Attempted to Dynamite a Levee.

The question that is now botheriDg
the good people in the lower part OF
st. James parish, at Laplace and VI
cinity, is: "Who attempted to dyna-
mite the Bonnet Carre levee?" That
this attempt was made is beyond per-
adventure. A figure .sneaking from
observation behind fence corner, a
series of shots into the darkness at q
fleeing figure, and the discovery OF
two eighth dynamite bombs care
fully wrapped andtied, found at the
base of the government levee. fifty
feet FROM the bad stretch of Bonnet
Carre, is sufficient evidence that das-
tardly crime was well. nigh perpe-
trated. AS result of the unusual in
cident there is a deep-seated resent
ment on the part of the people living
behind the high levee at the point In
question against the person or persons
who either inspired or made the at
tempt to create cravasse. Who the
cnlprit is or what were-his reasons for
breaking into.the unbroken line OF
levees on the east bank OF the river be-
low Baton Rouge is not known.

The LouisvIlle and Nashville Wreck.

At the Office Of the superintendent of
transportation of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad in Louisville, KY,
Thursday. it was learned that Engineer
Adams, Fireman Jones and Express
Messenger Locke were badly scalded
and injured in the Evergreen, Ala.
wreck. In many respects the wreck
was similar to the recent awful affair at
Cahaba, Ala, and though not attended
with such disastrous results, seemed to
have been planned as deliberately as
that one. According to the information
which has reached the superintendent
Of transportation, four negro tramps,
who we're seen in the neighborhood,
shortly before the accident occurred,
removed the rails Just south Of the tres
tie. The job wis neatly done and moth
ing would have saved the trainload of
passengers had it not been for the her
oism of Fireman Jones and Engineer
Adams, who remained at their posts
after the engine had left the track.
The engine, tender, baggage and meil
cars we're completely wrecked, but none
of the passengers we're injured.

Interstate Commerce Commission.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, with Messrs. Morrison, Clement,
Prouty and Knapp present and had a
hearing in Memphis, Friday, on the
cotton shipping question, in sil OF its
ramiications. The principal discussion
was upon floating cotton into the coun-
try congresses and to giving it a
through billing. The practice is the
same as milling in transit on grain, and
the railroad men claim that if floating
is decided to be illegal millingin transit
will also be abolished. From the line
of questions asked Of several of the
witnesses it seems as if the commission
was again going to bring up the export
rate question. Soon after it organized
the<commission took turn at export
rates and q United States Judge in
Texas decided that this was out of the
province of the commission. The case
was not appealed and if ruling should
be made upon it, the railroads will be
certain to fight il in the courts. The
commission left Friday night, two
going to Nashville and the other mem.
bers to st. Louis.

A Break Stopped.

The utmost interest and determined
effort in the work of holding the great
water.which is sweeping steadily and
powerfully down, and seemingly bent
upon the final victory over every re-
sistance. was displayed at Baton Rouge
Saturday by an indomitable fight,
which has resulted in the complete
checking of what was undoubtedly q
serious breaking. Saturday, a small
leak of the levee at Burton Lumber
Co.'s saw mill yard was discovered,
which developed into break, requir-
ing two hours of hard work, by the
united efforts of the railroad and mill
employees, over $50 in number, to
check.
