Frank Morgan plsohareed.


Seven years ago Frank Morgan shot
and killed Abert Johnson, sheriff Of
sequoyah district, on sand bar in the
river opposite Fort Smith, where Mr..
Morgan was at that time operating a
steam ferry. Last Thursday the case
was set for hearing in the court Of that
district, but nolle PROSE-. was enter
ed and Mr.. Morgan discharged. This
has been a noted case aud the partie-
MARS will certainly prove interesting.
At the time of the killing the friends
Of Johnson swore vengeance against
the Morgans, and Frank left the coun-
try for a time, while his brother eide
on moved to Fort smith. Frank re-
turned and was arrested on a requisi-
tiou issued BY the chief Of the
Cherokee nation on Coz James
II Berry, Of Arkansas, which the gov
eFnor recognized. However, Morgan
was held At Fort Smith on a writ OF
habeas corpus issued from the United
States court. A little later he was re-
leased. Judge Parker deciding that the
requisition was illegal, and that no

TITLES BADLY Naadad.

The nation owes il to it's citizens and
to Vinita as town to provide titles to
the lots east OF the track. When this
is done that portion ofthe city will inn
prove as rapidly as any other. Char
ley Mcclellan, who owns the "old rock
building" would like to take down that
unsightly structure and put up a
handsome store, and there are others
who would also make permanent inn
proyements. Vinita has been voting
for the sue cessful candidates for coun-
ell With great regularly and getting
few benefits in return. Let's now ask
for titles to that portion Of the town
and insist upon the Cooweescoowee
and Delaware members helping us OBJ
tain them. The present and prospect
i've advantages of the few should not
be Permitted to stand in the way OF the
needs of many and to work permanent
injury to the town.

WASHINGTON, April 4..-The Reform
Conference, an organization formed for
the purpose OF bringing religion into the
settlement Of political and State affairs,
is In session in this city, and has
adopted a platform declaring in favor OF
employing the teachings of the Bible in
the settlement of public affairs, and OF
tho insertion of the name Of the SUE
preme Being in the constitution. The
platform also approves the Blair Sunday
rest bill, and all measures against
gambling, pool selling and the liquor
traffic. A committee from the confer
ence reported that call had been made
upon the President, who had received
them kindly. The President, they re-
ported, said that for good reasons he did
not wish to be compelled to make re-
sponse to their address setting forth the
objects Of the association, and had
added that its objects were so compli-
Gated that he would require time for
thoir consideration.

Widening of the Skipwith Break.
NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-Huntington
has been completely abandoned by Ats
500 inhabitants, about half of whom.
with some of their stock, are crowded
together on the levee, suffering from
exposure, sickness and destitution; the
others arcliving more comfortably in box
cars. Many houses have foated away.
Some 800 residents of the neighbor-
hood are also crowded upon the levecs,
or have fled to the highlands. A SINH
lar condition Of affairs prevails in near
ly all the country around the break.
The bacliwatcr is spreading far into the
interior. The Skipwith break increased
yesterday to $50 feet. tho Vita crevasse
to LOO, and others in proportion. Tho
situation below Red river is much inn
proved, but between that point and Hell

just received, announces that the entire
town and surrounding country has been
oyerfowed by a sudden rise in Steele's
Bayou, which has been rising eighteen
inches hourly. The people are
moving out. of their residences and
taking refuge in gin-houses. The water
is over three feet deep in the higher
levels of the town, and rising fast. Col
onel ID. Mayer, who received the dis.
patch, says the town has never been
overflowed in the memory of man. He
says great deal of stock will be endan-
gered by the sudden rise. Mayersville
is place of three hundred inhabitants,
but nearly all the whites have left tho
town. No new crevasses arc reported,

YELLOW FEVER.

Quarantined.
BALTIMORE, April 5.-Quite commo-
tion was caused among shipping men
yesterday by the report that the Amer
lean ship McCullum, Captain O''rien,
from Rio, was detained at quarantine
with yellow fever aboard. The rumor
gained n good deal of credcnce because
it could not be verified, the Health De-
partment being closed. Captain O'Brien
was not allowed to come to the city by
order of DIR. Heiskell. who is
in charge of quarantine. 1t was
definitely learned later that three of
the sailors had died on the passage, the
first of yellow fever on February IS, the
other two on February 81 and on March
., respectively. Captain o'Brien said
the lattert two did not die of yellow fever,
and that thore was no epidemic on his
ship. The man who died contracted
yellow fever while the ship lay at an
chor at Rio. All were buried mt sea.
DIR. Heiskcll quarantined the ship.

ST.. PETERSBURG, April 5.--The police
at Gatschina have discovered explosives
on the grounds of the Imperial palace.
The Imperial family has In consequence
renounced tho idea of going there to fin
ish Lent. The Car for two days has suf-
cred from relapse of influenza, which
has compelled him to postpone audiences.
His condition is not serious. Among
the students arrested are Prince Via
zemslsy and son of NabokoH, a former
Minister of Justice. The Car has aban-
doned his proposed hunting trip in Po-
land on account Of plot to throw the
Imperial train off the track. This was
discovered by the fact that decoy
train, supposed to contain the Car and
suite, was wrecked by rocks placed on
the rails. The peasants of Riazan. in
censed at the continued flogging and
outragos perpetrated by the district
chief, MordvinoH, retaliated by thrash
ing Mordvinoff severely and stoning the
police. The Car was deeply panied on
hearing the news.

and children Drowned From Raft.
vIcKsDuRa, April 7.-Nineteen ne
grocs, the survivors OF large party of
refugees which attempted to escape from
the overflow down Boguc Bayou on a
raft, arrived here on the steamer Hill
City. They report that twelve women
and children were drowned when the
current lashed their crazy vessel against
q tree, and that they escaped with ex-
treme difficulty. This is the most
tragic event Of the flood. The situation
is growing daily more serious in the
Steel Bayou country. Earl Miller, a
prominent planter, and brother of Attor-
ney-General Miller, arrived from there
yesterday by steamer Evergreen, with
his family and stock. The Miller plant
alton, though very high.has gone under
The Evergreen reports the water along
the bayou still rising. Cattle and hogs
are offered for sale by the people at q
song. Much more stock must yet be
brought out or allowed to drown. A
steamer leaves Tuesday for Sunflower,
and that planters will desire to remove
their stock is certain. The steamer
Oceola arrived last evening from
the Bends. Her officers report that the
overflow is beginning to empty into the
Mississippi through the Eagle Lake,
and predict great increase in pressure
all along the Louisiana front from that
point southwark for the next two weeks.
The Oceola begins an inspection of the
levees from Delta, La, northwest to-
day, and will be joined by President
Maxwell, and probably Assistant En-
gineer Thompson. There is the most
unmistakable distress along Steel
Bayou, and it will be cruelty to deny it.
The Evergreen returns there to-day, and
the Bousam, with Captain w. d. Pugh
and M. w. Smith on board, will
follow Tuesday or Wednesday. They
will bring out all people who
are suffering or in danger. Barges
can not be taken there, and only the
smallest boats are suitable for relief
work. Captain Pugh will relieve the
distressed. whether they have money or
not to pay their fare: kilograms from
Sharkey, Tallahatchie river, report
decline of eighteen inches. Captain
John B. Mattingly, who has just re.
tured from Austin break, says it can
not effect the Yazoo and Tallahatchie
country, as its current is too feeble.
Engineer Stubbs, of the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific railway, reports
the prospects more cheering, ant. only
twenty points rise in twenty-four hours
at the worst places on the line. He is
confident that the road will hold its
