FLOOD AT WEST Observation-Disclosures
TER, April 9.-The dam at Ramshorn
pond, West Milbury, 500 feet long, gave
way early this morning, and the water
swept through the valley in West Mil
bury, Auburn, and the southern part of
this city. At West Milbury, Lom-
bard's single mill was entirely destroy
ed, two houses were carried by the cur
rent for considerable distance, one of
them being prevented from going over
the falls by being caught in the trees.
Grigg's tannery was nearly destroyed,
and three bridges across the highway
were washed away and the roads badly
washed out Larned's mill, at Auburn,
is badly damaged, and $50 feet of the
track of the Norwich and Worcester
Railroad, with stone bridge, is wash
ed away. The low lands in the south
ern portion of this city are flooded, and
the damage will be very heavy. At 8
o'clock tonight it is thought no further
damage will result unless the Trow-
bridge dam, two miles from the city,
breaks.

LONDON DETECTIVE.

Some of John Bulls most notable
characteristics have just been illustrated
in New York, by one of his distinguish
ed representatives., London detective
known as Sergeant Green" who has
been celebrated by Dickens as sthe
smartest of the London detectives. -
This man has arrived in New York to
take charge of the arrested swindlers of
the Bank of England. Having made the
acquaintance of New York detectives, he
desired to go about the city and ''see the
sights" Accordingly, they went to
Harry Hills, the Water street dens,
and many other places. Before start
ing, he was cautioned against taking
valuables with him, for 1.-The New York
thieves are very sharp" Stirred by
this caution, John Bull came out in his
glory. 'Oh, nonsense !" said he, with
an air :; ''they can't steal from ME you
know p His friends left him at one of
the fashionable resorts up town. Two
or three hours later he woke up in
Union Square" without knowing how
he came there; and, on taking account
of himself, he found that his extradition
papers and warrants, his private memo
randum book, his watch and chain, studs
and gold snuff box presented him by
the London merchants for his brilliant
detective genius, were gone. stolen from
his pockets. His amazement was such
as none but John Bull can feel He re-
membered that "a perfect gentleman who
wore large diamonds" had asked him to
partake of bottle of wine, and promis-
ed to give him ''a drive about the city,
next day." He could tell nothing more.
A few evenings later, a big package was
thrown into the open window of a po-
lice station, in which were found Ser
geant Green's papers, jewelry, and snuff
box, with note which read as follows ::
''Give this stuff back to the English
chump who says he is detective he is
dufer." Can the New York detective
solve this mystery and arrest the robber ?
Whether they can or not, the fact re-
mains that John Bulls ''smartest detect
i've has discovered that his education is
not complete. He may be equal to any
work among the rogues of London; but
New York is too much for him.

NEW ORLEANS, April l5.-The steam

afternoon, brings stirring and important
news, from Grant Parish. The whites

negro to be found for miles around
From passengers we CLEAN the following
"The negroes had strongly entrenched
themselves in the court house and built
breastworks three or four feet high
There were, it is said, about 400 men
armed and equipped thoroughly. On
Sunday at about IL o'clock, about $50
men who had gathered from the sur
rounding parishes, made an attack on
the breastworks, and brisk fight was
kept up till some where near o'clock.
The breastworks were then stormed and
captured, the negroes taking refuge in
the courthouse, the doors of which were
barricaded.
After some further fighting the ne
groes threw out flag of truce, and sew
eral detachments of men advanced on it,

ed party, wounding several, one of whom
was Captain Hadwot, who was shot
in the bowels and it is feared fatally
wounded. They retreated outside the
barracks, and as the only means of dis
lodging the negroes, the courthouse was
set on fire, and they were shot as they
came from the burning building. 1t is
reported that between eighty and one
hundred negroes were killed, and that
there were none afterwards to be found
for miles around.

The ninth census reveals a good many
curious and disappointing details, among
which under the head of local or Sec
tional facts, are the following, which
must surprise the two extremes of the
country: in the criminal classes of Mas
sachusetts one person in every SIT is a
criminal in Georgia only one criminal
to 1905. Of the native whites in Mas
sachusetts one in every GAG is crimi-
nal of the native whites in Georgia
only one in every 1882 is convict
Of the colored people in Mass. there is
one criminal to every 100; in Georgia
there is one to every 913. Foreigners
in Massachusetts are criminals in the
proportion of one to 296 in Georgia
only one in 799. The following facts
are curious In prison in the United
States on June l, 1871, there were 49,
90l persons, thus distributed Total
prisoners, 329O1 native whites, 1917;
colored people, 8,056; foreign born,
SIPS; Total population, 38,558,371 !;
native white, 29,14l,133 ; colored A.
$4,000; foreign born 5,597,529 ;
showing that assuming all in prison to
be crimiuals) there is at least one Grim
inal to every LIP of the population,
one in every | ,744 of our native popu-
lation, one in every 627 Of our foreign
born population, and one in every 6O5
of our colored population.

The MoDoc STRONGHOLD IN THE LAVA
BEDs.-At this time it may be interest
ing to reproduce the following descrip
ton furnished by Mr.. Jesse Apologize
to an Oregon paper, of the position
occupied by the Modoc army Of Capt.
Jack:
The word '.pedregal," like the word
"canyon," has been introduced into our
language from the Spanish, as designat-
ing a feature of the topography more
clearly and tersely than any word or
phrase in our language. As by the word
canyon" the idea of ravine between
walls of rocks is conveyed to the mind,
SO by the word "pedregal'' we under
stand an irregular volcanic surface of
basalt, thochyte, ETC., more or less bro
ken into upheavais from below, and
cracked and fssured in the process of
cooling. The stronghold of the Modoc
Indians is 'pedregal' of the most exl
tensive and elaborate description: it oc-
cupies, with but few intervals, 100
square miles If you can, imagine a
smooth, solid sheet of iron ten miles
square and 500 feet thick, covering re-
sistless mines of gunpowder scattered at
irregular intervals under it; that these
mines are exploded simultaneously,
rending the whole field into rectangular
masses from the size of matchbox to
that of church, heaping these masses
high in some places and leaving deep
chasms in others. Following the explo-
sion, the whole thing is placed in one of
Vulcan's crucibles and heated up to a
point when the whole begins to fuse and
run together and then suffered to cool.
The roughness of the upper surface re-
mains as the explosion left it, while all
below is honey combed by the cracks
and crevices caused by the cooling of the
melted rock. From the top of one Of
these stone pyramids an Indian Car
shoot man without exposing a square
inch of himself. He can, with due
haste, load and shoot common muzzle
loading rifle ten times before man car
scramble over the rocks and chasms be
tween the slain and the slayer. If, a
this terrible expense of life, force dis
lodges him from his cove, he has only t,
drop into and follow some subterraneal
passage with which he is familiar t.
gain another ambush, from whence i
will cost ten more lives to dislodge him
and so on.

VICE-PREsIDENT WILSON INTERVIEW

VIcE-PREsIDENT WILSON INTERVIEW
ED-THE PEACE Policy Nor ABANDON
ED.-NEw YORK, April l6.-Vice-Pres-
ident Wilson was interviewed, to-day,
at the Astor House, with regard to the
present and future attitude of the gov
eminent toward the Modocs and other
Indian tribes. He stated that peace
with the Modocs was now impossible /;
that the tribe is noted as being one of
the most treacherous among all Indians
that they would be exterminated; al
though the tribe numbers only one hun
dred available warriors, yet as their po-
sition in the lava bed is almost impreg-
nable it will cost more than one hundred
men to dislodge them. The peace policy
is not abandoned. There is no question
that it has saved the government ten mil
ion dollars.
