The water receded about an inch in The
lower end of town last night, and at noon
today the government guage register ed
S:55, decline of one-twentieth of q
foot. The south slough and large part
of the main slough are still very largely
under water, but the only danger suffered
seems to be from the floating away of
outhouses, and the consequent bad re-
suits to sanitary welfare.
A report was started last evening that
the city pump which has been in opera
ton ever since the present trouble. had
given away. This report gave rise to
much uneasiness, but investigation
proved it to be untrue as the pump had
only gotten little out of repair and was
soon in good working order again.
The lower saw mill is getting in readi-
ness to resume as soon as the water will
permit and it IS expected that operations
will commence again next Monday. The
other factories in the lower end of town
will resume as soon as possible.

Game, and Gets Five ofa Kind.
The Davenport base ball club has ac>
complished what no other club has ever
done in the history of the national game.
1t has made the first flush, so to speak, in
this kind of a game. as the result of yes
terday's contest with Rockford credits it
with five OF kind in the matter of vans
gushing consecutive contemporary clubs
without allowing them a run. In this
regard it has beaten the worlds best
record, as the nearest II former nine ever
came to succeeding in this feat was to
shut out three opposing teams in sue
cession Davenport won yesterdays
game through superior playing at every
point, coupled with miserable playing
on the part of the visiting club. Holla>
cher and Briggs composed the
Davenport battery and Lowe and Bow
man and Murphy and Snyder officiated
for Rockford. In the second inning
Bowman, the catcher of the Rockfords,
was hit on the side of the head while at
the bat, by pitched ball, and fell sense
less to the ground. He soon recovered,
however, but too weak to play. Snyder
was substituted for him.

THE IOWA DIOCESE.

The Iowa Episcopal Diocese conven-
ton adjourned yesterday afternoon. An
important feature of the morning session
was the introduction of the following re-
port of the committee on constitution

On Easter Monday of each year there

baptized, and when put to vote stood:
Clerical, for, 10, opposed. 7. Lay. for,
0, opposed, o. There not being a ma.
jority of the lay delegates favoring it,

1000 1nstsad u 10000 Plants.


Our figures yesterday made us say
10000 plants we're on exhibition at
Evergreen Lodge, when we intended
to say 1900. Those who have seen
them wouH readily credit any state
ment made about Them, but the
beautiful display needs no exagera-
ton, and as the plants will average
about fifty flowers each, there is to
be seen about 100000 oae hundred
thousand gorgeous blossoms in one
house.
Among the crowds yesterday, we
were glad to see many gentlemen,
and We would suggest that it is a
delightful bit of recreation for our
mechanics, merchants, lawyers doc
tors, ministers and others, to spend
an hour in walking out there with
their families and view these beauti-
full flowers, and enjoy the braeing
atmosphere of these autumn eve
nings, and enjoy the beautiful land
scape that stretches across to the
bluffs of the Cumberland and Red
rivers.
Last year at Memphis crowds of
gentlemen accompanied the ladies,
and the banker, merchants and pro-
fessional men seemed equally inter
ested with the ladies in the display.
Prof. Bust writes that he wishes to
bring over an excursion of his pupils
from Bethel Female College and
thinks if the proper arrangements
can be made with the railroad authori-
ties that his pupils and the friends of
Bethal college could fill one or two
cars. We are certain that everybody
in GAINESVILLE will be eager to extend
our old friend Prof. Rust and all who
accompany him a most cordial well
come and we hope the ladies and
citizens generally will take hold of
the matter and urge the excursion
by all means.
Mr.. Morton desires us to say that
the sale of 200 more plants this week
will not detract from but rather i'm
prove the display as the flowers are
just now beginning to open freely
and more room is needed.

Our theatre-gocrs who enjoy a
hearty laugh will not fail to visit the
Opera House tonight. skipped by
the Light of the Moon" is magnet
that seldom fails to draw out full
house. The piece is irresistably fun
ny and thoroughly enjoyable, and in
terspersed as it is with much new
music and many bright songs and
other specialties, it will undoubtedly
prove popular here for long time to
come.-The GAINESVILLE (Wis.) Recor-
der says of it:
"Skipped by the Light of the
Moon was seen for the first time in
this city last evening at Meyers
Opera House, and if the aching sides
to-day are any criterion by which
to judge of the merits of the
performance, then the universal
verdict will be: It's funny, very,
very, funny The piece abounds in
ludrlcrouS situations, sparkling dia-
logues, rich humor, and it kept the
audience in one continual roar of
laughter during the entire three acts !;
laughter the loudest and most pro-
longed that has been heard within
the walls of that theatre in many a

There was a genuine old fashiond
Methodist "HalIeluiah" time at Bro.
Brigham's church last night. Peo-
pie, you all should have been there.
The result was actually surprising,
and the way that the men at home,
as well as strangers flocked up to
grasp the gritty little preachers hand
was pleasing indeed.
Among the strangers that went up,
was Mr.. James Morris, the man
whose picture the CHRONICLE pre-
scented the other day with such loose
skin. This gentleman told the
reporter for this paper, after the
services, that he felt it his bound
duty to put his life to Christianity
from now on, and that while he
had never been sinner in
heart, he had been in the show bust
ness in order to keep soul and body
together. That as his nature was to
possess an elastic skin he had consid-
cred the exhibition of the fact a gen.
eral public benefit. Among others
who went up to greet the pastor,
were gray haired sinners, middle
aged, and young ones.
Mr.. Hill, the broom maker, made
another beautiful exhortation after
which he sang in great shape the old
time song cover There"
Every minister in, and near Clarks-
vile should by all means attend
these meetings and loan Brother
Brigham helping hands.

HELLO DovEai
The Historical Town OF Great Battle
Field Should be Connected. =

One of the most historic towns in
the world, yet the most Isolated, and
still in one of the best counties in
America, is Clarksville's neighbor
Dover. Down the Cumberland forty
miles, after following the twists, and
twines of the river, is located this
grand old town, which, when pass
ing by river these days, is known
better as Fort Donels0n. 1t is on a
great hill and far away from the at
fractions of civilization because there
are no railroads, telegraphs, or tele-
phones to Dover, and the only way
u person better located can hear from
there, is to await the arrival Of
boat either at GAINESVILLE or Paducah.
This old fOgy arrangement is in the
past tense, and the CHRONICLE now
calls upon the Telephone Company
to put up line connecting this city
with our kind neighbor, that we may
hear from each other daily, hourly
and instantly.
Dover is great town, and there
are many enterprising people in the
place who would like by some means
to hear from the outside world in
haste, as well as anyother people.
The telephone people could easily
put their line to Dover, interesting
other business points, and it should
soon be put up.

ACADEMY AVEN UE.
Build tie Road to South Clarksville
Even IF By Fifths.

The idea of extending the street
railroad t, South GAINESVILLE by the
Academy Avenue route is a most
popular one, and the people of our
lively suburb are a unit in its favor.
1t should by all means be constructed
and as soon as possible at that. If
the people need comfortable way
of reaching the cemetery cheap in
winter, they certainly need line of
street cars and as the route out Green
wood Avenue has been abandoned,
the idea Of Academy Avenue has be-
come more popular than the original
one. Now suppose the proposed line
is built in fifths the city to assume
the expense Of one fifth, the county
another, street car company another,
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
another, and the people of South
GAINESVILLE to bring up the rear with
that helping hand they are always
ready to loan to beneficial public
cause. This is way that the
CHRONICLE would suggest to Presi-
dent Shelton to begin his hustling
and if he starts, there is little doubt
but what he will succeed.
