The Congaree on "A Boom.

COLUMBIA, March 30.-The -Conga-
rec is on big boom. The Govern
ment gauge at the bridge this after
noon at $50 registered the height of the
river as 24s feet above low water. The
freshet is almost if not quite as great as
the famous one of May, 1886. The river
is full of logs and debris Of all kinds,
plunging furiously down the stream.
All of the low lands above and below
the city are flooded, and the river road
between Griffin and Childs plantations
is almost impossible from the back
water. Two houses at the Lexington
end of the Congaree bridge are deep in
the water, and Mr.. Clark, the bridge
keeper, who lives on this side Of the
stream, has had to move out of his
house, which is threatened. The check
dam at the head Of the completed canal
is still intact, but section of the bank
of the uncompleted canal above it has
been eaten away. The loss, however,
is not large. The river is at 4 standstill
tonight.

The Alabama at q Stand.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, March 29.-The
Alabama River, after overfowipg all
the low lands and large sections of the
city, has ceased to rise. The Coosa at
Gadslen is rising, which may cause
another small rise here tomorrow. The
people took time by the forelock and
only one or two deaths from the floods
are reported, while nearly all the cattle
were driven to places of safety. The
Western Road is open to Selma, and
the Montgomery and Eufaula to Eu-
faula. The Louisville and Nashville,
both to Louisville and Mobile, is block
ed by washouts and high water, as is
the Western to Atlanta. The weather
is balmy and spring-like, and little suf-
fering has resulted from the storm and
flood

THE ALABAMA DELUGE.
Havoc Played With the Railroads by the
Heavy Rains.

ANNIsTON, Ala, March 2S.-For the
past four days the heaviest rains known
here since March, 1884 have been fall
ing. All streams in this section of the
state are out of their banks, and many
bridges have been washed away. To
day the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Pacific and Admission and At
lantic railways abandoned all trains and
traffic, and travel is at complete stand
still. 1t is reported tonight that two
children, living few miles from here
in the country, were caught in the cur
rent of Il swollen stream and drowned.
The rain is still falling in torrents and
shows no signs of abatement.
The Rain stopped, but the River Rising.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, March 2S.-
Night-The rain has ceased, but the
river is still rising and the people are
moving away from the low grounds and
great damage will be done. 1t is now
regarded as reasonably certain that the
flood will not stop short of the great
rise of 1886. The Montgomery and Eu-
faula Road is the only one leading to
Montgomery now opened for the pas
sage of trains All others are stopped
either by high water or washouts. 1t is
uncertain when traffic will be resumed,
as the heavy rains to-day about the
headwaters of the Coosa will give the
flood another boom.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March 29.-Tne
great rain storm continues. The coun-
try is flooded, ali water-courses are un-
precedentedly swollen, many bridges
have been swept away, and washouts
are reported on all railways leading into
the city. Trains that came in yesterday
afternoon are held, and none departed
south, east or west last night. The
Herald's specials from all parts Of the
State tell of tremendous food and
great damage.

ART EXIBIRION.

Those who enjoyed the pleasure OF
attending the Art Exhibition at the Col
lege rooms last week were probably
surprised to find that Dodge City held
so many handsome paintings. and such
a number of interesting relics and GU
riosities. The exhibition was made up
largely from the work of the art class,
and showed some of the work still un-
completed, with much which hau re-
ceived the finishing touches. Itwould
not be expected that such work should
be judged critically; indeed it would be
strange if it we're all good; but even
that which was least artistic showed
evidence of improvement, and some Of
the pictures would be justly entitled to
high praise. 1t was special request
however that no individual mention be
made, as perhaps all had made an
equal effort. The collection of relics
and curiosities was very large and inter
esting, and the whole display reflects
great credit upon Miss Gilbert, instruct
or in the art department, for her zeal
in collecting, and taste in arranging
the display, which was creditable alike
to the city and the College. Quite a
number of valuable relics and curiosities
have been donated to the College as a
result of movement, and this fact leads
US to say that no doubt there are many
others in this vicinity which the owners
might be willing to donate in the same
manner. As soon as the College build
ing is completed one of the rooms will
be set apart for museum, and its
contents will be tastefully arranged
and carefully preserved. Would not
those who possess articles Of this char
acter, which are not family relics, take
greater pleasure in them if they were
thus disposed of in manner which
would allow a greater number to enjoy
them?

Dodge and is there to stay. 1t will be
remembered tnat only a few short

when prohibition was first adopted in
