Preparing For Flood Refugees.

Capt. F. H. Lomax, of the United
States Army, arrived here Wednes-
day morning and Immediately insti-
tuted arrangements to establish a
flood relief station at this point.
Refugees from the interior sections
Of Assumption and Lafourche par
ishes, whose lands are being mum
dated by water from the Torras Gre
vase, will be brought to this city
and subsequently transferred to Ba-
ton Rouge and other points above
the reach OF the flood. Persons liV-
ing in the path of the water pour
ing through the break in the leyee
at Hymelia will also be brought 20
Donaldsonville as fast as rescued.
This city will be used only as a CEN
trailing point, since it is itself sub
ject to <oyerfloW, and is therefore
rot desirable as a permanent stop
ping place for flood victims. Steam
crs under charter by the federal gov
eminent will arrive here daily to con-
vey the refugees to Baton Rouge or
other concentration points. The To-
cal authorities will cooperate with the
United States officials to the extent
of furnishing sleeping quarters for
the refugees should it be necessary
to keep any large number of them in
this city overnight
Capt. Lomax expresses the opinion
that the flood waters from the Hyme-
liza crevasse will inundate a much
greater territory than is now estl-
mated, and he is making prepara-
tons to handle a large number OF
refugees. He has established his
headquarters in the Hotel Donaldson.
Various planters of this vicinity
have communicated with Capt. Lon1ax
and notified him that they are in a
position to offer work to any NUM-
Der of refugees. The cane crop is
badly in need of cultivation, and the
planters will be glad to give employ
nent to as many field hands as they
can secure. Labor is also required
to build protection leVees on various
plantations, and as many colored men
as are brought to town can be utll-
i5ed in this work.

Cancienne Canal Damned.

The injunction issued by Judge
Paul Leche to restrain Messrs. c..
G. Barton, Leo Cancienne and S. M.
Ialhoit from constructing a dam in
the Cancienne Canal at a point three
miles from Bayou Lafourche was
tried in the district court at Napo-
teonyille Tuesday After a hearing,
Judge Leche dissolved the injunc-
ton, and Attorney Philip Gilbert, rep
reseuting the parties who object to
the damming Of the canal, promptly
TOOK steps TO secure another restrain
ing order on a different plea. In
the meantime, v. Nlaurin, Of Donald
sonTille, who had been summoned to
appear at the hearing, issued an or
der in his capacity as president of
the Lafourche Basin Levee Board,
authorizing Messrs. Barton, Can
8ienne and Malhiot to proceed with
lie damming Of the canal. Judge
Isache recognized Mn. Maurin's right
TO give such an order, and refused
20 grant the Injunction prayed for
by Mr.. Gilbert, Whereupon the latter
announced that he would take the
matter up with Gov Sanders over
the lolg-distance- telephone and en-
tleavor to have Mr.. Maurin's action
rescinded This action, il taken, was
without apparent effect, since the
damming Of the canal has been COM
pleted in accordance with Mr.. Maui
rims order and Judge Leche's ruling,
The hearing was attended by a
II large number Of interested parties,
including a number OF people resld-
ing in the lower Lafourche section,
and the arguments pro and con as
10 the closing of the canal were very
heated Judge Lecha, President Maui
rim and attorneys. representing both
sides, with a big crowd of spectators,
visited the site Of the proposed dam
in automobiles.

Harrington Park. n j.. April H.
Two persons were killed ANA more
than score injured. several SER
iously when the collapse of the floor
of the Church of our Lady Victory
precipitated nearly 500 persons into
the basement today.
The church was only partly com

day was in connection with the ccrc-
monies of laying the corner stone.
The collapse of the floor came
while an address was being delivered
by Father IRlanty, suddenly the
floor was heard to creak and then it
went down with II crash. Men.
women and children were caught and
many were badly crushed. Nicholas
Ottingen and Mrs. +. NJ. Olhern were
injured SO badly that they died with
