IN GREAT DANGER.

The Mississippi River Is Still Rising Rapidly.

LOUISIANA LEVEES MAY BREAK.

NF.W OIU.KA.N*, May U. -While asyet no actual alarm is felt by the en^iueerh ant! the. more conservative citizens, all are agreed that the river situatior. in the leveed section of the Mississippi is extremely serious. The river is full everywhere and in sections extremely high. Along the northern front of this state it is nearly 0 inches higher that ever before.

r:

Afraid of the h«»vee«. "v/.-

The great danger is that some of the big levees In the country will break. The water has been high against them for a month now and they are softened more or less by soaking. .So far. however. no specially dangerous points are reported, and Gen. Comstoek. of the river commission, stated that the levee system in general is not only better than ever before but that the improvement over last year is almost marvelous. 3IorKHii7.it Is Alt (tight.

A report roaehed this eity late Monday night that Morganza had broken. This is the largest levee on the Mississippi, being 31 feet high, and the safeguard of one of the richest sections of the state. The rumor created great anxiety, and proved to be groundless.

Tim l.OKFT BY tin. Illinois ltlse IK Heavy. ViKui.NiA, 111.. May 11.—The immense volume of water which has done so much damage near l'ekin and Peoria is being felt at, lieardstown, where the Illinois river is 5 wide. Schmoldt Bros.' stave and "Heading factory was forced to suspend work Monday owing to the high water, throwing seventy-live men out of employment. A further rise of 2 feet will compel the Uoujan & Co. and llnjewcr liros.' flout ing mills to shut down. They employ nearly 100 men. The lurge Hay ice-house of lluzgoodell Jt. Co., in which Is stored nearly 0,000 tons of ice, is in imminent danger of being flooded, and a large force of men is at work throwing up an embankment.

DHIIIUKO In Iowa.

Sioux CITY, la.. May 11.—It 1ms rained hero for almost forty-eight hours. All streams are swollen and railroad trains delayed. The Little Sioux valley is flooded up to the point of last year's inundation. In one place the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road put in tw'enty carloads of baled liay to preserve the. track. For 40 miles south the Sioux City & Pacific runs through a lake. It is almost as bad for the Illinois Central between hero and Fort Dodge. Crops are in a bad way.

Iti MWsourl.

LOUISIANA, Mo.. May

11.—The

river

here is now 17 feet above low water mark, only 5 inches below the record of 1SS8, when the levees broke, causing a loss of over SI,000,000 to the farmers on the Illinois side. Stock of all kinds is in a perilous situation on the Missouri side, and in some places is being drowned within sight of the owners.

ST JOSEPH, Mo., May 11. —Late Monday night the big Santa Fe bridge, over the Platte river at Agency gave way and in moment was swallowed up by the rushing water. An hour later sections of the Hird flour mill at Avenue City begau to float by the city, bringing the first tidings of another disaster. The water had flooded the first floor of the mill, undermined the foundation, and tlnally toppled tho whole structure into the river together with 20,000 bushels of wheat stored in the upper stories. The loss will reach S40,900. llouts in Great Dcmuiul.

Throughout this and adjoining counties the only method of communication between many of the farms is by boats, and many queer objects are pressed into use to assist the voyagers. The big iron topics used for boiling sorgliam are a favorite craft with most of the farmers, although manj' are content to use tubs and fcediug troughs. In most Instances where losses of wheat fields ure reported the fields of growing grain have been literally torn loose and swept into tho river, leaving the subsoil bare. Many of the towns have been without mail for six days, attempts to transfer the mail from the nearest railroad point in boats having failed. i'Jiintvrfl t'lH'iisv.

MKMI'HIS, Tenn., May 11.—There is much uneasiness felt by the lower river planters owing to the heavy floods that are coming down from the Missouri and Ohio rivers. The water is now almost over tho levees, and with this increased volume all bounds ma.y be passed. The levee on the Arkansas side, opposite Lake Washington Landing, Miss., has a break 50 feet wide and 6 feet deep. The wator flowing through this crevasse will overflow about 5,000 acres of cleared land in Arkansas and more than that in East Carroll and Madison parishes. The levees in the Greenville and Helena districts are thought to be safe. At Lake Providence. La., the river is higher by 0.10 than during the last high water, tlfid in some places the waves dashed over the top of the levee. The flood at this point lias not caused serious damage save tho washing away of small bridges. West Memphis, Ark., is under water, and the ullicials of the Kansas City, Fort Scott it Memphis railway are giving the road their personal supervision.

