DOWN TO DEATH.

Fifteen People Drowned at Marietta.
MARIETTA, O., February 6.-The city has
besn plunged into the depths Of mourning
to-day by terrible disaster, the result of
the high water. A large crowd of peopls
were standing on the bank Of the Mlskin-
gum watching the drift on its surface, when
the bank on which they were standing gave
wsy and the larger part of the crowd were
thrown into the river. Those who did
not fall in were overcome with panic
and many children were carried away
by the swift waters before an effort could
be made to save them. The widest ex-
citement prevails. No estimate can ye.
be made of the extent Of the calamity, as
nobody knows who composed the crowd.
1t is thought that at least fifteen persons
were drowned. The town is almost com.
pletely overfowed, and hundreds OF fam
lilies have abandoned their homes, moving
away in some cases with only what they
could carry,

MURDER CONFESSED.
Two Men Killed n Revenge for DoE's
Death.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, February 6.-List March
q double murder was committed in little
settlement near Albion, III. Two colored
mon, named Depugh and Ross, who lived
together in a little cabin on Rocky Fork,
were murdered. Their corpses were dis
covered next dag in the ruins OF their
cabin, which had been fired TO conceal their
crime. The authorities were baili.d in
the effor. to secure the guilty parties, al.
though several arrests have been made.
The absence of motive for the great crime
deepe ned the mystery. The murdered
men we're very popular among their race,
and as far as anybody knew, had no enc.
mics.
Last night William +. Henry, q
o young negro, was arrested for the crime.
A couple OF revolveys and gun that was
known TO have been the properly OF ooe OF
the murdered men was found in Henrys
possession. To-day he made full con
fession. He says nearly six years ago he
pugh killed q dog belonging to him Hen.

Depugh, and during the night g.t ~ and

killed Ross for fear he would expose the
crime. After killing them be took what

that, having no proof, he rsmainsd quiet.

sNTY-slx FEET AND EIGHT INCHES
At Cincinnati and the River stili
Rising.

Rising.
CINCINNATI, February 6.-9 P. N.-Sixty
feet eight and q half inches is the re-
cord at this hour, aud rising two inches an
hour. The rain has al most stopped. This
is u rise of six.feet six and half inches in
the past twenty.four hours. The water
has stopped street car travel between Gin
cinnati and CoviBgton and Newport,
and skiffs will be carrying passengers
to the suspension bridge before morn
ing. The lower part OF the city
is already submerged, and hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of houses are invaded on
first floors by water. 1t has been remarked
that business men show much less anxiety
now than last year, although the promise
to- day is that the flood will be greater than
last year. They have submitted to the in
eyitable with good grace, and will sui
fer comparatively small loss aside
from the cost of removing goods and the
suspension of business. There is even
strong talk of raising the low grounds OF
the city above food height as one means
Il ayerting future trouble OF this kind.
Relief work has been started promptly and
with determination that Cincinnati shall
take care of her own poor. A committee
appointed by the Chamber OF Commerce
held a meeting this afternoon and put
machinery in immediate motion to
trke care Of all cases of dis
tress. Experienced, and efficient men
j H.. Keck and C. ". Rowlaud-were
sent out at once to organize for a supply,
and they will allow no worthy person TO
60 hungry. This work is nearly two days
in advance Of last years record in this d.
rection. The purpose is to prevent the ne.
cessity for relief as far as possible.
The gas works closed when the water
reached sixty teet. The gas in the mains
and metres is sufficient for tonight, out
tomorrow night a resource will have to be
made TO lamps, candles and electric lights.
One great source of trouble will be the
water famine The engines Of the water
works are working now with difficulty, and
will be entirely disabled with five
or six feet OF water more. They will
doubtless be in order tomorrow, stopping
all man ufactories that use steam from
running in order to save the water supply
as much as possible. Il is difficult to get
men to make predictions, bat the general
Opinion is that the river must exceed the
highest stage Of last year, sixty'six feet
four inches. Tie railroad situation is un-
changed.
