A BAD BREAK.
Offutts Crevasse Widens, and Much
Country is Submerged,
Interfering with Railway Traffic-Thc Sit
uations Quite Serious.

GREENvILLE, Miss, March 22.-Work
on the Ofrutt's crevasse is progressing
slowly. The southern end of the break,
which was thought to be secure, gave
away again, and about 600 feet of tho
levee has been washed away. An at
tempt was made yesterday to secure it
II possible. The Government boats are
at the scene of the break and are rem
dering all the assistance possible. The
engineer in charge has been instructed
by the Levee Board to go ahead regard
less of expenses and stop the break.
The citizens are backing the Levee
Board in the construction and in
the expenditure of the large sum
of money that will be necessary to
stop the break An immense body OF
water is passing through this break. 1t
has spread over a large area of territory,
washing out fences and covering the
track of the L.. N. o. & Il. railroad be-
tween here and Wilcoinslti Station, and
above on the line of the Riverside Di-
vision have been abandoned, and the
L., N. o. & Il. are now using the tracks
of the Georgia Pacific via Stoneville
and make connections with the main
line at Leland. The outlook at pres
ent is rather gloomy. The hopes OF the
people are fixed on the early closing Of
the breaks at Offutt's, and on the stabil-
ity of the levees in other parts of the
district. There has been slight rise in
the river at this point, and n slight rise
above in this district at several points.
A slight fall is reported below here.
Telegraphic communication between
here and Huntington has been broken.
That is the nearest Office to the break.
The water from Offutt crevasse reached
our protection levee yesterday afternoon.
Droves of live stock came in town
from the numerous plantations in the
flooded district. No serious losses
have, so far been reported. 1t is said
that on one of the levees in the
vicinity of Huntington are hundreds of
cattle, horses and hogs with very little
feed. A large number of colored people
are gathered on the levees. Men, wom-
en- and children in small groups are
nearly desolate. Many of them are ut
terly destitute, having neither sufficient
clothing nor shelter and suffering for
food, despite the bravery of more for
tunate neighbors, who are making every
exertion to relieve their immediate
wants. Steps have been taken to aid
them

A Young Wife Drowning in Delirium Re-
vealed to the Husband by Her Faithful
Companion.
WACO, Tex, March 24.-Mrs. McCabe,
wife of j. =. McCabe. a very prominent
cotton compress man, while suffering
under the hallucination that her child
had been kidnapped, arose In the night
and wandered off to reservoir, and
plunging in, was drowned. A fow weeks
ago their child was born, since which
time the young mother has shown symp.
toms of dementia. When she left the
house she was followed by her dog, which
returned to the house and rushed to
the husbands room dripping wet. When
followed he ran to the reservoir and
plunged in. 1t is manifest that when
the lady jumped into the water the little
dog made efforts to rescue her. The
reservoir is fed by an artesian we'll, and
is perfectly clear. 1t is about thirty feet
wide in the center, and holds LOCO, OOC
gallons of water. Daylight revealed
the outlines of the body, and the mayor
of the city dived and recovered it. Mrs.
McCabe was young, wealthy and very
attractive.

THE RUIN COMPLETE
At the Scene of the Indianapolis
Disaster.
Damaged Walls Collapse with Crash,
and Several More Lives Arc be-
licved to Have Been
Crushed Out.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 20.-While .
force of workmen we're engaged yester-
day in digging-hunting for the dead
body of Driver Woodruff in the ruins Of
the Bowen-Merrill building-part of the
walls came down with crash. Tho
only warning given was cracking noise
from above, but this was ample for
nearly all the workmen, as they were
in momentary anticipation of such a
catastrophe. Captain Campbell, of tho
police force, was the first to hear the
noise, and called to the men to clear the
building A rush was made for the front
by some and for the rear by others, but
in the confusion it could not be known
if all escaped or how many, If any, were
caught by the falling walls. -Four car
penters who were placing the supports
under the beams succeeded in gaining the
street, but all were more or less injured.
Peter Alban was hurt in the back hips,
head and hands, and presented aghastly
appearance. Chas. Arndt thinks
there were two other men inside
looking about the ruins, and he thinks
they did not escape. He does not know
who they were. Geo. Harter, middle
aged man, was near the walls when they
fell. He had just handed book to John
Dunn, who had charge of the employees,
when he heard cracking sound, and
started to run. He fell, and the curious
crowd that rushed from the alley behind
ran over him, trampling him in the dirt
and bruising him severely. Chas. Bair,
an employe of the Bowen-Merrill Com

