indianapolis. March 31.-Application
for a receiver for the Order of Equity
and the removal OF Assignee B. Blair
was made yesterday by members of the
order. The complaint sets forth that
the order was organized as a secret
fraternity and a charitable association .
and gives as a reason for the applica-
ton that "the pretended assignment was
signed or executed by the trustees of
the defendant corporation; Assignee
Blair is supreme officer Of the corpor-
alton. and II q receiver Is not appointed
there is great danger that some of the
creditors of defendant corporation may
obtain undue advantage and prefer
ence."
This Is the order that assigned several
days ago because 1t was no longer able
to meet maturing certificates. The
membership has dwindled from thou
sands to hundreds and the assets are
thought to be very small. The court
will pass on the application Thursday

Greenville. Miss. March M.-The flood
situation eliminated yesterday in un-
told disaster to the great Yaxoo delta
region. By o'clock yesterday morn
Ing three additional breaks were re-
ported. One at Stead's Landing. Boil
var county. near Australia and thirty
miles north of Rosedale, occurred at
p m. Monday. At 3 o'clock yesterday
morning the levee at Mound Landing.
Just fifteen miles above this city, gave
way. and at 8 q. m. news was received
OF third break at Stopp's landing, sew
en- miles north Of the Mound break. The
break at Stead's Landing is now 1000
feet wide and the last breaks at Mound
and Stopp Landings are now over 200
yards wide. while the break below here
on Lake Lee IL about 600 yards wide.
These four crevasses are hourly pouring
their torrents into the bottom formed
by the Yazoo river hills on the east and
the Mississippi river bank on the west.
Many Families in Peril Of Death.
Thousands OF BLOODHOUND people are
caught and penned in between the three
Bolivar county breaks. and no commu-
nication can be had with them. Refu-
gees coming into the city from the coun-
try this side Of the Mound break report
many families in peril Of their lives on
the other side Of the crevasses, as there
Is only seven miles Of country between
them and Stead's, and 1t is next to i'm
possible for all to escape. Yesterday
morning a movement to build a protec-
ton levee was started. but abandoned
as useless waste OF labor, as the water
would be here before 1t could be COM
pieted. Two hundred and fifty towns
and villages will be under water in three
days. and thousands Of families will be
homeless.
Terrible Condition Of Things.
Every Lakeland stream is out Of its banks
and literally filled with bodies of
drowned animals. Many thousands of
horses. mules and cattle are being swept
away. Homes and property are gladly
abandoned in the mad rush to preserve
life. 1t is impossible to estimate the
amount OF destruction in dollars and
cents. Every town and village along
the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley rail-
road is full Of homeless refugees, and
half naked men, women and children
are grouped in squads along the levees
In the vicinity Of the breaks. In the
next two days two-thirds Of this entire
valley will be one waste Of water, from
the banks of the Mississippi eastward to
the Yazoo river. 1t is a thickly popu-
lated region and has fully 100000 inhab-
itants.

A Wonderful Prod ucer.

The famous DeLamar mine in Ne
vada has been a wonderful producer,
and during the past year has made q
great record. The property is owned
by Capt. DeLamsr and H. A. Cohen.
The output for the year is estimated
at 100000 by many, and it is safe
to put it at over s2,OOO,OOO. The pro-
ductlon since the new mill was com.
pleted has averaged 1000 tons per
month, and the average value is fixed
by those best acquainted with the
ores of that district at over $50. 1t is
understood that the capacity of the
plant Ii to be increased early the
coming season to double the present
tonnage. and should that be done the
earnings will be increased to great
figure. 1t il claimed by many that
the output of tho DeLamar lie today
greater than any single piece OF
property in the West, and that were
the record exposed it would compare
with that which has been set by the
Utica. More than one effort has
been made during the year to pur-
chase the property, and it is known
that $3,100,O00 has been refused for
it.--Ex.

Changing silver Into Gold.

Professor Emmons, one Of the most
skilled metallurgists in tho country,
claims that in the reduction OF silver
the molecules are 80 divided as to
differ materially from that metal that
they can no longer be regarded as the
same substance, but new one and
apparently the parent of both gold
and silver, or the raw material out Of
which by different arrangement Of
molecules either gold or silver are
constructed. Working on this theory

THE UNITED ScATEs SENATOR
SHIP.

