May Lose His Life Through an Effort
to Rescue His Friend.
Charlottesville, Ind, April 17.-Rlch-
ard bennett lost his life In well filled
with black damp. Edward Reynolds
his companion, may also die through
injuries received trying to rescue his
companion Bennett once saved Rey-
nolds from drowning, and 1t was no
fault Of the latter that he dIz-not re-
pay the debt. The men were digging a
well, and had reached a depth of 50
feet They returned after dinner to
resume work, and Bennett was the first
to go down. Half way to the bottom
he was overcome and fell out Of the
bucket Reynolds knew the trouble was
due to foul gases, but without hesita-
tion started down to the rescue. He
too, tainted and fell.
Reynolds recovered consciousness, and
a rope was lowered, but he refused tC
accept the chance OF escape. Instead
he attached the rope to Bennett, and
the dead body was dragged out. Rey'
nolds had just life enough to tie the
rope about himself when 1t was next
lowered, and was hauled out insensiblt
and almost dead. The chances arc
against his recovery.

Opposite Vicksburg.
Memphis April t7-Advlces from
Natchez and ether points below ViclSs-
burg indicate that the supreme test in
the flood situation is near. The swift
current is rising steadily and beating
against the levees with such force as to
cause the Pravest apprehension at
many places. AT Natchez the river Is
near the top of the levee. All kinds Of
rumors have been current regarding
wholesale loes of life on Davis Island,
but diligent telegraphic Inquiries fail
to confirm the stories, It is Ehown that
three negroes were drowned on the
island, but outside of these no kss Of
life is known to have occurred.
At Vicksburg the river is rising at
the rate of four-tenths Of foot daily.
The swiftest volume of water pouring
out of the Nazoo into the Mississippi
at a point 12 miles north of Yicksburg
win continue for several days. The
leves htween Bedford store, four miles
south OF Delta, La. to Duckport, six
miles above, are in precarious condi-
tion, and every man and boy available
Is at work strengthening the embank-
ment. A more cheerful feeling exists
in the delta.
The levee at Riggs, two and hall
miles below Delta, La, broke at II
o'clock last night. The crevasse was
12O feet wide 20 minutes after it gave

A number of Toledo business men have
been drawn into the difficulty as in

time ago two men approached Aines-
worth with a view to securing from
him his interest In the right of way OF
what is known as the Toledo and
Memroe railway, in which he held con
siderable stock They represented that
they had received a concession from the
Canadian government for the organiza-
tion Of a lottery TO be run with gov
eminent sanction. Ainesworth traded
for the lottery stock. Soon afterwards
two of the lottery men, under pre-
text of needing money offered $1,000
worth of their stock to him. Later a
third PARTY wanted to buy Aines-
worth's stock, providing 100000 more
could be secured. The bait was taken
and he bought more lottery" stock
Then the bubble burst.
