Carpets were found frozen stiff, and furniture is badly damaged by the filth accumufrom tho water. A crust of Ice about two inches thick extends over the urea covered by the flood, and adds to the damage to property. At 2 o’clock this morning the river was thirteen feet above low water mark.

INDIANA’S RESOURCES. Twelfth Annual Report of the State Geologist. Condition of the §tate Museum—Value of the Department—The Coal Fields. The twelfth annual report of the State Department of Geology and Natural History was submitted to the General Assombly yesterday, by Dr. John Collet, showing the work ot the department during the last year in developing the naturnal resources of the State. The Indiana building stones, the finest and most durable in the world, are now finding a ready market in all the h ading cities of the country, and there is a rapidly-growing demand for Indiana cements, which t lie geologist states are in quality' second to none in the country. In speakiugof the State Museum, Dr. Collett says that the collection very fully represents the archaeological, paleontological and mineral resources of the State, while the collection of specimens of the Silurian. Devonian and sub-carbon-iferous ages is one of the best in the world. The total number of specimens at the time of last year’s report was 44,424. During the year additions have been made until now the number exceeds 10b,000, estimated to be worth over SIOO,OOO. The forthcoming volume will contain detailed reports upon surveys of Marion county, by Dr. R. T. Brown; Jay county, by Rov, D. C. McCasiiu; Randolph county, by Dr. A. J. Phinney, and Decatur county by Dr. Moses N. Elrod, James Hall, geologist of New York, and a distinguished paleontologist, contributes a review of the remainder of the figures of the Van Gleve fossils, with descriptions having particular reference to the geology of Indiana. A marked feature of tho volume will be the contribution of Professor Leo Lesquereux upon paleozoic botany, givlug figures and drawings illustrating the forest botany of Indiana’s coal measures. Rev. George L. Curtiss gives a carefully prepared paper, with illustrations, upon the microscopic study of the animacuUe found in the water in Indianapolis and vicinity. “By these figures,” the Geologist consolingly remarks, “every one can see the forms of the animals which it delights his soul to swallow.” The work of the Geologist during the past year has been more particularly devoted to examinations of Newton and Jasper counties. IDs time, however, has been more largely occupied iu office work, and his correhas amounted to 1,20 b or 1,500 letters, “some of which required the greatest care and study, us they involved information upon which depended the expenditure of thousands of dollars.” The compilation and publication of the lust annual report of the State Geologist cost at tho rate of less timn $1 a volume, while in other Btates the cost of production varies from $2 to sls, stud averages $4.80 a copy. In speaking of the demand for the reports of the department Dr. Collett says: “They are not alone contributions to tlie science of the age, but enable the students and teachers of tho State to gain access to valuable scientific knowledge at a nominal cost, while the library of a scientist will often cost from SIO,OOO to $20,000.” Some valuable contributions to the scientific literature of the State are promised for the future. C. C. A. White, the United States paloutologist of the Smithsonian Institute, li preparing figures and descriptions of the coal measure fossil animals of Indiana,while Prof. E. P. Cope, of Philadelphia, a distinguished comparative anatomist, is carefully preparing a paper upon the pleistocene fossils of the State. Including the mastodon, elephant, tnegaionyx, the great beaver, the great deer, and other giant animals. A contribution upon the forces whic h have moulded the surface of the valley of the continent and by which the sons of Indiana have been so greatly enriched, written by Prof. Newberry, of Columbia College, New York, the dynamical geologist, is promised. The appropriation for the maintenance of the department during 1881 and 1882 was SIO,OOO. Os tills Hinouut $8,620.97 was expended, and there is now a balance on haud of $1,370.03, which, under the provisions of the appropriation, goes to the general fund of the State treasury. An appropriation of SIO,OOO for the next two years will be necessary, and an additional uraount of $6,000 is asked for the purchase of three collections of prehistoric relics valued at SII,OOO. In a brief review of the general economic geology of the State, Dr. Collett states that “the quarrying interests promise to become an important feature in the products if the State in the near future.” During the year 1980 the capital invested in the operation of quarries was $613,500, anil the output of material was 8,413,827 cubic feet, worth $633,775, or about $20,000 more than the total capital employed. To effect this result required the labor of 1,788 men and 545 horses, and the use of 13 steam chaonellers in quarrying, 107 derricks and in hoisting. 14 saw-mills and 42 gangs of saws (3 per mill) In dressing, while 5,727,225 cubic yards of space were excavated, in doing which $2,300 worth of powder and dynamite was used. The Indiana coal fields, which cover an area of about 7,000 square mites, are simply inexhaustible. The State Geologist reports that there are twelve seams, at depths ranging from the surface to 300 feet below. Five of these seams, varying from one-half foot to eleven feet and averaging five feet, in thickness, can be operated at all times. The block coal is well adapted to use In the manufacture of Bessemer steel. A careful test of the comparative merits of coal from Greene countv and from Pittsburg was made by J. J. Turner, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes railroad, as used by the locomotives on his liue, with the following results: Pittsburg. Indiana. Wheels hauled otic mile per ton coal 97 .99 Gallons of water evaporated per ton coal 53 .52 Average temperature during test.39° 39.9° Total consumption 40 J 35 Indiana now stands sixth among the coal-pro-ducing States. During the last year 5,000 Then were employed, to whom were paid wages amounting to over $1,500,000. In the mines wuh invested a capital of $2,500,000, while the product was 1,500.000 tons of coal, worth at the mine $2,50G,0J0, u sum equal to the capital invested. AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE—“OLIVETTE.” Miss Catherine Lewis appeared at the Grand last night in “Olivette,” to an audience that was surprisingly large when tiie inclement weather is taken into consideration. Miss Lewis has been often admired L this part here before, and last night she made a repetition of her previous success. She is probably' tho best artist in comic opera before the public, and she is certainly the best “Olivette.” Miss Lily West, an attractive young lady, gave a pleasing performance of the “Counters,” singing it sweetly anil acting if gracefully. Mr. Greeusfelder, who has taken Hartv Brown’s place in the company, is much The cleverer artist of the two, and his Dr Merreinae was excellent. Aside from Mr. Legnox’sComical Coquilieot, the cast otherwise was weak, Henry Laurent’s Valentine being particularly bad. The chorus was fair ar.d the orchestra I good, “olivette” will be repeated to-night, ; which closes tho engagement. NOTES. j Ben Stern, advance agent of Freddie Gebhart ; and the Lily, is in town.

