New YoRK, May 1.-Two sailors of the
United States service entered the supe-
rior court clerks office, and after show
ing discharge papers, from which it ap-
peared one had served eight and the
other ten years, stated they wanted to
be made citizens. Chief Clerk Boesse
said they could not become citizens be-
cause they had been in the United
States navy service, but although if they
served one year in the army they could.
Mr.. Boesse said the discrimination was
an unjust one rnd he had laid the matter
before several congressman, but nothing
was done.

CINCINNATI, O., May 1.-The rainy
and cold weather which for the past
three weeks has. wholly stopped all
blowing and planting in Ohio, is cul-
minating in disastrous flood here.
Over two inches of rain has fallen within
the past "a hours and the Ohio river is
leaping up at the rate of four inches an
hour. The whole Of Northwestern Ohio
is flooded and wheat is ruined, while
other crops are delayed that the yield
must be small.
The Ohio river at midnight is Just
touching 30 feet above low water and
rising at the rate Of an inch an hour.
Rat row and sausage row are flooded,
but this is nothing unusual for these
purlieus.
DAYTON, o., May 1.-The Miami river
has reached unprecedented height. The
water has found several weak points in
the levees here, and there is every
reason for anxiety. One hundred and
fifty acres of the resident portion OF the
city are flooded.
SPRINGFIELD, o., May lat noon No.
day an immense water epout burst over
fremont City, village near here. AT
about the same time the river broke its
banks and within Is minutes the water
had flooded the town, carrying away
outbuildings and stables and flooding
the first story OF the residences. Great
damage was done.
At midnight 100 acres iu the north
eastern part OF the city. containing zoe
houses. are flooded, and the waters are
risings az foot an hour. Scorces OF fam
lilies are in danger and the police and
patrol force, together with the citizens,
are re5cuiug people, B1ats aud horses

Damage at Alton.
Sr. Louis, May The river ct s
over foot aince last evening and was
still rising. Up to s O'Clock this even
ing, water caused the abandonment of
the greater portion OF East Carondelet.
The telegraph Office of the st. Louis
connecting railway was wrecked this
morning and several small buildings
washed away. The body of man was
washed ashore near the site of the
wrecked telegraph office. Many persons
who have been living in the second
story OF their homes were forced to move
out altogether today, and several had
narrow escapes, barely escaping before
their residences collapsed or float
ed away. AT Belleville several
manufacturing establishments have
been forced to shut down, the boiler
rooms being inundated. On this side of
the river, North st. Louis is so far the
worst sufferer. The district known as
Oklahoma is now vast lake, with here
and there hastily vacated shanty pro-
truding few feet above the water sur
face. Trainmen from the east tonight
say the water practically covers all of
Brooklyn and a number of people are
moving out of their houses. Venice
will soon rival the city of which it is
the namesske. The East st. Louis dock
warehouse gave way about noon, and
fully one fourth of the vast building,
with heavy contents, fell in heap, the
roof sinking and settling upon the
wreck. Thousands of barrels of -four.
sacks Of grain, boxed canned goods, bun
dies of shingles, and miscellaneous lot
OF other goods were precipitated
through the ground floor and into the
water. One of the laborers, Cicero
Pate, colosed man, was crushed to
death under the debris. Two other la
borers were injured. The loss will be
quite heavy, but it is impossible to as
certain the exact amount.
ALTON, ILL.,, May LIN the past As
hours the river has risen nearly three
feet and is still booming. South and
east farms are nothing but watery
wastes. Several bridges are down at
Wood River, and the work OF rescuing
has commenced. The Wabash branch
was abandoned this afternoon and the
big pump at the water works had to be
abandoned, and altogether the outlook
is gloomy. =

Low Prices in the East Helping the Sale
of Goods.
New YORK, May 1.--The Commercial
Bulletin, referring to the reports that
the fruit crops of California were not
looking well, says: Similar tales were
going the rounds one year ago. Low
prices have helped along the sale of
goods latterly, and may do more in the
same connection later on, but it is
doubtful if the premature advices of an
alleged shortage in the growing crop
will carry much weight against ex-
perience with the last crop. Doubtless
the market needs stimulant in the
way of larger consumption, and will
probably benefit therefrom; but at this
moment excessive supplies of canned
fruits neutralize the short crop stories.
