tinues at the present rate that city

Bristol, March 11-Work on the

friend at his home at o'clock last

Pennell purchased cigar just prior

With these facts in hand and no

OF suicide are given little credence

st. Louis, March 11-A special to
the Post Dispatch from Carruthers-
Vile, Mo-, says the old levee, the
greatest danger point along the Mis-
sissippi, mile and quarter south OF
here, is caving, with the river show
ing a rise of four inches and rain fall
in heavily.
The situation is very grave. Gov
ernment engineers regard it as the
most critical flood point along the
river Four hundred men under En-
gineer Fitzpatrick are building new
levee.
Landing places along the river are
submerged, many towns are entirely
surrounded, and the river, which con-
tinues to rise, has backed for miles.
The levees are between the. flood and
charlottesville, 5000 of whose inhab-
itants are in fear of destruction, and
surrounding counties, aggregating $5-
100000, are in danger.
The Mississippi river is rising
steadily at Memphis, Tenn. The
guage this morning marked 35.2. This
is rise of five-tenths of foot in the
past "a hours. 1t is believed that the
river will reach mark of 38 feet at
Memphis. Reports from Mississippi
and Arkansas today indicate that the
gravest apprehension prevails regard
ing the flood situation. In some dis
tricts armed sentries are patrolling
the levees. All streams and rivers
i'll Arkansas are overlooking. In
North Memphis the flood has already
begun encroaching at certain points
and it will take but a few inches to
render work impossible at many of
the lumber industries in this state.
At Greenlaw and Second streets the
backwaters have reached the latter
thoroughfare and the occupants of

Prior to the examination of the au-

ployes of the concern that sold the
vehicle to Pennell, Medical Examiner
Dancer visited the place where the
accident occurred. Afterward he
said: "Pennell put on the brake of

IGNORE PETITIONS.
Harney and Clancy Pass Up AppIica-

tionS TOR Chan9e OF Juo9e.
Butte, March 11.-Judges Harvey
and Clancy have evidently determin-
ed to pursue the policy of ignoring
the petitions for changes of judges
as provided by the fair trial bill, and
the attorneys will present their petit
tions directly to the supreme court.
Even if the petitions were granted
here the matter would, under the
law, be required to be taken to the

tion.
The three days time limit allowed

steamers are carrying sacks of sand
and other supplies to the more danger
Gus places.
At New Orleans the river is rising
very slowly. The guage today mark
ed 1874, raise of only one-tenth in
the past "a hours. The stage is still
over foot under the record. The
most unfortunate condition at pres
ent is the continuance of the rainy
weather. This is having the effect Of
softening the levees, and all Louisi-
ana is praying for the return of sun
shine.
Six hundred men are at work to-
day at various points sacking weak
points and raising the line of embank-
ment. Thousands of sacks of sand
are being distributed along the river.
The engineers report the levees be-
tween South Port and Carrollton in ex-
cellent condition and able to stand a
much greater strain than they have
thus far been subjected to.
The United States engineer officials
have promised their cooperation
with the authorities in carrying on
the fight against the flood. All the
levee boards of the state may be said
to be in continuous session and every
foot of levee on the river and it's trib-
utaries is under surveillance.
