CHICAGO, Feb. 2l.-John o. Dicker-

tai, upon whom the experiment OF
engrafting 144 square inches of human
cuticle was performed Sunday. Jam
uary 10, is dying. The self-sacri-

contributed his mite of skin, and the
skill of DIR. Fenger and his assistants
have availed him nothing. The expert
ment was apparently q success, the new
skin seemed TO have become part of
the flesh, but his system could not
stand the demands made upon it and
he is gradually wasting away. The

ach was unequal TO the demands
made upon IL, and since Sunday he has

STILL RISING.

The Rivers of tho Ohio Valley Threaten
Serious Fiood-Ind!ana Visited by =
Soaking RAMA Long Drought In Ill
inois Broken.
PITT sBURGH. Pa, Feb. 2i.-Another
food is apprehended in the Ohio valley.
II has been raining all day and there
are no indications of the weather clear
ing. At all points up the Monongahela
river and Allegheny river, the water is
again rising and these streams are still
outside their banks A repetition OF
the high water of Tuesday and Wedncs-
day is feared. The work of cleaning
the deposit of mud and debris left by
the food is being prosecuted vigorously
in this section, and the downtown
streets are beginning TO assume their
wonted appearance.
CINCINNATI. Feb 2l.-While the river
is receding at Parkersburg it has been
rising at points below, and at Cincin-
natl has risen six feet four and a half
inches since 6 o'clock Friday morning.
At midnight it was forty-eight feet
three and half inches, at 5 a. m. forty
nine feet; by o'clock a. m. it had risen
eight and half inches, and at 10 q. N.
was fifty feet nine inches, and rising at
the rate of three inches an hour.
Reports from up-river points indicate
heavy rains. especially along the Big
Sandy and Kanawha rivers. The con-
ditions at this time are much the same
as they were at the time of the disas-
trous food of 1884, but it is hardly ex-
pected the present rise, unless the
heavy rains continue, will come within
Is feet of that stage of water, which
on the river front are engaged in re-
moving their goods to places of safety.
CoLUMBUs. Ind, Feb. 21.-For thirty
six hours there has been q constant
rainfall in the southern half of this
State, such as has not been witnessed
for years. All the rivers are out OF
their channels and rising rapidly. The
house OF fisherman was thrown into
the river by falling bank and two peo-
pie are reported drowned In several
places the river is changing its channel
and great damage will be done.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 21.-The
tunnel under the Union railway station
is half-filled with water. Several man.
ufacturing establishments and many
houses in the northeastern part OF the
city are flooded, and inundation of the
section of the city lying west Of White
river Is threatened The rise of the
water has been so rapid that in the in.
undated district in the neighborhood OF
the Atlas engine works many families
have had to leave their houses through
their windows.
VASpALIA, H., Feb. 21.-The drought
in Southern Illinois is at last broken.
Rain has fallen almost necessarily dur.
ing the last twenty-four hours
PARIS, Ill, Feb. 21.-The drought in
Edgar County has been broken By

Tho Ingenious Trick Of an English Rail-

objects thereto. The following Incl

"Will you kindly allow me to standa''
asked gentleman as he got into rail-
way carriage, which carriage already
contained the specified number.
Certainly not, sirl" exclaimed pas
ssnger occupying cornerseat near the
door. "The way these trains are over
crowded is shamefuly 4 : 81
"As you appear to be the only person
who objects to my presence" replied
the gentleman, II shall remain whore I
am" a4
"rhen shall call the guard and have
you removed, SIR"
Suiting the action to the word, the
aggrieved passenger rose, and, putting
his head out of the window, vociferous-
ly demanded the guard The new
conner saw his opportunity, and quietly
slipped into the corner seat.
"One over the number" said the new
conner to the guard, coolly.
"You must come out, siri the trains
going on" and without waiting for fur
ther explanation the guard pulled out
the aggrieved passenger, who was Left
wildly gesticulating ON the platform.
