New YoxE, February 1.-THE Times, in
.,y: Wheeling hiss thus far borne the
brunt of the floods in the Upper Ohio.
smaller towns in the vicinity have suf-
fered in due proportion, but Wheeling,
which ha, a population OF over 10000,
presents a sad spectacle OF city half sub
merged, and a community OF which a very
large fraction is homeless, and many OF
whose inhabitants are left destitute. Not
IN all instances, OF course, will the flooded
districts be left ut erly ruined. Many habi.
tations, although drenched with water
and liquid mud can be cleansed and rebuilt.
But many others have heen lifted from
heir foundations aud carried away, and
others have been d molished by the masses
OF debris hurled against them by the swol.
len currents The glimpses which we get
OF the scenes of desolati n and terror are
occasionally striking and graf h.c. DARK
ness makes the dangers Of the night more
formidable. The flood slowly and mys-
teriously rises higher and higher. The
fsmiliar land marks di.arpear. A vague
horror covers the inundated district, and
cries for help and groans of suffering peo-
pie minele with the noise OF the surging
waters, the renGing of buildings and the
cesseless falling Of the rain. Far out on
the edge Of the city, temporarily safe on q
bit OF high ground and sheltered by
bank, thousands OF poor creatures, escaped
with their lives only, are hudiled together
until the dawn.

less to name the communities devastated
by the floods, or now threatened with i'm
m!pen danger. The country Of the whole
system OF streams deooJching into tue
Ohio, and embracing portions OF OHIO. ln-
disns, Illinois, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, is thickly populated, and is nos
suffering from foods not lately plrslleled
for extent Of damage done TO life and prop
eriy. Here ard there the reader will strike
suggestive facts which may indicate the
,xtent and irrepsrsbeness Of the disaster.
In Whes ling, FOR example, steamers are
navigating the streets, with Is feet OF water
under their keels- At Cincinnati, the
wafer is only a foot or 80 lower than the
high-wster mark OF lsi7. when the great
tiood took place. Nearly all of the factories
IN Wheeling hsye suspended operations,
and, as the principal industry OF the place
IS manufacturing the distresses Of tue peo-
pie have only just begun. 1t will be
weeks before work can be resumed in the
inundated districts. But il may be added
thst the worst appears to be over. at least
for the present. The foods are at 9 stand
sill at some points, and are rscediHg at
o;hsrs. Unless new dangers appear, the
fstshets will soor pass awsy, aud the

should have been built to stand for CEN
turles. The old wall on the east and
uortl sides of the base had been taken
down and entirely rebuilt, about 125 or
100 'eet In all. AS many of our readers
are aware, the outside wall is of brick
facei with granite. There were no
anchors, except a few small strips of iron
near the top, to hold the double wall to-
gether, and there was lack of mortar
to such an extent that frequently holes
or spaces between the walls were left,
into which man could thrust his hand.
This has all been gone over, the walls
taken down and relaid. The arches
overhead, of which there are eight or
ten, have all been torn out as unsafe
except one. We asked Mr.. Powers
II there were any anchors to

not. In looking up near the top of the

Before his execution he handed the
sheriff a list of persons to whom he
wished his photographs given. He ate
his breakfast with evident relish, and
dressed himself IN a new black suit,
presented to him by the sheriff. He
was kept in conversation by
his spiritual adviser up to the
time he was led to the
scaffold and the moose placed around
his neck. When Jefferson was placed
1nder the gallows one of the clergymen
said Jefferson had forgiven all his
enemies. Shortly after the rope was
cut and Jefferson's body shot up into
the air. The knot slipped around
under his chin, and his neck was
not broken. For a moment he was
motionless, then kicked and struggled
as he slowly strangled. By desperate
effort he got his right hand up to the
rope and tore the black cap from his
face, exposing its contortions and his
staring eyes. After he tore the black
cap away his hand fell down by his side.
The contortions and commissions of the
body continued five minutes. Life was
pronounced extinct eight minutes after
the rope was cut. The body was sent
to the morgue.

SUNK WITH SEVEN LIVES.

The Steambarge Osborn ColIides with the
Steamship Alberta in Lake Superior.
CLEVELAND, O., July pa dispatch
received here states that the iron steam
ship Alberta ran down the propeller
J. NJ. Osborn off Whitefsh Point, Lake
Superior, late Sunday night, the pro-
poller sinking Immediately in 100 feet
of water. 1t is reported that the mate,
fireman, cook and five deck hands went
down with the vessel. The captain,
passengers and remainder of the crew
were rescued by consorts of the Osborn.
A special dispatch from Lake Su-
perior last night gave particulars of col
lision between the steambarges Alberta,
of the Canadian Pacific Line, and the
J. NJ. Osborn, which resulted in the lat
ter being sunk in deep water of White
fish Bay. SO far as can be ascertalned
the crew of the Osborn are all safe, but
there are rumors to the contrary. There
was sharp gale of wind prevailing at
the time of the collision, and the belief
is entertained by some that several men
were drowned, through their haste to
avoid what seemed to them certain
death, by jumping overheard. The
owners of the Osborn have telegraphed
to the captain for full particulars of the
mishap. and are now anxiously awaiting a re
ply. There is faint hope that through the
efforts of the crew Of the Alberta al the sea-
men who sought safety by jumping INTO the
lake were rescued. The Osborn WAS towing
the schooners Exile and Geo. ". Davis. but
these escaped without injury. The Alberta
had a full line of passengers aboard when
the collision occurred, and among them we're
many ladies and children. They were
all awakened by the shock OF the two
vessels coming together. and before they could
be made to understand that they were not IN
any danger they had run ont of their state
rooms and swarmed on the decks. The shrek
ing OF women and loud cries of men made the
boat seem a perfect pandemonlum. Many
women in their fright tainted away, and the
men were too stunned by the sense of their
supposed danger to do ANYTHING for item.
When the crew Of the Canadian steamer bad
completed their inspection of the damage and
had assured themselves that ii consisted of
nothing more than q twisted STEM they de-
voted themselves to restoring the confidence
of the passengers, and 1t was a difficult task,
because the 200 passengers had become panic
stricken. The only wonder it that many OF
them did not leap overheard The members
of the crew of the sunken barge Osborn, who
were saved were taken aboard the Alberta, and
are being well cared for. The Os-
born was owned by Richardson Il Co,
of Cleveland, and was valued at
