ThN ININOIS.

A flood disaster has overtaken Sioux
City, In. Yesterday morning great
wave came down the Floyd rivcr,which
flows through the centre of the city,
and which was already swollen bank
full. The rise came few minutes af-
ter O'clock Warning had been Civ
en- but short time before to few of
the inhabitants of the lowlands but to
the others the first intlnation was a
volume of water spreading over the
banks to depth Of three feet, and
throwing a mist of foam from it. In a
few minutes the water had risen above
the first floors, and several thousand
fled in terror to the higher ground. AT
least eleven persons were drowned.
The Missouri river is very high, and
when the flood in the Floyd river struck
it the water damned up and rushed
over the adjacent low grounds. The
stock yards and packing houses were
situated at the confluence of the two
rivers, and they were instantly inun-
dated. About two thousand head of
live stock were drowned. The whole
railroad yards and switching track dis
trict is under water, and there has been
immense damage to the round-houses
and railroad property. 1t is estimated
that 5000 people have been driven
from their homes. All business is sus-
pended.
The Arkansas river at Morrillton is higher
than ever known and is still rising Fully
ten thousand acres of corn and cotton are
overlooked. fences and houses washed away
and tenants are deserving the lowlands. Many
hundred farmers will be bankrurted.

RICHMOND TERMINAL.-A large number OF
Richmond Terminal security holders attended
the meeting i'll Work, Strong & Co.'S office
in New York yesterday, and after long scs-
sion, in which number of suggestions were
made, W. L. Strong, chairman of the new
committee, was authorized to increase its
membership and draw up a plan for rcorgani-
zation which will be reported at another So
y-bondholders' meeting on Monday. The
plan, which has already practically been
agreed on, provides for assessment on both
the stocks and bonds of the Terminal COM
PAM, and il some of the securities of the
Danyi!le Company. The assessment on the
Richmond Terminal stock will he about seven
per cent. The Terminal Company and Dan
vile Company will he merged into one cor
porntion which will acquire the rights of the
Terminal Company in the various securities,
and at the same time operate directly the
Danville road.
A report that DreXcl, Morgan & Co. are I
the head of new syndicate, which will take
charge of the affairs of the Richmond Ter
minal Company, is generally believed to be
correct in financial circles, although at the Of
fees of the firm in New York. and at Drexcl &
Co. s in Philadelphia, it is said that nothing
has been done.
A meeting was held in Baltimore yesterday
to protect the interests of underlying bonds OF
the Richmond and Danvillc system. The
boadholdels think their organization will be
in position to act together upon questions
which may arise III connection with the
Richmond Terminal Company.

VALUABLE RELIcs.-Thc sofa on
which Lee and Grant sat during their
interview before signing the articles OF
surrender is in the possession of F. F.
Spilman of Culpeper, land the book case,
with lid for writing, containing an ink
stand, from which tho ink used on the
occasion was taken, is in the possession
of Judge Spilman of this county.
These articles were in the Mclean
house at Appomattox Courthouse,
where the surrender took place, and
were carried there from the Mclean
house near Bull Run when the family
refugeed back of the lines. BY sin
gulnr coincidence the first battle was
fought on Mr.. McLean's farm and the
surrender of Gen. Lee was made in his
house several hundred miles further
south. Mr.. H.. E. Spilman married
Mamie, the daughter of Mr.. Mclean,
and thus came into possession of these
articles of furniture, and on his removal
to West Virginia, left them with his faith
er and uncle.
When the articles of surrender were
signed Gen. Sheridan offered Mr.. Nc
Lean ten dollars for the table upon
which the writing was done, but he re-
fused it and then Gen. Sheridan order
cd his men to carry the table off Vi ct
armis. 1t is now owned by Mr.. Gunther
of Chicago, who paid five thousand dol
lars for it.-Wdrreaton Prginian,

THE SWORD OF Col. SKINNER
w. F. Pumphey, veteran member oil
Co. II of the old First Virginia, has re-
ceived from Col. Fred G. Skinner the
historic sword worn by that gallant Off
Ger during the war. 1t is immense and
worthy of old Peter Francisco himself.
The blade is three feet and three in
chcs in length. There were only two
such swords in the. Confederate army.
The other was worn by Col. Heros Won
Borcke.
1t was with this weapon that Colonel
Skinner at the Second Manassas cut
down several of the enemy's gunners
even at the lannon's mouth. Here it
was, also, that he received wounds that
disabled him for life. Here, too, Ty-
singer, Wight, and other gallant spirits
yielded up their young lives.
The sword will be presented to the
old First at the thirty-frst reunion, to
he held at Blenner's Park ons the 18th
of July next. There will be appropri-
ate exercises and the old sword, like
that of Bunker Hill, will always be
famous in history Colonel Skinner
will be the guest of honor, and he and
Colonel Palmer and others will speak.
Capt. Frank Cunningham will sing, and
the poet laureate of tho regiment will
spring some poetry on the boys if he is
not detected too soon.
The great ''razzle-dazzle" song of the
regiment will be warbled by what is
left of the glcc club, with the accent on
the last verse, as follows:
Now, wartime slices were quite thin
At breakfast and at dinner,
But when it came blue meat to skin
We had the champion Skinner.
