A I.I, US'DKIl WATER.

KANSAS CITY, MO., May 14.—The Missouri river is still rising. Ruin is falling heavily all over Kansas and all through the Missouri valley. The ICaw swept away a new bridge at Lawrence: Friday with two carpenters, John Kenmiller and Herbert Otis, who were finishing the plank flooring. All of Harlem is being forced to move by the watery waste, which 1» rapidly shaking every house from Its fouudatkra. There is a clianco that the river will change its course here, throwing open a great deal of valuable switch land that is now inaccessible on account of the course of the stream. The steamer A. L. Mason has been busy removing families, and the ferries have taken care of tlie animals and fowls.

From Arrow Eock, 100 miles down the river, news comes of the tearing up of several farm houses The family ol l'etcr Embery, five hi number, Jiving near there, is missing, and all are believed to have been drowned, .lames Cialvin, a railway section boss, was drowned here Thursday night.

Dttm»j at Armourdale.

In Armourdale much damage is done to property. Many houses are half under water and families are vacating them on the run. The water has backed up into the sewers, and this morning was running out of the catchbasins and manholes at such a rapid rate that City Engineer Ellis ordered the street commissioners to All up the sewers with sand. Wagonload after wagon-load was thrown Into the catch basins and manholes by tho street commissioner and his men and considerable of the flow was shut oft'. Shawnee park in Armourdale is to-day a great lake. The water is :i feet deep. The yards of the Consolidated Tank Lino Company are under water and the engine room is threatened. Operations ill the slaughtering department of the Phuenix packing house are suspended on account of the water, which is backed up into tlie building. Tlie water In the yards is running over the top of the fences. A portion of tlie Badger Lumber Company's yard is under water. No less than fifty families in Armourdale have been forced to vacate their homes.

In l*A\vrenee.

At Lawrence the Kaw river by noon to-day had risen a feet in the previous eighteen hours and was still rising. It is now 10 feet above the crest of the dam, a point not reached since 1S7S. Serious damage has been done, and a few inclics more will be disastrous. Water has licked up in the old riverbed above the city 011 the north side. If it goes much higher it will sweep North Lawrence. It is already running under the Union Pacific track, Men are at work at all points. "Driven from Their Honius.'

A dozen families living on the flats on the west bank of the ICaw between Central and Spitlog avenues in Kansas City, Kan., were compelled to leave their dwellings and their goods were taken out In boats and skill's. The flats are occupied by about twenty-five small dwellings. In Argentine several families living on the north side of the city have been obliged to move out. The electric light- and waterworks power house is inundated and the machinery was shut down.

LusHea at Other Points.

At Glasgow the Missouri anil Grand rivers have overflowed and the fertile sections between the Missouri and the Chariton, known as the big bottom, Is under water. Thousands of acres of growing grain and fine pastures are being ruined. The loss already, is estimated at S100.000 there. In the river counties down in Missouri the loss is estimated by a steamboat captain to be more than 8250,000. Arrow Creek has sent a message to this city for relief, saying that everybody is being driven out of house and home.

Mny Cbaufcc ltd Channel.

OMAIIA, Neb., March 14.—There is anxiety among business men interested in property in the lower part of the eastern portion of the city. The river threatens every moment to return to its original channel on the Nebraska side. The property is devoted to manufactories, wholesale houses, the Grant smelter and railroad tracks.

Separating the extanded northern area of the lake proper aud the river is space of not more than fifty yards, and this is being encronclicd upon with a velocity which will not require long to turn the raging waters in the channel cut years before the settlement of tho country. Already fully fifty acres liavo been sliced off mild gone whirling 011 their way to the gulf. Tlifl thunder of caving banks is heard at frequent intervals above the continuous heavy roar of the river, aud it is not an infrequent occurrence to sco hundreds of tons of earth, brush and general riffraff part from the solid bank mid go boiling into the water.

The prevailing opinion among tho men watching the earth-annihilating torrent is, that if tho rise continues the river must inevitably plunge through and over the ancient bed. The old wagon timber road that formerly swept completely round tho head of the lake ihas been utterly swallowed up, along •.with acres of tangled willows and undt ('growth.

Higher Tlmn for Years.

The river is higher than it lias been tiinae the spring of 1SS1, when April 25 it reached 2!J feet inches abovo low water mark. It is now 11 feet 3 inches above this mark and rising at the rate of S inches au hour. At this rate it will require but few hours to bring it 011 a level with tho surface of Fluronce lake, in which

event an avalanche of water would rush down this narrow valley and ingulf the whole surrounding country. Many houses are in the direct path the torrent would take in case the break is made and there is a large crowd of excited men gathered at the threatened point watching the inroads of the furious current.

Heavy Damage at Ht. T.nuls. ST. Louis, May 14.—Tho river at 7 p. m. passed the danger line, 82 feet, and is still rising. The situation all along tho river front grows worse hourly. Tho Wiggins transfer yards are 3 to 10 feet under water. Switch men stand neck-deep to throw switches and engines push loaded carB with long trains of empties between tliein and the engines in order to keep in shallow water and prevent the extinguishing of the fires. Tho Farmers' elevator is now 600 yards in the river, but is surrounded by dead water and in little danger, lly the gas woi'ks the bank is caving in and 100,000 bushels of eoko are threatened. Arsenal island is washing away. Part of it is gone and more is going.

