ing their families and stock. A great
amount Of corn has been destroyed,
and farmers having grain in danger
OF being washed away are at work
With laborsrs placing it above the
high-watsr mark OF 1884. Prospects
now are that the water will reach a
much greater height than at any time
since the food Of that year. With
the rapidly rising river at this place,
and sdvices Of an additional rise of
the upper Ohio and side streams, the
situation 10 anything but encouraging.

night, report the river rising at the
rate Of two inches an hour. Hundreds
Of families have been driven from

The announcement that Mr. r. J..
Ecklotf, the Jefferson street grocer,
had sold his stock and to Mr..
L. F. Brugh, created considerable
surprise In business circles yesterday.
l. was rumored some days ago that he

toners. His store was az we'll stocked
ar any In the city, and there was
hardly anything in the grocery line

doug good business and had made
some money here" said he, but my
physician advised me to take q trip
west for the benefit of my health,
and having disposed OF my stock, l
shall leave for California in about y
month, and may 60 to Europe. l
shall, however, return to Roanoke as
soon as my health permits, as am
too much attached to the city, and
have too much interest in it to remain
away any longer than can help"
In answer TO the reporters question
he said he had been in this city about
two years and four months, having
come here from Washington, where
he WAS engaged in the wholesale gro
Gerry business with Mr.. Frank Hume,
now member Of the Virginia legis-
lature from Alexandria.
Dir Eckloff made his business
success from the start and by honesty
ard thorough knowledge OF every
detail, it steadily Increased.
Mr.. Brugh, his successor, has been
for several years a bookkeeper for
Huff, Andrews b Thomas, wholesale
grocers of this city. He il thoroughly
acquainted with the grocery business
and in honesty, fair dealing and pop
ularity is worthy successor to ar.
Eckloff.

around tho house and went in the
front door and met his wife coming
from the kitchen, where she had
chased her Oldest child and made her
take carbolic acid, aud took some her
self. The little girl evidently strug-
gled very hard with her mother, as
her face and hands were covered with
the acid. One child was killed in
stantly and one died about 10 o'clock
this morning. The baby, three weeks
old, was shot through both lungs, but
at last reports was still alive. The
woman and the little girl to whom
she gave the acid are also alive and
may live. Mrs. HcNeill gives ae the
reason for the terrible dead that she
was sick and had no hope Of getting
