ON BOARD THE POST-DISPATCH FLOOD RE- LieF Boat, ALTon, Ill., May 18.—At 5 0’clock yesterday morning we returned from Mis- sour! Point with the people we bad taken out of the bottoms and sent them with a guide to police headquarters, where the rescued are assigned to lodgings. All hands turned in fora short rest, for we had promised Nick Hosier that we would run up to Dora Slough in the morning to place the barge which the tug Reliance left there in a position to be loaded with stock and to arrange for the rescue of the inhabitants from their in- undated dwellings. Our ‘‘rest’’ was a nap of an hour and a half. Since leaving St. Louis the relief steamer has tied up only eight anda half hours, and this will give an idea ofthe demands which are made upon the boat for succor by those in affliction. Working with a double crew of two pllots, two engineers, two firemen, the relief boat is kept at work day and night, now taking away those in danger, now only transferring them toa knollor mound within, perhaps, a hundred feet of their houses, high enough to afford them protection at least for a while from the waters which here are still ris- ing. At 6:30 o’clock we were upand at 7 ready for the start. We were boarded by the spe- cial committee of the Alton Board of Trade, now constituting the Relief Committee, which had been assigned to the duty of furnishing us with information as to the localities where ald was required. The com. mittee consisted of Messrs. Mcinerny, Dorsey and OCuruy. A steam launch had cometo the city last hight while we were at Missouri Point to notify the committee that there were three families with their furniture and stock anx- fous to be taken to places of safety. Mr. Mc- Inerny said he had secured a barge which was lying across the river and he would have gates put around it to make it sultatle for the transportation of stock. Wethentoid him of the arrangement we had made to go to Dora Slough, which is three miles from the mouth of the Missour! River, and suggested that the barge be made ready while we were there in order to save time. The advisability of thiscourse was ap- parent. We brought the barge over to the only to beat our way for three miles, how- ever, and after a battle of half an hour we turned into Mobile Chute, to meet a current almostas strong, bearing straight against us. The relief boat’s powerful double com: pound engines fought her way up anda close lookout was kept for a signal to indicate where we should land. AS We Deared a long narrow stretch of wil- lows, rising out of the water, two miles from the entrance into the slough, we heard a shout. Our serviceable whistle answered and the call was repeated. **Some one is there,’’exclaimeda man on the cabin deck and the o:der to stop was given. **Lowertwo boats,’’ was the next com- mand andthe boatmen drew their skiffs to the deck’s edge and waited for the steam to come to a stop. *‘Let them go,’’ shouted the Captain, and with a good hard shove both light boats were sent into the waterand the boatmen leaped into them and caught up the oars in time to prevent the treacherous current from swing- ing them head down and making a turn nec- essary. They struck offfcr the willows and the reliefcorps onthe boat used glasses to discover if possible who was there. We found what we supposed to be a man bouy- ing himself up on a log, but by the time the boats were half way over he had floated down through an opening in the willows and disappeared. The boats went through the submerge(l island but found no one and returned only to increase our wonder. That someone had shouted was sure, but it seemed strange that he could not be found. We hauled inthe boats, however, and con- tinued our way up the chute. We soon dis- covered the mystery which had been puzzling us. Around a point, and bearing almost due north, we oDtained a view of a house which had been hidden by a grove of trees, and later we saw our will-o’-the-wisp man row- ing toward the house. He had hailed us to let us know that we had found the right place and then pulled off for the house to no- tify the others that we had come. Half a mile ahead of us, moored ina grove, we saw the barge and ina few minutes drew up alongside, ran out our hawsers and made fast. RESCUE WORK IN DORA SLOUGH. As soon as the Post-DIsSPaTcH relief boat made its mooring tothe lonely Darge, it be- ‘rounded and allat least half submerged by the waters. Th were about ten of these dwellings some of which, standing on lower ground, had been completely submerged and hen necessarily abandoned by their occu- p— who took refuge with some of their nelg rs.

Haif way along the length of this rail fence towards the village, there were tied to stout posts a motley live-stock collection, horses, cows, and mules, all in the water, el. eyaeny yy) Thi } sam iti UPD LE eerhh plliitt ‘ ‘ T.LOUIS P hs PAT i gy lama “i th hes Tillie Tint Ting wet tii! enti: ea cu ott LLL THE ‘‘POST-DISPATCH’’ FLOOD BOAT. came the focal pointfor a number of skilffs loaded to the gunwales with flooded vil- lagers. The first skiff, the advance guard of the helpless little community, had put out diagonally across the submerged hamlet ina northeasterly direction and arrived at the barge at the same time as did the relief boat. This skiff contained young Christ Horst- man, JFr., a son of the well-to- do German farmer after whom the grove was named, and John Teger, whose family are driven from their home by the Moodand are now domiciied with the Horstmans. The scene following their arrival, whenthe various skiffs and scows began mobilizing on the Post-DIsPATCH flood-relief boat, was strikingly picturesque, a desolate flood panorama which, once seen, could never be forgotten. It had the inundated village itself fora background. Distant farthest to the south from the relief boat stood the Horstman farm house, a commodious homestead two stories in height with along sloping brown roof and old-fashioned galleries running entirely around the house. The flood reached tothe floor of the second story of this house, and stretched away over wide acres of the richest farm lands inallthe rich Columbia Bottom, now a waste of muddy yellow water. Tothe right of the Horstman farm house, and prob- ably about fifty yards distant, was the barn, a wreck, one side of which was torn com. nef out by the washing of the waves that owed through its breadth. In the lower partof the barn, ona raised flooring, were tethered a number of horses body-deep in the water, neighing and stamping about uneasily amidsttheir strange surroundings. But it was onthe upper floor of this barn, from which the roof had been torn away, that the ee ote a No. 1—Skiff Capsized in the Flood Ourrent at Horstman’s, En Route to the Post-D1s- PATCH Relief Steamer.

A quan- tity of hay was stored there, andon top of the hay stooda handsome bay horse. From the deck of the relief boat the figure of this horse was Outlined clearly against a clear sky, and one could easily have imagined that the statuesque form had been chiseled from stone by the work of some ma ang ae realistic sculptor. Three days the horse bad occupied this exa!ted position, and, probably owing tothe fact that he was right in the midst of ail the food-supply Kept sto inthe barn, he seemed to be perfect content with his quarters.

They were afreid to be brought nearer to the boat, unless abandonment of the viilage should be decided on, owing tothe danger of stemming the flerce current that swept into the settlement at the place where Dora Slough passed the extreme corner of the little hamlet, Among the typical gatherings and groups of ordinary farm life, however, the total ab- sence from view of all poultry and hogs was noticeuble. These were all within doors, liv- ing for the time with the villagers them- selves. In one instance, indeed, this consideration for their live stock led to bovine entertainment in one of the farm-houses. The dinitng-room of William Bene’s dwellingis at present occu- pied by four Jersey cows and a buil, their muffled lowing and bellowing floating out from the residence as though in protest against the unexpected honor oftheir envir- onment. SAVING LIVES WITH SKIFFS. The visits of the skiffsto the Post-Dts- PATCH relief boat madeaecene suggestive of Canadian ranid-shooting. They came into view from the village manned by at least two, anda sometimes four, sturdy oarsmen, The first half of their progress, made through the comparatively still waters in the central portion of the vil- lage was easy work, but as they neared the crevasse through the little levee onthe edge of Dora Slough it became decidedly ticklish. In one instance the occupants of a heavy, blunt-bowed scow were unable to stem the current, and found themselves being washed back intothe village despite their vigorous use of the oars. Fortunately, however, they were already onthe high ridge made by the slope of the levees, and one or their crew, lucky enough to wear high rubber boots sprang overboard and grasping the bvat’s bow, while his com- pease plied the oars, the skiff was finally rought alongside the PostT-DIsPaATCcH relief boat. Asecond crew, approaching the visi- tors from outside the rall fence to the right, after unavailing efforts to make headway against the flood-current, gave up the at- tempt to use the oars, and drifting rapidly to within grasp of the fence, pulled the boat along by using the rail uprights for a pur- chase for the hands. When the open gate was reached,through which the water rushed like amlll stream, despite all their efforts the skiff! was dashed through like a chip. It whirled, circling towards the barge to which the relief boat was moored, but just before reaching it filled by a sudden turn caused by the swiftness of the current, and sank under the three oarsmen almost before they knew that the water had poured intoit. The depth of the flood on the ievee top, however, was only about three feet, and beyond a thorough wetting the men suffered no injury from their mishap. They climbed aboard the relief boat, dripping likea trio of human water- spaniels. THE RELIEF BOAT A GODSEND. The joy with which the arrival of the Post- DISPATCH relief-boat was hailed was touch- ing in its significance of the helpless and des- perate plight of the villagers of Horstmwan's Grove. Young Horstman, as he approached in the first skiff, called out: ‘*Hello, there! Maybe we ain’t- glad to see you!’’ Then heclambered aboard the barge and came to the steamer’s sides. rn ‘*‘We’re all glad to go,’’ he satd, ‘*but, mister, we hate to leave our stock to die in the fooa. Can’t you get that away for us, too?’ ‘*Yes, we can and will,’’ was the reply. ‘*We'll pay you any price for gettin the stock away,’’ said young Horstman. *‘it'sa matter of many dollars for us,ican tell you. ‘‘We won’t take your stock away for money,’’ the anxious young German was told, But we'll doit for ngthing. This Is a re- lief boat sent out by the PosT-VISPATOH. 004 of thanks and expressions of grati- tude followed this amnouncement. Then a conference began as to the method by which the live stock could be brought to the barge. ‘Oan you swim the animals down to this point?’’ the villagers were asked. ‘*No, that can’t be done,’’ was the prompt reply. ‘‘It is inst the current all the way, break loose and half of them on the other side o* r to take the where the stock is?’’ gi you to where the > 7. “st hae « : ~ ry bs Ae S ane. | on ‘yp SLY wish q a - ev het .

Yet almost the very next question addressed to them showed that there was a solution to the problem. **You say that the relief boat will have to get close to Horstman’s place to get your stock on board?’” ‘*Yes, that’s the only way it can be done.’”’ ‘*Well, isn’t thefe a sagt or deep water running around from jus below tere toa point near Horst *s?”” UP TO HORSIMAR’S SLOUGH. **Yes, there is for @ fact,’*" came the unex- pected answer. ‘*We hadn’t thought of if because you’ll have to go down a t amile back of where you are now to at’ mouth of the slough. Then you @an follow it up, and it stops almost at Horgtman’s house.’’ This reply cleared away the aifficulties of the situation and made the rescue of the littie flooded community and ite treasured live- stock a certainty. The plan of rescue was explained to the villagers, who were told that the relief steamer would take the barge around to the other slongh, Where the stock could be driven and loaded into it, while the Villagers and their families would be taken aboard the steamer. They were overjoyed atthe prospect, and three skiffs instantly started back to carry the glad news to their waiting companions. The relief steamer swung out from its mo@orings, taking the barge with her, and began the mile journey to the ‘‘Horstman Slougm.’’ It was about 11 o’cldi when this slough was entered, and it w@p at once discovered that the relief steamer could not go the entire length ofthe slough, owing to obstructions Inits channel. But it was possibile to get the barge through with the aid of skiffs and by either side of the wser to them, the he barge, and thus gh the slough by ‘by oarsménof the POST-DIsPATCH relief Doat crew, who rowed ahead of the barge with the hawser in tow. The barge was cast off from the steamer, and then its heavy progress toward Horstman’s began. it wasa slow task, and the men in charge worked like beavers, but at last the relief boat watchers had the pleasure of see- ing the barge tied up to the trees near Horst- man’s house, where it was taken in charge by the villagers. The men from the relief steamer reported back on board, and the preparations for loading the stock into the arge could be plainly seen. This was a ee that would take all afternoon, and the relief steamer had already promised to visit the flood sufferers in Brickhouse Slough, about sixteen miles away, atnoon. The little com- munity at Horstman’s had previously been pulll main told that while the loading ofthe live stock ofrelief and volunteers were not wanting who placed themselves at the disposal of either the PosT-DISPATCH ex tion or of their own Home Committee. Everybody yesterday realized the full extent ofthe awful calamity which has overtaken the dwellers Pe the marshes on either side of the two great vers. After a short delay we again set out, this time for Brick House Slough, about ten miles above the mouth of the Missouri River, on the Missouri side. At the mouth of this slough the tworivers approach within three miles of each other at ordinary stages of water, but they are now not more than one mile apart, nearly the whole country be- tween them being flooded, Here and therea little knoll rises picturesquely out of the waste, and on these many have fied with their belongings for shelter and safety. Out ofthe water rise tall trees, with here and there an open space, signifying that here was a farmer’s ruin. In these open spaces were stacks of hay some of them only just peeping above the surface as if ashamed of their temerity in daring to stand up against their watery foe. At these places the water was comparatively still, the current being mainly felt inthe sloughs and other natural channels. The distant baying ofa hound would often give the clue to the whereabouts of the farm- houses and often shouts were heard through the woods indicating that humanity had not yet deserted its own, but was still gto | with disaster. The foliage hungthick an high along the sloughs and only by the nar- row lane of trees coulda we distinguish the ap line between slough and submerged and, On this trip the Post-DIsPpATCH Relief Expe- dition met its first disaster. As the boat moved out from the wharf and headed for midstream a threatening cloud hung Diack and heavy in the Western sky. Rain and wind, besides thunder and lightning, were seen in this disagreeable object with which the people of the lowlands are already too familiar. But Mr. Richtman and Capt. Truax laughed at this exhibition of bad temper on the part of the weatner clerk. ‘*‘This is nothing,’’ said Mr. Richtman, as the steamer entered the slough. ‘*I have steamboated in bayous and know just whatto do in these places. The Mississippi River was soon lost to sight and the forest closed in upon the steamer on every side. It was literally a voyage over- land. Atthe mouth the slough is about 250 feet wide, but it soon closed inand in places was not more than forty or fifty feet from one line of treestothe other. Capt. Bruner was at the wheel, with Capt. Truax on the hurri- cane deck, and Engineer Richtman, with his say, ‘‘Wait till I grow higger,’’ a gentle breeze which didn’t stay léng at atime, but came often, and which evidently wasn’ta friend of the pilot. Suddenly the steamer veered round. ‘*Look out!’’ called out halfa dozen startled voices from the cabin deck. The injunction was not needed. Every body was looking out for just over the right hand side the thick foliage swept along the hurricane deck and the light Dranches snapped along the guards. Those on board who didn’t know any thing about navigation looked at one another gravely. ‘*Nothing has happened,’’ shouted Capt. Truax with a laugh, ‘‘except that the hurri- cane deck is pretty well swept.’’ Capt. Truax held his p f At this moment a whistle was —~ No. 4—A Wrecked ‘‘Shanty-Boat,’’ From Which a Woman and Child Were Drowned, The reporters tried to get some information by scanning Mr. Richtman’s face. He said nothing, but looked nonchalantly forward. Nobody could gather from his face whether he was happy or unhappy. He was in- different apparently. But he kept looking ahead. The boat steamed on and we were all re- gaining spirit and equanimity. But there was not so much conversation. Suddenly the water darkened with a thousand little ripples and, swish! came the cottonwood leaves again, and thenanolse asof strain- ing wood followed by a sudden snap, and one of the bows broke off sharp and fell in the water.

