches per hour
Desperate efforts are being made TO
save the merchandise in the lower

indicate that a heavy rise is still
coming.

CINCINNATI, February 1l-Good
business men here who are not sensa-

by the present overflow in the Ohio
river in Cincinnati, Newport and
Covington, will amount to millions.
The stage of water at Z O'Clock to-
night was sixty-one feet and eight

inhabitants and delivering them

SECOND AND THIRD STORY WINDOWS.
All the houses and factories on the
entire river front at Coyineton are

University EndOyv ment Fund,
County Commissioner

A reference to the report of the
Treasurer Of the University Of this
State, found in the biennial report of
the Board of Regents, page II, will
show that q five thousand dollar T..
). bond, belonging to the endowment
fund of that institution. was called
in and redeemed at par by the Seere-
tary of the L. S. Treasurer in Nov.
1881. The proceeds, $1,000 was
again invested by the Treasurer in
conformity with law in four per cent.
L. ). bond of the denomination of
$4,000, leaving a balance of 1923 only
as shown at page % of same report.
Here then is clear loss of nearlv $500
on this transaction. The University
owns Tl03, 600 in currency six per
cent. bonds, which are liable to be
called in by the {. S. Treasurer. If
the loss in renvesting this fund
should be in proportion to that on the
bond above referred to, there would re-
main it only $S7, 4S0-a loss of over
ZIG, 600 on the principal tits appar-
ent, therefore, that if this operation of
reinvesting the University endowment
be repeated few times it will disap-
pear and be lost.
AS member Of the Board of Re.
gents the editor Of this paper called
the attention Of the Board to this
matter at the June, 1882, meeting and
offered and had passed by the Board
the following resolution all but
three members concurring:
"ResolUed That it is the sense of fiji,
Board that the law reqiruing the invest.
meDt OF the trust or endowment funds
of the University in a loan of public
/ stock OF the United States ought to be-
! SO far modified as to permit its invest
ment otherwise than as therein specified
/ for the reason that the premium usually
demanded in the purchase Of United
States bonds Is so great as to great,
/ impair the principal of said funds, ano
that continuance of said policy of in
vestment will ultimately result in thu
loss of the whole principal thereof"
We recall the fact that the Presi
dent Of the Board was opposed to th,
passage Of this resolution and thi,
may account for the fact that it doe!
not appear in the report of the BoarC
Of Regents, for the past year w,
therefore call the attention of th,
Legislature to the subject in thi,
manner, so that such action may b,
taken as to save the endowmen
fund from further depletion and ulti
mate extinction. If our timely warn
ing shall have the effect to accomplish
this we shall be content. Huating

A Merited Compliment.

A resolution has been introduced
in the West Virginia Legislature
complimentary to the public career
of the Hon. Henry G. Davis, the re
firing United States Senator from
that State, and that it will pass both
houses without serious opposition
there can be no question. Entering
the Senate 2 years ago, with but
limited legislative experience, Mr..
Davis soon developed habits of indus
try and close attention to his duties.
which attracted favorable attention,
and he retires with the reputation of
being Senator Of large and varied
information, infexible honesty, and
enlarged views. Whilst losing his
services in the National councils
West Virginia will gain the active
services of Mr. Davis in the develop
ment of her great mineral resources
and railroad enterprises, to which he
has already announced his purpose
to devote his best energies.-Bati

RAILROAD ECHOES.
Don't Let The Golden Opportunity Pass
LIZ


On the 18th our neighboring coun-
ty of Monongalia will vote on the
proposition Of subscribing 100000
to the capital stock of two railroads
to pass throng the county. There is
every indication that the measure
will he adopted, yet there are some
who oppose it on the ground that it
will increase the taxation. These
persons do not take into considera-
ton the fact that the rad will pay a
large proportion Of the tax, besides
greatly enhancing the value Of real
estate throughout the county to such
an extent that the matter oil taxation
would be very small consideration,
which should not be an obstacle in
the way Of the enterprise. We want
to sec the county enjoying the bene-
fits Of railroad, and hope her voters
will not let the golden opportunity
pass.

