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

Oladstone en Genesis.
In hissocend published article defending
the Bible against recent assaults Mr. Glad
stone contends that the opening of the Boek
of Genesis constitutes a plain and straight
forward narrative of the pro-Adamlte
peried. He maintains that it is nclther
poetic nor scloutttle in meaning, nor can
It be considered se In Interpretation; but
it was, he says, a direct communication
from Ged te teach prlmitlve man his
proper place In creation and te give him a
conception In bread outline as te what his
Maker had been about In his behalf.
He considers the days of the creation te
be neither solar nor geological, but simply
convenient historic divisions without any
occult meaning. Only In respect te the
creation of light does Mr. Gladstone do de
scend te rigid nclentltlc criticism.

some terrlble result Henry 111 tutor is a
married man, who llves in tue Sixth ward.
Ills wife Is Kate Rineer, whose name has
appeared In the columns of the newspapers
several times this week and before.
Tbe ceuple have net lived togelher for
some years and they have had several law
suits. The husband claims that It was
utterly Impossible for him te tlve with bis
wife, as she neglected the family and gave
hint a great deal of trouble The wife
alleges that Rineer Is tee Intimate with
Mrs. Emma Rutt, a widow, who lives en
Mulberry street. He frcquents her liouse,
but claims that be only gees thore because
Mrs. Rutt docs his washing. Thore Is a
dlfforence of opinion between people who
knew both man and wlfe. aud each Is
blamed for the trouble. Mrs. Rutt and
Mrs. Rineer have had conslderaUo diffi
culty, and at the present time they have
cress actions against each ethor pending be be be
fere dllforent alderman.
Last evening Rineer was at Mrs. Rntt's
liouse, where no claims te have gene te
procure seme bread for his children. His
wlfe found that he was thore and she went
te the house about nlne o'clock. She rapped
at the front deer and when it was openod
she quickly ran In a side alley and entered
the house from the rear. She found her
husband thore and when she came In con
tact with him she made a motion as though
she wanted te threw something, which
she had In a paper and which
the husband says was pepper, Inte
his face. She missed the mark and
then attempted te strlke the man
with a bundle of switches, which she
had tied closely together, and carried In
her hand. A tussle onsued ami tlie wlfe
says that ber husband beat and kicked her.
She then left the liouse but returned. Her
husband and ethors caught and held her
until Olllcer Brown arrived and took her
into custody. He accompanied her te ber
home en North Prince street se that she
could fix herself up a little. Whlle lu the
heuse the woman quickly threw a white
powder Inte a tumbler of water. She was
about drinking It when the offieor took It
from her. She said : " That waa lucky,
fur that was poison." The officer then leek
the woman te the station house. In the
meantime complaint had been made
against ber before Alderman Delict, and a
warrant was given te Censtable Pyle, At
the station house the woman scorned te be

allowed te go home In charge of Offi

HERMANN. THE MAGICIAN.
A Wonderful Performance Olvnn by Him
In Fulton Opera Heuse.
A heuse that was " geed," In overy sense
of the term, greeted Hermann, the magi
cian and prestldlgltateur. at Fulton hall
last evening. Frem the beginning or his
tricks until the curtain rolled down en bis
burlesqiie en spiritual manifestations, he
evoked round after round of applause with,
his dexterity, cleverness and admirable
f;oed taste and geed humor. In the open epen
ng act he did seme marvelleus feata with
rings, watches and handkerchiefs, show
ing only the best of the slelgbt-eMiand art.
i no way no maue tilings appear aim dis
appear, and the mysterious inanner In
which be took llve rabbits out or hats bor
rowed from the audience, living pigeons
out or an omelette cooked from eggs that
he took out of the mouth or an Innocent
vmitifr man In the audience, mid ft ritisck-
lng duck from a roll of paper that
he drew out or a ball all called
out shouts or laughter and applause.
The movements or a girl who steed,
walked, marched, lumped the repe, somor semor somer
saultod and danced lu mid air, and tbe
manifestations or the black art, cutting off
olive woman's head and replaclng It, the
shadewed appearances or goblets snd ether
articles and tlielr sudden disappearance
into darkness were nil very cleverly
managed. Probably the most tuklng event
ortheovonlng was the demolition el Dr.
Natherst's stoveplo hat, tlie firing or the
fragments from a mortar and the sudden
appearance of the tlie intact en the painted
head of Bcothevon en the ceiling of the
opera liouse, whence Hermann brought it
safely down with a pistol shot.
Tue finale was an exhibition or spiritual
ism humbug, waving guitars and unearthly
music with an oxpesuro or the whole thing
when the lights were turned ou. After
two hours and a half a delightful company
of spectators was convinced that Hermann
was matter of his art,
