Destruction of Live Stock-Great Loss of
Property.
NIcKsBURG (Miss.) April 6th.-Nineteen
negroes, the survivors of large party of
refugees which attempted to escape from
the overflow down the bayou of Ealaga on
a raft. arrived on the steamer to-day. They
report that twelve women and children
were drowned.
The situation is growing daily more seri-
ous in Steeple Bayou county. Earl Miller,
prominent planter, arrived from there by
the steamer Evergreen with his family and
stock. Miller's plantation, though very
high, has gone under. The Evergreen re-
ports the water along the bayous as rising,
and cattle aud nogs are offered for sale by
the people at a song. Much more stock
must yet be brought out or allowed to
drown.
The steamer Osceola from the bends re-
ports the overflow beginning to empty into
the Mississippi through Eagle Lake, and
predicts great increase in the pressure all
along the Louisiana front from that point
southwark for the next two weeks
There is the most unmlstakable distress
along Steeple Bayou and it would be
cruelty to deny it. Three steamers leave
here tomorrow and will endeavor to bring
out all the people in danger.
CLOSING A CREvAssE.
ARKANSAS Cry ARK }, April 6th-Water
is rising very slowly here, caused by the
crevasse in Boggy Bay bayou The Gov
ernment engineers have left for that point
and will endeavor to close it.
CUTTING THE LEvEEs.
MEMPHIS (Tenn.l, April 6th-neports
from the lower Mississippi indicate a rise
more or less heavy. The river is falling
rapidly at Cairo to-day, aud it is expected
there will be rapid fall from now on.
Intelligence from Arkansas City is that
party Of armed men went down from
Redfork District and cut the levee at
Boggy Bayou and Possum Forks, in Loui.
siana, causing dangerous crevasse The
guard on patrol were removed several days
ago. The State authorities will try 10
close the gap.
A party OF negroes lately arrived in
Louisiana from North Carolina, got on an
improvised raft to escape the overflow in
the Bayou YOlaya, and being unused to
navigation they ran against a stump and
wrecked the raft and large number were
drowned.

PENSION BUREAU.
Commissioner Raum Makes Report to-
Secretary Noble


WASHINGTON, April chin his report
to Secretary Noble Pension Commissioner
Raum says he will be able BY the last of
May to cause an examination of every
claim pending in the office on the first day
of January last and have every claim al
lowed that is completed, and calls for the
evidence made in those not completed.
This result has been secured largely by
means of the order issued in the latter part
of December, requesting the examination of
claims pending and that all claims which
appeared complete be placed on the
completed files of adiudicated decisions
and directed 10 spend five days of each
week IN examining claims on these files
and one day exclusively to making call for
additional evidence, pending claims. As
the result of the examination, 90. .S57 claism
were put on the completed list"
subsequent order directing claims to
be placed on tiie upon application, accom-
panied by statement of facts showing the
claims to be completed, has, up to date,
added 70 55O cases TO those already on the
completed files" During the past three
months 52,229 of these cases have been
acted upon, leaving only 1913 cases re-
naming on the files. Applications at the
rate of 45O day are being received, and
hereafter every claim placed upon these
files will be taken up and acted upon
within one week.
The record for the past month shows
1854 pension certificates, S,1S3 of them
original, the issue being the largest numb
ever issued in one month by the Pension
Bureau.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Where it is Grown and Whence Shipped
North VS.. South

Where it is Grown and Whence Shipped
North VS.. South
In review of the fruit-growing industry
of the State, the San Francisco Bulletin of
Saturday last gives the following facts of
interest:
The table below giving fruit shipments
by rail from the different fruit producing
sections of the State during the year 1889
shows the vast difference between Southern
and Central and Upper California in the
matter of production. The fruit regions of
the San joaquin, Sacramento and Santa
Clara valleys forwarded three times as
much as the southern counties, including
in the latter their large orange product
Excluding citrus fruits from the southern
shipments, the upper part of the State, as
will be seen, shipped over forty five times
as much fruit as Southern California This
difference will steadily increase, ds plant
ing of deciduous trees is constantly going
on in this part of the State, and shipments
of citrus fruits will soon begin and rapidly
grow in volume as the thousands of new
trees come into bearing. The following
figures represent the pounds of fruit
shipped East by rail from the shipping
points given
