Louisiana Planters Fearful That 1t Will Give
Way.

At an informal meeting of the Ponchartrain
levee board held yesterday afternoon Mr.. Jesse
Ross, president Of the board, announced that
the residents of st. James parish were growing
apprehensive that Nita levee would give way
before the rapidly rising river The levee was
washed away last season. and the crevasse was
one of the most disastrous which ever occurred
in this state. One hundred thousand feet of
timber for levee purposes have been sent to the
scene of the trouble, but the wretched condi-
ton of the roads, owing to the recent bad
weather made it impossible to deliver the ma
terial al tine levee and it was found necessary
to put i: off five miles above the threatened
point OF danger. President Ross is large
planter of st. James parish, and says that if
something is not done Immediately to relieve
the ievce it viii be washed away and the scenes
OF last season repeated

which was filed with paper and other COM
bustbie material The end of the Irvine hang
ing down was on fire, and in short time the
fire would have reached the paper. How the
twine happened to be there and how il caught
fire is Il mystery which adds to the uneasincss
of the citizens of this community. who have
every reason to suppose that incendiaries are
at work.
