MEMPHIS. Tenn, March 17.-The river
Is slowly falling today, the gauge register
ing 39.4 feet against 1877 last night. The
break in the levee near Hollybury, twenty

calculable damage will be done. No other
breaks have been reported.

more serious In the northern part of the
city hundreds Of families have left their
homes for high ground and every industry
is shut down and street car service aban-
doned. In South Memphis the water is
threatening all railroad tracks. and hun
dreds of laborers are working there. ,
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad
is the worst sufferer from the flood, its
tracks being partly under water for miles,
The Illinois Central has experienced some
difficulty at Auction street, but the tracks
have been ''cribbed'' and their trains are
moving as usual
Many appeals for help are coming in from
flood sufferers and the Sunshine Society Of
this city has established refuge camp here.

AUGUST DONATE HoNoRED.
Action Taken by Columbia Typo
graphical Union.

By unanimous rising vite Of Column
bit Typographical Union the name of Mr..
August Donath has been placed on the
honorary roll of that organization as a
recognition of his great services in behalf
of Columbia Union. This action was taken
at meeting Of the union held Sunday last,
and Mr.. Donath was Immediately notified
of the honor conferred upon him. Mr.
August Donath became a member Of CO.
lumbia Union Immediately after his dis
charge from the army in 1868. He at once
took a prominent part in the affairs OF
the union and was elected a delegate to the
International Typographical Union in 1875.
In 1877 he quit working at his trade, and
four years later became the editor and
proprietor of a newspaper in Pennsylvania,
and has been connected with the newspaper
business in Pennsylvania ever since Al
though proprietor and employer of labor,
he was made q member of the board of
trustees of the International Typographical
Union in 1880, and held office for six years,
being associated with the late Amos Cum
mings and several other prominent men,
bers of the printing trade during this time.
Mr.. Donath has several times had oppor-
tunity to publicly espouse the cause of
pnionism, and he has always been first
to come forword and offer his services when
the cause was in any danger needed as
sistance. The action of Columbia Typo
graphical Union is regarded as particularly
fitting, as it discharges a debt of gratitude
1t has owed Mr.. Donath many years.
