A CooI-Headed Young Lady Pre-
vents What Might Have Been a
Serious Disaster.
New Orleans Picayune.
At 9 o'clock last night an accident
occurred by reason of a contact be-
tween an electric light wire and one of
the wires of the Crescent City Tele-
phone Company, which but for the
presence of mind, bravery and skill Of
Miss A. G. Childress, night operator of
the Exchange, might have resulted in
a serious loss of property. and clused
no little inconvenience to the patrons
of the company.
Miss Childress say the bright flash
Of light on the switchboard and ran
behind the board where the light wires
connect the instruments and switch
board with the line wires, and with a
rapid downward stroke of a stick sew
cred all these wires, effsctually and in
stantly cutting off all communication
with the outside wires.
The fine large pole at the corner of
Common and Carondeltt streets, d.
rectly in front of the Exchange, took
fire and blazed up briskly. A few
buckets of water thrown from the up.
per window extingulShed the flames.
but the operators were compelled to
keep a supply of water on hand to ex-
tinguish the flames, which frequently
broke out afresh.

The Duke of Norfolk Roughly Ham
died.


LONDON, June ia meeting held
in Islington, a northern suburb of
London, last night; to support the
Conservative candidate for a seat in
the house of commons, ended in a riot.
The furniture Of the room in which
the meeting was held was smashed by
the turbulent mob. Several women
were so badly frightened by the up
roar that they tainted. One lady had
an arm broken and was conveyed to a
hospital. The speakers platform was
stormed by the crowd. The duke of
Norfolk, who is a Wing, was an occu.
pant of the platform, was roughly
seized by the neck, jammed up against
the wall and rushed off the stage. A
number of a~rlstocratic companions
who were with the duke, were badly
handled. The police were summoned
and succeeded in stopping the rloting.

Il The Cincinnati Price Current pub.
fishes the result of its special investiga-
lions In regard to the area and present
condition of the winter wheat of the
Mississippi Valley. The general re-
suits for acreage, as compared with a
year ago, are: Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan and Kentucky 100; Kansas, 95;
Illinois and Missouri, 90-total, about
964 per cent. The inference drawn
from the reports of condition is; Ten .
nessee and Michigan, 05; Missouri and
Indiana, So; Ohio and Kentucky, SO;
Kansas, 90; ana Illinois, 81. In some
cases the condition was reported as
"uncertain," the ground being covered
with snow, but this is favorable fact.

In or edition Of yesterday we puts
iishcd . dispatch from washington,
stating that the House Committee had
reported favorably the bill appropria-
ting $S,000,000 for the "purpose Of
closing gaps in, and strengthening the
levees along the Mississippi, and that
the money "Is to be expended by the
Mississippi river commission under
the control of the Secretary of War;"
We hope that the bill will pass and we
feel quite confident that Secretary
Whitney has the "grit" as well as the
discrimination to see that the work is
properly accomplished and that our
people will be protected from overflow
aoithOM Uncle Sam being swindied. In
other words: That more of this appro.
priation will be expended ON the
levees and less on luxuries. The peO.
pie ct the Mississippi Valley-especia
from Cairo to the Gulf, have claims
for protection against foundation which
cannot be denied bnt are admitted by
every sensible man who has any
individual knowiege of existing cir
cumstances.
1t is useless to enter into any details
here, why and wherefore these foods
occur-this has been explained by
engineering experts-but, the fact re-
mains, that when the Mississippi is
unusually high it causes the water in
| its tributaries to "back up" In the
year 1874 the current of the Ouachita
was up stream and raft of logs was
fioated to this city from IS miles 6elol
I town without the use of windlass OF
any other contrapation and this, too
in the month of June-and why P
because the Mississippi at red river
Landing checked the flow of the Qua.
chita Black and Red River waters, and
It devolved upon the Atchafaya river
Ito carry of much Of this flood water
While We do not anticipate a serious
ovsrflow this year, we do most posi-
lively request of our own Congress
men, as well as all others interested
that they continue to work assiduously
for the promotion Of the object in view