Time did not press, and the three families two miles from the mouth of the slough did not expect the boat before 3 in the afternoon. Every five minutes the whistle blew cheer- fully to remind any forgotten unfortunates that relief was at hand if they wanted it. But no answering shouts came back. Several families, huddled in their little homes, were halled by Capt. Truax through openings in the woods, but they were all comparatively well situated and preferred to stay where they were. No. 8—An Abandoned Haven of Refuge aN P< » \ ae “a WG YS » on the Mississippi, Just North of Chouteau’s Island. was under way the relief steamer would pro- ceed to Brickhouse Slough and arrange for the taking away of refugees from that district and then returnto Horstman’s. So, with farewell shouts and waving of hats the desolate scene at Horstman’s was aban- doned for the time being, and the Post-D1s- PATCH relief steamer started on the river trip to Brickhouse . Slough. A stir wind was isch as the steamer once more entered the wide flood of the Mississippi, and the water was unusually rough. Butthe powerful steamer boomed rapidly along towards Alton, where a momentary stop was to be made en route4o Brickhouse Slough. An experience of narrow escape from total shipwreck was awaiting her, which, if her staff of Post-DISPATCH Correspondents and artists could have known by premonition, would have somewhat clouded the satisfac- tion felt over the success Of the preparations for the moving away of the flooded commu- nity at Horstman’s. THE REFUGEES SAVED. The families lHivingatorinthe immediate ’ vicinity of Horstman’s, who are to be taken toa place of safety as soon as they have packed up their household effects and loaded theirlive stock into the barge towed into Horstmanh’s Slough by the Post-DispaTcu relief boat, are those of Chris Hortsman, Wm. Bene, Henry Riemann, Louis Colles, John Tejer, Geo. Mueller, Herman Sohnemann, Charley Eppner, Christ Hicker, Frederick and Henry ngenburg, Henry Bonzart, —— Zelek and ——Giesel. They have been in their present desperate position for three days past, and those seen by the Post-Dis- PATCH relief corps look as though completely broken down by the hardships and terrors of their sad plight. A PERILOUS VOYAGE, Steamboating Among Trees in Brick- House Bayou. Ox BOARD THE PoST-DISPATCH FLOOD RE- LIEF Boat, May 18.—It was 2 o’clock when the Post-DrsPpaToH Relief Steamer ar- rived at the Alton wharf on her return from Horstman’s Grove. A throng of curious spectators lined the levee and crowded the wharf boats. They all gazed | All eyes on the boat were turned tothe bows and reporters and their Alton friends ex- changed speculations. touching the question how far a Mississippi River boat could sall inland without getting into aiffiiculties. But no trouble came although the foliage often brushed the guards and the heavy over- hanging boughs were grazed by the steamer as she moved steadily forward on her mission. Again did Capt. Truax and Mr. Richtman smile their confidence in answer to questions from ee Poets. But at last even they were forced to yield to a heavy raft of driftw and making fast the steamer a skiff was launched with instruc- tionsto proceed to the objective point of the expedition and warn the sufferers that delay might occur, and that we were coming to their ald as soon as an opening could be made in the ugly black mass of eee | tim- ber. The sound of oars died away in the distance and then we settied down to wait for the signal to proceed once more. THE FLATBOAT SANK. But the boat had reached what was to be for her the head of navigation,. at least for that trip. Inside of three-quarters of an hour the skiff returned. **More trouble,’’ called out the oarsmen as they pulled up along side, ‘*What is the matter now?’’ came anxiously from the hurricane deck. ‘*The flat boat sank,’’ the oarsman called inreply. ‘‘They had a lot of horses and cows on board, and as they were pulling it out to the slough it sprang a leak, hey’re in a bad nix ‘*How many are they now?’’ was asked. ‘*Three families. There area many more, but they have no way of pat | their stock out, and they won’t go without it.’’ Just at this moment a second skiff came down and drew upalongside. After a few more questions anda short deliberation, the heen man, who was a member of one of the amilies we were seeking, was assured of help in the morning in some shape, and he drearily picked up his oars and turned back towards his dismantled home and floating Ht stock. Capt. Bruner again took the ‘*This isn’t anything,’’ said Mr. Richtman, quietly. ‘‘I’ve seen worse than chis.’’ But whether he was thinking of a little ad- venture he had last high water or was only trying to quiet the apprehensions of his pas- sengers was notapparent, ashe didn’t ex- plain. THE DANGERS THICKEN., AD open straight space offered an easy path for a minute or two, the steamer Kept on her way without contact with the cottonwoods andelms, But again the treacherous breeze darkened the water. The bow swung round, **Look out for the jackstaff,’’ shouted a half-dozen voices. The bell rang violently inthe engine-room as the head of the boat a itself inthe branches of the cotton- wood. ‘*The jackstaff is going!’’ exclaimed the anxious watchers under their breath. There was no shouting now. An occasional quick, sharp order from the Captain was the only sound heara from human throat. Then the engines stopped and the stern moved round, A crackling crash came from the stern as the steamer swung down on a low dead tree and snapped offthe branches like tinder. But the jackstaff was not hurt. It bent, but it was of sturdy stuff and was not to be broken with impunity. Then Mr. Richtman went to the boller deck and had the jackstaff lowered sideways to an angle of 30 deg. or so with the deck. ‘*‘Now waita while,’’ he said very coolly. Slowly, very slowly the bow was carried down stream by the current until the tree was cleared. Then the jackstaff was raised again, andanother bell was heard in the engine-room, Forward once more with every eye ahead or running along the length of the boat to see what was going to happen next. Crash! This time at the stern. It looked serious now. The boat was struck amidship by the boughs, which bent and snapped as they scraped along the side. Then a louder crash andalimb too stout for the supports of the hurricane deck and the guard rail tore along the cabin deck breaking the slender columns like matches, tearing away two sections of the guard railand hurling one of Capt. Truax’s chairs off the deck into the water, ‘*‘The whole sternis gone this time,’’ ex- claimed the landsmen, and they all thought— ‘*What about the wheel?’’ But the wheel was not hurt, and no dam- age was done to the body of the boat or to the decks. ‘‘This is nothing,’’ said Mr. Richtman., ‘*'This is like matches,’’ ashe touched the guard frame. ° But in spite of his exasperatingly a way the landsmen thought it was something and something very serious. The engines had stopped and the vesse came almost to a stop. slougp. It-was the ‘*Piasa,’’ the little tug, coming up with a flat boat. Immediately the Post-DisPATCH Relief Steamer whistle sounded loudly four times,which was quickly answe her small rival in well doing, Just then something which we all thought very serious indeed happened. A big tree on the left struck the y chains of the smoke stacks, and one ofthem fell with a clatter on the deck. ‘*The smokestack claimed, qu 1 ttle group which had and was looking up with fear, ex to see the smokestack nd and fall before the ugly obstacle that stood in its path, but which the weaker of the two. The boat swung round and moved slowly downto an open spacein the arboreal lane, where the asa was walting for her. Here a stop was made and the decks cleared off. Capt. and Mr. Richtman exam- ined the smoke stack and pronounced it un- injured. Neither said anything much, but the little they dia vouchsafe was non-com- mittally cheerful. After a little talk about the flood and the prospects for to-morrow, the two Doats parted company,and again the POST-DISPATCH relief steamer proceeded on her journey, with Capt. Truax at the wheel, All the POsT-DISPATCH reporters and artists, with their Alton friends, were clustered in the front of the cabin deck. | INTO THE BROAD RIVER AGAIN **Are we going to get out of this?’’ askeda landsman of Mr. Richtman. At this he , yes. There isn’t any damage done to speak of. I’ve seen much livelier adventures than this.’’ And he walked out to his seat at the bow on the boiler deck, where he quietly examined the hole where the jackstaf had been a few minutes before. It seemed to be plain sailing after this. The water darkened every minute or two and the breeze was felt by the reporters, but the boat rswung no more but went strai . otherwise as she was desired to do. clouds which had been forgotten during the twenty minutes when more interesting things than clouds werein mind were darker than before and a light scattering rain was falling. But just then the Mississippi was seen parcege the trees and weall breathed more reely. The boat spraee forward under an increased pressure Of steam and in a moment more entered the big stream as big and stronga boat as ever with a wheel . which would not need renewal for a long time to come. x ‘*are you glad you are out of it, Mr. Truax?’’ ‘Oh, yes; butit wasn’t much. I’ve seen much worse times than that,’’ he said, ap- pena no more excited by safety than he ad been by danger. Whether it was or was not danger we do notnow. But we are glad we are out of it. The damage tothe frame ofthe boat was very light. A few dollars will restore all the breaks and make the boat as pretty as ever.

A WAIF OF THE FLOO ' A desolate picture was sighted a short dls- tance below the mouth of the Missouri River from the decks of the Post-Dispatca relief boat. On atpatch of land not more than ten ards square, stood a solitary cow, py- ng the only dry ground within a radius of halfa mile. She had plenty to drink, but the on food within reach: was a clump of island small tree, er inch or two above waters and only a slight additional rise would sweep her off. There she stood, an image of patience, immovable, her big, sad eyes gazing over the wide waste of waters and she doubtless was wondering wor this t trouble had fallen upon her and w the two-legged creatures she was acc to rely upon did not come and take her away, -_ OS SAVED 100 LIVES.

These predictions were made by Prof. Russell even before he had reports from the tremendous rains that had fallen in the val- leysabove. They will make therise greater and add to the danger. THE POST-DISPATCH FLOOD FUND. A Generous Response to the Callfor Aid for the Flood Sufferers. Already there have beon genhcrous re- sponses to the call for donations to the **PosT-DISPATCH FLOOD FuNb.’’ To-day the call for he!p from the poor peo- ple driven out from their homes are more nu- merous than they were yesterday. The rising waters, the clouded skies of the night and the heavy rains of to-day robbed the unfortunate people of the hope they mursed yester‘ay. With the water steadily mountinz, its rise marked on the walls of their little homes, predictions of receding waters bring little comfort to the people. Merchants on ’Change are receiving word of distress at various places; the city author- ities are receiving calls; the matter \s being made the subject of city, State and army consideration, but with- out result, It is too difficult to get in motion the machinery for doing good, Last night word was received atthe City Halil that 500 persons on the ridge east of the American Bottoms, southwest of LeUeville, were without foodor shelter and suffering from hunger. A conference was held at the Southern Hotel between Mayor Noonan, the mes- Sengers from the Bluffs and the Quarter- master of the United States Army at Jeffer- gon Barracks, who was called upon to lend some tents and supplies. The conference was adjourned to get more information concern- ing the exact condition of the flood victims. Atthe agreed hour the parties tothe con- ference failed to reassemble, and nothing was done, During the night Mayvr Webber of Belleville telegraphed to the Post-Dis- 4 PATCH telling of the situation of the people back of the American Bottoms. Orders were Sent at once to tho PosT-DISPaTcu Relief Boat, anda detachment was sent to Belle- ville, whereat wagons were hired in edvance and loaded with bread, meat and coffee and the few utensils for cooking which would be of service in their surroundings. The Post-DisratTcu party drove out of lelle- Ville t> the point nearest the submerged Mobile & Ohio tracks in the American Bot- toms, from which most of the refugees came, At 8p. m. the messengers had not yet returned from the distressed families, as the point is only reached after a ten-mile drive, Dut the people will be given the relief by the Post-DisPaTCH party to-day. From Kimmswick, Mo., come reports of terrible suffering at a point opposite, onthe Missouri shore. Food supplies are giving out in the little places isolated by the water, and the suffer- ing will doubtless be great. This morning the following letters Were re- ceived with checks to bé added to the VPosr- DisPatTou flood fund: TYLER ESTATR, ) WILLIAMSON BACON, Prest. and Treas., GRANITE BLOCK, cor.