At Brooklyn 200 acres of truck patches are destroyed. Chouteau island is under water, thus ruining .'i,500 acres of farming land for tho season. Gabonec island, 1,500 acres, is all under water. Carr island is inundated and the people living in all these places are dependent upon the neighboring settlements for shelter. The rise is going 011 at an inch an hour.

To add to the distress in North St. Louis two large sewers have been broken by the pressure of back water aud are now aiding to flood that section of town. From all the low points of the city near the river the people are moving to higher ground, and it will be many days before they got back again.

Situation Serious at Den Moines. Dbs Moixeb, la., May 14.—For tlie first time this season the situation hero is becoming serious. Tho Des Moines river and tho Raccoon river are far over their banks and have already made sad havoc with farm land and city residence property. The rapid rise of tho Raccoon Is threatening tho rest nente of the flat section on tho south sido east of Second -street leveo. Tho back water has filled twothirds of tho cellars and is in some eases up to tho middle of the first lloor windows. Dozens of families liavo been obliged to move out of their home to high ground. Along the Des Moines river tho situation is more critical. Cars running to the north addition are suspended, the track being covered with water. The only park the city boasts of is 4 foet under water, and the zoological gardens are one vast lake, lu Illinois.

BEAHDSTOWN, 111.. May 14.—Tho situation here is becoming quite serious. The Illinois river is rising rapidly and is doing great damage to the property of farmers living in the valley. Thousands of aores of wheat are destroyed and some live stock lost. This city is now upon an island, being entirely surrounded by water. A levee which protects the southern part is in imminent danger of destruction. Should it break about one-quarter of the city would be inifndated. Many of tho cellars are filled with water. The extensive barrel and stave factory of Schmidt Bros.,and the big ice houses of tho liusc-Goodcll Ice Company are entirely surrounded by water and the contents will be considerably damaged. A heavy rain foil Thursday night and it is probaVle that the river will roach a much higher stage.

A BOLD ROBBERY.

Illgliwavmen Relieve tb« rnymiistrr of a New t'oik tfanufuuturinfr Firm of •2,300.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 14.—One of the most faring highway robberies ever committed in central Now York, and which bids fair to rival the exploits of Oliver Curtis Perry, occurred noar this city at 10 a. m. Friday. Paymaster Royal E. Fox, of the Solvay Process Company, loft the oflice at about 0 o'clock with a week's wages for the men, amounting to 82,800. lie went in a two-wheeled cart and was accompanied by James Houser as driver. The money was in a small wooden box under the wagon scat. Neither of the men were armed. Fox and Houser had nearly reached the end of the Journey to the quarries, where the men were to be paid off, and were about to enter on a private road owned by the company when two masked men jumped from behind a stone wall. Each of them had in his hands two revolvers which thoy pointed at the occupants of the cart and ordered them to got out and give up the money. While one of th" highwaymen kept the men covered wllh his revolver tho other tied them hand and foot. The robbers then drove toward the quarry, leaving Fox and Houser behind. They went into the woods' near by, taking tho box with them. Tho Solvay private police force, Sheriff Hoxsie aud Chief of Police Wright of this city have detailed men to scour tho hills.

PESTH, May 14.—An immense waterspout burst Friday in the neighborhood of the collieries situated in the city of Fuenfkirchcn, the capital of the county of Baranyo. The huge volume of water inundated the surrounding country and poured in a great stream into the mines, Hooding them in a \ery short time and causing a terrible loss of life. The water poured into the mines so quickly that the unfortuuate men who were engaged at work in the lower levals received no warning of tlieir danger and before they hud a chance to escape they were struggling in the torrent which hail almost instantaneously Ingulfed them. They struggled desperately to reach the shafts or parts of the miues which seemed likoly to afford them a place of safety, but tho water rapidly rose higher and higher, and in a short time every avenue of escape was shut off aud the men perished miserably.

Many I,tve.q f.o*t.

It is known that twenty-two men lire dead in one pit aloue and that many more have lost their lives at other points. The water did not reach to tins upper levels and the miners working in these portions of the mines made tlieir way to the surface as quickly as possible. As soon as tho disaster which had overtaken their fellow-workmen was learned the survivors, with the assistance of many of those who had flocked to the mouths of the pits, mudo hurried preparations to go to the rescue of the men in the flooded levels.

ITALY AND AUSTRTA"ACCEPT.

Washington, May U.—President Harrison has received from Italy and Austria acceptances of the iuvitaii.m to participate in an international monetary conference. The acceptance of Italy is especially pleasing to the administration, as, cm account of its position as the head of the Latin union, it will influence the reinaining nations to join the conference.'-' It is now positively known that invilations were forwarded to all European powers with the exception of Turkey. Some talk has been caused by the fact that replies to these invitations were, slow In coming. This delay was caused by the fact that the invitati. uts were sent by mail, instead of by cable, as was Intended. The replies from the remaining nations will probably .be received shortly, and It is tho belief of those best acquainted with the progress of the negotiations that the international monetary conference will coiivcno about the 1st of July.
