MEMPHIS, Msrch THE steamer James
Lee arrived this afternoon from Friar's
point bringing twenty negroes from of
the submerged farms. These officers re
port all the country between Memphis and
Helena, Ark, under water, saving where
strips of the levee yet remain.
Austin, Miss, is overfowed with water
to depth of several feet which rushes
through the town.
The new levee at Delta, broke on Mon
day which will cause serious damage to
many valuable farms. The rapid rise in
the st. Francis river has caused great loss
to lumbermen, as thousands of logs are
swept away by the swift current. Much
suffering exists among the inhabitants of
the sunken lands and their isolated posi-
ton makes it almost impossible to afford
them any relief.

KEwANER, ILL.,, March THE final act
in the trial of Sylvester K. Mackinson for
the murder of Mrs. M. A. Copeland, took
place to-day at Cambridge, Judge Pleas
ants presiding. During last night small
parties kept arriving in Cambridge until
all hotel accommodations were overfowed,
and as the morning dawned the crowd
still increased until the court house
was packed. The presence of SO
large a throng alarmed the Off
GERS, they fearing that it was the
intention to mob the prisoner before sem
tence could be pronounced. But their
fears were alIayed, and the prisoner
brought into court. The judge then,
amidst a breathless silence, calmly re-
viewed the case, and ended by sentencing
the prisoner to be hanged on the 18th day
of May next. The justice of this sentence
is universally conceded by the people in
this vicinity. The murder occurred in
August last, and was entirely unpro-
voksd. Mrs. Copeland was alone in
her house on a farm about three
D1llSo lIOn1 LAcMduCO. WAS
q farm hand ana had been well treated by
the family. She was found murdered on
the return of her husband about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. Mackinson was sus-
picioned and arrested and finally confessed
the deed, No satisfactory motive was ever
kEown but it is believed that he attempted
to outrage the woman and being foiled
killed her to prevent exposure. Since the
sentence it has come out that on organized
band of some fifty men were in the court
house to-day thoroughly organized to
hang Mackinson if the court
did not pronounce the death
penalty. Rope and all necessary
tools were concealed beneath the capacious
coats of the grim citizens from the neigh
borhood where the murdered woman lived
so that the fears of the sheriff were not al
together unfounded.
1t is well as ii is, and the people are sat
isfed, believing that justice has beer
done.

ARKANSAS AND WESTERN TENNESSEE.
ST. LOUIS, March IA dispatch from
Helena, Arkansas, says: The breaking of
the levee near Friar's Point yesterday, will
be very disastrous to a large number OF
planters and other people of the section
and that good deal of land never under
water before, will be overfowed. Friar's
Point delta and all towns for twenty miles
back from the river will be greatly dam
aged and planters will lose much of their
live stock, corn and other supplies.
Accounts from western Tennessee, say
great damage has been done in Lake and
other counties along the river. Much
stock has been lost and many houses,
fences and good deal of corn and cotton
swept away. Some towns are completely
isolated but no actual suffering is yet re-
ported.
MORE HOPEFUL FEELING MANIFESTED.
MEMPHIS, March IA special Helena,
Ark, dispatch says: The crisis has been
reached here, though it can scarcely be
said to have passed. The heavy wind of
last night prevailed throughout the day
and seriously threatened demolition to
much of our levee front, while the new
levee at Williamson's, three miles below,
has momentarily been expected to give
away. A more hopeful feeling is mani
tested this evening. Scarce an inch rise
in twenty -four hours and only two
inches rise is reported at st. Francis
At Madison the Iron Mountain and South

efforts to aid our people in fortifying

upon life and is now making rapid strides

vived, and it is again the theme
of conversation. 1t is confidently asserted
by Vermillion's counsel that his trial,
which is set for March 13, will positively
take place on that date. If the
case should be called and tried it
will be without the presence of
Miss Bond, as her physician says that it
will be impossible for her to appear then.
VermilIion's attorneys claim that hei and
they are anxious for the trial, and will in
sist upon having it, claiming that the doc
tor Is innocent. In order to bring thei1
case before the court in the absence OF
Miss Bond, they propose to admit that the
outrage was committed upon her at the
time, at the place, and in the manner
specified, relying solely upon their ability
to prove an alibi.

refuses to say how he was wounded. At
IL O'Clock he appeared at the Office of DR..
Leonard, accompanied by friend and so
weak that he was scarcely able to stand.
His clothing was saturated with blood and
one of his boots full of gore. The doctor
chanced to be out at the moment he ar
rived, and some one who was there asked
Kroger how he happened to get cut. He
said that it had happened on the South
Side, and that his watch was probably what
the fellows were after. Leonard dressed
the wounds, two cuts, one of them being
in the left breast and the other in the left
| thigh, and which look as if done with
pocket knife. Neither wound is danger
Gus, but the loss of blood has weakened
Kroger considerably, and DR.. Leonard
says that he may have a serious time Of it
yet. Mr.. Kroger's friend, who accompanied
him to the doctors Office and who was COR

acting and talking, told a reporter that ii
was just little family affair, nothing
