the Philadelphia Public Ledger. His
name is the synonym for liberality
and humanity. He is first in every

has long been an example to other
employers of what man ought to be

both just and generous, large he arted
and open. handed. Mr.. Childs has a

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-04-04

THE blood OF every man iilled at
Fort Worth yesterday is upon Jay
Gorld's head. Had he carried out in
good faith the promises he made to
Grand Master Powderly, all the strik-
ers would by this time have been at
work, and peace and industry would
again be in the ascendent all along
the Gould Southwestern system of
railroads. But he preferred to act
with the consummate duplicity
that is natural to him, and found a
fsithful lieutenant in Hoxie, whose
attitude toward the workingmen from
the first seems to have been that of a
man who believes in grinding labor
and crushing all manly feeling. The
unfortunate men thus goaded to DIES
peration by the deceit and double
dealing practiced by Gould, who
confidently relied upon his faithful
lieutenant, have been driven to an
extreme that their best friends must
regret. By all means disorder, tumult
and destruction of property are to be
avoided as making for Gould and
lessening the sympathy of the country
for the struggling workingmen.

The food news this morning is of a
mos, alarming character, especially in
the submerged regions of Alabama,
which cannot be reached by steam
ers. The people are in a destitute
condition, many of them wholly with
out food. Chattanooga is still over
flowed and cut off from the world, the
railroads all being under water. The
Upper Ohio is declining rapidly, but
a great wall of water is coming down
OH us from the Ohio, the Tennessee,
the Cumberland, and the Missouri and
Upper Mississippi are both full. There
is, as consequence, great apprehen-
sion below us, but this we hope will
prove a groundless fear. The river
below Cairo win, we think, be found
equal to the burden, and will carry
the food to the gulf without even en-
dangering the property by the way.

RtjII RIaIne AZ Cairo

CAIRO, ILL, April The river at this
point is forty-two feet ten inches
above low water mark, rise of six
teen inches in the last twenty-four
hours. This is nearly ten feet below
high water mark of 1883 and it is be-
lieved that the river will not reach
forty-eight feet. Rain has been falling
here for the last twenty four hours,
still threatening. The low lands in
this vicinity are beginning to feel the
effects of the present rise, and should
the river reach over forty-five feet the
damage will be considerable to farmers
in low lands and railroads terminating
1t Birds Point. Roads in Illinois and
kentucky are up to fifty feet grade
and no damage is apprehended by
Them.

The sItanIIon nt selma

SELMA, Ala, April 3.-The river at
this point has ceased TO rise after ris-
ing two feet higher than at any time
within the recollection OF the oldest
inhabitants. The destructi n OF prop
erty has been great all along the river
and many lives have been lost. The
entire eastern portion of this city is
under water, including two COM
presses, the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad depot and shops,
the gas-works, Union Iron-Works
Foundry and about 300 dwelling
houses. Citizens relief committees
have been organized and have gone
rapidly to work, and parties have been
dispatched with provisions in all di-
rections. The steamer Carrier, in the
employ of the citizens, has brought in
about 3 0 people, mainly negroes,
picked up from house tops aud tree
tops in the overlooking districts.
A fire broke out in the gas-works to-
day and consumed two of the out
houses, causing damage of Slt00 1t
will be two weeks before the city will
again have gas.
