The Platte River Ont of Its Banks.
Much Stock Drowned.
OMAHA, Neb., March 2O.-The Platte
river has again overfowed its banks,
and is carrying away stock and houses.
As . consequence of the late warm
weather it has spread all over the coun-
try adjacent a few miles north, between
Valley and Schuyler, and many cattle
have been drowned. Ice has been car
ried far, and by the waters receding has
been dumped upon the land. In one
place the
Ice Is 20 Feet High
over a 20-acre tract. One farmer re-
turned from Fremont to his home I'd
find his cabin floating in the water,
with his wife and children sitting on
the roof with ice all around them. AT
one point, near Rogers. where Shell
creek empties into the Platte, the back
water has flooded the entire country,
submerging many farms, floating many
houses, and drowning hundreds of sheep
and cattle. The heavy snow which fell
during the last few days is rapidly
melting, and it is believed that this will
increase the damage by the water. Nc
human lives have yet been lost.

COURTING A STRIKE.

by Ono Company.

OmcIals at Chicago Say 1t Cannot Como
Too soon--CAn Pill All Vacancies-An
Answer From the switchmen Demanded
by One Company.
CHICAGO, March LII the switch
men employed on the railroads entering
Chicago should go on strike the roads
would not, it is asserted, suffer more
than one day of serious Inconvenience.
Since the rumors OF general strike
among the switchmen were started
some time ago, the general managers
of the road have not been idle, and to-
day they have enough men engaged to
fill every place left vacant by the
strikers.
"We are not at all anxious about the
threatened strike" said prominent
railroad manager In an interview.
"Since we first felt sure that the switch
men would ask for an increase In
wages, and would probably strike II
their demands were refused, the man
ayers OF all the Chicago roads have been
quietly at work securing men to fill
their places. 1t has been no trouble
whatever to secure men in the east who
are willing TO come to Chicago to Work
on the railroads"
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois
Company has been at work the past two
days building berths in its freight de-
Dot at Twelfth street, which are 10 be
used by the new men, provided new men
are needed.
The officials OF the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois have made move In the game
that may precipitate strike. An or
jer was sent out By the road demanding
an answer from the switchmen employ
ed on thu road by tonight as to what
they are gdug to do. Grand Master
Wilson, OF the iwitchmen. said that he
did not know anything about the re-
port. President Carpenter, Of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois, says. how
( ever, that he issued such an ORDER. II
is also said that the general managers
OF several otner roads have made TIA
same demand, but they will neither
DENY nor confirm the report.
! The statement is made mphatically,
by well informed persons, that it has
been decided among the general mana
| gers that the losses of the roads occa-
stoned by the strike will be pro rated;
| LQdO luG tA pbuoCb VI uHninS bhC iOaNS
will be borne equally by all the roads,
and should 1t happen that the men
would go out on only few Of the roads
the other roads will share the losses Of
the tied up lines, the managers acting
as unit in the trouble. They will make
a combined fight, and will endeavor to
stop, once for all, the danger Of having
a strike on the roads whenever travel
becomes little heavier than usual.
At the switchmen's headquarters
everything IS quiet. Grand Master
Wilson and Vice Grand Master Downey
refuse to say anything except that the
laws of the organization will be fully
carried out. The Grievance Committee
will meet either tomorrow or Monday,
and will probably settle the matter one
way or the other. A strike cannot
come anyways too soon, the railroad Of
fcias say, and they claim to be fully
prepared to meet it.

of curiosity he hal asked Nine. Cottu
whether she had any documents involV-
ing deputies on the Extreme Right.
The court then adjourned.
The greatest excitement prevails. AT
half-past twelve o'clock this Sunday
morning, NJ. Bourgeois, Minister OF
Justice, resigned his Office, and the
news, coupled with the days exposures,
has caused a widespread ferment In
Paris.
NJ. Roubut, the former premier, In an
interview with the correspondent TO-
night, made an emphatic statemedt 10
the effect that he had given no orders
to Soinoury to procure any compro-
missing documents in the possession OF
Nine. Cotsu as the price Of her hus-
bands release.
M. Bourgeois IN his letter to M;
Ribot announcing his resignation, SAID
that be resigned because NJ. Soinourys
evidence had failed to establish the
fact that he had never authorized any
one 10 approach Madame Cottu In con-
nection with the Panama case, and he
felt that there was no alternative but
to resign in order to free himself from
all suspicion.

THE GERMAN ARMY BILL.
Arguments on the Measure in the Reiohs-
tag-Ths Emperor's Overture to the


ArEum enta on bne MEASURE IN the fteicns-
tag-Ths Emperor's Overture to the
Pope.
BERLIN, March l1.-Once more the
opponents of the army bill are jubilant.
They declare that the government sus-
tanned decisive defeat yesterday by
the committee Of twenty-eight reject
ing the essential clauses, but
the organs of Chancellor Won CapriVi
respond that the result Of the commit
tees action will be negative one and
that it leaves the fate OF the bill unset
tied. They add that even II majority
of the committee finally refuse TO COM
promise the government will not cease
the struggle until IL challenges vote
at plenary sitting Of the Reichstag.
The truth is the government is real
izing more and more how difficult 1t will
be to obtain any form OF the bill worth
having and IL is manRuvreing for time
during which it hopes 70 take sdvan-
taee Of the dissensions Of the Centerist
party TO secure a small majority.
Count Won Balestrom, IL is stated, Is
secretly offering the Chancellor the
support OF the Centerists in exchange
for the readmission Of the Jesuits.
Through this tangle Of party schisms
and lobby intrigues the army bill may
emerge safe, but not for many days.
Herr Ahlwart, the notorious Jew
batter, made his first speech In the
Reichstag during the discussion Of the
war budget. 1t was entirely personal
speech, having no relation whatever TO
the matter before the house. The
Chancellor, Herr Ahlwart said. had
called him a lIbeIler. he maintained
that he had only fulfilled 3 patriotic
duty in revealing the faults Of those
who entrusted Jews with the armament
OF the German forces. He repeated,
amid chilling silence, his accusations
against the government for taking the
defective Loewe rifles
During the same debate Herr Richter
asked whether the budget included the
sums paid the newspapers for support
ing the army bill.
Chancellor Won Caprivi Indignantly
denied that single pfennig hadsbeen
so expended.
Oyer,ures for an interview between
the Emperor and the Pope have met
with a cold response from Cardinal

