THE RAQIN'Q KIVEHS.

CiscrxN-ATi, Feb. 88.— At 9 o'clock last night the steady rain which had boon falling all day ceased. Tlioso living in the lower portions of the oity are watching the sky with some anxiety. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern and the IJoo Lino have their tracks near the stock yards covered with water to the depth of three or four feet. Reports say that the weatlior is cloudy and warm at Oil City and 1'ittsburgh, I'a., Wheeling, W. Va„ and Torre Haute, Ind., while at Indianapolis the rain is heavy. It Is also raining Qat Louisville. A number of ap* proaches to the Central depot here have been blocked by the water, but the roads affected havo erected temporary depots which the water can not reach.

Alleghany and Monongahela river points, at the Hource of the Ohio, report the waters either stationery or falling, but also state that the weather is cloudy and warm. Light rain was reportod at 0 o'olock in the evening as far up ho Ohio as the mouth of the Kanawha. The Ohio river down to Point Pleasant, at tho mouth of the Kanawha, is said to be stationery or rising very slowly. At all places below Point Pleasant it was reported rising from one to one and a half inohes -^jor hour. It has been rising hero steadily and at 10 o'clock last night it was flftyflve feet and one and one-half inches high.

The storm reported contral about Nashville, Tonn., at 11 o'clock Is causing gravo apprehensions among mon who havo property and business interests In tho lowlands of the city. If the precipitation In the next twenty-four hours should be as groat in the Ohio valley as it has been at Memphis and Nashville it will doubtless causo a great flood. In that case tho river would bo at its maximum about Tuesday or Wednesday next woek. The situation has a dangerous look.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Fob. 28.—The Ohio river has reached a flood stage, and one of the elevated-road stations on the city front has been cut off. A scare was started and a number of families living in districts which were submerged In 1883 moved out, but there Is little fear of a doluge. Tho rivor is still rising about an inch an hour.

C. A. Wooster, who has just returned from Middloborough and intermediate points, says that tho Cumberland is higher than it has ever been. There have boon land-slides, where great trees and immense bodies of earth have fallen and big tracts of oountry submerged. At Dillon switch, below Livingston, notlring but tho top of a saw-mill Is to be seen above tho water, and at Livingston tho situation Is serious. At Middleborough the oleotrio-light plant had been rendered useless, tho streots were submorgod and tho canal was out of sight.

The floods havo orippled tho railways to a considerable extent. On the Knoxville branch the delays havo been from eight to thirty-six hours. The news from the mountain soctlon is that landslides and washouts have been numerous a fid extraordinarily troublesome. Mails in that region have beon practically discontinued. The telegraph wires are down in many plaoes.

FINDLAY, O., Fob. 28.—The railroad bridge across the Blanchard river on the American Midland railway west of this city was swept away by the high waters Thursday aftornoon. Tho bridge was found to bo unsafe in the morning, and an enjfino was placed on tho structure to hold It down, but a mile or more of drift struck the piers with such foroo that tho bridge wont down, carrying tho engine with it. Tho loss will reach thousands of dollars, and it will bo at least tun days before the structure can be rebuilt so that trains may cross.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. is.—Tho unusual rain-fall over the ontire watershed of tbe Mississippi and Ohio rivers and their tributaries since Saturday last portends evil to tho low-land country In the Yazoo delta and tho Tensas basins. Along tho Yazoo from below Greenville, It Is stated, tho levoes will stand against an additional riso of three feet. It is probable that their strength will bo tested beforo long. Tho worst Is feared lor tho newly constructed levees along the Tensas basin, .specially those near and above Lake l'rovlnoo and across the foothills of Chicot County, Arlc. Major Sterling, engineer for the lower Mississippi levoe districts, anticipates that tho levoes in Arkansas will give way and relieve tho pressure on the Mississippi sldo. The outlook in tho section through which the White and Arkansas rivers pass Is not encouraging. Bath stroams are rising fast, and people living along their banks havo taken advantage of the timely notice sent out by tho signal service and moved their stock to places of safety.

