The river is now clear of ice as far

QUINCY, ILL.,, March 22.--The flood
waters from the north have now
reached this point and this section of
the Mississippi is booming. The river
is out of its banks and the low lands
which are not protected by levees are
being inundated and crops damaged.
The losses are slight, but the vast
volume of water above that is vet to

List OF the Lines Being Projected Expected
to Exceed Any In Recent Years.
CHICAGO, March 2l.-The Railway
Age presents u list of new railway
lines which are either under construc-
tion or are projected with some rea-
sonable prospect of being built. OF
course this list does not include all the
lines which are talked of. for there are
tens of thousands of additional miles
laid out on paper and in various
stages of agitation and advertisement.
The list includes 800 different lines
in 40 states, aggregating in all 17,5l1
miles. If 20 per cent. of this total is
actually built this year, it will mean
nearly as much new construction in
1897 as has been completed in the last
two wears combined.

Ifa Wife Utters a Slander, Must Husband
Pay the Damages?


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 23.-The
question as to whether or not Il hus-
band is liable for ISLANDERS uttered by
his wife without his knowledge or con-
sent was appealed to the Kansas City
court of appeals for settlement, but
that tribunal could not agree in the
matter and referred it to the supreme
court of the state. The question
arose in the suit of Amanda c. Tavlor
against Gilbert Pullen and his wife,
Rebecca. Pullen is II farmer in Holt
county and Amanda Taylor was a
domestic in his home. Mrs. Pullcn, it
is claimed, talked scandalously about
Miss Taylor, and she sued Mr.. Pullcn
for damages. The trial caused quite
sensation in Holt county. The court
of that county held that although Mr.
Pullen did not know of his wifc's al
legged Slanderous utterances he was
liable for them, because she WIS his
wife. and Judgment was renoercd
against him. He appealed to the Kan
sas City court of appeals, with the re-
suit above noted.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 23.-Last
night for the first time in many weeks
the Mississippi river was reported fall
ing here. Several breaks in the levee are
known to have occurred between
Osceola. Ark, and Memphis, and the
fall of the river here is attributed to
these crevaSScS. The break at Sans
Souci is widening. and the mad rush of
the waters through the opening can be
heard for miles. Three additional
breaks, all near Sans Souci, were re-
ported yesterday. and the suffering of
the people in eastern Arkansas will
surely be greatly intensified.
Over in Arkansas the town of Marion
is in Il bad condition. All the houses
