Help for the Distressed.

The government of Ohio, in proclama-
ton issued on the 18th, thus appeals to the
people Of that state to aid the flood sufferers:
The distress existing along our southern
borders cannot be exaggerated. Many
thousands of our fellow citizens are without
shelter. The press has brought yividly to
the attention of us all the details of the sor-
row and suffering which the present flood
Las entailed upon our people. The duty OF
the citizens of Ohio is to furnish relief, and
that Immediately. urge upon
every community in the state to organ
ize atI once for the purpose OF providing
for the relief Of their unfortunate fellow
citizens who live on the banks of the Ohio.
Everything is needed, and at every point
along the state boundary, except Cincinnati,
which is taking care of her sufferers. Money,
clothing. shelter and food must be provid-
ed and speedily, or loss of life will be the
result. No time should be lost. What may
be given should be forwarded Immediately.
I appeal, therefore, to all good people to
take steps without delay to assist the
various relief committees in their effort to
stay the tide Of distress which is overwhelm-
ing the borders of this state.

There is great sensation at Cleve-
land, Ohio, among Catholics. St. Procops
church, Burton street, was ex-communica-
ted on the 10th by Bishop Gilmour. Under
the laws Of the diocese the parish elects four
councilmen to administer the temporal at
fairs of the church. The priest selects six
teen members of the congregation, from
whom the councilmen must be chosen. The
congregation numbers 400 families, or 1900
souls. Attached to the church are several
aid societies. There has been trouble be-
tween the leaders Of the societies and church
officials, eliminating in the congregation re-
fusing to select councilmen from the sixteen
names presented by the priest. Bishop
Gilmour then appointed four councilmen
and the congregation refused to recognize
them, and the bishop summarily ex-com-
municated the entire church. Catholic cir
cles are greatly aroused

WIDE WATERY WASTES.
The Relief Boats Active In Relieving the
Distresssd-FearfuI Destruction of
Property-A Picture of
Despair.

PoMERoY, Ohio, February 16.-The
relief boat Kate Stockdale arrived here at
O'Clock this afternoon. The people of
Belleville, w. Va, called the boat in and
quantity of provisions were given them.
But six houses remain in town and they are
nearly all badly wrecked. At Racine the
head of the Pomeroy bend, twelve miles
long, was entered. This bend contains
some twenty coal mines, eighteen salt
works and eleven towns of 81 900 inhabit-
ants, of whom 5000 are laborers. Six of
the mines are flooded and will not be
pumped out for six or eight months. Eight
thousand people are idle and 5000 home
less, demanding immediate assistance.
The river in the bend reached GA feet.
1t has fallen twelve feet, and is going down
at the rate of two inches an hour. Business
Of every kind remains suspended. The Col
umbus, Hooking Valley and Toledo rail-
road, and the Ohio Central, penetrating the
bend, are all torn to pieces, and it will be
from three to six weeks before conmunica-
ton by rail is resumed. The steamboats,
Jim Montgomery, Champion, Nora Belle
and Chesapeake are distributing supplies.
The people are stored away in churches,
barns and school houses through the coun-
try. 1t is estimated 500 houses have been
swept out of the twelve miles of the bend.
The Stockdale will distribute three tons
of provisions here and then proceed to other
suffering towns in the bend. The outlook
is very dark as the distressed people in the
bend are poor and have lost everything.
The Standard nail and iron works, at Cliff
ton, w. Va, have been thoroughly soaked
and will not resume for four weeks. Loss.
SAC, 900. To paint the scene Of destruction,
ruined towns, demolished buildings, over
turned and wrecked houses and bridges,
mud and debris, needs simply this one
word s'awful.'' Let the Imagination pic
ture its worst and it will not paint the hand
of the flood upon this once bright land of

The Flood Moving South.

CAIRO, February 1.-The steamer
Fowler reports the water on the first floor
of buildings on Front street, Paducah, and
all landings on the Kentucky sides are I'M
der water, but no suffering is reported, as
the people have gone to the hills. Jopps, a
small town on the Illinois side, is inundated,
the water covering the tops Of the houses,
and the town is completely deserted. At
Metropolis the water is over the first floors
in the buildings on Front street. All bust
ness has moved to the back streets. At
Cairo the water is 4S feet and rising slowly.
1t is now four feet lower than the highest
water of last YEAR

Yesterday morning, Chambers, Doyle, De-
Wolf and Hadley, the four boys who attemp-
ted to rob Mr.. Doherty, watchman OF the plas-
ter mills, the other night, were brought before
Judge Gould. Chambers and Doyle have both
been inmates of the Reform School.
Doherty testified the boys had played sever
al pranks with him and on the night in ques-
tion, Saturday, somebody tapped on his win
dow. He raised it and Chambers and Doyle
climbed in with hsndkerchiefs over their faces
and pistols in their hands. They demanded his
money or his life, threatening him with the
weapons, and searching him for his money,
but failed to find it. They then left for the
Maine Central station and all but Hadley took
the train, Chambers got off the cars at Hal
lowell and Doyle and DeWolf at Augusta.
Chambers met an old Reform School chum
and told him all about the effair and the chum
posted Marshal True, who arrested Chambers
and that worth peached. The boys were bound
over in the sum of $1,000 each.

