TORRAS BREAK
IS WORST OF
FLOOD HISTORY
Rich aud Densely Populated Coun.

Torras, La, May 1.-The West
Side main leyee of the Mississippi
river, near here, broke tonight. The
creyice probably will be the worst III
the flood history of the lower Missis-
sippi Flood water, the highest on
record is rushing over parts of thick
ly settled parishes.
The territory, which lies in the
path of the Torras creviee is vastly
richer, and more densely populated.
than the several million acres al
ready inundated. While the Torras
break will give some relief from the
enormous pressure against the
levees, south of that point, the food
waters tonight are from half foot
to two feet above the previous rec
ord and prospects of other breaks
are extremely grave.
Reports today from northeast
Louisiana added several thousand to
the homeless list. Several hundred
more in West Feliciana parish. are
reported in need of supplies and,
from the Athaf1aya territory, reports
are received of still other hundreds,
who have been driven from tAeir
homes.
1t is estimated that the United
States government now is furnishing
rations for 1870, 900 homeless in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana and prospects
tonight are that this number will be
increased by $4,000 within another
week.

OFFICERS REFUSE TO
TELL WHY BUF0RD
DELAYS HER TRIP.

San Diego, Calf, May 1---Inac-
tivity, which the officers of the ship
refuse to explain, prevailed today,
on the United States army transport
Buford. The vessel was expected to
sail south this morning. 1t is known
that no word has been received, by
the officers, from Clark Guyant, of
the consular service who was ex-
pected TO join the Buford.
The absence of Guyant is not un-
derstood here. One federal official
has telegram addressed to the con-
sular agent but no one appeared tc
claim it. Strict secrecy, regarding
the mission of the Buford, is main
tanned by the officers, and the mer
of the crew are not permitted ashore,

FOUR ARMY OFFICERS
DETAILED TO SEE TO
REPAIRS ON LEVEES

Washington, May -Four more
army officers today were dispatched
to superintend repair work along
the Mississippi leyees. Two go from
indianapolis to Vicksburg, one goes
from Fort Ogiethorpe, La, to the
same place, another goes from Leav-
enworth, Kan, to Monroe, La, The
possibility that the new food, now
rising, will draw heavily on the
army's rations, has caused Secre-
tary Stimson to caution officers In
charge of relief work, to refuse army
aid to any who are in a position to
supply themselves.

MYSTERY OVER

Believe Nan 1rampsd from

Although two days have elapsed
since 1t was reported an unknown
man committed suicide by Jumping
overheard at Donovan's dack, pro-
found mystery continues to surround
the case. The police of this city and
Matawan have been unable to learn
Of the alleged suicides identity. In
vestigations were made yesterday,
but nothing further than was re-
ported Sunday afternoon could be
learned. No body has been recovered
at yet.
1t is believed by A. Kunath, pro-
prietor Of the Aberdeen Inn, at Mat.
avian, that the alleged suicide was
a stranger who tramped from one
place to another. Red tickets bear
ing "a. Kunath, Aberdeen Inn"
found in his overcoat pocket, now at
police headquarters, were probably
handed to him when he CHANGED to
stop at the inn On Saturday, Mr..
Kunath believes. The tickets were
some used in a contest among Mata-
wan fire companies for a silver loving
cup offered by Mr.. Kunath. They
were first issued Friday.
Coroner James j. Flynn has taken
cognizance of the case and plans to
conduct an investigation.

/ Twin deer were born at the Hip
podrome early Monday morning.
Ever since the event DR.. Potter has
been kept busy preventing the Gu
rious from getting a peep at the
mother and little ones, which are do
ing well-thank you.
The Scotch red deer used in the
great Scotch scene in the big Hippo
drome spectacle, Under Many
Flage," were imported last summer
from the Highlands OF Scotland near
Holy Rood palace within the environ
of Edinburgh. There are sixteen In
the herd and ever since they became
a part OF our great life they have
been cared for with the most exacting
attention. All who see them skip
across the Hippodrome stage, as the
sun Is rising and clearing the azure
haze of the picturesque Scottish
scene, are amazed and delighted
with the dainty in which
these tiny innocent eyed creatures
gaze out upon the audience.
The twins weighed a wee bit over
nine pounds each and are spotted red
and white similar to the Fallow deer
Of America. When they mature DR..
Potter says they obtain their natural
color much as those now appearing
in the Scotch scene at the Hippo
drome.
For nearly a month the mother has
been fed IN warm bran mashes, car
rots, cabbage, turnips and apples.
There seems to be no timely rec
ords to the contrary in the statement
made by DR.. Potter that these are
the finest twin deer born in captiv-
ity in a building Of any kind. New

having a pair Of the daintiest, bright
eyed, docile creatures of this earth

Greenberg refused to pay him a debt

F~ingerote arrested for hitting him in
