WILL IT BE A FLOOD
What the Prospects are for Another Flood
In the Ohio.

What the Prospects are for Another Flood
In the Ohio.
The main topic of conversation in town
yesterday was upon the probability OF q
food, and many and various were the
views expressed A great deal of uneasi-
ness prevades the minds of our citizens, eS.
pscially those in the lowland districts. Some
fear existed before Tuesdays heavy fall Of
snow, and the scare was greatly augmented
BY it. There is no doubt that, should the
present ice and snow 60 off with rain
a food will ensue, but should it melt of
gradually as it partly did yesterday, no
other damage would result than that done
by the break up Of the ice along the river.
There were reports in the city last evening
that rain was falling above, but from the
following dispatches received here it would
seem there is no truth in the report;
PARKER, Pa, February 25.-River feet
and stationary. Weather clear and pleas
ant
OH Cry, Pa, February 25.-River 2
feet s inches and frozen. Weather clear
and mild.
PITTsBURG, February Electromagnetic
river feet and On a stand. Weather cloudy
ana mild.
BROWNSVILLE, February 25.-River 6
feet 6 inches and stationary. Weather
clear. Thermometer 390.
RICE's LANDING, Pa, February 25.-
River 4 feet 6 inches and on a stand
Weather cloudy; thermometer 2S0.
A telegram from Louisville last night
states that if the present warm spell con-
tinues the ice will move before many hours,
and should a predicted warn rain occur
untold damage to property will result, as
the ice would sweep everything before it.

Hanging Over the Property OF Mes. Moore,
in DIorgantOwn.
In the closing debate on co-education in
the House few evenings ago Mr.. Lucas
declared that the property of Mrs. Moore,
of MorgsntoWn, is under lien and was
liable at any time to be sold. In proof of
this he read letter purporting to be 8
transcripeof the record in the clerks Office
Of the county Of Monongalia to prove his
statement. Mr.. Dean denied that Mrs.
Moor's property had lien on it and de.
manded the author of the writing. Mr.:
Lucas gave the name of St. George T.
Brooke, one Of the professors in
the University. Mr.. Dean char
acterized it as the production Of q
bitter enemy to co-education whereupon
there were some sharp words. The follow
ing kilograms from Prof Lorentz of the
University and Hon. W. I. Wiley, Clerk of
the County Court of Monongalia county.
prove the correctness of Mr. Deans position
and show that Mrs. Moore not only has no
lien on her property but owes no debts.

Much Trouble APprehended From the
Bursting Of water Pipes.
The present thaw viii cause great leak
age in the water mains from the frost COM
ing out of the ground. The frost is deeper
than usual this year and has been in the
ground longer, and will cause more trouble
with the water pipes In anticipation OF
what viii come Superintendent Riddle has
put on extra gangs of men to locate the
leaks and have them repaired as quickly as
possible, before another cold snap comes
on.
There is another cause of much trouble,
and that is that heretofore water service
pipes have not been put down deep enough
to protect them from the frost, the usual
depth being about three feet and half or
right in the frost belt. This source OF
trouble could be easily remedied by placing
the pipes from foot to foot and a halt
deeper in the ground. The old fashioned
stop-cocks are almost generally used in this
city for shutting the water off in the streets,
and this is another cause of complaint, as
they hinder the flow of the water in the
pipes. The round way stop-coeks should
be used. Several bursts in the mains have
already occurred this winter, and much
more trouble is anticipated. Half the
hydrants in town are frozen up and people
are unable to get water without going some
distance after it. This winter has been
harder upon the water service than any for
some time past, on account of the continued
cold SPELL thus causing the ground to freeze
to q greater depth.

Immediately locked the doors OF the saloon
from the inside and proceeded to search the
occupants of the room. There was a sus-
picious character in The room at the time,
but before the officer had chance to search
him the watch was found under table,
where he had probably dropped it. The
watch was fine gold one and was returned
to Its owner. AS the. theft could be attrib-
uted to no one no arrests were made, but I'M
doubtedly had it not been for the prompt &C
ton Of the officer the gentleman would have
been minus watch.
