Dancer at N atchez.

The people of Natchez are fearful
of a calamity which. while it will not
be of the nature of the San Francisco
calamity, will be of a serious nature
20 that thriving city. At present there
is danger of a strip Of land a half
mile long and four blocks deep on the
river front sliding into the stream.
This territory includes large part Of
the manufacturing and wholesale dis
trict of Vicksburg. In the event of this
calamity happening there is no tell
ing what the loss would he. The citi-

THERE'S A WAY OUT
OF THE UNPLEASANT SITUATION
BETWEEN CONTRACTOR CAD.
BOTS AND CITIZENS.
Can Buy Lot For S6oo-The Contractor
and Dr.. Dickerson Tell Their
Sides of the Story--Latter
viii Not Push In"

There was little change yesterday
in the situation with respect 10 the
proposed dwelling on Twenty-second
street. for which permit was granted
by the city council this week to t. S.
A. Gadbois, the contractor Mr.. Cad.
bois called at The Bulletin office, as
did also Dr. Dickerson, and made
statements of their sides of the case.
The former denied that he tried to de-
ceive any one In the matter. He said
he did not buy the lot for DR.. Dicker-
son but thar the latter bought II MIN
self and he had right to assume that
If people sold him the lot they would
not object TO have him build upon it
and to live in the house. Il am in the
business of building houses and SELL
ing them,' he said, and | had a con.
tract to build a house for DR.. Dick
erson before he had bought lot for
it, One of the conditions of my con
tract is that | must get the permission
of the council 10 build the house
When | went around securing signers
to the petition for the house no one
asked me for whom | wished to build
the house and | didn't suppose that
any one would care or object. | have
a bond for deed TO the lot to secure
me for my work in building the house,
but the lot belongs to DR.. Dickerson.
As to the people who object to Dr..
Dickerson as a neighbor having no re
course that is all a mistake They
have a recourse They can buy the lot
for $500 The lot itself is not worth
that but Dr. DickersOn feels that the
price of the lot and the injury done
him in Directing 10 his building is
worth that much ! am sorry | have
gotten into the matter since it has
turned out this way, and | would be
glad to get out of it; but | must carry
out my contract unless the matter is
settled some other way Dr. DickersOn
IS out about $500 in different ways
and they can buy the lot for that
price"
