NEW ORLEANS, April 1.-The situation
today along tie front of the Yazoo dis
trict is desperate. Crevasses continue, and
it looks as If the greater part of the Yazoo
Delta will be flooded. The water from the
breaks up the river is moving southwark
rapidly, and the country for many miles in
land is submerged. Mayorsville, Filters and
Hayes are still in great danger. Work on
the New Orleans and Western railroad has
been stopped by the overflow from the Pc

this break. 1t has been found impossible to
close the crevasses except below this city.
Those above continue to grow larger.
The Nita break Is 1000 feet wide, and that
at Pecan Grove nearly mile. The various
Mississippi breaks aggregate nearly mile.
The losses as yet are not very large, except
in stock. Many refugees have come here
from the flooded districts.

had been living in the lofts of some of the

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, April 1.-For the
past six months the carpenters and joiners
have been perfecting their organization look
ing toward asking for nine hours day. The
success which attended their efforts has been
very encouraging, as today they commenced
on the nine hour system. An effort will soon
be made to organize branch Of the Plumb
ers and Gasftters' Union, as the mechanics
in this town are not united as yet.
WHITMAN, Mass, April 1.-The Carpen-
ters' Union commenced upon the new plan
of working nine hours day. and not an OBJ
lection was raised by the builders. A notice
was sent all the contractors about one month
ago, asking for this, and 1t met with ready
response on the part of the builders.
A large contractor said today: I'VE have
not taken much work yet, but as all the
builders are obliged to work in this way do
not think it will affect our business to any
extent"
The union here includes nearly all the car
penters in town and several Of the contrac-
tors.

The six other master painters have adopted
the nine hour plan without reduction of pay,
only Mr.. Butler refusing. A part of the
strikers are non union men.
Haverhill carpenters did not 60 to work on
the nine hour plan today, but on May they

An Issue In milwaukee,

TOPEKA, Kan, April 1.-Elections were
held In Kansas today In sixty cities for coun-
cilmen and members of the school board In
nearly all the cities no political lines were
drawn, the battles being fought on purely To-
cal issues. The only interest attaching to
the elections was the exercise OF the suffrage
by women, who are permitted under the
laws Of Kansas to vote for city officers and
members of the school board. The women
at Manhattan two years ago captured all the
city offices. The prospects were that their
ticket would be elected over the three others
in the field today. They had control OF the
election machinery. having appointed wom-
en- judges and clerks Of election at all pre-
cincts.
At Leavenworth interest In election CEN

ing, who ran for the council on Republican
nomination. Women candidates for the
school board in three wards were nominated
by the Republicans; Something over 6,00o
women registered, but not over half went TO
the polls. The Democrats ran a straight
male ticket, and II was elected with the ex-
cepti0n OF the first ward councilman. All
the women candidates were defeated. At
EmpOria the women were worked up to the
highest pitch Of political excitement over the
candidacy Of Mrs. Jackson for reelection as
a member OF the school board. The issue
was made on the proposition Of Mrs. jack
son TO reduce the salaries Of school teaehers
in the interest Of economy. The returns at
o'clock indicate Mrs. Jackson's reelection.
The women at Atchison had three candi-
dates In the field for reelection to the school

HOW YOUNG HARDING DIED.
Caught on a Rapidly Revolving Shaft
and FrlehtfuIly angIed.

RUMFoRD, Me-, April 1.-The death of
young Challes Harding in the spool mill In
Milton Plantation yesterday, was one of ter
rible violence. Harding had gone under the
mill to clear spout through which sawdust
Is carried away. He had been under the
mill but minute when the crew were start
led by the sound of heavy body in the ma
chinery. Instantly Richard Farnham sprang
to the gate wheel and shut off the water,
and then ran down the ladder in the end of
the mill at the same time Mr.. r. ID. Rand
ran down under the mill another way. I'm
agine their horror when they saw the legless
trunk of young Harding revolving on a
shaft which makes over 800 revolutions
minute. Pieces of flesh were strewn all
over the lower part of the mill, and clinging
to the timbers and shafts were shreds Of
flesh and drops Of blood. The mill is run at
such high rate of speed that the shaft
probably made several hundred revolutions
alter the water was turned off.
In moment, however, it stopped, and
there on the shaft lay what had been but a
moment before the active, energetic body of
Charlie Harding, now bearing no human
sembance to him except the face, which was
uninJured save bruise upon the chin. There
was not shred of clothing on the body ex-
cept small handkerchief. which he had
tied around his neck, and one wristband of
his shirt. His legs were torn from the body.
His arms were wound around the shaft like
a whiplash, and the bones broken in pieces.
1t was with difficulty that the trunk was re-
moved from the shaft.
Mr.. Rand thinks that the only way to ac-
count for the accident was that the belt
which carries the endless chain must have
been off, and that young Harding endeavored
to put it on, thing Mr.. Rand never allows
any one to do while the mill is running at
high speed. Young Harding must have tried
to put on the belt when the mill was going at
high rate, and caught his mitten or sleeve
nK.d ftnW hi n htrs. Atawa
was not over two feet to swing his body in
without striking heavy ten-inch timbers.

