HERDS SWEPT AWAY.
The Sioux and Ocheydan Rivers
do Costly Damage.


SPENCER, To-. May 19.-Reports from
all points of this and adjoining counties
show great damage to crops of all kinds,
and stock. Numerous herds of cattle
grazing along the Sioux and Ocheydan
rivers were surrounded by rapidly ris-
ing water and lost. The dam at the
head Of one Of the lakes at Milard broke
last night. causing a tWO-fOot rise in the
Sioux river at this place. the water now
being a foot higher than ever known
before. All bridges OH highways are
washed out, making travel by team im-
possible.
The superintendent of this division of
the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul rail-
road has large force of men at work
on the waShoutS northeast and west of
here from both sides, and contemplateS
running trains over the washOuts to-
morrow if no more rains. All cellars
in this city have from ten to fifteen feet
of water in them.
OTTUMwA, To-, May 19.-Itis believed
that the flood here has reached its max
imum unless there is Il repetition of the
heavy rainfall of the past week. The
water reached the highest point yet at
O'Clock this morning, and since has been
slowly receding. The Kerr carrel and
box factory was in great danger because
of a break in the dixie. Ten more
inches would food the whole plant.
Trains Oh the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road are practically on time
time again, but the Wabash and Rock Is
land tracks three miles west of the city
are still under water.

ONE AGAINST FOUR.
A Gallant Frenchman Wings a
Quartette in Duel.

n JallauL d
Quartette in a Duel.
PARIS, May IS. - A quadruple en-
counter with swords was fought this
morning by NJ. Roules and three others
named Leclerie, Dumolin and BlOndel.
The quarrel arose out of dispute con-
cerning the merits of new opera. M.
Routes criticized the piece rather Sc
verely in the hearing of Leclerie, Dunn
olln and BlOndel, and violent alterca-
tion took place, ending in an exchange
of blows. At 9 O'Clock this morning the
antagonists and their seconds went to
spot behind the grand stand at the Long
Champs race course. The first duel was
fought by M. Roules and NJ. Blondel,
the latter after a few passes receiving a
wound in the right lung three inches
deep.
NJ. Dumoulin then faced NJ. Roules,
who at the first thrust ran his rapier
through the arm of his opponent, bury
ing the steel in his breast.
The third combat was more prolonged,
but after struggle of fifteen minutes
M. Leclerie was driven against tree
and received a wound in the face. NJ.
Everganot, NJ. Blondel's second. then in
terposed on behalf of the vanquished
friend, declaring himself ready to fight
NJ. Roules and threatening to slap his
face if satisfaction was not given, upon
which NJ. Roules promptly faced his
new adversary and succeeded in wound
ing him in the neck, narrowly missing
infiicting a mortal injury. The en-
counters were over by $3.50 and all par
ties returned to Paris. About fifty peo-
pie were assembled at the scene of the
encounter, which will in future be
famous in the annals of French dueling.
NJ. Blondel's wound causes great
anxietY.

LEVEES STILL HOLD.
No Uneasiness Felt at New Or
leans.

New ORLEANS, May 19.-The govern
ment gauge at the head of Canal street
at 8 p. m. registered 1879 feet. Last
night the water was flowing through
some of the cutters on the Algiers side
of the river, but no damage resulted
from it. The levees along the front are
in good condition, and but little uneasi-
ness is felt on account of high water.
News received today from the
Happy Point plantation eight
cen miles below the city,
is to the effect that the break there had
widened to fifty feet. 1t this crevaSSe
is not closed the water from it will over
flow a large territory with growing
crops and also cover Grand Isle railroad
for several niles. The Gypsy crevasse
is now 275 feet wide. Work is progress
ing favorably towards holding the ends
of the levee, and Lieut.. Mills, of the
United States engineer corps, believes
the ends can be held by sinking mat
tresses around them. Work on the
Mississippi Valley inclines will probably
be completed by Monday, when through
traffic over the road will be resumed.
The Bonnet Carre crevasse is nearly
400 feet wide, and the engineers claim
that 1T is impossible to close it. Nearly
a million dollars worth of sugar and
rice crops have been destroyed. The
water is encroaching upon bonneville,
ten miles above the city. The lake also
shows signs of the crevaSse water, and
is steadily rising. The city officials are
at work raising the levees along the old
and new basin to protect the rear por-
tion Of the city from overflow.
