The LEvEE CoNvENrioN.~We
print elsewhere the resolutions
adopted by the Levee Convention
of Baton Rouge of Is and 10 lust.
They are composed in the proper
spirit, cover all the ground that 4
recommendatory assembly of citi
zens could be expected to touch,
and show that the delegates were
impressed with the proper ideas
regarding the protection of Lower
Louisiana from iuundation in the
future.
The first resolution is especially
to he commended. No one wants
an extra session of the Legislature,
except a few jobbers who calculate
upon personal gain from it.
The late Legislature has died
aud been buried in peace and tran
guilty. Let not its bones be dis
turbed.
The second and third resolutions
are important, as no system..ot pro
lection for Louisiana can be made
effectual, unless the rebuilding of
the Levees in Arkansas from the
Louisiana line to the Arkansas riv
er, be included and made part of
the same.
Resolution 4 is also to be com
mended. Let the penitentiary
birds be made to do good service
by requiring them to keep in repair
and rebuild all our levees.
Resolution 5 is also good. Rail
road companies have always on
hand materials and trained hands,
with transportation, that can be
thrown at any point, in a very
short time, and a crevasse can be
closed before arrangements could
be made to begin work otherwise.
Resolutions endorsing the plans
of the river commission are..eminent
" wise. That commission has the
money to do the work and should
have all the moral support, that
can be given, to its efforts.
The remainder of the report !
speaks for itself. 4
The Convention did its work
we'll.

WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION! -
The most serious disaster, arising
from a stampede among children
took place in Sunderland, England,
June 16, 1888.
At Sunday school celebration
in which were q great number of
children, from some cause some OF
the children in passing out fell
down, and in a few moments hun
dreds of children were piled upon
top of one another as they fell
from a stairway.
1t is probable that the deaths
which were instantaneous, and the
result of hurts received amount to
fully 200.
Some families lost all their chill
dren. !.
This horror may be credited to
the narrow passage way by which
the children were seeking egress
from the building.

some one to blow their horn.
This orator was named George
II. Braughn.
In Boston, he drew very long
breath and broke loose thus
II, like my friend. happened to be in the
State of Louisiana when Gen. Butler thought
fit. in the fall Of 1862, to send q little expedi
ton up the country under the command Of
Gen. WhitetOrt. At Labadieville Gen. White
fort met the brigade If which l was a very
hubble member. and the result was we got
out of the way"
Gen. Weiizel was the name that he
was trying to get at, but when he
''got out of the way," he got away
SO fastIhe did not exactly catch the
name.
Braughn once was a member OF
the Crescent Regiment. That Reg
iinent with the 18th Regiment con-
solidated at Tupelo in May 1862,
but separated into the original
commands, Que week previous to the
fight near Labadieville, and fought
the federal forces at Texana Lane,
aided by Rolston's Battery on Oct,
q 1862.
They held the enemy at bay
nearly an entire half, day and the
prisoners who were captured. we're
complimented by Gen. Weitzel for
the gallant stand they had made,
not only this, but Gen. W%eitzel, on
account of their gallantry, so ex-
pressed by himself, paroled all the
prlvates, and let them 60 to their
homes, instead of sending them
prisoners to New Orleans.
We do not desire to do MI.
Braughn any. injustice. He may
have been in the fight at Texana
Lane. If he was, our memory is
wrong; and if he was, he was more
fortunate than the majority of the
officers of the Crescent Regiment,
who were captured, and were sent
prisoners to New Orleans.
1t is true that the Confederates.
or about one half of them did get
away. 1t is also true, that about
200 Confederates held three eutire
regiments Of FedeIals at bay for
several hours and only attempted
to fall back, under orders, when the
battery had exhausted its ammuni
ton, and the position occupied,
was being fanked. -
At all events, 1t was not in very
good taste for this modern Demos
themes to So speak of command, of
which we admit he was once a every
humble member. as to have his
hearers infer that the CoDfede
rates, did, on that occasion, do moth
ing but run.
No more gallant, enthusiastic,
or patriotic soldiers, were found in
the tanks of either army than we're
the men who composed the rank
and file of the Crescent Regiment,
and if the perambulatiug o lators
no better way of curryiog fa>
vor among the BostoniaDs than by
casting slurs upon former comrades
they had better hold their peace.

CRIMES.
The Police OF Boston Startled by
the Revelations Of a Police
Court.