Hammon and his corps of printers were inthe midst of thelr bulletin work this morning, running the maps off their press, while clerks held open the mail bags below, waiting for the impor- tant signals the trains were to distribute, the telephone bell near the table where the men were working rang violently. One of the observers answered. Amember of a Levee firm was at the other end of the wire. ‘*What’s the river golngtodo?’’ he asked, lhe man at the telephone repeated the question to Observer Hammon, ‘*Tell him it will @ise between six inches and a foot more,’’ ‘*What’s that!’* the inquirer at the other end exclaimed, as he heard the answer. **six inches or a foot,’’ repeated the man in the Signal office, **Good Lord!’’ was the dolorous reception the news wot at the other end of the line. By noon every river man manon the Levee had heard the news, and all the captains had long faces, They expected other things, aithough they began to fear when the rains broke over the city lastnight. The telephone wire leading into the signal office was burdened with inquliries allday. Observer Hammon had a very seri- ous face when a Post-DISPATCH reporter saw him at noon, pouring over his maps and dis- patches. ‘‘Ve'’reinforalong siege of it,’’ said he, ‘*‘but the people below will fare worse. There lave been heavy rains all over Arkansas, low.’ and South Dakota. AnD average of 242 inches has fallen in Arkansas in the past twenty-four bours, halfan inch in Western lowa and aninchin the whole State on an average. Nearly threeinches has fallen in VUmahainthe past forty-eight hours. The clearing weather conditions have reached the eastern end of Kansasand the Dakotas and the western edge of lowa, and extend west as faras we haveany reports. The rainfall in St. Louls in the past twenty-four hours has been half an inchandis moving eastward. In the present condition of theriver rain- fallofaninch here meansa rise of a foot, without considering the effect of the rains above. The clearing weather conditions wWillreach the Mississippi! Valley to-night, and we wili have two or three days at least ofiair weather. Isee no reason to auntici- pate further rain immediately. Had it not een forthe rain the river would have reached its crestat St. Louls by to-day and would not have gone beyond 3).8 feet, but the fall of halfon inch here will bring on another rise inthe river. How much exactly 1 can’t tell. When the rise here caused by this rain stops the heavier rainsup above in the Missouri valley will preventany fall of the river for ten days at least, and it will remain station- ary somewhere near the 386-foot marx for that length of time, If there are no more beavy rains it willthen begin to go down.’’ PROF. RULSELL’S FORECAST. The Warning Sent Out by the Flood Fore- caster at Washington. Following is the special bulletin of warn- ing prepared by Flood Forecaster Thomas tussell at Washington and distributed from St. Louis to-day toall the river points: The threatening aspect of the outlook to- day, May 17, for the,lower Mississippi Val- ley has deepened in the past forty-eight hours as rexszards the prospect for intensity and duration of the impending Mood. With the water in sight matters stand about as fol- lows: There has been a rainfall of 2.20 incues along the Missouri River from Kansas City to Pierre, and 2.50 inches along the Arkansas from Fort Smith to Little Rock. The rainfail in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, and along the Upper Mississippi averages over one inch, The present high stage of the Missouri at Kansas City, 21.7 feet, a fall of one foot since yesterday, will be maintained for some time, and may even § in- crease in the next three days. The Upper Mississippi at Dubuque, witha stage of 10.9 feet to-day, has risen two feet in the past five days. At St. Louls the very high stage of 35.3 feet prevails, there being a rise of five feet in the past five days. The rate of rise has slack- ened. ‘The prospects are that the rise will continue one foot more and the hich stage will be maintained for sometime. The Ohlo has begun to rise, the stage at Cincinnati being 22.5 feet. The present Ohio rise will not be of muchimportance., The Cum.- berland is atalow staywe. The Tennessee is low. At Cairothe river is at a stage of 41.8 feet to-day, having risen 5.8 feet in the past seven days. The rate of rise at Cairo has falien off in the past day. It is not expected the stage will 20 £=above 43 feet in the next two days. it will continue stationary, however, at the high stage, and it remains to be seen yet what will occur with the Missouri! flood. ‘The stage of the river at Memphis Is 31.4 feet to-day, a rise of .2 feet since yesterday. There had beena fall of 1.3 in the four days preceding. The rise will continue, and in the next five days the stage willreach 33.5 feet. The Arkansas River rose 13.4 feet at Fort smith yesterday, and is at the stage of 80.2. The stage at Little Kock is 25.6 and rising, and a stageof 80 feet may be expected by May 20. The stage of the river at Vicksburg is 49.3 feet and has begun to fall, It may continue to fall fora few days, but it is not likely to go much if any below 48 feet before the effect of the rise at Cairo and Little Rock will be felt. The re- cent rise at Cairo would be sufficient to in- crease the stage at Vicksburg, atits present height by 1,6 feet in the next ten days. The rise at Little Rock of 4 feet in the past five days, and the anticipated ad- ditional rise of over five feet will be sufficient in the next eight days to add two more feet to the Vicksburg stage. The waste water in sight justifies a bellef that the stage at Vicks- burg would increase to about fifty-one feet if the levees were high enough to hold the water, The highest stage the levees are con- sidered capable of withstanding is 49.5 feet. **The paints of greatest danger below,’’ said Observer Hammon Aeeny & commenting upon this bulletin, ‘‘are from below the mouth of the Arkansas City to New Orleans. The levees as they are at present will not be able to hold the water which is on its way down. That is why I was s0 anxious to get the bulletin out 60 that those people might get warning.’’ DANGER IN NORTH 8ST, LOUIS. Manutacturers Taking Measures to Meet the Expected Rise. One of the best points of vantage for ob- serving the wreckage that the flood has wrought in North St. Louis ig at the corner of Hal street and Bremep avenue, On a line ™ , 7 * all ¢*% , - “4 - als -.. - ee - * * . - Pir an ORGS Ve os ¥ = aa ata i ity. ¢ get Sh Rie . drawn straight easton Bremen avenue and with a slight curve to the north, beginning Rallroad almost on the Merchants’ Terminal tracks, there is a view panoramic in its effects, are almost bewlidering to the eye unac- guainted with river sights. The first scene on the river is the lumber yards of the Knapp, stout & Co, Company, Here more than 6,000,000 feet of lumber are floating around, forming what looks like a monster raft. Col. John Doughlass, the manager estimates that the replling, assort- ing and washing the lumber will not be less than $12,000 or $14,000. Itis the heaviest loss of the kind ever sustained in North St. Louls. Looking northeast from the yards is seen Bissell’s Point, Venice like, in fifteen feet of Water. It is three blocks out from the unusual clump of big cotton wood trees, whose great branches and thick follage shade it, it looks not unlike an island. A PosT-DISPATCH re- porter made a skiff trip this morning through he water bound point and found the situa- tion unchanged from yesterday. Ali of the families are occupying the second stories of their fooded houses. The Merchants’ bridge telegraph office is up toits eyes in water andis deserted. The Kiverside Gun Club-house is tied up to keep it from following the course of the river. Be- tween the Pointand East Grand avenue the expansion of the water was held in subjec- tion by the Water Works, which are at sucha high elevation that only a ’é4é4 tide could inconvenience them. But the basins, coal sheds and power-houses are all sur- rounded with 10 feet of water except the high service engine-house at Second street and East Grand avenue. Leonard Ainsley and the Philip Gruner & Bros. Lumber Co, cannot do anpthing with their overfiowed yards until the river falls five or sixfeet. It will cost them $1,500 to straighten up the piles and getthemin shape again for the retail trade, Last the Mississippi Glass Works, Second and Angelica street the river has worked its way in through a sewer and flooded the gas generating rooms, but no damage resulted, as Col. A. L. Rowe, the manager, took the precaution to have all of the valuable beits and portable machinery removed before the water made tts entrance. This anticipation was worth several thousand dollars to the company. Yesterday Col. Rowe telegraphed to the World’s Fair at Chicago to have them remove from the factory yards $50,000 worth of glass for the fair buildings that was endangered by the encroactting waters. The glass is being loaded out to-day on twenty flat cars. North and east from Grand avenue there is nothing but water to be seen. The river is ten miles wide in many places. The water is dotted here and there with the wreck of a forsaken home and the tops of some great forest trees. North of this point about seven miles is where the POsT-DISPATCH Relief Boat accomplisheda great work of humanity in saving life and property. From Ferry street south to Harrison the water is scarcely a hand’s reach from leaving its con- fines and going over Hall street, along which are thetracks of Merchants’ Terminal and St. Louls Transfer Railroads, Probably another foot will cover it. This would flood allof the territory back toa point withina couple hundred feet of Second street, which runs paraliel with Hall street. Sucha deluge of water in that section would result in a loss that can hardly be estimated. In fact, hero lies the chief danger of an additional rise, so far as the St. Louls side of the river is concerned, In the’ territory are located the Lothman-Hafner Manufacturing Co., the Huttig Sash and Door Co., the St. Louls Saw Mill, the Niedringhaus Bros.’ Rolling Mills, Buck’s Stove and Range Co., the Mallinkrodt Chemical Works, the Me- chanics’ Planing Mill, the Knapp, Stout & Co, Company’s planing mill, the North St. Louis Tannery and the Mississippi Glass works. Between here and New Boston Bay there are 10,000,000 feet of rafted lumber tied upin sloughs waiting for‘an opportunity to come in, but when it will be safetodosoisa matter of much uncertainty. When the water does fall the landings will be covered with anywhere from 3 to 5 feet of a ceposit of sticky mud and this with piles of flood debris scattered all along them will put them in a more de- plorable plight. The tirms who have rafted lumber and waiting for an opportunity to come in are the Knapp, Stout & Co. Company, 300,000,000 feet; Eau Claltre- St. Louis Lumber Co., 1,000,000 feet; Philip Gruner & &ro.s’ Lumber Co., 2,500,000 feet; Schulenberg & Boeckeler Lumber Co., 2,000,000 feetof lumber and _ 1,000,000 feet of logs; Stern & Nohlman, 2,000,000 feet; John J, Ganahl Lumber Co., 1,000,000 feet, and Jahn Whitney, 700,000 feet. A big sewer leading up Salisbury street from the river let go at9o’clock this morn- ing and began pouring outan immense vol- ume or water. The break occurred in the rear of the Mechanics’ planing mill on Salis- bury near second and seriously threatened to inundate the surrounding factories and the Knapp, Stout & Co. company’s yards at Hall and Salisbury streets, where 80,000 feet of luinber is plled, It wag only by a determined fight that the flow of the food was thwarted at all, and then only by hastily building a dam in charge of John J. Fictcher, Assistant Superintendent of the Union stock Yards. Mr. Edw. Mallinckrodt of the Mallinckrodt Ghemical-works and vanayver Vancleve of Buck’s Stove and Ranyge-works had a conference at noon and decided to bulld an embankment facing the Mallinckrodt works on Salisbury’ street, extending from near Salisbury to { street. The situation generally aiong the North st. Louis front was con- sideied critically grave this afternoon, more so than atany time since the tlood began its ravages. An adcdditional rise threatens at least $250,000 worth of property. AT VENICE, MADISON AND BROOKLYN. The Water Fiowing in From All Sides and Cutting Off Communication. Near Madison, Ill,, the eastern terminal of the Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Rallway was a dismal swamp to-day In many places, The incessant drizzle reduced the Diack loam to asticky mud, and in many places little riv- ulets from the overflowed country made streets impassable. Atio’clock last evening, the water which had been accumulating all day on the east side of State street, from Nannoke and Long Lake, crossed the embanked road- way and lapped the fence boards of the Mad- ison car shops. water flowed across the works, and 10 o’ clock the to an inundation. The water surrounded the shops on the southeast and north sides to-day. Thecar building shop hada foot of water init, with the inpouring volume un- diminished. A dozen men waded around in rubber boots trying to save machinery. The engine rooms were untouched this morn- ing, but it was clear that the could not keep above water unti the this morning at night, andacrane arrangement was rigged to raise the dynamos above the highest possi- ble water level. The belts were cut and piled among the rafters. A large force of men were set to work in the machine shop to bank the plies, in order to prevent a scattering of smpali but valuable pieces by the advancing tide. The foundry wasthe only part of the works which the officials made any effort to save. Aforce of men were engaged in heap- ing up a mound of molding sand on the north side of the foundry to withstand the current from that direction. HOT BEDS OF IRON IN DANGER, The officials reiy uponthe water failing to reach the windows of the foundry. This is their only hope, for if the water gains an entrance the pits will he and hundreds of car wheels which have lain twelve feet deep in the pits since January, and a still sizzle with heat, would crack. The water in the car ports on the west and north sides of the shops ha forty new C., B. & Q. car refused to path if the which shore of the river and amid a Inashorttimea volume of street toward shops were doomed on In huge flooded trains of loaded freight cars were run around the lumber piles to outfiow of the boards Orders were sent to. at. . Louls severaldozen pairs o Salvage Gores” and several thousand feet of cable ropesto anchor the lumber piles. Many of the workmen gathered about the gates and doors of the shops ——— of their tools which Shey sees’ would be ruined in the general inundation. sromr the base of the great water tank in the yard of the Madison car shops, forty feet above the ground, a PosT-DISPATCH reporter and Assistant Superintendent Parks, ob- tained a view of the surrounding country, SCENE FROM THE CAR SHOPS. On every side dull leaden lines indicated the presence of water. All the day some citizens contended that the town was not in danger, but from the of vantage on a beseiged town Ddeleagered by an enemy who had cloaked his onward move- ments until to-day, when he threw off the mask and edvances in sone columns from every point of the compass. The Namecal backset which has already been mentioned as crossing State street and surrounding the car shops poured over the fallow land to the east and north of the shops to the railsof the Wabash tracks. A few feet beyound lay the Big Four track but it was two feet above the Wabash and at noon to-day was untouched by the water. Across a little ravine from the Big Four were the C. & A. tracks, which for, several days have been the one levee that saved Madison. The water will probably cross the Wabash and Big Four tracks by night, and the LU. & A. track which is three feet above the Big Four may have water as high on one side as on the other, Work on the diked road was and several idle trains tracks. The Madison citizens who had worked for several days to strengthen the ©. & A. track were. cut off from their field of labor by several acres of water. The area below the car shops was one sheet of water, extending down to and beneath the trestles of the Merchants’ Bridge. ‘The cur- rept was upward and Mr, arks stated that the water was from a 2530 - foot break in the Clover Leaf track near the east end of the Brooklyn Dike. The water poured through the open- ing down through Venice and then north- ward, toward the Madison Elevator which was totally surrounded, and thence onward into the lumber yard and the erection shop of the Madison Car Works, A giance to the far southeast with the strong glass revealed the break in the Clover Leaf, through which the torrent poured, A Hittle to the south of the Merchants’ Bridge the back-set water from Venice crossed the Edwardsville road and sub- merged it for several hundrea feet. This little inconvenience did not deter the people from the back country driving and wading down the road toward Venice, Brooklyn and East St. Louls ike Napoleon’s army in fre- treat, THE BREAK IN HORSESHOE LAKE, Tothe northeast the glass opens to view a silvery streak of water. Itis the bDreak in the Horseshoe Lake, which occurred to-day, and has added to the sorrows of the people. the opinion is widespread in Madison that things are in a bad plight. Dangers have multiplied too rapidly to allow the Chicago & Aiton track to have as much of the anxious atten- tion of the citizens as was given to that danger-point yesterday, but the in- crease is undiminished, and if the break occurs, the people are prepared for a hasty retreat. The horses of the Madison Car Co, are ready for instant use and the office fur- niture is stacked for immediate removal, THE DIKE PATROL OUTWITTED. The Brooklyn dike, Which the citizens of Venice and Madison have patrolied with guns for several days and nights to guard against any attempt of the negroes of Brooklyn to dynamite it and open the flood gates upon Venice and Madison, will be taken In the rear and probably over- whemled by the water from the north, In the high waters of 1833, the citizens of Venice cut the dike and swamped the negroes of Brooklyn. Many of the colored people of Brooklyn have hastened to Madison and come to live with their city cousins. A crowd of them came over this morning. almost filling a Broadway car on their way down town. They discussed, in a jocular manner, the flooded condition of their burg, and rehearsed the trials and dangers of drowning which have threatened them, Main street is now covered with water from one end tothe other, with the excep- tion of the crossings at Ferry street, Kerr street and the Edwardsville road. Pedes- trians cannot make the passage along the sidewalk without passing through water. Several families who have been livingin box cars in the C, & A. yards since Sunday were taken to Alton yesterday, as the water was becoming too deep to allow them to remain on the tracks. A number of families have also left Madison for St. Louis. The well at Rode’s Corner caved in Sunday night, taking a part of the sidewalk away. The merchants have the greatest difficulty in supplying customers with goods, as com- munication ts cut off by all routes except the Merchants’ bridge and the service by that route is slow. Goodsare being delivered to customers by boat in true Venetian style. The town abounds in small boatsof all des- criptions and they are constantly in use. All available dry land on Main:-street is occupied bya motley herd of horses, mules, cattle, pigs and poultry, which the rising waters constantly huddle more closely together. Most of the citizens have already re- moved thelr stock to higher ground at Stalling’s Station, Kinder, or St. Louis. The Y. M. ©, A. rooms are occupied by a family and in an enclosure on the sidewalk infront of the building aretwo pigs. The public schools are closed and a number of families installed in the school building. The town its in darkness, the electric light plant having ceased operations Saturday night, and trains no longer run to East St. Louis and the ferryboat ceased running Fri- day. Postmaster Fechte received but one mail yesterday and sent outnone, The corner stone of St. Mark’s Catholic School Is an- nounced to be laid Sunday with imposing ceremonies but the floods are likely to cause a postponement, as many persons would find itimpossible toatiend. On Gabaret Island of over one thousand acres but one-quarter ofan acre remains above water, which com- rises the corners of the Fisher, Schank and ‘epper farms. The familtesof Ernest Moer- line, Louls Gimble, Henry Cremer, Christ Cremer and Freda Kassing are stili onthe island with their horses and cattle. They are cut off from communication with the mainiand and areinacriticalcondition. All the houses on the island are in the water. On Carr Island Gabriel Pepper still re- mains, though his-house is entirely sur- rounded by water and nota foot of land is visible on the whole island. Besides the house nothing can be seen except the green tops of trees and a few blades of wheat. In addition to losing his entire growing crop Mr. Pepper lost 800 bushels of wheat stored in his granary. Fred Beckmann also lost 2,500 bushels of wheat and corn, At Kinder, west ofthe ©. & A. tracks, the houses on the Wulfmeyer and Kohl tracts are standing five feet above the water with an extensive tract of land. Henry Forsieck, who occuples the ‘latter, sheltered four families and twenty-two head of stock Sun- day night. This land was not submerged in 1858, and at Kinder Hes the only spot in the neighborhood not overflowed in 1844, This comprised the homesteads of George and Calvin Kinder, the former north and the latter west of the Kinder Church. The water crossed the Edwardsville road at the Five- mile House yesterday rendering that road impassable, and it is filling Up against the Jacksonviile Southeastern tracks. The choice wheat and potato lancs of the Bottom are now overflowed, and the many farmers will be almost ruined. Excellent fishing abounds and buffalo fish weighing from twenty-five to fifty pounds were caught on Main street Monday. Fish as large as a man’s body have been taken in, but broke the net and escaped. A number of smail houses that have been standing In the water forsome days became loosened from their foundations and started down stream yester- day.

The waters then re- ceded until the river was again within its banks. A month later the June rise came and the water reached the wunparal- leled record of 41 feetil inches on the ljth of June. The bridge across Carr Slough at old Venice was swept away and never rebuilt, the old town being abandoned. The oid Simms homestead, be- tween Third and Fourth streets in Madison, and a portion of the ridge on which tt stands, was the only point south of Kinder above the waters. O.C. Simms, then a lad, crassed the road near what is now Second street in Madison in a wood boat loaded with forty head of cattle. Large numbers of stock were drowned, Mr. J. G. Shelton of the New Madison Im. proveanen’ Co. said to-day that his company ad been done an injustice by the statement that it showed great indifference in protect- ing the New Madison levees. He says the company has done allinits powerto hold the water back from the town. When Maj. Rainwater ofthe Merchants’ Bridge & Ter- minal Co. became aware of the condition of affairs he sent word to Mayor Charles S. Keen of New Madison and told nim to spare no ex- poaee in repairing the levee and protectin hetown. Men have beenin the employ o the company ever since the flood piling sacks along the levee, and building up embank- ments. AT EAST ST, LOUIS. The Situation Growinzr More Serious Every Hour. The situation in East St. Louis presents quite a serious aspectand the prospects are that before morning, if the worst that is ex- pected should come to pass, the entire city will be inundated. The water is gradually pressing its way overthe Vandalia Line and only lacks a few inches of running over the Oo & MM. dike. Both roads are entirely submerged on the Island and no trains venture out into the widening waters. South of the city the backwaters of the Mis- sissippi and the Cahokia Creek have broken over the Air Line dike and the water Is slowly but surely advancing toward the main water, that is siowly creeping Overthe O. & M. dike on the south side, The the low grounds is ull water and not ae single family iniabit that portion of the city. East st. Louis is situated as it never was before and on the 0.& M. dike, which threatens to break at any mo- ment, depends the future existence of the town. lf this dike gives way the water will sub- merge the town in fifteen minutes and the in- habitants will have to be rescued in the most convenient way possible. Over the Short Line from Kast St. Louis to Belleville there is nothing but water to e seen and the families residing in this district are moving out the best way possibie. the Vandalia Line at 12:30, run fifty cars of rock out on its submerged line to prevent it being washed away and the O, & M. will fol- low suit to-night. ‘*The situation is. very pblue,’’ said a resi- dent of the East Side toa Post-DIsPaTCH fre- porter this afternoon, ‘‘If the back-water of the Air Line continues to come up andthe O. & M. Dyke gives away we are ruined for twenty years. as there will not be a foot of land to seen in East St. Louis.’’ HHundreds of men are at work along the bank of the Cahokia Creek endeavoring to revent the creek from submerging the city rom the west, but theirattempts will prove futile if the river rises two inches higher. If the Mississippi River continues to rise as it has in the last fortnight East St. Louis will be no more before to-morrow night, but on the other hand, if the river remains at a stand- still, there is no danger anticipated unless the O. & M. dyke breaks away, which will term- inate in the same result. The city is now threatened from the east and south. From the river to the bluffs four miles east there is a sea of water soutb of the railroad tracks. For two miles or more out of the city this body of water is held in check by the Cairo Short Line road bed, but further on eastit hasfoundan outlettothe north through the railway culverts at Centerville station. The water which reached Centerville station early yesterday morning deepened rapidly all day and during the night aud result showed in the fact that Pittsburg Lake, just beneath the bluff, had been transformed into a sea. the water broke the new roadbed lately bDuilit by the Belleville and St. Louls Electric Kall- way Oo, (the E. L. Thomas syndicate). This bed was but a few feet south of the Cairo track, and through wi . tue water was soon rushing up the ig ae t tha the this morning the. anny no trains are running west of Belle- ville. The Loutsville express this morning was transferred to the Louisville & Nashville tracks at Mount Vernon and came into East St. Louls over that line. None of the Alr Line accommodation trains of the Air Line reached East St. Louis to-day, The Fairfield accommodation stopped at Belle- ville and the Belleville and East St. Louls accommodation trains were aban- doned entirely. Master Mechanic Schning stated to a POST-DISPATCH reporter to-day tnat no trains could be run between marley soe and St. Louls on the Air Line this week. The water that flooded the lake and caused the Air Line washout is expected to back up into East St. Louis north ofthe Cairo Short Line and Air Line tracks. It is fowing ina northeasterly direction from Cahokia and East Carondelet and is expected to reach East St. Louls to-night, though it may not do so before to-morrow, as it must come ina very round-about way. The Jockey Club track isa sightto see, the second story of the grand stand and only the roofs of the stables showing above the water, while the Tudor Iron Works, not more than 50 feet distant, are perfectly dry, though on the same level, The reason of this is that the itiron- works are wholly protected by railway em- bankments. On the north the Cairo Short Line protects the mill, to the east the water is held in abeyance by the Air Line,and Movile & Ohio running in a southeasterly direction crosses the others, + see & a triangle with the mile on the inside, he worse are being operated steadily despite the ood, GONE TO THE BLUFFS WITH FOOD. Several Wagon Loads of Provisions Sent to the Hungry From Belleville, Great suffering among the farmers of the section directly east of East St. Louls Is re- ported. Numbers of them were driven from their homes yesterday, and forced to take refuge on the bluffs. Some of them found shelter in the homes of friends or relatives living on the bluffs, but many were out in last night’s ter- rible rain, with only the trees for shelter. In some cases they were even without food, They were in some degree relieved to-day, when two wagon loads of provisions were received from Belleville. Their distress cametothe noticeof Mayor Weber andother Belleville officials yester- day. Father Meifuss of the Centerville Sta- tion Catholic Church conveyed the news of their condition to that city. Mayor Weberto-day published an appeal to the people of Belleville to render assist- ance to the flood sufferers. The Mayor directed that all ooppee do- nated be delivered at the City buliding, at First and Illinois streets, and appointed the following committeemen to soiteit aid: ). BP. Fleischbein, Valentine Hobm and Joseph Penn in the First Ward; is Roedl- ger, Willlam Heinzelman and uis Graf in the Second Ward, William Junghaene, Philip Weber, Sr., and George Vogt in the Third Ward, George Kru , Joseph Richards and John Lorenzen in thet ourth Ward, Jobn Cooney, Mike Stolberg and Val Reuterman in the Fifth Ward, Chas, Hilgard, C.W. Harrison and Jacob Becherer inthe Sixth Ward, John Gross, Cyrus Thompson and Christ Knebel- kamp in the Seventh Ward. MAYOR WEBER AT THE SCENE. Mayor Weber and others visited the camps on the bluffs yesterday evening and found the sufferers to be more numerous than had been supposed. Provisions in the camps were running short, and great suffer- ing stared the campers in the face. Belle- ville sent two loads of provisions to the camps this forenoon, The ladies of the city were called roy to organize for the pur- ose of relleving the sufferings of the home- ess people on the bluffs. They met this afternoon to propane for their work. Two of them were delegated to visit the camps on the bluffs and find out what fs most needed. The provisions sent out to-day con- sisted mainly of cooked meats, bread,cheese coffee and canned goods. A wagon load was star out at 10 a. m, to be taken to the farin of George Claus, where a large number of the sufferers were reported to have congregated. The second load was sent on haif an hour later farm of Camlile Droit. According to reports received to-day, there are not ies: than people at the or farm a i town stood (ITY or Btace ri Winaied in two-story houses and remained in them, thinking themselves sate. AT EAST CARONDELET, Cnly an Area of Twenty-five Feet Square of the Village Visible. Yesterday afternoon Mr, W. Frank Sneed, Cashier of the Southern Commercial Bank, Dr. F. F. Zeller and a representative of the Post-DIsPATCH boarded a skiff at the foot of Nagel avenue and rowed over to East Carondelet. lll. Where the promising little there is nothing to be seen but the tops of houses and a huge body of water. The only dry spot seen. was on top of a bigh hill, comprising an area of about twenty-five feet square. The water extends back the bluffs a distance of four miles and is from ten to sixteen feet deep. itis impossible to locate Fish Lake and the River de Poe, Bridges have been swept away, houses overturned and - lost. There are not two dry houses in the whole.town, which has a population of 360 families. East Carondelet is locateda two thousand five hundred ya from the river proper and lies in the bottoms.

