FEAE3 OF A FLOOD- The Ohio Eiver Likely to Eise aud Flood the Valley. Cincinnati. O., Feb. 27. The1 rainfall here during the twelve hours ending at 8 o'clock tonight was one-sixteenth of an inch., and it was the same at Louisville. The Allegheny and Monongahela rivers at points south of the Ohio are reported sta tionary or falling. The Ohio river down to Point Pleasant, at the mouth of the Kanawha, was reported stationary or ris ing very slowly. At all points below Point Pleasant it was reported lisiag from one o one and a half inches per hour. It has been rising here since 7 o'clock at the rate of an inch an hour, and at 10 o'clock tonight ii was fifty-live feet and eleven jind one-half Inches and still rising. If the precipitation injthpnext twenty-four hours should be as great in the Ohio valley as has been at Memphis and Nashville from the storm approaching herefrom that di rection, it will doubtless cause a third ureal flood. In that case tho river would be at its maximum about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The situation has a dangerous look. A TJUBMEN" MESSENGEB. Unable to Give Warning of the Avful Disaster Impending. PRESCOTT, Ariz.. Feb. 27. Two prospec tors, Moses aud Robert Moore, who havo arrived from the upper Walnut Grove flam, give the following particulars of the late disaster: "We came up to the Hassayampa pros- picting and pissed a number of parties on tlie way who must inevitably Have oeen , hist. Tlmrsdav wn arrived at the dam. Friday morning the water in the dam was rising at the rate of eighteen inches an hour, with all the sluices open. Superin tendent Thomas Brown had fifteen men employed all day in blasting out the waste waterway to allow the escape of the water. Despite the immense volume which lent through the water continued to rise until 9 o'clock at night, when it began to pour over the top of the dam. In the afternoon Superintendent Brown said the flam must inevitably go; he sent a messen ger to the lower dam to notify them of I he danger but he stopped at a saloon on tho road, and becoming intoxicated, failed to deliver the message. Next morning another messenger was sont but was over taken and drowned by the flood just as he uea red the lower camp. About midnight we were awakened by Brown calling to his foreman: 'Get up Phil: 1 think the dam has broken.' Soon after there was a tremendous roar which was indescribable and we arose and looking out saw the Water rushing out of the dam and inside of two hours it. had disappeared entirely from v here it was from sixty 10 ninety feet deep. Francis M. Parker was one of the men rescued from a perilous position about daybieak. Parker and his partners had gone to bed. When ho whs awakened he heard one of his partner.-' exclaim: 'My God, what was thatl' He (Parker) never saw them again. He wa caught up by the water and was lifted 10 the roof of the cabin where he clung to the rafters, while the cabin, after floating around, was drift d against the bluff, where he grabbed some bushes and drag ged himself up on tne clilT.

Dom Pedro said the Republicans had done him great in justice.

He believed though, that the Republicans would be able to govern the country, because the Brazilians' are a patriotic people, in case of future complication'; and a call from the people to return to the throne, Dom Pedro said he would respond. He would not, bow ever, do anything to cause strife among the people. About the future of himself and family lie had no opinion to express. There was no reason why the members of his family should abandon their claims to the throne. "But," lie added, "the facts have consum mated and the facts have force for the present." He believed that, because it would maintain the union under the new order of things." "For us." he said, "the nation the fatherland is above all and before all."

Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 27. On applica tion of D E. Saighmau, a local capitalist, Judge Gibson today appointed R. H. Stewart receiver for the Midland Theater company. Saighnian holds the notes of the company to a considerable amount and he charges misconduct on the part of the management, in not turning ouer to the treasurer the daily receipts. Manager Keiller. of the theater company, while denying the charge of mismanagement and mi-conduct, did not contest the appli cation for a receiver. The liabilities of the company are about $17,000, mostly due to creditors who refurnished the house, which was converted from a cyciorama into a theater. The house will not be closed.

