Jonesboro Jlride May Go, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION. Ind., March 6. The Mlsslssinewa, which Is already higher than it has been here for years, is rising rapidly. During last night it rose at the rate of five Inches an hour. The numerQiis streams which feed it are out of their banks and those draining the oil regions are covering the surface of the river with oil. Near Jonesboro the street-car track was Hooded, and the company was compelled to transfer passengers. The water Is so near the bridge Ik t ween Jonesboro and (las City that the street cars stopped crossing it it noon to-day. Travel will be suspended between here and the twin cities to-night. The residents of Johnstown, which is protected by a levee, are apprehensive that the water will overllow the banks and drive them from their homes.

The Baltimore 4fc Ohio Southwestern and Monon are the great losers. There have been no trains from any direction for the past forty-eight hours. White river is still rising ten inches an hour and has already reached the highest point ever known here. It will be impossible to figure the loss, which is enormous, until the water recedes. Ifc trains are expected before Monday. The WnMliont nt 'rctn field. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Ind..

Linen Entering: Cincinnati Endeavoring to Resume Tronic. CINCINNATI, Feb. 6. The sudden flood of yesterday was an entirely new experience to the railroads. 'Almost all of them were suddenly paralyzed; in the morning by a situation no foresight; could have foretold. The location cf tlife storm was such as to inflict tho great t!ta damage on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, whose tracks were under flood influences at various points from St. Louis to Chlllicothe, O. The road was fortunate in losing no bridges. Tho trouble from washouts and landslides Is to-day under energetic process of removal, and uninterrupted traffic will be resumed over the whole line by to-morrow. The Pennsylvania road suffered most severely between Cincinnati and Xenla. and that part of the road is still useless. Their trains run to Xenla over the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton, via Dayton. The Big Four road is already in full operation except that immediately north of the city, trains being run over the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton tracks. At f o'clock this morning General Superintendent Turner, of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton road, reported damages from high water repaired and all trains moving regularly. The Chesapeake & Ohio had trouble only at the Cincinnati end of the line, and that Is all repaired already. The other roads were not disturbed. The river nt 10 o'clock to-night was 41 feet 42 Inches and was falling inches an hour. At all ioints above Cincinnati it Is reported as rising, but not rapidly at any point. It looks as if the Pittsburg freshet, which is causing the rise above here, will not be likely to bring the river here much above Its present stage. An extensive section of the upper Ohio escaped the recent great rain, which extended only a few miles east of here. The Scioto river, which the storm caught in central and western Ohio, is pouring floods into the Ohio at Portsmouth. Portsmouth is cut off as to railroad communication, except by the Chesapeake Ar Ohio and the Hamdcn branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. No tickets are sold from Portsmouth to Cincinnati on the Cincinnati. Portsmouth jfc Virginia, and none to Columbus on the Norfolk & Western. Whil the great rainstorm kept away from the Ohio river east of here. It paralleled It not far north mto central and southern Ohio. At Chlllicothe no tia ns wnt ?outh or west to-day. Wilmington. ().. has been without mails for two days owing to washouts on the Midland Railway and broken culverts on the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley road. A trestle and bridge on the Midland Railway near Palestine. O., was washed away, but communication is kept up by the Big Four tracks. Dayton. O.. reports the inundation of North Dayton by tho breaking of thr west bank levee of the Big Miami river. The inundation in North Dayton affects three hundred families, compelling some to move and others to take refuge In the upper stories of their houses. At Piqua. O.. a washout on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railway compels the road to use its old tracks, further from the city. At all these points it is reported that trains will start running regularly by Sunday night or Monday morning. Much of the obstruction to railroad travel is from damage? to tracks at Cincinnati or near this city. An estimate of tho loss to gardeners In Mill creek valItv alone within and adjacent to Cincinnati puts that figure at The loss to rail roads and to farms in southern Ohio and Indiana will be very great. 