HIGHEST ON RECORD.
At Helena the Flood Has Established
New Mark.

HELENA, Ark, March 20-The river
has reached a point higher than was
ever known here, the guage tonight
reading forty-nine feet. which is eight
tenths above the highest water ever
recorded. The levee is swarming with
men of all classes, color and calling,
doing great battle against the mighty
river. This is the case from the Walk
er street levee, that protects the city
from the north, to old town and be-
low. Every shovel and spade is in use
and every sack. old and new. is being
placed where it will do the best serv-
ice. Dirt is being hauled from the
hills. some Of the higher streets are
being plowed up and the dirt there
from is being hauled to the levees and
hlled in sacks and wheeled to the lower
places in the leVee.
The old levee, that has done service
for many years in keeping the water
out of the northern suburbs of the city.
has at last been abandoned, but not
until council was held this morning
In that section of the city is located

large tWo-story residences and about
2O0 smaller residences and cabins, the
latter greatly predominating. After il
was decided to abandon the Ievee, the
water beginning to overflow the top in
several places, it was thought best to
cut II at point where the water
would gradually go in, so that the peo-
pie might have a chance to get out or
make more permanent arrangements
for a two weeks or more siege. and
also prevent rapid inflowing with the
damage attended thereby and also to
save the old levee. 1t was consequent
ly cut at the point where it comes to
the hills At this time that section is
under water from two to five feet.

The contract for furnishing OF conduits
and cables by which the Twin City Rapid
Transit company will carry the power to be
generated by the new dam in the Mississippi
has been let. The National Underground
Cable company, of New York. will furnish
the cables and the National Conduit Manu-
featuring company also of New York. will
furnish the conduits. For the past two weeks
the experts of the street railway and the
power company have been at work figuring
on the different bids which submitted.
First. explanations from the various bidders
were asked, and then the bids returned for
resubmissiou on a different basis. The ques-
ton Of a rubber or paper insulated cable
the main thing to consider, and about ten
days ago the electricians of the local COM
panies went to New York to investigate.
Their report made in favor Of the paper.
For several days past the manager of the
national companies. George j. Jackson, has
been in consultation with the local companies
and yesterday afternoon agreement was
reached.
The contract will call for about twenty-five
miles of conduit and like amount of cables.
The amount of money involved is in the

Was Rev. G. III. Wells Murdered.
Relatives of Rev. George H. Wells be-
lieve that he was murdered instead of meet
ing his death by accident or by his own voH-
ton. In support of their belief they point
to the fact that his satchel which he always
carried with him and in which he kept his
money and valuable papers is missing He
took 1t with him to the sanitarium. Another
point which makes the murder theory look
tenable is the extent of the bruises, the only
one being discoverabie upon his head near
the temple. Not bone broken and the
condition of the body was remarkable for one
which had been hit by a passing engine.
The men on the engine made no report or hit
ting any one.

LESS OF IDLE CASH RESERVE.
Large Loans I'm New York to swell
the Custom House Receipts.

NEW YORK, March 20.-The New
York Financier says: The statement of
the associated banks Of New York city
for the week ending March 20, shows
a marked reduction In reserve. the cash
holdings having decreased not less than
S., 1856, 900. The surplus reserve shows
a similar contraction, the loss for the
week 1864 SIT, bringing the excess cash
in the banks to $4S, 168, 1895. which is
over SO 00O, 900 less than was reported
three weeks ago. In this period loans
have increased about the same amount
while deposits are only $500. 900 heavier.
The loss of nearly Sc. 900,00 in cash dur
ing the last week is easily accounted
for. The banks paid about $6,000.00o to
the treasury on account of the custom
house Withdrawals of bonded goods,
and as this money involved a transfer
of funds out of bank, rather than the
opening of credits, which would swell
the deposits account, the loss was ac-
tual, and reduced the net cash hold
ings.
The movement which resulted in
these sudden payments into the GUS
tom house on the part of importers
has apparently run it's course. AS 1t
necessitated borrowing in nearly the
same amount as the payment Of du-
ties, a corresponding increase was look
ed for in the loan total, but the in
crease as shown by the statement, was
only $457. 800. The only inference. there
fore. is that there has been considera-
bic liquidation in other loans. Since
the LIST of March the loan expansion
has been $S.759, 600, but as S6.000.OOO at
least must have been added to this
sum last week. the contraction in other
outstanding loans appears plain. The
banks are still decreasing their circula-
tion. the reduction of 1888, 400 last week,
making a total contraction Of 81, 30S, 800

decline. but the necessity and adyisa-

After consulting with friends, and ma

withdraw from the contest for the attor-

friends that should become "a candidate

could render valuable service to the peo-
pie in that body. I, therefore, now an

Democratic convention. When became

of no other candidate in Southside Vir-

announced themselves, two being from

canvass, but many delegates already ap-
pointed have pledged me their support,
and am.sassured of many more yet to be
appointed. Some who have been hastily
claimed and counted for others, know
from the letters in my possession to be
for me; but have not taken the trouble
to correct those counts ] have now maize
choice of position, though, and it only re.
mains for me to extend my grateful
thanks to''all those friends who have SO
generously supported me, and being
member of the State committee, I hope to

and restoration to health. I am sure
this will not be construed as any indica-
