The convention instructed

Congressman Talbert has taken
a very decided stand against
the wholesale and slipshod
method of dealing out the

After stating that he would not
believe the South Carolina member
tinder oath, and qualifying
it by saying that he meant the
Statement to apply only when
Talbert said he was a friend to
the old soldiers, Tolbert retorted
in the following acrimonious
language:
"I accept the gentleman's
qualification of his language;
and I want to say that if the
gentleman meant to impute untruthfulness
to me, I hurl it
back down his rotten throat, and
I say that he st. tes something
that is unworthy of a gentleman
upon the floor of this house.
I repeat that when the gentleman
savs he would not holipvr
mo on oath, if he moans to impute
to me untruthfulness, ho is
a man liimsolf that will not toll
the truth and has not got a spark
of truth about him, and I cram
it down his throat, if ho meant
to impute to mo any such thing
as that."

roads.
Jackson, Miss., April 19.?A
special from McComb City states
that 700 passengers brought in
by the Illinois Central are tied
up at that place waiting for the
first train out for New Orleans.
The officials are unable to say
wheu they will be able to get a
train through, as over nine miles
of track has disappeared beneath
the water just below Chatawa.
Further south swamps and lowlands
are rapidly filling up with
backwater, which threatens to
submerge the tracks.
Pearl river has advanced eight
inches since noon and continues
to rise at a rapid rate. Farmers'
houses and negro cabins in the
lowlands between here and Pearson
station are in imminent danger,
and if the overflow continues
to spread at the present rate they
will have to move out at once. (
The weather is threatening tonight.
Meridian, Miss., April 19.?
It will he three and possibly
four days before the Northeastern,
the Alabama Great Southern,
the Southern and the Alabama
and Vicksburg railroads
and the Mobile and Ohio can
resume business through this
section. The washouts were
more disastrous than the officials
anticipated. A million dollars,
it is believed, will not cover the
damages to these roads from
floods and suspension of business.
A gentleman reached this
city today from a waterbound
Mobile and Ohio passenger train
at Quitman, having ridden
through the country. Ho reports
the passengers faring well,
through the hospitality of the
Quitman citizens and the efforts
of the road. The train has been
' at a standstill, surrounded by
water, three days and three
nights. A heavy rain is falling
tonight.
Mobile, Ala., April 19.?Rain
lu?s fallen in a steady downpour
all day, and it is reported to be
general throughout this portion
or tue south. 1 ho railroads are
having groat trouble. The loss
is great.

SEVERE RAINFALL.

* ? vr? mm KJ ?? \'|H II l?J #
During the past 4S hours the
rain I all has been phenominal for
this season of the year. The
' total amounts 1over three
inches. It seems that the rains
have been general. Yesterday
the (Jongaree began tc? boom and
at (J p. m, it was 17 feet above
low water. At about 10 o'clock
it was 22 feet and rising rapidly.
The weather bureau sent out
warnings yesterday. If the river
goes much higher many of the
low farm lands already 'planted
will bo Hooded ami the crops
destroyed. The electric railway
plant was shut down last evening.
During the evening the false
work at the Seaboard's new
bridge was swept away, Dial nothing
of value was lost. The heaviest
loss is the time it will take
to replace the false work so that
the building of Hie spans can
continue.
In the city, on Lady and (jervais
streets, where the Seaboard
crosses, the new culverts were
not secure enough to stand the
volume of water and bad breaks
have occurred. At the Washing
ton street crossing the earth was
washed from behind the new re
taining wall now being built and
carried into the cut. The water
covered the track in the cut. All
along the walls of the cut bad
washouts occurred. This means
another delay for the Seaboard.
On the several railroads running
out of the city bad washes
were reported, but tho section
forces were on the lookout for 1
them and no delays of trains te- "
suited,?The State. J

Trouble
Lung troubles, such as pleurisy or
acute inflammation of the lungs,
should be carefully treated to avoia
serious consequences. These ailments
are quickly overcome by the prompt
use of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, a wonderful
remedy, which always gives

FLOODS IN OTHER STATES.
Rail Road Traffic Stopped and
Great Damage Done by The
Heary Rainfall.
Memphis, Tenn., April 18.?
Reports from the overflowed districts
in Mississippi are to the
elTect that large forces of men are
at work on the road beds and it is
believed trains will be running
through to New Orleans by night.
Meridian, Miss., April 18.?The
flood situation remains unchanged
in regard to railroad traffic. The
trains with the exception of the
M. <fc O. north remain annulled
indefinitely.
Laurel, on the northeastern
road, is reported completely submerged.
The much larger streams
throughout the State continue to
rise. The bodies of five flood
victims were recovered tljis morning.
Search for the others continues.
A passenger train is reported
waterbound on the Mobile & Ohio
road near Quitman, Miss. It is
thought the 35 passengers will be
relieved in a few hours. The
swollen rivers ami streams in the
flooded districts are receding.
Jackson, Miss., April 18.?delated
specials from all sections of
the State indicate that the three
days of flood have wrought dam
age greatly in excess of the first
estimates, especially to growing
crops. The Illinois Central is
again tied up by a freight train
which tumbled over j he tracks
this morning and the Alabama A*
Vicksburg is tied up at Baker's
creek and also Pearl river. The
Natchez division of the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley road will
not be able to resume regular
traffic for several days on account
of missing bridges.
Laborers are being recruited to
complete the repairs which so far
have been only temporary.
Denver,Col.?Reports received
from the grazing regions indicate
that heavy losses in live stock
will result from the prolonged
rain and snow storm. The estimated
losses of sheep in the
vicinity of Trinidad ajr^refjate. at
least. 20,000 head.