At 8 o'clock this morning the Ned- derhut warehouse, 721 to 7 South Main street, suffered a seri- ous cave in. For the past three days the cellar of the warehouse has been filled with water, whether back water from the sewer or seeping through the levee bank could not wbe determined. The surface of the cellar has been coveredtoa depth of four feet and although a fire engine Was kept constantly pumping it out iminished. ‘he southwestern por- bullding caved in rom The building was leased by Taibot & Loeschen and was used forthe stor- age of fiour and potatoes, paper pulp, rags and cement. The damage will be heavy as there were thousands of barrels of cement in the bullding. —_— NINE PEOPLE DROWNED. A Torrent of Water Sweeping Through Sioux City. Sroux City, Io., May 18.—The Floyd River is sweeping through this city in rag: ing torrents half a mile wide and 200 houses are wholly or partially submerged. It is known that nine persons were drowned, and it is feared the list will be largely in- creased. Ali the railroad tracks and depots gre under water, also all the pack- ing houses and many factories. It is the worst flood ever known here. Reports from the country indicate much other damage. IN ILLINOIS, KASKASKIA IMPERILED—THE LINN DIKE GIVES WAY. CHESTER, Ill., May 18.—The outlook now Is that Kaskaskia, the first capital of llinols, will be completely wiped out by the flood, For years the Mississippi! and KasKaskia Rivers have been wearing away the land near which the old town stands, and now the Water is inthe street. A very slight further rise will send the river through the old town. The citizens are abandoning their homes. The fioods of water inthis part of the val- ley have not harmed Chester, but are doing incalculable damage in the bottom lands. Shousands of acres of wheat in Bois Brule bottom are covered, and the safety of the town of Clearyville opposite this city is men- aced. Kaskaskia is onan island, which also con- tains the village of Kozaville. There arein all 250 people inthe two places. John Doza came inon the Crystal City early ihis morn- ing and said that unless a _ boat was sent up at once soime- thing terrible would happen. Many of our people have already gotout without their effects, but thereare others whocan- not getout. The Water covers the island now and people are living in corn cribs, their houses having been washed inside out by the . Onthe same boatthere were several excited men and women from Kaskaskia,who taiked excitedly in French. Doza expects to have a boat go up this afternoon and take off those whoare in the most exposed laces. Ue is also desirous of having the ve stock removed. The old town, which Is conceded to be the oldest settlement in Iill- nois, seems doomed, but it is believed here that all the inhabitants will be rescued, but they will save but few of their possessions. CORN CROP RUINED. GREENFIELD, Ill., May 18.—The rains con- tinue in their vengeance and farmers have given upall hopes of raising any corn this spring, which makes the situation desperate, to say the least. The lllinois River, twenty- five miles west of here, commencing at a little town rf 4 the name of Eldred, which is situated at the foot of the bluffs, is four and a half miles from bluff to biul? and still ris- ine. All the high points are under water and the last of the stout-hearted farmers lave been compelled to make rafts and save their families. About seventy-five thousand acres of land is atotal loss and 1,000 bushels ofcorn that was cribbed on the bottoms is Washed away; all kinds of farm machinery has gone with the flood. TRAINS ABANDONED. RAYMOND, lll., May i8.—The Wabash have abandoned all passenger trains from St. Louis going north and trains going south make their runas near St. Louls as possible and then return as extras. The morning ac- commodation arrived here ats o'clock and returned herrunati2o’clock. We have not been able to get mailfrom st. Louls or from the South for two days. ——— LINN DIKE BROKEN. VIRGINIA, Ill., May 18.—The flooded districts of the Sangamon bottom have dangers anew by the giving way of the Linn dike, about ten miles north of here, which has withstood the pressure untilnow. A great quantity of water was let into the bottom by Its breaking end several families were compelled to va- cate their houses. The farmers of that local- a have lost quite a number of cattle and Other stock by the flood. Two thousand acres of wheat and corn are ruined. CLERGYMEN WATERBOUND. MASCOUTAH, Llil., May 18.—A clergyman Feached here to-day by the overland route ™\ from Waterloo, south of here in Monroe County.

The Kaw River is also slowly rising, but has not yet ap- proached the record made by it last week, when it flooded the suburbs. These slight rises of the rivers are entirely local and in- dependent of the rises which are reported above here. When the latter reach here the Missouri River will probably reach to about twenty-five feet above low water, and the Kaw will record a stage about the same as last week. leavy rains are reported throughout Kansas last night, andthe Kaw itis againon the rampage in that State. Precautions have been taken to prevent a repetition of the damage which resulted from last week’s floods. It has been ascertained that the flood in Argentine and Armourdaie was due to an imperfectly constructed sewer through which the flood water Dacked up into the town. The sewer has been blown up with dynamite and it Is belleved that the water cannot now reach the town through it. Bat for this sewer the recent flood would not have affected Argen- tine and Armourdale, andit is not believed that the present threatened rise will do so. DAMAGE AT WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Mo., May 18.—The Missouri River at this point fell three inches Monday morning, but began to rise Monday night and continued to do so all yesterday. All the lowlands opposite Washington are _ sub- merged, and untold damage to the crops has been done. The water has seeped through the walls of theengine house at the water- works and is between three and four feet deep, thus preventing the working of the engines. The ferryboat May Bryan has been actively engaged for several aqays past in taking people with their stock and house- hold effects from off the islandsand sub- merged districts of the bottoms. The heavy rains of Moncay night ana Tuesday will, it is feared, cause the river to rise more. TORRENTS OF RAIN, Srovx CiTy, lo., May 18.—The heavy rains of last night and to-day caused considerable damage, amounting to thousands of dollars. Rivers in this vicinity are risingand there is danger of great damage. At Huron, 8. D., rain is falling intorrents. Many parts of the city are under water. done, ROBBING ABANDONED HOUSES. ALTON, lll., May 18.—The river at this point is rising, but very slowly, and it is believed that it will fallto-day. Mails are delayed on account of trouble with the trains. Thieves have been taking advantage of the abandon- ment of houses in the neighborhood, and many have been ransacked. Patrol parties have been organized and will guard the flooded districts. Twomen came to this city with aie skiff load of corn, for the possession of which they could not account in a satisfactory manner, and they were accordingly arrested. ‘The refugees have been victimized toa consider- abie extent by speculators, who offer to buy their stock at low prices, $1 fora hog, and $5 to $8 for a cow being the prices offered. The Mayor has taken steps to warnthe fugitives not to sacrifice their property. itis not be- lieved that any lives have been lost in this vicinity. There are no trains running be- tween here and st. Louls. LABOR NEWS. The Stone-Cutters’ Etrike Spreading— Industrial Items. New YorkK, May 18.—The great strike inthe stone industry continues to spread to-day. Neither the employes nor the employers showed any signs of giving upthe fight into which both sides have been unwillingly forced. The members of the Granite Manu- factuers’ Association of New Engiand, who have offices in this city, again denied all the statements of the strikersas to the dimen- sions of the trouble, and the representatives of the employes were equally ready to con- trovert the declarations of the members of the association. Although the fight has only begun, it is said that there are’ now fully 75,000 men idle throughout in consequence of the general lock-out orders by the Granite Manufacturers’ Association of New England on Saturday. The number of men idle in this city and Brooklyn is said to be about ten thousand. It is estimated that about twenty- five thousand stopped work to-day in vVari- ous parts of the country.

The Book Combine. JEFFERSON CITY, May 18.—The article con- cerning the combine of the book-dealers, which appeared in the Post-DISPATCH yes- terday, was this morning shown to Hon. L. E. Wolfe, Superintendent of Public Schools. The PosT- DISPATCH correspondent waited po. litely until he had read it and then asked Mr. Wolfe if he had anything to say of interest tothe public concerning the several state- ments. He replied: **So far as the meeting may affect me personally is of no importance to the public and I have no desire to rush into rint at this time. There jis one statement, however or rather mis-statement, to which I will cali attention. The law as passed was not drafted by any commission. mission was appointed uatil the act.

Ri t LURED HIM AWAY. The Girl Locked Up—Shels Only Twelve Years of Age, but Is Alleged to Be an Old Offender—Mr. J. D. Lawnin Fires ata Burglar-—Othor Criminal and Po- lice News. Little Joe Gocking, the 5-year-old son of Office Gocking of the Fourth Police District, was restored to his parents this morning. The boy disappeared from his home, 2643 Olive street, about 9 o’clock yesterday morn- ing and Mrs. Gocking notified the police ofthe Mounted Station about an hour afterwards, but the matter was neglected and the in- formatton not telephoned to the other sta- tions until 7 o’clock last night. Early this morning a colored girl named Lottie Henderson appeared at the Gocking residence with the lostchild. She said that a colored man had had the boy in asaloonon Morgan streetandthat the little fellow was lost, She took an Interest in him and by question.- ing him learned his name and where he lived, Officer Gocking doubted her story and he turned to little Joe, who is a remarkably bright child for one so yodng, not yet 5 years old, and learned from him that this girl gave him some candy in front of his home and then induced him to go down tothe river with her and see the steamboats. He has been with the girlever since. Asked where they slept he answered in some hallway. All the little fellow said was afterwards shown to be cor- rect. The girl was held and Is now locked up at the Mounted District Police Station. She has told several different stories about her- self and how she came to kidnap the child. She sald first thata colored woman on Morgan street offered her $20 forthe lttle one. This woman was seen and she denied the charge. She said, however, that she wanted to adopt a little colored girl, and had. told Lottie Henderson so, but had never said she would pay $20for such a child. Little Joe wears adresses and when Lottie kidnapped him she probably thought he wasa girl. Sergt. Somers says that Lottie, although only 12 years old, is a veteran in crime, She abdcted a child once before and afterward restored it to its parents and and got $100 reward for it. He thinks that she expected a reward from Iit- tle Joe’s parents, not suspecting that Mr. oOliceman and a man who would question her very closely. Lottle was for a time ina home for colored orphans and is given thereputation of having been the worst childin the institution. For the past few months she has been living with a family on Biddle, between Eighth and Ninth streets. The hallway in which she and the boy slept last nightis at Biddle Market, not far from her home. Mr. Lawnin Fires ata Burglar. Two night prowlers were surprised in the actof making a raid on Mr. J. D. Lawnin’s residence, 3411 Morgan street, last night and given a race for their lives through the resi- dence section by Mr. Lawnin anda private watchman, Patrick Harrington. Mr. Law- nin’s residence isa large, handsome building, surrounded by a grass plat, and in the back yard on the alley is a two-story brick stable, the second floor of which is used only asa general store-room. Last Monday evening the private watchman saw a light in the stable, and, knowing it was never used at night by anyone in the household, he inquired yesterday morning who had been there. A neighbor said he had seen two menin the stable during the night but supposed they were hired hands. The watchman decided to keep aclose lookout for the intruders and at 10 o’clock last night he again saw the light. .He called Mr. Lawnin and the two went into the stable. The watchman had taken only three steps on the stairs to the second floor, when he heard the scamper of feet above and sawa pair of legs dangling before a window § in the alley. Mr. Lawnin and also the watchman fired a shot each at the legs as the form dropped to the ground, followed immediately by a second form. A minute was lost opening the alley gate, but the burglars were stillin sightand Mr. Lawnin with thewatchman gave chase. At Channing avenue the would-be robbers separated—one going north, the other south. A bullet was sent in the direction of each, and the chase continued after the fugitive running south. He darted into an alley as another bullet went by him and was soon lost in the darkness. Keturning to the stable, Mr. Lawnin saw the room over the stable had been disarranged and that the trespassers had made themselves comforta- bie there while studying a plan torob the house duringthe night. That they were fa- millar with the premises seems evident from the fact that they made friends with a large watch-dog kept in the yard, as the animal made no disturbance either evening when the men entered the stable. Mr. Lawnin does not think he shot the men, as no blood marks could be seen on the route taken by them. An Officer on a Tear. Officer Patrick Smith of the Central Police District was sent tothe Alexian Brothers’ Hospital this morning with a bad case of jim- jams. He fired his revolver last night at sev- eral imaginary burglers in his room at Mrs. Hannah McDonald’s boarding-house at 2420 Mississippi avenue, and when arrested by Sergt. Alex- ander and taken tothe police station he told a wild story of his experience atthe board- ing-house. He had seen Mrs. McDonald walking about withoutany headon herand two burgiars nad climbed up a ladder to his window and entered his room and had dlsap- pearedin amysterious way directly after- wards. The officer was locked up and was after- wards taken in a patrol wagon to the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital. George Pieifer on Trial. George Pfeifer is being tried in the Criminal Court this afternoon for stealing three carpets, a couple of lace curtains, some ol cloth, rugs and other articles from Conrad Farner, the Franklin avenue merchant who figured in a recent sensation, which involved also his wife, Police Seagent O’Donnelland the Hoffmans on Chouteau avenue, near Fourteenth street. Pfeifer was formerly in Farner’s employ anda he was jointly indicted with one Allen Nash _ for stealing some $200 worth of goods from his store. Nash was tried last May and convicted and sentenced to two yearsin the peniten- tlary. In the Court of Criminal Correction.

Slaten Discharged. Wm. D. Slaten, the negro arrested Monday night on a charge Of committing a criminal assault on a colored woman, named Lucy Nolan, was let off in the Police Court this morning, as the evidence seemed to indicate that whatever crime was committed, ifany, was committed with the woman’s consent. Mr. Estep refused to issue a warrant against Slaten. fre lives at 308 Valentine street, and she at 616 South Seventh street. Patrick White Sentenced. Patrick White, charged with burglary and larceny in the Criminal Court, was allowed to plead guilty to petty larcency this morn- ingand was sentenced to one year in the Work-house. He was indicted with John Malloy for breaking into Chas. Rebstock’s wholesale liquor store and stealing twenty- six bottles of liquor. Malloy pleaded gullty last May and was given three years in the Penitentiary. Harry Fenton Released. Mr. Estep refused this morning to Issue a warrant against Harry Fenton, the young man who picked up a ten-dollar bill just after it had blown from a Cash boy of Jones & Schreiber, bookmakers at the races, yester- day afternoon. Fenton denied having picked up the bill, but it was found inhis sleeve. Fenton was released from custody this after- noon, Scalded by an Exploding Kettle. A sad accident befell Peter Sneider, an em- ploye of the Provident Chemical-works, yes- terday afternoon. A steam Kettle containing 100 gallons of boiling water exploded, scald- ing Sneider in a horrible manner.

The second day’s session of the Episcopal Diocesan Convention was opened by divine service in COhrist Church Oathedral at 9 - o’clock this morning. Morning Prayer was read by Rev. W. A. Hall of Mon- roe, and Rev. Henry Tudor of Ferguson gave the scriptural reading. After service the delegates adjourned to thechapel and re- sumed their session, Very little business was transacted, but a great deal of discussion was indulged, the delegates showing a strong aptitude for parliamentary quibbling. At 10:30 o’clock the business session was called to order by the right reverend Bishop. The roll call showed twenty-one clericaland twenty-four lay delegates present. When the minutes had been read Kev. Mr. Hatch moved that the portion of the record refer- ring to the matter of printing Rev.Dr. Davis’ sermon which created a stir at yester- day’s meeting be expunged. The amend- ment was carried and the minutes approved. The Bishop then announced the following standing committees of the dlo- cese for the ensuing year. They are as fol- lows: Lay credentials, Rev. W. A. Halet, Rev. E. M. Deane, F, E. McManees. Admission of new parishes, Rev. CO. Davis, Rev. 8S. H. Greene, H. C. Sheetz. Constitutionand Canons—Rev. M. Schuyler, D. D., Rev. F. B. Sheetz, Rev. J.

