| SUSPECTED ASSASSINATION PLOT.
SPRINGFIELD, H., March Ex-Governor
| Hamilton was in his Office in the state house
this afternoon, when pistol bullet crashed
through the window in the executive man
sion. A man at work in the vicinity said
the shot was fired by a boy shooting at
pigeons, but from the fact that the occur
renee is precisely of the same nature as one
that preceded it q short time ago, there are
approximations of plot to assassinate the
state executive.
CYCLONE.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 24.-About day
break this morning, cyclone passed over
| 10,
hia. Considerable damage was done to farm
property. Eye witnesses describe the storm,
which approached with a terrible roaring
sound, bursting upon the people almost as
soon as seen. G. T. Taylor, hearing the
storm coming, called his wife, who jumped
from bed and ran into the next room, fol-
lowed by her husband. Almost instantly,
the bnilding was leveled and heavy timbers
pressed on Taylor and his wife to the floor.
Both were severely injured.
MINE EXPLOSION.
| JoHNsTowN, Pa, March 24.-There was a
| slight explosion of fredamp in the Mill coal
mine of the Cambria Iron company, at this
! place, this morning. The magnifcd reports
which have been telegraphed over the coun-
try are untrue. Three men and a boy were
very slightly burned, but none dangerously
There had been small accumulation of Gas
over Sunday, and when the miners went 10
work it ignited from coming in contact with
naked lamps. The fan had not yet been put
in full motion. The mine is one of the best
ventilated in the country, and generates but
very little gas. The explosion did not dam
age the mine. Hereafter the Waterman will
inspect the mine every morning, before the
miners are permitted to enter.
THF FLOOD.
BATON ROUGE, March 24.-NIulatto Point
crevasse is widening steadily, and tremen-
dous volume of water is pouring through
The belief is that no sugar will be made in
West Baton Rouge the coming season. The
crevasse at Waterloo, six miles below Bayou
Sara, on the west side, is adding volume 10
the overflow from Morgansea, above, and
Mulatto point, below. Many threatened
places along the levees are strengthened and
small breaks closed. The water is reported
pouring over many levees, and is driven
over others by the wind. This morning the
river reached the high water mark of 1874,
but since S a. III. it has fallen two and one
half inches, doubtless caused by the ere
vase reported at Bachelor, and at Stewards
Lake Side plantation, mile above Raccoons.
VICKsssuRG, March 24.-The Kemp levee,
below here, broke yesterday. The levee,
in front of Delta court house, broke last

five feet deep.
