Confidence That the Levees Can Now

Unless Other Breaks Occur, the City
is Secure From p Overflow.

Special to the Western Associated Press.
HELENA, Ark, March 8.-The river
here rose scant half an inch in the
last twelve hours. 1t is thought the
levees can be held intact against
probably any emergency, as they were
maintained last night against a terrific
east gale. that sent the water dashiug
clear over in many places. The situ.
alton is still critical, however. There
will be no relaxing Of vigilance and
labor to make everything compact
and thoroughly secure it it can be
done. Below here the country is all
under water and from five to fifteen
feet of back water from the Hubbard
break is appearing in the lower end OIL
the city, but will do no damage nnless
other breaks occur, and there will be
no overflow in Helena. The Ian
guile river rose two inches last night,
this indicating that the rise will con-
tinue some days.

dOned.

ST.. LOUIS, March, S.-Governor
Crittenden has pardoned Clarence
Hite, noted member Of the james
gang, who pleaded guilty to train rob
berry in February, 1882, and sentenced
to twenty-five years Imprisonment,
The pardon was issued on the recon-
mendation of the penitentiary physi
clan and board of inspectors. Hite is
in the last stage of consumption, and
since his incarceration has been ia
the hospital two-thirds Of the time; is
weak, emaciated and his voice nearly
gone. Accompanied by his brother
in law, he has started for his father
home in Logan county, Kentucky.
There is much speculation as TO the
effect Of Hite's pardon on Frank
James prospects. 1t is believed that
if he went on the witness stand OF
made a deposition he could send
James to the penitentiary.
