A force of men were employed at the time strengthening it, but when it broke they ceased work. The water that will pour through this break will find its way Into Beaver Dam, Yazoo Pass and White Oak Bayou, It is feared that portions of Tunica, Cachoma, Quitman and Sunflower counties 'will suffer, which, if the worst is realized, will cause scrious 10ss to farmrrs who have already planted crops. “The break was ten feet wide when the mes- sage was sent immediately after it happened, and nothing later can be ascertained to- night.

THE BATTLE O GETTYSBURG. The New Panorama on St. Mary's Avenu The beautiful panorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, in the new structure the corner of Seventeenth street and St. Mary's avenue, was placed on exhibition for the first time last night. Shortly be- fore 8 o'clock the people be; to flock in and when the lecturer, Captam How- ard, of Detroit, Mich., took his stand on the platform and commenced to *‘demon- strate,” the building was well filled. The various scenes of the historie con- flict are painted on a continuous roll of canvas, 300 feet in length and 36 feet high, which is stretehed about the build- ing, at a sufficient dist from the spectators’ platform to pr > the effect. The work is simply superb 1 its realism, and in the attention to details of coloring, ~ perspective, etc., which churacterizes it. KEvery feature of the battl ground—the soldiers. in the series of terri charges, the wounded and dying heroes, the surgeons tents, ambulances, cannon, cottages, and the forest-crested mountains in the d tance—all are placed on the canvas with such marvellous correctness that it it seems hard to realize that one is only looking upon a picture, and not upon the actual scene. })u one side is a wheat field through which the n blue are charging = the e one can almost — hear the rustle of the breezes through the golden stalks. On_another, is a group of cannon which have been un]im{n*rvd for ac- tion, and arc about to throw the shot and shell into the enemy's ranks, and onecan almost hear the awful roar whi forms an accompaniment to the shrieks and of the dying. On still another > are the surgeons at work upon the wounded, and the verfect coloring makes the obesrver shudder involuntarily as he gazes upon the gory tables on which the mangled victims are lying. In every part the picture is complete and faith- fully correct. Many who were compe- tent to express an opinion said last night that the panorama was the equal of any- thing of tl nd in America—not even being surpassed by the one in Chicago, which, though a trifle larger, is notso well proportioned. The work of painting required seven months and was done by three Belgian artists assisted by eight American: The circular building, in which the panorama 1s enclosed, is of wood, about fifty feet high aid forty in diamete The entrance fronts on St. Mary’ nue.

The mass meeting of the carpenters and joiners of On held in Cunning- ham hall last evening, was a largely at- tended and enthusiastic one. The meet- ing was called to order by Mr. J. R. ‘Worsham, president of the brotherhood of carpenters and joiners., He stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of ratifying the resolution ul- ready adopted by the Carpenters’ union, making nine hours a days work for five days the week, and eighit hours on Satur- day. He said the Carpenters’ union was determined to carry out this resolution, and « 1 the earnest aid and co-over- ation'of the carpente d joiners of the city who are not members of the union.

Second—The hour's leisnre will ] in uya desire to ¢ » oursclves. The shorter hours we get the more we will desire to associate with those who have shorter hours. more we elevate ourselves the nearer we will get to those who are elevated Third—It will give employment to those who are out of work, thus creating a demand for increased labor and conse- quently better wages, Fourth—It will pave the way for us w better things. Man is not an animal, a beast of burden alone, but is possessed of a noble reasoning power, born with u destiny beyond this world, The work- men want more gme, to develop their thinking capabilitles, '¢ Mr. Keeves then poadreports from dif- ferent parts of the gountry, showing that the nine-hour system is being very gen- erally adopted by the carpente The resolution "Adopting the system was read by the chyivman.

April 27.—[Special Telegram, | — WneAT—Two-thirds of the members of the board of trade had bearish dispatches from Now York to-day. Aftention was directed to the continued large receipts at the north- western centers of accumulation, and to the fact that sanguine bulls had been disap- pointed because the decrease of the invisible supply was not larger. But to add to the ap- prohiension these various matters inspired, the report was started that big bears were putting out prodigious short lines, The mar- ket conldn’t stand up against the pressure, and n decline of S from tho opening, and about 1o from yestorday's close, occurred, May seliing at 77%c and June at 79%c. A large trade in May is still passing, showing that considerable wheat is still unvlaced. The theory held by many is that the changing over going on is pi pally on account of small holders from the interior who are proverbially aadicted to the habit of putting off that formality until the Inst moment, and that wheat, atter the first of the month, will be very largely concen- trated in the hands of elevator men, who, by becoming carriers, hope to control the local stocks and keep the property here as long as possible.