THE DEATH PENALTY. A Murderous Libertine Swings from the Gallows. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 27. Thomas O'Brien, the murderer of Bettie Siiea, was hanged at 11:59 a. m. He never weakened for an instant aud died protesting his in nocence. His neck was dislocated by tiie fall. The crime for which Thomas O'Brien, Jr., was hanged was the murder of his wife and her unborn babe on the night of March 31, 18S9. O'Brien was 2S years of age and for several years his chief occupa tion had been gambling. One night he shot and killed young Henry Met calf, but for that killing he was acquitted. Shortly after being adjudged free he met Bettie Shea, a beautiful girl about 23 years of age. He persuaded the mrl to marry him and clandestinely they went to Cincinnati and were married under assumed names. In the meantime O'Brien was engaged to marry Mrs. Hattie Loughlin, who lived in Richland, Ind., aud at the Mime time was intimate with a fallen women named Lizzie Adams. During March it became evident to Bettie Shea that the time was fast approaching when her marriage must; be made public. She besought O'Brien time and again to acknowledge her as his wire before rhe world, but he put her off on some pretext or other. The time he had set to marry Mrs. Loiiehlin was drawing near. He was also deeply attached to the Adams woman. On tho morning of April 1 last, the body of Bettie Shea, clad in her night clothes, was discovered lying in her room by Mr. Wuolf oik's old colored cook. She had been beaten to death with a heavy piece of lead which was afterwards found at tho hou.io of Lizzie Adams, whre O'Brien was arrested. All through his f f?

The victim is Uncle Joe Johnson, who on Sun day night last was called to tho road in front of his house by a man whose voice he thought he recognized. Still he took his gun with him. His wife saw a man on horseback in the road fire, and saw her husband fall. The assassm galloped away. Johnson had incurred the enmity of the Hatlields by disclosing a, plan of escapu by Mounts and another of their set, aud his life had been threatened. SHOT DEAD BY ROBBERS XEW Yokk, Feb. 27. The body of Rob ert A. Smith, a merchant of this place, was found this morning in the cellar of las house with a buliet hole through the heart. He had evidently been murdered aud as the pockets of the dead man had oeen emptied and some drawers up stairs ran sacked, robbery was, no doubt, the motive. A revolver was fouud Iving beside the bo.ly and a search revealed the fact that a small door leading from the cellar under an out stair hail been icmoved. Mr. Smith was recently married.

Master Lincoln May Come Out All Eight' The Mortality List London. Feb. ' 27. Master Abraham Lincoln,, son of Robert Lincoln, the.Amer ican minister, who it was' thougnt was dying last night, has rallied. The abscess from which he is sufficing waslanced bv his physicians during the night and much .relief was afforded' jto him by the opera tion. His physicians state that his vital ity is wonderful. Iriquifv at the residence of 3Ir. Lincoln at 2:50 o'clock this after noon elicted the information that the pa tient at that hour appeared to be further rallying. At 4:50 o'clock this afternoon it was an nounced that the only chance Master Lin coln lias for his life lies in another opera tion. The operation is of a desperate char acter. Mr. Lincoln stated this afternoon that the doctors say his son surprised rfll about him by not only surviving the night but by having sufficient streugth this morning to permit the tapping operation being per formed, which greatly relieved the heart and lungs from effusion. It was pro nounced that this operation, because of the patient's feeble condition, would be fatal, but it has at least temporarily re versed the hopelss condition ot the patient. Additional measures were taken this after noon to prevent a dangerous accumulation of pus. Another operation was performed which afforded great relief to the patient. A drain was inserted in the affected part and the matter is now flowing freely from it. Though Master Lincoln is still in great danger, his physicians aud parents are not without hope of his recovery. In couse queuce of an erroneous report having been sent to the United States to the effect that Mr. Lincoln's son was dead, a large num ber of cablegrams of sympathy and con dolence from the United States were re ceived today by the minister and he re quests the Associated Press to express his own and Mrs. Lincoln's appreciation of such kind regard and good will. Mr. Lin coln's son is now resting easily. COMMODORE WHITE DEAD. Washington, Feb. 27. Commodore George B.

