THIS SHOULD SETTLE IT. A special of the 15th, from Vicks burg to the New Orleans Picayune avys that Mr. Howard Cole. secre tary of the proposedl New Orleans, Natchez and Arkansas Railway, is just in receipt of the following im portant letter from Mr. George J. Gould: New York, April 10, 1901.--To Howard Cole, E-q., Vicksburg, Mi-s.: Mv l)ear Sir-Yon letter of April 6 received. I am much (,blige to you for your offer of co operation with us and rendering us assistance in the line which we are constructing through Louisiana and Arkansas. between Arkansas City and Vidalia. Mr. L. S. Thorne, first vice president of the Texas and Pacific, has charge of the construc tion from Vidalia south, and Mr. Russell Harding, third vice presi dent of the Missouri Pacific, of the line from Vidalia north; and I would suggest that you correspond with them direct, or see them personally. I note you state that you will not build your line if I intend to buili mine. Much oblige to you for adl vising me of your position. Our intention is now to build this lineI through as rapidly as possible. It. will make a fine through line from St. Louis and Kansas City to New Orleans. Very truly yours, GEORGE J. GOULD. RIVER NEWs. The river is now falling as for south as Memphis. At Ilelona it i rising .3-tenths and Arkansas city .4-tenths. It is falling at St. .Louis. The river continues to rise at this l point about .3 tenths every 21 hi.,urs. The gauge read last Friday, April 12Ih, 30.00oo; esterday imorning it real 32.55, a rise of 2.55 for the week. TThe gauge read April 12, 19110, 24.15. The dat, er line at this point is put at 37 feet, which means that lhe water is even with the bank on the outside of the levee. Tile highest the river ever reached at this pnint was April 19, 18is, l when the gauze read 44.:15. ? The State of LoAuisiana is now sending its exhibits to the Pan American Expoaitiou at Buffalo, and it will have everythling re:oly when the Exposition opelns in May. It is said that the exithit will be very fine, and is bound to attract mliuch atten tion. Will Lanier, a white man, under sentcnce of death, and who ws conu tined in one of the jaids of Miississip pi, made his -ileape last week. Ili s case had lieen taken to the Sulprem Court, aiind the verdict (,of the lower court was confirmed only a few days before he skip ld. Heaiumont, 'T'exas, continues to attract tile wildest excitement, aud thousands upon thousands of ipeople are tlcking to that part of the c(onn try. Twenuty-tive thousand dollars was paid for an acre of ground on Monday last, which was a pretty good sum of nmoncv to lay out. According to the report of the City Board of HIealth of New (Or leans, the mortality in that city for the past twenty-seven years has been 20U,700, and out of this nuin her of deaths. 23,193 died frim con sumption. More than 800 die of this disease every year in New Or leans. The State of Kansas may like the doings of Mrs. Carrie Nation, Iut Kansas City, Mo., won't tolerate her and her hatchet. She was arrested in that city on Monday for obstruct ing the sidewalks and given a fine of $500 and so many hours to vamouse, which she did, no doubt, in double quick time. There is some big things to take place iu New O san this andi next uoatb, the railroads are giv n ~ to that city, large SId be attracted there.
