THE MISSISSIPPI BOOMING.
Repetition of 1890 Floods Feared-Only
Five Feet Below the Highest Mark

Repetition of 1890 Floods Feared-Only
Five Feet Below the Highest Mark.
NEW YORK, March At. j. Herman,
attorney for the Louisville, New Or
leans q Texas railroad company, tele-
graphed to the officers of that company
in this city, from Baton Rouge, La, as
follows: The Mississippi is booming
here. The guage now reads thirty-one
and half feet and rising. This is only
five feet lower than the high water mark
of 1890, when tie high water mark was
raised higher than ever before known,
The top notch of high water in 1890 was
not reached until April 81, and naturally
great apprehension is felt here and all
along the lower Mississippi valley that
there will be repetition of the flood of
last year. That congress should do
something in this emergency is strongly
urged by everyone in this section, the
general opinion being that every dollar
spent now for protection would be
worth more than a hundred spent here
after for the relief of flood sufferers.
