NASHVILLE, Tenn, February lS.-
The Cumberland river, which began
rising on the llth, having been sta
tionary for three days, is now on a
regular boom. The river did not rise
TO any appreciabie extent during the
melting Of the snow, tho present flood
being the immediate result Of heavy
rains in the upper Cumberland. Tele-
phone lines are down at a number of
towns along the valley, and advices
'are meager, but still sufficient 10 cause
considerable alarm. The rise was
very sudden, and when it got good
start, reached two or three inches an
hour. All the small streams flowing
into the Cumberland are very much
swollen, and large quantities Of drift
are carried on the,surging bosom of the
flood, which has swept away thousands
of sawed and unsawed logs, broken
the pontoon bridge at Nashville, and
submerged all the lowlands north Of
the capital.
The following table shows the year
" ranges in the Cumberland river at
Nashville, Tenn, al observed from the
United States Signal Service gauge, at
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
draw-bridge, from January l, 1872, to
April 81, 1884, and from the United
States engineers gauge, at the foot OF
Broad stret, from May !, 1884, to date :

Floods I'm the susquehanna.

BALTIMORE, MD., February l3.-The
warm rain last night and this morn
ing caused It abreak in the ice gorge in
the Susquehanna river opposite Port
Deposit The water backed up in the
town with such rapidity that the lower
portion was flooded almost instantly.
Several small dwellings were washed
away, lumber-yards and wharves were
inundated, and the Pennsylvania rail
road depot was filed with water to the
depth of four feet The telegraph
office had to be abandoned, and COM
munication with the place is entirely
cut off. Parties from there report the
low lying district to be blockaded with
ice, piled twenty feet deep in some
places. AT Havre de Grace the TEN
porary bridge recently constructed by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad was
completely wrecked, and it was re-
ported that several lives were lost, but
the report lacks confirmation. Full
particulars OF the flood cannot be OBJ
tanned here tonight, but heavy dam
age is believed to have resulted. There
is still heavy gorge in the river, and
the water is not running with suf-
ficient freedom to encourage the hope
that the flood will subside tonight.
Travel over the Columbia and Port
Deposit road is suspended, as the
tracks for over q mile are entirely
covered with ice and water.

At Quincy the canal is overflowing
and factories are under water. At
Hudson, Mass, the river has over
flowed, carrying off most of the
bridges between Westboro and Hud-
son. Tower Bros. machine-shop, T..
S. Carter & Co.'S and Moreton &
Chamberlain's shoe factories are
closed. Railroad travel is almost en-
tirely suspended. Many other cities
and towns are reported under water.
Water is everywhere, cellars and base
ments are flooded, bridges are gone
and the lowlands arc submerged. The
damage will be many thousands of
dollars. In tho Boston Highland dis
trict, the Westminster apartment hotel
will bo u complete wreck. The dwell
ings on the flooded streets are mostly
three-story marble fronts, and, al the
ground had settled greatly before the
flood, il is probable that most of this
section will have To be rebuilt. Resi-
dents are living in the upper stories
and are reached only by boats. A
serious food has inundated large sec
ton OF the lowland occupied by ten
ants in Dorchester. The easements
and first floors are atloat and the occu-
pants are unable 10 leave their homes.
Tha food has caused the shutting
down of both factories of the Boston
Betting Company and the Roxbury
carpet works. The German Baptist
church, on Vernon street, is under
mined and liable TO collapse at any
moment. There is seven feet Of water
in the basement of the Ruggles Street
Baptist church The water is still ris-
ing in the flooded districts.

Floods I'm New York and Pennsyl-
vRnia.

New York, February 13-The rain
which had been falling almost inces-
sanity for two days stopped about
noon to-day, but the weather continues
somewhat fogey. Reports of floods at
various points continue to be received.
In the neighborhood of Kingston, n.
Y, the waters of Rondout and Wal
kill creeks are very high, and there are
number of gorges and much over
flowed land. Heavy freshets have oc-
Cured at several places in the Cats
kills. At Dundee, N. j., the Susque-
hanna railroad bridge has been weak
ened by having a number of its sup
ports knocked out by ice. At Pater-
son, n. j., the Passaic river is five feet
above high-water mark and still ris-
ing. At Bordentown, N. j., the ice
is gorged in the Delaware river
and there are indications of freshet
as destructive as that of 1857. At Har-
risburg, Pa, the ice in the Susquehanna
broke this morning, doing considera-
bic damage. 1t gorged nine miles be-
low, and the water began to back up,
rising three feet in an hour, and carry
ing ice over both the Reading and
Pennsylvania railroad tracks to the
depth of several feet, rendering traffic
entirely out Of the question. All OF
the works in the southern section OF
the city were flooded and work sus-
pended. The poor people living in
the lOwland district were compelled to
occupy the second story of their
houses. This is the second time this
winter that they have been driven to
such straits, and in consequence the
greatest suffering now prevails. An
ice jam is formed in Lycoming creek,
at Williamsport, Pa, and many build
ings are flooded Anumber Of bridges
have been washed away.

