OHIO FLOODS.
THO River Bank Full and Still Rising,
With Heavy Rains.

Cincinnati, February 4.-There is
much anxiety tonight CONCERNING the
condition of the Ohio river. The flood
of last February, with all its terrors,
tends to make the people more appre-
"a full river. That is the condi-
ton to-day. The Ohio river is
full from Pittsburg to Cairo;
natl downward, and falling slowly
above Cincinnati, but rising ut the
head waters, with the earth saturated
mountains. This rain cannot fail to
cause another rise here. The river
stood at 40 feet III inches till noon,
then fell half an inch, and then began
to rise. 1t had risen 8 inches from to
8 o'clock. A heavy rain fell nearly
all the afternoon, growing heavier at
night. Already the Cellars along the
river are flooded, and some manufac-
turing establishments are compelled 10
stop. A break occurred in Mclean ay-
enue ten feet in length, causc d by the
pressure of back water against the en-
bankment of the streets. This is the
same place where the break
happened last year, engulfing a
number of persons, and injuring
the railroad depot. No lives We're lost
this time, and no property Injured,
with only slight inconvenience to the
Southern road. Reports show the
rain beginning in the west and NOV
ing eastward. There Is a prospect or
heavy rain all night and all along the
river from here to Plttsburg. I'm less
followed by cold weather there must
inevitably be u flood of dangerous pro-
horizons

What the Zero Mark Means.

ISL Louis bc-Dem0crat.I
Ninety-nine citizens out of one hum
dred had something to say about
Zero" yesterday. Perhaps not one In
a hundred could have told on-hand
why point 500 below the freezing
point on Fahrenheit's thermometer is
called zero. For that matter, nobody
knows. The Fahrenheit scale was IN.
PRODUCED In 1920. Like other thermo.
metric scales, it has two fixed points,
the freezing point, or rather the melt
Ing point Of Ice, and the boiling point
of water. The centlgrade and Reamur
call the freezing point zero, and meas
ure therefrom In both directions. This
is a very natural arrangement. Fahr-
enheit kept the principle on which he
graduated his thermometers n secret,
and no one has ever discovered it. 1t
il supposed, however, that he consld-
cred his zero--32o below freexing-the
point of absolute cold or absence of all
heat, either because, being about the
temperature Of melting salt and snow,
it was the greatest degree OF cold he
could produce nrtificially, or because IL
was the lowest natural temperature Of
which he could find any record. The
grounds on which Fahrenheit put 1902
between the freezing points are like
wise unknown.

A NEGRO'S CRIME.
Killing Two Men aud Burning Their
Bodies-A Trivial Cause for
Raranpe

St. Louis, February 4.-On the 9Th
of last March, the house Of Henry
Depugh, (colored), living at Rocky
Fork, a negro settlement six miles
from Alton, Illinois, burned, and par
TALLY burned the bodies Of Depugh and
another negro named Ross, which
were found In the ruins with every
evidence that they had been
murdered, and the house fired to
conceal the crime. The affair created
great excitement, and large reward
was offered for the apprehension OF the
murderer. Several persons were ar
rested, but nothing definite ascer-
tanned until to-day, when w. +.
Newry, a negro who was arrested o
few days ago on suspicion, confessed
having committed the crime. He
says two or three years ago Depugh
killed "a fayoritc dog OF his. and from
that time he held "a
feeling Of the bltterest enmity
towards him. On the night of March
9th he was at Depugh's house, and

with her uncle, William Preston, with

resided. In the spring OF 1874, when
she was to be graduated, Mr.. Mackey
came on from Charleston and took
Miss Sumter's mother to Oberlin to
witness the commencement exercises
and to bring Miss Mickey home,
When Mr.. Mackey met her there
after the five years separation,
she had grown, IL possible, more beau

and received her diploma with 'honors,
after which Mr.. Mackey, the young
lady and her mother, came TO this
city and stopped Mt the Continental
hotel. That evening Bishop Simpson