P. Ingraham, D. D., Rev. R. A. Holland, D. D., Rev. Wm. Short, A. A. Lesueur, Wm. Bagnall. Missionaries’ Traveling Expenses: Tuckerman, Rev. J. W. Higson, Blair. Wallace Delafield read the financial condition of the Diocese. It showed Dioces- an receipts of $6,290.55anda balance on hand of $775.57 after expenses were paid. The as- sets are $1,460.96 with abilities $1,167. The delinquent parishes are, Hannibal, $50; St. George’s, $250; St. James, $20; Advent, $7.50. Dr. Robert objected strenuously. to putting Advent Church on the roll of delinquents, as they had paid upto the time they went out of existeace., The matter was not changed. Mr. Delafield then read thereportof the theological educational funda, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Finance, The reportonthe aged and infirm clergy fund evoked a prolonyed discussion. The committee asked for instructions from the convention whether they could use the principal of the fund as there was not enough income to provide for two urgent cases. Dr. Ingraham moved thatthe committee be authorized to distribute any portion of the fund as they saw fit. Dr. Robert deprecated the of allowing the fun to cut into. He moved asa substitute that on account ofa present emergency the sum of $350 needed, Dr. Holland arguedin favor of leaving the Canon unchanged. He moved that Canon Davis be instructed to solicit sub- scriptions to meet the emergency. The mat- ter was discussed generally. Rev. F. B. Sheetz moved to lay the whole matter on the table. The motion was lost and Dr. Holland’s motion was called up and carried. . Canon Davis then, in answer to the com- mittee’s request for instruction, moved the adoption of the following: Whereas, The trustees of the Aged and Infirm Clergy Fund have asked instruction of the conven- tion as to the manner of making appropriations from the fund: Resolved, That the trustees be inst:ucted to use the Christmas offerings which are taken for that fund for any relief that may at that time or for three months thereafter be needed, and if none be needed at the expiration of said three months, that it be placed to the fund, but the invested fund be noi used, Rev. Wm. Short moved to refer the reso- lution to Board of Trustees of the fund, but Bishop Tuttle declared the motion out of order, as it would be discourteous to the committee, as they had already taken action and asked for instructions. A prolonged dls- cussion followed, participated in by Drs. Holland, Short, Reed, Canon Davis and Mr. W. R. Donaldson. On motion of Mr. Donald- son the matter was finally referred for in- vestigation to the Committee on Constitu- tions ana Canons, The order of the day was then taken up and the report of the Committee on Constitutions and Canons read and discussed by sections. Noon hour intervened before the business was finished. This afternoon after the re- port had been adopted the standing gom- mittee of the diocese was elected, and also delegates to the general convention at Balti- more next October. Pledges were then given by each parish for Diocesan Missions and the convention adjourned for the day, This evening a monster missionary meeting will be held at the Cnurch of the Holy Com. munion, Twenty-elghth street and Wash- ington avenue. Addresses will be made by Revs. Short, Reed and Tuckermann, MAYOR HARDWICK G,. Rev. Jas. idea be Expresses His Views About St. Louis Real Estate. Ex-Mayor Hardwick of St. Joe, one of the most successful of all great Western rea estate speculators, is in thecity looking at property witha view toinvesting on a large scale. His Honor was seeninthe rotunda of the Southern Hotel last evening just as he alighted from an open park wagon from an extensive inspection tour of the west and southwestern residence localities. Mayor Hardwick isan old friend of the reporter, and he hailed the scribe heartily with the re- mark: ‘‘I have been looking at St. Louis; you have gota wonderful city here. lhave been down inthe Oompton Hill, Shaw’s Garden and Tower Grove Park regions. Every house down there looks like It is new, andIshould say excavation had been com. menced and building material is on the ground forat leastone thousand more new houses.

It has become so weil knowrm to your people, they do not properly appreciate its value. If they did, property surrounding it would not be seliing so cheap.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS. Cleveland Hasthe Call in the State Con- vention. ATLANTA, Ga., May 18.—The Cleveland and anti-Cleveland forces were astirat an early hour this morning. The anti-Cleveland dele- gates met during the forenoon and M. Smith of Ogle- J. M. Dupree of Bibb, Evan Powell, Fulton, and Patrick Walsh of ‘Rich. mondas their candidates for delegates-at- large to the national convention. The Cleve- land delegates were Dupont Fuerry of Bibb, A.

Chairman Atkinson of the State Central Committee called the convention to order promptly at 12 o’clock and urged the elegates to be harmonious, conciliatory and conservative in the action of the day. He said: The trouble which affects and per- plexes us now Is due to the fact that we have ceased to call attention to the fact that in the coming contest'the great question of tariff? must be the question upon which the battle is to be fought.

The book dealers are entitled to a fair profit, but it should come out of the large profits of the publishers, not the pockets of the people. Whey can cut as deeply in that direction as they please. WHat consideration prevents Col. Jonah from publishing the information he claims to have about alleged schemes of FRANCIS and MArFFitt? The interests of the Demo- Cratic party and of the people demand that political schemes for selfish ends should be exposed. Yet Col. Jonah, although threatening to speak out, has become as fMmute as a clam on the subject. Does he know nothing at all, or too much? AN appeal for aid came last night from the American bottoms, where hundreds of driven from their homes by the flood were without shelter and were suffer- me, A ing for food. The Post-DisPaToH met their call for help to-day by sending repre- ~~ Sentatives to the spot with supplies for the Gistressed people. This shows how great is the need for means of immediate relief fn order that the flood sufferers may be + Tue bridge company has taken car loads of coin from sight-seers during the big rise er fn the river, and,the influx of gate money for this show continues, The addition of © «fle Goncord tothe show will probably it the company has ever had.

HELP THE UNFORTUNATE. The work of rescue and relief in behalf of the flood sufferers for which the Post- DisPAtTcH has asked the aid of charitable people, is becoming more pressingly im- portant. The flood situation is steadily growing worse. The rains continue and the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers are rising. This means wider devastation by the spreading waters, increased desolation and danger of death in the submerged districts. The sufferers who are clinging desperately to their homes and remnant of possessions must be removed and pro- vided with food and shelter. The list of unfortunates deprived of their means of living is becoming larger every day. The condition of these people is distress- ing in the extreme. They are in most cases absolutely destitute. Many of them were miserably poor before the flood came, and it deprived them of shelter, food, clothing and means of employment. The men can do nothing, and with the helpless women andchildren are shivering and starving out of doors. Unless immediate relief is afforded by others many will die of ex- posure and hunger. The fact that numbers of them areinthinly populated farming districts where no relief or charitable or- ganizations exist, makes it imperative that help be sent to them at once. The Post-DiIspatcuH flood relief steamer Percy Swain is enlistedin the cause of these sufferers. All expense of maintaining the boatin the work of rescue and relief is borne by the Post. DISPATCH, and every additional cent contributed by others to the Post-DisPpaTcH Flood Relief Fund will be devoted to relieving the necessities of flood victims. Few ofthe thousands whose hearts are DISPATCH will see isapplied to the best ad- vantage. AN EMBARRASSED ORGAN. Those ‘‘far-reaching political and finan- cial schemes that were behind the recent attempt of the Francis-Maffitt combine to gobble up the St. Louis delegations,’’ must have been exceptionally and dread- fully wicked and dangerous to repel such a trading combination as that which was formed by the .Boss Phelps ring of rail- road attorneys with Mayor NOONAN and the editor of the Noonan organ. Yet the organ, after making a very dis- tinct threatto expose those schemes, further provoked bythe PostT-DISPATcCH, still withholds the information it claimed invitation and provocation that can be offered. The publichasa right to know and is eager to learn whatconcealed and unsuspected ‘‘political and financial schemes’’ on the part of the Governor and Chairman MAFFITT were denied admission to the boodlers’ ark andso shocked the virtue of NOONAN and PHELPs that they rejected the addition to their contraband- cargo rather than have the assistance of Governor and Chairman in landing it without opposition. Now, the alleged Democratic organ has again and again branded our Democratic Mayor as the representative of all that is dishonest, corrupt and dangerous in our politics, and when it tells usthatit sup- ports his combination to control the party in the city and State because the alterna- tive would be the support of worse ‘‘ politi- cal and financial schemes behind the Francis-Maffitt combine,’’ the public gets an idea that there is something awlully rotten behind Governor and the Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and the first duty of the organ to public and party is to tell what that something is. Demo- crats, especially, should not be asked or expected to further the known schemes of the Phelps-Noonan combination until they are convinced that the alternative is worse and the party predicament desperate indeed. Not to impart this information after threatening the Governor and Chairman MAFFITT with an exposure is to confess that the organ’s threat was either a suc- cessful blackmailing operation, ora false and slanderous innuendo against Demo- crats at whose feet, as occupants of high positions in the party and State, itre- cently fawned for favors. ~~ — Tuer Post-DispatcH Flood Relief Fund was started off to-day with handsome con- tributions, every cent of which will be ap- plied to the needs of flood sufferers. The _Post-DIsPATOH does not ask the public to assume all the cost of the work of rescue and relief it has inaugurated. It is willing to take the lead in bearing the burden of expense and labor. Its relief steamer, the Percy Swain, with adouble crew, strong force of workers and a fleet of rescue skiffs which is increased to twenty when neces- sary, isrun at adaily cost of $500 by the Post-DisPaTcH alone. This steamer is de- voted wholly to the work of rescuing and relieving endangered and distressed peo- ple. Through it the Post-DIsPATCH com- mands ample facilities for applying any funds or supplies placed at its disposal to the best advantage in a noble work of charity.

The poor families that live on bread earned down inacoal mine havea hard and gloomy life at best, and are en- titled to all the relief the State can afford them from the ever present fear of mining horrors. _ _ - THROUGH the courtesy and charity of Manager SHoRT of the Olympic Theater and Manager RosENFELD of the Lili- putians a grand benefit for the Post-Dts- PATCH flood fund will take place at the Olympic on Saturday even- ing next. The cause is a noble one and the attraction the most popular that has visited this city for years. The benefit offers an opportunity for the pub- licto enjoy a most delightful entertain- ment and at the same tine aid a great work of charity. The theater should be packed on that night. THE opponents of President HARRISON must be in desperate straits when they place their hopes upon Mr. BLAIN®’s di- gestion. The Secretary is notin the race. This is the era of small men in the Repub- lican party and no attempt to nominate a man with a big personality will succeed. | The descent has been steady and uninter- rupted from LINCOLN and SEWARD to HAR- RISON and DUDLEY. No bigger man than those two can now be induced to apply for honors in the grand old fat-frying party. ——————— —— Mr. Bland’s New Bill. From the New York WORLD. It is now probable that the Waysand Means Committee will favorably report Mr. Bland’s bill creating a graded income tax on large incomes to meet the pension charge, and re- pealing the. prohibitory tax on State bank circulation. This bill, if passed, would give to the farm- ers and other constituents of the silver ad- vocates a larger relief than they could hope for from any species of silver legislation, and it would give this reliefina perfectly sound and safe way. It would not add to the legal-tender circula- ition orimpose any new burden upon the Government. Butit wouldadd tothe bank- able funds ofthe country whatever amount the business of the people might from time to time require in the form of State bank notes, based upon the municipal and other | safe securities and issued under careful pro- | visions of State law. | It wouldatthe same time make a market 'fortown and county bonds, and thus help ‘forward local public improvements while ‘lessening the interest rate that local com- munities must pay by making a market for ' their securities near home where thelr credit ‘is known. It would lessen the power of spec- ulators in the great financial centers to dom- inate the affairs of the restof the country. It would add greatly to the banking facilities of the smaller cities and towns with which The measure has the approval of sound fi- 'nanciers of New York; it promises to com- mend itself equally to those in other parts of the country who believe that their prosperity is retarded by the lack of a sufficient volume | of currency. | men If the bill is favorably reported it will pretty certainly bring together in its support who have been the most determined antagonists on the question of silver colpage. Col. Ignatz Kappner. From the Loyal Legion Commandery’s Memorial, Not the least thing which can be said in his praise is the fact that he was selected, by one | ofthe ablestand most discriminating jour- nalists that the opportunities of our country have produced, to be the business manager of one of our leading daily newspapers, and he managed the business affairs of the St. Louis | Post-DIsPpaATCH during the period of its phe- | nomenal growth and prosperity. When ad- vancing years and physical weakness obliged him toretire from Dusiness and to seek a re- | cuperation of his exhausted energies in rest | and travel, he did not retire ona pension from his adopted country, but on a continua- tion of his salary from his employer. Itis easy tosay thataman who had achieved sucha sudden and distinguished success as /Mr. Pulitzer bad, could easily act in this gen- | | | | | erous way foratrusty business agent, whose vice, had contributed somuch to that suc. cess. Itiseasyto saythis; but, such being human nature, how many men act on that principle? Mr. Pulitzer had himself served in the Union army; it was not merely the gift ofan employer toa broken-down servant; it wasthe generous offering ofa soldier toa soldier. Whether we approve or disapprove the course of Mr. Pulitzer as a journalist, these personal traits endear him to us, The Fog Lifting. From the New York WORLD. In 1890 the Democrats of Missouri! declared themselves ‘‘in favor of the free and unre- stricted coinage of silver ana the increase of the currency to meet the legitimate demands of trade.’’ This year the Democrats of Mis- sour! say: ‘‘We hold that it is the duty of the Government to readjust the coinage ratio and keep its mints open for the free coinage of both metals,’’ etc. In the same way the Iowa Democrats two years ago declared for free coinage without regard to the question of intrinsic value. This year they declare for free coinage under conditions which shall *‘maintain a sound and honest currency of equal value in all its forms.’’ : These changes refiect the results of thought and the spread of education. They show how far, even in regions where the free coin- age faith is strongest, the discussion of the subject has opened men’s eyes to the Import- ance of making all dollars honest, of what- ever material they may consist, and to the danger that lurks tn the coinage of two kinds of money of widely varying intrinsic worth. That discussion is rapidly clearing Bway the mists of mistaken thinking and prepar- ing the way for a wise and safe solution of the silver question. A Sober Crew Did It. From the &t. Charles Banner. It would appear from an article in the Re- publicof this morning that the most of res- cuing the Mullanphy Island people last night was done entirely by*the volunteers from St. Louls. The Republic describes in glowing words the heroism of Mayor Noonan and his rescuing party, who, according to the half-column article aevoted to describing the heroism ofthe gallant Mayor and Chief Reedy, rescued the people afd their effects entirely by themselves, | " ‘\ be wine ° a 4 a 4 - 3 eel utes J 5 .

(No matter written on soth sides of the sheet can appear under this head.,—Ep. ] Protection for Baron Gottlieb’s Island. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Baron Gottleib, otherwise Known as the ex-statesman (?) Mr. Nejdringhaus, has been meeting with misfortune by reason ofthe flood of waters thatis now on. It seems he OWDS an islandon which he permits a few people td labor in order that they may live, This island is in the Mississippi, a few miles up the river, and contains 1,600 acres of land. Now why the Baron wants to own an island of such size when he himself can not possibly till its soll or otherwise put it to use, isa mystery to those only who are not initiated into the wherefores and whereases of the xreat fortunes existing; one of which Is sup- posed to be in possession of the Baron. But Sir Andrew of Cluney Castle, Scotiand, other- wise known as Carnegie, recently gave the secretaway. Heis reported as saying that those who work never get rich, It is only those who get others to work for them that get rich. iow the connection between Baron Gottliieb’s island and his desire to possess it appears distinct. Having got rich he wants to get richer by having others work for him, and what could one do to further these ends to greater ad- Vantage than getting hold of the land upon which those who do not get rich are com- pelled to labor that they may live? Asking this question answers it. But I forget the misfortune that has swept down, not only on the Baron, but those whom he graciously permits to laboron hisland. His island has been covered up tn a deluge of waters and his tenants compelled todecamp. However, he has a title deed to that part of the giobe and can look with complacency on the scene, and eventually the waters will recede and lo! his island will reappear, and those who never grow rich will be eager for the opportunity of applying their labor to his land that they may not die. It has occurred to me that the Baron ought to work Congress for a law pro- tecting him against a deluge of waters as wellasa deluge of cheap goods (principally cheap tin goods). He is one who Claims that protection beips him that he may transfer the help to the laboring man, and if turning aside or bjocking up the inlet through which the @eluge of cheap goods finds its way isa protection tothe man he employs, it seems to me the same effect would be reached by protecting his island from the deluge of cheap water that now and then sweeps down upon him, forit deprives him of giving work to thoss who want to live on hisisland, Byall means let us havea law protecting the Barons who have isiands inthe river fromthe deluge of waters con- Sstantly threatening. P. LEE. 8. Life Endangered by Bad Mine Inspection. To the Fditor of the Post-Dispaton: Permit the undersigned, a miner, to ask you to begin an ‘agitation ofa reform in the inspection of mines, so that miners’ lives may not be destroyed or imperiled by such explosions as that -which occurred at Clyde last week. In that disaster only two men were killed, but there might have been thirty. The object of this is toimpress upon you the fact that there is probably nota mine in Southern Illinols where a similar casualty is not ee to occur, It can be proved beyond a doubt that the explosion at Clyde might have been pre- vented had the mine been properly inspected. l was working there two years agoandI be- came aware that we were ‘‘tapping the gas’’ and I kicked. They told me that I was a fool but Linsisted and told them that we would all be blown into eternity some of these fine days. I kept on Kicking and they discharged me, About two months ago they had an explo- sion in the Clyde mine, which was lit bya safety lamp, and a man and a mule were Killed; and I am informed that week before lastthey ‘‘tapped gas’’ again—also lit bya safety lamp, and they sent a man down to brick up the hole, but. he was frightened at the quantity of gas that was evidently there, and refused to go down. Ican bring you plenty of proof thatthe mine at Clyde has had gas for many months, and was knownto be dangerous, but the in- spection was inefficientand nothing practi- cal was ever done to remove the risk. What has happened at Clyde may happen in any mine ip the State, and we ask youin behalf of the thousands of miners who read your paper, and whose Ilirves are precious, that you agitate to bring abouta reform. What we want the POST-DISPATCH to doisto clean out the clique at )Springflield, and put our Mining Board inthe hands of practical men instead of politicians, and your peti- tioners will ever pray, etc. Tayiorville, lil. AUGUST HENRIOTHB, A Epecimen of the Pension Frauds. Jo the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I herewith enclose for publication a copy of my pension certificate No. 369214, which, if published, will fully expose the Pension Office ring frauds. You will readily see from the copy that I am rated $24 permonth. lam sent every three monthsa voucher for only $8 permonth. Now the difference between a $24 rate and an $8 pay is a clear steal of $16 per month from the people inmyname. This species of ring stealing is done as follows: The Pension Office officials and the pension agent officials are both parties tothe steal. They arrange for a special examiner ora clerk of the Pension Office or pension agency in the City of Washington, DD, U., to per- sonate me with a certificate of the same number, hame and date for $16 per month that being just two-thirds of the amount of pension I am rated, See copy of certificate No. 369214. This species of stealing is being practiced in all probability on forty or fifty thousand pensioners.