3Iener Report of nn Accident. WILMINGTON. O., March C.-The damage consequent to the heavy rains of yesterday is estimated at $25.t in this county to bridges and pikes alone, while that to farms, llvo stock and personal property cannot yet be estimated. All railroad communication has been cut off since early yesterday morning and will 1 for several davs. But meager details can yet be obtained. A Mr. Taggart. cashier of a bank at Wheeling. W. Va.. was killed and three others are reported fatally hurt and many more injured. It was the heaviest rainfall ever known in this locality. North Dayton I Uder Water. DAYTON, O., March C The river here reached" 16 feet 4 inches at 11 a. m., the highest tdnce 1M.8. and then began to fall slowly. levees north of the city have broken, and North Dayton is under water. Houses ate in danger of tloating away, and much damage has been done. The families were rescued by police patrol wagons until the water drove them out. then boats were used. The situation Is growing more serious. Natural tlas Cut on. COLUMBUS. O.. March C The natural gas main under Big Walnut creek washed out by high water and cut off the pressure at 3 o'clock a. m.. leaving the city without gas until Monday at least, if not longer. All kinds of domestic, ollice and mercantile interests are affected. TOO ILL TO BE ARRESTED. Miss linker Clin reed with Ilrtipon.il. blllty for Kernoehan's Death. NEW YORK. March 6.-Miss Grace Baker, daughter of George F. Baker, president of the First National Bank of this city, was to have been placed under arrest to-day, on the charge of being responsible for the death of James P. Kernochan. the banker. -.Miss Baker was driving the cart which struck Mr. Kernochan as he was crossing Fifth avenue, at Forty-fifth street. on Monday. Inflicting injuries from which he died last night. There is no expectation that criminal carelessness will be proven against Miss Baker, and her arrest was contemplated merely in conformity with the law. which requires the police to hold in custody anyone who may designed or accidentally, cause the death of another, until the facts in the case can be prooerly established. Early in the afternoon, however, it was ascertained that the young lady was critically 111 from nervous fright. Her attorney said that he would le responsible for Miss Baker's appearance at any time she might be wanted. Obituary. DETROIT. Mich.. March 6. George Jerome, retired railroad attorney, died at his home to-day, aged seventy-six. Deceased was a, stanch Republican, and twenty years ago was a leading tigure In public life. He was regarded as Zachary Chandler's right-hand man. and stumped the East with Chandler in the Hayes-Tilden. campaign. He was collector of customs at Detroit from 1&3 to 1ST6. and served as state senator several terms. He was a brother to Governor David 11. Jerome. ,

ALL READY FOR WAR

GHKKCn. TURKEY ASD TlfC LXTTL.E BALKAN STATES I'XDEIt AK31S, Rnnnln. Maninf7 Troops on the Anatolian Ilorder and Other 1'owerii ArrnnKliiK to Illocknde Piraeus. HELLENES STILL DEFIANT TIIOtfHI H K PORTED TO DE WILLI MJ TO MAKi: CO. CESS IONS. (ireeka In the L'nited States Aaked to Aid Their .Motherland in the Hour of Her Great Necessity. I. (Social Cable letter.) LONDON, March 7.The situation In Greece, Turkey and Crete is growing more critical every hour, and from present indications it is only a matter of days when real war and all its attendant horrors will break tho peace of Europe. Greece shows no signs of heeding the ultimatum of the powers, and Turkey Is concentrating troops on the frontier of Thessaly. Russia is massing a force on the borderland of Anatolia, and the admirals of tho powers whose lleets aro stationed in Cretan waters are preparing plans to blockade the Piraeus. Even the Balkan states are preparing to take part in the coming fray, either offensive or defensive. Altogether the outlook is not encouraging to those who dread to hear the "dogs of war" bark. The ultimatum of 4 the six powers to Greece, insisting ori the withdrawal of the Greek troops and fleet from Crete, which was presented on Monday last, expires at 4 p. m. to-morrow, March 8. At that hour, if Greece is still obdurate, the ministers of the six powers will leave the city. They are already preparing their embassies for departure. No hostilities or coercive measures are possible until Wednesday, as the foreign admirals must first be advised of the departure of the ministers. Then, however, the trouble may btgin. A dispatch to the Times from Constantinople says the opinion is growing in palace circles there that Russia engineered the Greek movement in order to set the East ablaze and give her a reasonable pretext for occupying the Turkish provinces. Reports have been received of the active concentration of Russian troops on tho Anatolian frontier. Salonica is being fortltieu against a &ea attack. The embassadors of the powers presented a second collective note to the Turkish government calling on the Porte to withdraw the Turkish troops from the interior of the Island or crete ana to keep them in the towns. Th recall of all tioops irom the island except a small detachment to guard the new Governor, Ismael Bey, will ultimately be required. The correspondent of the Daily Chronicle at Athens says there are grounds for lclieving that the situation is improving. 