NEW YORK, July 9.-The Stock Mar

Paul was again the feature in respect Of
strength and activity, and the stock
scored substantial recovery from yes

Outside OF the railway list there was
little activity and no striking move

millions OF qOHO

Levees of the Mississippi
River Being Opened.
INHABITANTS MOVING AWAY
In Some Places Canal Is Choked to the
Depth Of Six Feet and Tons of Lime
Are Being Used to Prevent Stencil and
Sickness.

NEW ORLEANS. La. July "a large
force Of laborers IS this morning en-
gagged in cutting the levee of the Mis-
sissippi River to allow the water TO flow
through Harvey's Canal and wash out
the millions of tons of dead fish. Be
cause Of wind blowing from the direc-
ton Of Harvey's Canal across the river
this morning the upper portion Of the
city is enveloped IN sickening stencil
The river end of the canal is now
closed up, the locks having long since
ceased to work, and an embankment
having been built behind them to
strengthen the levee connections with
Barataria Bay. From some unaccount-
able cause last Thursday a school Of
millions of large buffalo fisn entered the
canal from the bayous and the bay,
completely choking IT up.
Some Of these fish were the largest
of the kind ever seen on the Gulf Coast.
As buffalo are fresh water fish, no one
can offer any explanation OF how they
first got into the salt water of the bay.
It is generally supposed that an ex-
tTaordinary undertide Of salt water
backed up the canal and the bayous
leading into 1t, driving the fish further
inland and that the water which en-
veIoped them caused them to die the
next day.
At any rate, they began to die during
Friday and the canal became choked
up with dead fish in some places to the
depth OF six feet The first newspaper
stories Of the extraordinary occurrence
were considered to be jokes but the
thousands of people who visited TIE ca
nal soon substantiated the newspaper
articles. The Louisiana Cypress Lum-
Der Company. which operated a large
force OF hands on the canal, closed down
Tor several days.
This company has been paying $3.50
per day for negroes who would aid in
taking out the dead fish and burn them
on the banks. But even the darkies.
who were well soaked with really good
whisky. soon gave up the task in dis
gust.
Tbs Inhabitants in the near vicinity Of
ths canal are moving away until the
stencil can be abated But II las not
untn this morning that the awful smell
was blown across the river in the up
per district Of the city, so that mos
fashionable neighborbo9d is very badly
inconvenienced. A tErge force Of hands
is engaged In cutting through the river
levee this morning. and It IS hoped that
By Friday morning the water OF the
river may be turned through the canal,
and thus wash out the putrid mash of
dead fish into the ocean. where they
may be dcvoured by the sharks and
other big fish Many tons Of lime have
been piled on heaps OF decaytng fish
raked out OF the canal and partly burn
ed. Tut this experiment proved without
any particular success fn abating the
sueIl.