SUSPICIOU] WOUNDS AND OTHER CII CUMSTANCES POINT TO FOUL PLAY. — #. Believed to Have Been Killéa fora Small Track to Be Run Ower After the Man the Body. The evidence taken at the inquest thf morning on the body of Louls Brown shows > thatthe man was murdered. Brown wase@ colored man about 60 years old and worked for Mrs. Joseph Winkle at Cheltenham. He was a widower, had five children, most of them grown, and he lived with one of his daughters at 16% Sublette avenue. Last Monday evening he went to a saloon in the neighborhood and took several drinks with friends and dis- played considerable money while he was there. The last seen of him alive that . night he was in the company of @ colored man who was a stranger at Cheltenham, but who gave the name of John Irvin to one of the menin the saioon, Half an hour later his body was found on the ’Frisco track not farfrom the saloon and about tem feet from the Sulphnr avenue crossing. His left arm was cut off and it was evident that he ‘had been run over by a freight train that hag passed buta few minutes before. There were, however, two cuts in his face and one on the back of his head, which iooked as if they had been made witha rock and not by the train. One cut was on his forehead on his cheek. The position body and the injuries to it indicated very strongly that the man had been slugged and knocked down and left on the track, where he lay between the rails, with one arm acrossoneof the rails, or that he had been purposely placed in that position. At his side were found @ pocket knife, with all the ciosed, and watch chain, His pockets had evidently been rifled of their contents, the watch taken and money taken and the chain and knife left there. A hat was picked up not ten feét from the body Inthe middle of the track, but it was not Brown’s hat. According to the testi- mony of one of the witnesses the hat belonged to the negro i Irvin who had been seen with Brown shortly be- fore the murder. Brown’s hat could not be found at all that night, but was picked u the next day in another part ofthetown. If a murder was committed, as the evidence seems to indicate, the murderer must have dropped his hat and picked up Brown’s by mistake and thrown it away again upon covering the mistake. THE TESTIMONY. The first witness examined was John Brown, ason of the man Killed. He ts 31 years ola, married and livesinthe vicinity of Cheltenham. Last Sunday evening he visited his father and sister at 162% Subiette avenue and upon leaving there, he walked to a saloon in the neighborhood and bada glass of beer with him. His father bad several dollars with him but just how much, he didn’t know. Witness left himinthe saioon and abont ll o’clock that night was notified that he had been run over by a freight train a few minutes before, The witness suspected that his tather had been murdered by a colored tramp who had besn at the house that day and who sald that he was on his way to Kansas City and was going out that night. This man went up the rall- road track with his father that night and saw beer. Ambrose Martin Rooney, a white man and bricklayer, was the first to find brown’s body after he had been run over. It was very dark, he said at the inquest, and he was walkin up the ’Frisco track when he stumble against the body of a man, HEARD SUSPICIOUS TALK, Then he heard a voice near the track and behind some sewer- pipe of the Laclede Fire-works say: ‘‘We’ve got to geta moveon us.** He at once suspected that a murder had been committed and thoughtthe safest thing for him to do was to get uway from there. It was so dark he couldn’t see anything and one of the murderers for ali he knew might be very close to him. So he gave a cry for belp and ran back down the track tow the saloon where he had been playing the cards. The alarm raised several peopie and then the witness went back and heiped take the body off the track. Rooney said he didn’t recognize the voice that frightened him away from the body in the first place and couldcn’t say whether it was that ofa negro ora white man. He ha seen the negro who wasat the saloon with Brown, but did not know him, He was very tall—about six feet—and had a black beard and mustache. Lioyd Ring, who works at the Laclede Fire Brick Works, was on his way home that night when he heard some one Call to Mc- Guire, a firemen at the brick works. H didn’t know what he wanted, but though something was wrong. He continued his course along the railroad track and ty soon step on Brown’s body. Then raa back to the saloon te telephone to the police, but they wouldn't let him use rae one, and then he went to the station and tele- phoned from there. Whenhe got the body had been removed. Charlies McKinsey, a muiatto Living at Cheltenham, was one of the mea to hel the body from the track. He said that wna was lying between tne ralls and that his left arm had been cut off. A ragged scalp wound indicated that he had been knock in the head with a stone. IRVIN’S HAT. He didn’t think the injury was done by the train. His hat was not found, but John Ir- vin’s was.

He also said he had been hearing for some time that the Colonel in- tended resigning his commission, but not for the reason given. Gen. Wickham sald: **T understood some time since that ata meeting ofthe Boardof Officers of his regl- ment Col. Comfort had been requested to re- sign for the reason that the regiment was not prospering under his administration of af- fairs, the companies being mere skeletons, turning out oniy from twenty to twenty-five men at drills and parades; that the business men of the city had refused to assist in main- taining the regiment solong as he was at the head of it. Itis childish for Col, Comfort to say that I have neglected the regiment on ac- countof the Colonel beinga Republican. I have always tried to keep politics out of the National Guard of the State, and 1am sure that all officers will bear me out In this state- ment.

He givesas one reason for his resignation thatit will be necessary for the First Regiment to have a Democrat for Colonel be- fore the regiment will receive any attention from you. As @® Republican who for five years served under you as regimentel commander and three years as Adjutant-General, 1 desire to say that in all that time no man could tell from your treatment of me that we belonged to opposing parties. Most cer- tainly Kepublicans have had no reason to complain in the National Guard of Missouri. I know of no branch of the service, Federal or State. where olitics counts so little as it does in ihe Missouri ational Guard, I donot know the politics of more than three of my captains, and not more than three of my personal staff, and these I have found out as a citizen, entirely outside of my connection with the National Guard. WhileI know that Gov. Francis, yourself and Gen. Moore allgdiffer with me olitically, 1 have received from you only the kindest reatment. Ivery much regret that Col. Comfort has seen fit to air his troubles, or imaginary troubles in the papers, as those who know the facts know there is no foundation for them, but some people who know nothing about the matter may believe otperwene . write this fromasense of right and fai feeling that Col. Comfort has by this statement ord an injastice to the National Guard of the State. and also done you an act of gross injustice. Sincerely yours, : ARBUTHNOT,. Colonel Fourth Regiment Infantry, N.

Five Hundred Men Take the Law in Their Hands at Chestertown—Ineffectual At- tempts Made to Save the Prisoner’s Life—A Black Brutein Danger in Ten- mnessee—Three Murderers Hanged. CLAYTON, Del., May 18.—James Taylor, the negro who assaulted little Nellie Siles at Ken- nedyvilice, Md., wastaken from the Chester- town Jail at 9:30 o’clock last night and lynched. From fifty to three hundred per- sons guarded the jailall day yesterday. Five hundred persons engaged in the lynching, some of them being connected with the best families of the town. They broke into the jail, putarope around the prisoner’s neck, dragged him toatreea hundred yards away and hung him up. The crime for which Taylor was !ynched was a most brutal one. His victim, the Gaughter of a farmer, was only 11 years old. A jury of inquest was held to-day and brought in a verdict that the man came to his geath by persons unknown. The little victim, Nellie Silcox, is better thisafternoon, but is still in a critical condition. THREE NEGROES LYNCHED, THEIR CRIME WAS THE MURDER OF A GEORGIA TOWN MARSHAL, ATLANTA, Ga., May 18.—Judge Lynch held court Monday nightina grove near the town of Clarksville in this State, and when the session was ended three negroes were dangling from the limbs of oak tr@es. The bodies are those of Jim Redmond and his two accomplices, Gus Roberts and Will Anderson. who were confined in Clarksville Jalil for safe keeping. Their crime was the murder of Marshal Carter of Toccoa, who had detected them in the act of robbing the local bank. The party had been organized to lynch them in Toccoa, but the prisoners were hurriedly run across the country to this place, thirty miles distant, reaching here at midnight night before last. It seems that the lynchers, not to be balked in their game, pur- sued on foot, having their numbers aug- mented as they came. Sheriff Gasley got news after dark last night that the mob was com- ing. He hastily summoned all the men he could get and had the jail surrounded. About 2 o'clock yesterday morning over 300 men made ther appearance and demanded the prisoners. Their number wasso great that resistance was useless. They were per- mitted to break down the doors and totake the howling wretches off. Reaching an cak tree, a limb of which extended over the road, three ropes were thrown over it, and three prisoners placed on horseback, the noose adjusted, and then the horses were whipped up, leaving the victims dangling in the alr. HOT AFTER HIM. NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 18.—News has reached this city thata mobof sixty citizens had organized at Tullaboma, Tenn., seized an engine and was preparingto go to Man- chester totake a negro from the jall and lynch him. At2o’cluck yesterday morning the negro was discovered in the 0bed- room of the daughter of Col. W.C. Baird, the Post-office Inspector. The young lady screamed andthe negrofied. Itis supposed hisintention wasto commita criminal as- sault upon Miss Baird. The information 13 thatthe negrois doomed. ‘The jail can be easily broken intoasitisanordinary frame structure.

He showed fight and fired on the crowd with a Winchester. John Fell was seriously and probably fatally woundea, The entire county is in a state of turmoil and more bloodshed ts likely to follow. The anti- white cap feeling is spreading, but the white caes declare that they will have revenge at all costs. STAGE ROBBED. Fort Ross, Cal., May 18.—Two burglars broke open a gun store here yesterday and with stolen weapons held up the stage in Turner Canyon, There were five passeng- ers and the robbers relieved them of all their valuables. They shook the Wells Fargo box and believing that there was nothing init worth taking, tossed it back tothe driver. This is a route that has been exempt from the operations of highwaymen and the hold-up is thought to indicate the presence of desper- ate criminais from other part of the State. There was no resistance offered and no shots fired. The passengers were deprived of the money and valuables they possessed. PADDED THE MAILS. Des Moines, lo., May 18.—The caseof the Government against John C. Newton, the millionaire president of the Des Moines & Kansas City Rallway Co., has begun and the work of completing the jury was concluded tthe end of the day’s proceedings yester- ay. The charge against Newton is that of oo to defraud the Government by d ing the mails during a period designated the Government to have all mails weighed onraliway routes forthe purpose of fixing the compensation and amount of money that should be thereafter paid by the United States thecompanies. THE WELLMAN MURDER. Doveras, Wyo., May 18.—Although many conflicting stories have been told in regard to the killing of Wellman, the foremanof the Hoe ranch, itis positively known now that the murder was done from ambush andthat a@party of three participated in the affair. This is proven by the footprints afterwards discovered by Sheriff Angusand posse.

The sale of the premises fronting 28%x 127% feet on the east side of Seventh street, next south of the fire engine house, between Olive and Pine streets for $1,600 a foot, has incited a good dealof gossip about the pro- jected improvement of the northwest quarter of that city block with an extensive store and office building. The 25x58 feet at the south- east corner of Olive and Seventh streets Is a ninety-nine year lease Mississippi Valiey Trust Co., with the privilege of purchasing the property at any time during the frst ten years’ term of the lease. It is said the Mis- sissippi Valley Trust Co. secured this com- manding corner with a view to getting enough other adjoining property to make an extensive improvement. In order tocarry out this plan it became necessary to buy ad- posayas property in the rear, as _ the ots fronting on Olive street have only adepth of fifty-eight feet, too shallow for a large building. Next to the corner of Seventh street, Caroline Pettus ownsa fromtage of 88 feet on Olive street; then comes John Louderman with buildings and 40 feet more ground, and at the corner of the alley, dividing the block between Sixth and Seventh streets, the property is owned by Frances Rozier. Each parcel has a depth of only 58 feet, extending back tothe engine house, with its frontage on Seventh, and extending back east 27% feet to the alley. Next south of the fire engine-house on Seventh, isthe premises of Jobn North, fronting 28% by a depth of 1274 feet, sold for $1,600a foot, and then comes the property 264ex127'9 of Evans Casselberry, recently deceased, whose will provides that the premises may be leased for ninety-nine years, but shall not besold. The original plan was to get possession of all these prop- erties, having an aggregate frontage of 127% feet on the south line of Olive street and about 200 on the east side of Seventh street. To that end it has been said options were secured some time ago to purchase the Olive street frontage Uescribed, and that negotiations were to be instituted with the city for the purchase of its engine house premises. ‘The sale of the remises next south of the engine house has ed to an exposition of the whole scheme con- templated and it is hoped thatit will be suc- cessfully carried out,as the improvement sug- gested would be a grand one, of much benefit to the locality, where several other fine bulld- ings, with the Mercantile Club pow under way,are to be commenced in the near future, OTHER SALES OF THE DAY.

The Cruiser Will Start From Cairo to New Orleans—Tugs Will Be Furnished to Help the Steamer Through the Ugly Points in the River if Necessary—Final Decision Not to Bring the Conoord to St. Louis. The great subject of discussion on the Mer- chants’ Exchange to-day was the probable visit of the Concord. At 10 o’clock this morn- President Isaac M. Mason received a telegram from Secretary of the Navy B. F. Tracy. The telegram was sent last night, but was not re- ceived until this morning. It ranas follows: WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17. Capt. IT.

When this news was received there was great jubilation, asit was regarded as as- suring the presence of the warship in this port. Soon after, however, this feellng was changed by the receipt of the following dis- patch: WASHINGTON, D.C. Geo. Hf. Morgan, St. Louis, Mo.: Have this moment left Secretary Tracy. He showed me a telegram just received from Com- mander White and the pilot of the Concord. strongly advising ngpines going to St. Louts.

Clearances will chartered for grain, r* be large. President C. D. Hammill of the Chicago Board & Trade had the following from Berlin yesterday: Parliament Committee in Germany has jusé re aan on subject of:option trading as fellows: That no legislation is necessary; that, in fact, option trading is beneficia]; that to stop ft by law would lead to unfortunate results. Prof. G. E. Morrow, President oe the University of lllinois Agricultural 8 Station, has just issued a bulletin which says, im substance: The situatien as regards thecorncrop for 1892 is serious in Illinois as well as in other corn growing States, Not for many years has there been so small an acreage planted in Lilinois at the corresponding date as now. Opinions vary materially as to the prospect ofa crop of spring wheat maturing when put in so late. says a Minneapolis report. Of course the whole matter will pow depend uponthe seasonableness of the weather during the summer and the time at which the first frost shall arrive. If frost shall strike the three great Northwestern wheat States at any time before the end of August, the crop now go- ing into the ground will doubtless be too green for the reaper. A consensus of myseponn expert opinion as to the prospective price of wheatis cabled to Bradstreet’s as follows: It depends on weather and crop reports; meanwhile the French demand, which may cease within ten days, imparts firmness. The general Opinion (among "European authorities) is that the lowest price has been touched this season, although sufficient supplies are Cyt assured.

Prime's report—After enjoying one day of warm seasonable weather all indications this morning ate forrain.

On low prairie lands wheat is yellowand short from excessive moisture.- Very [ittle corn planted, A very full report from Northern Indiana says: No wheat headed out yet; from 8 to 10 inches high. W heat on high lands does not show the effects of rain, but some low fields look badly. Oats in very poor condition.

CHARLES H. TURNER, President. JEFFERSON BARRACKS IMPROVEMENT. Maj. Murphy Presents an Official Report on the Matter to the Mayor. Maj. M. J. Murphy sent to-day to Mayor Noonan his official report of the trip to Washington at the latter’s request. The particular object of his in- vestigation was the proposed Govern- ment improvement of Jefferson Barracks. He says that quite a friendly feeling was evinced towards the Barracks by the Gov- ernment officials and that the present ap- propriation for the building was $980,000. An item is now pending before the Committee on Military Affairs appropriating $175,000 for the erection of additional buildings at the Barracks. Hesaysthat after a careful ex- amination of the ground heisof the opinion that if the pine drawn from_.a certain map furnished by the Military Engineer of the Barracks, locating the quarters of the Com- Mmandant ofthe Post and the other officers stationed there, be followed out, the best results will not be at- tained either on the location of the buildings or the. comfort and con- venience of the officers ortroops. He urges that proper plans pe peomered by intelligent experts on the ground, aided by the counsel of the Commanding Officer and Quarter- master having immediate charge of the work.

The Russian Royal Palace Undermined by Nihilists. EXPLOSIVES FOUND BENEATH THE ROYAL BEDCHAMBER. French Detectives Employed to Ferret Out the Plotters—Reported Rioting in Mexico Only Trivial Affairs—Costa Rican Politics—Mrs. Maybrick’s Case Considered—General Foreign News. BERLIN, May 18.—Detalils ofa plot to kill the Czar reached here to-day and will be made public by several journals to-morrow morning. A week ago two French detectives arrived at the Gatchina and began a careful investi- gation of the place, one in the disguise ofa coachman and the other in that of an assist- ant cook. Two days after their arrival they reported that the whole palace had been found to be undermined, that the underground chamber beneath the Czar’s sleeping room was already half filled with explosives, and that the Nihilists back of the plot would have started the explosion doubtlessly the next time the Czar slept at the paiace had they not been frightened away by the signs of dis- covery of their piot. The undermining had been done Dy means ofa tunnel which led toa Rill not 300 yards from the palace, and which’must have been the work of many months. Spades, picks and boring tools were found near the entrance in the side of the hill. This entrance was concealed by a Jarge rock, around which the sod was laid so carefully as not to betray its frequent disturbance. The plotters must have worked at night and have left before daybreak, as all the surrounding country is carefully watched. This plot was knownina general way to exist, yet the Czar’s police were unable to discover its details, or even to fix its location cefinitely. The cellars and grounds of the Gatchina Palace were carefully examined, and upon finding nothing the detectives de- cided that the conspirators had not begun to act. The Paris detectives were then sum- moned, COSTA RICA, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES APPEAR— ARRIVAL OF COLONISTS, SAN Jose, Costa Rica, May 18.—Don Rafael Inglesias, the present Minister of War in Costa Kica, is talked of asa presidential can- didate in the next campaign; so also are Mauro Fernandez, Dr. Valverde, Ricardo Jimenez and Ascension Esquival. Reports of revolution in Honduras are greatly exagwverated. The revolutionary leaders, including Policarpo Bonilla, a re- cently defeated cundidate, have been re- quested to leave the country.

