Northwestern Part of the State Flooded
and Many People Starving.
VIcKsBURG, May 30.-1here are at
least 10, 900 homeless and hungry people in
East Carroll, Moorehouse, West Carroll
and Madison parishes, La, and the suffer
ing and privations they are undergoing is
appalling. With the exception of few
small elevations, the whole of the north
eastern portion of the State is now under
water.
Forty-four negroes were rescued from a
perilous position near Swan Lake, East
Carrollton parish, last night. They were
almost insane from hunger, having been
without food for four days.
Two children died on Sunday from ex-
posure Their bodies were wrapped in
blankets and thrown into the raging
waters, there being no ground in which to
burg them, or implements with which to
dig their graves.
An old hermit was rescued four mil es
from Swan Lake, who had been without
food three days. When found he was sit
ting astride the roof of his house, calmly
munching the meat from the bones of his
dog, which he had been compelled to kill.
Gov Murphy J. Foster sent all the tents
at his command to the sufferers at Lake
Providence. but more are needed.

RISE IN THE WATERS CONTINUES

A Big Hole in the Leves and More

idIy--Much Suffering FROM Hunger
Railroads Hampered.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The special bull
letin of the weather bureau states that an
overflow of the Mississippi river levees
just below the mouth of the Arkansas
river is imminent. There was IL inches
of rain at Helena, Ark, on Saturday night,
which caused the river to rise 10 foot
making the stage 4S.7 which is O.6 of q
foot higher than ever before recorded.
There was a rainfall of four inches in
the lower Arkansas Valley Saturday night,
which caused a rise of five feet at Little
Rock. 1t will continue to rise there I'M
til Thursday. The White River at New
port, Ark, is also rising. At Arkansas
City the stage has risen 0.3 of a foot in
two days and the river is at the very high
stage of So 3 feet.
In the natural course of events it will
continue to rise for four days yet, and the
levees are sure to be overtopped.

INSANE coNVIcTs.
Moro Trouble With Them at the State
Prison ----- -

Prison -----
The insecurity of some of the light
cells at the west end at the state prison
in Wethersfeld, where the insane con-
victs are confined, has again been
brought to the attention of the prison
officials within day or two. These
insane convicts, six in all, were reported
to Governor Morris over two months
ago, but no action has yet been taken
in regard to their cases and two OF
three of them are making the prison
officials considerable trouble.
Trowbridge on Sunday managed to
work three or four bricks out of his cell
and the chances are that if he had made
passage-way into the next cell he and
Schurnk would have made short work
of each other.
Richards, a mulatto, also has man
aged to work out of the wall three iron
bolts upon which the bedstead is hung
The nuts upon the opposite side haC
been loosened in some way SO that the
bolts could be drawn out at short notice
but when discovered by Deputy Baisder
the bolts were both still in their places.
Eugony also managed to work some
mortar loose from the side of his eel
and with this he made some littlt
| trouble, but nothing but what wal
easily remedied.
Brown, colored man acting as tier
| man, has been in a sulky mood fol
| several days and was recently put in the
| solitary for day. While there his eel
was searched and stick of wood two
feet long and nearly two inches square
was found. How 1t came there has no
been discovered but in talking with hin
General Haven found that Strong, on,
of the ex-officers of the prison, had told
him an investigation was going on.
