homeless and destitute.
Meantime the relief committees are
doing all in their power to render aid to
the stricken.
A water famine is now threatened in
serious earnest.
The river, already at such high stage
that the injury to the pumping station at
the water works could not be repaired,
is going up, and so long as the food con-
tinues nothing can be done. President
Long has issued another warning to con-
sumers, and estimates that the reservoirs
now barely hold three days supply for
the city.
The last of the dead are being laid
away to-day

VICKsBURG, Miss, Ayril 1.-The
town of Skipwith, eight miles north of
here, was swept out of sight on Satur-
day by the water from big crevasse at
the south end of Lake Washington
Only one residence remains-that of j.
A. Root. The water is from four to ten
feet deep in the stores, and all except
the stone buildings are gone.
Efforts to rescue stocks of goods
proved futile and dangerous, and, in
consequence, were abandoned. So sud-
den was the inundation that no one had
more than time to make hasty run for
the intact portion Of the dyke north of
the crevasse. Few saved even full
suit of clothes

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April /. - Will
lam Traynor, the station agent at Posey-
vile, was waylaid by tramps while on
his way home Thursday. He was found
Friday morning in a ditch between the
depot and his home. The exposure to
the terrible weather precludes any pos
sibility of his recovery. A sand-bag
was found near him. How much the
villains succeeded in getting is not
known. Mr.. Traynor is a highly es-
teemed young man, and should the per-
petrators of the crime be apprehended,
or even suspected, there is enough feel
ing in Poseyville over the affair to in
sure lynching.