pieces of brick, and was very seriously
injured. VIM. Meadows, carpenter,
was struck by one of the falling beams
just as he reached the front door, but q
friend caught him as he fell, and drag
ged him to place of safety. John Hal
pin was also hurt about the back and
shoulders, but his injuries are not re-
garded as serious. As long as the beams
which supported the floors were in posi-
tion they acted as a brace between the
east and west walls. The first
separated the Bowen Merrill from
the Becker block, and the second wall
being between the burned building and
III. p. Wasson's. As soon as they gave
way, however, section of the Becker
wall, twenty-five by forty feet fell out,
and the brick and mortar fell toward the
crowd of workmen, mostly negroes, who
were employed in saving part of the
stock. Whether any of them were
crushed in the fall can not be ascertain
ed. Those whe escaped did not know
how many were employed and did not
seem to know the names of even few
of their fellow-laborers They had been
collected from the street for the work,
and some of them had not been at work
ten minutes when the crash came. Late
last night it was learned that Joseph
Dewald, a plumber, is under the ruins.
He was in the basement when the floors
fell

Bismarck and the Emneror.

BERLIN, March 2O.-The Cologne Ga
zette says that Bismarck. during the old
Emperor's reign, got a notion that he
was the real sovereign, but the present
Emperor on ascending the throne
showed an intention of asserting his I'm
perial rights. He showed that he had
views of his own, and consulted out
siders, practice most odious to Bis
marck, who thought that his voice only
should be heard. He bluntly expressed
his disapproval of the Emperor's social
ist policy. The Tagblatt attributes
Prince Bismarck's resignation entirely
to the social legislation question.

A. KISSER CAUGHT.
His Last Adventure Results in His Being
Put Behind the Bars,


ST. LOUIS. March 21.-The ''Belleville
Kisser," who has frightened the ladies
of Belleville for the past week. has fin
ally come to grief. About o'clock last
evening, as one of the most estimable
young ladies of Belleville was passing
the corner of Richland and First South
street, unaccompanied, she was
suddenly grasped from behind
by man and held in a
vise-like grip. The man hugged and
kissed her for several minutes, the girl
being so badly frightened that she could
not scream. Finally, after a terrific
struggle, she freed herself from his
grasp and ran down the street scream
ing for help, while the ''kisser" depart
ed in an opposite direction. Several
gentlemen whose lady friends had been
assaulted on previous evenings were on
the watch and traced the fellow to the
Washington House. The police went to
his room, and upon opening his door they
found well-dressed man six feet two
inches in height, with a butcher knife
in his hands, who defied them to arrest
him. The officers drew their revolvers,
but with difficulty placed him under ar
rest. At the station he gave no ex-
planation for his conduct. He at first
cried, and then played the mad act, but
in few minutes was lodged safely in a
cell He gave his name as Walter Deli
hanty, and said that he formerly resided
in Chicago, but had separated from his
wife. He has been in Belleville about
four months.

his friends for day or two, and search

John A. Logan III, n Month and Half Old,
Assigned to an Ohio Regiment by Cow
ernor Campbell.
COLUMBUS, o., March 2l.--In response
to the following letter commission as
First Lieutenant signed by Governor
Campbell and countersigned by Adiu-
tant-General Hawkins, was forwarded to
John A. Logan Ill, at Youngstown. The
letter is from Lieutenant Samuel M.
Williams, Adjutant of the Fifth
Regiment, o. N. G., of Cleve-
land: ION February 12, 1890, a
son was born to Captain John A. Logan,
jr., of Company H, Fifth Regiment.
The boy has been named John Alex
ander Logan I'LL, after his Illus
trious grandfather, whom overy volun-
teer soldier of the late war regarded
with great affection and honor. The
boy promises to be a noble young fellow
and is intended for the service of the
country. The request of Colonel Glib
bons is that out of regard for the late
General Logan, and considering CaptaiG
Logan's intense interest in the National
Guard, as we'll as the little fell
lows intended future that commits
sion as Lieutenant in the Logan Rifles,
Company II, Fifth Infantry, be given
John Alexander Logan, dated February
12, 1890. 1t would be highly priced
among the military relics of the Logan
family, and am sure if General Logan
was alive to-day he would be highly
pleased. There would need be no official
rec ord made of the commission, and
should this rather unusual request be
granted without infringing on any Of
the rules of the Adjutant-General's De.
partment it would be greatly appreciat.