AN OVERDRAWN PICTURE, THE REPORTED MEXICAN RIOTS ONLY TRIVIAL AFFAIRS, CiTY OF MEXICO, May 18.—Exaggerated re- ports of rioting here have been telegraphed abroad. The factsare as follows: The stu- dents were divided into two bands, ‘*Re-elec- tions’’ and ‘*Anti-Re-elections.’’ The latter hooted anda yelled and threw a few stones. The police were sufficient to quell the disturb- ance. ‘ihieves looted tuy and candy stands under the Arcade and a few lamps were broken, The majority of the students are minors. They are being incited by a few demagogues who are anxious to obtain office under the Government. A few arrests have been made, President Diaz refuses to pro- ceed toextremes. He says the boysare ill- advised and irresponsible. Six persons were wounded and one was killef while resisting arrest. Seventy-six students have been made prisoners. The students do not exceed 400 and the number of their followers is even less. The merchants were frightened, but quiet was restored and business continues as if nothing had happened. In one instance the students attempted to annoy the police, but the troops charged, beating them with the flat of their swords, and the police guards fired a volley in the air, when the students fied. It is believed that all trouble is over. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. MAYBRICK’S CASE—WARRING OVER A NEWSPAPER—BRIEFS. LONDON, May 18.—Counsel Alexander Mc- Dougal, after consulting with counsel em- ployed to consider the case of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the American woman who is serving a sentencein Woking Prison for the alleged poisoning of her husband, has given opinion inthe case disagreeing with the opinion recently given by Sir Charles Russell and Messrs. Moulton, Poland and Smith to the effect that the rules of criminal! procedure debar Mrs. Maybrick from any remedy at law unless an error making her triala nullity can be shown to exist inthe record. In the House of Commons, replyingtoa question with reference tothe French shore bill, the Parliamentary Secretary ofthe For- eign Office said that when the Newloundland delegates, Messrs. Emerson, Moritne and Monroe, left the negotiations were unfinished, but Messrs. Whiteway and Harvey, the other two delegates, remained in London and they were distinctly understood to hold full power to continue the discussion. If it were other- wise the negotiations must be ended. The principal features of the bill, Baron Worms added, had been agreed upon before any of the delegates had left. The subsequent changes related to details. MRS. AFRICAN VILLAGES BURNED.

THE BOARD TO ABIDE BY THE OONDEM- NATION PROCEEDINGS. A Lively Session of the Board, at Which Explanations Were Called For and Given—Mr. Fisse’s Objection to the - Ratification of the Private Deal—Some Strong Expressions From Members. The exposure in last night’s Post-DisPaTcn ofthe peculiar methods adopted by the Mer- chants’ Terminal Co. in trying to get posses- sion of the property on Lebeaume and Hemp.- stead streets resulted in the rejection of the company’s offer by the School Board last evening, and the passage of a resolution in- structing the board’s attorney to fight the condemnation proceedings the Terminal Co. had instituted against the property. As stated last evening, the Lands and Leas- ing Committee reported in favor of accepting Maj. Rainwater’s offer for the company of $250 a front foot forthe property. Mr. Fisse moved that the report be not concurred in, and that the board abandon the idea of sell- ing the property and let the condemnation proceedings go on; further, that the Secre- tary, in conjunction with the committee, be authorized to sell the Sumner High School property. Objections by Messrs. Blair and McEntire led Mr. Fisse to simplify his motion to a simple non-concurrence. Mr. O’Connell asked him for his reasons in mak- ing the motion. MR. FISSE’S ARGUMENTS. Mr. Fisse replied that the property had been put up at auction at the request of the Mer- chants’ Terminal Co., they attended the sale and refused to outbid other parties and then came in with a private offer to the board after having first instituted con- demnation proceedings. The proceedings in court had put an entirely new phase on the matter. The board could lose nothing by the proceedings, as they were bound to get $250 a foot forthe property and perhaps the Commissioners would award them more, He was disposed to leave the railroad company where it had placed itself. Mr. McEntire inquired how the board had, been invited by the Terminal Co. to put the property up at auction. Mr. O’Connell asked unanimous consent of the board to allow Mr. Festus Wade, the company’s agent, to explain the transac- tion. In the meanwhile Mr. Bus stated that as chairman of the Lands and Leasing Commit- tee he had signed the report at the request of his colleagues but he was opposed tothe matter as he thought the sale to Mr. Crone should have been ratified. Mr. Blair then took the floorin support of Mr. Fisse’s motion. He said that the gentle- wen had a mistaken view of the railroad campany’s offer. That the board hada chance to make $6,000 more out of the prop- erty than by awardingit toMr. Crone. He said that notwithstanding the attacks of the ress the Terminal company was dealing fonestly with the board and were willing to pay a good price for the ground. MR. WADE’S EXPLANATION, Mr. Wade was then given unanimous con- gent to explain the company’s connection with the auction. ‘‘We were instructed,’’ said he, **to buy the property and whenl called on the secretary he sa ‘Wade, I know what you’re after.’ The nds and Leasing Committee passed a resolution to put that Lebeaume street property at public auction. Mr. Fisse’s statement that the com in any way fostered the resolution is made under a misapprehension; itisnottrue. If any member of the board can show to the contrary I am willing to step down and out.’’ Mr. aetedae interposed, and addressing Mr. Wade said: ‘‘A member of your firm, Mr. L. E. Anderson, came on this floor and asked different members, myself among them, to vote for the resolution of the Lands and Leasing Committee to put the property up at auction. He said the company would attend the auction and pay a good rice for the property.’’ Mr. ade subsided and the speaker continued. **The auction was plainly undertaken at the instance of the company. They should have attended the sale and outbid everyone else if they wanted the property. In all fairness the property should have gone to Crone, and not allow the board to be used by outsiders. Property put up at auction should be sold by auction,’ FISSE’S MOTION CARRIED. After a few remarks by Dr. Hickmann Mr. Fisse’s motion was put and carried, with only three dissenting votes, Messrs. Cudmore, liuttig and O’Connell voting in the negative. Mr. Fisse then moved that the sale be abandoned and the board’s attorney in- structed to make B eeper detense to the con- demnation proceedings. The motion was successful. After transacting routine business the board went into a committee of the whole, at midnight, to discuss the new rules. The session concluded at an early hour this morning.

Lobrum, Contrary to Law, Does Not Inform the Police. Supt. John ©. Lohrum is managing the Work-house at present in sucha wuy that nobody but himself, his guards and the pris- oners can tell anything about the things that are done there. The city laws intend that the Work-house shall be directly under the supervision of the Board of Public Improvements in every de- tail. The superintendent is required to re- port minutely tothe board everything that he does. Feeling confident that he would be sustained by the Mayor in his independence, Supt. m never takes the trouble to inform the Board of what is goingon in the Work-house, and never makes a communica- tion to the Commissioners except when he wants an appointment confirmed or a requis- ition approved. President Geo ge Burnet and his commissioners have not os officially expressed their resentment of this conduct of the superintendent, but they are likely to do so before jong. Ever since he has been in charge ofthe in- stitution the superintendent has openly vio- lated the law relating to the escape of pris- oners. It is: Whenever any prisoner shall escape from the Work-house the Superintendent snail immediate! notify the Mayor and the Chief of Police and she provide the latter with a description of the fugitive and a statement of the manner of escape, and if he fails so to do within twenty-four hours after such escape he shall be liable for the amount of fine and costs due from such prisoner. Supt. hrum does not notify the police whenaman escapes from the Work-house. Sometimes they do not know of it for days afterwards, and then they find it out acci- dentally. he last escape ‘from there was a case in point. George Sundlin, a man serv- ing ayear’s sentence out got away Monday through the negligence ofthe guards. Supt. Lohrum did not notify the police, and they had heard nothing of it yesterday when it came to the ears of reporters and they in- quired about it at headquarters. Nor had the Mayor’s office been notified. A reporter of the PosT-DISPATCH went to the Work- house, and Clerk Robt. McCormick said the guarcs had recaptured the fugitive by a search for him near his old haunts. Tbe detectives whom Chief Harrigan em- ploys in thief-catching work say that this disposition of Supt. Loh- rum to keep these Work-house escapes secret make them much trouble while Secretary James W. Brennan anda Judge R. J. Claiborne releasing convicts without re- ferring the cases tothe police for report and with escapes kepta secret for days after they occur, a detective does not know what to do when he meets a man who he knows should be in the Work-house ifthe records are to be trusted. If he arrests him the man ay show that he has been released by Secreta Brennan or Judge Claiborne. I he passes him by, he may hear the next day that the convict has escaped. Generally the detective stops the man and questions him. The other day one of the officers met a young fellow, who was just beginning to gotothe bad, and still had much goodin him. The officer knew that the man had been sent to the Work-house for vagabondage a few days before, and that he could not have served out his times, **Did you escape?’’ he asked him. ‘*You betcher life I did,’’ said the fugitive. **Dey put me to herdin’ cows by myself, an’ I jes tought dat I might as well be at home helpin’ my mudder ‘tout doin’ dat tree mont’s fur nothin’.’’ The man was sent back tothe Work-house, THE TWIN CITY EXPRESS.

They said they were quite sure no attempt had been made torob the train, but that the story grew from the antics of two drunken men, who goton thecar at St. Louls, intending to get off at Howard Station, but on learning thetrain did not stop there they pulled the bell rope, cursed and swore and fired off their revolvers, and when a passen- ger namea Gould interfered they made him throw up his hands. They jumped off at Cheltenham and fired several bullets through the cars as the train pulled away. THE Fidelity Storage, Packing & Moving Co. are prepared to move, store and pack household goods.

The governor belt of the engine at the power-house of the St. Louls & Suburban Electric Railroad broke this morningat a little after 7 o’clock, necessitating the shut- ting off of the current whilethe break was being adjusted. Afterthe road was started again it was found necessary toturn off the current three additional times before the machinery was gotten into perfect working order.

The Would-Be Suicide a Graduate of Keeley Institute. HIS ATTEMPT TO KILL HIMSELF As- CRIBED TO THE TREATMENT. An Interesting Description of Life and Treatment at the Drunkards’ Retreat— “‘Jags,’’ the Institute Dog—The Daily Influx of Inebriates—Has Never Felt Responsible Eince Leaving the Place. Alfred Rhodus is stillatthe City Hospital, recuperating from the morphine he took on Monday night with suicidalintent. He took two 10-cent packages of morphine powder and a 10-cent package of morphine pills ana it took ten hours’ hard work before he could be pronounced out of danger. Rhodus is a graduate of the Keeley Institute and attrib- utes his suicidal attemptto a mania result- ing from his treatment at that place. ‘*I had been ona toot’’ in New York’’’ he said ‘‘and my father got me to g0 to Dwight. When I got to the In stitute the doctor had me take of my coat. Hecut the sleeve of my shirt, and gave me a ‘‘shot’’ or injection, from a bottle which contained three or four different colors of liquors. The ‘‘barber pole’’ the boys call the bottle. They also gave mea Httle two ounce bottle of whisky. I said: ‘Good gracious! I want some whisky! I want two quarts’ This made old Dr, Biaine laugh. He runs the in- stitute. He gave me a bottle of stuff’ to take every two . hours. Four times a day during my stay I took the shot, as they call receivingan injection, and Ialso kept up the internal medicine every two hours. They alsogave mea little whisky three times a day for several days, gradually tapering off until the supply fnally ceased altogether. **I noticed ina few days after taking the treatment that my vision became very blurred and indistinct anc I could not see at allwell, It was hard work to read;a fellow could hardly make way with a column a day. Ifound everybody else in Dwight affected the same way. One also has twitchings and contractions ofthe muscles and your throat becomes very dry and parched, and you could almost lighta match on your tongue. The voice is also affected somewhat on ac- count of the throat being so dry. THE COST. **T staid four weeks and it cost me $25 a week —$100 in all—for treatment and $7 a week, or $28 for my entire stay, for board. Then mem.- bership in the Bichloride Gold Club cost another dollar, and the badge $1.50 more, It is a dull sort of town and the boys had to get together in some sort ofa society to pass away thetime, We would usually play cards in the day time and have meetings twoor three timesa weekinthe evening. The main talk in these gatherings would be eulogies of Dr. Keeley who had done so much forthe world. ‘‘While at Dwight, I did not think or feel the same as before I entered. I was so reg impregnated with the chemicals w an allucinations, peculiar and outlandisn fancies and grotesque ideas, such as I never had before. I could not think or reason clearly or lucidly. ‘‘After leaving Dwight, and ever since, I have felt entirely irrespousible for my actions, and have felt, as the boys say, ‘Like I had a wheel in my head.’ I cameto St. Louis and went on the road for a local litho- graph concern, I had ho desire for Hquor as long as the medicine lasted, and after it was gone my wiil power was sufficient to enable me to re- sist untill was at Memphis. I alightea from the train with back-ache and my head mud- dled and dizzy. Icailed for a cocktail—the first since leaving Dwight. When handed me I threw it out, resisted it, and walked to the other end of the room. Then I came back and called for two more, which I drank. Since then 1 have drank whenever I wanted, but liquor has not tasted as it did before. It seems to make me very sick. **On leaving Memphis 1 continued my trip, stopping at Birmingham, and from there to Atlanta, and when I was not drunk the au- thorities locked me up, as they said, formy own protection. Then I went over to In- dianapolis, where I was half crazy, andl tola people [ was going to kill myself. ‘*I came home and threw up my job. I have not been doing much since February. The treatment at Dwight left me irresolute and unsteady. Before I went there I was toler- ably persistent in what I undertook, but since thenI have been flighty and erratic. Ever since I left DwightI have not had clear thought, and did not know iny own mind like I used to before 1 went there. I have had a suicidal intent, and told my Obrother, Thomas Rhodus, Jr., when he came up from Memphis that 1 wanted tomake way with myselr. **I did intend on Monday night to take my life, but lam glad that I did not, and that I ain here now, but was sorry last night that I did not go, forasItold the doctors I wanted to go and show people that an atheist was not atraidtodie. My present determination now istolive. Thisisthe first time tnat I ever attempted to take my life, and Ilin- tended to make a success of It. ‘*We had a good deal of fun there; where you take 1,000 drunkards, and every day thirty or forty new ones coming in, it {s ex- citing, and one has amusement. Every day we would go over and meet the train, and you would see some comein very weak, and some very drunk. There was a dog which belonged to the institution, which they called **‘Jags,’’ although Dr. Keeley strenuously ob- jected to their calling him tbat name. If any one who has once been to Dwight ever comes back again from any cause for the same treatment he is at once run out of town by Dr. Keeley.

About two weeks ago be re- ceived aletter from a man at Chillicothe, Tex., See himself E. J. Hart. The writer said be had severalcar loads of good wool and*wanted to know what advance he could secure on them and on what bank he could draw. Mr. Crowley told him he would aa- vance 10 cents a pound and to draw on the St. Louis National Bank. A few Gays later he received notice that the First National Bank of Vernon, Tex., had drawn on hiin for $1,000 on a shipment of twenty-seven sacks of wooi valued at $1,500. The draft had to be paid at.once or protested. Mr. Crowley became suspicious and telegraphed to Ver- non and Chillicothe.

Too Much Time Spent on Foreign Lan- guages. New Yor«, May 18.—The College of the City of New York as an educational institution isa failure, at least socharge some of the mem- bers of the Board of Education. A meeting of the college trustees yesterday was a lively one and will doubtiess lead to an interesting investigation. ‘The trouble arose over a reso- lution offered to have a bill presented to the next Legislature asking for the purchase ofa proper site and the granting for the purchase ofa sufficient sum to erect a new college building, asthe present one was said to be inadequate. Commissioner Lummis opposed this measure, and said the Board of Educa- tion was doing all in its power to hinder pub- lic education. Quoting from statistics, he showed that during the five years’ course at the College of the City of New York but six- teen hours were spent teaching students the English language, while nearly five hundred hours were devoted to Greek, Latin, French, German, Spanish and other foreign lan- guages. At the present time there were iess students inthe higher classes ofthe —e than itn 1874. This was duetothe changein the course of studies. Less than one hundred pupils graduated from the college annually. he resolution was finally adopted, as was also another resolution calling for the ap- pointment of a committee to investigate the affairs of the college. MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Proceedings of the Council and House Last Evening. Ten Councilmen werein their seats last night when President Walbridge’s gavel fell. When the bill authorizing the St. Louis Transfer Rallroad Oo, to construct cer- tain switch tracks was read the second time, Mr. Cole called attention to the fact that the company was violating the provision of its charter in that it was charging trom two to four times its promised rate for switching cars. A resolution was adopted directing the Harbor and Wharf Commissioner to go down thertver with the harbor boat and meet the Concord when she comes tothis city. ‘he bill fixing the rate of taxation the same as last year was passed, although the Comptroller urged that the prospective revenue would warrant a 10 per cent reduction. HOUSE OF DELEGATES. Nineteen members were present last even- ing. Several B. P. 1, bills were read the first time, including one to extend the Muni- cipal Electric Light System. The bill extending the time within which the Forest Park restaurant may be built, was read the first time. Bills were reported and engrossed increas- ing the Deputy Boller Inspector’s salary from $1,200 to $1,800 per annum ani the salar- les of certain employes in the office of the Buliding Commissioner. The Council bill authorizing the harbor boat to go down and meet the Concord was concurred in. THE POLICE OUGHT TO STOP IT. They Have Been Here Belore. St. Louis Republic, Nov. 29.

Mre, Milne of Butte, Mont., Trying to Find a Trace of Her Husband. Mrs. J. R. Milne of Butte City, Mont., wife of the man who so mysteriously disappeared in this city last September, has not given up all hope of finding her husband, andina letter written by a friend to Mr. M. D. Chip- ley, buyer for Samuel ©. Davis, she asks if anything has been heard of him, Mr. Chipley, it seems, was the only acquaintance Mr. Milne had in 8st. Louis. Several years ago, while in Butte, Mont., Mr. Chipley met Mr. Milne at his store there, Last September, a man dressed only ina pate of trousers, an undershirt, a coat and a hat, walked up to Mr. Ohipley’s desk and intro- duced himgelf. Mr. Chipley hardly recog- nized him, but after a brief conversation saw thatit was Mr. Milneand that the man was evidently insane. He talked of building a store in Butte, to be made of giass of various tints and to be the largest building in the world. He also said he was about to import 1,000,000 Chinamen to level the Rocky Moun- tains and get all the gold buri there, Mr. Chipley gave the man some ciothes, took him to dinner and told him to callagain. That was the last seen of him. @ made in- quiries everywhere, but failed to find a trace of him, and he has been com to so in- form the sorrowing wife, r.

