TH FLOODED DISTaUCTS. Thtrta Crevaaaesi en tk liewar MIs- alaalppt-A tMtw Kxtaat of Cena- try UftAar Water. A special te Uia New Ortaaaa Daily State fresa Bay ett Sara, I, says ! The relief steamer Dacetes rtachfd tks Bayou Sara landing Wsdnasday VMing. She baa mad a trip te Petate Coupee, and baa come back te Bayou Sara. He arrival waaa Oed-aead te Uia pMpla whose Uvea an In Jeopardy, for aba baa net only already saved an lacalculable amount of property, but a goodly number of Urea. The real condition of things In tha over flowed districts la last coming te light Ne pen Is equal te tee task of picturing tha devastation of the country or tha desola tion of tha people. Tha entire front of Point Coupee la under water. Meat of the leveea have gene. Tha water back of tha levees Is ae deep new that hundreds of Uvea are In Jeopardy. Tha small stretches of levees still standing are crowded with men, women and children aide by aide with horses, mules and sews. In an old raised gin house 800 negrees were found huddled together. Their condition waa pitiable. They were afraid of their Urea, and were plteeusly begging te be taken te some place of aalety. The crevasse at Allendale will overflow 30 of the finest plantations en the river. It will reach the Teche country several daya In advance of the Merganaa water, and Colonel Revers says when this water Joins with the Mergansa It will flood the entire Atchafalaya, Lafourche and Teche coun tries. The damage la Incalculable. The distress In the overflowed district cannot be told. The Texas and Pacific beat G. B. Wbeeloek succeeded en Wednesday In saving 200 people from the back country around Morgans. Ruin and devastation are en every side. In Coupee Parish the destruction is com plete, net a plantation is left abeve the water, net a levee unbroken, while hun dreds of families are homeless. Thousands of stock have been drowned and from meagre reports received from the Interior it Is quite probable human life has been sacrificed te the flood. Standing en the deck of the relief steamer Dacotah, as she passed down within fifty yards or the flooded district last evening, the full extent of the disaster could be seen. Oreuplng together In little knells between tbe broken levees, through which the water rushed with ungevernable fury, were scores of people, both white and black, some with babies In their arms, while ethers hed dogs secured by a cord. Many of them had nothing In the world except the clothes they were en tbelr backs. Whenever tbe Dacotah dlscovers a scene like this the stage was swung out and the stricken ones taken abess-d. Kqualty a sad scene .was the peer dumb cattle standing In the water, actually starv ing. Many of thorn had net tasted feed In dayp. Their gaunt forms contrasted straugely with their surroundings. The DuoeUli was unable te handle caltle yeslerday, but te-day her boiler deck Is a first-class stock pen. A family named Burke, who resided several miles above Bayou Sara, was ros res cued this morning. There were 'i5 persons in the family. Monday morning they were prosperous, being the owners of a large plantation, a well equipped atereand ever 100 head of stock. Te-day nothing remains abeve water but the eaves of their residences. A crevasse 00 feet wide broke directly In front of the house at neon en Monday, and the family had a lively time te reach the levee before 0 feet of water covered the place The crevasse Is new 400 feet wide. There are hundreds of such tales te be told. The Dacotah isa busy beat te-day. After discharging ber lumber and ether material at a rand Bay she proceeded directly te Old river and rescued 200 bead of cattle that had been swamped for four days. Coming down the stock and peeple were picked up every whero, and when the Dacotah reached Bayou Sara she bad 1,000 head of cattle and nearly 500 people en beard. They were landed, and she immediately started en another voyage. The Dacotah Is doing oxcellent work, and net only Is she blessed en every side, but the corporation that sends her as well. Majer Martin Olynn, the president of the pelice Jury, accompanies the beat en her errand of mercy. Referring te their clferts te held the levee, he said It was a hard fight, but tliey had lest. He cannot estimate the damage, but says that thlrteen pansnes win Deoveruowea, Muocrevasses new number thirteen. At Grand Bay last night men were busily engaged In an effort te held Palen dyke, an Immense earthwork, that protects ten large filantatiens In lower Polnte Coupee from he flood. It rained all day yesterday and last night, but the river Is falling. The worst has come in Points Coupee, and the peeple are resigned. It was a bitter fight tt!f round, but the river get tbe best of It, Majer Olynn last night received a check for $500 from the police jury efTerre Benne parish for the benefit of the sufferers. United States Engineer Douglass tele graphs that Point Pleasant levee, Tenas parish, gave way Thursday morning. Point Pleasant is 23 miles below Vlcksburg, and the levee there is one of the most important en tbe Teusas front. LANCASTER COMMANDEItY. The ontcers Wbe Were Installed at Last Evening's Meeting.

He considers the days of the creation te be neither solar nor geological, but simply convenient historic divisions without any occult meaning.
