The following interesting telcgraphic
correspondence between Fort Worth and

well calculated to disturb convivial cir

to arouse no small amount OF distrust.
Prohibition enthusiasts will doubtless
hail the Introduction of the adulteratlon

FEARS OF A FLOOD,

There was no little anxiety yesterday
among Seventh ward citizens and others
as to the result the high temperature and
steady rain OF the past twenty-four hours
would have upon the river, and many
alarming rumors were current OF floods to
descend from the mountains upon the res.
idents OF the Ohio Valley.
II is believed there is 10 occasion for
alarm, especially if the weather turns cold,
as seems probable at this writing. While
large amour. Of water has undoubtedly
been turned into The channel Of the river
as o result of the thaw, it would still re-
ouire several warm rainy days in succes-

having at that time fallen to IS degrees,
and gradually coming down. According
to the Sgual service roro:t, he tempera.

Monday afternoon strike will be declared
general.
A special to the Dispatch from Con-

report reached Connells7ilIs this evening
that riot Was in progress, and al! the
coal and iron police, besides numerous
deputies are now at that point. In tne

men. If q general strike is ordered there
will be much trouble, Gnd perhaps serious
trouble as the Hungarians are turbulent

not as much as a splinter can be found Of
il The residence of John Vincent, about
200 feet away was also wrecked, both ends
OF the building having been blown out.
Mr.. Vincent and family were absent at the

Special 10 t6s Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, January l6.-Members Of
the House and Senate generally believe the

adopted if it does not contemplate too
large expenditure of money. Every one
seems to endorse the idea OF establishing
plants at Pittsburg and another point in
the East, where heavy guns can be made
There is q firm belief that the Government
should as soon as possible put itself in
condition to make all the munitions ofwar
which may be needed at any time without
being, ss now, at the mercy of other coun
tries, or the prices private individuals may
impose.
Nr Randall, who is chairman OF the
commission, believes the people will not
object to this work, even though fifty mil
Hous are required. He believes that the
mostlmportant thing at this time is TO find
OF. where the expense will stop, ani no.