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, February l3-It il
stated at the White House to-day that
the President has not rendered the
Office of Comptroller of the Currency
to any one since Mr.. Cannons resig-
nation was received. The President,
in order to have the benefit of Mr.
Cannon's services in case they may be
required before an appointment is
made, has IA yet taken no action on
his resignation, which was rendered to
take effect ON the LIST instant. Mr.
Cannon has not, however, had any
thing to do with the business of the
Office since the lst instant, In tender
ing his resignation he informed the
President that he would always be
ready and willing 10 give the benefit
of his knowledge and experience to
whomsoever might be selected to sue
cccd him. 1t is therefore thought his
resignation will not be accepted until
his successor shall have been ap-
pointed. -

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, February 13.-At
2:25 o'clock this afternoon the gorge
in the river at this point broke, and
the ice began floating out. No damage
has occurred as yet.
Ldter-There was another heavy
movement of ice in the harbor this
afternoon, and great fields of the
gorge above the bridge came down
and filled up the open places below
that structure, but it did no damage.
There is now solid mass of ice from
a point opposite the cotton compress
to Carondelet, distance of about four
miles, but from the latter place to
Jefferson Barracks, the river is clear.
There is also clear space of two or
three miles above the bridge. An
other movement is liable to take place
at any moment.

New HAVEN, Conn, February l3.-
Not for years has such Il severe storm
occurred as that which began on
Thursday last. The great expanse of
low lands between this city and
North Haven is transformed into Il
great lake by the overhowing of the
Quinnipiac river. At Meriden it
overhowed and caused the stoppage
of many manufactures. In Walling-
ford Doolittle Bros dam gave way,
causing heavy damage. Most of the
Birmingham factories were shut
down to-day on account of the water
filling the wheel pits.

WASHINGTON, February l3.-The
following is the report OF Chairman
Gibson Of the House Committee on
Expenditures in the Department of
Justice, submitted 20 the HOuss on
the resolution Il ferred ta the commit
tee at the instance Of Representative
Hanback,.
The resolution directed and empow-
cred the committee to make full in
quiry into sny expenditure on the
part Cf the Bell and Pan. Electric Tele-
phone Companies, The committee
have received letters iIon the ht ais
of the Treasury and Interior Depart
ments and the head of the Depart
meut Of Justice. F1em these replies
il appears that the sum of $S5 80 has
been spent for printing the opinions
in the Department OF Justice, and So
lcisOr-General GOode has Coot-soed
for ieea to be paid by the United
States 10 the amount OF $4,000 and
for other fees not fixed at the date
of the answer from the Depart.
ment OF Justice. These and no
other expenses appear TO have
been incurred. The author Ct the
resolution Mr.. Hanback, was called
upon to suggest any further evidence,
but had nooe to offer on the specific
question put by the reso htion referred
to the committee by the House. Your
committee did not feel authorized TO
go beyond the question thus sub
mittsd. Your committee ba', for
these reasons, sent for no persons and
hal incurred no expense,
Representative Hanback, has in

which he will introduce in the House
next M onday, directing the committee
to make thorough investigation OF

Local politicians and candidates
wA0 are interested in the August cam
paign will find on the sixth page an
interview with Republican that is
very interesting reading, With the
check of his tribe, he distributes things
to suit himself, regards it as certain
that the Republican party can carry
Shelby county, and that it is almost a
matter of indifference who the Demo
srats nominate, as their tickets certain
to be defeated. OF course we don't
agree with this Republican, but his
views are worthy OF place in the AP-
PEAL as a very careful and candid
statement from the other side.

THE most gratifying of the resent
events in connection with tho home
rule agitation is the formation of an
English association composed of En-
glish, Scotch, Welsh and Irishmen
resident in England, to cooperate
with the Irish Home Rulers in secur-
ing justice for ireland, and to educate
the English people up to a knowledge
OF the fact that even Mr.. Davitt does
not propose 10 disturb the integrity of
the British Empire, but only under
the broad wings of the constitution to
secure the right of self-government as
to their own immediate affairs for the
Irish people. At the meeting held in
London on Wednesday, at which this
association was formed, an Executive
Committee was appointed which in
cludes the names of Lord Ashburn-

WASHINGTON, February l3.--Com-
missioner of Patents Montgomery has
forwarded to Congress his annual re-
port for the calendar year ended De
cember 81, 1885. 1t is recommended
that some provision bemadc by which
the office should be furnished with
complete records of patent cases de-
cided in Federal Courts for publication
in the Gazette. The commissioner
says the examining corps is wholly
insufficient to perform its important
duties, and an increase of the number
of employees is recommended, as well
as general increase in the other divi-
sions. The allowances of salaries of
assistant commissioners are said to be
inadequate, and the practical result of
the small salaries is that many Of the
most valuable examiners desert their
employment every year TO enter q
more lucrative field. 1t is also recon-
mended that the salaryof the assistant
commissioner be increased from 5000
to $500 per annum. The attention of
Congress is directed to the fact that
there are at present no statutes en-
powering or directing the Attorney
General to institute proceedings in
the name lf the United States or
otherwise, h cancel or nnul patent
which may have been fraudulently
obtained or unwisely or inadvertently
granted, and which may work great
injury to the public. In conclusion,
the commissioner says that thirty
years ago there were but thirteen
classes Of invention. To-day there are
in the office III distinct classes. In
the year 1855, 4435 applications for
patents were received, while during
the last calendar year the Office re-
ceiyed 35,7l7 applications. The total
receipts of the Patent Office during
the year were $l,lS8,0S9, and the ex-
penditures were 81 ,O24,379, leaving
balance of Sl63,7l0. The number of
caveats filed was 2552, and the num-
bor nf iost,aa % sol

THR attitude of the Democratic Sen.
ators on the question of secret sessions
is indefensible, and in direct opposi-
ton to the genius OF our political in
Etitutions and the wish of the people
that all discussions OF public questions,
except in the instances stated bySen-
ator Blackburn, shall be open and
above board" Senators forget that
they are public servants none e'the less
amenable to correction and chastise-
ment because they are elected 10y
ktate Legislatures.
