Col. ARMSTRONG of the Leavenworth
Times ought to recall "Osterf4." He
is either an unmitigated idiot, who
believes all he hears, or "a liar from
taw." His letter of the 18th of March
from this city was tissue of unmatch-
able falsehoods, plainly so to any one
in the least degree acquainted with
Memphis and the South. We have a
public school system of which we have
reason to be proud, as we pay as heavy
a tax in support of it as Massachu-
sets does, and thousands of whites as
well as negro children are the bene-
ficiaries of it. "0sterfe" is unworthy
the paper he represents. He is an ig-
norant, prejudiced and purposed mis-
chief-maS er and a stupidity malignant
liar. When he cannot escape the
truth he exaggerates it to serve his
purpose of wholesale traduction of the
people of the South.

The River Falling Rapidly at Chat
tanOO9a.

ESPECIAL TO TRR APPEAL.l
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April g. The
river has been falling all day at the
rate of two and one-half inches per
hour, and to night at midnight stands
at thirty-one and one-half feet and is
It'll falling. News from above created
great excitement. Dispatches show
that nearly three inches of rain fell in
East Tennessee last night and to-day,
and all the upper tributaries of the
Tennessee were rising very rapidly.
The impression was prevalent that
the river would take second start
upward and pass the last maximum,
but these fears were groundless as the
fall continued, and it is now thought
it will reach banks before the second
rise gets here. To day the first mails
in eight days arrived. Western mails
were transferred by boat at Boyce's
and brought here at. noon, The
only mail was that of the
90th, but all delayed Western
mails will reach here tomorrow.
Eastern mails came by boat from
Charles on at 5 pm. Tonight the
Cincinnati Southern sent out the first
train that has left the city since Mon
day last. 1t is thought that trains will
arrive and depart on all the roads ex-
cept the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia by noon to-
morrow. The work of cleaning up
has commenced, and 250 men will be
put upon the streets tomorrow.
About 500 families moved back to
their homes to-day, and the balance
will get back in the morning. The
Louisiana Lottery Company sent 5000
to-day for the sufferers, but it was de-
clined, as no outside assistance will
be accepted.
ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.l
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 5.-The
river is falling rapidly. Heavy rains
throughout East Tennessee have again
raised the river above, and will prob
ably have the effect of keeping up the
river here at its present hight forty
six feet-for two or three days. Boats
are running regularly now in connec-
ton with the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad and with the
Cincinnati Southern. The first mail
for several days will arrive at 8 3o'cloek
pm.
The heaviest losses in this city are
Fayerweather & Lodew, tannery, $780,
600. 0sher losses, while aggregating
about 100000, are smaller in each in
dividual case. 1t is estimated that
about 1909 houses were inundated.
The citizens are literally providing

afternoon The water is nine miles

be frightfully swift. No other delayed
traveller was impatient enough to risk
a trip. Reports from Gadsden repre-
sents the situation there as more dis

night and to-day gave impetus to the
already destructive freshet. This river
is five feet and half higher than ever
known before, and is still rising
Many people living in town and out
on the river banks are rendered home

eight feet high. Many thousand feet

The water-works are drowned out,

NRw YORK, April o. Secretary Tur-
ner OF the Executive Committee OF
the knights OF Labor, having stated
yesterday in st Louis that Mr.. Hoxie
was not acting in conformity with the
terms entered into at the New York
conference, Mr.. Gould was to day in
terviewed upon the subject and said /:
THE stenographer's notes of the New
York conference show that there was
no agreement, direct or implied, that
the company would take all men
back with some comparatively few ex-
ceptiops. On the contrary they show
that not one of the committee expect
ed the company to take back any
men not needed or any who had
had anything TO do with damage TO the
property OF the company or obstruc'
ton TO the running of its trains. Pow
derly said if the company would sup
ply him with the names OF those law
breasers they would be expelled from
the order The whole committee was
very positive that its orders to return
to work would be generally obeyed,
and asserted most positively that those
who refused TO obey the orders
would be put out OF the order,
snd, to use the words of one
of the committee, kept out of it for
ever. A message from Mr.. Hoxie
was read to the committee, in which
he stated that only a portion of the
men formerly employed would be re-
quired by the company on account OF
u reduction in business caused by the
strike, and because a large number OF
men had been employed to take the
places OF strikers, who would not be

Madison Matters.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The election Tuesday last week was a
surprise to most Of the Republicans and
many Democrats also. Il. w. Keyes,
the Republican candidate for Mayor of
Madison, defeated Mr. Moulton, the
Democratic candidate for the same office,
by Ala majority. The meaning of the
election is a rebuke to the Democracy,
as run by Col. Villas and j. G. Gregory.
The democrats are feeling somewhat like
the impatient and eager crowd at the
Corners, of which Nasty tells. They are
very anxious for the spoils and not find
ing their leaders just mentioned ready
to yield to their demands, have taken
opportunity at the city election to
show what may become of the county
ticket next fall if something is not
done to satisfy the ahungry.' Mr.. Moul-
ton was elected Mayor by about 800 ma
jority one year ago, and now the vote for
Col Reyes stand 200 the other way,
giving the Republicans the mayoralty
by Ala majority and-a gain of two al
dermen and two supervisors.
Judge Braley, however, the candidate
for reelection to the municipal Judge
ship of Dane County was elected over
Frank +. Parkinson, by $50 majority.
The Prohibitionists polled about 100
votes in the city.
The recitations of the spring term of
the State University began last Thurs
day.
The students of the engineer course
are at last working in the new machine
shops.
The brick-layers and masons are rap
idly building up the chemical laboratory
and stone-cutters are at work about Sci
ence Hall.
Mr.. William R. Cooley, of Mt. Hope,
has entered the University.
The temperance people held memorial
services at the Congregational Church,
Sunday night, in honor of their late dis
leader John B. Cough.

societies.
