ANOTHER RISE
NAY BE LOOKED FOR IN TIE RIVER TO
DAY.
Ths( Allegheny Ice Comng-HeaF Rains All
Through the Esadwaiers 7fIhe Lower
Rivers Also Swelling.

The indications at midnight last night
were that the river would be rising at
this point this morning, with proba-
5ility Of something like thirty feet by
tomorrow night or Saturday morning.
At one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the marks at the wharf stood sixteen
feet five inches, and at ten O'Clock last
night the marks were sixteen feet three
inches, change Of but two inches in
nine hours. But little ice was running
at a late hour, but news from Pittsburg
I'm the early evening was TO the effect
that the Allegheny ice was running
out, which means that that the rains
have been general, and that both rivers
are coming. At midnight last night the
rain was coming down about as lively as
ever, with no indications that IL would
cease soon. At times during the night
the dOwnpOur was hard, and II general
will about clear out all the snow IN the
mountains of West Virginia, Western
Pennsylvania and Southwestern New
York, all Of which water must come by
Wheeling on its way to the sea.
From all the data prOcurable last
night, there seems 70 be no reason 70
fear a flood calculated TO do damage,
and the only thing which points TO a
high river is the good stage Of water we
have here to start with. When the
breakup of q few days ago came, the
river Jumped from six feet to twenty
two. Now it starts at sixteen feet, or
ten feet better, aud will most likely 60
20 about thirty feet before 10 stops.
This latter stage will result in
no loss or inconvenience, but will
enable the boats now high and dry at
the wharf, TO be flOaJed again.
WOrkmen were busy about these
boats yesterday, il being possible 10
walk clear around them, and they were
shored uD so they will sit level and
steady until the next rise comes.
The Big Kanawha river, at Charles
toy, was 10 feet and rising Wednesday
morning New river, at the same time,
was 3 feet inches aud rising. This in
dicates big water for the Ohio below
PIT. Pleasant, and If IL keeps on raining
in the Upper Ohio river region will
help 70 keep the Ohio swelled at this
point.
Below will be found the latest news
from points above
PIrTsBURG, PA, February 1t has
been raining here for nearly twenty-fouT
hours, and the rivers are again rising.
The MOnOngahela was Il feet at III
o'clock. A breakup Of the upper Ale
gheny to-day sent another supply OF
ice down the river, but no damage was
done. The rivermen do not anticipate
a flood, and expect TO send out their
tOWbOats tomorrow.

with Postal Cards Asking for Agents for
the 'Life OF Blaine"


1.-THE mails are Over-run with postal
cards from publishing houses, address
ed to people who are asked to become
agents for Lives OF Blaine, said a
postal clerk, at the pOstoffice, last
night. "On my run out OF Chicago we
got four tie sacks Of solid postal cards,
containing printed reQuesI TO persons
TO act as agents for this book, and this
sudden increase of thousands upon
thousands OF pieces Of mail matter for
distribution knocked the life out of US
on the run, and il was tough work max
ing our deliveries along the line. All
the clerks from other large cities are
swamped in the same manner, and be-
lieve a hundred thousand such notices
have been sent out since Blaine's
death"
A clerk on an Eastern run cOrrObO-
rated this statement, and said the as
sortment Of the mails in the postal cars
was being seriously interiered with by
the great avalanChes OF letters and
cards being sent out by the Blaine pub
fishers.

A Lunacy Case.

Officer O'Brien arrested Mrs. Eliza
Bowman, at 24O7, alley &C, on the
South Side yesterday. The charge was
lunacy, and Justice Wm. Manion took
charge Of the case. The charge was
made by William Bowman, father Of
the woman arrested.
This lady married John Bowman, her
full cousin, few years ago, and the
couple lived happily together, at Tria-
delphia, till the wife began to show
signs of insanity. After several strange
adventures at her home, she took her
little child and left her home and came
TO her fathers without telling her hus-
band, who was naturally much alarmed
over her disappearance till he found
the whereabouts of his wife.
When the woman arrived at the
brothers home, the child was uRhurt.
The mothers actions became peculiar.
She went through several strange
freaks, and made two attempts, yeSter-
day, to drown herself. In one of these
attempts she got nearly to the rivers
brink. Then the brother had Officer
0'Brien to arrest her.
She was lodged in jail, where Dr.
Wilson examined her, and the papers
will be made out tomorrow. She will
be sent to the asylum.
