that reached the village. arrived early
this morning with five thousand sacks
to be used in damming the water. but
labor cannot be secured to unload the
train.
The tracks of the Iron Mountain and
Choctaw railroads are still open and
no trouble has been experienced. The
Frisco is running it's trains over the
tracks Of the former system.
There seems every indication that all
predictions of the stage at this point
will be surpassed, as the river is again
rising slowly tonight. 1t was hoped
that the crest of the rise was sufficient
ly close to Memphis last night for the
break in the levee at Trice's landing to
give relief and cause a fall here. A fall
did follow the break, but this was
checked today and tonight the guage
is 39.6 feet, or within one-tenth of the
maximum thus far reported. 1t is
feared that the stage tonight will pass
forty feet and the end will probably not
then be reached
The weak points in the levee which
were reported last night other than at
the break are still in a critical condi-
ton and frequently breaks may occur
Forces of men are working night and
day at these points and the situa ton
has resolved itself into a race between
the workers and the water.
A few floating bodies have been dis
covered by the rescuing board, but the
number has not yet been alarming. An
estimate of the loss of life from the
flood can never be made as the sec
tions flooded are so vast in area and
population SO widely disposed that moth
ing like a census can be made.
In this city the situation is growing
worse each hour and the water is
spreading to sections other than those
which were flooded yesterday Altos
gether the situation tonight is most dis
couraging and with the water continu-
ing to rise. no relief can yet be hoped
for.

TWO RECEIVERS
Appointed for the Windtam County
Bank at Danieison, CT.

Hartford. Conn, Dec 23-Federal in
reference in the matter of the receiver
ship Of the Windham County National
Bank of DanieisOn set aWry the ar
rangenent of the superior count, made
through Judge eager, yesterday, in
this city on the petition of Mrs. Ella S.
Russell. widow of Congressman Rus
sell. AS a result of this petition Of Il
stakeholder of the bank. Joseph p. Tut
tie OF Hartford, was appointed Tempo
rary receiver under bond of $4,000.
When Mr.. futile went to Danielson to
assume control of the banks affairs
and presented himself at that institu-
ton, today, he found United States
Bank Examiner Edwin A. Barrows of
Providence, there. Mr.. BarroWS had
already assumed control of the banks
affairs as representative of Ellis s.
Pepper, who was appointed receiverI
of the bank by the comptroller of the
currency at WASHINGTON. Mr.. futile
thereupOn returned to Hartford. He
said he would not enter protest, az he
was satisfied that the federal officer
Was in lawful authority but he made Il
formal demand upon Mr.. Barrows to
turn over the banks affairs. This de-
nIand was refused.
In an interview Mr.. Tuttle said that
had he reached the bank first, he
would likewise have declined to vacate
for Mr. Pepper or his representative. 1t
was a question OF which receiver
would get there first, and the federal
representative won out.
Attorney Edward d. Robbins. who
represented Mrs. Russell in the court
proceedings yesterday, said, today, in
relation to the action of the comptroller
Of the currency that it was immaterial
to him which receiver took control. He
was of the opinion that whichever re-
ceiver got to the bank first would be
recognized. He added that there was
legal ground for action taken in the SUI
perior court, a stakeholder having
made application for a receiver.

BROKE JUST RIGHT.
Axle of Express Car Snaps as Pullman
II Pulls In.

The holiday business was so heavy.
Wednesday morning, that Passenger
No. II, the Pullman due here at 1.35,
was run in two sections, the baggage,
express and mail cars being assigned
to the first. This section narrowly es-
capped a serious accident while pulling
into the station. An axle on an express
car which was third back from the en-
CINE broke near the Front street cross
ing. The switch about half way to the
lower College avenue crossing was de-
molished and some of the sleepers
chewed up. but the total damage was
not very serious.
The contents of the car had to be
transferred to another one, which de-
layed the train quite a bit. The Front
street crossing is but a short distance
from the bridge and had the axle
broken there the train might have been
piled into the river. Or if it had broken
out on the road where the speed was
greater the train might have been
ditched. But the train had slowed up
a good deal when it did break. so that
the results We're comparatively small.

present is by all odds the Maine Cen
trail station while a passenger train is
in. Special express cars are being
hauled on most of them and all the
available trucks are usually piled high
with all sorts of packages at every
train. Extra men are being en-
ployed by the American Express
on the trains and at the sta

long for the loading. All the availa
BILE room in the baggage car is usually
taken by the express men and the
trains are held until the last minute
but even then there is usually some
stuff left behind for the next one.

To Fence In His Sheep Range.

Mr.. John Clemans of the Wenas, is
enclosing his large sheep range at the
head of the Wenas with a substantial
post board and wire fence Mr.. c.
realizes that the age of promiscuous
grazing is past, that stockmen must pro-
vide for their own herds. He is now
fencing in the ranges he has heretofore
bought from the railroad companies OF
the state and wherever possible proposes
to seed them down with Russian bronze
and other grasses and thus be able to
take care of his own stock. Men like
Mr.. Clemans who buy, improve, pay
taxes on their own ranges, deserve every
protection possible. Such farmers truly
develop the country. 1t is the preda-
tory, transient sheep men who run their
flocks over the country without owning
