Defaulter Archer Resigns.

Stevenson Archer, the defaulting state
treasurer, has resigned. His letter of
res gnation, which is dated March 81, was
received by Gov. jackson on his return
to Annapolis from Baltimore, where he
had been attendinga conference of the
joint committee appointed by the legisla-
ture to investigate the defalcation. The
communication was not written by Archer
himself, but was signed by him. He ex-
onerates all of the employees of his Office
from completely in the frauds and con-
fesses that he alone is to b'ame. The
resignation will probably not be accepted.
No formal charges have vet been preferred,
as the legislative committee desires to in
vestigate still further the affairs of the
state treasurer.

A special from Nashville, Tenn, to the
New York Herald, says: There is great ex-
citement at Snow Creek, Smith county,
Tenn, over an attempt on the part of q
number of citizens to compel Postmaster
Finn to leave the town. Several attacks
have been made on the postofice by armed d
men, and the postmaster's son has been
crippled for life While assisting his father
to protect the office. tt is also learned
that the American flag has been cut from
staff on the postoffice and torn to shreds.
The postaffice department sent an in
spector to investigate the matter. The re-
suit Of his labors was the arrest of eleven
men, three of whom were on Saturday
held in $4,000 bonds to await the action Of
the grand jury. Those opposed to Mr..
Finn say they will never tolerate republic

MAN who Deceived Her.

MAN VINO DGeefveN Her.
Mrs. Kate Waldruff, fascinating young
widow of East Buffalo, was widowed a
year ago. Her husband left her some

mirers and finally captured her heart. They
wers engaged to be married the week after

when the widow found that her affianced
husband had wife ard six small children,
who we're actually starving. She took
Mrs. Williams with her, bought two
POUNDS of red pepper and cow
h;de and reached the place on Peck
ham street, where Williams was working,
just as he was getting ready to quit for the
night. 4You contemplate whelp, was the
first salutation he had, and with it the
widow threw handful of pepper at him,
and when the faithles5 painter was pretty
we'll blinded the widow drew tine cowhide
from under her sealskin sacque and began
to use it with yigor. Williams yelled with
all his might and strove in vain to avoid
the cutting blows, but the cowhide kissed

the blows. The woman did not stop until
she was thoroughly exhausted. A doctor

Progress Of the Mississippi Floods.

Progress of the Mississippi Floods.
The crevasse in the leyee which broke at
Catfish point is now from 1,700 to 800
feet wide and increasing. The water
reached Greenville Saturday morning and
at night rose one foot in the streets and is
still rising rapidly. Washington avenue.
the main business street, is now one sheet
of water from the corner of Poplar street
to the race track and the water is making
its way over the sidewalks into the stores.
A great many people had to vacate their
residences to seek higher quarters on ac-
count of the sudden rise.
Parties who arrived from Greenwood, the
greater parter part of the journey being
made in skiff, described the situation In
the Sunfower lowlands as terrible. 1t is
astonishing how the water is spreading
over that vast tract of improved and culti-
yated lands and forests. In the neighbor-
hood Of Skipwith tents are badly needed
by the colored people. At every step the
colored laborer, his family and his all are
found destitute, arrayed in garments that
have seen their best days and afford them
but little comfort and protection. Ii no
assistance comes to these people many will
die from exposure. Food will soon be
needed and if not provided great suffering
will ensue. Government officers have done
great deal of good in that section, but
other localities are now showing signs OF
approaching distress.
In the vicinity of Winterville a great
many cattle are dying from disease called
hollow horn.
At Mound Landing, seven miles below
Catfish point, the river fell two feet Satur-
day, no doubt owing to the large break.
The outlook is not hopeful for the plant
ing of the overfowed region before May.
Just as soon as the water subsidies suffi-
ciently it is supposed the break will be
temporarily closed, SO that the crop may
be protected against any further rises this
season.
Much Distress Along the steele Bayou.
Nineteen negroes, survivors of large
party of refugees which attempted to es-
cape from the overflow down Bayou Falaya
on a raft, have arrived at Vicksburg on a
steamer. They report that twelve women
and children were drowned. The situa-
ton is growing daily more serious in the
Steele bayou country. Earl Miller, a
| prominent planter, arrived from there by
the steamer Evergreen with his family and
stock. The Miller plantation, though
very high, has gone under. The Ever
green reported that the water along
the bayous is rising. Cattle
and hogs are offered for sale by the people
for a song. Much more stock must yet be
brought out or allowed to drown. The
steamer Oceola, from the bend, reports
that the overflow is beginning to empty
into the Mississippi through Eagle lake,
| and predicts great increase of pressure
all along the Louisiana front from that
point southwark, for the next two weeks.
| There is most unmistakable distress along
Steele bayou and it would be cruelty to
| deny it. Three steamers leave here to-
| morrow, and will endeavor to bring out all
the people in danger.

HIS Bank Was a Trunk.

About week ago w. w. Hanworth, a
Baltimore & Ohio track walker at Paw
Paw, was robbed of about 81, 500, the ac-
cumulations of almost lifetime of labor,
which he kept in trunk in his cabin. A
reward of $500 led to the arrest of a young
man, but he was shown to be inno-
cent and the matter remained mystery.
To-day Mrs. Hanworth confessed to TAX
ing the money and turned over Social
she had left. II was her intention to have
eloped with a young railroad man, and 1t is
supposed he has the remainder of the
money. The Young man cannot be found.
