The Water IL Failing Both Here ana
Mt Points Up the River.

The turbulent James Is subsiding. and
It's waters will probably be clear enough
by Easter Monday to enable the silver
perch and the wary muliet TO see the bait
which the small boy will cast In the
hope Of landing some OF the finny tribe.
The fathers of the incorrigibie urchlns
on lower Main street In the vicinity OF
the Old Market were just beginning 10
think that their hopefus would be en-
abled TO angle on Good Friday from the
trent windows OF the parental residence,
bu; happily the waters began 10 fall yes
terday, and the lads will now have to
bctake themselves TO the banks OF the
James TO enjoy the sport.
Reports from stations along the James
River Division Of the Chesapeake and
OHIO were to the effect that the river is
falling. kilograms received at i. M.
Yesterday from Scotisviile and Columbia
stated that the water stood eleven rect
above the high-water mark at the former
point. and seventeen at the latter, ana
was falling at both places.
At Mayo's Island here the water was
nine and half feet above high-water
mark and falling. The wharves OF the
CLYDE Steamship Line were three feet
under water, while the lower landing
Mace of the Old Dominion was three
inches under water The regular New
York steamer of the latter line had to
leave at 2 o'clock instead OF 5, the usual
sailing time. on "ccount Of the high
waters. Neither line anticipates any
further trouble. however. from the
freshet. as the waters were slowly falling
last night.
The rains were very general through
out the whole State.

Beginning yesterday the Southern Pacific

as printed at length in The Post some
time ago. Every railroad in the country
does not do this, and the move is alto
Gcther In the nature of an experiment
with the Southern Pacific. Heretofore when
any violation of orders was reported or
any other oilense committed deserving
srch treatment, the man was laid OFF for
ten, fifteen or twenty days, but under the
new system he will be given that many
Black marks on his balance book, which
marks can be eradicated and settled up
only by extra good conduct thereafter.
his scheme is said to be an inducemtul
TO the railroad employees. as there are no
lay-ofs, and wages are ever lost, be-
sides more of an opportunity being given
them for making up bad records by scoring
better ones.