What shall The Verdict BE:

On Saturday next the 17th) the
voters of our county will again give
expression to their sentiments upon
the question Of subscribing to a rail
road through the county. The mat
ter has been canvassed pretty thor
oughly; it has been discussed pro
and con by the papers; it has been
explained again and again from the
hustings, and must be understood by
all who care TO think or investigate.
The time for work has drawn to a
close. Our people must now act.
The friends of the movement and all
those who bear any affection for the
homes of their childhood must 90 to
the polls on Saturday and cast their
votes for subscription. They can not
afford to do otherwise.
Many of the largest ax-pavers in
the county are the warmest advocates
of the measure, and the leading men
of the county with very few excep-
tions are out-spoken in its favor. It
is scarcely possible that all of them
should be on the wrong side. We
believe the measure is right and
should be ratified by large majority
on Saturday We await with trem-
bling interest the verdict.

Monongalia will either cover her
self with glory or snow herself under
with disgrace Oh the l7th. The rail
road propositions in that county have
heretofore been Objectionable in some
respects, and they have been voted
dowa, but the present is SO fair, and
so nearly equalizes the benefits that
may be derived from railroad, among
the different sections Of the county,
that we shall expect to hear of the
proposition carrying by a good ma
jority. 1t has been demonstrated to
the people Of that county beyond any
room for doubling, that the road will
pay them in every respect, and they
will he voting against their own in
terests if they vote against the prop
ositioa.

A Double Track for the G.. 4 O.
Railway

The Richmond letter in the Inde1-
Appeal contains the following i'm
portant paragraph: "The Chesapeake
and Ohio Company, mindful of the
great need of double track, have
gone to work to establish it at the
earliest practical moment. The cost
of the line and additional siding will
be little short of $10,000,0O0, and it
will require about two years to com
plete it, Work has been commenced
at three points on the eastern divi-
sion and at four points on the West
Virginia division, and at such places
as the double track can, until the
whole can be finished, be best utilized
for passing and storage of trains and
cars. From Clifton Forge east the
company has one hundred miles oil
side track. About 500 hands are
at work now on the track. Vitdi-

Col. Wilson has the gratitude of
our people for his disinterested efforts
to assist in carrying our railroad sub
scription. He came from Washing

in its behalf His forcible and manly
speech will tell in its favor. His
work is appreciated and will not be
forgotten. The Democrats of the
First district now see the fatal blum
der they made in not re-nominating
him for Congress. though we believe
he declined the honor.

1t appears that certain members OF

who are reckless because they are

which prepared the last River and
Harbor bill, has completed and will
report the new bill. This committee
consists of fifteen Representatives
A majority of the fifteen were not re-

eighth Congress. Among those who
owe their defeat directly to their
share in the River an Harbor steal
of the last session are Horace +. Page
of California, the Chairman of the
committee, and Miles Ross of New
Jersey, Democratic member of the
committee.
We are informed that those River

ing the new bill assert that they do it
on principle. They desire vindiea-
ton.
What they want is not the vindica

increase of......,........ 1896
We estimate the number Of labor
ers employed in our coal fields and
furnaces about 5000, and increasing
rapidly
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was finished through our county
about the year 1858 or 1860, but we
noticed No improvement or increase
in population until after the South
West Pennsylvania r. r. completed
their road in 1876 Since that time
every enterprise has fourished, and
our business men can compete and
send their products to any part of
the United States at low rates Of
freight.
Our coal lands have advanced from
$50 per acre to $500, 800 and $500
per acre within four years, or com
petition of the South West Railroad
through orr county, 1t would have
been a good investment for the tax
payers Of the county to have built
the road themselves. The increase
in real estate and general business
would have soon paid back all money
spent in that way.
The South West r. r. stock is
now paying per cent interest divi-
dends every six months, the stock
commands premium and none on
the market for sale.
The Charleston d Virginia r. r.
Co, are building a road from Browns
vile to our town, to connect with the
South West r. r here. Judge Ew-
ing thinks they will extend the road
from here to yocr place, providing
they are encouraged. So you have
two chances to get competing road.
You can subscribe your money to
the South West K. r., or the Charles
ton d Virginia, and which ever gets
to your place first gets the subscrip
ton. From what our county has
gained by having competing roads,
and from what | can learn from your
county, you are similarly situated.
Your people will stand in their own
light if they fail to get competing
road through. You can 90 along the
Pennsylvania r. r., and at every sta
ton you will see enterprise and bust
ness They encourage it, and by so
doing they make trade for the road,
and that helps the taxpayers and
builds up the country.
Hoping you may be successful in
your efforts, / remain,
Yours Respectfully,