MEMPHIS, Tenn,, Fob. 28.—At5o'clock Wednesday aftornoon a heavy wind and rain-storm struck Torrance, Miss., doing an immenso amount of damago. The front of L. L. Jones & Sons' store was torn away, and Van Hoser's dry-goods store was wrecked and blown across the railroad. Fences and barns were loveled to the ground. Heavy rain is still falling and tbe streets uro flooded.

CHARLESTON, W. Va., Feb. 28.—A land-slide occurred near Qulnlnmont, 100 miles east of here on the Chesapeake & Ohio railway, at 4 o'olock Thursday morning, covering tho traok for 100 yards. A freight train of oighteen loaded cars ran into the slide a few minutes later and nearly all the cars wero wreoked.

PKESCOTT, A. T., Feb. 28.—Tho flrst survivors of the flood to arrive horo oame Into toWn Thursday aftornoon. They were John Hardee, Eld Davis and W. M. Russell, and they related a thrilling story. Haraea gavo his experience as follows: "I was camped SSar Barron creok with three others. Some tjDie alter midnight I was awakened by a deafening roar. I Jumped out of bed and yelled to the others: -The dam hat broken got up and run for your lives.1 Un-

VJr my pillow were my pants with about KOO In tho pookets, and my vest containing two fine ^old watches, but I had no time to stop for these valuables. The flrst person I saw after I had escaped the fury of the flood was Tom Boon, who had his little sister In his arms, having curried her from their tenv Mrs. Boon came up soon afterward and said that her husband had been lost. He had beon the llrst to hoar the oomlng waters and had awakened the others. The boy rushed out, and seeing his little slstor grabbed her In his arms anil ran, his mother following. Mr. Boon, not knowing that the girl was safe. Went around tho tent to look for her Instead of running away."

Tho list of dead will probably reach sixty-five or seventy. FIP.ItCK BUZZARDS PREVAIL.

KANSAS Orrr, Mo., Feb. 28.—Dispatches from Missouri and Kansas state that a blizzard from tho northwest prevailed Thursday. Tho blizzard was preceded late Wednesday night by a storm, during "whioh snow fell to the depth of three or four Inches, covering the winter whoat and sheltering It from the severe cold. About 10 a. m. the blizzard set In. The wind blew with great velocity and the thermometer fell to zero.

ESCAPED CRONIN'S FATE. Dr. Nell, of Columbus, O., Attacked by mm Unknown AIMNIII.

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 98.—About 11 o'olock Thursday night an attempt was made to assassinate Dr. Alexander Nell, one of the leading physicians of this city. An unknown man oalled at the doctor's residenoe and rang the bell. Tho doctor, suffering from influenza, west to t£e door and asked what wk'j wc ntod. The Ban said ho wanted tbe doctor te go and attend to his sick wife. The doctor said he was too 111 to go out but would fix him some powders. He did so and opened the door a few inohes to hand them out when the man burst into the hall, ad plaolng a revolver against the doctor's head said: "I'll kill you," at the same time pulling the trigger. The weapon missed fire and tbe doctor immediately grabbed the man. After a desperate struggle the dootor succeeded In taking the revolver away from the assaaln, who ran out. Tho family, with the dootor, then wont up-stalrs and directly the man came back and smashod in several windows with stones, Thedoctor'sdaughter ran to tbe tolophone and oalled up police headquarters. A patrol wagon was sont to the residence and a guard placed at the house. It Is thought to be a bold attempt at assassination or to murder the dootor for money. The object was to get the doc cor out on an errand of mercy, like Dr. Cronln's case, when the unknown man, with othor confederates near and In hiding, would pounoe on and kill him.

Ho believed that ho had carried the First district of West Virginia by moans as fair, as honorable and as upright as had ever bocn used In any election In tho history of the country. He viewed the' evidence in detail, controverting tho statements made by the supporters of tho majority report, and In conclusion reiterated his declaration that ho had boon fairly and honestly electiod.

THE INAUGURATION AT DES MOINES.

The Npectacular Features Marred by I)lnagreeable Weatlior—A Synopsis of the Inaugural Address of «overnor Holes..

