Country Covered with Water.

Greenville, Miss, March 28.-The
water continues to pour through the
crevasse at La Grande, five miles
south of this city, at a fearful rate,
and the surrounding country for miles
is covered by two to five feet of water
The break has widened over night and
is now about 400 yards wide. The wild
est excitement prevailed here last
night and reports of loss of life were
received, but this morning there is no
confirmation, and it is believed that all
persons had sufficient warning to es-
cape. The loss to live stock, however,
viii be enormous, as hundreds of
horses, mules, COWS and hogs were
swept away. This morning the water
submerged the entire southern part of
the city. The business portion of the
city has so far escaped the encroach-
ment of the flood, but the water is ris-
ing rapidly and the worst is feared.

Cleveland, March 2s.-A desperate
battle was fought early today between
three robbers on one side and officers
and citizens on the other, at Bedford
a suburb, resulting in the death of one
of the robbers and the wounding and
capture of another. The third man es-
capped. Very late last night three
masked men entered the town of Gar
rettsville. twenty-five miles east of
Cleveland, and attempted to blow open
the safe of the postoffice and failed.
They stole a horse and buggy and
drove to Ravena, where they boarded
a freight train for Cleveland In the
meantime the authorities had been
aroused at both Ravena and CARROTS
vile and when the train arrived at
Bedford a number of deputy sheriffs
and a posse of citizens were on hand,
armed with guns and revolvers. The
three burglars jumped from the train
as it drew up to the station and run
ming fight began, with the above re-
suit. None of the officers or citizens
were injured.

RAGING RIVER.
The Mississippi Foamins Torrent at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, La, March 2S.-The
river has fallen here another tenth of
a foot, undoubtedly the result Of a
break at Hymelia. The news from
Hymelia continues to he favorable,
though the work of cribbing was some
what retarded today by the failure of
additional supplies of lumber to ar
rive. The crevasse is widening very
slowly and is still not quite 200 feet.
Sixty plantations are already more or
less under water. Water has invaded
the town of Lucy, some distance away.
Traffic on the Texas & Pacific has been
interrupted, the tracks at some points
being submerged. Those in charge of
the work at the crevasse continue to
be optimistic as to the chances of
closing it. A rain storm during the
night was too brief to do any damage
to the work. The rest of the Louisiana
line continues to hold There is a
hard fight going on at Hope levee,
but il is hoped to hold it.

Mars in Opposition.

Washington, March 2S.-The most
notable astronomical event Of the year
is the opposition of Mars, which oc.
ours tonight. On April the distance
of Mars will be minimum, being then
$4,000 miles. The opposition is so
circumstanced, however, that astrono-
mers will have some favorable condi-
tions for studying Martian problems.
The northern polar cap will be visible,
and doubtless many observations will
be made of it by numerous observers.
The satellites of Mars, discovered by
Professor Hall at the Naval observa-
tory, probably will be beyond the
reach of that telescope in the present
position of the planet, but they may be
visible to the more powerful telescopes
of the Lick observatory. Many prob
lens are now studied by astronomers
with large telescopes, of which the
measurement of satellites is one.
Other lines of study relate to the dia-
meter of the planet by night and by
daylight, and drawings of the numer-
Gus markings noted upon the surface
of the sister planet.

HART'S MURDERER.
Closely Pressed by Officers Seen al
Lamy and GIorietd.
TRAINS BEING SEARCHED.

The murder of N c. Hart, night
agent and operator of the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway at Ger
rillos, is still at large. Although he
has not been apprehended he has been
heard from and his early capture is
expected.
Deputy Sheriff Charles G. Closson,
of Santa Fe, who went with Sheriff
II. c. Kinsell in response to the mes
sage received the night of the muir
der, has returned to the capital city
with the two bloodhounds that were
taken by the officers to track the MUIR
derer. They were unable to follow
trail, owing to the fact that different
parties had been in and out of the
depot after the shooting However,
the murdered man furnished a good
description of his assassin before pass
ing away and a man answering that
description was seen at Lamy juno
ton about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. A message was sent to Cerrillos
stating that a man answering the de-
scription of the assassin was at that
place and instructions were sent back
| to apprehend him, but he had disap-
peared in the intervening time.
A description of the hunted man
has been telegraphed to various points
and all passing trains are being
searched in an endeavor to capture
him and it is thought he will soon be
made a prisoner.
Some who were on the scene shortly
after the holdup and heard Hart's
story before he died, believe that there
were two men in the planned robbery,
as about 1895 o'clock Wednesday
night man entered the waiting room
and inquired for a passenger train. He
was Informed that they had all passed,
that there would be no train for about
two hours. He next inquired about
freight trains and then left the depot
About ten minutes later a masked
man entered, covering Hart with a re-
yolyer and demanding him to throw
up his hands and give him the money
In the safe. Hart replied he did not
have the combination. AS he put up
his hands and rose to his feet, the
outlaw fired, the ball entering Hart's
stomach on the right side, ranging
downward. 1t passed through his
body, struck the floor and glanced up
through the window, falling in the
waiting room. After shooting Hart the
man turned and fled without attempt
ing to rob his victim or the money
drawer, 1t is believed by some that
the one who entered first to inquire
about the trains was an accomplice of
the one who shot Hart.
According to the deathbed statement
Of Hart he was shot down in cold
blood with apparently no motive.
Some time after the disappearance
of the supposed murderer from Lamy,
man answering the description given
by Hart was seen at Glorieta. The as
sailant of the murdered man is being
closely pressed and it is thought will
soon have to answer for his cold
blooded crime.
