ToLEpo, Feb. II.
At 9 O'Clock this evening the flood was ris-
ing three inches per hour. The gorge abreast
of the city is still firm. Two central spans
of the. Pennsylvanix Railroad bridge have
been carried away, together with portion
of the new draw and two temporary spans OF
a railroad fridge. The water is now above
the floor of the Lake Shore Railroad bridge,
but the structure stands firm. The mlddie
ground from the Union depot to the Lake
Shore bridge is covered with water to the
depth of six to eight feet, resting upon which
and extending across the river is a vast field
of broken ice. There are seven feet OF
water on the floor of the Island House ana
Union DEPOT Most of the rolling stock has
been removed from the depot and the middle
ground The gas works are n ,oded win
only "a hours supply to depend on. The
flats in the upp,r portion of the city are in-
undated in probably 800 houses which are
occupied by the poorer classes. The water
lands from two to five feet deep. 1t Is esti-
mated that at least 100 OF these are one
story houses from which families have been
obliged to flee.
The river is still falling an inch an hour,
reaching 81 feet inches at . p. NJ. The
temperature is falling. There has been great
activity all day and continuing tonight in
cleaning houses that are left by the reeeding
waters Additions to the relief fund today
are nearly $4,000, the German relief society
having $1,000 on hand which were collected
for the sufferers by floods in Germany. 1t
was decided to send $1,000 to Germany and
distribute the remainder here. The Ohio
river has been rising all day at Pemeroy and
Marietta.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. Is.
An inch of snow fell here today, the first
this winter. The Arkansas river rose ~
inches, making within two feet of last
springs highest mark The Mississippi at
Arkansas City rose a foot during the past "a
hours, showing over 3s feet above low water
mark.

An error In coinage has been discovered
at the New Orleans mint. affecting re-
cent issue Of ten.dollar gold pieces. Thir
ty-6ve thousand dollars were coined. fit
teen thousand Of which have been put in
circulation. and all of these are now
known to be less than the standard
value. The mistake occurred through 8
faulty sample used by the assayer. and
amounts to two and one-halt mills on tn.
dollar. Steps have been taken to with.
draw from circulation the coins already
issu4d.

letter From Col. 4. 1l. StOckIal...

The following letter from Col. T. r.
Stockdale to some gentlemen in this coun-
ty explains itself:
SUMMIT, MISS, Aug. 18th, 1888.
DR. II ktas aud DLhrrs:
GentlemeH:--In reply to your very kind
letter | desire to say that am gratitied to
know that majority of the delegates to
the Lincoln county convention were in IA
vor of my nomination for Senator for this
district. | have no doubt but the majori
tv of the delegates from your county to
the district convention would favor my
nomination, nor do | doubt that | could be
nominated, but have never consented to
become candidate, aud do not desire the
Office. | do not intimate that | would dis
dain the office by any means, on the con-
trary | consider il very honorable posi-
ton, but my views of the duties of that Of
flee would require me to remain at my post
all the time, and not go on leave of alb
sence to attend to private business. My
own bu mess needs my attention very
much, and several of the courts III which
[ practice will hold sessions during the
setting of the next Legislature, and | have
recently been employed i'll several cases
that will demand my presence absolutely.
The next Legislature will be an important
something for their inter, SITS, and could
not conscientiously accept the office unless
could give my whole time to it.
There is another reason that perhaps
should influence me in this matter. 1t is
evident to my mind from communication
with the people that IL large majority in
this district favor the repeal OF the agricul-
tnral lien law. My view is that its repeal
will work detriment to the farming classes,
who are the real sis of all prosperity i'll
this State, and therefore am opp 'sed to
its repeal. The law authorizing mortga-
ges and deeds of trust on crops to he grown
might be repealed, but the lien of the land
lord and tenant should not, and
would be in a position where | would be
compelled to vote against the views of n
majority of the people or my own. and
while would not shirk the responsibility
were in office, do not desire to seek it.
desire here to thank these gentlemen
who were favorable to my promotion,
which l do as heartily as though | had
sought and obtained the office. l ap-
preciate in the highest degree their express
sion of confidence.
am very truly y"ur friend,
+. r. STOCKDALE.

a Case OF Sai.saken identity.

As a well-known aud popular drummer
was standing in Fitzner's store on Front
street one day last week, he was seriously
approached by a long, lean, wiry-haired
tallowfaced young man over whose head
some eighteen August suns had passed, ana
the following colloquy ensued:
Country-"Say, look ahear, now, want
that nickel back"
Drummer-''NickeE what do l owe you
nickle for, young manP
Country-''Now look a hear, you know
very we'll what for! You went an sole me
soda fur cream or tarter, and it wouldn't
make cakes for the preacher wuth con-
tinental."
Drummer-"You are mistaken, | say"
Countrywide, l amt neither. Yore
names Tyler, an if you don't pay me back
that ar nickel, you'll never get chance to
buy another eoon-skiu from me, ole boss,
till yer hair turns wite."
Here the mischievous drummer, who
happened to be Max Moak of the popular
