Dispatches to the IETELLIGENcER
from river points'show that a general
break is commencing ali along the line.
APittsburgh dispatch says:
The ice in the Monongahela river is
running out quietly aud no damage has
occurred up to midnight, here or at any
point above. The river is rising about
six inches IN hour, with ten and half
feet Of water on the marks at II o'clock.
Rivermen look for fifteen or eighteen
feet, but do not apprehend a,lood.
AT MorgantowH It was raining at 6
o'clock and the river was rising rapidly
with seventeen feet Of water in the
channel. The ice is all out Of the fourth
pool, but lie still solid in the fifth.
The following dispatch from Cineln-
natl shows in what a serious condition
the river interests are:
The Ohio river Is rising very rapidly
at Cincinnati. All day the loosened
fragments OF ice from points above
filed the river and moved on, packing
about tho gorge at North Bend, which
is still unbroken. The partial dam
ming up Of tho river at this point by
the gorge caused the water to back up
hore and u rise Of nearly seven feet in
twenty.tour hours is the result, The
Ohio river since noon has been rising
at the rate OF four inches an hour and
this rapid increase continues at II
o'clock tonight. Rain fell here for IN
hour or more last night
The ice coming from above did some
damage, chiefly at the mouth Of the Lit
Ito Mama river, whore q number Of
bafges were crushed, causing a loss OF
fully $26, 900. Afew empty barges wore
carried out Of tho mouth Of the Licking
river and pennod in tho leo below the
city. Otherwise tho injury to floating
property, so fur as cat DO learned,
was insignificant. The gorge at North
Bend may DO expected to move some
timo between midnight and morning.

Mr.. Maxwell made the motion, and
in less than five minutes after the meet
ing was called to order it stood ad'

To say thai Mr.. Maxwells motion
took the Republicans by surprise is
putting it mildly, After adjournment
they gathered about him and asked an
explanation, lie said this settled II
i~rreyocably as to the wards named, but
the chance was still open to demand a
recount in any other ward.
"What other ward oilers an opening
for q recount?"
II can't say about that"
Some Republicans were pretty sore,
II was stated that at a Republican eau
Gus 1t was decided to leave everything
to MI. Maxwell, but q scheme WINS sug-
gested which seemed to meet with the
approval OF all.
This was to recount the Third ward.
all ballots whore all were agreed were
to be counted, and where there was a
tie vote the ticket was to be laid aside
and sabmitted to the judgment OF Judge
Boyd, q leading Democratic lawyer.
The quick and easy abandonment OF
everything by Mr.. Maxwell caused as
constituent that amounted to amaze
ment. Nobody understands it yet.

CHEATS-THE
Chas. j. Wooster, the Murderer OF
Martin O'Brien, Commits Suicide
in His Cell Friday Night.

The people of White Sulphur
Springs were surprised and shocked
Saturday morning by the report on
the street that Chas. J. Wooster had
committed suicide in his cell by
hanging himself. Saturday morning,
George Wallwork, the %jailor, showed
back the bar of the cells at the usual
hour. to allow the prisoners to come
to breakfast. Shortly afterward he
was called by the other prisoners,
who stated that Wooster had hung
himself and "A visit to the cell verified
the statement. An investigation
showed that he had ripped strips of
ducking off the sides of the bunk
and made a rope with which to do
the deed. Having made the rope
he tied one end to the upper bar of
the back ventilator, got up into his
bunk, tied the rope around his neck,
Secured his hands and rolled off the
cot and the job was done.
He has several times made the
assertion that he would not hang but
that he would cut his throat with a
glass first. He talked about the
case in Great Falls where a man
committed suicide in his cell and
explained to his companion in con-
fnement how it was done. Day
before yesterday he wrote a letter,
and cried between the writing of the
same, and called for an envelope,
but did not send it. This may con.
tain a statement.
The %coroner's inquest is called for
O'Clock, when the body will be cut
down and the facts in the case in

