The situation at New OrIeans.

New ORLEANS, April All day the
sun has shone with almost midsummer
brightness, and the conditions have
naturally, so far as the city is con-
cerned, been exceptionally favorable
for the levees. The river is slowly
rising. To-day's gauge registers III,
one-hundredth of foot above the
figure of yesterday, but this was
anticipated and no uneasiness is re-
sultant. Along the entire river front
of the Crescent City, the vigilance OF
the authorities has not been nor will it
be relaxed in the remotest degree and
absolute confidence prevails. All the
1evees are apparently in splendid con-
dition and are able to stand consider
able pressure yet.

A Desperate Negro.

Essie Long, desperate negro, held
the officers at bay at the old State prison
for several hours few days ago. He
was to have been whipped for a viola
tion of the rules. He got wind of it and
secreted three shoemakers' knives on
his person. When the prison authori-
ties attempted to go into his cell he
pulled the knives and threatened to kill
tho first man who entered. Threats and
persuasion did no good. and finally
Warden Elliott went to Nashville and
got Chief of Police Clack. The chief of
the fire department. was also seen, and
Gov. Taylor was also visited. Return
ing to the prison Chief Clack tried to
make the negro come out. He refused.
Finally fire hose was turned on him.
He stood it for two hours. Then, with
the house pointed in his face and guns
in hand, the officers tried to enter his
cell. A desperate struggle ensued, but
finally Chief Clack knocked him insen-
sible with sledge hammer. The negro
was sent to the hospital and will re-
cover. Long was sent up from Madison
county for thirty-fve years for felonious
assault on Sheriff Brooks.

Advices Just received tell of break
in the levee two miles south of Hell
ena, Ark. This is the levee for which
the people of southeastern Arkansas
have made such desperate fight. The
.vaters from this break will flood a
great area, and in all probability will
back up into the streets of Helena.
The relief steamer Ora Lee arrived at
Marianpa, Ark, late this afternoon and
made an expedition up the st. Francis
river. There were on board 100 refu-
gees and 200 head of cattle. The
steamer went up the st. Francis river
as far as Cutoff and then worked her
way down stream, rescuing people
from perilous positions.
The suffering along the ST. Francis
river is appalling. The water through
out the entire neighboring sections is
from four to six feet deep. Relief
boats rescued the body of Mrs. Nc
Cain, of Baggio City. The body was
found at Baggio and it was taken to
Mariana for burial, there being no
land at the former place on which to
give it interment.
The st. Francis is rising from three
to five inches daily.
At Memphis tonight the river is
slowly rising again, the gauge regis
tering 1914 feet. There is rise of one
tenth since last report. At points be-
low Vicksburg the river is rising. 1t
it the general opinion of old river men
here if the levees below Vicksburg
hold the great volume of water in it's
regular channel, it will be little short
of a miracle.

The school board of Pittston city at
its last meeting adopted the following
resolution to take steps to have the
wealthy coal corporations pay as much
tax, proportionately, for their coal lands
as the average property owner has to
pay. The coal corporations have stood
in with the assessors there for years and
thus paid only about one-eighth the
amount of tax for their valuable coal
lands than what the average property
owner had to pay for invaluable surface
land:
Resolved That the school board of
the city of Pittston shall use all efforts
to assist the various ward assessors in
Pittston to make their triennial assess
ment and request the said ward asses
sors to meet with the city engineer and
the city assessors for the purpose of OBJ
tanning such information and data show
ing the number of acres of coal and sur
face lands in the city and such other
information that will enable them to
make fair and equitable assessment
for the next three years; and secondly,
for the purpose of fixing a uniform value
upon coal and mineral lands in the city.

Firemen Prefer IA Steamer,

AT a meeting of the Citizens Hose
Company last night R. E. Meyers and
A. II. Bleckley explained the merits of
the Rex fire eXtinguisher, which was
talked of before council at its last meet
ing. After discussing the question for
some time the conclusion was reached
that chemical engine is not what is
needed, and the directors were instruct
cd to so notify council. They were also
instructed to urge upon council the
necessity of purchasing steamer,
claiming that this is the most important
machine now needed in the line of fire
equipment. Without an engine it is not
possible to fight fire on the Hill with
any assurance of success.
The tiremen are working night and
day TO make their fair, which opens
next Thursday evening" very success

Temporary Suspension at Sandy Run.

Owing to the dullness in the coal
trade, caused by the inability of people
to purchase anthracite at the exhorbi-
tant figures asked for it by the trust,

shut down for the week on Tuesday

would be suspended until April /. The
