MAYOR JACOBS VISIT TO THE FLOODED DIS
-RICTs.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 13.-Mayor
Jacobs, of Louisville. who went down the
river to distribute money to sufferers by
the food, sends the following report of the
trip: He viii come up tomorrow. The
first point Of inquiry was at Uniontown,
where it was found $1,000 had been sent
by J. Shillito, Of Clncinnati,and $500 from
James Gordon Bennett, of New York city
$1,000 being the only foreign help received
by the town. The impression was that
Uniontown was badly affected though
Mr.. J. c. Hamilton informed Mayer
Jacobs that the wants of the needy were
being met. He seemed disinclined to &C
cept aid, but Mayor Jacobs, however, gave
him check for $500, expressing the hope
that it would be judiciously spent.
Raleigh, very small settlement, was
found substantially annihilated. Except
ing two families. the balance of the ham
let had retired to the country. Mr.. Jacobs
offered these two families 800, which they
refused, unless the balance of the inhabi-
,l,- IL,
them two coIored families. Mr.. Jacobs
thereupon awarded them $500 which will
be equally divided among all those suffer
ers at this point The generosity of the
remaining families deserved equally gener-
Gus treatment, Capt. Daman will see that
this money is properly applied here.
A. Shawneetown, while the work of the
flood was apparent. it did not impress US
as being as complete and far-reaching as
had been announced Many houses re-
moved from their foundations will yet be
serviceable, and the town appears through
out as thrifty. Like Kentucky, we found
Illinois had abandoned her river towns to
the charity OF outsiders. Mr.. Jacobs
offered to leave a sum commensurate with
what would appear to be the necessities
of the town, but he was told that the peo-
pie were getting on nicely. He left $500
to the order of Mayor Millspaugh, with in
structions to call on him if further aid
be needed.
It was urjudgment that Caseyville and
Uniontown proportionally had been moro
severely stricken than Shawneetown. The
fact of there being small and below
scale of wealth in that town,makes distress
to them harder to bear and there are few
er to bear them. The mayor accordingly
gave $500 to d. A. Brooks for the benefit
Of Caseyville. Mr.. Brooks said there were
fuIly 400 families IN and about Caseyville
needing daily rations.
At Weston. 800 was left with Mr.. 7. L.
Lamb. At Roseclaire. 5000 was given Mr..
D. w. Peu for the relief of that town.
Smithland Is in 2 wretched state.
many old people being here, who
have little or no means of sustenance, and
it was learned thatmuch distress prevailed
among them. Nj. Jacob handed Mr.. J.
V. Leystere, $3.50 for this town.
New Liberty was the last town relieved
and here Mr.. J. 4. Shearer was given 800
to apply to the needy.
Along the route the mayor and his party
recognized at once that the work of the
food had been terrific, and that
the farmers must be heavy
sufferers. It was matter of regret to the
party to discover the noble example set by
Indiana in helping her children, not fol-
lowed by any other states, who were as
lble and as much IL duty bound to shelter
thousands in need as their Indiana neigh
bors. It would appear that these unfor-
tunate people were looking to strangers
for succor.
NEWSPAPER MAN on TIE FLOOD.
VIcKsBURG, March ia reporter of
the Vicksburg Herald, returned FROM a
trip up the river, reports the water on a
stand at Greenville, with a general decline
above, and scarcely any rise at points be-
low. Planters generally along the river
have made considerable progress in plant
ing, and except wher ever the flow has af-
fected them. are IN good spirits. The wa
ter pouring through the breaks at
Goodrich, were not one fifth
as great as that which passed
through last year. 1t is passing off rap
idly, and that portion of the levee not al
ready given way, will undoubtedly re-
main intact. Nearly all the principal
landings along the river can still stand
several feet. The levee from Young's
point is completed to Omega, and can
stand SIX or seven feet of water, but the
water from various breaks is rapidly en-
>croaching upon the rear.
DIED PROM AN OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE.
LOUISVILLE, March 13.-Captain E. H.
Noise, of the commission firm of Hall &
Noise of this city. took an overdose of
morphine last evening. and despite the eff
forts Of physicians, died at an early hour
this forenoon. It it not believed it was
taken with suicidal intention, as Mr.. Noise
has been in the habit of taking morphine
for severe attacks of headache with which
he was troubled. He came home from
business complaining OF being unwell, laid
down and never arose again. He was
well known in business circles here and in
the South. He came from New Orleans to
this city several years ago. He leaves
wife and three children.
