New York, March 28.—Sergeant Dunn of the signal service, in an in- terview, this afternoon, says that one of the greatest calamities the country has ever known is imminent, and that it is the duty of the press to warn the people of the lower Mississippi to prepare for the worst. He says: “It will be the greatest calamity | that has ever befallen that section of the country. The damage will be the greatest below Memphis. The storm is just like an enormous pitch- er of water poured upon a country already flooded. Although several immense crevasses have been formed in the levees below Vicksburg from 200 to 1,500 feet wide and twenty to twenty-five feet deep, carrying off millions of gallons of water every second, the height of the river at Vicksburg and Cairo has remained almost stationary at the top of the flood limit. This shows that the channel of the river below is all choked up with alluvium and debris from the first flood, and that this is acting as a dam which will eventually work havoc with all the levees. When the wave crest comes down the river things are bound to be | carried away and the entire sur- rounding country covered. This will probably arrive at Cairo in two or three days, but 1t will be three weeks before it reaches New leans. New Orleans will be visited with- out doubt by one of the most disas- trous floods ever known, and Iwould not give five cents for my life in that city when the wave crests strike it.

SHIRLEY IN JAIL- | Result of Collecting Contributions for | Flood Sufferers. | Wichita, Kas., March 30.—Late last night Tom Shirley was put in jail at Springfield, Stevens county, because he was unable to pay costs ina rather interesting case which ended yesterday. Shirley had trav- eled in allthe counties in the east half of Kansas and also in some counties in eastern Missouri, seeking aid for the Stevens county sufferers. His work has resulted in over 60 car-loads of provisions, clothing and fuel being sent to the county, and on Friday evening he returned home from a trip after supplies and found that seme of the leading citizens of Springfield had caused four car-loads of his supplies to be distributed. This cansed him to become very an - gry and he caused warrants to be 1s- sued for L. Bowman, George Kirby, R. Zollman, T. H. Zever, O. T. Barns, E. A. Wetzel and B. F. Aspey, charging them with stealipg his supplies. The case was tried yesterday, and over fifty witnesses were produced. It was established that those whose nameshad jappeared in the indict- ments had gotten the provisions, but the court ruled that ‘they had as much right to them as Shirley, and hence the the case was decided against him{with costs of $428. He was unable to pay and is in jail. It is claimed Shirley has sold over 20 car-loads of stuff sent to the county and that a charge of securing val- uables under false pretenses will be Department.
