Driven from Their Homes.

New Madrid, Mo-, April 3.-Five per-
sons were found dead at point 80 miles
below here yesterday. They had either
starved to death or died of fright. The
water was at the caves of the house and
the victims were in the attic.

points in the state and in South Dako-
Ia remains serious. Mr.. Hudlesin, of
Prescott, was drowned yesterday while
trying to cross the South st. Paul Belt
Line bridge, although he had been
warned of the danger.
Expect bad Flood.
Alton, ILL.,, April 3.-The government
forecast officials at st. Louis wired here
Friday that disastrous food stage will
be reached by Sunday. The river bad
already risen to 20 feet above low water
mark, the highest point touched for five
years, and this intelligence caused a
mild panic among those who have hoped
against hope for relief. The levees in
st. Charles county gave way Friday and
many splendid wheat farms are under
water. Hundreds of families have been
compelled to move within the past "a
hours, and several relief boats were
called out Friday evening. The river is
21h feet above low water mark and
works are running siphon pumps day
and night.
Change for the Worse.
Jackson, Miss, April 3.-The only
change in the situation in the Delta is
for the worse. The water is still pour
ing through the breaks and cncroach-
ing upon places heretofore thought
above the danger line. Plantations
never before under water are now sub
merged. The streets of Greenville are
now navigable only by boat. The flood
from above having met and joined forces
with that from below, nearly 1000 fam
lilies in Greenville are surrounded by
water; still some portions of the little
city are dry. The levees there still
hold. however. Citizens of Huntington
telegraphcd the governor to send so
tents at once. They were forwarded by
the first train, but will have TO make
several miles of the journey by skiff.
More Levces Break.
New Orleans, April 3.-The second
break in the lower Louisiana levee sys-
TEN occurred Friday morning on Bayou
La Fourche. The break has widened to
100 feet and there is no hope that it
will be closed. The break is SO miles
below Thibodaux, where the levees are
neither large nor modern. In that sec
tion there are a large number of truck
farmers, who have we'll cultivated and
extremely fertile lands. 1t is quite
probable that these unfortunate
people will suffer severely because the
crevasse comes too large for the water
to run off in time for them to make an
other crop.

Miller. the Blakeley Wife Murderer,
slashes His Throat With q Knife.

Charles e. Miller. the Port Blakeley
wife murderer made desperate attempt
to end his existence yesterday morning IN
the county jail by cutting his throat with
a pen knife. He had been told by Jaiier
Erisman to get himself ready to leave
with the sheriff for Sidney. where his
trial was set for yesterday afternoon.
"AH right" he answered. "wait until I
go 10 the closet.
Jailer Erisman waited few minutes.
but Miller failed to show up so he called
TO him again. No answer came. Where
is Miller?" he asked of one of the pris-
oners.
I'm the closet. think"
'"Tell him to come out
The prisoner went in. but returned i'm
mediately with the news that Miller was
lying on the floor.

said the jailer. and quicker than IL takes
To say IL the murderer WAS pulled into the
corridor. Blood was streaming from two
gaping wounds In his neck and his face
was ashen white. The jailer had him car
ried to the womans department and sent
for Coroner Yandell, A message was also
sent 10 DIR. Askam, who was waiting at
the wharf 10 accompany Miller over. The
physicians FASTENED to the Jail with all
possible speed and attended to the wound
ed man. sewing up the gashes and giving
authorities at Sidney that Miller had at
tempted to take his own life and could
not be taken over. consequently court was
adjourned until the first Wednesday in
July.
Miller said the knife was handed in to
him from the outside Sunday night by
friend. and that he had hoped to end his
life. After doing the carving he threw
the knife in the closet. TO fellow pris-
ouer Miller said he guessed he would not
be tried for awhile.
Jailer Erisman said it was the easiest
thing in the world for person to pass
a weapon through the bars into the Jail
from the outside. 1t will be remembered
that Larry Cummings, the Seattle wife
murderer. killed himself in jail with a
pistol that had been passed In from the
outside. 1t is probable now that the COM
missioners will take action in remedying
this fault
DR.. Askam says Miller's wounds are not
dangerous and that he will soon recover.
