TWO TOWNS INUNDATED

WATER HIGHEST EVER KNOWN
People of Marion, a Ark., Compelled
to Leave Their Beds and Flee
for'Their Lives-The Leyee Broke
and the Surging Waters Swept
All Before 1t.

Memphis, Tenn, March 13.-The Missis-
sippi River here now registers d higher
stage of water than ever known.
Disaster attending this condition began
today, two Arkansas towns across from
this city being submerged and the inhabi-
tants driven to safer places. These are
Marion and West Memphis.
The former is under from three to four
feet OF water, due TO break of its pro-
lection levee early this morning The
break occurred before many OF the inhabi-
tants had left their beds and there was
scene of great hustle and excitement, but
no loss of life. Live stock, however is
being almost decimated, the highest points
in that section being under water.
This city is, OF course, in no danger as
whole, owing TO its natural protection,
but the bayou extending entirely throug h
the city Is overflowing from river back
water and threatening damage to abutJing
property.
From one OF the largest cotton sheds on
its banks today it became necessary to
remove three thousand bales OF cotton
from the waters path.
So far as known none OF the main leyees
are trembling under the pressure OF water
but they are being guarded all along the
line.

A GOOD PLACE FOR PAYNE
Report That He Has Been Offered
the German Mission.
1t Is Sad News, If True, for Mer-
riam-Mr. Payne Declines
to Commit Himself.

Hon. Henry NJ. Payne, of Wisconsin,
member of the National Republican COM
mittee, arrived in this city last night
and is staying at the Arlington.
Mr.. Payne is the great disgruntled"
of the Mckinley Administration 1t is
said that he had almost promise OF 1.
Cabinet position from Mr.. Hanna and
others, IN fact. nearly everybody except
President Mckinley himself He failed
TO connect with the Cabinet position.
1t is further stated by an astute poll
tician that in the refusal of President Nc
hinley TO keep the promises of his party
leaders he exhibited decided backbone
Mr.. Payne suIked. Senator Spuoner is
said to have consulted long and earnestly
with President Mckinley and also to have
telegraphed Mr.. Payne that he could have
almost any diplomatic posi- ton he wished
1t is reported that the gentleman who bad
had been refused Cabinet position an
swered this telegram that ne would take
nothing from the present Administration
However, it is thought that Mr Payne
would not refuse the German mission
MIR. Payne is said to have done great
work during the campaign and to be de-
serving Of large recognition.
Mr. McKiniey's reasons for refusing to
comply with the wishes OF Mr. Hanna in
the case Of Mr. Payne have furnished
material for much surmise. 1t is a fact
that the gentleman from Wisconsin has
been prominent in ways that have made
bin cordially diisliked by organized labor
Mr. Payne does not wish any position for
the salary attachment He is reputed to
be millionaire.
Senator SpOOner was closeted with Mr..
Payne for a long time last night. 1t is said
he had good news for him; that his fate
and Merriam's had been decided by the
offer of the German mission to him and
not to Merriam. This cannot, however, be
verified.
Mr. Payne was seen by a Times re-
porter for moment shortly after his ar
rival,
MY business in the National Capital at
this time is of personal nature. l eX-
pect to call on President Mckinley while
/ am here, but my visit will be purely
social one. and will have no political sig
nficanCe.''
Mr.. Payne appeared to be in high good
humor about something.

HOUSEBREAKERS CAPTURED
They Robbed the Stores Of Ninth
Street Merchants.
The Criminals, Who Are Young
Men, Confessed Their Guilt.
Their Plan of Operation.

Detectives Helan and Lacey, Of the cen
last night of three colored thieves who
have been wanted for some time past for
housebreaking. The prisoners confessed
their guilt, to a large extent, and gave
their names as Charles Wormley. aged
twenty-five years; Ambrose, alias "Boze."
Turner, twenuy-one and James Cosey,
eighteen.
at intervals for several months past the
merchants and storekeepers along Ninth
street, between d and E streets, have been
missing goods in small quantities, as well
as change which might have been left in
the money drawers. Saloonkeeper Brett
barth, Confectioner Sharpless and Caterer
Budd have been the principal losers. From
the former place the thieves took q large
quantity Of wines, liquors and cigars, while
five-pound boxes of candy were missed
from Mr.. Sbarpless' establishment. and
silverware, consisting or knives, forks and
spoons, as well as bigh-priced cakes and
confections, from Budd's store.
The robberies were usually committed
on Sunday nights after II O'Clock, and no
trace of the thieves could be found. Some
Of the merchants suspected clerks and
others in their employ, and kept vigilant
watch, but were unable to discover how
the leakage occurred.
Several days ago "Boze" Turner, one OF
the prisoners, whom Detective Lacey had
in times past befriended, told the officer
that he could put him onto a good case,
and when closely questioned implicated
the other boys in the crimes. The detec-
tiyes discovered yesterday, after following
the boys ciew, that a part of the stolen
goods had been sold to Mrs. Hedgman,
who keeps small store at the corner OF
Second and Half streets southwest, while
others had been peddled out and otherwise
disposed OF by the thieves.
Last night the officers located the three
thieves and arrested them. They were
taken to police Eeadqu rters and ''sweated'
and confessed TO a large number of thefts.
Wormley stated that he had planned the
robberies and had always been assisted
10y Tuner and Cosey, the latter standing
outside the stores and remaining on watch
TO give the alarm in case they should be
detected. He said that colored man
who had stolen from the stores before,
but who was now in Philadelphia, had
told him that the places were easy marks,
and could be robbed without difficulty or
detection. Entrance was made to the
buildings from an alley in the lear, and
by scaling a high wall and raising win
dows. The police believe that these thieves
are esponsible for large number Of
housebreaklngs which have been reported
recently. They already have evidence
of three distinct cases against them, and
it is believed that they We're implicated
in at least half dozen more.

haust heard at starting and upon some
OF the curves. The car was reversed a
number of times when under way and
