MORGANZA LEVEE SAFE.
New Orleans Dampened and in
Danger

New ORLEANS, May 10.-There is no
truth in the sensational story sent out
last night that the Morganza levee had
broken. The levee is still withstand
ing the pressure of the water, and no
apprehension is felt for the safety of
the millions of dollars worth of prop
erty behind.
NEW ORLEANS. May 1O.-Two inches
of rainfall in an hour and still pouring
down with the river booming higher
and higher, is the situation here to-
night. which was bad yesterday and
now growing worse and worse hourly.
Critical is too mild word for
arming The river here tonight is with
in an inch of the highest ever known
since March, 1890, and below here every
thing is flooded. LII this city the levees
have been strengthened and raised by
the levee board. yet notwithstanding
this at noon the water overflowed over
into Canal street. So far no break has
occurred in the levees above here ac-
cording to three reports, but tonight
came rumOr that the Little Texas in
Bayou la FOurche. four miles south of
Napoleonville in Assumption Parish,
had broken. The gap is 140 feet wide
and growing. 1t is flooding a thickly
settled and fertile sugar country, and
will likely do immense damage.
Reports from parts af Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Mississippi are to the effect
that the rain has been general and in
cessant for twenty-four hours, and that
much anxiety is felt by planters. At
Mariana, Ark, the most severe rain
and hail storm experienced for years
fell yesterday. Below the town
cyclone passed through from the
southwest, cutting swath of
about 400 yards and uprooting huge
trees. The greatest damage occurred
at the plantation of G. G. Gist. The
barn was blown entirely away, not a
trace remaining. The outhouses and
rear of the residence, foundation and all,
were blown away. Large trees were
blown half a mile away. At Paragould
the city's electric plant was struck by
lightning and the electrician killed. At
Helena, Forest City, Glendale. Goa
houma and many other places heavy
rains and hail storms are reported.

RICE LAKE, Wis. May 10.-Last
Thursday Martin c. Olson went to the
room of Nick Garmo, III this city, and
broke open a trunk belonging to the
latter and took therefrom four checks
of deposit on the BsrrOn County Bank
of Rice Lake. two for Sl60 each. one for
$40 and one for $50. In his hurry
he overlooked two other deposit
checks of larger amount on
banks in Minneapolis and Menomenie
He went to Eau Claire. where he forged
the name of Garmo ON the checks. The
bank at Eau Claire sent the checks up
to Rice Lake to get the money Oh them,
when A. B. Bailey, the cashier of the
Barron County bank, pronounced the
signatures on the same forged and re-
fused payment on the same. Telegrams
were sent to Eau Claire, and Deputy
Sheriff Deitz went to Eau Claire, where
he arrested his man and brought him
back this morning. He had a hearing,
and was bound over to the circuit court

same man who is supposed to have
stolen a gold watch in this city last
March from Nels Shervey.

CHICAGO, May 10.-A sad romance. in
which beautiful young girls ruined life
and the astounding depravity of boy
scarcely of age are the leading features.
attained its climax today at the Palmer
house. Ten weeks ago today Hon. E.
A. jackson, of Sharon Springs, n. Y,
socially prominent and a lead
ing politician in that part of
the state, accompanied his wife
to the wedding of a friend, and
then took the same train with the bridal
party to Albany, where, as delegate,
he was to attend the Republican state
convention.
On Mrs. Jackson's return to her home
everything indicated the flight of her
daughter. Christie, fifteen years old.
Investigation proved that the day of
the wedding and of the fathers de-
parture for Albany had been selected
long in advance by the men who were
bent on the daughters abduction and
ruin. These men were Louis Marcott,
a young man who had been visiting his
grandfather in the town, and George
Hoffman, the son of carpenter in
Sharon Springs. Marcott seemed to
have something of
A Hypnotic Fascination
for Christie and after secretly associat-
ing with him for some time she agreed
to take $1,000 from her parents to carry
out his plans. They took the train for
Syracuse and later arrived at Detroit
Here q dispute arose between the two
men as to which had better right to
the young girl. This led Hoffman to
take most of what remained of the
stolen money and return to New York,
where he was arrested. The distracted
father caused the whole state to be
searched for his daughter, but his in
fiuence kept the disgrace to his family
from the general public. In less than
two weeks he spent large sum in the
search, the fruitlesS character of which
almost killed both parents of the un-
fortunate girl.
The arrest of Hoffman led the dscov-
cry that the other two were headed
toward Chicago. where they expected
to stay at the Palmer house under the
name of Carpenter. Sheriff Black,
personal friend of Mr.. Jackson, was at
once authorized to come to this city.
He found the pair yesterday, and this
morning a. dispatch ordered him to re-
turn, and in the afternoon he took his
prisoners eastward, the childish looking
fifteen-year-old girl in so pitifully a
broken down condition after her ex-
perience of but two weeks with her
young abduetor as to be almost unrec-
OgniZable.

