Danger OF Serious interruption OF
Railroad Traffic Near New Orleans.
New Orleans, June 19.-The erevasse at
the Reserve plantation, one Of the finest
in the state, is now rs feet wide and be-
tween ten and twelve feet deep A large
force of men are at work upon it and
there Is some hope of closing 1t. Traffic
on the Mississippi Valley railroad has
already been interrupted, and II the Gre
vase continues much Of the track Of that
line will be swept away. The through
train on the Valley road came In this
morning over the Illinois Central, having
gone around by jackson. 1t will take the
same route until the crevasse Is closed.
If the break remains open and widens as
it must do If not speedily gotten under
control, the Illinois Central tracks viii
probably be flooded, and traffic with Chi
cago over that line will be seriously in-
terrupted.
The river is very rough to-day and
high wind prevails. This is interfering
with the work Of closing the creyasse.
The levee on the line of the Mississippi
Valley road, about fifty miles from the
city, broke this morning, but the gap will
be mended
The break at Harlem, below the city, is
a very serious one and will ruin many fine
plantations

posted on the doors,
Owing to the withdrawal OF more than 1920

tended withdrawal maturing in few days

The general belief here is that the

honest, The assets are estimated at

NoRFoLK's PENSION FRAUDS.
Fifteen Arrests Made Already and
Twenty More Probable.


Washington, June ia. D. Albert, the
supervising pension examiner for the
Southern district, has made report to
Commissioner Lochren as to the progress
so far made in the investigation into the
pension frauds at Norfolk, Va The in
vestigation was begun on May 6 last and
up to this time fifteen arrests have been
made for violations of the pension laws,
and before the investigation is concluded,
some time next month, it is expected that
fully twenty additional arrests will be
made. The report shows violation of
nearly all of the pension laws and
includes perjury, making false claims,
false certificates and affidavits, and tax
ing illegal fees. The principal offender
is said to be w. r. Drury, pension at
torney at Norfolk, who procured a large
proportion of the applications for that
section upon false evidence. Drury is
now serving term of one year in the
Norfolk city Jail for making false claim
for a pension. His term will expire next
December, when he will be i'm
mediately rearrested and tried upon
several other serious charges, the
punishment for which viii be a term in
the Albany penitentiary. A calculation
made upon the basis of 167 cases recon-
mended TO be dropped from the pension
rolls, shows that the fraudulent pensions
granted to Norfolk claimants under the
act of June "a, 1889, aggregate 4,074.
Norfolk county claims not allowed and
pending have been recommended for re-
lection amounting to about 100000. 1t is
understood that gross frauds on large
scale have been perpetrated in other sec
tions of the country, where Investigations
will soon be ordered.

FOUR MEN FOR TWO OFFICES.
Rival Claimants for District Attor-
ney and United States Marshal.

Birmingham, Ala, June 19.-In the
United States district court here to-day,
Judge John Bruce on the bench, Louis e.
Parsons and Emmett O'NeaI, each claim
ing to be United States district attorney,
and A, r. Ninninger and J. z. Musgrove,
each claiming to be marshal, appeared,
and by their attorneys demanded Tecog-
milton. Messrs. Parsons and Ninninger
were recently removed by the President
and Messrs. O'Neal and Musgrove were
appointed, but the two former declined to
surrender the Offices. Judge Bruce ex-
amined into the matter in chambers this
morning and this afternoon at 8 o'clock
opened court and to hear the argument.
There was but one incident of a sensa-
tional character. A deputy marshal ap-
pointed by Musgrove was ordered from
inside the railing by Ninninger and
ordered by Musgrove to remain. He re-
manned.
The arguments consumed the entire
afternoon, and it was after o'clock when
Judge Bruce cut short the proceedings
by deciding in favor of O'Neal and Mus
grove. Tomorrow he will issue orders to
) Parsons and Ninninger to vacate, and
they will probably do so. The judges
decision amounts to 1000 or 1900 words
and is withheld for revision.

gagement here tonight There was some
dispute between Manager l.. Arthur
O'Neill, proprietor of the company, and

claimed that the week pay was not due
till Tomorrow, Hifschfeld thereupon
refused to CONDUCT INC opera and the man
ager announced that the director having
refused TO perform his duties the company
was disbanded and all salaries forfeited.

report and withdrew over 1000 Satur-
dav and over $4,000 to-day. The with
drawal was so wholly unexpected that
the bank was forced to assign. The
assets are given at S455, 900 and the liabil-
tiles at s225. 900. The amount due depos-
itors is about s216,O0O Nothing is due

pie complain that the Savannah
Florida and Western railroad absolutely
refuses to place their cars for melon ship

business Is very largely curtailed and the
Savannah, Florida and Western is getting
the lions share of the melon business.
Within the past two weeks there
has been not less than 100 orders for
Central cars from shippers along the line
of the Savannah, Florida and Western,
which the latter has paid no attention to,
thereby forcing shippers to use Savannah,
Florida and Western cars and connec-
tions in order to get their melons to
market. Central railroad men on the
field are hot over the situation and some
regard it as a good beginning for COM
plete estrangement between the two sys-

The fact thai American grain is

given as the reason for
the cessation of gold exports, and the fact
that the west is receiving large quantities