1 tie correspondent learns that "more than one power has intimated unofliclaliy that if Greece is willing to meet the powers half way an amicable exit from a diliicult situation is still possible." It is Udieved, continues the correspondent, that Greece is willing to consent to a temporary Turkish suzerainty over Crete if the powers will allow the Cretans, when order 13 restored, to decido their own fate by plebiscite, aim wui appoint a Greek Governor for the present, l.'nder these conditions, it is suggested, Greece might consent to withdraw her army and heet on the assurance that there would be no general massacre. "I presume," he says, "it is generally known that three constitutional countries of Europe not only sympathize with Greeee, but actually made proposals which Greece could have accepted, but that Germany repulsed them. Unless other leadership of the European concert is substitutes! for Germany's, a peaceful settlement is impossible." The views of this correspondent are not in line with the tenor of other dispatches from Athens, which say the Gre?ks arc still determined to resist the powers. . The Greek fleet left Canea yesterday for an unknown destination. The foreign war ships have landed live hundred men at Sellno. Tho news of the proposal upon the part of the powers to grant autonomy to the Island of Crete has created a bad impression among the insurgents, who desire annexation to Greece. The Mussulmans are also irritated at the concession of autonomy. The departure of the British consul. Sir Alfred Billiotti. alone, for Selino, on board the British battle ship Rodney, although that vessel was accompanied by other foreign war ships, Is badly Interpreted by the. other consuls, who. however, had previously rejected a proposal to-go there in order to make a fresh attempt to save the Moslem families who are in danger by the Investment of that place by tho insurgents. Advices from Salonica say that feverish activity prevails there In the military reservations. Four extra battalions of Redlfs have gone to Caterlna. Ed hem Pasha, who is to command the Turkish troops in Macedonia, has arrived at Salonica and will proceed immediately to Elassona. Sixty battalions of infantry and fifteen batteries of artillery and four regiments of cavalry are now posted on the Greek frontiers of Macedonia and Epirus. A dispatch from Canea, filed at a late hour last night, states that a mixed detachment of troops was landed at Selino from war ships of the powers yesterdr.v morning. They set out forthwith for Candimo. a distance of seven miles. In regard to this force, M. Barclls, the Greek vice consul, informed the admirals that the Greek government declined all responsibility. Enthusiasm is unabated in Athens, the populace continuing to favor a policy of boldness in dealing with the situation. Hurried preparations lor eventualities are continued. Yesterday instructions were issued that the students of the Greek military colleges be Immediately tlrafted into tho army as officers. The retired officers, who are members of the executive chamber, have requested the government to reInstate them In the army. Prime Minister Delyannis has issued a circular to the municipal authorities throughout the kingdom to hasten tho collection of taxes, in view of the critical state of affairs. The crown prince goes to Thessaly on Monday. It Is rumored that the wreck on the coast of Epirus, which was at first thought to be a transport, turns out to be a Turkish gunboat, carrying three Krupp guns, and supposed to be the Euphrates. It is learned that the Turks have fired on a Greek lishlnc: vessel on the coast of Epirus. killing two sailors. The Greek government has 'ordered a gunboat to proceed immediately to the scene. Many officers of foreign armies have asked to ; be allowed to serve under the Greek flag. In reply the Greek government expressed Its thanks to the officers, but said that the laws of Greece would not permit the acceptatwe of their services. SITUATION IMPROVING. So Many nrlttnliern Think, hut Others Sny Wnr In Inevitable. (Copyright 1SS7, by the Associated Tress.) LONDON, March 6. The dispatch from Henry Norman, the Daily Chronicle's correspondent at Athens, saying, that there are grounds to believe that the Cretan situation is improving; that more than one power has Intimated unofficially that an amicable, exit from the difficulty Is still possible if Greece is willing to met the powers half way and that Greece Is willing to consent to a temporary Turkish suzerainty over Crete if the powers will