The Enterprise's Commander Will Have One, Ccmmittting Grave Offenses- New Yokk, Feb. 27. Not since the days when the brig Sommers came into the port of Xew York after Captain McKiuzie had hanged Spencer, the son of the secretary of the navy, has a ship of war in time of peace arrived here that has been the ob ject of so general interest as the Enterprise, which came in today after a cruise of two years and seven months on the European station. Com mander Bowman II. McCalla is her com manding officer, and tiiis is his first com niaud afloat. It will be a memorable one in naval history. Life aboard the Enter prise for officers and men was described by one of her ship's company yesterday as having been oue continual round of "from hell to breakfast and bckagaiu." Amoug tho incidents of the cruise which will illustrate the state of affairs on board is the following: When the ship was at Christina a fireman named Walker got drunk, came on board and was put in irons. Captain McCalla had him brought to the mast. When the officer ot the deck ques tioned the man Walker replied that he was "drunk and glad of it." Thereupon Can tain McCalla ordered the officer ot the deck to cut the man down with his sword. The officer refused. Captain McCalla, going into the cabin, buckled on his sword and had the man brought 011 deck again. The man was brought up in irons and the captain, drawing his sword, cut him down, deluging the deck with blood and so severely injuring the man that tne sur geon had to be immediately summoned to attend td his wouuds. Wheu Captain McCalla makes his report to the authori ties at Washington, this will doubtless all be explained. Iu various ports Cap tain McCada seems to have been unfor tunate, amoug them in Dartmouth, Eng land, where ha had a squabble with the authorities in regard to a small bill for harbor privileges.

A curious theory of murder has prevailed with tho governor of Kentucky in obtaining tho pardou of W. B. Tompkin, sentenced to prison for life in 1SS7 for the murder of Sam uel Purdy. The tw o men were warm friends and had roomed together for several years. Cries were heard from their bedroom one night, and Tompkins was found standing in middle of the room gapping for breath, while Purdy lay murdered on tho bed. Tompkins gasped: "He's gone out tho door."' but the door was closed and no trace of any one was discovered. In a corner of tho room was a poker covered with blood and hair. Accord ing to Tompkins he had been aroused fay some 0:10 striking across him at Purdy, who lay at the bark side of the bed. and had seized the assailant, who had broken away. Purdy 's money. 000, was untouched, and Tompkins veheaic-ntly protested his innocence to the last.

