TWO inches OF Rain
HAS FALLEN IN THIS CITY SINCE LAST
FRIDAY.
The Whole Upper Ohio Valley Suffering as a Con-
ssqusncs-Damags by Flood Up the
River-Farmsrs Complaining
and Trains Delayed.

The present month of May bids fair to
rival, in the amount of rainfall. the ex-
ceptionally wet May Of last year, when
40 inches Of water fell.
Since last Friday alone 1.99 inches
has been recorded by Observer Schuepf,
of which amount 1.5s fell Monday,
Tuesday and yesterday, and at midnight
last night the indications were good for
a further downpour.
The direct loss in this vicinity from
wet weather has not been large, but In
directly good deal Of damage has been
done. On the headwaters Of the Ohio,
however, serious floods are reported, and
at Youngstown, o., the Mahoning
reached the highest stage ever known
Yesterday, while at New Castle a
large section of the city was Hooded
and people had to be removed from the
second story windows OF a good many
houses. All this water must pass
Wheeling. At Oil City, yesterday af-
ternoon, there vas nearly thirteen feet,
which is big for that point and indi-
Gates something like twenty-one or
twenty-five feet for Pittsburg, with a
corresponding advance on that here.
Thirty feet is likely to be reached at
this place sometime tonight or in the
morning. 1t is fortunate thing that
the rainfall was not so heavy on the ex-
treme headwaters as in the southwest
ern corner of Pennsylvania and north
eastern Ohio. Our kilograms show very
moderate stages at such places as
Rowlesburg, MorGantown and Fair
mont, for which people down this way
can feel profoundly grateful. AT 9
o'clock last night the marks here show
ed IS feet. At midnight there was 10
feet s inches, and rising inches an
hour. 1t was raining at midnight.
Railroads have suffered a good deal
through landslides, and number or
trains in this vicinity were late yester-
day as a consequence. Up about Pitts
burg there was much of this sort OF
thing, and in one or two cases bridges
were reported washed away.
One OF the worst consequences OF the
wet weather hereabouts has been the
loss to farmers. Comparatively little
corn is in the ground, and what has
been planted is expected to rot. Some
farmers have not gotten through plow-
ing, having been delayed by previous
wet spells, while wheat and other grow
ing crops has been beaten down, and
seems inclined to run too largely to
straw. 1t is getting pretty late for
corn planting, but nothing can be done
by farmers except TO wait for return
of sunshine and warm dry weather.
The country roads are in horrible con-
dition, the earth being thoroughly sat
urated, and hauling is extremely diffi-
cult in "mud-road" districts.
The rainfall here, as measured by
Observer Schnepf, since Friday, was as
follows:-

CAPT. RossELL TO RETIRE.

The Engineer Commissioner Of the District,
Capt. W. T. Rosseii, has asked to be relieved
from duty, and his request has been granted.
Since Capt. Rossell first became Engineer Com
missioner he has received several overtures
from corporations to accept lucrative positions,
but he refused them all until the General
Electric Co. made him a munifcent offer to
take the Vice Presidency and general manage
ment Of the company, with headquarters in
Boston. Capt RosselI has decided to try the
position, and has secured six months' leave of
absence. Eventually he will retire from the
Army.
Mr. Cleveland will, of course, appoint his
successor here. While it is true that officers of
the Army are supposed to have no politics, it has
become the custom for the Engineer Commits
sionership to change with each Administration,
the theory being to allow the Presidents choice
for that Office to decide questions on which the
two civilian mmissioners are divided. In
this sense the Engineer Commissioner is a nom
partisan representative Of the President.
Yes, have heard Of Capt. RosssPs plans
for the future" said Commissioner Douglass to
a reporter, and all have to say il that the
District loses the best Engineer Commissioner
it ever had. AS Commissioner have found
him practical and thorough officer. and ~ .
man an affable and courteous gentleman. In
him the District always had stanch friend,
and his loss is to be deplored."

THE ARMY REGISTER,

The 1893 Army Register, just issued. contains
but very few changes. Gen. Schofeld still
heads the list the senior officer on the Active
List of Major Generals Gen. o. o. Howard sec
ond and Gen. Nelson A. Miles brings up the rear
in the grade. There will not he any changes in
this standing until next year, when Gen. How
ard retires, and the following year Gen. Scho-
field goes on the Retired List also, thus bringing
Gen. Miles to the front rs the commanding
officer of the Army, which position he will
hold for nine years, as he is one of the you gest
officers that has reached the grade of Major
General since the war. The list of Brig
aders is led by Gen. Thomas Fl. Ruger. Gen.
Wesley Merritt second and Gen. Otis. who has
recently been advanced from q Colonelcy, last.
Gen. John g. keltou was retired in the Adiu-
tant-Generaps Department, and was succeeded
by Gen. Robert Williams, the only Virginian
in the Army Of high rank. Gen. Williams will
be placed upon the shelf next November.
In the Inspector Generals Department Gen.
J. c. Breckinridge is the senior officer, and In
the Judge dyocats Generals, Gen. ID. G..
SWAIN who has been under suspension for q
number Of years. and will be retired before
the expiration Of the sentence. Col. Lieber
will succeed to the vacancy as the senior in
rank in the corps Gen. Batcheder presides
over the Quartermaster's Department.. he
will have many years Of active duty yet be-
fore reaching the age limit. Gen. Hawkins
has succeeded to the head of the Subsistence
Department by the retirement of Gen. Du
Barry.
In the Medical Corps there have been no
changes, and the same is true of the Engineers
and Pay Corps. There was not an unusual
number of deaths and casualties, and the
courts martial were fewer than previous years.