allow the Inhabitants of that island, when order is restored, to decide their own fate by a plebiscite, and will appoint a Greek Governor for the present, has created a good Impression here. This is due to the fact that the latter part of it is believed, rightly or wrongly, to have emanated from the Greek government, and Is looked on as giving promise that the "matter may yet become compromised without bloodshed. The Stock Exchange here to-day opened with a better tone. The upward tendency was not very pronounced, however, to the flttness of the continental bourses. The advices from Athens, and Constantinople indicate that while the powers are agreed as to their general policy they aro divided 03 to the character of thi coercion to be applied to Greece. Two currents of Xcellns prevail. 'Great Britain, France,

Italy and Austria, on one side, are sympathetic to 'Greece and favor mild methods, while Germany and Russia insist on vigorous measures. -This divergence is manifested in the negotiations preliminary to drawing up the note to Greece. The powers first named Insisted on the insertion In the declaration than Crete would not be annexed to Greece of the words "at the present Juncture." This implies that the four powers are disposed to acquiesce In the annexation of jLhei island lo oreece when the warlike feeling shall have subsided. Russia and Germany only agreed to this on obtaining the- Insertion of the words "will not hesitate to take any coercive steps" in the identical notes presented to the Greek government on Monday lat by the representatives of the powers at Athens. Thus tho last clause of the note was made to read: "Therefore. Greece Is solemnly warned that unless the aforesaid withdrawal (of the Greek troops from the Island of Crete and of the Greek ships from Cretan waters or from points where the powers are in occupation) occurs within six days the powers will not hesitate to take any coercive tsteps necessary to enforce it, and their decision is irrevocable." The separation of Russia and France may have considerable influence on the future developments in the situation. The English Liberal newspapers are working the plucky tJreece vein for all it Is worth, and are Indulging: in hysterical praise of her attitude. A big mass meeting has been called, to take place In Hyde Parke to-morrow, to protest against the coercion of Greece and the Liberal newspapers are publishing pages of letters from unknown people cheer. ng for Greece. The Greek charge d'affaires in London says he Is receiving, every day, offers of volunteers to go to Greece, and he adds that he has also received subscriptions for the Greek cause, amounting to 1L0,0 (JG0.000). It Is further stated that some of the English volunteers have already started for Athens. Several retired officers of the British army have offered their services, and a body of 100 volunteers, commanded by English officers, will start for Greece next week. The Greek consul at Liverpool has also received offers from volunteers. The feeling on the continent appears to be that war between Greece and Turkey Is inevitable. According to the Gaulois, of Paris, if Greece does not withdraw her troops from Crete in obedience to the mandate of the powers Turkey will immediately declare war. .The feeling In political circles In England, however, is that the powers will succeed In warding off war. This sentiment is voiced with the Saturday Review, which says: "The owners are resolved that there shall be n.o war. The rumor reaches us from Athens that the King of Greece asserts he has an agreement, with Bulgaria as to 'the future partition of Macedonia and It Is known that the Bulgarians have an agreement with the Servians. If this Is true these thre-e powers might go ahead and divide Macedonia and tlu? powers would have more than enough to do to keep out of the fray. But, we repeat, the powers are determined there shall be no war. Neither Russia nor Austria are ready for war, and Germany has nothing to gain thereby. Conseeiuently. in spite of . the Greeks. Bulgarians, Servians and hysterical English Radicals, we believe the peace of Europe will be preserved." . At the same time a large number of Unionists are dissatisfied with the position Great Britain has been placed in. They say. in the Marquis of Salisbury's dread of war, he is yielding far too much for the powers who are anxious that the Integrity of the Turkish empire should be malntaaud. regardless of what may happen to all the Eastern 'Christians, and they blame the Marquis of Salisbury for not insisting that both the Turks and Greeks ejuit Crete together. The Spectator expresses Itself as follows: "Before the British people are driven to any combination in support of Turkey, they would appeal to America for aid. which, under the circumstances, would not le refused. Let Europe declare war on the United Anglo-Saxon race if it has tRe recklessness." GREEKS CALLED TO WAR.

