SWOLLEN WATERS
Wreck the Big L. & N. Railroad
Bridge at PasCagOuIa, Miss.
Traffic Suspended and the Situation
is Serious Half the Bridge
Reported Gone.

MOBILE, Ala, April % Two
spans of the big Louisville d Nash
Vile bridge at West Pascagoula,
place this morning by floating logs
coming down the OverflOwed river.
The passenger service il badly Grip
pied, and passengers and mails are
being transferred in boats. The
freight traffic is entirely suspended
This is on the direct line of travel
between New Orleans al the North
and East, and traffic Is always
heavy. The Pascagoula River,
which the bridge crosses between
West PascagOula and Scranton, has
been rising very rapidly the past few
days, and manv log booms broken
away from their moorlng up the
country, have been carried down
stream. Hundreds of logs lodged
against the piers and their weight,
together with the force of the water,
made terrific pressure.
Last night, fearing the safety OF
the bridge, the Louisville Il Nash
vile officials held up their passenger
train from New Orleans, which ar
rived here at mi1night. A long
train of freight cars was run onto
the bridge in an attempt to weight il
down, but the pressure was too great
The current during the morning was
about fifteen miles an hour, and
about 80 this afternoon, when the
ii wv of logs was heavier than for
some time, two spans of the steel
structure were moved ten feet out of
place. The water continues to carry
hundreds Of logs down stream and
the spans may be forced completely
off before morning.
Pascagoula River at the point
where the bridge crosses is now ten
miles in width, the entire district be-
ing traversed by the bridge and its
approaches.
The bridge is steel span some 400
feet long, and its loss at this time is
serious, as the Illinois Central and
Northwestern have been utilizing
the Louisville & Nashville to get out
their freight until they get their
roads in shape.
The Northwestern cannot resume
until Wednesday. The Illinois Cen
tral ran its train out to-day, but an
other general rain has already played
some havoc and by tomorrow all
Eastern freight may be tied up, or
take aroundabout route by the West
Half the Bridge Gone.
MOBILE, April 22.-Later advices
from Pascagoula say one half of the
bridge is now gone, and if the wind
shifts the structure will be totally de-
strOyed.

GUARDING THE BRIDGE.
Heroic Struggles of Railroad and
LumDermen.

MOBILE, April PA heroic fight
ia goirg on at Scranton and Moss
Point by railroad and lumbermen to
save the large property interests in
that locality from further damage
by fl DDS. The Louisville & Nash
willie Railroad forces, headed by
General Manager Metcalf, are try
ing to hold their tracks against the
rising waters.
The logs and driftwood coming
down on the flood have to be guided
between the bents of the trestle at
the bridge there and pushed away
where they lodge. The work of re-
building the bridge at the break
will be rnshed and a temporary
bridge thrown across the gap made
by the loss of three spans of the
Pascagoula bridge.
The road expects to be in work
ing order by Friday. There is great
danger, however, that the Scranton
bridges, two miles east of the Pasca-
goula bridge. may go. All depends
upon whether the enormous log
boom at Moss Point holds or not.

TO KILL ADMIRAL DEWEY.
An Insane Georgian Had His Plans
Laid.

MACON, Ga, April % p. A. Sum
mey, an old Confederate soldier,
will be sent TO the State Insane
Asylum at Milledgeville tomorrow.
In the course of an investigation
into his condition it was ascertained
that his mind had been wrong for
two years and that his mania has
been to kill somebody of promi-
nence.
When he saw the announcement
that Admiral Dewey was coming to
Macon on March %, it occurred to
him that this would afford the op-
pnrtunity of his life, and be made
his plans to assassinate the Admiral
in this city.
But on the morning before the
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey arrived,
Mr.. Summey had one of his lucid
periods. He says he fully realized
what he had been planning to DO,
and fearing that he might again be-
come deranged while the Admiral
was here, he Immediately left for the
couptry, remaining there several
days.
When he again ,st control of his
mental faculties his mania decided
itself against some other public
man, but having no opportunity to
kill anybody of national con
sequence he made no definite plans.
He was preparing to kill himself
when arrested.

THE EVANS CONVENTION.
Congressman Brownlow Strongly
Roasted by the Boilers.

NASHVILLE, April 21.-The Evans
crowd mustered fully 400 enthusiasts on
their break away from the Capitol, and
this number followed Col. W. s. Upton,
the leader of the bolt, to the Amuse-
ment Hall, where the convention of the
Evans men was opened. The crowd in
the afternoon was increased to about
1000 people, but, of course, a good
many of these were the friends of the
qualified and contested delegates of the
faction following the Commissioners of
Pensions.
The convention OF the Evans men was
marked with harmony all the way
through; and when the delegates got
down to business they carried matters
through with a rush, selecting their
candidates for the State offices and nam
ing delegates electors and State com
mitteemen without any sort of con-
test or wrangle.
The Evansi'es finished their work at
the afternoon session, and when the
convention adjourned the delegates left
the Amusement Hall in the best Of
humor, which was marked contrast to
the feeling they first entered the build
ing.
Brownlow Roasted.
1t is unnecessary to say that Mr..
Brownlow was "roaste1' by the Evans
crowd when they got their convention
under way. The strongest speech made
against the opposition was delivered by
Commissioner Evans himself; in fact,
his speech was so scathing that it even
surprised the delegates, whose indigna-
ton was wrought up to the highest
pitch.
w +. PASTOR of Crockett county, was
nominated as the candidate for Gov
ernor bv acclamation.
Chas. r.. Evans of Hamilton county,
and s. w. Hawkins of Carroll county,
