RISING WATERS.
Great Rainfall of Friday Brings the
Rivers up With Jump.

Great Rainfall of Friday Brings the
Rivers up with n Jump.
The rainstorms which passed oyer
this section Friday beginning early in
the morning, were the most terrific for
this season of the year in the memory
of the ''oldest inhabitant." The rain
fell in torrents and in few minutes
every rayine, creek and run was bank
full and overhowing. Both rivers rose
rapidly OF the average rate of one foot
an hour and early in the day began to
cause apprehension among business
men and residents in the lower part of
the city.
The c. & M. and r. & o. G. T.. rail-
ways were both flooded and had trains
delayed by the muddy overflow from
Duck and Federal Creeks and the u. &
o. lost part of trestle at Shawnee
Junction. The Ohio River road again
suffered east of here and trains were
delayed many hours.
At Tunnel station, on the 7. &c o. c.
E., the aqueduct carrying stream
across the mouth of the tunnel, broke
with the great weight of water and
flooded the tunnel to the depth of six
feet. The heavy timbers of the aque-
duct were driven entirely through the
tunnel by the terrific rush of water.
The B. & o. east of Parkers burg also
suffered damage and trains are not yet
| hi 10 ~
eral pump stations OF the Buckeye Pipe
Line Co. are under water and temp
orarily abandoned.
At seven o'clock Friday night large
crowd was at the foot of Front street
watching the steadily rising. waters.
The river at that time was above the
25-foot mark and still creeping up at
the rate of foot an hour. At Wheel.
ing the river was '2S feet and rising
and all indications pointed to a 80 or 40
foot stage here.
The habit of the Muskingum rises
usually holding up for two or three
days, was the chief cause of uneasiness
but the latest from GAINESVILLE was tc
the effect that the stream at that point
was stationary.
At midnight the marks showed 3,
feet even and rising very slowly
crawling up at the rate of not oyel
three inches an hour This indicate
that the top notch has been almos
reached and the danger of an overflow
ou Front street is not eyen n remote
possibility.

Just WHAT'S Needed

Exclaims thousands of people who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this sea-
son of the year, and who have noted
the success OF the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks
distant 1t is then that the building
up powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
fully appreciated. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustaius
the system, IL purlfies and vitalizes the
blood.

Dearness Not the Goal.

The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices" The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
sirable things were produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
that condition-that is to say, every
cheapening of the necessaries of life-ia
a great gain for everybody. On the
other hand, every increase in the price
of the necessaries of life is direct AMI
grievous hurt to the people.

Side lad who is a yerita BILE water
nymph of the male persuasion.
Some chums on the bridge bantered
the boy to jump into the river from the
bridge, and he said he would do it for
chew of tobacco. The chew was
granted, and in he went, and swan to
shore like a duck. Coming back onto
the bridge, he was being wrung out by
the boys He concluded he wanted to
plunge again, and said he would do il
again for bottle of beer. The dime

CARROLL SAYS AYcocK DID II
He is in Durham Trying to Explain His
Prosecutions.

Durham, N. c., Feb. -(Speeial.) -
%. j. Carroll is here. He held meeting
tonight in Hotel Carolina. Jas.
Robinson, of the Sun, Frank Madry,
of the Herald, and X. III. Cowan, of the
Globe, representing feeced witnesses,
and ID. W. Whitaker, commissioner,
were present. The object of Dir. Car
rolls visit WAS to explain TO these
gentlemen that q. B. Aycock was re-
sponsible for the frivolous and MALI
cious prosecutions, and not himself.
Carroll talked loud and long until the
waiter In the hotel notified him that
he would lose his supper and that was
the only thing that broke up the
harangue.
Whether he succeeded in convincing
the crowd that Chas B. Aycock, who is
so well loved in North Carolina, is q
party to these tranactions remains to
be seen. Durham citizenship says at
least give them rest from the court

EXPRESS ROBBERY TRIAL.
BOTH THE DEFENDANTS HAVE
PROVED AN ALIBI.
But the State VIII To-day Introduce
Evidence to Contradict.
Them

Clinton, n. G., Feb. - (speciaD
The first witness introduced in the
express robbery trial to-day was Dr.
Cooper, one of the defendants.
He testified that he knew nothing of
the robbery and never had any conyer-
sation with Grier about it. Said he left
Roseboro on the night of the robbery
about 9 o'clock, having been sent for by
his wife, who was i'll. He sat up with
his wife and Will Seasons, who was
also sick at his home all night. He
was sent for to visit Mrs. Grier about
o'clock that night, but did not go
until after day. Mrs. Grier was suffer-
ing from a nervous attack.
Mrs. Cooper testified as TO her sick
ness, and that DR.. Cooper was in at
tendance upon her all night, after 10
o'clock, not being absent from the
room at any time for more than half
an hour. She further testified that
Isaac Goodrich came about 10 o'clock
and remained until day.
Goodrich corroboraed this statement
saying that he saw DIR. Cooper at home
every ten minutes during the night.
Rev. Mr.. Parker, Methodist preach
er, testified to Grier's bad character,
saying that he had slandered his (Par-
ker's) wife's siser; that Grier was re-
puted to have stolen twenty sacks Of
flour from a. T.. Underwood, a mer-
chant near Roseboro, and fifty dollars
from an express package sent to Il. A..
Crumpler.
Grier on yesterday refused to answer
when questioned on this last matter
VIII Seasons corr6borated DR.. Coop
er's evidence as to his being treated all
the night of the robbery by DIR. Coop
er at the latter's home, and saw him
every ten minutes during the night
A number of witnesses testified that
the character of Grier was bad.
The State attacked the character Of
Seasons, who was asked if he did not
confess, while expecting to die Of pneu-
monia last winter, that he murdered
a negro woman near Roseboro three
years ago. He denied that he had made
such n confession.
The written statements made by
Cooper and Butler to detective Pearce
prior 10 their arrest, were introduced
as evidence. Cooper said that his
statement had been tampered with,
and further that he had signed it at
the time it was made without reading
it.
The State viii. tomorrow, under
take 10 contradict the evidence of Ses-
SONS aud Goodrich by whom Cooper
proves an aiibi. Butler has established
the fact that he spent the night of the
robbery in Fayetteville. The State
viii contend that this was part OF the
conspiracy.
II is probable that the evidence will
be concluded tomorrow,

sary to reach q choice in each case.
Mr.. Shaw was placed in nomination
by Senator Squire and the nomination
was warmly seconded by Senator Du-
bois. The nomination of Mr.. Grant
was made by Senator Pritchard in u
