Damage to Bridges and Manufactories Will Amount to Considerable—Water Too High as Yet For Steamer Navi- gation From Southern Points. Columbus, Ga„ Feb. 9—There is no material change in the flood situation here. The Chattahoochee has fallen a little but is still raging. All works on the liver front have been suspend ed, except the mills at North High lands. The damage to the Fourteenth street bridge is greater than was at first ex pected, one span of the steel work lies in the bottom of the river and even if it is gotten out, the work of con struction will be considerably delay ed.

CRAWLEY & CO. DANGER OF FLOOD PASSED. Chattahoochee River, Which Threat- / ened Overflow, Is Falling. I Atlanta, Feb. 9.—Advices to the toafal Telegraph company from Columbus, Ga., this morning state that the Chattahoochee river, which has been on a rise for the past two days, is slowly falling this morning, and all danger of flood has passed. The river last night reached a height of 38% feet, over 36 feet above the normal mark. Since last night a fall of 2 feet has been recorded, and the waters are slowly falling. It ife thought that the damage to property along the river front will be considerable, although the loss cannot yet be estimated. All the false work of the new Iron bridge was washed away last night, the river flooding that portion of the town. Many of the mills along the river will be idle for several days or until the damaged incurred by the inunda tion of their water wheels can be re paired. BOLD WORK OF BAD BLACKS. Livery Man at Selma Assaulted, Rob bed and His Stable Fired. Selma, Ala., Feb. 9.—F. M.

Mr. Bronelton entered his stable last night about 7 o’clock when he was met by three negroes, who had been con cealed in a hack. A lap robe was thrown over Mr. Donelton’s head, who, after choking him into insensibility, secured $7, set fire to the stable and disappeared. Three horses were burned to death In the flames. Mr. Bronelton is in a serious condi tion. FORMER GOVENOR DEAD. William Fishback, of Arkansas, Dies of Paralysis at Fort Smith.

New Telephoue Tost Put Up—Bad Roads— People Uolng and Coming- tCoriespondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jank, Feb. 7.—The cold rain this morning has put a stop to out door work. Yesterday the boys put up the tel ephone posts. The line crosses Broad river at the Darwin place and runs by Mr. W. 8. Wilkerson’s and Mr. J. Bui :e’s to Hickory Grove. Mr. Bridges is expected to ,come Monday and put up the wire, and by the time this appears in print the line will be in working order. Your correspondent went to Gaff ney yesterday in company with some of his neighbors. The roads are in a terrible fix. In many places they are well nigh impassable. We hope that as the county bas made some impor tant purchases in the way of road machinery, we hope year by year to see improvements until our county will be a plexus of good roads. Noth ing could be more acceptable to our people than this much needed im provement. Special Agent Brown, of the Post- office Department, with Captain Dick Jolly as his guide, is making a tour of this county now with a view of lo cating rural free delivery mail routes, when such are at all practicable. Our York county neighbors who have tried this improvement in the mail service since the first of last April are very much pleased with it. One great drawback with the rural dis tricts is the bad, muddy roads, es pecially at this season of the year. But with the prospects of having them improved in the near future (us our county seems to be more or less affected with the good roads fever) ve are satisfied that this trouble will soon be dissipated and our county treated to all the conveniences the general government cun afford it. Every now and then we have to raise a little*rucus with the compos itors ind proofreaders for making us out such a bad speller—so much worse than we really are. It’s bad enough at best, but when coupled with bad writing makes it exceedingly so All we get out of our protest is i good sound “sassing” from the boys, who say ‘‘You ought to write better.” Well, we will accept their apologies, and promise to improve when we get our typewriter in good working order. The habit of slnuchy writing does not only trouble editors, compositors and proofreaders, but it is felt in o^ber professions. We knew of one of the most prominent law firms in one of our neighboring coun ties sending a check to a client with a letter accompanying it stating what it was for. etc. The letter and check were both returned to the writers with a note to please tell what it was for. as he could get nothing out of the letter. Mr. Robert A. Foster, of Hickory Grove, went to Gatfoey yesterday on business. The fox hunters have been making things lively, but Reynard has kept at a safe distance from men and dogs. Miss Meng is teaching the Sunny- side school. She lives in Union county. Mr. H. B. McDaniel had an old- fashioned wood-chopping yesterday. Mr. Giles M. Hill, of Gaffney, was down today looking after his farming interests. Mr. Jim Smarr, of Hopewell, spent the night on this side of the river lust night. J. L. 8. Free Cure for Sick Headache.