Last evening the Gospel Mission was crowd
ed,and as it was the night for the usual temper
ance service there was regular jubilee meet
ing over the preseut aspect of the temperance
question. The meeting was opened by prayer
and reading the Scriptures, and was followed
By number of stirring testimonies by some of
those who had been reformed through the in
hueDce Of the Mission, after which Judge
Benjamin Kingsbury spoke some very en-.
couraging words and showed the vast differ
ence between the rum question forty years ago
and now. He also spoke on the recent order
of our City Marshal to the police force, and
advised all present not to think that every
thing was accomplished now, but to watch as
well as pray, and vote as well as watch. He
said that he had been made one OF a deputation
from the Law and Order League who waited
on Mayor King LAST week upon this matter,
and His Honor had replied that the police
needed no order as they had taken an oath to
execute all laws. The deputation then waited
on the City Marshal and the result was known
to all.
Mr.. John M. Todd then made some very
telling remarks and explained that he not on
ly talked temperance but always voted tenn
perance. He was followed by Gen. Neal
Dow who spoke in very happy manner on
this question to which he has given lifetime,
and referred to the coming struggle next Sep
tember when the people of Maine would vote
on the constitutional amendment.

Daniel Webster Proctor, former member
of the Cumberland Bar, had an Office in Port
land at 199 IL Middle street. He got into
trouble here and was disbarred. He went west
and there had more difficulty. Then he re-
turned to Bridgton in this State where he pur.
sued his original trade of carpenter. Two
years ago he went to Lawrence, Mass, and
opened law Office. 1t now appears that the
Bar in that city have had him investigated
and he has been expelled from the practice Of
his profession.
An Associated Press despatch states that
she had been for the past two years, doing a
large collection business. His writs were re-
jected on the ground that he had not good
moral character. Proctor, it is alleged claims
to be a member of the Bar of Missouri. A
short time ago he was convicted in the Police
Court of stealing pigs, and the case is now
pending in the Superior Court"

The interest on bicycling is on the increase
in this city, as is shown by the fact that the
old Bicycle Club has been reorganized as
the portland Wheel Club, with member
ship of eighteen. Alta regular meeting on
Monday evening, three nsw men were admit
ted to membership. The club has adopted
handsome grey uniforms, which will soon be
ready. AT the meeting on Monday, a rule
was passed. which is of much interest to the
public, and which conforms to the city ordi-
rance. It's; "that no sidewalk riding be al
lowed within the city limits,'' aud this rule
will be strictly enforced. 1t is hoped that
some of our hack drivers and teamsters will be
a little more particular to recognize the rights
of wheelmen in the public streets and roads.

Consul for Maine in the American League.

All through the storm of last week an unaccount-
ably heavy sea. increasing in volume as the storm
progressed, shook things up in a lively manner
along the coast. The comUotion in old Neptune's
domain created great havoc among the several
hundred lobster traps planted in the shallow wa
ters around the Cape The unfortunate lobster
fishers ventured out Saturday and Sunday in search
of their demoralized property
Fast Day was somewhat noisily though joyously
observed on the shores of the Cape. Each salient
point from Trundy's Reef on the one side to Rich
mond Island Breakwater on the other, was manned
by disciples of Nimrod in pursuit of sea fowl The
DAY was favorable to their fight, dim curtain of
the feathered migrants, and causing many to ap-
preach within easy gunshot. Many coots were
slain; also several wild geese.
Mayfowers are in blossom here but they seem to
wear discouraged look owing to the prolonged

NeMIetrer Raxes

Postmaster Barker is wide-awake to the in
terests of our citizens in regard to mail facili-
tiles. He has just placsd new letter boxes as
follows: One at the corner of Beckett and Fore
streets; one at the Portland aud Rochestef
depot; one at the corner of Deering and State
streets; and one at the corner of Carleton and
West streets. 1t is simply in possible for the
carriers to make collections at these boxes at
every trip, as each has to walk now some
twenty-five miles daily, consequently collec-
tions will only be made from the new boxes on
the carriers delivery trips. Mr. Barker says
that in order to make our carrier system eff
fective there should be at least three more car
riers, and he is hoping to secure that number.
