DANGER FROM FLOODS.

tinuo to Rise sDd Disastrous Results

tinue to Rise snd Disastrous Results
Are Apprehsnded.
ST. LoUrs, March 1O.-Reports from
tho Lower Mississippi are to the effect
that the food in that stream has
becop a.armingly high al along
the coast; that the levees are
breaking at various places, and
that there is great apprehension
that q large section OF the country
on both sides of the river will be in
undated. The latest report is that the
lcvee at Sappingtoon Hoop, six miles
above Arkansas City, Ark, broke Sun
dav afternoon. The crevasse was forty
feet wide at last reports and was still
widening. The water lacked a foot
aud half of being at the
top of the levee and the
break was complete surprise, there
being no appearance Of weakness up 10
within few minutes before the break.
Within twentyfour hours the whole of
the river front from the crevasse to the
Louisiana line will be flooded. The
whole of the Texas basin OF Louisiana,
consisting Of four or five par.
ishes, will undoubtedly be COW
cred by water. The river at
Arkansas City is A. and $40 feet on the
gauge. four-tenths above high-water
mark, and is still rising. The present
outlook is that there will be at least a
foot moro OF water, and that there will
be a heavv loss of property.

Sometimes people try TO be smart, or
funny, as some might call il, and very
often find to their sorrow that two can
play at the same game. The night before
Thanksgiving, the good wife of Ferry
street man asked him what they should
have for dinner on the morrow, expecting,
of course, he would reply, as all husbands
of large family should, "Get turkey or
o pair OF -ohielkens.n But he did not. = He
said. ooh, don't care what; get a
mackerel and stuff it nicely; that's good
enough for me- He came in to dinner
on Thanksgiving day and, shure enough,
there was stuffed mackerel for him,
just as he had ordered The rest of the
family had roast chicken. II is said by
those who know that he ate his crot0, but
really does not banker after any MORE
When next Thanksgiving comes around,
stuffed mackerel will not be on his bill of
fare.

Reuben Scheetz, while walking up
the tracks of the Belvidere Division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, last well k, near
Milford, was struck by passenger train
coming in the opposite direction and in-
stantly killed. His wife and boy accom-
panied him, walking in the public road.
When the train approached, Mrs. Schectz
called to her husband to get off the tracks.
He said he would attend to that, but for
some reason he did not. Scheetz's body
was found at the edge of the river en-
bankment, with the neck dislocated, arm
fractured and internally injured. His
father lives on the Pennsylvania side of
the river, and his remains were inferred
in the Upper Tinicum cemetery. Mrs.
Scheetz's second husband was killed by
a falling tree, and her first husband also
died violent death.

The Rochester, Pa, Daily argus,
of Tuesday evening, Dec. I'd, contains
the following account of the death of P.
Sutphin Moore, formerly of Ringoes:
p. s. Moore died at the National hotel,
Beaver, at o'clock this morning, OF con-
sumption. He and his wife had taken
rooms there only three weeks ago. He
was working on a newspaper at some
point in Illinois, near Chicago, about
three months ago, and while there was
taken with pneumonia of typhoid ma
ture. He was able to go about for some
time and thought he was in fair way of
recovery, but was taken worse, and al
though he had sent for his wife, who
went on TO Chicago, he found that he was
growing worse. He then returned home
to the residence of his father-in-law.
Milo Somers, where he was taken care of
by his wife, and was treated for typhoid
pneumonia by DIR. Strouss. He became
convalescent about three weeks ago, aud
went TO the National, but instead OF get
ting better he gradually declined, until
last night, when death came to bis relief.
He was an efficient newspaper man and
member of the X. Of P. He was about
30 years OF age and came here about two
years ago from New Jersey.

A Beautiful Owl Captured.

monstrously large owl OF an entirely
new species In this section, was on ex-
hibition in front of Hall, Trcwin & Kit
tenhouse's store in Pennington, last Thurs
day. The bird was captured by John
Buchanan, near the "Hemlock Church, -
not far from Croton. Mr.. Buchanan shot
at the monster, crippling its wing suffi-
GENTLY to enable him to take 1t alive. II
is notified almost precisely as a Plymouth
Rock chicken, only its face is white. It's
eyes are large and bright, the pupil being
encircled by brilliant yellow ring. AL
together it is most beautiful bird, and
nearly as large as a full-grown turkey
hen. Its extremely heavy plumage, which
extends to its toes, shows 1t to be native
of the cold northern regions.
On Saturday last the supposed mate to
the above bird was captured in the same
neighborhood, and in the same manner,
by Washington Sheppard. The only diff.
ference between the two owls is that the
one caught by Mr.. Sheppard is perhaps a
trifle the largest. -Hvaterdon Democrat.

A Career In Three Acts.

Johnson d. Banghart, who died few
days since in Hunterdon county, had 9
chequered career. When the general rail
road law that broke up the old-time mo.
nopoies in the State was pending in the
Legislature seventeen or eighteen years
ago, a tall, handsome, dashing fellow APP
peared upon the scene to promote its pass
age. Though young, he had acquired
high standing as lawyer. His specially
was 10 the preparation of pleadings, and
many Of the leading lawyers in the State
sought his aid. Once in while he came
to Hudson TO help Dick Mcclellan, then
District Attorney, in the trial of his cases.
He drifted into railroad law, and was en-
ployed by some OF the railroads who wan
ted TO destroy the monopolies to make
room for themselves, to aid In pushing the
general railroad law through. He drew
the act, and so shrowdly that it has never
been successfully assailed and Senator
Mcpherson rose TO fame on the reputation
of having passed it. johnson d. Bang
hart was the lawyer.
Two years later the papers were full of
the story of dashing and handsome
young lawyer who had surprised bis
friends by taking wife. The fashionable
season was at its height in Long Branch.
The young barrister was smitten with a
beautiful widow, whom he met at the
West End Hotel. She was smitten with

or late years a familiar figure has
haunted every gathering of public men at
Trenton. lie had been handsome and
stately once, but his shoulders are stopped,
and he leaned heavily on stick he always
carried. His clothes were seedy-r ragged

black derby. His face was streaked with
dissipation, and with his big, buIging gray

invitation to the bar. Every public man
knew him, and in pity they sometimes
passed him bit of silver for a nights
lodging and bit of food. The free lunch
counter was his resort when he was not
thus provided, and two chairs In the hos
pitable hotel bar-room served as his couch.

false to him. He learned her reputation
after his wedding. Chagrin and shame