ANOTHER UPRISING IMMINENT Center of Impending Revolution I This Time In Southern China, V/hico Is Overrun With Cut-Throats. Americans Assaulted In Canton. San Francisco, Feb. 9.—Previous re ports of a threatened outbreak in Chi na against Caucasian residents is con firmed’ by several persons who have just arrived here from the Orient. Dr. James Young, surgeon of the steamer China; David Austin and J. G. Kav- anaugh are among those who give ac counts of the menacing attitude of the Boxers. Dr. Young, accompanied by Austin and an American engineer, and under the direction of a Chinese guide, went to Canton wffien the steamer China was at Hong Kong. Once within the gates of the walled city the party was beset by a rabble and was met with demands for money. At the outset the Chinese wdre complacent, but the moment the tourists refused their re quest for coin the Mongolians hurled stones at the visitors and drove them in terror to the five-story pagoda, where they were temporarily free from molestation. However, when the Americans emerged from the pagoda they were again pursued by the mob, which became bolder and more defi ant, and finally hurled missiles of every description at Dr. Young and his party. A great stone struck Dr. Young in the neck and rendered him uncon- ecious. The mob had almost over powered the Americans when Dr. Young arrived and the three left the walled city with all possible speed. Dr. Kavanaugh declares the center of the impending revolution is in the southern part of China and not in the north, where the last outbreak occur red. “Canton and the southern prov. inces,” he said, “where there was no activity during the uprising in 1900. Is now thoroughly alive with cut throats. The Chinese are procuring arms and ammunition in open violation of the treaty with the powers at the time of the former uprising was set tled.” The movement is being planned carefully. Many Americans who were In the Philippines have gone to China and are engaged in drilling and train ing the Chinese. It is his belief that the rising will take place at a not far distant date. REDISTRIBUTION SCHEME. Great Britain To Reduce Ireland’s Rep resentation In Parliament New York, Feb. 9.—The government has determined to reduce Ireland’s rep. resentation In parliament, says The Tribune’s London correspondent. The government’s hands will be quite full this year with Irish land and London education, and it may be taken for granted that the redistribution scheme is to be the chief measure of 1904. On the basis of the present popula tion. England has 36 members too few, Scotland three too many and Ireland 33 too many. There are 103 Irish seats in the commons today, end it is an open secret that the government intentds to reduce this number to 85 or less. The Nationalists argue that, as the act of union gave Ireland 100 members, the imperial parliament has no right to reduce this representation. When the act passed, the population of Ireland was 5,000,000, about half that of Great Britain. Today the pop. ulation is 4,434,000, or a little more than one-ninth that of Great Britain. RIVER CLYDE BURSTS BANKS. Inundates Scottish Town and Great Damage Results.. Glasgow, Scotland, February 9.— —The river Clyde burst Its banks above Glasgow today and inundated the Industrial district of Ruthglein, where a dozen of the extensive works were flooded to the depth of several feet. The main road was 10 feet un der water, and many houses were ren dered uninhabitable. Several resi dent districts south of Glasgow also were flooded. The damage done was very heavy. The rain-swollen river submerged miles of the country. Elsewhere in Scotland traffic on rail- roads has been stopped, bridges have been swept away and houses have col- lapsed. Thus far no fatalities have been reported. Buying English Coal and iron. New York. Feb. 9.—After a lull In buying, which was very marked dur ing January, America is again coming into the English market for supplies of coal and iron, according to a Lon don dispatch to The Tribune. One firm of London agents is said to have received American inquiry for 100,000 to 500,000 tons of coal, and shippers on this side are now talking of send Ing coal to the United States for the remainder of the year. Ten steamers have been chartered within the last few days to convey Cleveland iron across the Atlantic and In consequence the iron market is holding Its own with considerable firmness.

Atlanta, Feb. 5.—The dead and m&n. gled body of Robert C. Jenkins was found caught between the elevator and the eighth floor of the Piedmont hotel yesterday morning. Jenkins was an elevator boy at the hotel and he met his death alone and in what appeared to be a most unaccountable manner. Half of his body was above the elevator floor and half below it. The door of the elevator was dosed. About 20 minutes before 4 o’clock yesterday morning there was a call from the second floor for water, and Jenkins was sent to answer the call. He had to go to the seventh floor for the water. He took elevator No. 2, which is one of the two passenger el evators, and started to the seventh floor. He was net seen again until two employes looked down the ele vator shaft from the ninth floor and saw his dead body. The body was removed to Undertak er Patterson’s and the coroner noti fied. An inquest was held and the verdict was that death was due to an accident. Just how the accident occurred will never be known. What, made the affair Inexplicable was the fact that the door of the elevator was closed, and how Jenkins got caught in the narrow space between the elevator shaft and the floor was a mystery.
