The Brake at Bayou Sara.


A Bayou Sara special, relating to the
great Morganza crevasse, says the water
there is only foot or less below the crown
OF the levee, which, at the break, was
twenty-six feet high with base OF over
200 feet. The break 10 now some l,50O
feet wide and is caving off at the lower end
at the rate of 900 feet in "a hours. The
average cost of this levee was $40 per
lineal foot, SO that at tho present rate of
eaving Of the lower end it is washing away
ct the rate Of $4,000 day. Every effort
will be used to protect what remains OF
the Morganza with as little deley as pos
sible.
The stories of suffering and loss Of life
in the overfowed districts are to say the
least premature. Thus far some stock
has been drowned and it is impossible to
predict how serious the loss to stock may
be in the interior, but even now there are
many who will not take the trouble to have
it removed, though they are absolutely
sure to be overtaken by the
back water within the next
few days. Fortunately the water
from the Great Morganza erevasse falls
into an uninhabitable swamp less than 100
yards from the bese of the levee, and it is
sheer nonsense to suppose that it will
overtake any one who has ample warning
Of It's approach.
Secretary Hester, of the cotton exoh ange.
in reply to a dispatch from the cotton ex-
change at Norfolk, Va, states that there
Is not now nor is there likely to be the
slightest danger to New Orleans from high

A SENSATIONAL STORY.

An Alabama Lady Figures Out That j,
Wilkes Booth is Alive.
The Chicago Times publishes a story
from Birmingham, Ala, in which Louis
Worcester, at one time a confdante Of j.
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham
Lincoln, is credited with saying that Booth
is not dead. She declares that in 1867, two
years after Booths supposed death, she re-
ceived letter without date or signature,
but Enthusiastically in Booths handwriting.
This letter, she says, is still in existence.
As to the probabilities Of the man
shot by Boston Corbett for Wilkes
Booth, she points out that the body
was closely guarded and secretly buried
without an opportunity having been given
for Identification by any Of those intimately
acquainted with him. She believes that
the man killed was one of the conspira-
tors and that Booth made good his escape;
but that in the exclted and clamorous con-
dition of the public mind, it was thought
best by the authorities, if they knew of the
deception, to allow it to pass unchallenged
in order to allay the fever of excitement
which the assassination had aroused.

Refunding the Mexican Debt.


Dispatches received from the City OF
Mexico give additional information re-
garding the scheme of paying off the
enormous debt of the Mexican govern.
ment. A project for way to enable the
government to pay off outstanding railway
subsidies has been under consideration
ten months, and meantime the adminis-
tration has had several offers of the neces-
sary funds, one offer being for the enorm-
GUS sum of $25O,O0U,o0O wherewith to ex-
tinguish not only existing pledges to pay
railway, but the entire amount
Of subsidies in the shape
of bonds issued for the construction,
which in the course of the next ten years
are likely to run up to some $500, 600, 900
in silver currency. The loan would also
pay off the existing external debt held in
Europe, amounting to $52, 800, 600, the in
ternal debt, now reaching $145,O00,0 900
silver, and would wipe out state debts, en-
abling the states to reform their internal
system Of taxation, which still in some
states amounts to serious restriction ON
trade. The plan of this gigantic loan was
several months ago submitted to the gov
eminent and is still under consideration.
The syndicate offer to accept government
bonds as security, and thus place the coun-
try. on a sound financial basis for half q
century.

A Aalllionaire's Mad Freak.

Mrs. McComb, the defendant in the di-
vorce suit now pending at Wilmington,
DEL, was brutally beaten and seriously in
jured by her husband at bis Claymont
residence. When the couple separated it
was stipulated that Mrs. Nc Comb should
live in the city, while her millionaire hus-
band should continue to occupy his man
sion at Claymont; that their three children
should remain with him, but should be
brought to the city to see their mother at
least once week until the divorce suit
should be settled. The children, SO it is
alleged, had failed to visit their mother dur
ing the week and she, fearing something
might have hefallen them, went to their
country home. When she reached the
house she was met at the door by her hus-
bnnd, who, enraged at her presence, beat
her into state of semi. .unconsciousness
and threw her into a stable near by and
left her presumably dead. Some friends
hearing of the occurrence, stole into the
stable and brought her to the city in a car
riage. She is not dangerously hurt. No
formal complaint has been made to the
authorities and McComb has not been ar
rested. 1t is believed, however, that
charges will be preferred against him, and
he will be arrested for assault with intent
to kill

Further of CIayton's Assassins.


Not until recently was it known that the
executive department of Arkansas had any
direct information concerning the identity
Of John M. Clayton's assa ssin. It was
made known through Mr.. Breckenridge, at
Washington, in an interview in which he
asserts that the time has arrived when the
governor of Arkansas should remove the
seal of secrecy from his operations.
1t has been learned from reliable
source that Gov. Eagle has collected,
through private detective agency, evil
dence which it is claimed will convict the
assassin, who is known.
Gov. Eagle refuses to make any state
ment concerning the evidence he has se-
cured, and no part of it will be made pub
lie until the whole is submitted to the con-
gressional investigation committee.
1t is said that the proof will show that
the crime was committed by man who
mistook John Clayton for ex-Gov. Powell
Clayton, and believed he was avenging
the death of a relative who was killed while
Powell Clayton was governor.
1t is claimed that at proper time a
satisfactory explanation will bs made why
the assassin is not now in the hands of
the law, the chief reason bti~g that his
identity has been known only few days,
and it has been necessary to his conviction
to secure other evidence of his guilt.

Bismarck Sees Nothing to Fear.

The London Herald publishes an
account of an interview with Bismarck.
The prince said that il It was in bis power
he would not interfere with workmen On
May day. Neither would he display any
anxiety, which woald only increase aggres-
siveness Of the agitators. Antagonism be-
tween employers aid employed was nat
ural law and a necessity Of human progress.
Progress would cease should man ever be-
come satisfed. He dwelt upon the need Of
combating socialism, the victory of which
he said would mean government by the
least intelligent.
He predicted that socialism would give a
good deal of trouble yet. He said the man
who would yield to the present inanifesta-
ton was coward and it WAS sometimes
true benevolenee to shed the blood Of a
riotous minority in defence of the law
abiding majority. He declared that May
day was not dangerous enemy. The day
need not be dreaded. It wotld be merely
sham fight like that of the Salvation
army.

Hog Statistics.

The department of agriculture has
issued statement showing the condition
Of the prospective hog crop of the
country and the losses duriog the past
year. 1t estimates the number of hogs
in the country at 5l,50O,0O0; losses DUR
ing the past year at about 100000.
Iowa has larger number of hogs than
any other state, her total bsing put at
$500, 900; Illinois comes next With 5,433,-
900; Missouri, $685. 90; Indiana, Ohio,
Kentucky, Tenness Q, Kansas, Nebraska
and Texas, between 1000, ,0UO and 5000,
600 each. The report says. of Iliioois:
The condition of swine is nearly up to
the average for the season. The loss has
been principally from hog cholera (so-
calledl, which prevailed TO greater OF
less extent in more than half the counties
of the state"