All Hellene In A morion. A!ed to FlKlit for Their Motherland. NEW YORK. March G. His Excellency Alexander G. Skouses; minister of foreign affairs to King George of the Hellenes, cables to-day to the acting Grecian minister instructing him to call out the members of the Grecian reserve forces who' are in tho United States, and to urge them by every means In his power to go to the assistance of their native country. D. N. Botassl. the acting minister, who is also consul general of Greece In New York, in an interview said that, tho cablegram was of a most alarming nature, and indicated that war wms imminent. "It is very serious," said Mr. 'Botassl. "I am instructed to even call out the reserves that belong to the class as far. back as ISC:, and so It is evident that King George sorely needs the support of every able-bodied (J reek in this struggle. In this country there are about twenty thousand Greeks. Of these probably about five thousand belong to the army reserve. Through the Associated Press. In the name of King George, I wish to officially notify all the reserves of the Grecian army who are in this country that their fatherland calls them back to its ranks. And to all Greeks, whether they have fought In by-gone days or whether they have not, I say In the name of my King, 'Your country needs you.' " KRMANV UXI'ECTS AVAIL Remarkable Statement In the RelchnltiR !y Vice Admiral Ilnllmnnn. LONDON, March 6. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says a statement made by Vice Admiral Von Hollmann in the Reichstag yesterday was a surprise to Germany and to all Europe. He began by saying that the situation was so serious that he was compelled to speak plainly. Tho view held, he cald. In the supreme quarter responsible for the conduct of war was that Germany must be placed in a position to fight with strong forces on the sea as on the land. Germany did not need a navy to protect coasts that protected themselves, for while things went well foreign powers would never think of landing troops upon them., "But," he eontlnuetl, "In the event of war it is imperative that we should be able to prevent any sort of blockade by sea. We cannot do that with our present navy. Our influence and power will go to the devil unless we exert pressure with our fleet, even In the most distant seas. The scheme I am submitting to you only extends to K00. Man Is mortal and must not look too far in advance. But unless wo spoke out now it would be said that we hail not tho courage to say what wo think. My proper place would be In the criminal dock if I Vithheld from you the necessary demands of the navy and afterward went to rack and ruin in, consequence." The effect of Von Hollmann's statement on the committee was to produce general consternation. Herr Lieber said it was utterly Impossible to continue the proceedings, as the Diet had been asked to vote 323,000.000 marks during the next two years. "I ask," he said, "was the secretary of the treasury acquainted with this system beforehand?" Count PosadowskI made no reply. Herr Lieber, continuing, said: "I ask if the chancellor, the only responsible official of the empire, has authorized thi3 announcement?" Tho whole matter is somewhat of a mystery, and appears to affect the Reichstag as a great surprise. Count PosadowskI. secretary of the imperial treasury, and other members of the committee of estimates, seemed to be so affected by it. if the idea is, says the Times correspondent, to appeal to- the country to indorse the proj)osals of Von Hollmann. there cannot be the slightest hope of a favorable result. Herr Rlchter. discussing tho estimates last night, said that this scheme, together with the amount asked for the army reserves, would involve an increase in the imperial debt of 500,000,000 marks within the next four years. Ileleinn Stndo.nts Favor Greece. BRUSSELS, March C The students of this city held a meeting last evening, and after adopting resolutions expressing sympathy with Greece they marched to the Greek consulate, which they cheered, and then went to the Turkish consulate, hooted and hissed and broke the windows with stones. They were finally dispersed by the police. MEXICAN METHUSELAH. Fenneral of Jcmuh Campreho. AY ho In Said to Have lleon 151 Years Old. GAUDALAJARA, Mex., March 6.

