The Farmers Losing Heavily on Grain,
Stock and Buildings.

EVANSVILLE, IND. Jan. 1.-THE river at this
point passed the danger line on the guage at
8 o'clock last evening and is still rising at the
rate of half an inch an hour. The water is
rapidly spreading over the bottom lands and
those who have not already been driven from
their homes by the rising waters are removing
their families and stock. great amount of
corn has been destroyed and farmers having
grain in danger of being washed away are at
work with laborers placing it above the high
water mark of 1854. The prospects now are
that the water will reach greater height than
at any time since the flood of that year. With
a rapidly rising river at this place and advices
of an additional rise of the upper Ohio and side
streams the situation is anything but encourag-
ing. The officers of the steamer Blue Wing,
which arrived here last night from Calhoun,
report Green river rising at the rate of two
inches an hour. Hundreds of families have been
driven from their homes. Many of them are
living in churches and school houses.

CLERK JONES TO BE INDICTED.
1t is Believed He Has Hid Himself in
Europe.

As has been stated witnesses have been before
the grand jury in reference to the irregular ac-
counts of Bernard Augustus Jones, the clerk
to Paymaster Goodloe of the marine corps, who
has been missing since Christmas, and it is
thought that an indictment will follow shortly
In the meantime the whereabouts of Jones are
unknown, but it is now thought that he has re-
turned to Europe.
The detective officers have discovered that in
1871 he enlisted In the tenth United States in
fantry, Col. Alexander, under the name of
Bernard Augustus Jaeger, and served in the
Utah campaign. He gave his nativity as Sax
ony when he enlisted in the tenth infantry
He next enlisted in the marine corps in 1881
under the name of B. A. Jones, giving his ma
tivity as Alsace, and served one full enlist
ment and two years of second en-
listment when he was discharged
to take the place of chief clerk in the paymas-
ter's Office at salary of 81, 500 per year. 1t ap-
pears that his embeZZlement commenced about
thirteen months ago and ranged from sums of
$50 to 800 per month, the total being over
5000. In each case his embezzlement was
from the fund for transportation of men, and
in no case did his pilferings cause loss to the
men of the corps
HOW HE DID 1T.
His manner Of doing this work was about as
follows: When a marine is discharged, if not
at the place OF enlistment he Is entitled to
transportation thereto, and it was his custom
to I'LL up papers showing that the discharge
was at a distant point from the place Of enlist
ment. If the place Of enlistment was at New
York and that of discharge at San Francisco
the transportation would amount to S133
All Maj. Goodloe's vouchers have passed the
Treasury accounting officers, and possibly the
defalcatien might not have been discovered
had Jones renamed at his post. 1t appears
that he had left an envelope on his desk and in
it was S55; that on Christmas morning he went
to his Office intending to place
the envelope in the safe. Maj. Good
loe was anxious to settle the accounts OF some
of the marines that morning and had gone to
his Office to await these papers by mail and to
attend to some private business. When Mr..
Jones entered he found that Major Goodloe
had found the envelope and placed it in the
safe. and subsequently, learning that Major
Goodloe had spent several hours in his Office
ii is thought that he became suspicious that
the major was overhauling his accounts and
that finally, alarmed lest his shortage be dis
covered. he fed
