FLOOD AT NEW ORLEANS.
River Now Over 10 Feet High-1oOO
Men at Work on Levees.

New Orlenas, April 22-At midnight
the gauge showed 191 feet above low
water mark and at the present rate of
rise the early prediction of 20 feet will
probably be realized.
The crest CT the flood wave is now
supposed to be below Vicksburg, and
creVasSeS, will reach here in three or
four days. Even with good weather
the strain viii be terrific and a study
of the weather charts shows that rain
is almost certain to come. Escape
with a solid front below the present
louisiana breaks will be n miracle,
aided by the magnificent work of the
leVee defenders, who are still fighting
as fieTcely as if the battle had not been
on night and day for a month.
Yesterdays fight was much fercer
than ever before. In St. Bernard, just
below the city, two Ievees were on the
verge of tumbling in. The whole sec
tiOn was aroused and every man re-
sponded. They are still working and
a crevasse has been avoided by building
practically new leVees.
At Pixies Peak levee in st. James.
across the river, the parish was not
only aroused, but the Texas & Pacific
carried up a lot of men and material
and "a hours work avoided a catastro-
phe, for forty feet of the levee had
slOughed off A creVaSSe there would
have done twice as much damage as
the Mississippi breaks. On BOnne
Terre, on this side Ofythe river, an army
has been at work for a week. 4 ere
vase there would remove all possible
danger to New Orleans.
The citizens have largely augmented
the levee boards forces in New Or
leans and thousand men are at work
Today there win be a conference be
tween citizens and officials and it is
proposed to guarantee enough money to
raise the long Gordon OF banks aoouL
the city. Mayor Flower has ordered
not to spare houses or streets in secur-
ing earth or room wherever extra work
is needed to insure safety. So FAR
only one house has been torn down but
the work has only begun.

SUES HIS MOTRER-IN.LAw.
The Rupin and Moeser Families En-
gage in q Law Suit

A family lawsuit is occupying the
time of Judge Hazen and the jury in
the district court today. John Rupin
is suing his mother-in-Iaw, Mrs Kate
Moeser, to recover $3.50, which he says
is the value of household furniture she
improperly disposed of.
When Rupin married Mrs. MOeser's
daughter, the bride received as a we'd
ding gift household furniture amount
ing in value to about $3.50. In Novem-
ber, 1895, Rupin left this city for Lead
vile, Col, on business, and to defray
the expenses of the trip he mortgaged
this furniture for $50. At this time it
seems that Mrs. MOeser was not quite
SO well satisfied with her son-in-laW as
she had been at the time of the mar
riage, and during his absence in Lead
vile, took her daughter once more to
her parental home, paid off the mort
gage of $50, although not then due, and
sold the furniture.
Rupin returned in the course of two
weeks and found his home devoid of
furniture. His wife, however, was
ready to return to him, and he felt sat
isfied to purchase other furniture, al
though he brought suit to recover the
furniture that he thought he owned
when he left home. Mrs. MOeser's de-
fense is that the furniture was the per-
sonal property of her daughter, and
that she had the right to dispose of it.
Both the Rupin and Moeser families
are we'll known in this city.
