ABERDEEN, Miss, March 2s.-The Tom
bigbee river at this place is out OF its banks,
and large area Of country is under water.
Many small houses in the lowlands are
flooded, and the occupants have come up
to the city. Berg's staye factory and hun
dreds Of thousands OF stavcs are In imminent
danger OF being carried away by the food.
The Aberdeen tannery is four feet under
water, aud the damage done up 10 this
time will amount 10 some thousands OF
dollars. Motlow's cotton yard on the river
bank Is surrounded with water, and II the
rise continues, 500 bales of cotton will be
damaged. Mattuba creek, north OF the
city, Is out OF its banks, and the whole
section, including the compress and the llli-
nois Central railroad shops, are now
in the center OF an immense lake.
Canoes are In use on the Athens road in
stead Of horses and mules. The high
waters prevented the morning train Of the
Kansas City road from leaving tho city,
aud, as no connection has been made at
Amory for two DAYS on account OF the
washouts on the main line Of the road, Il
was useless TO make the attempt. Heavy
rains fell here all last week aud Il Is rain
ing now with no prospects OF let up.

A German scandal.

LONDON, February Goth. There
is likely soon to be All explosion Of
German wrath over the Crown
Princes bed. 1t seems that the
Germans have a notion that Sir
Morrel Mackenzie, at the beginn-
ing of the Princes illness, refused
to perform an operation, fearing
Immediately fatal results. He
hoped that by keeping the Prince
alive the Emperor might die first,
and by the accession of the Prince
to the throne the English Crown
Princess would attain imperial rank
and an immense fortune, which she
would miss if her husband died be-
fore his father. This suspicion of =
conspiracy to benefit the English is
soon to find expression.

This firm, which has SO long

into the field early, as usual. They
have just received large invoice OF
hats and shoes from Chicago. No
man need wear an old, dingy,
weather-beaten Winter hat any

exhibition. They have also some
very neat and suitable foot wear.
They attire man from neck to

Chinese Homicide.

On Saturday night All Gin, a
highlander from this city, went
down to Reno on the annual New
Year jamboree of his creed, where
he met All Chung In a smoking den
and demanded some money the lat
ter owed HIM. ALI Chung was re-
clinlng on a smoking couch watch
ing game of dominoes, when All
Gin entered and Immediately APP
preached Chung and began shower
ing explosives at his debtor. Chung
protested, when Gin drew a revolt

tim, both taking effect, one striking
the left leg below the knee and the
other penetrating the left groin,
severing the femoral artery. A
stampede Immediately took place
and in a second the dying celestial

Chinatown was soon in an uproar,
and curing the excitement the muir
derer made good his escape. But
little attention was paid to the
wounded man. and before lie Was
extinct, the tom-toms and "swin

The story Of a Terrible Fight 90 the Death
IN soath Africa.
rJtom tie Natal Wfins,s.I
Last Sunday week one Of the most remark
able scenes on record In reported as having
been witnessed in the vicinity Of Table
Mountain. A troop Of cattle. consisting Of
twelve COWS and o patrinrchal old bull, were
grazing ON one of the plnteau-like spurs Of
the mountain, which is surrounded on three
sides by p~reoipitous r~avines, and on the
fourth side, that nearest the mountain, by
dense bush. Some natives higher up the
mountain were attracted by the sudden bel
lowing Of the cattle. and saw two enormous
pythons coming out of the bush and making
for the cattle. which had drawn themselves
head. As the pythons drew near the animals
| gradually backed till they stood on a small
space that jutted out over q tremendous
precipice.
At this stage q sudden rush was made, but
only one heller succeeded in escaping. The
other cattle, believing most piteously, grad
| ually backed, and one by one fell over the
| precipice. till finally the bull only was left.
He suddenly charged at the big python.
second snake seized the bull in It's folds and,
having its tail around o huge boulder, COM
menced TO crush the bull, which. moaning
piteously, struggled frantically TO escape.
The tail of the python lost It's hold OF the
rock. but the larger snake. which had slipped
off the horn. tapping its tail around q
smaller boulder opposite the one the other
snake had Just released. seized the bull and
compressed the animal in its scaly fold.
The other python succeeded IN regaining its
former position, and the bull was literally
suspended in midair by the snakes. The
whole scene looked like some CHASTITY tri-
umphal march. The snakes were evidently
getting the best Of the Door brute, which was
bleeding profusely, when, by q sudden effort,
his struggle forced both reptiles to loose their
hold of the rocks, and the whole three were
hurled into the rayine beneath.
The cattle were found Oh the first ledge of
the precipice. all being dead. but the bull and
the pythons had bounded from ledge to ledge,
and were found 400 feet below the scene of
the 6ght: The bull was merely a manPled
mass and the snakes we're greatly mutilated,
the larger one having the. vertebre broken in
nine places. TIL pythons, which were of
the rock species, male and female, measured
respectively forty feet three inches and thir-
ty-six feet nine and q quarter inches.
