It was to be regretted that more general notice of the reception waanotgiven, aa many who would doubtlesi have dnioyed it were unaware of ita occurrence. Still, the audience was very respectable in size. The President, Col. Geo. B. Caldwell, in a neat speech, welcomed the gueata of the Club, aud Senator Dawson appropriately re sponded. Mrs. 0. W.

HUM of the Big Jim Blue or 'Sl-Exaggara* tcti Urporta Pr*c?de the Arrival of the WaUr?Some Bmlaliefficta. It will probably bo found this morning that the Ohio river is receding, and tbe big water of February, 1883, will in a few hours be a thing of tbe pant. Tbe river reaobed its highest point this morning about 2 o'clockjthe depth then being, as nearly as could be calcu lated, 39 feet 6 inch**, and perhaps a few inches over. The water covered the track on tbe ltvee from in front of Beamon's cigar store, across Twelfth street to a point opposite Pollack's cigar shop. Yesterday morning there was an anxious aud worried crowd of citizens strung all along the wharf, and huddled about tbe bulletin boards. Tbe morning papers bad contained news of a most alarming character, leading one to believe from the reports from Pitts butgh tha*. a river at least 45 feet might be expected here by noon. About 0 o'clock news began coming in that lessened the anxieties of residents of tbe Island, and those on the 8outh Side who lived in low and ex posed places. The river at niidnight Wed nesday, wbeu itcommenced to raise, was 85 feet deep. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon it was 37 feet 6 inches in depth, tbe rise having been very slow. CCENK8 TttTiaOAt AITBBNOON. The day was a lovely one and the scene from the levte was a very spirited one. The ladies turned out in the afternoon and visited the place in large numbers, enliveuing it very much. The Diurnal, Batchelor and Andes were at the landing and they looked mou atrous. From the boiler decks one could easily look iuto second story windows along the wharf, and from the top of the Texas roof one could ontain a glorious view of the submerged Island. The Princess made regu lar trips to Bellaire in order to accommodate the B., Z. & 0. passengers. The little packet looked twice her size as she would coiue steaming in on the bosom of the mighty river. The roustabouts were busy getting the merchandise ott tbe levee that had been dis charged by the Andes tbe night before. Riv enuen made marks showing how far the' river, in their judgment, would come up. There was an endless line of promeuaders pacing up and down the pavements watchi> g tbe river, the boats and the P. W. & Ky. freight trains as tbey dashed along the water covered track, the wheels sending out show ers of spray. The river was bo high that from the lowers guards of the boats one could step ou to the cars. At dark the boats put out spars so as toavoid floating over on tbe track or being left on tbe bank iu case ef a sudden fall. ? THE ENCR3ACIIIKU WATSBS. From Eleventh to Fourteenth streets on Water, nearly every cellar was fl >oded to a greater or Jess extent. On Main street fiom Alley 9 to the creek a large portion of the cellars held water, and the street was half filled with barrels and boxes. On 8outh street it was the same. All along on' the creek the banks oveiflowed and considerable lum ber was curried away. The gas works were fortunately not injured. About tbe River side and Belmout mills and south of the lat ter, there was altogether too much water for comfort. In the Eighth ward below Thirty-sixth stree', hous-s along tbe river bank were sur rounded. On Chspline street for a square along the Caldwell Kun bottoms, the water just covered the street car tracks last night, while the run was backed up for a consider able distance back, causing much inconven ience. The rear part of bouses on the west side of tbe street from the run bridge up to Twenty-sixth street were flooded with water, As far as can be learned there has been no damage done that can not be repaired. Tbe probabilities are, that the waters will recede slowly at iirst and then go with a rush. There has been more of a scare connected with this freshet than any other for years past, and it has lasted longer than any other. For nearly four days there has been over thirty feet of water at this point, and it Is overpowering to think of the vast volume of the recent rain falls as shown in tbe immense quantity of water that has pasted here. ON TUB ISLAND. The exaggerated r.eporta from head waters night before last, of the big river that was to be