HALIFAX, April lime hundred and
twenty-six ocean steamers, aggregating 1885,
1856 tons. arrived at Halifax from foreign
ports during the quarter ending the 31st of
March.
Schooner Zulu, Mckay master, from st.
John for Weymouth, N. s., with general
cargo, struck a rock In Petite passage, Mon
day morning and sank. The crew were
saved no insurance.
On the last passage OF the Allan line steam
or Polynesan from Halifax to Liverpool,
young girl named Mary lyman, committed
suicide Dy jumping overheard She was put
aboard the Pelynesian at Halifax with a
steeraee ticket for Derry, Ireland. She
seemed to be quiet, sensible girl, but on
the second day out she left the steerage and
was seen rOa ing about the quarterback, a
part of the ship prophibited to her class Of
passengers. The deck hands had their at
tention directed to her by one of the cabin
passengers who screamed, There is wom-
an trying to get overheard" The man who
was nearest to her at the time, rushed for
ward and caught her just as she was In the
act OF climbing over the rail. TIE chief
steward. to secure against a second attempt,
had her removed to the intermediate cabin
where an attendant was set to watch her.
She escaped him the next afternoon and was
again In the act Of jumping overheard when
captured. She appeared very angry at be-
ing thwarted That night she cOnversed for
long time with the b0atswain's boy, who
like herself, was native Of Derry. She
gave him the key of her trunk with solemn
instructions that he was to turn it over to
the parish priest of Derry Immediately on
the arrival Of the steamer at Moville. She
had well-stOcked trunk and said she
wished her clothes to be distributed among
the poor people of Derry. She told the boy
she was put on board the steamer against
her will and that she was going to drown
herself rather than go back to her parents In
disgrace and with horrible sin on her soul.
The boy says her people are eminently re-
spectacle and well to do. Early the next
morning, the fourth day out, she asked he-
keeper TO bring her drink of water. Dur
ing his absence, she no doubt rushed on
deck and jumped into the ocean. She was
gone some time before they discovered the
fact. The steamer was crossing the New
f0undland banks at the time. The young
woman, being dependent on charity, was
put on board the steamer to be carr led
home, by the Halifax authorities.

Mr.. Coodall's Experiencs As a Sports

How Speaker Reed Spends the Busy
Hours of the Day.
He Rises Early And Loses No Time
in Getting to Work.



Hon, Ernest M. Goodall of Sanford came
after spending the winter in. Florida. He is
looking brown as nut and is as happy and
hearty as he looks. He has been spending
the winter in Florida in an ideal way. his
yacht, which he took down from Maine last
year is in Indian river, and since last
December lie has been cruising up and down
that beautiful inlet which extends ,along the
eastern coast of Florida for about hundred
and fifty miles, shooting and fishing To
begin with the large game first. Mr. Goodall
has shot seven alligators. Then he has
killed ducks without number, and fished
until he was tired, in the teeming waters of
that unrivalled fishing ground. One fish Mr..
Goodall did not succeed in getting, the great
tarpon or silver king. This kingly fish of
Southern waters is the most desirable prey
the professional sportsman can capture; and
the man who has succeeded in mastering one
is considered worthy of all honor On the
east coast of Florida. While at st. Lucie
Mr.. Goodall saw Senator Quay come in with
fine tarpon which he had just caught. The
Pennsylvania Senatori is a very successful
tarpon fisherman, in the estimation of the
sportsmen of Indian river. 1t is only re-
Gently that sportsmen have considered that
the tarpoon could be caught with hook and
reel and it is often matter Of hours or a
day even to tire out and land one of them.
Mr. Goodall reports that he saw the tarpon
very plenty, and jumping around his boat
at times after manner that makes the
sportsman's heart beat high.