Ausrry, N. Y., May 18.—For the second time the State’s original electrical execution aparatus was used to-day in Auburn, and in the chair where Kemmler was experimented upon Jos. L. Tice was electrocuted, being the State’s ninth victim. He met death bravely and yet not with any bravado, and 6o0 far as human ingenuity or science can discover he died instantly and without pain. The execu- tion lasted but a few seconds, From the time the Warden notified him in his cell that all was in readiness until death was an- nounced was two and one-half minutes. The quickest rope execution in this State has been timed in tweuty-six minutes. Tice passed his last night on earth as quiet and collected as he has the previous one of the week, and his calmness and evident lack of interest in the exact time was certainly re- markable. The only allusion he made to it last night was when he lay down on his cot, saying: ‘‘lam guite tired, but I shall not be weary very long.’’ He did not forget his devotions, and as usual read a chapter outof the Bible. Tice looked as well ifnot better than he had atany time since his incarceration. He ate his last meal guite heartily, and when asked how he felt said: ‘‘Very good except the pain in my back.’’ At midnight Guard McNaughton awoke the prisoner and be arose and dressed. Then he was shaved. He said nothing, but after the operation was over he lay down in his clothes. At 5 o’clock Chaplain Yates and Rev. Mr. Penny visited the prisoner and held religious devotions. To Mr. Penny he said: **My back pains me, but soonl shall know no pain.’’ The clergyman stayed with him while he drank a cup of coffee and ate sparingly. It was 6:30 o’clock this morning when the wit- nessest who had previously viewed the appa- ratus, were notified that their presence Was desired, and they filed to their places inthe execution room. The same arrangement of apparatus was noticed asin the former exe- cution, but there was a largely increased voltage, and some of the straps to be affixed to the face had been changed. THE WITNESSES. Those who stood about the chair were: Electrician Davis of New York, Dr. McUort- land Remington of Rochester, Under Sheriff Bailey of Monroe County, Dr. Irving of Sing Sing, Warden Brown of Sing Sing, ©. M. Welsh of Syracuse, G. E. Graham of Albany, Pierre Purcell of Rochester, Dr. Sawyer of Auburn, Dr. Daniels of Buffalo, Dr. Smith of Auburn, Rev. F. D. Penny, Chaplain Yates of Auburn, Dr. Arthur G. Root of Albany, Dr. J. P. RuMleld, Wm, F. Lansing, Little Falls; Edward M, Alien, Auburn; Keuben Myers, L. C. Washburne, Auburn; Dr. OC. Fell, Buffalo; H, D. Burrell, Syracuse; Dr. C. C. Banker and H. D. Peck, Auburn. When all had grouped themselves about the chair, Electrician Davis pressed the sig- nal button five times and the rowof sixteen electric lights in the closet glowed brightly. He pressed it twice again for more current and then quickly switched it intothe row of test lampson thechair. The response was instantaneous andthe electrician broke the connection and took the lamps away. War- den Durston tnen stepped tothe door of the corridor of Tice’s cell and said: **All right, bring him in.’’ The guard said, *‘Come, Joseph,’’ and Chaplain Yates assisted him to rise. His face was ashen pale and every bit of color had left his lips. He said nota word, Sut took his cane and, without any assistance but its friendly support, walked into the execution chamber, He glanced neither to the right nor left and did not shrink as the Warden said, ‘**Sit down, tTice.’’ Not a muscle seemed to tremble; there was hardly a tremor of the frame, only the face devoid of the hue of lHfe and the downcast eye gave noticethat he realized the awful trial. Netther chaplain or pris- oner saida word. More expeditiously than can be told the guards affixed the straps, Dr. Daniels, whowas incharge, saying as the head-strap was affixed: ‘‘A little higher or you will break the nose.’’ The head elec- trode was the metal cap filled with sponges and brings the current to both temples, e opposite was fixed tothe calf of the leit leg. lt was just 6:38 when he sat down In the chair and at exactly 6:39 to the second Dr, Daniels, who stood oat in front, raised his hand. Warden Brown of Sing Sing hat afew mo- ments before turnedon salt water that ran from rubber bags through rubber tubes to the electrode sponges. THE DEADLY CURRENT. Electrician Davis moved the switch and the body straightened up against the straps, 1,720 volts were driven through it. For fif- teen seconds Dr. Daniels kept his hand raised then he dropped it. The body sank back al- mostimperceptibly. For three seconds the current remained off and during that time there was not a quiver of the lips ora move ofthe fingers. ‘hen the doctor signalled again, and again the body stiffened up as the current struck ft. Fifteen seconds it stayed so then the current was switched off for five seconds. Again the body collapsed but there was not the faintest sound and no emission fromthe mouth, Ten seconds more of con- tact then an interval of five seconds and ten more of contact. The man was dead. There had been no sign of respiration,there was no emission from the mouthand the only visible effect of the current was a ~~ teaming from the evaporation inthe leg lectrode of the salt water and an outer skin lister. This was not apparentinthe head lectrode. The second pe to the turning ctim had closed his own. drawn, the eyes were closed naturally and but for a slight blister on the right side of the face, caused by the hot salt water, the face was tuat of the ving. The witnesses filled out and into the ward- en’s office and signed the usual document. At 8:30 o'clock the autopsy was begun es Dr, Erving of Sing Sing and Drs. McCortian Remington o hester. It will be concluded about 1 o’clock and the result will be fled with the County Clerk of Monroe County. Dr. Daniels of Buffalo said it was instan- taneous. ‘‘Il used the short gene | car- rent and the brief intervals the shocks so that we could preclude the possi- bility of returning animation—not that I be- lieve poss is any, but exhalation of wind some that im n. ou will notice there was not the alight: soun e victim.’’ Warden Brown of Sing Sing most ¢ re was Chaplain Yates seed be fuinibed "Eeatne sates : plain to me were ho said: | "wat any was as good a man as in Alban the eeiee ee just pre- * m , when he ocemees family His war record bly discharged. war to Rochester.

Why Mrs. Alice Beverly Creae Seake @ Separation. , WATERTOWN, 8.D., May 18.—The famous divorce sult of Alice Beverly Crane of New York, against Walter H, Crane of London, . bas been rushed through and Judge Andrews is expected to issue a decree to-day. The case was a peculiar and very sensational one. Both parties are sclons of very wealthy fam- ilies and are cousins. According to Mrs. Crane’s story her cousin took her fora cab ride one day in London, and while In the ve- hicle he drew a revolver and told her he would kill her on the spot if she did marry him. She says she was too m frightened toelither consent or demur, but that he ordered the cabman to drivétoa church, where they were married with a iH- cense he had procured, The next day he was called toNew York and she did not see him again inthree years. She told her story to her mother in 1891, and an unsuccessful at- tempt to secure an annulment of the mar- riage Was made in the Londwun courts. Mrs, Crane came to South Dakota last November, and in kebruary filed a sult for divorce. DR. KEELY. The Gold Cure Man Makes a Very Fair Offer. New YorK, May 18.—Dr. Leslie Keely, in am address to members of the Bichloride of Gold Cure and the citizens of White Piains, said: **A Me has gone forth for the purpose ° breaking down my cemedies and their use, to the effect that they contatn. atropine and strychnine, which are both inimical to mene taland physical health. Now I declare most emphatically that there is neither atropine nor strychnine in my remedies, and further, 1 will say that if three reputable chemists whose honesty cannot be questioned, Ww meet and analyze my remedies for either of these poisons, and, finding them, make thely aMidavit to that effect, | will make my forma: ula known to the world.’’ Notice to Shippers.

JOCKEY GEORGE TAYLOR AND THE BOARD OF CONTROL. Sullivan in Perfect Condition—Tommy Warren Escapes Assassination— The Coming Slavin-Jackson Fight—Brook- lyn Shuts Out Boston—Racing at the Fair Grounds Yesterday. After Friday’s game with the Chicagos, the Browns will leave on an extended tour, which willembrace all the Eastern cities of the Twelve-Club League. There will not be an- other ball game here till June 16, when the St. Louis Club will play Charley Comiskey’s Cin- cinnati Reds. To-day the Browns wili battle for supremacy for the first time this season with Fred Pfeffer’s Colonels. The Browns have been playing in bad luck so far this season. Theclub’s weakest point Jjsin the pitcher’s box. Gleasonistheir only pitcher who can be depended upon for fair work. Of course the club does not play together as well as could be desired and could be strengthened in other points, but the men are improving in team work and it isin the box that strength is most needed. Witha couple of more re- liable twirlers the team might yet make a fair showing in the first championship contest. Brodie as a fielder is all that could be desired and has few equals in the business. Ifhe can only hold up hisend at the bat, no better man could well be secured, Caruthers in right field covers his territory all right and is strong at the bat, where the club is badly in need ofstrength. Cliff Carroll in left has been fielding and batting well andali these men areof temperate habits and easy to handle. While it is not such an outfield as Boston and Philadelphia possess, nor, taken all around, such an out- field as St. Louis had last season, still it is up tothe average. On first Werden has done very tair work, both in fielding and atthe bat. Stricker, on second, is a little weak with the stick, but has fielded his position splendidly. Glasscock’s fielding has not been whatit should beat times, but he will un- doubtedly steady himself, and when he does his work will be of the phenomenal order, for as a shortstop he has few equals. He is also a very strong batsman. Jack Crooks has been playing so stronga game at third that he will probably be retained there. He bas fielded the position up to the handle and has been hitting the ball. In fact he has done better work than Pinkney both at the stick and inthe field. Buckley is a good catcher, and with a little more practice Bird promises to develop intoa prize. Moran has not been given much of a trial, but with Buckley and Bird the clubis strong enough in backstops. Outside of Gleason, however, none of the pitchers have demonstrated their ability to hold their own. Breitenstein has pitched two great games. These, however, are counter- balanced by several poor ones, the loss of which are. mainly due to his poor work. He is peculiar in that he pitches a phenomenally game or a phenomenally poor one. This is probably due to lack of confidence in him- self. He pitches in first-class style until a few hits are made off him or his support happens to weaken, andthen goes to pleces. When masters these faults ‘‘Breit’’ become a valuable Dwyer, while he has done fair work, is suffering from the same fauit. “his seems strange, when the fact is taken into consideration that Frank ts a veteran in tne business, but that it is universally aa- mitted to be the cause of his non-success, is an assured fact. Easton has pitched but one mmwe,and while it wasa victory, it was not ue to Mr. Easton’s work by any means. On the contrary, had it not been for the superb support he received, and the terrific batting of st. Louls, the game would have been lost to a certainty. After Friday’s games Von der Ahe will take his club to Cleveland, where the Browns will mecet Tebeau’s Spiders ina series of three rames. From there they will move on to rooklyn, wherethree more games will be er pee They then cross over to New York and open upa series of three at that point, two of whicu will be played on Decoration Day. Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington will then be visited in the order Damed. At each point three games will be layedand the trip will be closed at Wash- neton June l4. From there the Browns will come directly home. All the Western clubs will start on Kastern trips this week and then return home and receive a visit from each of the Kastern teams. The latter make two visits out West during the first championship season and the Western clubs wiil make the 6ame number Kast in the second champlon- ship contest. YESTERDAY'S GAMES.

What an array of experienced and able men was there before the deaths of George L. Lorillard, Senator Hearst, William L. Scott, August Belmont and D. D. Withers! John Hunter, John A. Morris, James Galway and Pierre Lorillard are the veterans of the battle now, and heavy isthe weight of responsibility placed upon them, It is true that Philip J. Dwyer, Michael F. Dwyer and James G. K. Lawrence were racing nearly twenty years ago, but no one looks upon them as members of the Old Guard. They are still young in the eyes of turfmen. E.J. Baldwin and Edward Oorr!- gan count years enough on the turf to rank among the graybeards, but each of them lacks acertain indefinable distinction which will prevent their enrollmant in the ranks of the Old Guard. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. Only one favorite was successful at the Fair Grounds yesterday. The crowd in con- sequence went home disgusted, tosay the least.

Lew Martin, an 8 to l shot, was successfulinthe second race; Cassella, who closed at 7 to 1, captured the third event; Mary L., another 7 to l choice, won the fourth race in the handiest kind of a manner, and Hydy, the only favorite of the day who was successful, captured the closingevent.

TOMMY WARREN ESCAPES ASSASSINATION. FREMONT, Colo., May 18.—Simons, a faro dealer in the Buckhorn saloon, attempted to assassinate Tommy Warren, the pugilist, in the Anaconda saloon last night. The shoot- ing was the result of an old grudge. The as- sauit was considered an attempt st cold blooded murder and there is little sympathy in camp for Simons, who was severely beaten by Warren’s friends. THE WHEEL. Thirty-two entries have been received up to Monday night for the big Forest Park road race which takes place next Saturday. Geo. K. Barrett, the well-known Chicago crack, has sent in his entry by wire and the other Chicago wheelmen who will compete are OC, P. Root and H. B.

Fully twenty men are nightly training on the course, and allarea unit in predicting that with fair weather the existing record of Ih. 4m. 15s. for the 1742 miles will be broken.

ADRIFT IN A DORY. Two Fisherman Who Lost Their Ship in a Fog. New YorK, May 18.—The two men picked up by the steamer La Hesboye, from Antwerp, tella remarkable experience with wind and wave in a frail craft. The men are John Holstatand Harris Atwood, two Gloucester fishermen, who were picked up in an ex- hausted condition on the afternoon of May 13 thirty-five miles southwest from La Have banks. They had drifted almlessly about in their little dory for nearly eighty-four hours without any food or water. The men belonged to the American schooner Orient and got adrift in a dense fog. **We were anchored off the Banks of La Have,’’ said Atwood yesterday, ‘‘on the afternoon of May 10. Most of the crew were out in their dories looking after our lines. It was a clear afternoon, and there was no evi- dence thata fog was coming down upon us. Our schooner was Only a short distance from us. None ofthe boats were provisioned, for we expected to get back before nightfall. About 3 o’clock, withouta moment’s notice, a fogasdenseas I have ever seen in that place swooped down upon us. Itcame so suddenly that we were thunderstrusk. It not only obscured the Orient, but seemed to deaden all sound. ‘*All during the long hours of Tuesday night we rowedand rowed ina vain hope of finding our vessel. We were like bling men groping about in strange regions. The fog was so thick that we could hardly see a boat’s length ahead. Occasionally it would lift momentarily and then hope would rise with- inour breasts. But alas! It would quickly settle down again and completely obscure us and everything around. Wednesday morn- ing came, but we were still in the fog’s awful grip. ‘*Wednesday night the weather became quite cold, and it beganto drizzie. This in- creased our sufferings tenfold. Thursday morning the fog cleared away alittle. I summoned strength enough to hoist an oar and place a shirt on it as a’signal of distress. All that day we patiently waited for a rescu- ing ship, but evening came and blighted the spark of bope that clear weather gave us. Hunger, thirst and exhaustion had now seized us. We were in a desperate condition. Neither of us had life enough to speak. Wo simply laid inthe boat and stared at each other. Whatthoughts rushed through our minds it would be impossible to recall. We cared little then what became of us. Wet, hungry and nearly crazed for a drink of water, death would have been most wel- come, ‘*Friday dawned clear and cold. Our sig- nal of distress was flying, but hope had died. Not since we had got adrift aid we sighta sail or see a passing steamer. Neither of us had strength enough to move a limb. Speech seemed to hav® leftus. Our sight tuo, seemed weak. I prayed never prayed before. Silent, less prayers they were, for death or rescue. About #8 o’clock Friday mn ge we ssghted the smoke of a steam- ship.’’ ‘*The two men,’’ Capt. Mannes sald, ‘‘were almost lifeless when we picked them up. Neither could talk and they looked as if death had come tothem. We lifted them on our boatand spent hours in reviving them. Wehad to use the most powerful restora- tives before they displayed symptoms of re- gaining consciousness. Both men had a miraculous escape. They could not have possibly lived another hour. ’’ WESTERN WOOL INTERESTS. Call for an Interstate Meeting at Albu- querque. SANTA Fz, N.M., May 18.—In response to numerous petitions Gov.

New York, May 18.—Mr. Bailey of San Jose, Cal., who has been visiting Washington in the hope of stirring our Government up to some activity in promoting the Angora goat industry, is on his way home pretty well pleased with the result of his efforts. By Secretary Rusk’s advice the breeders whom Mr. Bailey represents will give up their at- tempts to pass the Dill introduced by Mr. Hermann of Oregon calling for an appropria- tion of $35,000 to set the Government up in the goat-raising business. In consideration of this Mr. Rusk will probably work. through Secretary Blaine and try to induce Turkey to ermit our breeders to a the two or three 1undred choice animals with their own money. Mr. Bailey now possesses 10,000 Angora goats, 1,000 of them full-blooded, and all sprung from an original importation of four. There have been no importations from Turkey during the last ten years, and the need of fresh blood is beginning to be seriously felt. It appears from the statistics gathered that the Angora goat industry now exists In thirty States and all the Territories. Six bundred thousand pounds of hair a year are raised here,supplying fine plushes for the Pullman Car Co. and other large consumers and yet the industry Is still in {ts infancy and we import ten pounds of mohair for every pound we produce, ——e SICK HEADACHE] tress from Dyspepsia, In- digestion,and Too Hearty the Mouth, Coated Ton- § _. gue, Pain in the Side. & They regulate the Bowels and prevent Constipa- tion.

Sore throat is the cause of more than half the trouble that comes from contagious diseases. The germs of these maladies such as scarlet fever, diplitheria, mumps, measles, small- pox and the like float in the air. They can be taken into the human system without danger, if they do not find an abraded surface. If they do, they enter the blood and swarm in millions. Itis well known that diphtheria can be taken froma wound on the skin on the body. It is par- ticularly noticeable that when such a malady as diphtheria rages it always attacks people after they have caught a slight cold. therefore, and your throat is sore get a bottle of REID’S GERMAN COUGH & KIDNEY CURE at once and take it freety.