expected here, alarmed residents of the Island, and^fbsny of them removed their household goods to the second stories of their residences or to other houses. An amusing story is told of one prominent citizen who went home at midnight with bis'pockets full of Pittsburgh exaggerations by telegraph, bailed aud his family, who came out for bim in a skiff. He went in, remark ed, "Biggest river coming for fifty years 1" and bfgan tearing up carpets, as if he thought the river would be on hiin in a jifly. When the "biggest river for fifty yearn" showed up, he went around asking bis friends to kick him. The water did not cover nearly as much territory as in June, 1881. It covered a large portion of both the old and new fairgrounds, and all the gardens of residents on North Front street From Virginia street uorth to Ziue, and as far east as Broadway, was a sheet of water, and the houses arising out of it made not a bad miniature of Venice, especially as the skills and bateaux passed from bouse to house or about the streets. The entire south ern part of the Island was submerged, though the wa'er entered few houses. AT MARTIN'b rKKKY. In anticipation of a great flood of water the inhabitants of the low lying portions of M-rtin's Ferry prepared to move out at an instant's warning, but up to six o'clock lafit evening the necessity of removal had not ar rived. and all tear of a fl jod.had aboutceased. It was then within about a foot of the height reached in J one, 1881. At the Buckeye Glass Works the finishing department was obliged to suspend owing to a failure in the supply of bentlne, the sources of supply being overflowed. The Unton Glass Works was also stopped, the water having come into the coal sbeds and engine room. The Laugh lin Mill was also off on account of being partially 11 >oded. No damage of any consequence to private property has been occasioned here by the raise, except at the Buckeye Glass Woiks, where one tier of packages in the wareroom is under water. The loss will be trifling. The ferry resumed ber trips yesterday, and as she landed at the foot of Washington street she appeared twice as big as when ly ingather customary landing place. Travel was not very brisk, but the ride on the river's broad bosom was likened to an ocean trip by some of the passengers. AT BKLLAIRB. The scenes around the high-water here yes terday were similar to the day before. Kx drem wagons and drays were hauling water, for all tbo old race of water carts have disap peared. The power house of the water works was at work every available minute, but tbe water put out tbe fires. This whole trouble, including tbe stoppage of onr factories, will be avoided in the future if the new power house is put high enough. Philip Long's house at Gravel Hill was untouched, but the houses towards the middle ferry got weL The stock house of tbe blast furnace was under water, and boys were skating on tbe ice above the railraod bridge over Indian Bun. The water here was just under the bridge at Noble street, where tbe street cars cross. The homes oc cupied by J. W. Janes and Mrs. Malcolm, are the only ones between tbe railroad and the river, except in lower town touched, and the water yesterday afternoon forced these families up stairs. Mercer's wbarf-t>oat was receiving and dls Bhsrging freight as usual, her guirds being on a level with the Cleveland & Pittsburgh railr. Tbe streets on both sides of the creek parallel 19 it were both under water, and iktffo Were plyiug around tha market house md up Belmout atreet to tbs alley back of J. if. 8hanna'elt'a residence. Till 4 o'clock the new creek bridge could be reached from below, but tbe approaches on the upper aide are under now. The market house waa half full. Tbe narrow gauge bridge was tbe only way to cross except in skills. Tbe yardaof the lower glass hottses were all dry, but tbe lower itory of tbe j?:na warehouse, supported on piles that were tooltrong to be hurt by tbe ice that wrecked the narrow gauge engine bouse, was emptied and the goods taaen hThV narrow g?ge train came and left on time, the transfer between the depot and Pinch Run being made by tha stetmer Prin cess. A number of psssi timers came in by this wsy to see tbe high water. The Courier came up this far easily enough it the isme time that the Andes passed, but ihe was unable to get under the bridge. She ran alongside the trestle at the Baltimore & Ohio power house and transferred her Pitta birth and up-r ver freight to Cleveland A Pittsburgh cars that were ran out ou tbe trestle.