Il*!ivy Snow )u Missouri.

MAitsiiAt.i.. Mo., May 11.—There was a heavy snowstorm, lasting about half an hour, here early Tuesday morning and the weather is cold and disagreeable. Very little ground has been broken ami little or no planting has been done. Farmers in this section are very much discouraged over the outlook and say that if there is not an immediate change in the weather there will be no corn crop this vear and very little of anything else.

AN AWKT'L.

IHSASTKK.

I!O-*T,Y.\, Wash., May II. I'v an explosion of gas in the slope of mine No. of the Northern Pacific Coal Company at this place between forty-live and fifty lives were lost. How many men are dead will not be known until the mine has been fully explored. The disaster is the most dreadful which has ever taken place in tho northwest, and it-s nature and the exaet'circutnstancessurrounding it will never be known, as every man in the vicinity was killed by its force. There were three levels of the slope affected, and on these were at work about fifty men. This is only a portion of the force, and how many were outside cannot now. be ascertained.

Wit limit Warning.

It was just 1:45 o'clock when the men on the surface heard a ruiuhie, a crash, and felt from the mouth a rush of hot air, then saw issuing smoke. The latter did not last long, and the work of rescue was at once begun. The men outside realized what had happened and took every known precaution to protect themselves while they searched for the bodies. A driver had Just come out. of the slope when the tremendous explosion occurred. The shock upset his cars, knocked the mules and driver down and bruised man standing 100 feet away. The report was heard all over the town a inilo away. llodioH Itocovcrfd.

The relief work was in charge of the superintendent and was pushed as soon a_s the after damp had been partially blown out. It was not prosecuted long till lire broke out. About the mouth of the mine was collected a large body of ivoiwn ar..'! children whose husbands and fathers were employed there. Two bodies were at once recovered. These men were working nearest the opening and at some distance from the point where it is supposed the explos-.on occurred. Most of ic men were 1,500 and 2,000 feet farther in the slope and in the immediate vicinity of the accident. There is no doubt either in the minds of the miners or the company ollieials that every man was instantly killed by the explosion. The names of those whose bodies were recovered are: Tom Brennau, Tom Uees. A. Pollard, John Bowen, II.' Campbell and William Hague.

Two bodies were recovered at 7:: o'clock. All were ti-rribly bruised, indicating that death was instantaneous. The lower floor Of the city hall has been converted into a morgue and the rescued bodies are viewed by large crowds. A sad feature ol' the disaster is that a large proportion of the victims leave large families and as they had not to exceed two days' work per week during the last year, many of them are in straitened circumstances. The scenes ubout the mouth of the slope were sad in the extreme, men. women and children standing about in a dazed condition. The pitiful lamentations of the negroes added to the horror.

All Illinois .Man

Among the men employed in the mine and supposed to have perished was George llrooks, whoso family lives at Streator, 111.

CatiKO ol'tho Horror.

The slope in-which the explosion occurred runs from No. 2 down to a point where a proposed shaft will be sunk and Is 2.000 feet in length. Several levels have been worked in the slope, and it is conjectured that the explosion occurred at some point on the fourth or fifth level. For the last two months there has been more or less danger connected with the work iu this part of the slope on account of the unusual generation of gas, and the management is credited with having exercised the usual precautions. Two air courses were, in process of construction in the supposed vicinity of the explosion with the intention of jo'-ning, and it is presumed that when the two courses met the explosion occurred.

Work of (lit. Itcscurrs.

All the miners in the camp who were uble to work have volunteered their services and men are working in shifts. As soon as one force is fatigued anotlirr takes its place. Coffee and refreshments are being supplied by the company, and tlie relief work is progressing as rapidly as sympathy and willing men will permit. As progress was made tlie frightful execution of the explosion became more manifest. Timbers were forn out for hundreds of feet and the whole of the interior was feai/ully wrecked. It is thought a lire was starts! in the lower level, and arrangements are being made to turn on the water us soon as tho fact is developed. The air fans are working to their full capacity and a very effort is being made to recover tho bodies of the imprisoned men.

When the injunction was granted it was the original intention to send a .posse of fifteen or twentx' deputy United States marshals to Johnson county to serve the writ, but it was finally decided to let United States Marshal Rankin serve the process himself and appoint the round-up foreman and ranch foreman as deputies'to see that the injunction was not violated.
