The Court Record.

Superior CourI-CIv1l sIde-Judge An-
 drews.
 Yesterday were heard the statements of counsel in the case of F. H. Whittemore and another against John A. Hamilton ct al, , concerning matters connected with the Carll Opera House. The proceedings yesterday were in support of remonstrance against the finding of committee of the court. The action was brought by the assignees of F. J. Whittemore against John W. Bacon and Hamilton, as executors of Samuel Hamilton of Hartford, rich uncle of Dr. Whittemore. The case was heard some six months ago by Judge MOTHS as committee, who found that either there was due S1, 300 to Hamilton, or 3,2OO due from from Hamilton and Whittemore, according to the law by which the court shall find that there was 8 conversion by Samuel Hamilton of the mortgage security in the Csrl Opera House, or whether there was a sur- render. In November, 1875, Dr. Frank Samuel Hamilton, his uncle, three notes, amounting to SIS, 750. They were secured by & mortgage upon the Whittemore block. About two years later Dr. Whittemore, for further security, gave Hamilton two more notes for $500 and $500 respectively and Shepaug railroad bonds of the par value of $1 ,40O. These bonds the defendants allege
 
 absolutely to his own use. The complaint further alleges that in 1878 Dr. White more conveyed to his uncle 8 mortgage for $24, 4,0O0 on CarlPs Opera House, and that Hamilton subsequently surrendered the mortgage note to Carll and quit claimed to him the property without Whittemore receiving therefor any consider ation Among the further allegations IS 8 claim that Hamilton agreed to surrender up the old notes in consideration of new note for SIS, 500, but never did so. Dr. F. H. Whittemore and the other parties to whom Dr. E. J. Whittemore assigned his claim asked in their suit for $20, 900 damages and the reconveyance to them of the Carll mort gage of $24, ,000.
 Ex Judge Pardee and W. K. Townsend appeared and offered to present their find ing of facts in the case of Smith vs Me Kiernan & Todd, 8 case for the Supreme court.

THE FLOODS.

Daylight Returned-The Submerged Cities Resuming Their Vented Appear
 ance-The Distribution of Relief to the
 Sufferers.
 CINCINNATI, Feb. 21.-So complete and in- telligent has been the work of the relief committee in providing for the needy flood sufferers that on Saturday next their &C., counts will be settled and books closed up. It is the intention before that time to dump a load of coal at the door of every family living in the submerged districts. which will take ,, GOO loads or 125, 900 bushels of coal representing $15,ooo cash. This supple menting the food, clothes and bedding al- ready distributed will place the poor in con- fortable circumstances. The relief commit tee is also considering the advisability of en- gazing the fire department to pump out the waters from the cellars in the flooded dis trict The surplus money will probably be given to the associated charities after enough has been laid aside for street cleaning. AS yet the quality of gas is very weak, but will be improved. In Dayton, Ky, suburb across the river, series of bubbling springs have appeared in the submerged streets. Their appearance in the clayey streets is an enigma.
 PEK1N, H., Feb. 21-The Mackinaw river floods have done terrible damage in this sec tion Many farms are surrounded by water and the people are living in garrets. Hun- dreds of cattle and horses have been swept away. The. iron bridge which spans the Meckinaw river near the city of that name, recently erected at cost of $15, 900, is gone.
 ter has suspended all river trade here. The purchase of mules, usually large at this time of the ear, is entirely suspended. Steamer passengers report seeing cotton pickers stand ing in water seven inches deep at the planta- tions along the river below.
 LAwRENCEBURG, Ind, Feb. 21.-Only five streets have escaped inundation. All busi- ness, including that of the banks, is sus- pended. Four hundred houses have been lifted from their foundations and large car riage factory has been swept mile from it's original location. Five manufacturers lose $8O, ,OO0.
 NEw ALBANY. Ind, Feb. 2I.-The damage by the flood during the past four days is es- timated at $1, ,250, GOO. The Bsntwood works. the largest in Indiana, are total wreck. Depauw's glass works lose S2o0, GOO. Many heads of families will be without work all summer. and 2, 100 families have been driven from their homes
 VINoENNEs. Ind, Feb. 21.-The water is fast rising. Several mills and the city gas
 works are inundated Three breaks oc- cured last night in the leyees in the Wabash river, and the escaping waters carried de-
 struction in their wake.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 21.-The river here has fallen three feet since yesterday and is now falling at the rate of an inch and half per hour. All danger is over. Reports from the lower Ohio report the river stationary | and only few cases of individual loss out side what has been reported. r7AR eaH A -1-~nn- -s--kSr r,rnrr H~anw opened here for the benefit of the sufferers by the floods in America.

The Crosby Invalid
 BedStead
The

Is pronounced by all who have used it one of the best inventions ever presented to the public. It consists of two parts-a frame, not unlike common bedstead, having soft, flexible bands extending from side to side on which the patient rests with ease and con- fort These bands are adjustable and are readily removed. The other part is sort of movable car or trundle bed frame on which the bed is made and is so arranged as to be. raised or lowered by crank, being eleva- ted to the bands and supporting the patient, or depressed and removed as the occasion may require. Simple in construction, never getting out of order with fair usage, giving comfort to patients prostrated by exhaustion resulting from disease or broken limbs, ad- mitting of changing from one bed to another without discomfort permits change of bed clothes, taking out and cooling or airing the mattress, and any service on the part of the nurse without pain or even discomfort to the patient These facts make it beneficial in cases of extreme weakness; and in every kind of disease which requires the patient to maintain quiet state this bed will be found invaluable. In cases of acute rheumatism or rheumatic fever nothing else will serve as substitute It also tends to prevent and cure fever sores.
 This Bedstead was used in our Army Hos pitfalls during the latter part of the war and thoroughly tested by many Surgeons, and commended by an Examining Board of which James B. Cuyler, Medical Inspector U. s. A., was president.
 From the many Invalid Bedsteads sent to the White House for the late President Gar fields use this was the only one made use of during the last weeks of his life.

Railing Ports.

note from the Treasury department is to the effect that vessels must be named as of that port nearest which. the owners reside, but, for the purpose of registry, ports" are by law of two classes only-ports of entry and ports of delivery. A vessel may have as hailing port either port of entry or deliv- cry, but no other place; but, as her papers are ordinarily issued at port of entry, and as the owner may reside at a port of delive- ry, her hailing port may be different from that at which her marine documents were is- sued. There is, however, no other hailing port admissible under the statutes than 8 port of entry or delivery. Towns not crea- ted by statute ports of one of these classes cannot be hailing ports, and this department cannot waive the enforcement of the penal ties described in sections 4, IFS and l, ,334, re- vised statutes, if the name of town not 8 'sport" shall be placed on vessel as home or hailing port.
