LIVES LOST IN THE FLOOD.
The Big. Mississippi Levee at
Catfish Point Breaks, and

Is Inundated.

Catfish POINT BREAKS, anu
the Surrounding Country
Is Inundated.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, April g.
A bad break in the levee just above
Catfish Point, Miss, is reported. Nc
danger had been spprehended at this
point, as the river had been falling
fast, and the emba,l ment was res
garded as sufficiently substantial to
Withstand the strain. The break oc>
Cured Yesterday afternoon, and be-
fore night the crevasse was nearly
900 feet wide and very deep. All at
tempts to arrest the encroschments
of the waters have failed, and the
creva.se is widening at a dangerous
rate. The levee was constructed
principally of sand.
Three lives are known to have been
lost-a man and two children.
Their home was washed away and
they were drowned before assistance
could reach them.
Capt. Tollinger of the United
States Service is there with the
steamer Graham, and lie doing all
that can be done to aid the distressed
people.
Catfish Point is on a big bend in
the river, Mound Landing being
about ten miles below and Bolivar
Landing being about the same dis
lance above. The entire country is
in cultivation. The principal plan
tations are the Miller, the Connolly,
the Martin, the Fdmunds ard the
Oustriplace. The break occurred be-
tween the Miller and the Connolly
places.
Each of these plsntationsis already
flooded and the depth that will be
reached by the water will not fall
short of twelve to twenty-five feet.
The water will be backed up to
Bolivar Landing, and will help to in
crease the depth Of water there and
make matters worse from Mound
Landing below.
The break is said to be by far the
worst one that has as yet occurred
On the Mississippi side. A tremend-
Gus volume Of water is coming out Of
the creyases and sweeping everything
before it-houses, cribs, stables aud
fences being washed away. Many

Mr.. L. 7. Martin lost fifteen mules.
Nearly all tho corn, hay and cotton.
seed on the two or three plantations
have besn swept away already.
The suffering that will necessarily
follow this disaster will be great
The condition of affairs on the other
side of the river was bad enough, and
the break will make matters much
worse.
The planters on that side Of the
river Immediately opposite this place
have been busy loading their stock
On barges preparatory to taking it to
prsiiies in Arkansas County, this.
State, and there are now a number Of

expert poker player, and compiled man
ual of the game, to initiate his friends of
the court circle into its mysteries This
and the use of his name with the Emma

On Thursday evening of last week girl
10 years old shot herself dead, in a highly
sensational way, on one of the principal
streets of Joliet, Ill. The cause given for
the act was that she had been prosecuted
and driven to distraction by an anonymous
letter writer This persecution had been
going on for three years, and all efforts to
discover the author of the letters had failed,
though detectives were employed, and one
young man, the girls cousin, was arrested
on suspicion, Threatening letters were
constantly sent to the girl herself, and let
ters which cast suspicion ON her charac-
ter were sent to every young man who
showed her attention, TO the local papers,
and to her family and other friends, The
strange part of the story comes out in the
discovery made since her death that the
letters were unquestionably written by her.
self. She had an abnormal thirst for no
toriety which developed, as it grew, into
positive insanity, and led to her tragic end.

bray and started off at railroad speed. The
negro gave look of astonishment at the
doctor, and, with loud whoa ~ started
down the road after the mule. In the
course of ten minutes they came up to him
standing in the road waiting. The mule
was nowhere in sight. Say, boss, " said

The New York court of appeals has af-
firmed the constitutionality of the law pro
viding for the execution of murderers by
electricity. The opponents Of the law
who were in reality the electric light com
panies, fearing it would injure their bust
ness, claimed that it would subject Grim
inals to cruel, unusual and uncertain pun
ishment, but the court of last resort holds
to the contrary. The murderer over whom
the fight was made, and who has been un.
der conviction for nearly a year, is one
kennller, a Buffalo huckster, who killed his
mistress in fit Of jealousy. Four other
murderers now await execution by the
same method.

our course lay up smooth canal
Through tracts of velvet green.
And through the shade that windmlls made.
And pasture lands between;
The kline had canvas on their backs
To temper autumu's spite,
And every where there was an air
OF comfort and delight.

saw here whereof to prate;
Vain fools are We across the sea
To boast our nobler state
Go north or south or east or west

You shall not find what's here combined,
Equality and ease
How tidy are these honest homes
In every part and nook
The menfolk wear prosperous air.
The women happy look.
Seeing the peace that smiles around,

Big with the weight of motley freight,

With pipe in ordly pose,
And with his son of twenty-one
He played at dominOes.
Then quoth my wife How fair to see
Begue all pain and lust of gain
With whatso joys he can;
Methinks his spouse is down below
Beading a kerchief gay,
A babe, mayhap lolls in her lap
ln the good old Milky Way.
Where in the land from whence We came
Is there content like thisr
Where such disdain Of sOrdid gain,
Such sweet domestic bliss.
A hnmespun woman l, this land
Delights me Overmuch.
Think as you will and argue still

And then my wife made end of speech,
Her voice stuck in her throat,
For, swinging around the turn, We found
What motor moved the boat:
llltched up in toWpath harness there
Was neither horse nor COW,
But the buXom frame of Holland dame,
Mynheer van Blarcom's frau.
