A TREMENDOUS RAIN.

And the rain descended, and the
floods came, and the winds blew" and
beat upon the houses of Brookhaven;
but, whether or not they we're founded
upon sand or rock or gravel, they "fell
not" we are happily able to state. On
last Wednesday evening at about i
o'clock, there was a tumultuous gath
ering of lowering clouds "where the
sun was setting low" whisks OF wind
began to make ones hat uneasy, and
soon the rain followed such
rain! In three hours time it measured
seven inches and in low places veritable
rivers of water flowed with speed and
power; and unaccustomed eyes looked
with something of awe upon the rush
ing torrents beneath the bright sparkle
of the electric lights. Just outside of
Brookhaven, three cows belonging to
w. +. Parsons were drowned in his
pasture, and there was minor damage
all over town to fences and small
property.
The rain seems to have been pretty
general in this and other States, and
there has been immense loss of prop
erty and of money by workmen forced
out of employment, as was the case at
Jackson when last heard from, the
high waters of the Pearl having in
vaded the waterworks plant and
stopped all mills and manufacturing
establishments dependent upon it for
water supply.
AS far as this county is concerned.
a number Of small bridges were washed
away; but the most expensive bridge
across Fair River and the splendid
new steel one across the Homochitto.
both remain intact.
Our sister county of Lawrence also
proudly reports that the Pearl River
bridge remains In good condition al
though the water rose higher than was
ever known, and there has been con
slant uneasiness lest the new steel
structure be awept away. Mails and
trains at Brookhaven have been very
irregular ever since last Wednesday
night. Papers and letters which
ought to have been received at this
office last Saturday and Sunday have
not come yet,
Pearl river at Jackson is two feet
higher now than ever known. |. C,
trains are not able to pass Byram on
account of high water from the river.

CITY COUNCIL.

A considerable amount of new busi.
ness was transacted by the City Coun.
Gil last night.
Bids for working the streets by con-
tract were received from f. B. Smith &
Sons, Tho3. G. Crawford, l. p. Will
Hanson, T. w. Hilton and Aaron
Hurst, five in all, and after being
opened and read, were laid aside for
further action at an adjourned meeting
on next Friday night
The $500 additional School bonds
advertised to be sold, were bought by
the Bank of Brookhaven at par and
accrued interest.
An order was passed to refund, at a
lower rate of interest, as soon as the
Aecessary preliminaries can be com
piled with, the first issue of water and
electric light bonds, amounting to S40,-
900.
A petition to extend the water works
system to the Schwem Addition, and
petition to require property owners to
build sidewalks on East Cherokee
street, were granted.
The City Marshal was directed to
proceed to enumerate all persons liv-
ing within the corporate limits liable
to street duty.
\ yery important item of new buSi
ness was the ordering of an election on
Tuesday, May 9th, on the question of
issuing bonds, in sum not exceeding
$4,000, for sewerage.

Il RAINS TIED UP.
Floods Greatly Obstruct Rail
Road Travel.

jackson, March 28.-Late this after
noon the Illinois Central began to
move trains on its main line and the
officials hope to keep the line open
from now on. The a. g. Y. is suffering
from a complete tie up and the otti
cials here do not know when traffic
will be resumed. Traffic has been re-
sumed on the Little 81" and the
Yazoo branch. No trains have come
in over the Gulf & Ship Island and it
may be some time before through
traffic is resumed on this road 1t is
the worst tie. up that this section has
experienced in many years. The dam
age to the truck patches and the gar
dens is enormous and reports from the
country today are to the effect that
much corn has been washed up and
will have to be replanted. The dam
age in the city will amount to several
thousand dollars, Town creek is fall
ing but Pearl river and the back wa
ters are rising. 1t has continued to
rain at intervals all day and the indi-
cations are that it will continue all
through the night.

Mrs. Mary l.. Cannon and Mr.. john
Teuni,son, of Monticello, we're visitors
Monday ana yesterday. Mr.. Teunis-
son reports that a young man, Will
Jones by name, had the misfortune
during the recent flood to have one of
his fingers pulled off. He accidentally
had the member caught in y kink of
the rope to raft that was going down
stream and before he could extricate
himself or jump into the water, the
finger was severed and a very severe
wrench given his shoulder and arm.
1t is thought that the wound will heal
and that he will suffer no more serious
trouble than the loss of the finger.

"Easter Sunday" was an ideal one
the sun that gives life aud beauty to
each living thing emerged brilliantly
from the bleakness aud the lowering
clouds of the previous week and to the
devout mind, the things of earth made
beautiful by the majesty and match
lessness of the god of day, became
typical of the glorified body of the
dead risen in newuess of life ON the
resurrection morn, in the presence of
the Son of Righteousness; or, told
how, on each Sabbath of the year, the
day commemorative of the resurrec-
tion of our Lord. we might shake off
the shackles of business and of care
and let our spiritual natures exult in
the freedom of the redeemed soul
whose highest pleasure is the worship
of the Redeemer, regardless of special
days or formalities. Easter Sunday
was a pleasant and profitable day in
this city.

Now that Mississippi has gotten
started on her Worlds Fair business,
that is she is sufficiently advanced to
guarantee that she is going to have a
big exhibit at st. Louis next year, it
would be we'll for the farmers, truck
growers, fruit raisers and others to
prepare to raise prize winner in their
respective lines and to preserve them
in alcohol or by other means till time
to forward them to the Commission
ers. Mississippi had the finest apples
at New Orleans a few years ago;
let her do the same and better, this

biggest and finest melons, fruits, veg
etables, grapes, nuts, and other
products of the soil is bound to win
fame and fortune in the end.-Clarion-

Piled the sensation were C. s. Titus. OF

Louis Scholes, OF the Don Club. OF

Both are entered in the Diamond Sculls

the curiosity to see who was the better

sands OF spectators who fri1ged both
banks of the river.
The others entered were Juvenal,s Yes

The other hair-raising feature of the
days sport was the senior eight-oared
she'll race between Columbia Varsity.
the Harlem Rowing Club and the New
York Athletic Club. The collegians were
favorites fer first prize, but finished FIVE
feet behind the Harlems. It is safe to
say that no crew on earth could beat
the Harlem's time for the mile min
uies 80 seconds. n. Y. A. c. was two
lengths behind Columbia.
