THE WILD WABASH.
She Comes to a Stand at Noon, Twenty-Two* and One-Half Feet Above Low Water
Mark,
But Late Last Night Commenced .to Rise Again, and Is Still Coming Up.
Higher at Lafayette Than Ever Known Before, and Still Rising There.
The Local Floods Continue to Subside—Notes and Incidents.
Afternoon Report*
The Wabash still continued its aspiring career yesterday, and the wagon bridge and the railroad bridges were thronged all day with a curious crowd, eager to look upon the at present giant stream—and the sight was worth the trouble. The rise continued until about noon, when the waters came to a stand at twenty-two and a half feet, or three inches higher than the freshet of last week. The guage at the water works showed a rise of two and a half inches from midnight Thursday until six o'clock yesterday morning. From six o'clock until noon there was arise of but one inch, indicating that the water had reached its highest point, unless ligavy rains from up the river should increase it in volume. Last weejj the Yandalia bridge gauge indicated twenty-three feet and three inches when the freshet was at its highest point, and the present rise is three inches in excess of that. This is the highest point reached by any rise since the big one of August, 1875, when the waters reached twenty-seven and a half feet above low water mark.
The large amount of ice running yesterday indicated that the gorges reported at various places up the river had broken up. It was an interesting spectacle to watch the immense floes of solid ice, some of them fully an acre in surface, come down the stream and strike the piers of the I. & St. L. bridge with terrific force, producing a noise like the discharge of cannon, and grinding the ice to small fragments. Occasionally the force of the current would drive these immense cakes against the water works building with a heavy thud, likely to frighten a timid person, or one unacquainted with the substantial character of the structure. Being pushed along the side of the building, the edges would be ground into fine mushy particles, as if pounded with a hammer. This run of ice was kept up all day, portions of it evidently being from "bottom gorges, as corn stalks could be seen firmly embedded in the solid cakes.
Unless the rain of yesterday was general towards the head of the Wabash it will have no perceptible effect 011 the river at this point. The ground is thawed to a considerable depth now, as a result of the warm weather, and it will require a heavy rainfall to increase the volumeofwaterin the river.
At NiRnt.
The river continued at a stand all afternoon yesterday, and until about eight o'clock last night, when the water again began to come up. Up to midnight there had been a perceptible rise of two inches, as Shown at the water works, and at that time immense quantities of ice were running. An associated press dispatch from Lafayette states that the river is two or three feet higher there than ever before known. Heavy rains took place there yesterday and the jirospects are that the Wabash will to-day and to-morrow reach a point as high, if not higher, than that of the big rise of 1875.
Tlie Local Floods.
The water continued to recede in the flooded districts yesterday, although enough yet remains to make tne use of skiffs necessary in several places, particularly in the vicinity of the nail works. The rains of yesterday did not produce any visible effect, and if there is no further rainfall, the water will soon subside. The streets and alleys flooded will be almost as impassable from mud for a few days as they have been from water.
A Terre Ilautean at Jeffersonvllle. Sheriff John Cleary returned yesterdav morning from Jeffersonville, where he took the colored prisoners, Anderson and Booker. lie had to take the men down to the prison in boats, the railroad track being covered with water from the bridge to a point near the government building. The water is over the tops of the lamp posts in all parts of the city, and into the second stories of the houses. Persons who took refuge in the second stories of their houses have been compelled to seek safer quarters, and hundreds of families are homeless and suffering. Special trains loaded with provisions have been sent to the relief of the inhabitants, and everything is being done for their aid.
Notes anl Incidents.
The mud now holds the fort. Why not run excursions to Terre Haute, and advertise our flooded districts and the river as attractions.
The Gazeete suggests that the street committee (-lean up the alleys as soon as possible. A "North Ender" suggests that before the alleys are cleaned that tlie streets and bridges in the vicinity of Seventh and Lafayette be attended
"To.
Since the river has been up one man could find constant employment at the water works, answering inquiries as to the state of the river. As soon as the bell rings now they commence telling how it is without waiting for any questions.
Cap!. Fitch writes to the Gazette: "Your correspondent was in error about the Poplar street sewer being stopped uj) yesterday (Thursday). It was taking every drop it could carry. All the sewers were in good working order and doing all they could yesterday. The trouble is that we haven't got sewers enough."
Concerning the talk about the Clinton bridge washing out, L. L. 'W illiamson, engineer at the water works said vesterdav: "I have been here-for seven years past, and in that time have never known the Wabash to be on a boom without the story of the Clintonjmdge washing out being started. The old bridge must be a great deal stronger than she is credited with being."

