The Mississippi Rising.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 23.-The Missis-
sippi river, from Cairo to New Orleans, is
rising rapidly, and there is enough water
in sight to send it above the danger line
from Cairo to Vicksburg. The water rose a
foot here to-day and in four days it will
probably be above the danger line At Cairo
the danger line has been passed, with a
further heavy flood coming down the Ohio,
Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. Two
crevasses in the levees in the Mississippi
delta are not yet completed and 1t will
not be possible to fill them within ten days.
The situation is regarded as extremely
grave, and unless there is general freeze
throughout the Mississippi and Ohio val
lays repetition of last years flood is
looked for, although the damage will not
be so great, owing to the fact of its be-
ing early in the year and the water will
probably subside before time for planting.

LOVE AND TRAGEDY.
EIOpement and Feud That Resulted i'm
Damage Suit for $4,000.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind, jan 23.-The damage
suit of Mrs. Wal Riley against Thomas AL
len comes up for trial tomorrow. The suit
grows out of tragedy, in which Allen shot
and killed Mrs. Riley's husband The men
We're rival stock buyers, and their business
relations with each other were of such a
character as to cause considerable enmity.
This enmity was not shared, however, by
Harry, the son of Thomas Allen and Miss
Jessie, the daughter of Riley. The two
young people formed an attachment for
each other. The parents sought to prevent
them keeping company and did all they
could to estrapge them The young people
finally took matters in their own hands,
and on May 30 1886, they eloped and were
married. The elopement angered the old
folks, and when Wal Riley and Thomas AL
len met the next morning at the entrance
to the postoffice, both drew revolvers and
fought duel across the sidewalk, with the
result that Riley fell with mortal wound
in his head, and Aliens little son received
a bullet in his leg. Allen was arrested. The
exonerated Allen of all blame i'm the matter,
1t being shown that Riley was the agrees
sor. In August OF last year Mrs. Riley
brought suit against Allen for $4,000. alleg-
ing that she had been damaged that much
by the killing of her husband. The trial
which begins tomorrow is attracting more
attention than any that has occurred here
for many years A large number of wit
nesSes have been subpoened for both sides.

and took pleasure in saying that he had
never carried a better behaved set of men.
Troop II of the Sixth Cavalry and Com
pany f of the Eighth Infantry constituted
the headquarters guard and accompanied
Gen. Brooke throughout his campaign.
Capt Scott of Troop II was asked as to
his experience in the island, both as to
the service and his impressions of the
country.
1.-THE service was not hard" said Capt.
Scott, but the climate is very trying. A
more beautiful country 1 have never seen.
1 do not know of anything anywhere to
equal it. 1t is exceedingly fertile and the
whole country is a perfect garden. But it
lacks that one important thing, an endur-
able climate. 1t is not that the weather
is so hot, but that there is so little Varia-
ton. The thermometer ranges between 70
degrees and 80 degrees. When il gets as
low as 70 degrees it is considered cold and
people wrap up in their eloaks. 1 do not
consider it a very desirable coun-
try for would-be colonists. The
country is very thickly populated, much
more so than any portion of this country.
The people have absolutely no idea what
ever of sanitation and this adds to the
sickness Of the climate. All the streams
are polluted by cities and large towns on
their banks, and there is no water tit
to drink but that winch comes uOWfl from
heaven, except when boiled. To drink
water without boiling is to court sickness.
The masses of the people are very filthy in
their habits, and evidently of a very low
grade of civilization. They are tractable.
however, and easily controlled. The cities
are very filthy and without modern SAM
tation. In fact, the only good thing that
/ found in Porto Rico, outside the work
of nature was the roads. They are
splendid"
The two cavalry troops and the COM
pany of infantry found orders awaiting
them TO proceed to Huntsville, Ala. Trans
portation arrangements had already been
made for them by the quartermaster, anc
they left last night. This was hard on
the cavalry horses, which have been on
their feet for the last five or six days,
without a chance to lie down, and were
very much in need of a change and rest.
Their wants had not been taken into con-
sideration, however.
The four artillery batteries will go into
camp at lie Paigevlle, where the Second
Artillery is now encamped. 1t is under
stood that the light batteries will be sent
to Cuba within the next few weeks.

day that he had received no orders Or
