Nine Houses Burned This Morning-Loss
About $1,000.
Fire broke out at o'clock this morning
in a row Of nine houses in the Burfoot
Addition, back Of Morrisette Brothers
store. in Swansboro
The blaze started Mr.. c. p. RusseIls
house. and spread rapidly in succession
to those Of Mr. Stuart Nrorrisette. Mrs.
Rudd. Mr.. Thomas Morris, Mr.. Thompson.
and five others in the same row.
Swansboro has no facilities for fighting
fire, and tho Manchester department was
unable to reach it, consequently little
could be done to check its progress.
The buildings were valued at about
5000. and were owned by building and
kan association, and are. therefore, sup
posed TO be insured.
All OF the occupants OF the burned build
ings except Mr. Russell saved their furni-
ture and household effects.
The fire made an exceedingly bright blaze
and Illuminated the clouds for miles
around.

HIGH WATEHON THE MISSISSIPPI
Two Arkansas Towns Submergcd-Higher
Than Ever Known at Memphis.


Than Ever Known Mt Memphis.
MEMPHIS, TENN, March l3.-The
Mississippi river here now registers
higher stage OF water than ever known.
Disaster attending this condition began
to-day. two Arkansas towns across from
this city being submerged and the in
habitants 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 mOrnig. The
break occurred before many Of the in
habitants had left their beds and there
was a scene Of great hustle and excite
meut, bat no loss of life. Livestock. how
ever IS being almost eXterminated the
highest points IN that section being un-
der water.
This city IS, OF course In no danger as
n whole, owing 10 its natural protection,
but the bayou extending entirely through
the city is overlooking from river back
water and threatening damage to abut-
ting property. From one Of the largest
cotton sheds on its banks to-day II be-
came necessary 10 remove three thousand
bales OF cotton from the waters path. SO
far az known none Of the main levees are
trembling under the pressure OF water,
but they are being guarded all along the
line
