apparently from Col. Tosey'i farm, li ffie
Inundated district. Suddenly a violent
wind-storm sprang up and the waves
swept over the boats. They triad to face
the wind, but were swept into the rough of

Heavy wind and rain all night
has swollen local streams and baffles those
trying to relieve tbe sufferers. The de
moralisation and selfishness visible in every
great and Irreslstable public calamity has
begun; even the wsaltby now subscribe
sparingly to the relief funds. Tbe city is
quiet t even the criminal and tbe lawless
sre subdued, mree feet more of water
will make Covington an Island and put
Newport wholly under water. The sltuatlo:
ihereti appalling. Twenty-aaven bouses

Tb Cleveland life-saving crew arrived

Covington and Newport.
Lebanon, Ohio, telegraphs ow for tbe

reached by telegraph.
TERRIBLE SUSPENSE.
The suspense over the failure to hear
definite news from Lawrenceburg, ina
grows painful, but Is tempered by the be
lief that If a serious disaster, involving
lose of life, had occurred, some means
would have bean found to get word from
Lawreneeburg to Aurora, where it the

MANY FLOATING BOUSES.
- The Times-Star's Aurora special says
"At 10 a, m. there ti no news from Law

falling, with tbe wind from the northwest .
A Signal Service flag denoting the coming
of cold weather floats to-day for tbe third
time since the flood began. Hitherto Its
presence was welcomed, now it brings tbe
utmost apprehensions. Cold weath
er eouiu nave no substantial
effect on tbe water disaster. That has
about done lu worst, but with cold
weather tbe Imprisoned people In all the
towns and cities along the Ohio would suf
fer terribly for want of fuel. Few realize
the difficulty of getting supplies delivered.
There are no landings for steamers and tbe
damage done to buildings by waves caused
by punalUL' steamers has bsen so great as to
cause tbe occupants of tbe flooded bouses
to fire on the steamers bringing them
relief.
No relief boat has yet been sent out from

expected here this evening to take charge
of tbe work of relief, under tbe direction ol

ST. LOCIS POST OFFICE.
No Appointment so be Xatde at Pres
ent. St. Louis, Feb. 13. Eoougb has been
written and dlspatobed from Washington
about the appointment of a postmaster at
St. Louis to succeed Samuel Hays to fill a
volume. Tbe major part of It has been
mere gush or braggadocio In tbe interest of
one or another of the several candidates.
One day It was Fishbaoh, the next Wells,
and again Bennet, and then some other
anxious expeotant. During all this time
the President has held bis peaoe and kept
bis own council, but bas been watching tbe
course of events in St. Louis, and it Is
now quite safe to assert that
the political mission of Van Horn st
Washington Is ended so far as tbe St.
Louis postoffloe Is concerned. During bis
term he demanded of President Garfield,
because he was the only Republican mem
ber of Congress from Missouri and was re
fused, the control of all the federal
appointments In tbe State. This was the
name claim as that made upon. President
L;ncolln by Senator Henderson, and dis
allowed. Van Horn was only allowed bis
own district. No greater Stickler for
tbe right of a Congressman to be consulted
ever existed. A year ago be was demanding
that bosslsm should be eradicated and in
sisting upon the right of Congressman Mo
Lean to control and to be oonsulted upon
l St. Louli appointments. Q Now Van
H n has sought to ignorecLean and has
utiled. There will be no appointment
made In tbe Interest of Van Horn, the G.
D., Henderson and others. The visit of
the river delegates to tbe White House has
developed a singular indifference to har
mony in Missouri politics and shown
a factious personal spirit Father than any
regard for the success of the Republican
party. Wbeu this faction shows a regard
for Republican unity they may be listened
to, but at present they are considered fit
subjects to be schooled lu tbe line of party
discipline, and as a whole, regarded upon
their individual records, as disposed to
keep up division. Our advices to bo relied
upon are, that no appointment will be
made at present, notwithstanding tbe
G.-D. or any other specials to the contrary.
Van Horn pan safely go home.

