The case was to hav | been heard this morning, but owing to | the non-arrival of the plaintiff’s attorneys Judge Seawell continued the matter until 7:30 this evening.

The St. Francis levees gave way to-day at Randomshot and Shawnee | Village, Ark., the first about forty-two | miles from Memphis and the second | about thirty-five. Both crevasses are re- | ported to be serious, the one at Shawnee | being the worst. The two breaks proba- bly will slightly increase the water in the | territory of the Arkanrsas which was | | flooded by the break at Trices Landing and in addition they are flooding a vast ! scope of country which has thus far been | free from any large amount . The | situation, therefore, in Ar | be in a critical condition at many points | and news of disasters from that country | will not be surprising. At points the wa- | ter is sweeping through the embank- ments, flooding villages and plantations, nd at other places the embankment is | overtopped by the flood and enormous | quantities of water are being discharged the country | WAR DEPARTMENT ACTS. | The most encouraging feature to-night | | is the fact that the river has remained | stationary all day and a falling stage is reported from St. Louls, Calro and other | into | { | stage morning was 40.1 | of .1 in twelve hours. The stage has not changed during the day. It is hoped that the fall will begin m~; night or to-morrow. The two new breaks on the Arkansas shore are thought to be having a considerable influence on the stage, as the water being discharged | through them and the first crevasse could | hold the river in check here. For this | | reason the standing stage is not received | with the satisfaction that it would other- R Refugees are continuing to arvive in great numbers and the facilities are too { limited to care for them. In response to a telegram asking for aid from - Mayor Williams of this city Secretary of War Root has answered that he will supply all needed tents as well as provisions or the flood sufferers. These tents wil! be pitched on vacant lots and commis- saries will be established, so that all the destitute may be cared for. The prompt action of the Secretary and of the Cab- | inet has given the greatest satisfaction | | to the people of the city. | | REPORTS ARE EXAGGERATED. | | From the protected sections ablebodied negro men and their entire families are | coming to the city in large numbers os- | tensibly as flood refugees, but their real | purpose seems to be to escape work and | be cared for by the city and charitable | organizations. This is not only incre ing the city’s burden, but is working | great hardship upon the planters, as they | cannot secure the laborers so badly need- | ed at present. | The railroad situation west of Memphis shows no improvement and to-night traf- fic is still completely suspended. | Developments to-day tend to show that | the reports from Marion, Ark., last night | were somewhat exaggerated. The levee was not dynamited to-day and no relief boat has been sent to Marion. . President Killough of the St. Francis Levee Board to-night stated that a train was sent to Marfon yesterday by the Frisco Rallroad with General Superintendent of the rallroad company to carry people from Marion free of charge was accepted | by only three persons. Killoughk said | further that the levee board was operat- ing a fleet of twelve skiffs between Mound City and Marlon and transporting pas- sengers free of charge.

EKEINE DECIDES TO FIGHT THE CITY OF NEW YORK Refuses to Pay Personal Property Taxes, Claiming That He Is a Non-Resident. YORK, March 20.—James R. Keene and the city of New York are en- aged in an interesting legal battle, which may have far-reaching effects question of the payment of personal taxes. IKeene Is to be the first man ex- amined under the new method of supple- mentary proceedings. He is to be sum- moned to court and examined in detail as to his property. The corporation counsel contends that Keene owes the city $1737 for personal taxes for 1%1. Keene has informed the corporation counsel that he will not pay this tax because in that year he was a resident of Hempstead, Nassau County. As soon as the lawyers of the depart ment for collection of arrears on personal property heard of Keene's defiance they served notice that it he did not pay the city would compel him to be examined in the head of this branch of the tax depa ment, announcing that Keene would figh- out in the courts the payment of the taxes. - SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THE SECRETARY OF WAR Decides That It Has No Jurisdiction to Interfere With the Judgment Vested in Him.

CARSON Nev., March 2.—Governor Sparks has signed the Hardin general in- corporation bill. This bill passed the last session of the Nevada Legislature after a hard fight i the Assembly. The bill is framed on the same lines as that of New Jersey, embracing the merger clause and other salient features. The fact that a branch of the United States court is vated in this city gives Incorporations a great advantage. The main change from the New Jersey law is in the fees, which have been trimmed down considerably in order to make incorporations an induce- ment to file in this State.
