THE CUMBERLAND RISING,

Thousands of People Driven From Their
Homes, and Merchandise Damaged.
NASHVILLE, March 9.-The phenomenal rise
in the river continues and at o'clock this
morning the gauge read 1855 feet, a
rise since Friday morning of 25.6 feet
Much more damage has been done by
reason of the rapidity of the rise than
would otherwise have occurred. Probably be-
tween l,5o0 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 lumber
yards are overfowed, and in some a considera-
BILE loss will result.
The river has brought out a vast amount of
driftwood and it is passing the city in great
quantities. The reports from all points ON the
river show that it is rising everywhere, and the
fullness of the Ohio and Mississippi will pre-
vent the Cumberland from running down as
rapidly as it otherwise would.

and for time suspend the operations of
several manufactures. The rainfall here for
36 hours is 81 inches, and extends up the river
and in East Tennessee generally. The sky is
overcast, and the indications for more showers
are very promising.
At o'clock this afternoon the river con-
tinues to rise slowly at about one-quarter of an
inch an hour. The gauge registers 4S3
feet. AS the rise is more grad
ual the people occupying houses in the
flooded district are being cared for by the diff
ferent charitable orders of the city 1t is ex-
pected the river will begin to recede at this
afternoon, as reports have been received from
uD-river points to the effect that the high

A NEW PLAN OF RAPID TRANSIT.
A System of Cable Roads Proposed Under
Chicago Sidewalks.

Chicago Sidewalks.
CHICAGO, March 9.-The Daily Neaos to-mor-
row will publish novel plan for street transit
in large cities. The scheme is, in brief.
an under-the-sidewalk cable road to be
run north, south and west from
a central point in the heart of
the city. 1t is declared that company of
wealthy capitalists stand prepared with their
money and their influence to execute the
novel plan of underground transportation,
which, they declare is entirely practicable. 1t
is claimed that thoroughly competent body
has presented a report after long and careful
investigation and surveys declaring the
project feasible.
The plan contemplates running out on one
side of a stand, returning on the other side.
The style of cars will be similar to the present
cable cars and the whole underground road
way, including the cars, will be lighted with
electricity. Stations will be arranged at the
corners of intersecting streets in Easements of
large buildings. The projectors claim for their
plan the advantages OF a high rate of speed not
possible on the surface. and great relief TO the
Overcr0wded streets by the removal OF the
enormous passenger traffic now conducted and
which is constantly growing.