KNOCKED OUT.
Charges Against Tom Allen, the Pugi
list, Dismissed,
Sensational Developments The Prose
cution Accused of BlMckmatiL
St. Louis, Feb. 13. -Tom Allen, tbe
ex-cbamplon pugilist of America, was
prompt to appear In the Court ol Correc
tion this ra rntng. He was aocompanied
by Joseph Schneider, one of bis bondsmen,
and was represented by Messis. Krum and
Turner, llouhtstor Ford aoted as counsel
for Wilaon J. Farrell, who Is at the bottom
of the movement to have Allen taken to
Kentucky. Mr. Farrell sat behind bis at
torney, using a toothpick vigorously
throughout
THE rROCEEUI.VOS.
The cue was opened by Mr. Ford stating
that the anticipated requUitiou not having
arrived, be would atk to bave a
warrant Issued charging Allen with
being a fugitive from Justice.
He bad learned at the p.wtottlee that tbe
Frankfort mails bad been very much de
layed by tbe floods. A telegram hud been
received by Mr. Farrell saying that the re
quisition was forthcoming. It was dated
the lOtti; meantime a warrant, as .stated,
was wanted. Mr. Turner asked that the
telegram be produced. It was at Mr.
Ford's office. Allen's counsel then argued
that be was entitled to a discharge, He bad
been arrested by the chief of police on Sat
urday, admitted to ball, and was present
to answer sny charge that might be pre
ferred against him. Mr. Krum alleged that
the prosecution was not bona fl le, but
made for ulterior purposes peculiar to tbe
individual who was behind It. After Mr.
Krum had explained that by Kentucky law
his client could only be charged
with a misdemeanor, and that
it would be impossible for Uov. Crittenden
to honor such acquisition. Mr. Ford com
bated tbis proposition, but the court sus
tained It, announcing that so many canes of
the kind bad been disposed of that tbe law
was familiar toevury praotttloner In tbe
court.
A SENSATION.
Prosecuting Attorney Claiborne then fired
a bomb into the Farrel camp. He secured
permission to make a personal state
ment, and said that since this action bad
been preferred against Allen, counsel
for tbe latter bad placed some doc
uments in bis possession tending to
show that the proseoutlon was not bona
fide. Among tbesr was a receipt In part
payment of Allen's indebtedness to Far
rell, and a written contract signed by Far
rell in satisfaction of the loss to which be had
been put by tbe bond forfeiture. These
and other communications had forced Col.
Claiborne Into the belief that if Allen would
pay up In full no requisition would be
forthcoming. He did not feel that he could
lend himself to anything that eould be con
strued as equivalent to aiding I n tbe col
lection of a debt, and desired to apprise the
court of these later devel 'pinouts. Mr.
Ford, who was visibly agitated by these
revelations, asserted that tbe pepseoution
had been undertaken In good faith. Tbe
prosecuting attorney's statement woe
equivalent to an accusation of blaokmall.
The charge, however, was bona fide, and
such a thing as a compromise had never
even bxa hinted at in bis presenoe.
TURNER TO THE FRONT.
Mr. Turner then bad bis say. He pulled
two documents from a side pocket in bis
pantaloons, and proceeding bis remarks
with tbe statement that bis oilent bad re
ceived the anonymous communication,
proceeded to read them as follows:
City, Feb. 18, '84.
Mr. Allen: I am a friend of yours hut
you are making a big mistake. I know
that the requisition will be here and you are
going back to Kentucky unless you settle
with Terrell. Take my advice before tbe
warrant is sworn our. Tbe lawyers are on
ly getting your money and you will be a
goner sure. See Ford at once before too
late and settle it someway. I will see you
after this is over.

JUDGE NOONAN'S DECISION.
After the reading the felony-misdemeanor
phase of tbe question again came up, tbe
Court asraln alleging that Mr. Ford was
mistaken In tbe law and that the authori
ties quoted by him were not sound. In
disposing of tbe case Judge Noonan said tbe
only question before blm was whether he
should discharge the defendant or not. The
length of time provided when the bond to
answer was signed was unusually long.
He taw no reason why It should be ex
tended or why tbe defendant should be
longer held, especially in view of
the statement made by the prosecuting
officer that It was his conviction the prose
cution, uot on Mr. Ford's part, however,
was for the purpose of aiding and abutting
in the collection of a debt. Tbe Judge
took occasion to exonerate oounsel for the
prosecution entirely, and then stated that
it behooved his client in the event of his
insisting on obtaining a warrant against
Allen to establish to the court by
affi.hvit that his objeot was legiti
mate. ALLEN DISCHARGED.
Allen was thon discharged and his bonds
mcu released from their responsibilities.
There Is every reason to believe that tbe
efforts to get him to Kontucky bare failed
for all time, the ulterior purpose of the
present proseoutlon baring been made
as plain as a pike stuff by the de
velopments TRAIN DITCHED.

Sedalia, Mo., Feb. 13. The Missouri
Repullcan, In a telegram from Jefferson
City the other day, published a very ro-
mantlo ttory of a lost heiress, who wu
being searched for by Dr. W. P. King of
tblt city. When Dr. King returned from
Jefferson City, a reporter of the Sedalta
Democrat called on blta for further details
of tbe whereabouts of Miss Melton, the
young lady who, if found, ia to come lot
so much money.
"Doctor, bave you seen to-day's Repub
lican wli h tbe story of tbe lost heiress of
Sedalia In Itf" asked tbe reporter.
"No, I bave not, though I expected tt. "
And then tbe doctor leaned baok and
laughed until be was out of breath. Con
tinuing he said: "That, sir, Is a novel In
one chapter and my own creation. It took
me Just five minutes by the watch to make
It."
"You don't mean to say It It all a hoax,
do you, dootorf"
"Well, you may call it a hoax, but I call
It a novel. It originated in this manner t I
bave been to Jefferson City twice lately and
on business of a very private nature. As
soon as I got there each time the reporters
began to pipe me off In order to And out
wbat I was after. When tbe
Legislature is not In session,
if a stranger goes to Jefferson
City everybody thinks he is on some politi
cal business. Several persons came to me
tbis time In the Interests of tbe reporters
and, of course, I oould not tell them.
Finally after supper the Republican's Jef
ferson City correspondent tent a doctor to
mo to find out my business. Seeing bow
all things were at tbe capitol, I felt terry
for tbe correspondent, and when 1 feel lor
ry for anybody I am generally ready to help
them. This I did in bis case. I went to
tbe clerk's desk, prooured paper and In
about five minutes made tbe story of the
Sedalia heiress, and at once sent it to tbe
correspondent by tbe doctor. I did not
charge anything for It, for It did not cost
any extraordinary wear of cerebral verti
cal substauoe."
"Tben you reallv sold tbe eorroipoudtat
of the Republican?"
"Well, I suppose you stay put It that
way, though he ought not to to conttdoi
it. News was scarce and I gave him as

Anything about a lost girl slwats oreates a

regret about tbe matter Is that from the
time tbat has elapsed slnoe I gave blm this
item, I am sure that tho correspondent bat
been hunting for the lost heiress. I am
sorry to make anybody who lives In Jeffer
son City take exercise, for It is liable to
make them sick 1" And then the doctor
took another hearty laugh and didn't look
a "bit" sorry.