BIS VIEWS ON LEADING TOPICS. DES MOINES, la., Feb. 28.—Tbe disagreeable weather of yesterday rendered the spectacular features of the Inauguration of Uovernor Boies a partial failure. It snowed all Wednesday night and until noon yesterday, when it became very cold, a stinging blast sotting in from tho northeast. Notwithstanding all this, thousands of shivering people gathered on the streets and waited for the procession to move. When the march began It was agreed on all hands that tho spoctaclo was very lino under Dke circumstances.

Within the House chambor tho oxorolses proceeded according to program mo. The Gubernatorial party entered tho hall botwoen the Clitoago club on tho one side and the militia on the other. As the distinguished pooplo entered a large velvet flag boaring tho new Governors portrait was flung out from tho gallery above the spoaker's desk. Lieu-tenant-Governor Hull thon Introduced Rev. H. O. Breoden, who offered an Impressive prayer. Chief-Justice Rothrook administered the oath of oflloe to Governor Boies and Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Poyneer, and tbe Chicago band played "Hall to the Chief." The now Governor then arose and read his message, many portions of which were greeted with emphatic applause. A synopsis is as follows:

Ooveruor Boloa says ho docs not regard bis eleotion as a purely i-artlsan victory. It was due. to the united action of men of different political partlus, and he assumes his duties consolous of the fact that the people havo a right to a broad and liberal administration of tho State's affairs.

Ho urges upon the members of the Legislature thn Importance of enacting wise laws rather than numerous statutes, and says that upon their wisdom and sagacity depends the welfare of those for whom they legislate.

Among the most Important of publle questions Is that of ballot reform. No duty ia more

Rlain

than that which demands of the legisktlve department of every government the enaotment of laws which shall to tho utmost limit of utility Burround the ballot-box with safeguards that will banish from all eleotlons the oorrupt use of money and secure to the State the unbiased Judgment of each elector. Thin can be most oneotually aooompllahed through itatutes which compel tho deposit of a.secret ballot, the contents of which can never be made known excopt him who deposits it.

With regard to the transportation problem. Governor Boies says that prior-to the adoption of. the present laws rates the shipper was at thi way oomganfes. Their mcsagors abused tholr

undertook to conduct business upon ia basis that would return dividends on these Imaginary investments. To aooomplish this Individual and public rights alike were often sacrificed, and odious discrimination was repeatedly practicod. The situation compelled the people In self-defenso to adopt a systom idlt

no wrong to tho railway Interests of Ae State! but only demand that their own interests Bhull be fairly treated. He continues: "It is greater facilities for transportation that Iowa most needs. She should help hasten the day when the waters of our great lakes will be turned from their course and made to mingle with those of the mighty rivers tiat clasp her in their giant arms. Already, in the very lhfanoy of Its existence, this seotloa surpasses all others of equal extent in the magnltuqo of its surplus food productions. 'Deprived of reasonable ratos of transports Mon they are of little value to thoTe whose capital and labor produoe them, add without them tbe oommerce of this Nation would be largely orlpplod and many of Its greAt oltles oease to expand, if they did not dwlndlo into decay. Who shall grasp this dlffloult problem and solve it in tho interest of all our peo* Diet It will be the mon who set this Nation to work to oomplote the oonneotlng link of A mighty waterway that shall out a oontlnent I11 twain and opon the cheapest of all methods ef transportation from the gulf to the sea."

On the subject of redlstrlotlag the State tho uovernor says that the present apportionment Is manifestly unfair in that it gives to one person in one part of the State the same* representation in the Legislature that is aocordod to four In other localities, and the difference is even greater than this in some districts. Tho present ratio of representation must be aboland the Legislature ne_w one and redistTlot the State.

