New Break In Mississippi.

NATcHEz April 26.-Flood waters of
the Mississippi were rushing tonight
through a crevasse which was torn out
at p. M. to-day In Concordia Parish,
four miles north of Ferriday. La, at the
Wecama levee. The gap In the levee
line was reported to be twenty feet wide
and rapidly increasing. No hope was
held of stopping the break as the levee
is OF sandy formation and crumbling
rapidly.
The break occurred at an unexpected
point and very few men were on duty in
that section. For a while there had
been some topping OF the embankment
there but 1t was said there were no
signs OF weakness.
The flood will inundate all Concordia
Parish, a large part of Tensas, a part of
Catahoula and possibly a part Of
Franklin and Avoyelles parishes.
The section behind the break is one
of the richest farming sections OF
Louisiana and is largely devoted to cot
ton planting. In the immediate path OF
the flood are the towns of Ferriday.
Junks, Clayton, Vidalia, Wildsville and
Frogrnore. Vidalia is town OF about
1000 population, Ferriday 500 and the
Others are small villages.
