EI' AT NEW ORLEANS.
At p. m. to-day the river at New Or.
leans ;was three inches above the high
water mark OF 1874 and still rising. AT
Poydras street the water commenced
running over the levce and all low
places in the vicinity were soon flooded.
On the lower side OF Canal street, near
the harbor station, the water covers the
levee up to the Louisville & Nashville
depot. At Bienville street much OF the
levee Is under water and ut Canal street
the entire leyee Is covered with water.
The streets around the Sugar Exchange
are flooded and the Exchange is reached
by temporary plank walks. At Cleut
street the water is running over the
bank in quite stream, flooding the gut
ter and adjacent streets.
ALARMING CONDITIONS.
A Memphis dispatch says: The rivers
are in an alarming condition. The high.
est flood level ever recorded has already
been reached at many points south OF
here and will likely be attained from
Cairo to the gulf within the next five
Of six days. The rain fall OF the past
three days sums up total OF from two
10 three inches over the country lying
west OF the Mississippi to the Indian
Territory and south OF the Ozark range,
and from two to five inches between the
Ohio and Cumberland valleys. The
river at this point is three-tenths above
the great rise OF 1882, and one.tenth be-
low that OF 1887, the highest on record.
An Appeal reporter who has Just re.

the real condition Of affairs ut that place

A copy Of this letter has been received
by nearly all the glass manufacturing es-
tablishments hereabouts and has caused
no inconsiderable feeling Of uneasiness
for the reason that the supply Of soda
ask in stock is not large at any OF the
glass houses. Some have enough to
run three or four weeks longer,
but others have not, and should
tho strike Of the English dockmen and
colliers continue for any great length OF
time it will surely result in the closing
down Of the glass houses. Under the
present tariff on sods-ash the mauufac.
ture Of the alkali cannot be successfully
carried on in this country. a..tl -;

On Thursday evening orders were
received at StreatOr to stop operations
looking towards rebuilding the glass
works there lately burned down, and
I the strong probability 1t that no effort
will be made by the United Glass Com
pany to rebuild them. But" says the
Ind. Times, "of one thing the company
can rest assured, if they decide not TO
rebuild their works here, glass works
will be erected here far superior to
those burned down. The proprietor Of
the tank patent will not allow his own
city to be deprived of the advantages
that arise from his grand invention,
an invention that will revOlutiOnize
he melting Of glass. The facilities
here for making glass are so many that
our city is to become In the near future
the Pittsburg of the great west. Strea
tor glass works will rise again if the
people OF our city single handed have
TO become the stockholders and fur
nish the capital" That is undoubted
ly the way to talk it, and it Is just the
kind OF talk, backed by action to show
it not mere buster, that can be relied
on to bring the United Glass Company
to terms. And in the matter Of blus-
ter the Ind Times will need no assist
ance in keeping things lively.

anti-saloon republican, and Walton

debates to take place throughout the
country" unique debate! !" Well, we
should say so. The republicans, who
find the prohibition party such a thorn
in their side by opposing the sale Of H.
quor under any pretext, are sending
out these missionaries to prove that, by
simply opposing the saloon, they are as
good temperance people as the prohi-
bitionists, though in place of the sa-
loon the republicans would throw the
sale OF liquor open TO every druggist,
storekeeper, tavern keeper and grocer

Of the opinion that the building of the
electric street railway on Water street
ought to be stopped because there's a
hens nest on the route and some day
there may be "a hen on !" That's Sc
rious. The principal objection made
to building the road in Ottawa was,
that it might scare a horse over at

W. l.. Scott, democratic national
committeeman and capitalist, has
been cured of dyspepsia by the free use
of buttermiik. His party followers,
whose foulness of stomach is due to an
Over-supply of bad whiskey, will seek
in vain for similar cure-particular-
ly if the buttermilk is of the berry
kind usually found behind the bar

1t is just possible that If Bro. Sapp
would try the prescription himself for
eight or ten years regularly and would
but sweeten his own stomach with
some kind of "belly-wash" he would
not dish up so much slush. like the
above, to his readers. Mr.. Sapp may
be great deal holier than a great
