GREENVILLE INUNDATED.

A Break in the Protection Levee
Sends the Flood on That City.
GREENvILLE, Miss, Special.-The Ipro-
lection Ievee north of the city gave way at
noon despite the most heroic effors on the
part of the people and the waters
poured in upon a city which since it's
existence has been above. the level of
the Mississippi at its greatest height The
flood is a tremendous one, and the volume
of water that is pouring in from three
breaks above is spreading out in
all directions inundating plantation
after plantation, which in the
food of 1882 were above water. 1t
is estimated by engineers that large por
ton OF the city will not be flooded, and
that the greatest height the water will
reach in the lower parts will be three
down above Greenville and nothing has
been heard from the levees to-day.
The water from the Austin break will have
an outlet into the YaZoo river, which Will
inundate large section of country in Sun-
flower and Yazoo counties. The water has
reached Washington avenue, one ofthe prin-
cipal business streets of the city, and
the people are navigating in skiffS. Two
white men and one negro, coming from
Stoneville to Greenville in a skiff to-day,
were drowned by the upsetting of the boat

casualties have resulted from skiffs coming
in contact with wire fences and other hid

OPERATED IN'THE COUNTRY.
A Brace of Burglars With Penchant
for Rural Safes.

lOI HNit cll SotSSs
DUBUQUE Iowa, Special Telegram,
For the past three months gang OF
safe blowers has been terrorizing South
western Wisconsin and Northwestestern
illinois. On an average OF twice week
country hamlet has been entered, two or
three safes cracked, the contents taken and
the burglars make their escape without
leaving clue The safe blowers have paid
their attention impartially to safes in post
offices, railroad depots and general stores.
A list of some of the safes cracked
is as follows: Jan. "a safe be-
longing to the Adams Express com,
pany, standing in the Chicago Milwaukee d
St Paul depot at Darlington, Wis, was
blown open and $3.50 taken. Five weeks
later the same safe was again blown. This
time jewelry to the amount of $500 was Sc
cured. March IS the safe in the Chicago,
Milwaukee IL st. Paul depot at Platteville,
Wis, was blown and $40 in cash taken.
The same night the safe in the Chicago q
Northwestern depot at Platteville was blown
and $50 secured. On the same night also
the safe in Knoernscheld's butcher shop in
Dubuque was entered and 5000 in money
and securities distracted. March 81 the
safe in the Hazel Green (Wis) pOstottice
was cracked. Booty to the amount of $196
in postage stamps and S25 in cash was Sc
cured. The same night the safe in Me-
Cams general store in Hazel Green was
blown. The next night the burglars went
to Georgetown, Wis, and
PAID THEIR RESPECTS
to the postottice safe, securing $50. Sales at
Freeport ILL.,, Mineral Point, Darlington,
Monroe and Potosi, Wis, have also been
opened within the past month and plunder
to the amount of thousands of dollars Sc
cured. Suspicion pointed first to two men
who have been driving through the country
pretending to be agents for nursery and
agricultural implement house. They drove
q small bay horse, hitched to twO-wheeled
gig. This outfit was seen tied all night in
several villages, where next morning one or
two safes would be found blown open. The
men gave the names of Shelby and Ken
nedy on their prospecting trip. Their head
quarters were in Dubuque. Here they
passed as the Bennett brothers.
They rented cottage and lived with
men came here three months ago from
Memphis, Tenn, where they have the rep
utatiOn of being experienced and hardened
criminals. To-day officers came to Dubuque
from several points in Wisconsin and
Illinois. The men were located in the
house and an officer set to watch. Some
one Of the women in the house got tip
that the police were on guard, and when
the officers made the descent the birds had
flown. The house was searched and $19S i'll
postage stamps taken from the Hazel Green
postotfice were found, together with much
other stolen property. The sheriff and Of
ticers are crazy at their failure to capture
the burglars. kilograms have been sent to
various cities, but the men wanted are very
smooth and will hardly be CAPTURED.

KILLED AND QUITO PIECES.

Boys Near LeaVenworth, Kan, Dis
covered the Dismembered and
Dlsemboweled Body of a Woman.
LEAvENwoRTH. Kan, Speciai.-An un-
usually horrible affair has been uncovered
here, by the discovery in the Missouri river
by two boys of the dismembered head and
disemboweled body of a woman. The legs
had been cut off, while bullet wound on
the let side ofthe head, just behind the ear,
showed clearly how death had come in the
first place. A German nam ed Mettman had
reported to the police last Monday that his
wife Julia had disappeared the evening Le-
fore. John Mettman, Jr., II fireman on the
Rock Island railroad, was sent for. He
identified the body as that of his mother.
After a search, u gUnny sack was found
some distance from the place where the
body was discovered, containing one of the
legs of the dead woman. the heart and in
testines, but the other leg is still missing.
mains of his wife was conveyed
to Mettman, but he showed no sign of i'm
terest. He had stated that his wife had
sewed $40 in the lining of her dress when
she disappeared, but no trace of the money
was discovered. When the police had a
talk with the dead woman's daughter the
affair began to take on a different aspect
The girl said her father and mother
had some time ago agreed to sep
arate, but had subsequently made it up.
Sunday afternoon the mother went to a
neighbors house to make a visit and left
there about o'clock, saying she intended
to go home. That was the last seen of her
alive. A careful search of the premises
showed trail of blood on the sidewalk
opposite the house. 1t is the theory of the
police that the wife was killed by the hus-
band Sunday night and the body concealed
until Thursday night, when it was cut to
pieces, placed in the gunny sack, and under
the cover of the heavy storm which pre-.
vailed carried to the river and thrown in.