The height of the river on Wednesday, the alarming diipatches from Pittsburgh aud the force with which the creek, already swollen to an unusual height, ran out, bringing down with it ice snd drift, rjaturallv created con siderable excitement in the minds of those living on the lower levels of the city, aud quite as naturally awakened in the minds of old citizens, who witnessed the floods of 1832 aud 1852, remembrancesot those disagreeable times, whether they lived outside the danger line or not. An InTELuaaacaB reporter called on Col. Henry Hubbard at hia saw mill yes terday, and found him keeping a watchful eye on his property, which was surrounded by a boom. A few momenta' conversation was had with him, in the course of which lie said: The flood of 1832, which reached its cul minating point ou the ltth of February of that year, though but a few inches higher thau the one of 1862, was much more de structive, owing, probably, to the fact that the lesson then learned was not entirely for gotten hy 1852 The flood of 1810, occur!ng when the country waa much more sparsely inhabited about the low bottoms, which were avoided on account of malaria, left but few traces and fewer remembrances of low, while those of 1832 and 1852 are yet fresh in the minds of those who witnessed them. The flood of 1832 followed the breaking up of the ice in the river and creek and waa occasioned mostly by melting snow in the mountains, while that of 1?52 was mostly from rain, of which we had three days and nights of aucb ruins an only could have been equaled when Noah had completed hisflatboat. During the flood of 1832 the river at times appeared to be a floating villiage, as a dozen houses were in sight at a time, acoompanied by something of every nature about a house that would float. In one instance there was a hay stack, to the side of which clung a sheep, while at the same time a cock was perched on the top, who evidently enjoyed his ride, ss he frequently flipped bis wings and crowed. Bui the damage was not all done above us on the river, as many homes were swept away from the lower part of the city, and though many hair-breadth escapes were reported, i do not remember any loss of. life. With much that was pathetic there was an occasioual streak of the humorous. An in stance of which was, when an elderly Ger man who kept a teu pin alley and a pig pen on Main, below Twenty-second street, and who had been forced to take refuge on top of the one-story house be occupied, witnessed the loss ot his treasures. Just ss the skiff resched him he cried out ' Ob, meinOott! mein Gott, there goes meins pigs, meina roily polleys and all." Along with the houses that were swept away went the bridges over the creek at Main aud tiixteenth streets, thus severing the ties that had ever been on a strain between the north and south end of the town. These bridges were wooden. The one at Sixteenth street was covered, and on the plan of the one over Back river, and the best that ever spanned the creek at that place. The one at Main street was open and worthless, having been built by the Govern ment in 1819. The floods of April, 1852, though destructive of much property ip the way of lumber, out house*, fences, etc., was much less so in houses, uor did it entail as much suffering, owing to the season. Both ot these floods covered the entire Island with the exception of a small mound ij the yard of the old Berger place. The heights reached by tbeie floods are both marked on the water works building, you know, and the one of 1852 on the lamp post in the middle of the stone bridge over the creek, at about a man's bight above the pavement '1 hat water filled this office we are now in, half way up to the ceiling." Several other old cit'uns told about the water coming up Fourteenth street so as to fill the cellar of the old Hniliben building, corner of Fourteenth and Market streets, now used as a Chinese laundry. Skifft were rowed up to the Exchange barkatepa, and all along Water street. Nearly all agreed that the water of yesterday was probably greater in volume than that of 1832and 1852, but the river ia much wider now, the tanks having been cutaway fearfully by floods in the past, and the flood of 1832 would prob ably not bring the river out of its banks to day. WKMT VIBGIHIA K\ll.ltOAI>S. ? MououifHlin tonnly Man on Ilome En* (erprlae*. A resident of Motion Kalia county, described by the Pittsburgh Dispatch as "one of the moat prominent cltizeus of West Virginia," is ill as reported by that paper of yesterday: One of the most prominent citizens of West Virginia said to a reporter at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday: "The people of West Virginia are awaken ing to the fact that they must have railroads or they must stsgnate. There are one or two railroad* in tbe State, but only one of them, the Chesapeake & Ohio road, penetrates a variable mineral section. "In addition to all the coal we have, the mountains in various places teem with iron ore of a superior quality. James 0. Blaine, Senator Davis, Doiegate Elicins and other prominent capitalist* are now extending a railroed from the Baltimore Ohio at Piedmont to some o' fie tines: coal territory in the world. A man said the other day: 'Henry G. Davis is worth several millions of dollars now, but when he gets to this new coal field of his he will be richer than Vender bill.' James 0. Blaine went over tbe whole of the country south of the Potomac on a horse, and is one of the most enthusiastic be lie vera in the wealth of tbe State in the coon try. -nd has backed his judgment by invest ing largely in coal and timber lands in several counties.'' "What is the immediate object of your busineis here just now ?'? 4,I came partly on private and partly on busineti for my county of Monongalia. We have been trying to get a railroad there for years. Tbe Southwest Pennsylvania road could, if inclined, extend its road from Fair chance, in Fayette county, to tbe Cheat, cross it, and by way of tbe Monongahela valley go to Morgantown, Fairmont and Clarksburg." "What is the distance from Faircbance to the river!" * "Jt is 12 miles to tbe river, thenoe to Mor gantown 10 miles, 25 to Fairmont and 20 to Clarksburg, or a total of about 07 miles. I wish to talk to Mr. Pitcairn this afternoon about this matter and some others. We shall hold an election on the 17th in the county to determine whether or not we shall vote $100, 000 to assist in the construction of a road like tbe one 1 have just described, and $80,000 to as>ist in the construction of the Blacksville and Morgantown road." "Whatis the last named road}" "A narrow gauge road from Blacksville, near Waynesburg, to Morgantown. It is an extension of the Waynesburg and Washing ton road. If this is completed the Union town and Washington will complete to Black ville and thus give us at least a narrow gauge system to Pittsburgh by way of tbe Pittsburgh Bouthern. There have beep sev eral attempts mado to get a vote on this ques Hon but always abortive. Once there was a vote and the matter failed by only a very few votes. This time I think it will carry."