We know so little of the scenic beauties of our country that every year surprises us with a new revelation. jThe rock sculptures of the Teach Spring canyon of the Colorado river ore marvels winch very few Americans have seen. The length of the canyon is .125 miles, and the highest cliffs rise to 7,S00feet. Some of the principal nuns tbiswprd seems to bo the oniy word -to apply to them have been named from time to time, and for the most part with fitness. Ono is Solomon's Temple, another The Pyramid, another Sunset Peak, and still others The Sphinx, Westminster Abbey and Tho Beehive. Solomon's Temple is considerably over a mile high, and the denudation and wearing of the rock by water has been such that it represents an enormous pile of architecture, with sculptured bastions, harmonious in its proportions, with great terraces at its base, and growing smaller toward the top. On the very top, in the center, is a pyramidal peak in exact propoptions. This sculptured pile is from two to four miles across the facade, and to see these things standing up and against the clear, cloudless blue of the Arizona sky, produces an indescribable effect. Sunset Peak goes up like a dome 6,000 feet, j and, when the sun sets clear and has entirely ) disappeared behind the mountains, its reflect ed light rests on this topmost peak and trans forms it into a minaret of gold a heavenly light indeed. Another architectural piece goes by tho name of Babel's Toner, and is 5,000 feet high, and this has beautiful sculptured but tresses. The Castle on tho Rhine is the same height. The Pyramid is 4.200 feet above the river, and tho river is 1,120 feet above the sea. Some of these cliffs of oven terraces and strata rise almost perpendicularly to a height ot U,5W feet, and as high up as the eye can detect a variety of plants, including cacti, perch and thrive in tho crevices. Somo va rieties of flowers bloom the year round in tho canyon, so mild is the temperature, even in mid-winter. Of course it is impossible for any visitor to appreciate tho magnitude of this scene of ruin and desolation. The chimney on the top of a perfect pyramid, that was sixty feet squnre by actual measurement, looks to ba the size of an ordinary chimney. The full beauty of Westminstor Abbey, and its likeness to its venerable, ivy grown name sake, is very striking, only it is a far mora wonderful structure. Just before reaching it, and on the same side of the canyon, is the Temple of Jupiter, and it is unquestionably ono of if not the finest parts of the canyon. It is a mighty pile of stupendous harmony and sculpturing, the central facade bearing a multitude of sphinxes and classical images. On tho opposite side is "Moses Striking the Bock," the outline of the great statuo at one point being very lifelike. On the top of one cliff is The Prophet at Prayer a kneeling figure with ontstretched hands; and there are many features not yet named awaiting christening from the clever and acuto visitors yet to come. Golden Days. In;j Keeping of Apples. Winter apples of tho best keeping sorts may be kept until summer apples aro avail able. Of course, perfectly sound apples must bo selected a small bruise or decayed spot cannot bo allowed. A temperature iust abovo tho freezing point, and equable, is I essential. Fruits do not keep so well warm temperature, and fluctuations are even more to be avoided. This should be observed in keeping apples I tor use during winter and early spring, and for this reason it is best to havo tho fruit room disconnected from the cellar, or at least separated from tho rest of tho cellar by a partition. If a brick partition cannot be afforded, ono of matched boards will answer. Sliding sash will unable ono to regulate the temperature. The fruit room should always contain a reliable thermometer. Select the apples for long keeping in tho late fall or early winter, and wrap tissue pa per around each apple. Bought in quantity this paper is cheap, and soveral bushels can be wrapped in an hour. Place the apples on shelves, stems up. Or, what is perhaps a better plan, pack tho apples down in firo dried sawdust or bran, chaff or land plaster. The fruit may bo packed in either kegs, barrel or boxes. First make a layer of chalF, or whatever is used, an inch thick; then a layer of apples, stems up; fill all spaces with tho chaff, and then a layer of chaff, and so on. Apples fo packed will keep nicely m an outhouse with three or four feet of straw thrown over them. Tho barrels or boxes should rest on the ground. The apples to bo kept late should be assort ed out in the early spring and placed in a room that can be kept cool one that can bo opened up to admit tho cool night air and closed tight during the heat of the day. American Agriculturist. Tho Great Silver Spring. "I drove out to the great Silver Spring, in the Oclawaha, yesterday, and if I could I would fain havo stayed for hours floating on its surface, looking down into tho iridescent i depths," writes a correspondent of The Bt- ton Transcript from Florida. "Ono cannot describe it. The basin is immense. There are many springs in one, and all have a dif ferent beauty.

The pearls of the Empress Augusta were famous, but are inferior to those now pos sessed by the Duke of Cumberland, which arc the finest in Europe.