PATCHED LEGISLATION.
Joint Conference Report on the Land
Enclosure Bill.
Probability of Its Rejection To-day by
the House.
Special TO the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
Austin, February At was almost
midnight when the joint conference,
consisting of Gooch, Traylor and Kle-
berg from the senate, and Taylor,
Browning and Mckinney from the
house, finished its labors and agreed to
report to to-morrow's session the m cas-
ures which to them seem best for set
Ting the breach which now exists be-
tween the two houses on the land bill.
They have modified sections five and
six of the bill rejected to-day, so that
where u man incloses or surrounds the
property of another, he must leave
proper means of ingress and egress
They have struck out the
section which made it lawful
to fence in mans property on pay
ment of ten cents an acre therefor, and
have made several minor alterations in
different parts of the bill. Gooch,
Traylor, Taylor and Mckinney will
sign majority report In favor of the
measure, while Kleberg and Brown
ing will each submit minority re-
ports, the former on constitutional
grounds, and the latter because he re.
CARDS the bill in the light of a herd
law. All school, asylum and universe
ty lands on which stock Craze are to
be paid for at the rate of
five cents per acre. On the
acceptance of this bill, as
amended, tomorrow, depends the
success or failure of the present legis-
lature. From all can gather, L
hardly think the measure will receive
a majority in the house. OF course it
is great improvement on the bill ms
presented to-day, but still | fear it will
hardly pull through. If it fails, there
is nothing left for the governor to do
but to reconvene the legislature. The
opinion prevails tonight that his eX-
cellency, however much he may be
opposed to this course personally, will
be obliged TO resort to this means in
order to make the session productive
of that useful and necessary legisla-
ton which is demanded by the emer-
gency of the hour. The appearances
at the present writing pointto- another
session.

SLEET AND SNOW.
A Cold Waye Sweeping Over the Coun.
try Southwark.

Chicago, February 4.-Sleet and
rain have been falling all day, coating
everything with ice, and rendering
outdoor locomotion both difficult and
dangerous. The telegraph wires are
covered with ice, and working very
hard in every direction, many circuits
east, west, north and south being AL
most useless. Reports to the Associ-

thing for him to eat lie shot him three
times with pistol. Ross was sleeping
in the house at the time, and for fear
he would reveal the crime he shot him
also. Then, after rifling Depugh's
clothes of small amount of money,
and taking his pistol and shotgun, he
fired the house and fled. Newry was
removed TO Edwardsville tonight to
prevent the possibility of lynching, as

Cleburne, February i.--Sheriff Boyd
Yesterday went 10 Dallas and returned
with the Johnson county prisoners,
who have been kept in the Dallas jail
in the absence of any secure prison
here. He brought nine of them, in
Guiding Bob Farrell and VIM. Taylor,
convicted of cattle stealing; Dock Mar
tin, convicted Of manslaughter, whose
case has been appealed, and Shorty
Livingston, accused of embezzlement.
Now that these have been locked up,
there are seventeen prisoners in Jail.
The last installment of the contract
price for the brick work of the jail was
to-day paid over to contractor Slaugh-
ter. This last estimate by architect
Dawson was for 81, 1876, which, together
with the twenty per cent. reserve held
back from each previous payment, or
81, 1870, was paid by draft on the county
funds. The job is now complete, and
has been turned over to the authorities
Work on the pipe laying for the
water.works is being theoretically
prosecuted, nearly one-half of the
whole amount having already been
put down.

The streets around the court house

A hot, dry south wind has kept
clouds of dust flying in the air all day,
which makes pedestrianism decidedly
uncomfortable,
A small but none the less sure reduc-
ton of wages is going on gradually in
the working force of the Santa Fe rail-
way. A cut equivalent to ten per cent
has been made on the men in the car
department, and section hands are now
working for $l.l5 instead of 81 % as
formerly. 1t looks as If General Man
ager Snyder is not going TO have much
room to cut wages.
