Chief Detective Carpenter says If
Allen was even in Montreal, it was only
long enough to mail the letter.

at Lucy has failed, the upper end
again giving way. The levee and
Texas & Pacific forces have resumed
work with larger force than ever
and there Is still hope Of success.
The crevasse is now $50 feet wide and
its water Is inundating large terri
tory. The water will likely spread
as far as Bayou La Fourche and do
heavy damage. The trouble is with
the sandy soil which has washed
away beneath mammoth lines Of
cribwork being erected. As soon as
these hold the space between the inn
mense fences will be filled in with
sacks Of earth and the river checked.
Water seepiug Through the Arnolia Levse

Of Concordla parish, La, was in i'm

ed hundreds Of sightseers from
Natchez yesterday. The water was
seeping through, and so men were
put to work TO save the levee. It is
believed that the levee

RESCUE BOATS III all DIRECTIONS.


Greenville, Miss, March 31.--There
II little change in the food situation
:. The cutting Of the protection levee
at the northern border Of the town
has given no perceptible relief in
letting out the water. On the con-
trary, rise is still in progress gem
orally throughout the city.
| The crevasse below Greenville Ia
about 1000 feet wide and the water
is rushing through at rapid rate,
overlooking Issaquena, Sharkey and
q portion Of Washington counties.
So far as known not a single life has
been lost as Q result of the breaking
of the leyee and the subsequent
flooding Of the country. The negro
woman and five children that were
reported to have perished were res
cued. Rescue boats are out In every
direction and all refugees brought
to the city are being cared for. In
Greenville the water is causing end
less Inconvenience and much dam
age, but the city and its inhabitants
are not considered to be in danger,
even should the water 60 much
higher.
Cribbing Carried Away at Hymelis Crevasse
New Orleans, March 31.-The car
rying away of additional cribbing
at the Hymelia crevasse early yes
terday morning brought the forces
that have been at work there to
the verge Of abandonment Of the at
tempt to close the break. Later
in the day, however, 1t was agreed
to continue the undertaking, though
all hands are likely to be called off |
If the terrific current washes out |
the new lines of cribbing which
were started from both ends Of the
levee late yesterday afternoon. In
no event can the work be completed
inside of week and unless ample
money is given the next disaster
to the cribbing Is likely to mark
the end Of the struggle. l.
Two ridges between which the
levee caved have prevented the water
from spreading rapidly above and
below, but the mighty, torrent is
filing the lakes and bayous to the
rear, and In the next fortnight the
whole basin from the La Fourche to
The lower limits Of cultivated land

SOUTH CAROLINA AND ASSASSI
NATION.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Inquirer has been careful not to
join in with those newspapers that
are condemning South Carolina as a
State because of the miserable failure
of Justice in the Tillman case. There
must be some honest men. in South
Carolina to speak up in defense Of
the commonwealth. It is not right
to condemn whole community IN
heard. But if the acquittal of Ex
Lieutenant Governor Tillman does not
arouse public indignation to a high
pitch, then the barbaric sentiment
which seems to have pervaded the
jurymen must be taken as representa-
tive of the sentiment of the State at
large, and South Carolina will richly
deserve the contempt that all honest
men ere heaping upon tie heads Of the
ignoble twelve. 1t is possible that
South Cardinals notion of chiyalry
embraces cold -blooded assassination?
There was time when South Caro-
lima believed in fair fighting. Is it
possible that man can be permitted
to walk the streets with revolver in
his pocket ready for instant use when
be sees a political enemy, can shoot
that unarmed enemy down and be re-
ceived by society as a hero? We shall
see.
