THE WASTE OF WATERS.
THE OUTLOOK IN THE FLOODED

More Breaks Reported In the Levees
The ReIlef appropriations Near.
Iy Exhausted-The Eliminates of the
Sufferers.

NEW ORLEANS, March IA break in the
levee one hundred feet wide and three to
five feet deep, is reported this morning at
Storre's place, on the left bank, eight miles
below Canal street. The City Surveyor has
also received a report that break had oc-
CURED at Live Oak Grove plantation on the
right bank, about twenty-five miles below
the city. These reports are not regarded at
the City Hall as very reliable, especially as
to the exact location Of the breaks.
The crevasse at the Fetas Corinne place
has been closed. The one at Story's is now
one hundred aud fifty feet wide and ten
feet deep. No effort is being made to close
1t. As the break is about one mile and a
quarter above Lake Borgne canal, it is
probable that the water will flow directly
into the channel and thence to Lake Borgne.
Several sugar plantations will pro ably be
more or less damaged by the water from
this crevasse.
Breaks are reported at Flotes Corinne
plantation, st. Bernard parish, on the left
bank, six miles below the city. The Gre
vase is forty feet wide. The levee there is
six feet high. 1t will probably be closed by
tomorrow.

nal appropriation, but Congress is expected
to make an appropriation for the distribu-
tion OF additional supplies.

Outraged WOmanhood.

At a meeting of the Ladies' Anti
Polygamy Society of Salt Lake, the
other night, the following resolution was
adopted:
WHEREAS, The petition of the Nor
mons praying to be let alone commits
every Mormon to tee Endorsement Of
polygamy in defiance of the law and the
frantic exertions of the leaders to reveal
their mortal terror at the prospect Of
losing political power; and
WHEREAS, Under their control, it has
been made the mere expediency of hos
tile creed, the rights of real citizens de-
MED, the ballot prostituted, women dis
honored and every element of home de-
stroyed, the forbearance of the govern
ment derided as weakness, and its failure
to assert itself claimed as Divine inter
position in favor of the Mormon
kingdom;
ResoEUed, That this society, speaking in
the name of outraged womanhood and
for 40, 900 real citizens of this Territory,
beseech Congress to rely no longer on
half measures, but at once take from the
Mormons all political privileges until
they accept as sovereign the laws of the
United States; that we fear the Edmunds
bill will be found fatally defective. like
the present anti-polygamy law, because
while it disfranchises polygamists it pro-
vides no machinery whatever for the en-
forcement of said disfranchisement; that
we believe that a commission of sterling
citizens of this Territory, if given full
legislative powers, working under the
supervision of Congress, is the only real,
prompt and merciful remedy for Utah's
wrongs.
The preaching in the Tabernacle Sun
day was very belligerent and defiant. 1t
was said the Mormons were extending
into other Territories, and no power on
earth could stop them.

A Crank's Antics.
NetU York Press.


For several weeks past the well known
banking firm of Seligman s. Co. have
been in the receipt of postal cards and
letters from an individual who signed
his name 'Sero Sachs" who demanded
that he should be admitted as a member
of the firm. At first these communica-
tions created no little amusement. but
later on, when the writer began to make
threats on account of the lack of atten-
tion paid to his propositions. the firm
determined TO find out something about
the ambitious stranger, and a watch was
kept for his appearance at the bank, as
he lntimated in one of his eommunica.
tions that he would call in person,
On Friday last a young Heh5ew of
small stature, dressed In sE,abbv oenteel
suit OF black, was found loiterine about
the premises y. a suspicious manner. and
when Sccosted by one of the attaches he
demanded an audience with member
OF the firm, explaining that he was Sachs,
and that he was prepared then and there
Tor W )rk, which he said be must have.
Mr.. Henry Seligman, son of Mr.. Jesse
Seligman, head of the firm, was then
called in, and after conversing with him
pronounced him to be ''crank," " and he
was sent away after being warned not to
repeat his visit or to send any more
threatening letters.
On Saturday the mails brought addi-
tional postal cards from Sachs, repeating
his demands to be admitted as member
of the firm or for employment. Yester-
day communications of the same de-
scrlptlon were received. This forenoon
the fellow followed them in person, and
upon entering the bank boldly chal-
lenged young Mr.. Seligman and others
to mortal combat. At this juncture off
Ger Leddy, of the Broadway squad, was
called in, and arrested the belligerent
Hebrew, and he was at once taken before
Justice Smith, at the Tombs. In re-
sponse to the questions of the Magis-
trate, he said that his name was Sero
Sachs, that he was twenty-seven years
OF age, and was bookkeeper by pro-
fessiOn.
'WhY have you so persistentlv annoy.
ed the Messrs. Seligman 2" asked the JUS.
tice.
The prisoner replied, nonchalantly, 'I
wanted work"
He was further questioned, and his re-
plies were such as to leave no room for
doubt that he was insane. The Justice
was inclined to commit him for medi-
cal examination, but at the request of
Mr., Henry Seligman, who was present,
ne concluded to discharge him.
mind you" said the magistrate. 'if
you are ever brought before me again on
this charge l will send you to the peni-
Tertiary"
The prisoner promised not to again
annoy the firm, and was set at liberty.

