CALAMITY WILL FOLLOW Giant Embankment Near Helena, Arkansas, is Crumbling?Flood Conditions Aggravated by the Continual Rains. With the water overlapping me cmI bankment and the earthwork fast crumbling, a break in the levee at Holly bush, Ark., a few miles north of i Memphis, Tenn., and the overflowing of a vast area is anticipated. Reports j Irom Marion, Ark., and other points, | situated within the valley through j which the waters would flow toward I the St. Francis river, that natural out[ let, are that hope cf saving the levee | has been practically abandoned. Uniavorable weather conditions have added to the seriousness of the situation. The stage of the river reached on. the Memphis gauge Thursday night at 7 o'clock was 39 4, a rise of .4 for the preceding twelve hours, lacked but little over a foot of the maximum gauge predicted by Forecaster Emery, 40.5, and there is ar. interval of at finv-: before the crest is due. v f? V _ At Helena-, Ark., the north protection levee has been swept r.way. and the main levee is endangered. The entire north section of the city and several small towns in the vicinity arc inundated. Conditions along Wolt river continue seric-us, and while no breaks have yet been reported, the levees continue to slough into the stream. The approaching fiocd situation at New Orleans aggravated Thursday by the announcement of the local weather bureau that a stage of 20 feet will be reached at New Orleans, o^ing to rains of the past two days over the Mississippi valley. Nineteen feet has been the generally predicted stage. The gauge Thursday read 18.2, with the water, which has reached the top of a low section of the levee in the down district at Canal street, beginning to wash the sand bags, which have ben plied on the levee. The swollen river was an object of interest to hundrds of northern visitors who crowd New Or-' leans this time of the year. Even if20 feot is reached the water will be a foot under previous rises. The earth in the Texas and Pacific railroad embankment in Concordia Parish, La, -bas been washed out, leaving northing but the piles and stringers standing. The base of the earth was mostly sand, and always has been a source of trouble when the river rose. A lot of bags, to be filled with earth, have been sent to the place for the purpose of making a fight to hold the trestling and track together. The river had stood 45.7 feet Thursday afternoon at 4 p. ni., end is rising at the rate of 3-10ths a day. The river at Vicksburg reached 47 feet early Thursday morning or 3 ieet above the danger line. The Yazoo canal in front of the city is swollen to such proportions that it is nearly as wide as the Mississippi during normal conditions.

Lacked up against a building, Jackson, trembling with fear, shielded himself with his aims, while the crowd beat nun and tore his clothes. About this time several other negroes took part in the affair and endeavorea to prelect Jackson. Immediately there cries of "Lynch them" and' "Kill the niggers."
