THE ANGRY FLOODS.
Nashville Inundated - People Fleein
From the Torrents.

From the Torrents,
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 9.-The
phenomenal rise in the river continues
and at o'clock this morning the gauge
rose 46.6 feet. A rise since Friday
morning Of 25.6 feet. Much damage has
been done by reason of the rapidity of
the rise than would otherwise have oc-
cured Probably between 1900 and
1000 people have been driven from their
homes and goods in warehouses and
cellars have suffered much damage.
As viewed from the bridge the river
is vast angry torrent, spreading out
over the lowlands. Nearly all the lum-
Der yards are overlooked and in some
sections considerable loss will result.
The river has brought out vast amount
of driftwood and it is passing the city in
great quantities. During the day it
was gaining slowly and steadily. Mer-
chants were busy all day remov-
ing goods from cellars and warehouses
near the wharf to higher ground. 1t is
estimated that there are between 300 and
500 families in the city that have been
driven from their homes by the high
waters. At the police headquarters
many inquiries for shelter are being
made. The reports from all points ON
the river shore that it is rising every
where and the fulness of the Ohio and
Mississippi will preventive Cumberland
from running down as rapidly as it
otherwise would.

chat with John Webb and Lucius Dotson,
Both men are confined in adjoining cellsson

shortly expatiate their crimes.
Webb IL in apparently good spirits. and
only once during the conversation did he
seem depressed, and that was when he
spoke Of his wife and little children. He
said that his wife had not been TO see him
in some time, and be feared that either she
or some Of bis children were i'll. As be
said this bis eyes filed with tears, which
remained there but a minute and he
cheerea up and spoke of his crime and
trial
II didn't expect that verdict said he.
''for believed that I did right, and / be-
lieve so yet / have no fear Of meeting
God, because | think / was justified II /
did not believe that Hill intended to take
my life / never would have killed him.
told that to the solicitor general when
gave myself up. and tell it 10 you again. /
think Hill would have killed me II I did
not get him out Of the way. At the trial
two witnesses swore 10 three lies against
me-"
Webb was asked how his health was, and
he said he was all right except when be had
fits. He has had two within the last two
weeks, and has been subject to epilepsy for
about eighteen years. Webb said be was
never in jail in his life until he killed Hill
and be had never been in trouble Of any
kind before. He said no he never belonged

impending fate. He has lost considerable
flesh since his conviction. Dotson does not
think justice was done HIM by the jury, and
said that, while he thought he ought 10 get
a new trial, he did not suppose it would
be granted. He has Bible In his
cell, to which he said he is devoting
nearly all his time, as he has turned his
back on worldly affairs and is striving to
prepare himself for the enjoyments Of the
better world to which he thinks there is no
doubt of his gaining admittance
Dotson said that he had been
visited by Rev. Griffin and other
colored clergymen, who gave him great
spiritual consolation. lie said that ne knew
he had to die some time, and it was hard to
have to sit down and count his days, but
still he did not believe he was getting
justice In being shuffied off in the manner
prescribed by the court.
