 rho New Englaud Floods.
 QUINCY. Ills, May 15.-The flood has done great damage in this vicinity. A break oc- cured in what is known as the Indian Grave levee. and caused loss estimated at $15O. 900. There now eight inches of water over the Hannibal and St Joe tracks west of the river, but trains are still moving The tracks of the O. K line, formerly the O., M. and F., are under water, and all trains have been abandoned. All trains on the St. Louis, Keo- kuk and Northwestern have been abandoned between Keokuk and this city. There is from two to five feet of water over portions of the St. Louis, Keokuk and Northwestern be- tween here and Canton The water at noon is within few inches of the point reached in 1881, and further damage is expected to fol- low.
 CONCORD, N. H., May 15.-The present overflow in the Merrimac is the second this spring, and as such, is an unusual occurrence Its cause is the large amount of snow in the forests and the warm rains. Four miles of Intervales, half a mile of East Penacook street and part of Bridge street are over flowed. There is yet considerable snow in outlying districts of this city, and an inn mense quantity remains in the upper section of the state. The annual spring drive of logs, amounting to 5,OO0OOO feet, Is now below Franklin, and may be scattered over the meadows
 LYON, Ia., May 1a-The Mississippi river is at a standstill at this point and lacks two inches of the high water mark of 1880.
 ROCK ISLAND, Ills, May 15.-The river at this point has risen slightly since Sunday morning. The Rock Island and Peoria em- bankment has so far successfully withstood the flood, although it is feared that should the wind continue to rise a break is inevit- able. A large part of the business portion of the city is under water, and much apprehen- sion is felt, as the giving way of the embark. ment will render homeless several hundred families.
 BURLINGTON, Ia, May 15.-The river has reached the high water mark of 1881, and is now nearly nine miles wide The cellars of a great many business houses are flooded, but no great damage has resulted.

The threatening weather kept the Dan burys home to-day, and no game was played in the city.
 ConnoI has made twenty three hits i'll eleven games, and Herman twenty five hits in thirteen games.
 The great Clarkson was fined $25 by Manager Morrill, yesterday for indulging Tn little painting at Pittsburg.
 For an old player, Flanagan of the Wor- cesters was guilty of a gross inattention to business in the ninth inning at Lynn yes terday He should have scored on his three bagger-he was first man at the bat and Wheeler's long fly to centre, and thus saved his side from getting the first whitewash of the season in the New Eng land league.-Boston Herald.
 The man who said base ball was sum- mer sport must be mistaken. It was some where about zero when Chicago and New York got together to-day. In spite of the weather it was good game. There were 8 thousand shivering spectators on the benches when the game began, and every one stood up and yelled when Roger Con- nor made his first hit. It was great hit. The ball went from his bat fouled for Q moment with some telegraph wires that were strung outside of the grounds, and then went bounding along in joyful, I-don't-care sort of way untilit found a home, probably in the Chicago river. However that may be, the ball went out side the fence ond Connor made a home run, and it was we'll he did, for New York got nothing afterward.-Sun.

The Walkers Get Their Money.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The division of the money won by the pedestrians has been made Littlewood received s3,71713; Guerrero, $1, ,4s6 s4: Herty, s1, ,115. IA; Noremac, $743 43; Golden, $371.71. Guerrero issued a challenge to run Listlewood or any man in the world a six days contest for $500 to $1 ,00o side. He preferred sweepstake race of six days. He also challenged Cartwright and the world to sweepstakes for the same amount for fifty miles. It is probable that Hughes and Herty will accept the latter challenge. Cartwright has accepted, but it is doubtful if he can se- cure packer. The race will be run at the Polo grounds in five weeks. Hughes com plained that he had received improper atten- tion at the late walk, and that he had to go on the track the second day with wet clothes on because his trainer deserted him.

Attorney General Taber B egins His In-
 vestigation-Both of the Accused Com-
 panies Enter a General Denial.
 NEW YORK, May 15.-The investigation of the sugar trust was begun by Attorney Gen eral Taber in the common pleas chamber The action of the Attorney General was taken in conformity with the wish of the petitioners named, Hugh J. Grant, Richard Croker and Thomas F. Gilroy, who com plained that thirteen men known as H. O. Havemeyer, F. O. Mathieson, J. E. Searles, Jr., J. A. Sturslcy, T. A. Havemeyer and others had formed an association known as the Sugar Refneries' company, assuming without authority this corporate name; used a common seal; exercised corporate rights; and all this without the authority of legis- lative enactment and without being char tered or incorporated The petition declares that the object of this association is to create monopoly for the purpose of controlling prices and adjudges it guilty of usurping, unlawfully holding and exercising a franchise or privilege, and is in consequence c public nuisance. The petitioners pray that the att torney general may oust the individuals named and restrain this company from doing acts a corporation.
 A second petition was directed against the North River sugar refinery, which had ceased Its operations, and the petition claimed that the charter of this company had been vio- lated and should be abrogated.
 To these charges John E. Parsons first read the answer of the North River Refining com pany, which denied separately and in toto the allegations set forth in the petition, and affirmed that when the North River Refining company had ceased to exist it had done so because of inability to longer continue busi- ness, and had suspended business before the formation of the St ;ar Refineries company, to which the former company had never be- come amalgamated.
 To the first petition a general denial was made by MT. Parsons in behalf of the com pany interested.
