THE CAKE WALK.

Davy Boughtons much talked of
cake walk took place last evening in
Evans Hall. The hall was we'll filled
with onlookers, but the contestants
for the prizes in the cake walks were
not as numerous as had been expect
ed, but the twenty couple that took
part furnished lots of amusement tor
those who paid admission, and all got
the worth of their money. Davy was
little bit late in getting things start
ed and it was nearly ten o'clock when
the fun began.
The first thing on the program was
the grand march, after which came
the first cake walk, the winner of
which was entitled to the first prize of
a gold watch.
The Judges, Geo. Enterline, Chas.
Reice, James Staver, w. c. Faust,
John Armstrong, and f. P. Williams,
took their seats, and the walk started.
The judges were unable to decide as
to who was the best man, and it was
finally agreed to put the seven votes
in hat and the last name drawn was
to win the watch. This was done,
and Clarence O'Brien, of William
sport, was the winner.
George Washington says the rea-
son he wasn't in it was because his
girl was out of town. and besides this
he had to break in new pair of
slippers. The second prize, large
cake, was divided between Frank
Parks OF Bloomsburg and ]. Baker Of
Danville.
Davy says he expected to see more
from other towns, but won't kick, as he
came out even. Rux orchestra of
Williamsport furnished the music.

DAMAGE BY FLOOD
Two Thousand Homeless in Mississippi.
he tovee System Succumbs 10 the Strain.

News from the Mississippi Valley is
Of the most distressing nature. The
magnificent levees, upon which
millions of Federal as well as State
money have been expended, have sue.
cumbed to the terrible strain, and an
ocean of water is rushing through and
over the finest farming land this side
of the Nile, carrying death and des.
tTuction in its wake.
GREENvILLE IN GREAT DANGER.
Greenville is in great danger. The
water from the middle break will par
tally flood that town. If the levee in
front of Greenville should break, the
loss of life and property would be
enormous.
Railroad communication has al
ready been cut in two places and be-
fore long the Georgia Pacific road
running east from Greenville may be
flooded.
Probably $1,000 people are work
ing with desperation born of despair
to save their homes and property.
The whole machinery of the State and
the Illinois Central Railroad is being
brought into play. 1t is currently re-
ported that the levee in front of La
COMA Circle, Ark, has broken. If
this be true, and it probably is, 10000
acres of fertile cotton land will be
flooded.
HEAVY LOSS TO THE STATE.
The breaks that have already oc-
Cured have done incalculable damage,
but no loss of human life has been re-
ported. Horses, mules and cattle
have, however, been swept away. The
worn-out people are still at work to
prevent other breaks, and thousands
hne the great embankments. All
business is suspended.
From Vicksburg news is to the ef-
feet that the river is higher than has
been known since the war. The
kvees thereabouts are still holding but
are weakening, and may not last
through the great strain.
The State is one of the heaviest
losers by the breaks already had, as
the eight or ten convict farms, aver
aging 10000 acres each, are even now
under water, and hundreds Of acres of
growing corn ruined. The crisis is
expected very soon all along the line.
1t is estimated that fully a,ooo
people are homeless and at the mercy
Of charity. Horses and cattle have
been washed away by the thousand.

members have reported out for a place
on the calendar Mr.. Seyrert's bill
againat pugilistic contests. 1T goes to
extren1es," says Mr.. voorhees,, as II
would render liable to the penalty for
murder such persons as those whose
fists recently caused the death OF two
sparrers in Philadelphia. Admitting
that there should be increased restric-
uons upon such contests. We think this
bill should be ventilated In the housA

foolish legislation as the bills against

A duplicate Of the retaliatory insur-
ance bill introduced by Representative
VOORHEES, in the house was presented
by hr. Durham in the senate. and is on
second reading there. Agents OF for.

its progress, presumably with adverse
purposes, as il would require the insur-

states whose representatives refuse 10