subjects His Holiness would prefer TO
communicate with him through his
cardinal secretary. !,
Cardinal Kopp, Prince Archbishop OF
Breslau, has vainly tried to influence
the Pope to reconsider his French pol
icy. and it is stated that as first step
to this, asked for, is the dismissal OF
Cardinal Ramsolla and the appointment
OF Cardinal Galimberti, or some other
prelate favoring the Triple Alliance as
pspal secretary in his stead. Inc
Pope was entirely deaf TO Cardinal
Kopp's arguments and was equally deaf
to the persuasions Of others with sup
posedly high influences. There is no
doubt that he will also pay as little at
tentIon to Emperor Williams influence
so that the visit of the Emperor TO the
Vatican will be merely ceremonial.

MITCHELL STILL IN TOWN.
The Party Has Failed to Get Away From
New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, LA. March IL
Hall, Mitchell, Arlington and party have
not succeeded in getting out OF the
city. They secured sleeping berths for
this morning, but did not take the
train. Then they bought berths for
this evening, and were again prevented
from leaving. Mitchell is out about
$500 for berths he could not use. Hall
has been drinking heavily since his de-
feat, and il is impossible to get him
away. He was out seeing the town this
evening, and was hardly able to walk.
Fitzsimmons has not yet received his
purse, but members Of the club said this
evening that he would receive it in good
time and would not be losing anything
by waiting,
Hall has been too much under the
weather to attempt 10 get another
match. Mitchell and his friends will
make another effort to leave the city
tomorrow morning.
Fitz left for Bay st. Louis tonight.
ae is very popular with the people,
among whom be has taken up his resi-
dence, and they had prepared recep-
tion and celebration which only lacked
Fitz to break loose and illuminate the
coast, and so the champion was sent
for.
Bat Masterson remained for several
days in ordor TO escort the Mitchell
party TO Denver, and this morning left
in disgust and alone.

Part of Mrs. Rhodes.

By the Jefferson County, Ohio, Court on
the Ground of Voluntary Absence on the
Part of Mrs. Rhodes.
Spsetal Telegram TO the Register.
SrEUBENvILIE, o., March ia
transaction, occupying about hfteen
minutes time. took place in Common
Pleas Court yesterday evening, the I'M
portance Of which cannot be gauged Oy
the time consumed. The matter IS o!
considerable interest to the people OF
Wheeling, Bridgeport, Bellaire and ad-
iacent country, for the reason that the
parties intimately concerned Tor num-
ber of years resided at Bridgeport ana
are well known thereabouts.
On the 25th of February. 1879, Cnas.
NJ. Rhodes, glass manufacturer OF
Bridgeport, and Miss Mary b. Beatty,
sister OF Beatty Bros, the Steuoenyllle
glass men, were united in marriage. The
wedding was celebrated with ecldt at the
home of the bride in this city, and after
an extended bridal trip the couple set
tied down TO domestic life In Bridgeport
and from all reports, for number OF
years happier couple never lived TO-
gether.
After time Mr.. Rhodes met with
business reverses, and this, coupled with
other matters, caused discomfort to en-
ter the household. After the removal
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes to this city
circumstances occurred which increased
the difficulty between them, and some
three years ago Mrs. Rhodes left her
husband and took up her residence at
the Beatty homestead, taking with her
her two children, Abbie G. Rhodes ana
Charles M. Rhodes.
During this three years the husband
maintained a residence on the corner OF
Fourth and Franklin streets, TO which
the wife could have gone at any time,
but she never did. However, the chill
dren visited their father at this place
duite frequently.
II was a great surprise when 1t be-
II 'ame known that an application for a
kSyorce had been made by Mr.. Rhodes
ad that it was granted, for it was well
uIierstood that his main object In
maintaining a residence was to prevent
hS wife from obtaining a decree on the
gfS,nd Of non-suppors, &c.
Pc journal entry of the divorce
gran ID by Judge Mansfield shows
that. Ae ground upon which 1t was ap-
piled er was willful Absence OF the de-

Big Wool Firm Falls

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March IL

wooden merchants, have assigned. The
firm is rated at over S1,OOO,OOO The
House has always had high reputation
for integrity and financial strength, and
the present embarrassment-which IL is
hoped the assgneeS will be able TO re-
trieve-iS regarded generally as the re-
suit Of over production, depressed sales
and heavy credit, which an active trade
would have overcome. One Of the most
prominent commission merchants in the
city stated that so far as the trade is
concerned the failure will have much
more effect in Boston than here. For
some time past the firm has bought
most OF its wool IN the Boston market,
and whatever IL owes for purchases is
due 70 merchants in that city. 1t is not
known whether or not the firm has
much paper afoat In Philadelphia,
There Is no apprehension Of any other
concerns being involved by the failure,
the trade being better prepared to stand
such a shock at this time Of year than
al any other.
