passed away. Twoyears ago Catterson
had dream or vision and to his at
tendant and few personal friends he
announced that two years later. on
March 81, 1885, he would have ceased
to live. He drew up his will, con-
tracted for his grave and coffin. caused
the tombstone to be erected bearing
the then advance day of his death and
even engaged the services Of an under
taker for the date which he had an
nounced for his demise. All was re-
called Tuesday when the simple an
nouncement was made that James
Catterson was dead. Death was due
to purely natural causes

A LEVEE GOES OUT.
Thousands Of Acres Under Water at Sulli-

SULLIVAN, Ind, March 90 The levee
on the Wabash river went out last
night with break of 100 feet, entail
ing loss of 800, 900. Twenty thou
sand acres of land are overtlowed, and
hundreds of families are rendered
homeless and destitute. Citizens are
responding for miles around in their
efforts to remove families and stock.
Hundreds of cattle and horses
are hemmed In. Such rush OF
water was never known in this sec.
ton Of the country before A calam-
ity, second only to the great Johns
town flood, Is upon us. The levee is
II miles long and was built at cost
of $4,000, A grand effort is being
made to rescue the families from their
submerged homes. The waters are
making mad rush through the bot
tom lands, uprooting trees and taking
everything in its path. 1t is feared
that many people who were slow to
take warning, will meet death in the
flood. A dispatch from Emerson says
that 49, 900 bushels Of corn and s. hogs
were swept away by The floods.
