Water Pouring Through Gre

BREAKS ARE WIDENING
WIDE AREAS SUBMERGED IN MIS-

Heavy Loss Of Live Stock, but No
People Have Yet Been
Drowned.

GREENVILLE, Miss, March 2o.-Tne
water continues to pour through the
crevasse at La Grange, five miles south OF
this city. at fearful rate. and the sur
rounding country for miles is covered by
two to five feet Of water. The break had
widened over night and Is now about 400
yards wide.
The greatest excitement prevailed here
last night, and reports Of loss OF life were
received from the Tuxedo and race track
additions, bu this morning no confirmation
of these rumors are at hand, and 1t Is be-
lieved that all persons living in these To-
calities had sufficient warning to escape
The loss to live stock. however, will be
heavy, as hundreds of horses, mules, cows
and hogs were swept away.
Part of the City Submerged.
This morning the water submerged the
entire southern part of the city. Protec-
ton levees are being built tn the middle OF
Washington street, and a large force OF
convicts and volunteers have the work IN
hand. The business portion of the town
has so far escaped the encroachment of
the flood, but the water Is rising rapidly
and the worst is feared. Last night the
two electric light plants, located IN the
southern part Of the city, were submerged.
and before daylight the city was left In
and will add to the danger the next few
days.
The water from the crevasse will overflow
the greater part of Washington and
Sharkey counties and will entirely SUBJ
merge Isaquenna county and small portions
Of Yazoo and Warren.
The Crevasse at Hymelia.
NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-News from
Hymelia, where a crevasse opened yester-
day, continues to be favorable. although
the work Of cribbing was somewhat re-
tarded today by the failure of additional
supplies of lumber to arrive.
The crevasse is widening very slowly. and
Is still not quite 200 feet Six to eight
plantations are already more or less under
water. Traffic on the Texas and Pacific
has been interrupted, the tracks at some
points being submerged.
The rest Of the Louisiana line continues
to hold.
The belief that the Hymeiia levee was cut
in order to relieve the other sections Is
strong. It has resulted in increased v'gt-
lance along the levees in both the La
Fourche and Pontchartrain districts and
any attempt to repeat the action at Hymeha
is likely to be followed by bloodshed If the
perpetrators are caught.

The Attendance at Benning
This Afternoon.
GRAND STAND PACKED
NEW FIGURE FOR THE WASHING
TON JOCKEY CLUB.
Society Out in Force to Witness the
Chevy Chase Steeplechase-
Track Dry and Fast.

Although the first race did not start until
O'Clock, as early as ] o'clock, when the
first street car ran through to Benning, the
crowd began pouring through the gates.
The splendid weather and attractive card
brought out holiday crowd and Secretary
Daingerfield admitted that it was the larg-
est Saturday attendance in the history OF
the Washington Jockey Club.
The big grand stand was crowded in
every part, so much so that when the bet
ting people made their usual rush for up
stairs Just before the. races they found 1t
impossible to mount the stairs, and had to
take their stand in the open.
The special trains from Baltimore were
packed. and when this crowd was emptied
into the Enclosure 1t resembled an over
flowed dam.
The Chevy Chase Steep]echase.
The Chevy Chase steeplechase drew many
ladies. The varied colors displayed in new
spring gowns and hats of the grand stand
presented a beautiful sight. Up at the
club house another attractive picture was
presented. society being out in all its
glory. The Chevy Chase event is distinctly
a local affair so far as the participants are
concerned
The conditions are framed for hunters
which have been hunting with hounds the
past winter in this vicinity and the horses
are ridden by gentlemen approved by the
master of hounds and the stewards of the
meeting 1t is an amateur event The
Washington Jockey Club has hung up three
prizes, the first magnificent bowl valued
at 500; the owner of the second horse gets
cup valued at 800, while still smaller
cup alued al $50 goes to the third.
To obtain one of these prizes is the am
billion of every rider belonging to the Chevy
Chase Club. Last year the steeplechase was
the event of the meeting and furnished food
for gossip many weeks after the ponies had
departed. Seven Horses started then and
there were fourteen fails The winner was
down twice and then his rider tried to argue
with the judges that they were wrong in
their placing of the horses, and that his
mount finished second.

The Whitehorse artesian basin,
containing perhaps 80 square miles
Of good land, lies east Of Stein
Mountain. The apparent shape Of
the rocks beneath the valley and
the presence Of warm springs seem to
warrant careful test of the artesian
conditions Of the valley with q rea.
sonsble expectation Of obtaining
flowing water.
Professor Russell insists that all
wells drilled should be cssed with
iron casing and that the records Of
all wells drilled in these artesisn
basins should be carefully preserved,
and suggests that, in every state in
which artesisn basins occur, laws
should be enacted prescri bing that
every drill hole in an srtesian basin
should be properly cased, that every
artesian we'll when not In use should
be securely closed, that every sband.
oned drill hole In an artesisn basin
should be completely filled with i'm
pervious material, and that the obser-
vance Of these laws should be rigor-
ously enforced.
