Rhodes & Brothers, Pennsylvania
Manufacturers, Fall.

PHILADELPHIA, April IA special to the
Inquirer says; "Rhodes & Brothers, oper-
ators of the Aston. Knowlton and West
Branch mills, in Aston township, Delaware
county, suspended today. John b. Rhodes
is sole proprietor and owner Of the whole
plant. No one suspected any thing wrong
until Monday when judgment was entered
against him to the extent of $55,0O0 in favor
of his brother Samuel. Subsequently other
judgment were entered amounting to S45, 800.
Today an assignment was made to the Della
ware County Trust Company and Samuel
Rhodes. The failure is attributed by Rhodes
to the general shrinkage in values Of all tex
tile fabrics and the lack of market for
manufactured stock of which large amount
Is now stored up. No definite estimate can
be given of the assets and liabilities. The
former are known to be large. The land on
which the mills are erected Is over 400 acres
in extent, on which is the village Of Aston.
The mills use over 600 spindles and employ
about 1000 persons. The business consists
of the manufacture of d0eskins, shirtings,
dOmets and leans.

Signal Service Predictions of Prob.

able Events on the Rivers.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Signal Office
gives out the following regarding the Mis-
sissippi flood:
The Ohio reached its highest point today,
April 2, at Cairo, where the gauge reads 1876.
The river has been rising two feet in eight
days, and will now slowly fall. The Ten
nessee, Cumberland and Upper Mississippi
rivers are falling rapidly, despite the fact
that nearly four cubic miles of water have
fallen the past week In their catch basins.
The rainfall in the past three days in the
Vicksburg drainage area, below Little Rock
and Cairo, is equal to two cubic miles Of
water, which is causing rise of the Arkan-
sas river. and Of the Mississippi from Men,
phis to Vicksburg. inclusive, except slight
falls at Helena, owing to the diminution of
the back water from the San Francisco bot
tom and at Greenville, where serious cre-
vases have lately occurred. The water now
in sight below Cairo would cause a rise of
one foot or more at Vicksburg by Monday,
April Z, if the levees were standing, but the
numerous crevasses must retard the crest of
the flood wave and prolong its duration
slightly higher than at present. Below
Vicksburg the rise will be proportionately
less, according to distance. At New Orleans
this rise can scarcely exceed few tenths of
a foot, and will not equal the high water al
ready past.
