night, tho people beng aroused by q
terrific noise, resembling the roll o!
thunder in the distance. The soil
yibrated and panic ensued. nc
people, believing the ground was going
to open under them, rushed away rs
fast as they could. Near the parish
church is curve in the River ST. Anne
which makes waterfall. The banks
OF tile river, composed of clay, are l5O
feet high, and they ca%ed in, blocking
up tine natural channel OF the river fora
distance of five milas, making the water
rise above the earth walls that were
supposed to hold il back. The walls
were not strong enough TO keep in
check the fury of the stream, and with
a terrible roar and rush the water came
down upon the unprotected village

At 10 p. m. the water rose at 81. Cast.

was buried smoke can be seen and il il
feared the house caught fire. The acct
dent has been especially severe on th'

umn and march to the Capitol steps.
But as the opening was reached a
solid front of mounted policemen was
seen. They stretched from curb to curb,
making ingress toward the Capitol i'm
possible. There was nothing to do but
nov down the officers or go ahead. The
squad of police ahead of Coxcy's car
riage went straight ahead, 1t was ruse
to carry the procession past the Capitol.
Coxey and his people showed their cha
grin, but followed out B street. Hurried
signals were passed from Coxey to
Browne. II was clear they would not
be thus led willingly away. Half q
block up B street Browne halted his
column and dismounted. He turned
over his horse 10 an attendant Then he
went to Coxey's carriage and spoke tc
the general. Coxey turned to get out
but his wife tried to restrain him. HI
paused and kissed her. Then he spranG
from his carriage and made his way
back toward the entrance to the Capitol
A bowling mob was on his heels, as thu
flank movement was appreciated
Browne followed, bearing his banner
The rank and file of the army stood il
the street.
The squad of police suddenly dis
covered that Coxey had turned back
Quickly the officers spurred through th
crowd toward Coxey and Browne. Tn
two had found Il street impossible
Coxey sprang TO the heavy stone palm
which surrounds the foliage Of the cas-
front of the Capitol grounds, and with
bound, was inside the fence and los
amid the tangled shrubbery. Brown
followed. The mob shouted at their di:
appearance.
The police were not to be daunted b
this escape to the shrubbery. The frs
officer, mounted on a line bay, refine
his horse to the stone fence and the
horse and rider cleared the fence an
dashed into the shrubbery. The otht
mounted officers followed. Small tree

BALTIMORE, MD, April 27.-James
Wilcox, who with his wife Eta, was
convicted in the United States district
court yesterday of cutting gold coin,
was sentenced to-day. Wilcox, who is
handsome man, was one Of the coolest
men ever placed upon witness stand.
The mitigating feature of the criminals
confession was his great earnestness in
declaring his young wife guiltless. He
shouldered the whole responsibility in
an apparently straightforward state
ment, reserving nothing in connection
with his criminal operations.
