HoT SPRINGS was yesterday the scene OF
another shooting scrape, another attempt
at wholesale murder, during which six
shots were exchanged by the belligerents.
A military company has been formed and
the citizens have sent out high-sounding
denunciations of the crimes which they
acknowledge to be disgraceful, brutal and
ruffianly, but they do not seem to be doing
anything to enforce the laws which, in
Arkansas as in other States, are adequate
to the punishment and prevention of all
degrees of crime. What is most needed
there is the ounce of prevention. If the
rowdies and ruflians who carry pistols
were arrested and put on the chain. gang
for 100 days, with the usual accompani-
ment of a ball and chain this shooting
and wholesale murder would cease, and
the Valley would be as quiet as it ought
TO be to be perfect sanitarium. The idea
of sick people going to so murderous a
place to be cured of disease is, of course,
preposterous. Meantime more extended
notoriety awaits the honest, good people
OF that already too notorious place through
a play just put upon the stage in New
York entitled Fun at Hot Springs.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, IND, February a.
Inch by inch the water has come up at
Jeffersonville till nearly every street has
disappeared. If the water continues to
rise at this rate by noon Friday there will
not be a dry spot in town. The sight is
most appalling and distressing. Houses
have caved in, and hundreds of people
are huddled together in some buildings.
Many remain in second stories, shivering
and suffering from dampness and cold,
and, in many cases, hunger The peni-
tentiary is still out of water, but with a
little more water the convicts will become
flood sufferers, with nowhere to 90.

The Attorney-General has decided that
sugars which remained in bonded ware
houses at the time the new tariff went
into effect, but which has been in bonded
warehouses beyond three years from the
date of importations, are not entitled, un-
der the new tariff act, to reduction of
duty, nor are they entitled TO the privi-
leges of expectation. He also holds that
beyond three years from the date of i'm
portation, whether duties have been paid
or not, are to be regarded as abandoned to
the government, and should be sold at
public auction.

THE Episcopal Church cannot afford to
shirk the duty of trying the Rev. Heber
Newton, of New York. That he is in
heresy and schism there can be no doubt,
no matter what English bishops may have
said about the Bible and Moses. II the
story of the Garden of Eden is not true,
then the doctrine of the atonement falls
TO the ground, as the compact between
God and Adams race was made as a result
of the fall and disobedence and expulsion
of Adam and Eve. The seed of the woman
was to bruise the serpent's head. To sweep
away the atonement is to destroy the prom
ise of redemption, and leave only the texts
upon which liberal Unitarians have erect
ed their structure OF rational faith. The
Episcopal Church cannot allow any of its
priests even to attempt SO radical revolu-
ton within its limits. That would, indeed,
be ruinous qualification. There is, there
fore, nothing for it to do but to bring Mr..
Newton to trial, and through such trial
let the world know if he is right and the
Church is wrong-if the Bible can stand
up against the light of modern science
and rational thought and criticism.

River seventy-one feet, rise of three and

inches; Gallipolis eighteen inches in
twelve hours; Maysville, sixty miles above

Gates that there win be but very few
inches more of water here.
. O'Clock P.M-The water is still at
seventy-one feet three inches.
THE FIRST FALL.
2:3O O'Clock P.M.-The first fall since
the beginning of the flood is recorded
The river is now seveniy-ope feet and hall
an inch.
Night.-At . o'clock pm. the river had
receded e-fourths OF an inch, and the
good neVs of the actual beginning of the
decline spread quickly, giving profound
feeling OF relief wherever it reached. The
first notice of the check came during ihs
afternoon, and the posting of it on Change
caused an outburst OF applause from the
people waiting for river bulletins. With
this decided cold weather and wind
the fall has every facility for being
constant and rapid. The Slight awells
at PittsbpFg since the first decline there
are not sufficient to bring the nver here
to the tremendous proportions 1t shows 10
night, after a decided fall, such as now
seems probable. Sill, with themost rapid
decline that can be expected, it will be
days before the houses are relieved, and
the process OF the fall is frapght with
much danger to the houses.