Yesterday about noon the Senate Commit* tee on Mines and Mining was in session in the Senate chamber, having under consideration Senator Fontaine Smith's bili to regulate the management of mines, secure their proper ventilation and require tbe appointment of a State Mine Inspector. Mr. Smith had re quested a veteran miner from Fairmont to appear before the committee and give them the benefit of his experience. Anions other statements, be expressed the opinion that in most mines the ventilation is Imperfect, and noxious gases are formed which are injurious to health aud dangerous to life. After the committee had adjourned. J. \V. St. Clair. Esq , the well known Fuyetto county lawyer, who was representing ?he in tents of the Kanawha Valley mine owners, and opposing the bill before tbe committee, remarked that the rniuer was a rather hale specimen of mankind to have worked forty years in noxious gast-s which were as injuri ous as he had stated. Safd Mr. 8t C.air: ''There is not a gray hair in the man's head, and here is the 8?uator from Marion [Mr. 8mitb] has to dye his hair and whiskers to conceal the ravages of times." This was said in a purely jocular manner, and provoked general lauguter, in which Senator Smith joined. He remarked pleas autly and smiliugly that at home he told his wife and friends that he was only twenty eight years old. This caused renewed laugn ter, and apparently ended the matter. Ina few minutes Mr. St. Clair remarked that be wished tbe Committee would get doae with the bill, as he wished to go home. Mr. Smith retorted that lie guessed the 8enate could get along witliont hiin, and would interpose no serious objection to bis departure. He added: "I have my opinion of paid lobbyist*, any how. I think any man of that kind is as contomptible as a pick-pocket ?'' Mr. St. Clair angnlv demanded: *'Do I understand you to say I am as contemptible as a pick-pocket" lha Heuator responded, repeating his re mark with a mark e J emphasis on "all." Mr. Sinclair at once struck him with his band half closed, on tbe left side of the face. Mr. 8mitb grasped a heavy cut-glas* inkstand, aud drew it back to throw it at bis assailant, but he was prevented from doing so by gen tlemen who were present, and the two gen tlemen left.. Afterwards friends of both gentlemen brought them together, and the matter was amicably explained, and mutual apologies made. THE IIUNTIKUI-ON BUKUI.AK Pardoned out or (lit* l*eul(eulinrjr by Governor JitckNOu. Gov. Jackson yesterday pardoned J. H. Webb, the famous Huntington bank robber, convicted of burglary In 1875, by the Circuit Court of Cabell couniy and sentenced to four teen years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary at Mouudsville. Hh had served about half his term. The pardon was foreshadowed as probable in tbe Moundsvillo correspondence of the Intkllkjkkckr sevaral days ago It was granted on account of Webb's failing health. Representations having been made to the Governor a week or two ago that Webb was suffering from pulmouary disease, and that longer confinement would noccssarily prove fatal, he requested Drs. J. H. Heaves and It. 8. Harvey, of this city, Dr. Barbee, of tbe Senate, and Dr. Bruce, the Penitentiary physician, to examine him thorough ly and report if the statements about his couditon were true. Tbey did so, and corroborated the report*. In addition to this. 8aperintenuent West certified to his good conduct, and expressed the opinion that in his case the ends of justicehad been attained. In addition, a large number of prominent citizens of the Suite, including tbe Prosecu ting Attorney of Cabell county, at tbe time Webb was convicted, the present Attorney, the Judge of the Circuit court and others, petitioned for his pardon, and it was in re sponse to all these petitions and representa tions that the pardon was iasued. The history of Webb's crime and capture is an interesting oue Tbe Huntingion bank was broken into and robbed of a large sum of money. The burglars were pursued, and Webb was captured aud another of the party shot and killed. The latter was recognized as a member of tbe James Brothers' gang of outlaws, and the robbery has always been as cribed to that notorious band. Webb has been very reticent since his contiueiuent, never making any admission or deuial of his alleged connection with the James boys. His history, so far as known, has frequently been printed in the local press, and is familiar to readers hereabout. GREAT FOR PAIN. oym Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Soialjoj, LtMnbiQO, Backicfcp, H?ad|$ie.