Wheeler lived here he was not suspected of musioal ability, hut since he lias been under the cure of Miss Abbott his voice has developed into a pure Jaybird-like, spriugrime falsetto, perfect in everything but the lower, middle and upper registers. Miss Ada Gray is announced for English’s the last three nights of the week, in “East Lynne,” but there is a lingering suspicion.that she is not coming, as her paper is not up, anil she is usually “billed like a circus.” Frank Frayue will play “Mardo, tho Hauler.” the first three nights of next week, and Maude Granger in “The Planter’s Wife,” will be the attraction for tiie last three. To-nieht, at the Park Theater, Rev.

THE REVIVAL. Major Whittle Inaugurates His Meeting at the First Baptist Church. A good audience assembled at tbfe First Baptist Church lasi evening at tho first meeting of Major Whittle’s revival services. The meeting was opened by singing “Wonderful Words of Life,” after which Rev. C. C. Herriott offered prayer. Tho audience then sang “Jesus Keep Me Near tho Cross,” when Dr. L. W. Munhall led In prayer, and at the request of Major Whittle sang “The Child of a King.” The sermon was from Mathew v. 20: “For I say uuto you, that, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of tho Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall iu no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” He said, “I want to talk to you of the preparation of our comiug to tho Lord; what God’s word has to say iu regard to the claims of Christ. There is very little on the minds of men now regarding the claims of God, hut this does not change the truth. These pass ages are connected with the word “except.” This and the other passages to which I shall refer, is a bill of exceptions filed by tho Spirit of God, and it is a solemn bill, because it comes from tho Spirit of God. This is the first exception God takes to you if you have not accepted His Son. If you have not accepted Christ your righteousness is as that of the Scribes and Pharisees. If you want to act out just what the law of God requires, then you must have the obedience Jesus rendered. How futile this is. (See Romans iii, 20th verse): “By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified In His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” (See also Luke xiii, 3 and 5 verses.) Here Ho is referring to those, on whom the Tower of Siloam foil. There is now preached unto you repentance. Ts you are not a righteous man. repent; stop trying to make out that you can get along without repentance. God demands that we must be really sinners. We may deceive ourselves, but wo cannot deceive God. Repentance for sins is turning to God, a being willing to repair damages when wrong has been done; it involves reparation to our fellow-men. If yon go on in sin, by' and by, in nn hour you think not, suddenly the hand of God wiil come upon you. Oh! sinner if you repent not you will perish. This is a solemn thought. In Matthew xviii, 3. we are told “except ye be converted,” “ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” except you be turned from evil toward the good. We must be humbled. This in man tho greatest obstacle. The Savior toon up a little child and it felt its dependence. Our hearts must be softened. The voice of Jesus is calling you. God loves yon. God wants to make you holy. There is in vou that fighting against God’s wili. There must be submission to God if we want to be happy. Wliat a blessing that wo can be reconciled to God. Jesus will take you to-night. In John vi, 53 we are taught that we must appropriate personally to ourselves all that Christ is. God is calling yon through Jesus and He is no abstraction, but a living, personal Christ. Oli, friend, hero to-night God gives blessings on the ground of the possession of the blood of Jesus. I never yet have seen a convicted sinner converted except be got a look at the cross. It you are not in the light do not pass over the crucified Savior. Do not miss this simple truth: “The Lord hath laid noon Him the iniquities of us all.” If you feel weak and helpless, come. This is all God asks. When you surrender to God you will have the witness of the Spirit, and if your surrender is the true work of God you will have anew nature. This is a practical matter. Cost your burdens ou Jesus. It ia right for yon to serve God; come to Jesus to-night; he will give you rest.” There will be The usuai services to-night, Major Whittle preaching. The Bible reading will be from 4 to 5 o’clock in the lecture room of the First Baptist church, and duriug this week will be conducted by Dr. Pierson.

Action for Damages. Martin Meyer yesterday brought suit against the Citizeus’ Street Railroad Cainpuny, asking damages iu the sum of $3,000 for injuries received in a Washington-street car last.
