CRUSHED TO DEATH.
Railroad WOrkmen Killed While Remov-
 Ing a Large RocI; from tho Track.

Ing Large Rocl; from tho Track. PrrrsBURG, P.:., March 15.-A dispatch from Cumberland, Md, says: Between and a. m. huge rock rolled down the mountain side and fell upon the West Virginia Railroad track in 'cut'' between Chaffee and Blaine
 The work train with a crew of 12 men was dispatched to the spot to remove the obstruction and clear the track. A large cable was placed around the rock and attached to the engine that it might be dragged from the cut. All was nearly ready and the men were making final adjustment of the rope when @ great mass of earth came rushing down upon them from the steep mountain side and buried seven of the men from sight.
 Their mortified companions rushed to their rescue and as speedily as possible exhumed the ill-fated ones. Two were dead when taken out, one has died since and three were seriously or fatally injured.
 The dead are as follows: James O. Lambert, of Chaffee, Va., leaves a wife and family; Macheni J. Josephini, an unmarried Italian; Vernato Valleo, Ital- ian, leaves a widow and family in Italy.
 The injured were: Van Reed, of Chaf- fee, married, cannot recover; Marian cea Albinni, Italian, arm broken and ankle sprained; Jockoloni Cabanni and Josephini Frapcegole, Italians, were se- verely injured about the head. The in jured Italians were brought to this city and are now under the care of the com pany's physicians.

WASHINGTON CONNER.


 Smith. owner of the ''Estelle'' for many years, and now comma nder of the his torical sloop, "Pocohontas," one of whose partners, MT. Douglass, achieved highly romantic marriage with Mrs. McCrea the other day. is recognized as one of the finest yachtsmen of the day. Another gentleman who has done much to popularize steam yachting is Mir. Washington E. Conner. It was his zeal and energetic efforts that were the means of founding the American Yacht Club, and establishing it upon per- manent basis. He built the prize-win- ming "Utowana," and many of his friends have pleasant memories of the halcyon days spent on that fine vessel for Mir. Connor is capital host and never fails to afford his guests all the recreation and enjoyment they antici. pate in accepting his invitations.
 One of the institutions in which Wall street sportsma1 take especial delight Is the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club. Sit uated in romantic and sufficiently se- cluded locality, on the Rhode Island coast, about fourteen miles across from New Bedford, on Buzzard Bay, it is just the ideal spot for a flow days relaxation and piscatorial amusement.
 Nearly all who go to Cuttyhunk from Wall street own fine boats. in which, when bass and other fish are scarce, they enjoy sailing in Buzzard's Bay and fishing for black fish, sea bass and cod. There is no class of men who need re- taxation more, or who appreciate 1t moro kesnly than the Wall street Oqet1mon DAVID W1oHsLnR

COPYRIGHT 1890.

Americans who are so unfortunate as to be bitten by rabid dogs need no lon. ger go to Paris to escape the terrors of hydrophobia. A longtime pupil and associate of M. Pasteur, Dr. Paul Gioier, who has been signally honored by tho French government on various occasions, has just founded Pasteur Institute In New York, where the vic- tims of rabies can be treated on the same principles and with the same virus as in Pasteur's own laboratory.
 I called at the American Branch of the Pasteur Institute yesterday, the day of its formal opening. Dr. Gibier, assisted by his two associates, Dr. G. Van Schaick. of the New York Medi- cal School and Dr. A. Liautard, Direc- tor of the American Veterinary College, was treating a patient. boy of about ten years of age, who two days before had been bitten by a stray dog, that nfterward proved to be rabid. The lit tie fellow was placed in the operating chair and. although he bore the ordeal of inoculation bravely, he could not re- press a slight scream when the knife punctured the skin during the injection of the virus. In few minutes it was all over and the patient, led by his father. a poor workingman, left tho room smiling, and feeling that great danger had been passed.
 M. Gibier is a short dark-complex- toned man, with g head not unlike that of Pasteur himself. but he is much younger. Indeed. this savant seems to be hardly yet thirty years old. He has dark eyes. coal-black beard and hair, and teeth of unusual purity and white-

Extreme Danger in Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 15.-The situation at Newport, Ark, at the con- huence of the White and Black Rivers, is one of extreme danger. The water is within q few inches of the top of the levees that surround the town, and is rising at the rate of three inches an hour. The inhabitants are greatly ex- cited. Should the levees break, the destruction to life and property will be terrible.
 At Batesviile all that part of the town through which the Iron Mountain runs is foot under water, and the trains are abandoned.
 Reports from the Black River Valley show that the lowlands are now under water at places so deep that tree-tops are alone visible.
 Jacksonsport is under water from two to four feet.
 Every house in Po~hatap, the county seat of Lawrence County, is under water except the postoffice, which stands upon hillside. Enormous damage has been done.

Two Men Burned to Death.

JoHNsTowN, Pa., March 15.-Fire broke out in a large house, uses as 8 dormitory by Brown Brothers. contractors, at Mo- 6 Bridge, five miles east of here. There were over 50 men in the second story of the building when the alarm was given, and as the building was enveloped in flames panic ensued. Two men named Morrissy and Kelly were enable to es- cape, and their charred remains were afterwards found in the ruins. A num- Der of men were drunk during the night, and it is supposed one of them set the building on fire.

 Along the Line of the Louisiana Levees.
 The Situation at New Orleans Improved.
 NEW ORLEANS, March 15.-The levee at the Bourg eois Plantation, fifty three miles above the city, on the New Or leans side of the river, broke at II o'clock last night and in less than two hours the break was twenty-five feet wide.
 The crevasse was caused by break in rice Hume, the levee being four feet above high water. It was feared at first it could not be closed, but the Mississippi Valley Railway Company, a portion of whose track was washed away, feel certain that it can be closed by tonight.
 The water if not checked would over flow several large sugar plantations and pass off into the Lakes Maunepas, Pon- tichartain and Borque and thence to the sea in the rear of New Orleans. The break. if not closed, would lower the water at this point.
 The situation here is slightly i'm proved, although the water is still run ming over the levee from between Couti street and the French market
 The draining machines are run night and day, and, assisted by a strong northwest wind, are keeping Canal street free from water.
 To-day the river is again rising and stands at 16 feet 8 inches above low water mark.
 The city authorities are vigilant, and gangs of workmen are raising the levee along the entire front.
 The Signal Service predictions of still higher water during the coming 10 days cause gloomy feeling.
 There is alarm along the line of the Louisiana leyees which guard almost the entire Tenhe sugar district Help has been sent them.

LADY MANDEVlLLE'S PLAN.
The So-Called Countess to Introduce
 Americans Into Society.

Americans Into Society.
 LONDON, March 15.-The sensation caused by the publication of an offer of lady of title to introduce Americans into the highest London society has been revived by the discovery of the identity of the so-called "countess. " She turns out to be no less a parsonage than the we'll known lady Vaudeville, formerly Miss Florence Yznaga, and sis ter to Fernando Yznaga, who recently married Miss Mabel Wright.
 Lady Mandeville's plans were for Americans to provide themselves with letters of introduction from her lady ships agents in the United States, to present them in London and then be introduced to her ladyahip's bankers, modlstes and circle of acquaintances. The Vaudeville balance at the banks would be increased by gifts from the visitors and her bills at the milliners regularly paid by her proteges.
