HIGH WATER UNPRECEDENTED.
Damage Done to Railroad Lines is
 Very Serious,

Chattanooga. Tenn. Feb, 2s.-Reports at the operating office of the western dis trict of the Southern Railway here indi- cate that the high water on the rivers in East Tennessee and Central and South ern Georgia Is unprecedented and that the damage to the lines of the railroad In those sections is very serious, due largely to slides and washouts. The heavy rain of Thursday on top of the accumulated snow on the Asheville watershed accounts for the trouble.
 Between Ashevile and Morristown, the report states, the rainfall was greater than has ever been known. This after noon the wires were still down between those points and water was feet over the tracks between Leadvale and Rankin on the Knoxville division. Irish Cut, east of Newport, has fallen in, and the French Broad River was reported this morning as being higher than has ever been known before. East of Rollins a train was derailed and two engines disabled.

SITUATION AT COLUMBUS, GA.
The Chattahoochee River is Still
 Rising.

6k18ln8.
 Columbus, Ga, Feb. 2.-The Chatta- hoochee River at this point Is still raging but the rise is now very slow. It has overfowed its banks in many places in the city and the water Is up in the yards of residences and in the floors of work ships. In the stock and handle factory of the Southern Flow Company's plant the water is fully a foot deep. The Muscogee Ice Works are completely sur rounded. Both these have suspended operations Another foot rise will put the water in the shops of the Columbus Iron Works.
 The Seaboard Air Line track on Bay Street has been undermined by the waters and a great portion of it has caved In. The warehouses on Bay Street have erected breakvaters to their doors and battered them down firmly to keep out the water.
 Constant fear Is entertained of the lower wagon bridge which Is the only one left across to Alabama. At Il o'clock to- night the water is within few inches of the flooring and its safety Is ques- tionable. If the river should happen to take jump up tonight which Is generally expected, it is doubtful if morning will find the bridge there. It is wooden structure planked upon the sides ana covered over the top with shingles and it's destruction would mean the loss of the Mobile and Girard Railroad bridge just half a block below. The railroad authorities keep their bridge weighted down with cars of coal across the entire length.
 Reports from the vicinity around say all the bridges on the creeks are washed away. Every bridge on Bull Creek in the county Is either gone or damaged. The Mobile and Girard Railroad track IS under water to a depth of three or four feet on the Biekerstaff place six miles below here for a distance of nearly mile.
 The first train over the Seaboard AIT Line in two days arrived at lo O'CLOCK tonight.
 The submerged main of the water coun- many refused to work and the pumps from the river were put on. Under this arrangement the city is as well protected from fire as al any time. In an inter- view today the President of the Column bus Insurance Exchange said that the system and pressure had been examined and pronounced perfectly satisfactory.

pany came on here from the east and began an investigation of his affairs in relation to the company. In the meantime the directors had ceased to honor his drafts and he had be- come heavily involved. A warrant at one time was sworn. out for his ar rest at Naco for getting money under false pretenses. Oficcr Charles Over lock was wired to arrest him. He owed one man from the east $1,500, which he had gotten from him on cer- tain pretexts. He finally got rid of this creditor by giving him enough money for railroad fare home and notes for the remainder.
 When the men whom he represent ed came from the east they found that he had used less than two thou sand dollars for actual expenses in developing the mines-the remainder was unaccounted for. In one par ticular instance they sent him twelve hundred dollars for the June pay roll, and when they arrived they found that the pay roll was yet unpaid. When asked about this he said the money had been used to buy supplies. and upon examination it was found that he had bought but $175 worth of supplies. As a result he was re- lieved of the management of the com panu without anything and seriously in volved: The offers were guarding him so closely in Douglas that he could not get over the line into Mex 10; his creditors were numerous and demanded that he remain in the United States. He came to Douglas a week ago Saturday, leaving his wife at the Corona mine in Mexico She came in Monday and when they went to their room at the hotel they had trouble. She protested against his actions and tried to persuade him to straighten up and attend to business.

THE SUICIDE
 AT DOUGLAS
PARTICULARS OF FRANK p. KEEL.

Kills Himself in Cowboys Saloon on Sixth Street in the Midst of Wine, Women, Cards and Debt

SN"'o f'HhoSu tU So"Eoy SaiooH Of
 Sixth Street in the Midst of Wine,
 Women, Cards and Debt
 The special to the Review which announced that Frank P. Kelly had shot and killed himself Monday night gave meagre details of the real sit nation. Frank F. Kelly was we'll known in this vicinity and his sensa. tional death has awakened general in terest among his acquaintances.
 The Review at once became in pos session of the material facts whicf. led up to and eliminated in his tragic death and at an early hour yesterday interviewed an eyewitness to the tragedy
 Kelly killed himself in the wine room of the Cowboys Home saloon in the presence of his wife, a woman employed in the house and others.
 When Kelly came into the wine room," said the eye witness, he seemed excited and when he was spoken to by one of the women he said Be careful, here comes my wife His wife followed closely be hind, the door being opened for her by Dr. Randall, who closed the door after her. Don't be afraid said his wife to one of the women. I will never harm you, repeating this sev eral times. He ordered the drinks and those present sat down about the table.
 Trouble arose between himself an l wife at this time, when he suddenly drew out his six shooter, placed it to his right temple and fired. Every one rushed out of the room into the saloon and when we went back Kelly had both his elbows resting on the table. his head bent forward. being dead in that position He remained in this position until the coroner's in. quest was held.
 His half distracted wife accused one of the women of being the cause of the trouble, but the woman declar. ed she had attempted to drive him home the night before His wife had followed him down there to get him to go home with her.
 Ever since Frank P Kelly came to this county he has been in trouble oi some kind and gambling and women were the causes. He was a telegraph operator by profession and came tt Naco, where he was employed in this capacity for some time.
 For months past he was the manager of the Corona mining property in So nora, Mexico, some fifty miles below Douglas. He had interested severa capitalists in this proposition, O whom R. F. Hudson was one. Thi company gave him $s,000 to work thu property with and the first thing h. did was to charter . car from Nev York to Chicago to carry him.
