Automobiles and horses were abandoned in a mad rush to safety AYheu it was noted that the rise was slow, the inhabitants feverishly packed their belongings and Hocked to tho roads leading to the high lands. It is expected the village will b’e inundated in a few iiours.
The force of the flood generally is regarded as being spent, and New Orleans is consider'd out of danger. The river has dropped to the lowest level since early in April. Tho betting since the flood’s beginning has been feverish. Many gamblers who bet against a twentyone foot rise are paying out.