OBITUARY.
Mrs. J-cthe McKeen.
The respected woman who has passed away full of years, gently and with little suffering, equally prepared to live or die, was one of a narrowing circle now far too small. Few are left of those whose lives include the his tory of our city and its best known families—few are left of those pioneers whose names are our household words whose traits and strong characters are read in their children succeeding them. With natural priue and perfect faith we rejoice in our city, its people, their social excellence,their morality and their strong practical sense. If we are not fully familiar with all the lives of those who have lately died or now approach the close of honored, useful lives, still their works follow them and are known and read by all.
We love the memory of all that remarkable group of men and women who gave tt is community its fortunate first impressions. Among thein was the quiet and practical Mrs. McKeen, who sixty-five years ago was brought to this county by her parents, the only sister in the well known Paddock family. The lives and advantages of those children, though so different from their own children's, seem to have been a good foundation. The limited schooling in the little house on the road where Harrison's army marched and the Indians gathered, was thorough at least. Mrs. McKeen's marriage to the late P.enjamin McKeen was about 1835. A few years were passe'd on that land around the fair grounds, where Mr. McKeen built the then sufficient log house, and then a few more on the Honey Creek farm near the Paddocks" Here the children who sur vive, save the youngest, were born. Then the pleasant home on the National road was established about 1S50. Though till within a few years always without the city, Mrs. McKeen seemed to belong to it." In the quiet life of a busy, practical housekeeper, attentive wife and careful mother, years fly by without striking incidents—more so with one so self-controlled as Mrs. McKeen, whose strongest feelings were not always manifested and whose griefs were quietly borne—and she had those in the death of a son, and a beautiful little girl suddenly cut off. Still it was very marked that there was a deep affection for all bound by family ties—that the relations with her brothers and children were very hap py, and that she was most happy in serving them. Mr. Benjamin McKeen died sixteen years ago at Christmas time. His wife united with the Congregational church a few years later, though for years devoted to the Baptist church, in which she was raised. Her life flowed calm and peaceful. Her years rested lightly upon her. The friends and relatives gathered around her, only last month, to celebrate her seventyfifth birth day, which found her well and happy. She had over-lived the allotted time to approach that most desired end, the close of a good, useful life,to come to her grave, "in aftill age, like as a shock of corn comcth in in his season." Her name and memo.ty survive in her children, of whom live are left in this city.
TARIFF MEETING.
The Call of the Committee for tlie Meeting To-Niglit.
The committee has issued the following call for the meeting at Dowling hall to-night: "In order to protect the iron and steel industries of this country, at the last session of congress a bill was passed authorizing the president to appoint a committee to revise (not reduce) the tariff. After months of arduous research, investigations and the taking of testimony by said comrnis sion, they reported 'a bill to congress, which, in the main, would be eminently satisfactory to the country at large but whether 'from prejudice or for poli.'v, now that the bill is before them, revised by the committee of ways and means of the house, both houses are nutting every obstacle they can the way of its passacre, claiming that the commission was appointed to reduce and not to revise the tariff. This, tinkering is in a measure vital to the iron and steel industry of this country, anil until some kind of a tariff bill is passed there will be no revival in this industry. Therefore it is imperative that prompt action be taken by the present congress to pass a tariff bill, and to Ibis end it is necessary to get up tariff meetings and adopt, resolutions calling on congress to at once pass a tariff bill similar to the one recommended by the tariff commission. Delay is dangerous, therefore be up and doing."
Colonel 11. W. Thompson and Hon. Win. Mack will address the meeting.

The C. & £. 1. Abandons All Trains on Account of a Weak Trestle nt Clinton.
The E. & T. H. Has a Wreck as a Itesult of the FloodGeneral Notes.
Railroading Under Difficulties. The Yandalia has been in hard luck since the recent floods, passenger trains on the west end being compelled to use the Illinois Central and Ohio & Mississippi tracks to get into St. Louis from Effingham. The I. C. intersects the O. & M. at Oden, from which point the Yandalia runs over tbe latter road to the western terminus. The Yandalia track for a distance of over 1,000 feet is covered with the the waters of Shoal creek, rendering the passage of trains an impossibility. The roadmaster has been at Shoals since Thursday morning, with several trains of stone and a double crew of workmen, to put the track in good shape as soon as the water recedes enough to permit this. It had fallen a few inches yesterday, but heavy rains were reported in the regions drained by the Kaskaskia river and Shoals creek, and there is a probability of the water rising even higher than it has been. It was thought trains would be resumed last night on its own track from Effingham but it was not done, owing to the chances of another rise. The other roads have been very fortunate thus far, with the exception of the T. H. & S. E. Trains on that road are running only to Eel river, and for a time Thursday the water was too high even for transfer. The I. & St. L., the T. II. & L., and the E. A T. arc running trains without any serious interruption, all the trains being some what late, owing to orders to run slowover bad stretches of track.
