The ice gorge is unbroken and the water is now running over the lower section of the fitv flnH ttf oanitv Holno. A 11 n breaklnr th mrei i atunitnnuf anH all attention- is given now to saving! household goods and merchandise. 1 Every team in the city is kept busy moving people and ejects to Dlaces of safety. At 9 oclock to-day the water had crept up to the bridge and to the post office, two blocks from the river. The river is now 22 feet above low water mark. The Wisconsin Central tracks are cov ered with water two feet, and the Omaha tracks are used in the trknsfer of trains at Eau Claire. Duncan creek, tributary to the Chip pewa river, here, is also doing much damage. The water is backing up in it from the river. The Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company's mill and lumber yards are all under water. Every resi- dent and business man on River street! has moved out. It is thought by many that this is ?Kiy tM5"beinn,nS- as there is no pos- sible hope of getting a channel cut through the Jam of logs and ice. The river gorge is now 23 feet high and four and a half miles long. All the farming country five miles south of the town of Wheaton is under water, and the t0 'armers 13 e?ormus , farmers barely escaped with their lives and in some places houses and barns were carried away. Live stock has been lost by every farmer. The suf fering by those obliged to move is ter rible, as the thermometer show's from to 5 degrees below zero. At 10 a. m. all hope was given up of saving the entire lower part of the city. The ice is rapidly forming five miles below and the water is rising in the city at the rate of a foot an hour. Everybody la making preparations to move to the hills. A report that an other gorge is forming at Little Falls, 30 miles above here, was brought in this morning and increased the panic. as in case of it breaking suddenly the whole city would be swept away. A report from Durand, south of here. says thirty people have lost their lives. and suffering from the cold is intense. This report cannot be verified, and is probably greatly exaggerated.

The correspo ndent sends a dis-1 patch from Los Palacios, under the I date of Sunday, November 29, in which he savs that the Soanish column ar rived at that place without having rec-n the enemy. The final operations of General Weyler, he says, will be car ried out with activity, but without pre cipitation, and in a manner insuring an absolutely successful outcome.

Corbett arrived. in this city I last night. He was asked regarding the I decision rendered by District Attorney CKki"l lI Corbett and Fltzsimmons cannot- be held in the Greater New York Athletic Club, on Coney Island.

"I have not received Mr. Stuart's let- tpr vt.

Speaking of the ten rounds "go" be ftween Sharkey and Fitsstmmdns, which takes place in San Francisco next wk Corbett said that he looked for Fitzsimmons to whip Sharkey. "Will whip him in a very short while." said Corbett, "unless Sharkey uses his foul tactics and wrestles, as he did on me. I think they will stop him. Fitzsimmons ought td win." MARRIAGE AT SALISBURY.

Three convicts from Rowan have ar I rived at the penitentiary Superintendent Leasar, of the peni tenttary, ts on a ten day's trip to the farms, taking an inventory of the crops and property. On 2,750 acres of land in cotton over 2.000 baes were raised. 1.000 acres having been destroy ed bv the sreat freshet. As ret SOO lor 400 bales remain unpicked. Mr, Leazar is a man of marked ability. It is no flattery to say that his manage meht of the penitentiary is In all re spects admirable It is said that the statement made a day or two ago that 9 per cent, of the private stockholders of the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad favored its lease was incorrect, and that there is really much opposition to it State Chairman Ayer was asked to day if it would be safe to bet $50 to $40 that Prltchard would be returned He replied, "No. for Pritchard may come- here and pledge himself to vote for free silver.

B. Davis presided and Elector Merritt was secretary. The electors had no certificates. It seems that while the State law says ithe electors were to meet to-day, the first Tuesdav in De cember, it is only to organize and fill any vacancies. But the law further says that the Governor shall issue com missions on or before the first Wednes- n Z' .n, lEiff Kluttz the college adjourned, or rather took a recess, until noon to-morrow Governor Carr will return in the morn ing and issue the certificates.

Both sides agreed to arbitra- tkn. but one of the litigants required the other to give bond, when the other finally concluded to let the law take its course. As we have some seventy- five magistrates and non-commissioned magistrates, they were all ummoned on a special venire, and challenged like a Jury. The challenge went: "Litigant, look upon the 'squire.'squire, look upon the litieant. Do you like him? After the special venire was exhausted (all htu three) a 'squire who was not pres ent was selected. One of the litigants said he was ready for trial" that even ing, while the other insisted that he would not be ready till the zoth, prox Both agreed to this date, when one of the rejected 'squires suggested that his honor who had been selected was a good Methodist, and that the 20th orox. is his meeting day. Nobody had thought of the 20th coming on Sunday. and part of the crowd said not to have it on Sunday as they wanted to go rabbit hunting on that day.
