Information has reich 1 the locil oili. cere ot the Texas and St. LjUis road here, from tins headquarter at St. Louis, that la a very few days now the compiuy's pay ear wi'.l.bi lure to p-ij off all employes for the month of Jauuiry. Also that in a very short time ufter thit the employes of the road will receive ail urrearag s due them. The supreme court his grante i Receiver Woodward permission to issue debentures, or ceitiGeates of indebtedness bearing seven per centum inteitst per annum, lor $ 164,000, to be applied to the payment of the debts of the road, contracted before the. receiver wns nppointed. The amount due employes tor tho mouths of November, December and twenty-two days in January, is only $114,000, so that 70,000 willremaim to be applied to the piyiuent of other debts of the road. The road seems now t j be in a fair way to recover itself. The huge wuves occasioned by the strong wind of last evening made some abrasions on th3 new levee. The levee stood about live feet out of the wrier and the wuves were causing some cuviug nearly all along the water line. But hardly had the wind conic up when the perfect organ isation iTooted nuietly over a week ago by the (iuthoritics m, ,theis interested in tho well-fare of the city, w8 set in motion, the plans rando wvre executed, aud before half an hour had elanl from the time tho wind began, there wna ft f.,rce f lllen ,m the pp((t with all the necewry uppliaiices for pro tecting the threatened portions of tho levee against tho action of tho waves, under tho direction of men who were qualified by ex perience to do such work. Tho Illinois Central furnished the conveyance. During lust night a strong force of men partrolled tho levee, and worked when necessary. Thus it will be seen that there has been no apathy on the part of tho authorities, and others upon whom we have largely depend ed in former years for protection against the river' rage. Tho wind subsided al most entirely bufore 9 o'clock last night and with it also tho tho danger to the levee. It i perh ips needless to sy that the authorities aud others iu high positions have taken every necessary precaution against the flood, and will be prepared to act promptly aud effectually in case action shwuld be found necessary. The street committee, tho mayor, Col. Taylor and Su perintendent Jeffrey, of tho Illinois Central railroad, have had conferences in which a thorough understanding was arrived at, and plans of action agreed upon, to be ex ecuted in case it should be necessary. Past experience has taught the people of Cairo, that a combination ot the forces .above re ferred to, backed ly other public spirited men and directed by the best of judgment bisod upon experience, is invincible in a light with the raging flood. Ardent cham pions of low grade may contain Jtlicir timid souls in peace in this, the hour of their tribulations. They and theirs will be protected, as they have been in formes years. The storm of yesterday afternoon un doubtedly added very materially to the dis kless of those already suffering from the flood. Capt. Hiram Hill who came down, til i Ohio with his boat last evening, brought with him about twenty-flve people, all white but two, whom he had rescued from dingerous positions upon various em'iK'uees j'Kt above Eist Cairo, in Ken- tuelty. They bad occupied houses in the neighborhood, which stood iu water to the dkpth'of several fe8t. They considered themselves comparatively safe, and doubt less would have been for a while longer, bur for the ferritin wind storm which swept tile houses, to the number of five, away and aided the rapid current in dishing them to pieces against trees aid carrying them in frtignunts down the river. The peopie managed. to s ive themselves, it seems, a va rious ways. Thirteen of the rescued were found by Capt. Hill, huddled together in a corn crib that had maintained its founda tion, wniting anxiously for a rescuer. Capt. Hill brought the poor people here and helped them to tind rufugo for tho night. M udav the trial of David Burko was resumed in the circuit court and was con eluded about noon, the jury finding a ver dict of "not guilty." Burke was charged with burglarizing Reach's stand on Eighth street and though ho was not, likn Runner, caught by tho officers in the act of robbing the place, ho was seen iu company with Runner frr several hours previous to the burglt ry and not half an hour before his arrest in front of tho burglarized premises in which Runuer was at tho time engaged in packing up "booty;" he was seen to enter the Rough & Ready engine-house withRun- er, with tho evident purpose of reaching the back entrance ofResch's house, through which, it was afterwards discovered, Run ner had gained euttauue. These circuuutau oes were sworn to tty three uiiiinpeaehed and unimpeachable witnesses; yet, when ar rested, Burke denied all knowledge of Runner's whereabouts :md said he had not .seen him that night, Tho jury probably reasoned, that, as there was no evidence before them that Runner was guilty of the crime charged ftgnintt him, except that he "jumped bail" to avoid trial, therefore the fact that Burke was setn in his company just previous to the commission of the crime auJ was arrested almost on the premises where, aud at the very time when, the crime was being committed, was not good on ofof his complicity in the crime. This trinl concluded, the court took up the case of Mr. Geo. Jones, or "Jay Gould" as he is called ly the olricers, a negro who is charg ed with practicing an ingenious confidence game upon a number of "innocent" colored people. His trial was concluded about noon ; he wbs found guilty aud his punish ment fixed at three years in the "pen." Court took up no other corse in the after noon, but disposed tt some minor business and adjourned until this murning, for which the case of the negro woman Cotton, cln.rged with poisoning the negro family 0.1 Fifteenth street, is set.