The C. & E. I. abandoned all of its trains between Terre Haute and Danville last night, on account of the unsafe condition of the long river this side of the Wabash bridge at Clinton. The backwater of the trestle is up around the trestle, rendering it dangerous for the passage of trains. The E. & T. H. passenger which arrives here at midnight did not go through to Danville, and the Chicago express, due here at four o'clock this morning, will be held at Danville.
Wreck on tlie £. & T. H.
E. & T. H. north bound freight No. 28 had four ears and the caboose de railed at Spring hill, near the Southeastern crossing about five o'clock last evening, caused by the track spreading. The water has been over the track at that point several times, rendering it weak. The cars were pulled along on tlie ties for about 150 feet. Fortunately no person was hurt, and .the track was repaired in time for the passage of the night passenger train.
Note*.
One hundred car loads of east bound live stock passed through here over tlie I. & St. L. yesterday.
Anew iron bridge is to be erected by the I. & St. L. over Kaskaskia river, at Shelbyville, Ills., at a cost of $20,000.
The Illinois Midland will run a theatrical excursion to this city next Thursday, to attend the Langtry performance. The rate will be one fare for the round trip.
Willis Winn, conductor of the I. & St. L. construction train, is laid up with rheumatism, and during his absence Dick Orlop]), formerly a passen ger conductor on the road, is running his train.
It is stated that the Wcstinghouse brake company have taken a contract to equip all the freight cars of the Central Pacific system of roads, including the Chesapeake and Ohio, with the continuous freight train brake.
The night yard crew of the E. & T, H. at this point, has been laid off temporarily on account of the slack business. The crew consists of six men the night yardmaster, engineer, fireman, and three switchmen.
The Jacksonville railway is now running one regular accommodation train each way daily on the extension from Litchfield to "Smithboro, on the Yandalia. It is the expectation to have it running regularly in a short time.
C. C. Mordaugh, traveling passenger agent of the Gould leased lines west of St. Louis, W. D. Hynes, of the Kansas City, Lawrence & Southern Kansas, and George Harrison, of the Chicago & Northwestern, were in the city, yesterday lookers-on in the "Hoosier Venice."
Legislatures may be overdoing antirailway legislation. A bill, for instance, has been presented in the legislature of Connecticut imposing a fine of $250 for each oflense upon rail road companies that fail to deliver their passengers at its stations on schedule time.
The E. & T. H. will run an excursion train to Evansviile to-morrow morning, for the benefit of those desiring to witness the greatest flood in the Ohio river for fifty years past. Tlie train leaves the Union depot at 7 a. m., and returning, leaves Evansviile at 4 p. in. The fare for the round trip will be $2.50.
It is rumored that the Pacific Express company will, on March 1, cover ?ill the lines "heretofore operated by the United States Express company. By this arrangement the Pacific Express company will have an immense territory—larger by several thousand miles than any express company in the United States.
There will be a meeting of the stockholders of the C. & E. I. at the principal office of the company at Chicago on the 23d of April, for the purpose of confirming a supplemental lease with the Chicago & Western Indiana railroad company, and such other agreements as have been necessary to carry out said lease.
The man run over Wednesday by No. 5 of the E. & T. II., just above Yincennes, was named John Dunn, who had been a resident near Yincennes. The verdict of the coroner attached no blame to the employes of theE. «S:T. II. L. Linxwiler, the engineer, says the train was running full speed when he espied the man, and it was too late to check up.
Ind. Journal: Receiver Conklin, of the Illinois Midland road, is deserving much credit for the excellent manner he is handling this property. When he took hold of it the road hail practically.been abandoned, no trains had been run over it for a month or more. He at once took upon himself the duties of superintendent, trainmaster, paymaster, etc.. leaving the freight business for A. E. Shrader to look after, and in this manner it is heinsr operated quite successfully. Employes are paid promptly, and all surplus earnings, which some months are quite respectable in amount, are being used in improving the roadbed and equipments.
