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.