MtJ

Ignored, dlsregardei large oltles of the I MrtJt to the present time,

The Governor thinks little can be done in the way of legislation to improve the condition ef the common school system, but if the higher iistitutions of learning are mads to oompare favorably with those of other States larger sums ofmoney must be oontrlbuted for their support. With regard to the law regulating the praotlae of pharmacy the Governor says that oomplalnts from men engaged In the business are In some particulars well founded. Every section of the law regulating the sale of Intoxicating liquors for medicinal purposes Is framed upon the theory that these men as a olass are unworthy the oonfldcnce of their neighbors, and they are subieoted to legal reStrutlons'unknown to- any other trade. sad uaneo^ssarlly humiliating. The State owes it to herself sad to those of her citizens who are required to handle alooholle stimulants for neoessary purposes to put this business upon a reputable basis before the law or abolish

sverv one who has taken the pains tp iself that In any of the cities, oonthey do a large fraction of Uw popiiotoftl

known to eve: lofonp him talning est lation, the only effootorthe law has been to relieve the trafflo in these liquors from legal restraint of every kind.

The ohlef ebstaole to the enforcement of this tow flee ln tbe fact that in and at Itself it is a Cruel violation of one_of tbe most valued of human righta. By that aot Iowi stands convicted of first making the MMOess of-the brewer and wine-maker legal. At watching without warning the expansion ef their business within her bolder* until millions upon millions of the espltal of her ettiteas had been invested therein, and. then eoldljr Wiping it out without one effort to compensate those whowero roiaed.thenby.

The question Is have we statesmsi j! this side* of this controversy that oan impartially eonsldsr the neoesslty at the situation If w^ have they will find a middle ground between the extremes of opinion op this subject. They will leave to every looallty in Iowa that desires it the present prohibitory law or its equivalent. They will foroe It upon no oity er (own where publlo sentiment rejects It.

The most weighty reason for a radloal change In Iowa's prohibitory laws Is that tho people af. tbe polls have passed Judgment upon thorn. have not undertaken to deprive any lty In tho State where public sentiment upholds It of our present prohibitory lew or Its —lie"

ey have not undertaken in tho State where equivalent. Thoy have simp declared each oity, town an'd township Xyu have the light to detormtne for Itself whether it will be governed by prohibitory laws or by a csrefullyguarded license law, the minimum tee for which Shall be 1900, te be paid into the county treasury, with power In the municipalities to Increase this tee for their own benefit.

The licence law whioh ia to supersede prohibition must be a most carefully guardoa one. Tbe traffic must be takea out of the hands of immoral and Irresponsible parties: willful soiling te minors or drunkards should be a cause forrAveklng aliocnse drunkenness should be iki

slspraotical legislation on this subjeot igislstlon that is broad enough to meet the viaws of more than a single olass: that is liberal enough to oommand the respect of all her people that is generous enough to invtte to her borders every el

The Governor disouHses the tariff question at groat length, and on this subjcct says: system of taxation the effect of which ia to t&ko Irum one C)UHH ami give to another is necessarily a partial and unequal distribution of pubUo burdens, if such A system Is necessary bucauso nono can be devised that is absolutely fair to all classes, apparont its inequalities should be condticri to the lowest practical limit.

"It is probably true that tho burdens of an exorbitant protective tariff fall more heavily upon Iowa than upon most of her Bister States. Such a tariff is necessarily in conflict with the best interests of the one great industry which is the chief hope and sustenance of her people.

LINCOLN LIVES.

Minister Llucoln's Son Has Rallied and Has Still a Chance of Recovery. CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—Young Abraham Lincoln, son of Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, United States Minister to Great Britain, who was reportod in cablegrams to Chicago papers to have died at London Thursday night, still lives.

LONDON* Fob. 28.-—Young Abraham Lincoln, son of the United Statos Minister, who was thought to be dying Wednesday night, has rallied and is now resting easily. The aboess from which he is suffering was lanced by his physicians during the night and muoh relief was afforded to him by tbe operation.

Minister Lincoln said Thursday afternoon that tho doctors Bay his son surprised all about him by not only surviving the night, but by having sufficient strength in the morning to permit tho tapping operation being performed, whioh greatly relieved tho heart and lungs from effusion. It was pronounced that this oporation, becauso of the patient's feeble oonditlon, would be fatal, but it has at least temporarily reversed tho hopeless condition of the patient. Additional measures were taken in tho afternoon to prevent a dangerous accumulation of pus. Another operation was performfed, which afforded great relief to the patient. A drain was inserted in tha affected part and the matter is now flowing freely from it.