Different Geyacrs and Opening of Others The Tempest. I accompanied a party consisting of Mrs. J. Amory, Miss Anna, her daughter, and S. B., her son, of Fond du Lac, Wis., and Mrs. E. C. Waters, of Billings, Hon., on a tour of exploration. Our purpose on leaving the Grand canyon was to visit the scene of a recent eruption caused by tho earthquake at the Black vol canic basin, situated about midway between the Grand canyon and Yellowstone lake. On approaching tho volcanic basin the day we left the lake, we saw vast clouds of vapor rising at a point south and east of the Belcher. Quickening the speed of our horses, we reached the field of action in time to witness one of the most phenomenal exhibitions of volcanic energy to be met with in this land of wonders where everything is phenomenal. There is a circular basin about one hundred and fifty yards in diameter, in tho center of which is a crater about sixty feet in circum ference and about fifteen feet in depth. Out of this crater ascended dense clouds of steam that was given off in successive puffs. TUE STUD BELCHEU. At first so dense was the vapor we could only hear the commotion in the caldron, as if a thick pudding were slapped against the wall by a gigantic mason's trowel. At one point w e saw what seemed like a huge black tongue or an enormous paint brush, resem bling the switch used by a blacksmith tokoop off flics, only a thousand times larger, shoot out beneath the cloads and reach twenty-five feet up the sloping crater, then slowly re cede, leaving a thick coat flf dark, slimy paint on tho wall. For a few seconds the wind came in puffs and forced back the cloud. This mud volcano has evidently been inactive for several hundred years. The outsido wall rises from tea to twenty feet and is composed of the same pitchy substance as that seen at the point of present activity. There is a channel through which this mud once flowed down into tho Yellowatone river. Both walls are composed of the same ma terial, and tho quantity discharged during former eruptions must have been enormous. The eruptions occur at intervals of about an horn and continue until these waves of mud make the circuit of the crater. Terrific as tho exhibition of energy now is it is insignifi cant compared with what it must havo been nlien it sent its torrid lava in a continuous stream twelve feet wide and six feot deep into the river over a thousand yards distant. On tho following day v.e went from the Lower Geyser Basin hotel to see an early eruption of tho Fountain geyser. Tho Evan geline geyser in the Paranasus basin never fails to excite tho wonder and admiration of tho tourist when attention is called to it. It is heart shaped and has a beautifully silicated border with two graceful curves that resem ble the double lobes of a heart as drawn by St. Valentino artists. Ko contrast cm be greater than that which we saw iu the Evangeline and that which we saw a few moments later in the new geyser situated about two hundred yards east of the Thanatopsis, or about four hundred yards trom tho hotter known Fountain geyser. E fore reaching the Paranasus basin, and as we swept around the western base of Porcupine butte, Mrs. Amory called attention to a con tinuous discharge of steam that rose to an immense height about a mile distant, and suggested tho propriety of hastening in order to seo au eruption of tho Fountain. Know ing well the location of tho Fountain geyser, I had no hesitation in deciding that the great steam discharges we were witnessing could not be that of the Fountain, but must be an entirely now outbreak, caused doubtless by the earthquake. Nor could I remember seeing anything in that neighborhood that could possibly havo developed into a great steam-aqueous geyser of tho first magnitude, except the Bat's Wing, a quiet geyser of the gas-aqueous variety, and one that had been growing less and less every year from the fact that the two wings of the twin lake that composed it had been steadily depositing a whito silicate substance resembling isinglass. This deposition going j on much faster m winter, indicated, judging from the rapidity with which the lakes havo been diminishing since 1SS.1, that in a few years tho Bat's Wing would become a subter ranean lake, frozeu over, so to speak, by the accumulating deposits. THE TEMPEST. On reaching the scene of activity we soon realized that there was much moro than steam. Thero was a turbulent roar as of great waves dashing against each other, im mediately after which wave after wave swept outward and drove us from tho position we had taken. Then thero was a moment's lull, nt which timo wo followed tho receding waves a few yards, to be driven back as soon as tho seething caldron had accumulated fresh energy to hurl again its colliding waves into the air and outward iu a vast circidar bweep of over ISO yards, As the sun rose higher we got an occasional glimpse of the great torrid waves that dashed into each other and roe to tho height of over sixty feet, or it might have been oveu twice that height, as it was impossible to see how far these waves ascended amid the dense i clouds that envelopod them, as mountain peats aro often hidden in misty mantles of gray, 'What a terrific tempest P I exclaimed. addressing Mrs. Amory, tho lady who liad been the first to call attention to thi3 new and extraordinary pjisher. "It is a tempest, indeed," sho replied, "and," added Mrs. Waters, "it could have no more suitable name if you were to hunt the encyclopedias for a month." And amid the roar cf the contending waves, hurled from a subterranean boiling sea, wo concurred in naming it the Tempest geyser. Before leaving the Tempest I instituted a search for rhe twin lase taat I had named tho Bat's Wmg geysor as long ago as lbSJ; but it was nowaere to be found. The infer ence to b" drawn from ail tho fact? is that it had been buned by a process of self Sealing, and that the subterranean gases at this and other points were powerful enough when their outlets aro closed to cause an earth quake and culminate in just such exhibitions of volcanic energy as that seen at the Hurri cane and Whirlpool geysers in the Sorns bajn, the Black volcano on the Yellowstone river, the Excelsior i. a, Hell's Half Acre -on the west side of the Flrehole river, And ths mre recent Tsap on ths eart rie of th same river and afcoot three miles lowr down.