LACKAYE WILL TRY AGAIN. If He Can iiet Through the Flood AMU Play Here Thin Week.' Dickson anil Talbott have arranged v.ith W'nton Lackayo to give Indianapolis two nights and a matinee Tuesday and Wednesdayto make up for the engagement which the Hood interfered with. I'ist night th Grand was practically sold out and there was much disappointment at Mr. Lackaye's inability to get here. Yesterday morning Dickscn and Talbott received a telegram from lackaye at Ixuisville that the company would arrive at 4 p. m. This necessitated turning away the afternoon audience which would have completely filled the theater. Mr. Lackayc telephoned from Ijouisville that the railroads could not get him through until midnight. This meant the adandonment of the lat hope. Mr. Iackayo was called up by telephone and. through J. M. Kenney, his business manager, who arrived hero opportunely last evening, an ararngoment was made by which the company will play at the Grand Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee. It took considerable work to arrange this shift, but Mr. Lackaye appreciates the desire of Indianapolis to see his play. Ids company and himself, and is therefore anxious to appear here. The present week is the last opportunity to play Indianapolis before going Kast and the transfer of dates to get in the two nights and matinee here was only accomplished after much expense. "Dr. lielgran" will attract large audiences this week. That is evident irom the rush Friday and yesterday. Iickaye, Marie Walnwright, Couldock, Alice Kvans and the rest of the company are notably good and the play is powerful and appropriately staged. "IMPORTER" COMES TO GRIEF. Pinkun Melneli Coldner Had Many Idiotic Relative. Too WASHINGTON, March 6. Commissioner General Stump, of the Immigration Bureau, has received details of the capture in New York of I'inkus Mclach Goldner, who has furnished the department with its first case under Section C of the new immigration law, which makes it a misdemeanor to bring ineligible immigrants into the United States. Goldner is an American citizen, and arrived on the Phoenicia on the 1st of March, in company with a girl of eighteen and a boy of eleven, booked as Eidcl and David Goldner. The girl has curvature of the spine and a club foot and is otherwise deformed. It was learned from an aunt of the girl, Augusta Blauner, that she was not Goldner's daughter, but that her name was Dlauner, and that her father had sent her from Germany to get rid of her. It was also asserted in the statement made to the bureau by Dr. Senner that Goldner had made a business of bringing deformed and idiotic immigrants to this country as his relatives. Jiis charge is said to have been fc for each person brought in. On the Phoenicia were also an imbecile, a blind man and other ineligible persons, whom, it is alleged, Goldner attempted to railroad through, but tho number of his relatives brought him to grief. His case was put into the hands of the United States district attorney in New York. "POPE BOB" HELD UP, Bnt Only for n Moment, for He Knocked Down the Footpad. CHICAGO. March 6. White Robert G. Ingersoll was on his way to the Columbia Theater this evening he was stopped by a beggar in Clark street and asked for money in a rough manner. The beggar grabbed the colonel by the arm and shouted: "I want some of your money.' With this he caught the noted orator by the arm and turned him half around. For a moment Mr. Ingersoll was taken aback by man was a dark the sudden attack. Tho fast pushing him toward doorway, so witnesses sudden jerk the large frame say. wun of Ingersoll swayed backwards; his right hand was raised in a threatening manner and before the would-be footpad could accomplish his work the left arm of Ingersoll described a half hook in th air and his hst landed on the head of the beggar-robber. The blow was not very strong, but it staggered tho attacking man. lietore he could recover a swinging right hander caught him on the point of the jaw and lie fell to the sidewalk. A large crowd gathered around the two men, and after explaining the matter Mr. Ingersoll continued on his way to the theater. Movements of Steamer.