In December hist an anonymous letter waa received by In spector Byrnes at police headquarters say ing that two met had robbed aeveral per sons ou t'i.'tli avenue between Twenty-tlfth and Twenty-ninth streets in broad daylight. Tin unknown writer represented that one of tbe tuievf represented himself a a cen tral otllee detective and in pretending to search tbe victim would take from him all the valuables on his person. The detectives nenttolnvestig-.no the matter could find no one who would acknowledge having hei-u robbed In the manner described. On February 10, John Day, a batter, of No. VA Park Row, called upon Inspector Byrnes and said that bo was walking along Fifth avenue on the previous night, when a well-dressed, pleasant-spoken yming man politely asked him tho way to the Gramercy 1'arK Hotel. "I am going In that direction myself, '' aid Mr. Day, "and will guldd j uu wttli pleasure. " The young man ex pressed his thanks and began a conversa tion so lively that Mr. Day did not notice a second stranger, who was walking a few steps behind him. Suddenly, however, the halter felt powerful bands upon his elbows, and before he could move or make any outcry his gold watch anil chain, a silk umbrella, $11 In cash, a diamond -pin and a pair of eye-glasses were taken from bim by the young stra iger, who with his ac complice then ran away. Last Tuesday Mr. Augustine E. i. Oelnehs, who lives in Unlink, n, and docs business at No. 158 W iter street, was LOOKING IS THIS WINDOW of Blank's Jewelry store al Fifth avenue and Twenty -eiehih street, when a well modulated voice at his elbow said, "those are v-firy nlco diamonds, nirf" "Yen, " replied Mr. Oelrlehn, turning ami seeing a suiooth-faced youth who hud the appearance of a geuileiuun. 'Mining down town!'" inquired the stranger. "A little way. " "So am I. Perhaps you will not object to my company for a few blocks. ' ' "Not in the least," said Mr. Oeiricti. They mopped and looked iu a second Jeweler's window, and Mr. Oelrichs made a futile effort to rid himself of bin loquaci ous companion. Then they eontlnuod to walk down the avenue until they came to Nineteenth street, where they young mau suddenly cav.ght Mr. Oelrichs hy tbe arm and called out, "OHicer Uutton." A muscular, surly looking rutllau then ap proached, aud, grasping Mr. Oelrieh' col lar, said: "What has he done?" ' "Arrest him! Arrest him!" exclaimed the smooth-faced man with great apparent excitement. "He tried to commit an as sault upon me. " The denials and expla nations of Mr. Oolrichu wero unelesa. lie wa informed by "OrBccr Button" that tie bad attempted a crime and that it would take r25 to lis the thing. "But I have not that amount with me," protested the lloboken man. . ".No matter wa the business-like reply, "L'll take what you've got and will call on you foj-tbe balacce.

On Saturday tbe young man wi,o had caused Mr. Oelrieh's "arrest" calicii tipou him at his place of business for the balanco of the .fjo. He said he did not have It. "Horrowlt then," Kald the young man. "I cannot; I know nf no one-who would lend me f 12,." replied Mr. Oelncbs. "Well," said tbo thief, "you bad better do something pretty quickly, for Ulticer liuttoiiB is waiting outside and will arrest you if you don't come down with tbo cash." Mr. OelricbB ukked if bis persecu tor would not meet bim in. the reading room of ibo Fifth Aveuuo Hotel at 8 o'clock last evening. "I can't do that," said the blackmailer. 'Tho placo is too public, but I'll meet you on the corner outside." To this Mr. Od. rlulis agreed and subsequently notltled In spector Byrnes.
