FALLING INCH BY INCH.
After Tales from the Floods and Plans
for Future Relief.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 1S.-A special
from Helena, Ark, to the Appedt saws:
''The river stands on the gauge forty-five
feet and has fallen three inches during
the day. A more rapid decline is expect
ed on Monday. The levees. with the ex-
ception of few places, require no further
attention. The Legislature in an ad-
journed session is expected to appropriate
funds for the relief OF such families as
nave been rendered destitute by the flood.
An effort will be made to secure an ex-
tension of the time for the payment of
taxes for those whose lands will remain
idle on account Of the flood.
"The river here continues to decline
steadily. The track of the Memphis and
Little Rock Railway is free from water.
and repairs on that line are actively pro-
crossing. In many localities between
Memphis and Helena the river is within
its banks"
Another special from Helena, Ark,
says: The river is declining at the rate
of six inches day. The gauge now reg
listers less than fOrty-fiye feet, a total fall
of over two feet. The bottom lands will
soon be free from water, and planting will
begin within three weeks. Stringent sani-
tary measures will be enforced after the
water subsidies -

KEIFER'S CUPIDTTY.
Further Concerning the Keifer- Tyson
Gaines-DawsOn Matter.

Gaines-DawsOn Matter.
1t appears that General Keifer's sum-
mary removal of Mr.. Tyson, n steno-
grapher, in order to make a good place for
his nephew, caused a disagreement be-
tween the late Speaker and Mr.. Robeson.
1t was mainly to the good offices of Mr..
Robeson, whose influence with the Speaker
was all-powerful, that Mr.. Tyson owed
his appointment. When his resignation
was demanded and he was advised 10
make satisfactory arrangement with
MIR. Dawson for division of that gentle
mans salary between them, Mr.. Tyson
appealed to Mr.. Robeson. who went ia
General Keifer and urged him to retain
Tyson and make a place for his nephew
by removing one of the official reporters
OF the debates. The provident uncle de-
INJURED to this, urging that it would create
too much of a scandal; and for once Mr.
Robson found Gen. Keifer strong enough
to resist him.
1t is understood that he was greatly dis
pleased, and probably he did not help his
cause much when he intimated with some
truth that the removal Of one of the OFF,
cial reporters by the Speaker, in order to
make room for his nephew, would be no
worse than the removal Of Mr.. Tyson to
accomplish the same end.
1t is understood that more than one ef-
fort was required before the ''satisfactory
arrangement between Messrs. Dawson
and Tyson was consummated. 1t is said
that each of them offered to pay Gaines
800 month if he would keep his old
place at 81 800 year and allow them to
keep their places also. As this 'sarrange-
ment' would have netted the nephew
only 1888 33 a month, whereas he will re-
ceive $416 sc q month, of course it would
not have been satisfactory" What Mr..
Gaines needed was the money.
AS General Keifer himself said to q
Tribune correspondent: "Ee is poor and
has poor old mother, and he was getting
only $1,000. The fact is that, although
Gaines is my nephew, he is thoroughly
competent, and it has been understood all
the while that he was to have one Of the
places. He was getting only $1,000
year, and those are So, 900 places.''

A PANIC IN A THEATRE,

Nobody Seriously Hurt, but the Escape
Narrow One,
NEW YORK, March. 17.-Near the end
of the performance at the Cosmopolitan
Theatre last night one of the iron columns
supporting the first balcony broke through
the floor on which it rested and allowed
part of the balcony to sink about twelve
inches. The people in the balcony, terri
fed by the settling seats and those in
other parts of the house alarmed by
the cracking timbers, joined in the rush
for the door. The means of egress from this
theatre are exceptionally good, and yet
for moment there was a terrible crush,
in which women tainted and some had
parts of their clothing torn off. The man
ayers succeeded in reassuring the audi
ence, and most of those who had left the
building returned, but in few moments
some of the occupants of the upper bal
cony began to hoot and hiss, and the
frightened audience fell in another panic.
Serious trouble was, however, prevented
and the audience dispersed.

similar meeting at RoubaiX, the dispersal
OF which was attended with slight resist
ance and the arrest of eight persons.
There has been no disylay of troops in
Paris.
At O'Clock tonight the city was quiet.
Several drunken anarchists have been
arrested.
At meeting of five hundred Socialists
at Brasserie DIES Paquis an uproar took

commune, advised workmen to abstain
from disorderly manifestations.
At midnight the city was tranquil.

interesting story of how one dog saved the
life of another. A little dog fell of the
dock the other day into an open place In
the ice and bade fair to drown, but large
dog, which saw the occurrence, leaped in
after him. The large animal took hold of
the small one and kept him up, but, after
padding about in the water for some
time, found no place where they could get
out. Some persons who were looking on
then came to the rescue. They let Mr.,
Donoghue's boat bridge down to the sur
face Of the water, and the large dog swan
there and both were assisted out.