Before, and for some weeks after
the general election last November,
there was only one candidate In he
fold for United States Senator from
Nevada, and that candidate was SEN
stor John P. Jones, who desires to
succeed himself. BY common consent
the silver men and Democrats accept
ed him, as he is an acknowledged
champion Of the silver cause in and
out of Congress. The State Conven-
ton which assembled at Elko, nomin-
ated Il fusion electoral ticket, and in &.
dorsed by platform without dissent
ing voice, the candidacy of Senator
Jones. The Silver Party County
Conventions, wherever held. did like
wise, and in fact, it was generally
understood, that he was the choice
Of the Silver and Democratic parties,
as we'll as Of the Silver Republicans
for United States Senator. That the
Endorsement of Senator Jones was: in
accord with the popular sentiment
was conclusively demonstrated at the
ballot box, and the result was an
nounced by the press of the State as a
victory for Senator Jones.
Since the election and during the
absence of our Senators and Repre-
sentative, who we're at the time in
California, decided change in favor
OF the election OF men who could at
ford to spend more of their time
among their constituents manifested
itself throughout the State, and at the
solicitation Of ardent advocates of
@home rule" doctrine, Hon. George s.
Nixon Of Humboldt announces him
self candidate for United States
Senator. As no local conventions
were held in several counties i'll the
State, Mr.. Nixon was led to believe
that the members of the Legislature
from those counties were unpledged,
and as all are silver mon it was sup
posed that they we're free to vote for
whom they pleased, provided, of
course, that the aspirant for the Sen
atorship was for free coinage. Now,
it appears, that such Is not the case,
and that large majority of the
is pledged either by plat
form or declaration or both, to sup.
port Senator Jones. That being the
TACT. it is not probable that Mr.. Nix
On will be a candidate for tho Sem
atorship, as he is too honorable a
man to expect the support of men
pledged to Senator Jones.
Briefly stated, the situation is this:
The Silver party and the Democratic
party were virtually the same in the
recent campaign. The State tickets
Of both we're the same, as were several
Of the county tickets. The State
Convention Endorsed the candidacy
Df Senator Jones, q fact which doubt
less escaped the attention OF Mr.. Nix
Oh, or he would not announce himself
NJ being in the field for Senator
ss it would be q violation Of pledges
10 the public for the Silver party,
which will have large majority on
Joint ballot in the Legislature, to elect
any other person than John p. Jones
United States Senator, unless the
latter releases the party from its
pledges by withdrawing from the con-
'est. 800. g..

concluded that we would ask him
to srenew his subscription to the

Of gun wads and shot gun waddlng

never thought that the RECORD and

IN any way with such material. Blu;
there is no telling what such con-
Germs man will come to these hard

possible we approached our friend

that he used to take the RECORD

To Our Readers:

" Oui lbSdNNiHs
We are making every effort posi-
bic to get the business ct the SECoRp
in a shape SO that We can understand
what we are doing IN a business
way. We have quite annmber of
names on our list to whom we are
sending the paper regular and who
have been receiving it for a number
of years whllelt appears from the
books that many of these parties
have never paid a cent, or but trl-
he and they are now due from one
to ten dollars, Statements were
sent to each subscriber several mon
tbs ago by the former managers,
aud some came in and settled up,
but there are still great number
not heard IRON. We want every
one to have the RECORD who de-
sires to read 1t and pay for it, but
we are inclined to think that many
get it who are kind enough to take
it out of the office while at the same
time they do not intend to pay for
1t. 70 all such we do not and will
not send the paper if we know such
to be the case. We are doing what
we can under the circumstances to
make a paper worth the money and
we are not willing to give it to
tho sc who can pay for 1t, but will
not, while at the same time they
want to see what the RECORD has to
say. We are willing to send 1t to
Old people and children if they want
to read it, but to that class not willis
ing to pay for IL when they can, we
are not inclined to give it, o.
The paper was sent to many by
friends during contests wear or
two ago, whose names have never
been dropped from the list, they
perhaps thinking, that some one is
still sending the paper and paying.
for II, We wilt say to those that
we have but few of that character
and we believe not one who Is keep.
ing up the subscription Of friends.
which was handed IN during these
contests.
So, kind friends, We give you
thR notice, that when we have good
reasons to belieye that you do not
want the paper, or would like TO
read 1t but will not willingly pay for
it, we expect to drop your name nm
less we get notice from you within
the next two weeks, We also
bought the amounts due on sue.
scrpt,on and paid for theN, and we
expect to collect what is now due If
we do drop your name. 1t IS your
duty to notify the publishers If You
want your paper stopped, aud TO pay
up at the same time, and # you have
not done that the amounts stand
against you and we expect to co.'s
Icct them, II there are mistakes
and the books have not been oorrecJ'
ly kept, we assure you That we WiII
gladly make any correction possible.
What we want IL TO send the paper
