A BAD BREAK.
All Work URavailIng-Two Men and
Thirty Cattle Drowned.

Bayou SARA. La, March %.
Last night his section was visited by ter
rible wind and rain storm, The village of
Waterloo, six miles distant from here in
Pointe de Coupee Parish, has main levee
running Immediately in its rear and the pro-
lection of levee in front. The citizens
worked hard during the storm but all efforts
were unvailing as the protection of the levee
gave way this morsing and precipitated the
water with great force. A large dyke that
commanded the upper mouth of False river
also gave way. This dyke was built in 1850
and was 20 feet high with large base. The
break was caused BY an imperfect hume.
Two young men were drowned. This crevas-
see is very apt to cause q break in Protection
rives at Grossetete and overflow all that
valuable county. The water will affect the
river front and all the places on the Chevalle
including them of the New York warehouse
company. A fat boat in tow was swamped
yesterday and thirty cattle were drowned.

The Boston Police Raidlng on the
Gambling Houses.

BosToN, March 25.
As a result of the transfer of the police
captain, made by order of Mayor Martin, the
gambling houses are all closed tonight. 1t is
understood that this move is the beginning of
an active crusade against crime. Mayor
Martin says there is to be energertic enforce
meuts of the Law as long as he is mayor.
The charge of a collusion between the police
and illegal liquor sellers j. not the most Sc
rious matters brought to the attention of the
mayor. There are allegations of wholesale
crime in division three that are too revolving
for publication, and it is said that one great
mart of crime Of appalling extent fourished
there for years under the eyes of the police.
The latter claim that it is idle for them to
make complaints as cases do not get beyond
the municipal court, but are pigeen-holed in
the upper court.

FROM WASHINGTON.
THE STAR ROUTE INVESTIGATION.
Richard Crowley Before the Springer
Committee.
WASHINGTON. Mar. %.

WASHINGTON. Mar. %.
Richard Crowley, of Lockport n. Y, was
examined today by Springer's committee, on
reference to the compromise of the Ottmaan
case, Crowley being the attorney for Ott-
mann.
The witness denied the statement of Cook
that he had told him that he expected TO ef-
feet compromise because of his influence,
He said:
had been trying to return Conkling and
Plat to the United States Senate, and of
course was not in accord with the sdministra-
ton. As no action was taken from 1878 to
1882 said it was due to Ottmann either to
prosecute the cases. / advised Ottmann to
compromise. He claimed TO be innocent. but
the government held the indictments against
him, and could bring them out at any hour,
and l thought he had better buy his place.
The government held SIS. .525. which was in
the possession of Treasurer Gilfllan. l went
to Gilfillin and Bliss and insisted that an
amount equal to $4,000 in the Alexandria
Bank, and the interest, amounting to SIP, 700
be taken, out of the Sl9,525. This was
agreed to, and Bliss got for the United
States Sl2,700. l got my fee OF 5000 and
the balance was paid by me to Ottmann.
1T has been stated that Bliss got part of
your fee" said Springer to witness.
He did not, l am not sharing my fees"
Crowley replied. Crowley then detailed his
connection as government counsel in a
few cases. In one of the expense accounts
the item of 81 60 was disallowed THAT
was for cigars and whiskey," witness said,
"and got in inadvertly." MY bill in the
Buffalo bank case" he continued. Twas cut
down from $4,000 to S2700; when l sent my
bill in the comptroller was of the opinion
that as | was member of Congress | was
not able to draw two salaries from the gov
ernment. was not the only member of
Congress who was paid money for other
services"
''Can you name another?" asked Springer.
II was informed that you did that you re-
ceived 100000" replied witness.
"That's mistake" said Springer. q
argued case but never received fees"
"Conkliug was employed by the gov ern-
ment while senator" continued Crow ley,
land there are scores of others"
The witness was interrogated by the men,
bers of the committee regarding the present
system of paying United States marshals and
district attorneys. He replied that the whole
system should be abolished; | thought it had
been abolished long ago. the government
could save thousands of dollars.

alton Of hrs Stock.
Bosroy, Mar. 25.

BosToN, Mar. %.
The superior court today tried the case of
A. G. DYER, milk dealer, for selling adulter-
ated milk. The complaint did not state how
the milk was adulterated, and on motion of
the defendants counsel, the indictment was
auashed on that ground. The judge decided
that the statute of 1882 does not repeal gen.
eral statutes in relation adulterated milk, and
that the standard provided by the legislature
that milk which contains more than 81 per
cent water and less than Is per cent. of SOL
ids shall be deemed adulterated, and that
this would be the case if the milk was natural
milk. This complaint was made by the
board of health. and they will make the
pleadings and evidence in the milk COM
plants technical, and often difficult to prove.

iably presides over the sessions of the
Council. The sessions of the Council.
will be exclusively devoted to such
questions as affect the spiritual welfare
of mankind. The discussions will be
in English, but the grand result of the
meeting will be transcribed in Latin,
which is the language of the Roman
Church. A general idea of waat is to
done may be gathered from waa; was
done in 1866, when the second Plcnary
Council considered such important
subjects as the rights and duties of the
archbishOps, bishops and the clergy,
the rights of church property, the sac
rament, the education of youth, the
press, secret societies, the spiritual
welfare of the cOlOred people, the
primacy of the Roman POntiff, the
relations of the church to the state,
matters of faith, etc. The special pur-
pose of the present Council is said to
be the attainment of a larger freedom
for the parish priests. The idea APP
pears to be to make the management
of the church more democratic, and
thus to bring it more nearly into con-
formity with the method of our polit-
ical institutions"
