tinguished company assembled at the Cramp
ship-yard to-day to witness the launching of
Jay Gould's magnificent steam yacht, Alta

ing, us she lay on her ways waiting for the
''shoe" to be cut, she excited the admiration
of the hundreds who were unanimous in the
expression: 'She is perfect picture" The
hull of the vessel has been painted, but as
yet nothing has been done toward fitting up
her interior. No one, excepting workmen
in the yard was permitted on board of the
craft the launch being witnessed from a
spacious platform constructeds around the
yacht, from which foated the Stars and
Stripes.
At LOS o'clock the long file of workmen,
arranged on either side of the keel of the
ATLANTA, began driving in the wedges pre-
paratory to cutting away the last fastening
which held her on the ways. From bow to
stern line was extended, from which 1oated
the flags of different nations. On the decks
of the Maripoza and the iron-clad monitor,
which is being completed for government
service, were crowded hundreds of spectators
to witness the launch. at the bow of the
yacht, occupying positions on the platform,
were gathered the owner of the beautiful
craft and his party, who arrived at the ship
yard by special train over the Pennsylvania
railroad, at 1925 o'clock p NJ. Beautiful and
symmetrical as the misunderstanding craft
was, the desire to see her seemed to be only
second to that of looking on the features of
the man who could afford the luxury of a

Case of Infanticlde.

Boonville Special, 9th
Boonville has another tragedy in the shape
of an infanticide. On Thursday a young
woman arrived there from Spencer county,
and applied for lodging at Betheps Hotel,
giving her name as Mary Small. 1t was OBJ
served by the landlord that the woman was
in an interesting condition, but no ques-
tons were asked. On Friday morni ng the
woman was found to be in a very dangerous
condition from the loss of blood. Upon
questioning and threatening she was induced
to confess that during the night she had
given birth to an illegitmate child, and TO
hide her shame had thrown it into the vault
of the privy Examination of the privy
proved the woman's statements to be true,
and the body of a fully-developed child was
taken from the vault. The woman is about
twenty-five years old, and the daughter of
James Small, of Spencer county. She claims
her visit to Boonville was for the purpose of
instituting suit for bastardy against Luther
Mortz, young married farmer living near
town. to whom she charges her disgrace No
action has been taken in the matter further
than holding an inquest, as the woman is in
too critical a condition to be removed from
the hotel.

Levee Opposite New Orleans Broken-Much
Damage Feared.

New ORLEANS, April IA heavy rain and

postponed. During the storm break oc-
Cured in the levee just below the Texas &
Pacific depot at Gouldsboro, nearly opposite
the head of Louisiana avenue. The break is
$50 feet wide and seven feet deep. The wind
during the storm drove the water over the
levee opposite the city in many places. The
rain was the heaviest since 1877 Five and
ixty-three-hundred h, inches fell in three
and one-half hours. The town of Gouldsboro
is flooded three to six feet. The track of the
Algiers and Gouldsboro dummy line was
washed. Water ran over the levee along the
Algiers front from Harvey's canal to point
opposite the head of Canal street flooding a
large portion of Algiers, inhicting much
damage The street railroads are still ran
ming.
The government gauge at the head of
Canal street shows the river even with the
great food of 1874 being five inches higher
than last year. Most of the wharves proper
that is the planking-in front of the levee
are covered with water, and steamers in many
cases have to land freight hundred feet
further out than usual. The water at sew
eral points along the city front passes over
the levee and into the cutters Several
small breaks in the levee were closed. Little
or no damage has been DONE large force

officials of the Texas Pacific and Morgan
railway companies hope to have the break
closed by tomorrow night. Water from the
crevasse so far is doing comparatively little
damage If the break should not be closed,
the loss to railroad and property owners will
be great

A Chance for the Crops Yet.

National Republican, Saturday.
Reports coming into the Bureau of Agri-
culture in relation to crops do not confirm
the gloomy newspaper telegraphic crop ad-
vices week or two ago, in which the predic-
ton was made that there would not be a
two-thirds yield of winter wheat. Reports
indicate that some damage has been done by
the frosts and intermittent weather in the
Northwest, but that the rumors of.run have
been greatly exaggerated. These "bulr' ru-
mors of crop failures seem to have been less
successful this year than usual. judging from
the occasional crash of speculating firms that
have gone long" on wheat.