BosroN, Macs, April 30.--A woman
named Mary Walcott, but styling her.
self Nine. Wslcott, a medium and
c~lairvoyant, 10 years of age, has kept
a house of Ill repute at No. 1873 Pleas.
ant street for some time past, previous
to which she was located at No. ~
Carver street, and has been In the
habit of enticing young girls whose
ages are between IA and 16 into ne
farious business. The police have on
several occasions attempted to break
up this den, but upon securing war.
rants could not use them, owing to
inability to secure witnesses to testify.
Last Saturday one of the girls was
arrested, and upon information re-.
oeived from her sufficient to convict
Mrs. Walcott q warrant was procured,
but she was foundt to have deserted her
quarters at No. 1873 Pleasant street.
After watching the house nearly all
Saturday night, q little girl who had
been 9 Q to enter the house twice
during the night was arrested, and
divulged the woman's quarters to be
at Nc. 10 Oxford street, whittier the
officers repaired, and with the assist.
anoe of Officers Connors and Hudson
arrested Mrs. Waloott and the remain.
Ing six girls In her employ, whose ages
vary from IA to 16 years.
To-day the case of Nine. Walcott
came up In the police court, and she
was held In the sum of 81, 500 on six
charges of abduction and of keeping a
house of LII fame. The testimony at
this womsn's hearing was that of ak
school girls, ranging from fourteen to
sixteen years of age, whom she had
entioed from good homes. The teati.
mony was ~sickening in the extreme.
The girls had been In the woman's
power since September last. Some of
the girls attend school daily, going to
the house after school hours and about
9 o'clock In the evening returning to
their homes.
They are kept In school for the pur-
pose of procuring other school. girls
for like purposes. An employe of one
of the northern railroads, who was
called away from home recently, leav-
Ing his sick wife in charge of his little
girl, returned the other day to ind his
wife dead and his girl an inmate of
Nine. Wslcott's den.
The developments In the case to-day
have served to create great excitement
throughout the city. With possibly
three or four exceptions the young
girls are members OF respectable fsmi
lies, and some of the families are held
In high esteem. Much indignation
prevails, and threats to burn the
house of Nine. Walcott are freely ut
tered. Detectives have been engaged
by the families of the school girls, and
their despoilers will be hunted down.
Then a series of suits for seduction will
be begun. 1t is stated that many
schools of the city have been cor
rupted In a like name during the
last year.

Prize Fighting IN Chicago.

Chicago Herald.
A desperate prize fight took place
at the stock yards Yesterday, the prin.
cipals being two local bruisers named
John Kelly and James, alias Ysnk,
Cunningham. The mill was for a
purse of $50, made up by sports of the
Vicinity, and came eff without the
knowledge of the police. Both men
were about evenly matched, but
the betting was In favor of
Kelly. Some days ago they
fell out over q dispute and agreed to
settle their differences according to the
osnons laid down by the Marquis of
Queensbury. The affair was to have
taken place Monday but the police got
wind of 1t and surprised the party at
the corner of Wood and Forty.fourth
streets as they were engaged In put
ting up the ring. No arrerts were
made, and the seconds and principals
agreed to have the matter out yester.
day. Late In the afternoon they met
south of the packing house district,
near Ashland avenue. The event was
q mere slugging affair, neither party
showing any ~scienoe:
Kelly won first blood, and had the
best of the fighting all the way through.
In the third round Cunningham was
knocked clean off his feet by o power
tul Highlander In the jaw, and In the
next two rounds he was so badly pun.
ished that his friends tried to dissuade
him from continuing the fight. He
persisted, however, and was badly
punished. In the seventh round Gun
ningham failed to come to time and
Kelly was declared the victor.
The v%anquished man was so badly
used up that, for a while, it was fear.
ed he would die. He was conveyed
home by friends, while Kelly at once
disappeared. Those who witnessed
the affair, said nothing of it, for
prudential reasons, and 1t was not I'm.
til a late hour last evening when the
police got hold of the facts. A phyai-
clan stated Cunningham life was out
of danger, and a fruitless search wss
made for his antagonist. Up to 2
o'clock this morning Kelly was still at
large. He Is known to the police as q
tough Bhoodlum, an occasional EN-.
ploye about the packing houses. Gun.
bingham Is q brother of "Spot" Cum
ningham, the politician, and also bears
a hard name.
