THE FLOODS.

The heavy rains of the last few days
and the melting of snow have caused
the Potomac, Kanawhs, Ohio and
other rivers to rise with great rapidity.
Floods prevail in parts of Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky
and Pennsylvania. Great damage to
property has been inflicted and num-
Der of persons have been drowned.
On the Potomac many small settle
ments have been entirely washed out
and in some cases lives were saved only
after heroic efforts by rescuing parties.
Trains scheduled to leave Washington
last night after II o'clock from the
Baltimore and Ohio station were de-
layod until an early hour this morn
ing, by orders received from Harper S
Ferry, where the river is within one foot
of the tracks. At Cumberland, where
Wills's Creek and the Potomac river
ioin, the water has risen far beyond the
danger point, and is rising at rate OF
more than foot an hour. All OF the
houses along the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, occupied by boatmen and their
families, have been rendered uninhab-
table by the water, and many have
been completely wrecked. Late last
night Baltimore and Ohio officials at
Camden station received information
that all traffic had ceased on the second
division of that road, from Brunswick, te
Cumberland, OF account of the alarm
ING rise of the Potomac.

CHARGED WITH THEFT-For several
weeks past rumor has been going the
rounds to the effect that certain letter
written by Mr.. VIM. B. Smoot to Ser
geant Smith, of the police force, init
mated that Constable VIM. Webster
could, for consideration, produce 3
gold watch which had been stolen from
Mr.. Harrie Smoot last September.
The circumstances of that case will be
remembered by the readers of the GA
zETTE. Two young men (Messrs. j. t.
Beckham, jr., and Ernest Travers) were
arrested charged with the theft. The
grand jury did not find q true bill
against Mr. Becsham and the case
against Mr. Travers was dismissed by
the Corporation Court. but recent
developments have increased the
talk about the letter, and City Ser
gcant William II. Smi h, under whom
Mr.. Webster serves as deputy,
in order to clear up the matter, last
night swore outs warrant charging Mr..
Webster with having the watch in bis
possession. The case came up at u
O'Clock AMI the first witness put on the
stand was Captain Herbert Bryant, who
testified to Sergeant Smith coming to
him with letter, written by Mr.. w.
3. Smoot, in regard to the watch stolen
from his brother, Mr.. Harrie Smoot, in
which a paragraph occurred stating
that prophesy uttered by Sergeant
Smith to the effect that Mr.. VIM. Web
ster had the watch seemed to be true.
Mr.. Noble Lindsey testified that Officer
Ferguson showed him the same letter.
Sergeant Smith admitted showing the
letter to Capt. Bryant. Mr.. w. b.
Smoot testified 10 writing the letter,
but in his intercourse with Mr.. Web
ster he gave no intimation that any
questionable proposition had been
made. Sergeant Smith, he said, told
him positively that Mr.. Webster had
the watch. Mr.. Harrie Smoot, the
loser OF the watch, testified to offering
500 reward for its recovery. Mr..
J. Taos Beckham, ;r, said the Sergeant
told him the watch was in the posses
sion OF Mr.. Webster. Several other
witnesses were examined, but there
was nothing whatever adduced to sub
stantiate the charge in the warrant, and
the accused was dismissed. The fact
was brought out in the evidence that
Sergeant Smith and Officer Ferguson
had carried in their pockets informa-
ton which should have been lodged wit h
the Mayor or Chief of Police; that that
information concerned felony; that
Sergeant Smith had shown the letter to
people who were not in authority and
had caused considerable criticism of the
authorities; that he had fomented an
unpleasant scene when the letter was
demanded by his chief, and was, in
short guilty of gross INSTRUMENTATION to
and contempt of the Mayor and the
Mayor suspended him for thirty days.
(This is the second time this charge has
been brought against the Sergeant
The same punishment was melted
out to Officer Ferguson, who had
also carried the letter in his pocket,
thereby manifesting contempt for his
superior officers. The Mayor has dep
utized Officer Chss. Goods to take the
sergeant's place during suspension. and
Officer Hall will be put in Mr.. Fergu-
sons place at the station house.
