MISSISSIPPI FLOODS.
More Crevasses Made in the Levees in Ar
kansas and Louisiana.

mOTe NfeNasses mduc III Ine LeNees IN Ar
kansas and Louisiana.
rVlCKsBURG. Miss, May 15.-Messages
by telephone confirm the report OF a
second crevasse at Brooks Mills, Ark,
on W. q. Kiger's plantation, about seven
miles below Lockport. 1t was fifty
feet long when discovered at 8 o'clock
this morning. The water will also
flow into the Tensas basin, and taken
in connection with the first crevasse is
expected to put it generally under
water.
The crevasses last year easily accom-
plished this result. Its effects will be
felt from Kiger's plantation, a very
large one, to the mouth of the Red
river. 1t has been believed by persons
who know the Tensas basin country
well that the Lakeport crevasse water
would have been carried off by Macon
and other bayous with but little injury
to the country, but with the additional
influx from Brooks mill this is impos-
sible.
The destruction of crops will be enor-
nous, as the entire country from the
Arkansas line southwark is thickly set
tied and well improved Opinions here
differ as to the extent to which this
crevasse will affect East and West Car
rOl parishes, Louisiana. The river here
rose three inches in the twenty-four
hours ending az p. m, now ~ on the
gauge.
\ crevasse occurred on Bayou La
Fourche, near Raceland, La, half a
mile above La Fourche crossing on the
west side; the break is 50 feet wide and
20 feet deep. Arcadia plantation is af-
fected. The bayou has fallen six inches
in the last twelve hours. No effort has
vet been made to close the break.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The treasury
situation shows decided improvement,
the receipts being larger than for last

lures, though large, are not so heavy
as was anticipated. Most of the heavy
disbursements for the month have al
ready been made, including IS, 900, 900 for
pensions and other heavy payments that
became due about the first. This reduced
the net balance to SD, 25O.O 900, but this
will from now on increase. The gold
in the treasury to-day is 1908, O22, 1854,
against which there are SlO3. 797, O1O
gold certificates outstanding, leaving
the net gold, usually denominated the
reserve" 500, 225. 665. Offers for a

A CHECK ON PENSIONS.
The Present Bureau Authorities Make II
More Difficult to Secure Pensions.


WASHINGTON, May 15.-An important
order revoking the celebrated com
pleted filed" order of ex-Commissioner
of Pensions Raum has been issued by
Commissioner Lochren. The order says
that hereafter all pending claims in
each ease will be taken up for consid-
Grafton in the order in which the con-
sidered evidence is filed, the object
aimed at being a practical return to the
method in vogue prior to 1889.
1t is calculated that under the new
administration a check is going to be
given to the rapid growth of the pen
sion list without the assistance of any
legislation. When the pension appro-
priation bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of congress it was expected
that the amount appropriated
would be about S15,OOO,OOO short
of the expenditures for the
fiscal year. 1t was anticipated
that a deficiency of that amount would
have to be provided for at the coming
session. The average number of orig.
inal pension cases passed on each month
is expected, however, to be about one.
third what it was under the former adj
ministration of the Office, and that, in
stead of deficiency, there will be a
surplus of about Sc, 100000.

ESCAPED BURIAL ALIVE.
r. markabIe Experience of a Woman
in Sinking Spell.

Mrs. r. W. Phillips, of Salem, Mass.
knows how it feels to be laid out for
burial and hear the mourning of
friends and relatives over her supposed
death. This terrible experience was
recently hers, and she is now recover
ing from the nervous shock that fol-
lowed her restoration to this world.
1t was her frantic effort co asSuage
her husbands grief that caused the
faintest futtering of her heart and
saved her from the terrible fate of be-
ing entoOmed alive. She had been
sick with peritOnitiS. She had severe
sinking spells, and in one of these
spells she became powerless to speak
or move. She heard them pronounce
her dead, felt them close her eyes, felt
her husbands arms about her and
heard his heart-brsken sObs. Still
she had no power to prevent any of
these manifestations.
She says the thought came to her
during those moments, Gam [ dead?
Can it be possible that this is death?
Am l to hear my husbands grief and
pass away from him with no power to
prevent it? No, no, it cannot be; God
would never be so cruel.' She made a
frantic effort to speak, her husband
discovered some signs of life-a fiutter
of the heart, and Immediately began
to pour strong alcohol upon her and
rub her vigorously. In short time
animation was restored.