Appa ling Execution.
All the bodies SO far recovered are
terribly burned and mutiated. Those
whose bodies were recovered are Tom
Brennan, Tom Rees, A. Pollard. John
Bowen, Ii. Cambell and William
Hague. AS progress was made the
frightful execution of the explosion
became more manifest. Timbers. were
torn out for hundreds of feet, and the
whole interior was fearfully wrecked.
1t is thought fire was started in the
lower level and arrangements are being
made to turn on water as soon as the
fact is developed. Air fans are working
to their fullest capacity, and every
effort is being made to recover the
bodies of the imprisoned men. All
miners in camp who are able to work
have volunteered their services, and
men are working constantly iu shifts.
From the fearful wreckage of the slope
interior and the doubt as to existence of
fire in the lower level, there is no way
of determining how soon the bodies can
be reached, if all.
Great volumes of after-damp and smoke
roll from the entrance making the ap-
proach dangerous. As soon as it was
possible to enter, men set TO work but
their progress was impeded by the
smoke and damp which the tunnel COIL
tinued to emit.

NEW York, May 10.-A Caracas,
Venezuela. cablegram to the Herald
says: Advlces have been received here
that an engagement has been
fought a few miles south of
Los Toques between 400 govern
ment troops and $50 insurgents,
mounted and armed with lances. 1t
was the purpose of the insurgents to
drive Palaco'e troops back into Los
Teques, but after fighting all day Satur
day the latter still held their ground.
An assault was made at noon, the revo-
lutionistS riding as near as possible.
Then they suddenly dashed up the
deep ascent, but were driven
back, leaving nearly one-third dead and
dying on the field. They retreated to
the hills under cover of a body of i'll
fantry, which kept up a desultOry fir
ing all the afternoon. The government
troops lost only twenty-five killed and
thirteen injured. The hospital tent is

The government troops in this fight

A company of government infantry

LONDON, May 10.-A well-informed

The great majority of the Catholic lay

aggravated by the more recent encycli-

dering upon revolt
1t is true that most of the reactiOnary
deputies, when approached on the sub
Ject, maintain a discreet reserve, but
the signal of insubOrdination has been
given by one of them-Mgr. d'Hulst,
a newly elected member from BreSt,
who in the course of a public talk main
tanned with bodneSs that the authority
of the pope is only absolute in matters
connected with dogma and religion:
that lie is falllDle like other men when
he trenches upon other ground. For
more than a century.s Mgr. dHulst de-
clared, no pope has interfered with so
much violence to order a party
to abandon its past. renounce its hopes
and betray its political faith. The
encyclical and the brief in which
the Legitimists and Imperialists were
peremptorily ordered to abandon their
hopes of political reform were acts of
extraordinary pressure. almost of Op-
preston. Mgr. D'Hulst added that
while the pope was at liberty to assume
an opportunist attitude if he saw fit TO
do so. nobody was obliged by his duty

SOLID FOR HORACE.
Iowans Will Not Discount His
Chances.


COUNCIL BLUFFS, To-. May 10.-The
state of Iowa will send solid delega-
tion to the national Democratic con-
vention with instructions to vote as
unit for Horace Boies for presi.
dent. If all hope of their
favorite receiving national favor shall
have passed away. the delegation will
cast solid vote for Grover Cleveland,
but the resolution of tomorrow's con-
vention will not discount the chances
of Gov. Boes by admitting the possi-
bility of such a contingency. The fol-
lowing gentlemen are prominently
mentioned as candidates at large:
c. A. Clark. of Cedar Rapids;
Senator Shields, of Dubuque; Sem
ator Yoemans, of Sioux City;
j. F. Duncomb, of Fort Dodge; l.. n.
Martin, of Des Moines; F. D. Campbell.
of Fairfield; Senator L. r. Bolter, of
Harrison; Senator Perry, of Monroe
county; and S. t. Marsh, of DeS
MONIES. The latter is a eoiored man
and president OF the Iowa Afro-A mer-
lean Reform league. The only contest
on the platform. and that, if it comes at
all, will probably be confined TO the
committee on resolutions, VIII
be on the financial plank. For
the past two years, the Democrats of
Iowa have adopted planks fayoring the
free coinage of silver, but it looks as
though the custom would be departed
from in tomorrow's platform. The can
didacy of Gov. Boies may have
something to do with this con-
templated change of position.
The most powerful opponent of
free silver declaration is
Congressman Walter S. Hayes, Of Clin-
ton, who is regarded as the coming
United States senator from the Hawk
eye state in case the Democrats succeed
in carrying the new legislature. The
fight has, therefore, narrowed down to
a contest for the control of the commit
tee on resolutions. and the indications
