DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION.
The Delta Country is in the Great
est Danger.

GSC DdnSGr.
ST. LOUIS. March 30.-J. J. Hogan. of
the Memphis Commercial, arrived
here to-day direct from the flooded
district along the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Hogan has Just completed
tour of the devastated region. He
says the sitnatiOn is alarming, and that
in his opinion the flood has not reached
the highest notch. In the Laconia
circle, which is situated in Desha county,
Arkansas, and comprises about 10000
acres, the scene is heartrending one.
This strip Of country is now
Inundated to depth of from
five to twenty feet, and the in
habitants, numbering between 1000
and 5000 people, whites and negroes,
women and children, are perched on
house tops and nay stacks and trees.
Live stock not already drowned are
maintaining precariOus existence with
their Wretched owners, in some in
stances on the roofs of residences
and elsewhere on imprOvised plat
forms Of Wreckage. Starvation is tell
ing on the cattle, while there are many
victims in scarcely less deplorable con-
ditiOn without food. From Helena the
entire Mississippi delta country, reach
ing from Vicksburg west to Shreve-
port and down to New Orleans, seems
doomed to destruction. Mr.. Hogan re-
ports that all the people in the wide
district threatened. who realize the true
situation, are fleeing for their lives.

RoBBER AND HoG ALSO.
Daring Theft by an Ohio Masked
Man.

LIMA. o., March S0.--One OF the most
daring highway rObberies ever commit
ted in this part of Ohio was perpetrated
Friday night by a lone masked man
about mile west of BlutftOn, near here.
The victim was G.. d. Miller, middle
aged farmer Miller had draft for
$500 cashed, and had obtained $50
more by the sale of some pigs. While
on his way home he was suddenly con-
frOnted bv man, the lower part OF
whose face was covered with hand
kerchief. As the stranger stepped up
he drew a revolver and showed the
weapon into Aillef's face saying: Il
want your money" Miller pulled out
the roll containing the $1,000 and passed
it over to the man. The fellow, how
ever, was not satisfied, and asked for
the additional $50 which Miller had re-
ceived for the pigs. Miller produced
this also. The rObber put the green
backs iuto his pocket amt told Miller to
proceed ON his journey forthwith.
Search is being made for the bold rob

TreenviIle, Miss, Is Entirely
Surrounded by the Waste
Of Water.
Trains Are Being Abandoned
On the Railways in Every
Direction.
People in Arkansas Perched
on House Tops, Hay Stacks
and Trees.

NICKSBURG, March 30.-1ne latest
news from the Mississippi levee is that
there is no change except that the water
is steadily advancing southwark from
Skipwith crevaSse, and the towns of
Mayersville, Filters and Hayes are be-
ing surrounded and must go under in
short time. The steamer Evergreen is in
from a second trip to Steel's bayou,
going as far as the drift would
admit and exploring the adjacent plan
tations in skiffs. Her officers report
tnaJ they found no suffering, that cattle
and stock had been removed and the
people were safe. The Evergreen leaves
again for Steel's bayou tomorrow. The
bayou is rising fast. News has just
reached here that the bank is cav
ing rapidly in front of Bedford
levee, Madison parish, the caving being
now within seventy-fve feet of the
levee. Work began there to-day, and the
leYee may be finished before the old one
goes into the river. The levee inspect
Ors elsewhere in Louisiana report no
change. Trains have been aban-
dOned between Greenyiile and Roll
ing Fork, and in fact all trains
on the Riverside division except from
Greenville to Hampton, twenty-eight
miles, and between COahoma aud BenOit,
siXty-fve miles. This leaves Green
vile without communication with the
outside world except by river. The
situation on the Mississippi Valley rail-
roads main line between the Yazoo
river and katZeneimer is very serious,
indeed.
Six Inches More
of water will send the Vicksburg,
Shreveport q Pacific railroad under be-
tween Tallulah and Lake One. The
water is rising slowly, but it is very un-
likely that the road can run trains more
than a week longer, and additional
crevasses may stop operations at
any time. F. w. McCabe. the
contractor for bridges for the
New Orleans & North western railroad,
until lately in process of construction
between Videlia and Winnsboro. La,
arrived this evening from Rayville. La.
He says work has been stopped, and the
construction company now has its teams
and men in Rayville. The water rose
five feet in Dry bayou, six miles from
Rayville, in the twenty-four hours
ending this morning, and is now within
halt mile of town. Grading has been
stopped some days, but would have been
resumed Monday but for the sudden in
fiuX of water. The transfer steamer
Marion. used by tie Mississippi Valley
railroad to transfer trains between
Huntington and Arkansas City, passed
down at O'Clock this evening, and viii
transfer trains at Nita crevasse, be-
ginning Tuesday next. The Arkansas
City branch being abandoned, she is
useless there. Greenville is now on an
island. Last night the town was in the
greatest danger of overflow, with lit
tie hope of keeping out the water. and
to-day the situation is unimproved,
though the levees are still standing. A
dispatch from Tallulah. La. says all
farmers east of that place are planting,
while all west are under water.

LONDON, Nov. 2o.-Itallan papers
report the arrival ut Verona Of the
nun, Sister Maria Caprini, who was
made q prisoner by the Mahdi in
1882 and who succeeded in escaping
from the Soudan a few weeks ago.
sister Caprinl, soon after having
taken the veil, had been sent TO the
southern province Of Egypt and had
stopped at Ell Obid with several OF
her companions and missionary
monks. On January !, lSs2, the
Alahdi, having defeated the army
Of Reouf Pashs, composed Of 5000
men, twenty-seven Of whom only
escaped alive, appeared before the
walls Of Obid. The city was CAP
tured after four months and a half
Of siege operations. The $500 Egyp-
tians who surrendered were massa.
cred in cold blood and tire inhabit-
ants driven away.
Sister Caprini and her companions
were thrown into prison anu suffered
terribly. One day the Mahdi,
angered by their refusal to embrace
the Moslem religion, ordered that
they should be taken from prison
and Re beheaied. Fortunately he
CHI aged his mind and sent them
b.ck 70 the ''zeribii," or Jail en-
closure, but only after their dresses
and clothing had been taken from
them.
Two sisters and one missionary
died soon after from want and Ill
treatment. During eight years the
prisoners were in the hands OF the
Soudanese, but two years after the
death Of the Mahdi they were a.
sisted In escaping by some native
Christians. They painted their
faces black, so as TO look like Afri-
cans, Travelled rapidly during many
nights, sometimes sailing down the
Balirelabiad and at other times
crossing the forest near the river.
Finally they reached Berber and
thence the British and Egyptian
advance post.
Sister Caprini, on her arrival at
Alexandria, embarked on n steamer
bound for Italy. She has gone To
Verona to visit her mother and
brother. who had given up all hope
Of ever seeing her again. 10 spite
OF the torments she has already suf-
fered, Sister Caprini enjoys very
good health, and she intends to re-
turn soon to the African missions.
