ed by the Southern tributaries of tho
Ohio haWesultedlnia perfeirt flood ia
all those streams. As a consequence,
r.n immense volume of water will bo
pOured bul into the Ohio within tho
next few days
At the headwaters of the Monon
gahela river, '<> ?tage of 10 feet and risr
ing was reposjtcd. This should result
in .?'< least twelve feet of water at
Pittsburgh; and the sending north of
all the coal now loaded up that stream,
which will likely aggregate at
least- seven or eight j?l?ion bush?
els it is the first'" tiino in a year
that there has been a rise to speak of
in that stream, others having como
dlmo t entirely froin the Allegheny.
At Charleston, W. Va., on the Kar.a
wha ?vor, a rise of 1 Infect has oc?
curred during the twenty-four hours
ending Saturday evening, and a still
greater rise was assured,'as the river
.was still rising at the headwaters
oi" the stream. ? At Pikeviila, Kyi]
the headwaters of the Big Sandy
river, where for most of the year
"pu?hboats" drawing only four to six
inches, find navigation difficult, a stage
of r,o feet was reported Saturday night
ana still raising. Kentucky river was
also on a rampage, a rise of 11 foot dur?
ing the day being reported at Frank?
fort. One and two days* of heayjr rain.|
in ail this Feet!on has been followed by
heavy Know falls, which for themost
part melted ;\ > fastas-it fell Straday.
With snow already in the mountains in
some quarters, the big rise may be eas- !
ily understood.
The Ohio has been at a very modest'
stage foralraost a year now, and since
the high water of late last winter, fol
lowiug the (Iis;1..-Irons iee break-up,
there has hardly been siffficient water
in the Ohio hero since that time to
cause the rom >val of goods stored on
tho wharf close to the waters edge, j
While nothing like a Hood is antici
pated from the present big- outpouring
from the southern tributaries, the river
will probably exceed any figures here- !
tofore reached v. it hin the past twelve
months.

Washington, Feb. 5.?Congress seems
destined to bare an ecclesiastical fray
precipitated by the resolution which
Senator Fryc and Representative Morse
of Massachusetts have brought in to .-o
cure recognition ?f the Deity in tho
constitution of the United .States, in?
terested members aro being deluged
with* missive's of commendation and
?protest upon the project. j
The trouble seems to lie not go much
in the purpose of the resolution set
forth in its tiilo a.s in that clause of it
which embodies the orthodox evangeli?
cal belief in Jesus Christ. This is cer?
tain to stir the opposition of Hebrew
citizens and others and a foretaste of
that opposition is already making itself
known.
Some letters have been received from
clergymen who desire to address tho
committee against the resolution. Xono
of the ministers who have intervened
on either side are men of national repu?
tation. A delegation of church people !
is here to.advocate the resolution. They
are: Rev. J. Robinson. Dr. McAllister I

P?iLADEr.rnrA, Feb. 3.?George W.
Childs, editor of the PlfHadelphia Ledg?
er, died at 2 o'clock Saturday morn?
ing. ? !
i Mr. Childs" illness dated from Thurs?
day, January 13, when he moved in
from his resilience near Bryn
. Maw. .On that day about 5 o'clock,
as he was preparing to leave his
offices in the Ledger building, he was
seized with what was pronounced an
Httack of vertigo, iiis e.ssoeiates were
much alarmed by the apparent serious?
ness of l.is illness, and summoned his
family physician, Prof. J. M. Dacosta,
who shortly afterward accompanied
him home in a carriage. Late
that night lie was reported some- .
AO
GEORG? W. CniLDS.
what better, and hopes were enter?
tained that nothing serious would come
of it. The next day he was reported
as steadily improving, but on Sunday
unfavorable s.vmptoms set in, and on
the Tuesday following his yihysieiaiis
announced that the attack of vertigo
had been followed up by paralysis. ;
Since then his condition was regarded
as hopeless and his death as only a j
question of time.
George V/. Childs was one of the most1
remarkable men of modern times, and j
one of tiie few successful men who
made a fortune while conducting his j
business on the basis of the golden
rule. It is doubtful if there were a
half dozen other men of his wealth
and extensive interests so universally j
esteemed by employes and nssoci- ;
ates. Mr. Childs \va-, accessible to every
one, from the ofliec boy to the humblest
applicant in search of work. With- ;
out affectation or pomposity ho wel- ;
coined all who wished to see him on
any reasonable errand.
Much has been written about Mr. ;
Child's noble deeds, of his generosity
to his employes, of his kindness to i
their families in bereavement or dis- j
tress, and the world is familiar with ;
his efforts to increase ihe friendly feel- j
ing between the people of England and j
America. j

