A serious break occurred on last
Monday night, about a mile above La
fourclle Crossing in front of Mr.. Frank
Bergeron. When discovered, the
water was running through the leyee
as large al a flour barrel. With the
timely aid of the neighbors and help
from the Acadia Plantation, a wooden
frame work was Immediately built
around this hole, both inside and out
side of the levee, aud just as the work
men began throwing in sacks of dirt
into this wood work, eighteen feet of
the leyee broke loose and was carried
away by the weight Of the water
against the wood piling. Luckily q
large force of men were on hand, and
soon the wooden enclosure was filled in
with bags of sand, and the break closed.
Although some water 10 still seeping
through between the bags of cart b
the break is now secured, and q large
crevass a%verted-a crevasse which
would have caused An irreparable
loss to crops and property on the
West bank Of the bayou Lafourcho and
the East bank of the Bayou Terrebonne,
in the Parish of Terrebonne.

THE GLASGOW TRAGEDY.
Tho Murdered Woman Iaen'inOa-no

Tho Murdered Woman IIcntiHOd-Hor
Murderer Arrested.
GLASGOW, Oct. 19.-It was reported
here to-day that the police had arrested
man named McNeilly, who was seen
on Monday night in company with Nc
Even, the man who it is alleged killed
the woman whose body was found in
the garden of mansion in this city.
Investigation droved the report to be
unfounded and that McNeilly was still
at liberty.
McNeilly was q sailor on the Anchor
line steamer Furnessia. In an inter-
view to-day he said that he and Nc
Ewin met the woman, whose horrible
murder has created such great excite
ment here, on the street Monday night.
Melvin persuaded the woman TO ac-
company him to West Lodge, the scene
OF the murder. They all three went to
the lodge, the occupants OF which were
absent, and the woman occupied n
toom with Melvin. McNeilly declares
that he slept in another room and saw
nothing OF tho woman and Melvin
after they retired. Early in the morn
ing McNeilly arose and left the house
for the purpose OF looking for work. He
denies strenuously having seen the
murder committed or having taken any
part in it. After several measures had
been adopted without result to estab-
lish the identity OF the woman, the
police in the city were ordered to look
at the remains and see il they had eve r
seen the victim before. This plan
proved successful. Several OF them
recognized her as a person OF loose
character, and this accounts for her ac-
companying Melvin to his room, and,
as it was proved, to her death.
The detectives learned that Melvin
had been seen going in the direction Of
Paisley, and they followed close on his
heels. This afternoon they found him
lying beside tho road half way between
Glasgow and Paisley. He had evidently
found the chase becoming too hot for
him, and fearing arrest had attempted
to kill himself. He had cut his throat,
but the wound is not fatal. He was
placed in cart and taken back to Glas-
pnw

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-Aside
from the fact that Mrs. Harrison is a
triRe weaker this evening, there is no
material change to note in her condi-
ton. As before stated in these dis
patches, Mrs. Harrison has been grow
ing gradually weaker for several days
past, owingto the progress OF the dis
ease, and her lett lung is now involved.
There has not been moment OF the

the President and his family.
So long as Mrs. Harrison can take
nourishment er declining strength can
be revived. From one hour to another
there is practically little change mani
tested.
President Harrison is looking care
worn. lie has grown SO nervous owing
to the terrible strain Of the last few
months that his family almost compel
him to 90 out every day for walk or a
drive. His sad face betrays moro than
it is possible for his lips to utter.

CoLUMBTs STATUE
Uavoilod in BnltEmore-Address Of Cardi
nal Gibbons.

Unveiled in Bnlttmore-AddreSs Of Cardi.
nal Gibbons.
BALTIMORE, AIp., Oct. 12.-Cardinal
Gibbons was the last speaker to-day at
the unveiling in Druid Hill Park Of the
beautiful statue of Columbus presented
by tho Italian residents OF Baltimore to
the municipality OF Baltimore.
Cardinal Gibbons said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE MUNIcrrALrrY, La
DIES AND GENTLEMEN:-My remarks will
be very brief, as you have already list
ened to the long andvery able addresses.
There are two illustrious men to whom,
above all others, we and our fellow
countrymen are indebted for the tenn
poral blessings which under the provi-
dence OF God we enjoy to-day.
Four hundred years ago Columbus
discovered this American continent and
therefore we are primarily indebted to
him for the land which We enjoy in
peace and security.
Columbus united to the skill and dar-
ing Of a navigator the zeal OF an apostle,
and in his voyage OF exploration he was
not only impelled by the desire of en-
riching his sovereign with the wealth
OF new dominions, but he was also in
spired by the lofty ambition OF carrying
the light of the gospel to people that
were buried in the darkness OF idolatry.
Columbus poured forth his thanks to
his Creator when n new world first
dawned upon his vision, although he
was not destined to dwell in the land
he discovered. How much more fer
vent should be our gratitude since We
possess the fruits Of his labors and OF
his victory. But not for this earthly
possession only should we be thankful,
but for the precious boon OF coDstitu-
tional liberty which we inherit. May
this beautiful monument erected here
to-day be memorial always OF the ties
OF friendship and brotherly love which
will band together in indissoluble bonds
the citizens OF the United States and
the people of Sunny Italy"
And when an American will visit our
park and cast his eyes in admiration
upon this chaste work OF art, may the
contemplation OF the statue enkindle
in his breast a stronger affection for the
historic land which gave birth to
Columbus. And when the Italian will
come to- gaze upon this monument
erected to his great countryman, may it
arouse in his heart deeper gratitude
for the people OF Baltimore. They have
not only given an honored place to this
statute OF marble, but havo welcomed
TO their hearts and homes the sons Of
Italy themselves and invited them to a
share in all the rights and privileges Of
American citizens.
