TIE RAILROADs.

Mono of the railroads leading into this
city have suffered any Inconvenience by
reason Of the continued rains except the
Richmond and Danyille, which has not
been able to run any through trains
since Sunday. Their track WAS covered
! for more than O mile and half near
Benaia, which is about fifteen miles this
side of Greensboro, and the trains have
not gotten nearer together at that point
than three miles. The railroad trestling
there was racked and 1t may be that
some of it Will have to be replaced by
new. There was also an extensive wash
out. Superintendent Ryder hastened TO
that point and telegTaphed here about l
o'clock Yesterday afternoon that be e1-
pected to repair the washouts and bridge
in time for the south-bound train that
left here mt $40 and the one that is due
here Mt A. VI. to-day to pass over IN
safety. There have been some smaller
washonts on this road, but they have
been repaired Immediately and without
any stoppage to the trains. Yesterday
and Monday trains ran from here TO
Danville on regular schedule.
THE TUNNEL.
The rain of the past week has stopped
all labor on the Eighth-street tunnel.
The contractors had employed IA lsrsa
number of extra hands to begin work
this week. but the whole force has had
TO remain idle.
The water has risen to a considerable
depth in the shaft.
The sub-contractOrs have delivered a
lot of brick and timber this week, and
with clear weather operations will be
fully resumed and rapidly pushed.
AT MIDNIGHT.
At midnight the water at Mayo S
| bridge was 10 feet above common tide
and rising slowly.

ties its muddy waters into the James.
at the same hour, it was 20 feet 6 inches

From this it appears that the water

DR., Mumford's Denial,

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, January 16.-Sensa-
tional stories of suffering in Kansas have
been autographed over the country lately,
which, grossly disappearing the facts, are
an injustice to that state. When these ru-
mors were first set afoat the Times sent
special correspondents to different districts,
which were said to be suffering. They in
vestigated the situation thoroughly and am
therefore enabled to tell just what the facts
are. The weather in Kansas has not been
unusually severe this winter. A few weeks
ago there was scarcity of coal in some quar-
tiers, owing to the inability of the railroads
to furnish cars, but happily an r''undance
of fuel was provided before the cold weather
came. As to the general suffering in Kan
sas. it has existed only in the minds of IRE
sponsible correspondents. There has been q
large immigration during the past year and
naturally there are sporadic cases of destitu-
ton which have been promptly cared for IN
the communities where they have occurred.
All things considered, Kansas is having q
satisfactory winter with fine prospects for
big crops. It 10 in very much better condi-
ton than any other newly settled territory.

Harper Wants q Pardon,

COLUMBUS, O., January ia movement
is on foot, having as its aim the pardon Of
Z. L. Harper, the Cincinnati bank wrecker,
now confined in the Ohio penitentiary on q
sentence of ten years, and it is said pati-
tion will be presented to President Cleveland
asking for clemency in his case. Action is
not takea out of pity for the re1kless specu-
iator, but has been instigated by the very
men who he carried down in his fall. There
can be no question that Harper's business
talents are equal to those of any man, and
his boast that with a $40 bill,
good health and freedom he could
tight his way to the top again,
has captured some of the soft hearted.
Some of Harper's creditors were never anx-
ious to send him to prison, for they thought
that IL he went there all chances of getting
their money back would 60 with his liberty,
while his great business powers would en-
able him soon to make their losses good.
Now these same creditors want to secure the
wrecker's release and will use all their influ-
ence in his behalf, on condition that he will
promise to make up their losses as rapidly
a. he can. 1t would probably be worse than
useless to apply for Harper'e pardon now,
but the ball has been set rolling and appli-
cation will be made as soon as prudent to do

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 13.-Colo-

Eagle, is in the city, accompanied by Bent
Murdoch, his brother, who was recently
editor of the Ell Dorado (Kan.) Republican.
Bent Murdoch, who is one of the most
prominent politicians and editors in the
state, and vigorous in both mind and body,
was a few weeks ago suddenly stricken
blind, and now gropes his way in darkness.
For many years the sight of one of his eyes
was defective owing to injuries received at
Chattanooga during the war, but the total
darkness which now enshrouds his vision
came upon him suddenly and without warn
ing. The two brothers have been in New
York and Philadelphia the past few days,
Murdock's eyes. They universally express
no hope for the restoration Of sight, al
though they admit there may be such q pos
sibility.
