A CREVASSE.
THE LEVEE IN FRONT OF NEW
ORLEANS BREAKING.
Serious Damage Done to the Tracks of Two
of the Railroad Companies-Engineers
at Work on the Break Sink.
Special 70 the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Oct, 24.-The caving
in of the river bank in front of this city,
which began a month ago, still continues
here. 4 caving far more serious than any
which has yet occurred began last night at
the foot of DUmaine, St. Phillip and Ursu-
line streets. and has continued all day. 1t
is in the very heart OF the city, and one of
the most important points, commercially,
on the river front. Several small cracks in
the levee showed themselves here week
ago.
Yesterday the land began sinking rapidly
ard this morning 1t disclosed horseshoe
shaped hole or depression extending a dis
lance of 1000 feet and reached to within ten
feet Of the famous French market. This
was from four to six feet deep, and IN some
places twenty, with immense cracks in it
ten feet deep and more. The most serious
damage was 10 the railroads.
The main tracks of the Southern Pacific
railroad and tho Louisville and Nashville
railroad pass here and these sank so II was
impossible to use them. A large force OF
men were put AZ work by the railroads and
three of the seven tracks were raised sufh-
GENTLY to be used and number of trains
passed on them to-day. The Orleans levee
board, however, appealed to the mayor TO
have the passage OF trains stopped as 1t
tended to increase the injury. The tracks
are most important, for unless used the
roads will be cut OF from their depots. The
caving also threatened and injured the fruit
landing, the market garbage wharf. and
was so threatening to others that QUE 81 the
vessels landing there changed its Inoorlngs.
regarding the situation as dangerous Inc
larger fruit vessels were also wGcned away
from the landing by the police as danger
Gus. The engineers will make an invesaga-
ton and report as 10 the cause OF tie sink
ing, which is supposed 10 be due 10 the
emptying of quicksand, and what remedy
should be adopted to stop further caying..
There was another caving at the foot Of
Leander street, up town.

gospel OF Jesus CnrlSJ Is Iue only elevator
of individual and social national character.
Let all the living cities know that pomp
and opulence and temporal prosperity are
no security. Those ancient cities lacked
nothing but good morals. Dissipation and
sin slew them, and unless dissipation and
sin are halted they will some day
sLAY OUR MODERN CITIES,
and leave our palaces of merchandise and
our galleries of art and our city halls as
fiat in the dust as we found Memphis on
the afternoon of that Thanksgiving day.
And if the cities go down, the nation will
go down. ''Oh," you say, THAT is impossi-
BILE; we have stood so long-yea, over q
hundred years as a nation" Why, what of
that9 Thebes stood 800 years. Memphis
stood thousand years. God does not for
get One day with the Lord is as thou
sand years and thousand years as one
day. Rum and debauchery and bad politics
are more rapidly working the destruction
of our American cities than sin of any kind
and all kinds worked for the destruction of
the cities of Africa, once so mighty and now
so PROSTATE. But their gods were idols,
and could do nothing except for debasement.
Our God made the heavens and sent his son
to redeem the nations. And our cities will
not go down, and our nations will not per-
ish because the gospel is going to triumph.
Forward! all schools and colleges and
churches. Forward all reformatory and
missionary organizations. Forward! all
the influences marshaled to bless the
world. Let our modern European and
American cities listen to the voice of those
ancient cities resurrected, and by hammer
and chisel and crow-bar compelled to speak.
/ notice the voice of those ancient cities is
hoarse from the exposure of forty centuries,
and they acceutuate slowly with lips that
were palsied for ages, but all together those
cities along the Nile intone these words,
Hear US for We are very old, and it is hard
for US to speak. We were wise long

DR.. EVANS CAUGHT MAPPING.
He'Was Served With Summons for No
Paying His Vehicle Tax.

DR.. C. Evans. member of Select Council
from the Twenty third ward, was subjected
to great deal of annoyance on Tuesday by
Deputy Vehicle License Officer Means, of the
East End, who arrested him on the street for
not having paid his vehicle license. The
doctor was served with a summons, and will
have to pay the costs, amounting to several
dollars In addition to his license fee, owing
to his forgetfulness.
City Treasurer Denniston said that Dr.
Evans was only one of large number of
such cases. He refused to mention any
names, but said there were several wealthy
men and politicians of high standing who
had the same experience, all on account of
having failed to take out their vehicle IL
censes. 1t was purely forgetfulness, but the
license officers deputies in the various parts
of the city must earn their salaries from
costs, and they are keeping a very close
watch on all vehicles.
The City Treasurer thinks that from the
present outlook the receipts from vehicle IL
censes will fall considerably short of the
amount estimated by the Financial Commit
tee when the appropriation ordinance was
adopted. When Mayor Denniston took the
office, ten years ago, the receipts from vehi-
Mayor made extra efforts to get all this
money in, and as a result the receipts grew
each year until last year they amounted to
nearly $45 900, which was the Finance Commit
tees estimate for this year. The stoppage
of work on the streets by contract
ors the halt in business of building trades
and the general Introduction of rap pid transit
are the causes given for the decrease in the
vehicle licenses this year