Solid Petroleum.
London Nature.

1t was lately announced that German
in Russia, Herr Dttmar, had found a
way to solidify petroleum., which would
be OF great commercial advantage. TL
method consists in beating petroleum in
stlh with two, or at mnSs.s three ner
cent. of soap. At first there is a great
oeai Oh 1oam, and at 100 degrees the
wnoie mass suddenly becomes like wax.
ror l'quehcstion afterward vinegar is
used: So far as yet appears; the inven-
ton is not applicable to raw naptha. A
lively discussion on the subject took
place at the Russian Technical Society in
st. Petersburg, and some objections
raised by Prof. Wilchinski were not, it is
said, adequately met by the inventor. 1t
was urged that the solidifying did not
wholly do away with leakage. Absorption
occurs with wood, and the proposed
wooded cases, saturated during trans
port, might give off vapors which would
form explosive mixtures. If cases i'm
permeable by petroleum were used in
stead, the advantage of the cheaper
chests would fall away. Further, the
consumption of soap mot a very cheap
materiaD is considerable; thus 100. 900
cwt. of petroleum would take 2, 600 cwt.
of soap. The fatty matter need not
indeed be lost, but it would be lost for
the naphtha district, as the carriage back
would not pay. Further, the solid Pc
troleum could not be brought into the
houses, but would require large central
liquefying works. whence the LIQUID
would be carried in vessels. Herr Dit.
mars figures, showing great advantage
in the cost OF transportation of solid
petroleum, were vigorously debated, and
1t was pointed out that the unloading of
the chests was disadvantageous com
pared with the simple pumping from
tanks.

THE LATE EARL OF LONsDALE.
Early Death OF an English NObIeman
who Lived a Fast Life.
Chicago Times.


The death of the Earl of Lonsdale at
the early age of 20 is the natural end of
short but melancholy career. As the
head of great feudal house, as the heir
to one of the oldest and most honored
names in England, as the possessor of
vast wealth, he had everything within
his reach. He might have become a
great power in the State, but he delibe-
rately elected to trample the purple
under foot. He led a life in London,
about town and on the turf, as
reckless as one of Ouida's ''plung-
ers," and as coarse and vile
as that of some of the characters
in NJ. Zola's books. His whole exist
ence from the age of 81 was a tragedy,
and his family are to be congratulated
rather than condoled with that his estate
and title have now devolved on brother
well fitted for the responsibility they en-
tail. 1t is we'll known that few months
before his death Lady Lonsdale refused
definitely to live any longer with a hus-
band so degraded and shameless. On
the first tidings of his illness, however,
she hurried up from the south of France,
but only arrived at Carlton House,
France, to find her lord dead. A sensa
tional report has recently been passed
quietly from mouth to mouth to the
effect that she is enceinte, and may
yet give an heir to the broad lands
and princely revenues which are a.
tached to the name of Lowther. Lady
Lonsdale was at one time, and, in
deed, is still, in many eyes, one of the
most beautiful women in England. There
was a long bitter feud between her and
Mrs. Langtry on the score of good looks,
and the feud was all the more bitter be-
cause the Prince of Wales was said to
admire each lady about equally. OF late
Lady Lonsdale's name has not been
much before the British public. For a
long time she stuck bravely to her un-
fortunate and unworthy husband, giving
up even much rare and costly iewelry to
help him in his money difficulties. Many
stories are now told in London coteries
of th} late Earl's reckless and silly ex-
travagances. At one time he made
present of a silver dinner service,
value $4,000, to his horse trainer, in
anticipation of the latter's marriage.
which never came off, after all. His
yacht was the handsomest and most
costly vessel of her class which had ever
visited the Mediterranean. His hunting
was done in prineely style, while his
presents to women astonished every
Frenchman. For his horse Blue Blood
he gave $40, 900, while the same animal
few years after fetched only SIS,
another he sold for $4,000 which he
had bought for $50 600, and so Oh. Even
an income of $500. 900 a year could not
stand such mad and reckless inroads as
he made upon it. His health and his
fortune were alike broken at the early
age of 26, and he falls with scarcely q
friend to mourn his loss.