A. q. u. w. Notes.

Brother T. Scherrer we are glad tc
note is again on the streets.
Evening Of February 1, a sociable il
A. O. U. w. hall, for brothers and theil
ladies. Hop onto the date.
Brother Lenny is still on committee
"NOt that I harbor a motive of self pre-.
ferment or vain ambition" said he, "bul
that l might more effectually labor with
others, and thereby become a NOR lati.
tudinous benefaction to my peerless co.
adjutors."
The A. o. U. w. will give a ball on
Washington's birthday as we remarked
previously. Committees will be ap.
pointed next week to attend to the pre-
liminaries and it promises to be an
event of unusual interest. Don't forget
the date.
This lodge has decided to give a So
ciable on the first Wednesday night OF
each month, the same being open only
to the brothers in good standing and
their ladies. 1t is a movement to be
commended as it will vastly enhance the
social feature of the order and bring the
brothers into a closer fraternal union.
Fifty seven likely young men and their
fair ladies ought to have a pretty good
time and the prospect remains that the
number of the men will be doubled in
the nea future by squads of access
ions to cOme. What will they do at the
sociables! Don't know. Just look at
each other / guess, at least until the
bashfulness wears off.

arranged in the form of a letter V, with

It was the wild goose expedition, which,
having summered in tho arctic, had
decided to winter in more temperate
chimes.
It is not to be supposed that they rea-
soned the question Of a change Of loca-
ton among themselves, consulted al

What Came of Printing an Interesting
Item About Spinsters.
Communications have lately been
pouring in in extraordinary numbers
upon the two youths who act respec-
lively as postmaster and postmaster's
clerk at the postcffice in Bristol. These
missives were from many lone bachelors
In the far west, desiring the postal Off.

the lines eagerly until their meaning so
grew upon him that he could stand it no
longer, but poured forth his desires for
a wife to comfort that loneliness to the
Bristol postmaster.
The Bristol postofice is a modest in
stitution, and was at first 80 embarrassed
by these appeals that it knew not what
to do, but finally, rejecting upon the
wretchedness of those lone western
bachelors, it's large heart so overfiowed
with sympathy that it bethought itself
Of taking the matter in hand. Upon
consideration 1t was decided to post the
letters in some place not conspicuous,
but where the searching eye of the Bris-
tol spinster would perchance light upon
them.
For some time after the posting of
these letters the Bristol maidens had
much need of stamps, etc, and dropped
in at the postofice for every mail. In
the course of a few weeks there was
such an increase in the western mail
coming to Bristol that an additional bag
had to be provided for its accommoda-
ton. At mail time a continuous line of
bashful spinsters from the street in
question was observed entering with ex-
pectant faces and issuing with either
bushes or with signs.
The residents of Bristol know not how
to account for the presence of such in
Vulnerable hosts of minated maidens,
unless it be that the buildings on the
street-in so many cases resembling,
with their porticoes and ~friezes. the Tenn
pie of Diana-have inspired in the fe-
male Bristol breast q desire to follow
the chaste goddess example, but soon
evidently this condition of affairs may
be ameliorated. -Philadelphia Record.

To Amend the Statutes,

A few months ago the town of Neihart
voted to bond the town for $4,000, for
the purpose of grading streets, purchas-
ing fire apparatus, etc. The bonds were
advertised, fioatcd and all but issued, as
several bids were received, when it was
found to our dismay that the statutes of
Montana require towns to have an asses
sed valuation of 100000 before being
able to issue bonds. The assessed yalua-
ton Of Ncihart is between 100000 and
100000; Sc it will consequently require
II n two years more under the present
law, before we hope to make our bonds
legal.
This discrepancy in the law is at once
met in the proper way. A monstrous
petition was sent to the Legislature, in
duplicate to each house, one copy going
to Senator Folsom and another to Re-
preventative Benson, who are asked to
give it their personal attention. The
petition was circulated by Alderman
McAssey and prays for an amendment to
the present law, whereby towns of $780,
900, assessed valuation may legally
issue bonds. This may result in an am
endment to the Statute or in the passage
of IN entirely new law, but in either
case Neihart can hope to get her just
demand and the probabilities are that in
sixty days our town will have the wad OF
$4,000 in her wallet and our citizens
will be happy.

squabble that has been conducted the
past year over a little patch of ground
