WILL THERE Be A FLOOD?
THE MISSISSIPPI AND TRIBUTARIES
STILL RISING.
Only Three Feet Two Inches Necessary
to Garry 1t Up to the High Water
Mark of les2-Capt. Cooper Retains
His Hope.

AS The APPEAL has already stated, the
indications point to an overflow in all the
rivers The situation ON the Cumberland
and Wabash rivers is alarming. Along
the Missouri river the indications are for
one OF the heaviest floods of modern times.
The ice is gorging in the latter stream, and
the water is already out of its banks at
several points. II the weather continues
warm as 1t has been for the last few days,
the ice and snow in the mountains will
melt and disastrous floods must ensue.
All the little rivers along the Ohio are
putting out great volumes OF water, which,
with the rise coming from the Missouri,
will cause the Mississippi to rise several
feet more.
The gauge here at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon registered twenty-nine feet eight
tentlls, q rise since last report OF one foot
six-tenths, or three feet two-tenths below
the high water OF 1882.
Capt Henry Cooper, OF the steamer Rosa
Lee, in conversation with an APPEAL re-
porter yesterday afternoon, said: 81 do
not look for as high water as we had in
1882. don't believe we will have more
than thirty-one feet"
The gauge readings at the principal
points at o'clock p. IN. yesterday were as
follows
Pittsburg, IA feet, rise of feet so
during the last twenty-four hours.
Cincinnati, 80 feet 2-l0, rise OF foot
lilo during the last twenty-four hours.
Louisville, 10 feet 9-l0 rise OF LILO
during the last twenty-four hours.
Cairo, 80 feet $40, and stationary.
st. Louis, "a feet $40, decline Of $40
during the last twenty-four hours.

EVERY Democrat can refresh himself by
reading the speech made in the House OF
Representatives by Mr.. Nelson, OF Mime
sofa, Republican who had the courage to
declare that rs per cent, Of the voters OF
that party in his State were for tariff reyis-
ion. While holding the floor he sent up
and had read by the clerk letter from
Ex-Gov Pillsbury, also a Republican and
one OF the richest -four manufacturers OF
Minneapolis, who warmly commended his
course. He deplored the supineness OF his
party and its attitude OF open hostility TO
the interests of the people. No better en-
couragement than this could come TO the
Democrats In Congress TO push their work
Of tariff reform rapidly and make ii as thor
ough as possible.

Southern League Giants.

Fully $500 people attended the game
yesterday afternoon at Citizens Baseball
park between the st. Louis Browns and
the Memphis Grays. The Grays appeared
in their new uniforms, and presented a
very neat appearance. The game was more
exciting than the people expected to see,
as every one entertained the idea that the
visitors would have a walk over. In this
they were agreeably surprised, for 'our
boys" outbatted and outiielded them all
through the game. II was anybody's game
TO the sixth inning, when Memphis added
two runs TO her score, placing her in
the lead, which she held throughout.
The features OF the game were Daddy
Phelan's long throw from the bleaching
board to third base, throwing Mccarthy
ont in the fifth inning, and his good bat
ting. McAleer also distinguished himself
by making three hits out OF four times Mt
the bat, and making two Of the five runs
for Memphis. Force played magnificent
game at short In fact, all tho men,
bers OF the local club acquitted them
selves admirably. II was almost perfect
game Of ball, and, considering the little
practice Memphis has had 50 far this sea-
son, their work in yesterdays game was
simply wonderful. st. Louis also played a
great game, but il was TO be expected Of
them, as they are looked upon as the
strongest club in the American association.
The game was well attended by ladies.