is one extract, however, to which I
think your attention should be qalieii,
wherein it is stated "this government j

the letters from which.these extract-*:!

of parliamentary byrplay was intro?

The purpose of this flunk.movement
by Senator Quay is two-fold. In the
first place, it will make possible^au al?
liance in the tariff battle of the popu?
list and the freesilver senators in both
the republican ami demcei-itle prut:, s
with the republican loaders who wish
to sreuro modilicatioas in the tariff
bill, in case it-, passage proves iuovita
ablo. Suclt on ailianea would prove
especially attractive to southern demo?
crats who favor tree coinage, and also
wish dutVcs placed fipo'u -i< >X iron cao
and sugar.
In the second place the propor.l \>>n
will afford a number of eastern repub?
licans to east tentative votes in favor of
silver coinsg?. These men are inclined
to favor bimetallism, bat eyn not meet
the criticism for such v. res by exphiih
iug that thby were cast in favor of an
obnoxious amendment to the tariil j
bill.
Finally, tr.cro is?' contingency that
the tariff bill t.: ;.y be passed with tho

; question. Republicans; democrats and
I populists arc f?>r once agreed in con?
gress in questioning and even disput?
ing; the. authority uf. the secretary oi
' the treasury to use the proceeds of his
first Bond sale for any purpose other
than to replenish the: ?100,000,000 .^old
reserve.
When Secretary Carlisle invaded the
gold reserve in order to pr.y current exr
penses pi the {government be violated
lav.*, in the opinion of the best financial
experts. The oniy excuse that has been
pleaded by i he .adciiaistral ion for this is
that the secret;:".- acted andar the press?
ure'Of necessity ia dr?ier to maintain
the credit or! the government whou
congress was not in session, it was
also urged in hi* defense tint the de?
pletion of the gold reserve was caused
by a conspiracy to ship gold abroad in
order to force un issue of bonds for the
benefit Of ti e in?tiey lenders of the
east No'.v, however; congress is in
session, ami h;-.s beep made, officially,
aware of the conn-tion or the treasury;
Another complication is caused by
the fact, as announced o?ieia?y Sun?
day morning, that ihauy of the buyers
cf bonds have tendered in payment
therefor United- , States uotet instead
of gold. \i the secretary a<fCo,pts green?
backs in lieu of gold, which lie adver?
tised for, his currency bhlaneci will be
increased pjid the gold reserve wiil be
but slightly benefited. Xh/e onlj' plea
that can be, made for the acceptance of
United States notes Instead of gold
is that Holders of greenback's, can take
them to the sith-treasury in New Yorlc
and demand gol \ for t'ieni at any time,
thus the government would be paying
out of tho reserve for the redemption of
United States notes all that Ft may re?
ceive in limited quantities in gold] ob
I ttiincd from the sale of bonds, if this
! point could be overlooked there is no
! doubt that Secretary Carlisle would
j prefer to receive United States
notes instead of gold, because there
i can be no question of hi* right to pay
tho obligations pi 1 lie. government! in
! greenbacks, while there 13 every doubt
of his right to use g'ofd inteaVTeii for
: the reserve fund until that fund s!?.?.? ?
, have passed the $100,000,000 ai?rle.

j transaction; here for the first lithe ret

the debate in the senate daring thia
