WOK AT SIOUX ClTf.

Sioux CITY, la., May 10.—The Floyd river rose from its bunks shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday morning nnl wall of water 3 feet high swept upon the lower portion of the city. An a result many residents lie dead boneath the flood and tlio city has

Buf­

fered property damage of over 82,000,001) The loss of life is not definitely known, being estimated at from 25 to 100, with the strong probability that the latter figures are correct.

The Victims.

The list of the dead Identified is an follows: Frank Henderson, wife and child two botunien, names unknown A. P. McCleurat an unknown Scandinavian at Young's ice house Mrs. Peter Rasmussen and two children two unknown men near Fairmount bridge un known man at Sioux City Northern yards.

Hundred* of Houses Swept Atrjty. Tlio Floyd valley, a mile wido in places and 6 miles through the city the manufacturing and railroad district of the city and that portion thickly dotted with homes is a scene of desolation.

There are probably 700 families In the valley, the majority living in small houses, and as there was no warning tho most they could do was to save themselves and leave their possessions, Rescuing parties were organized by the citizens and the homeless promptly cared for.

Hundreds of houses were swept away Over a half-milo of paving on one street was destroyed. All the railroad yards, machine shops, warohousen, lumber yards, stovo works and many retail business houses were submerged. One of the leading hotels was surrounded and all depots aro in accessible. The cable line stopped and the elevated railroad is the only means of reaching the eastern suburbs. The Union stock yards were carried away with 1,000 head of stock. All packing houses were flooded and four bridges were carried away. Not a rail road train can reach the oitv. In the afternoon fire in the flooded district added to the horrors. The total loss in the city is estimated at from $1,000,000 to 8'.', 000,000.

Bravo Rescuers Perish.:

At Sprlngdale, a suburb, a woman has stood in the second story of a house 900 yards out, holding her baby out of the water, and is still tliore. Two men have already been drowned in the attempt to rescue her. The difficulty has been the gale, which has been blowing great guns all day. Houses are being broken up all the time.

Warned of the Coming Flood. The first note of warning was a tclegram received from llinton, 12 miles up the valley, saying that a 14-foot rise was .coming. The intelligence was sent to the police station. Chief Hnwmsn was notified and sent at once for an engine, loaded a boat and started up the Illinois track' for Leeds. The wav struck tliem when but a short distance up and the boat was launched at once From one house three children were taken but the mother eon Id not be rescued and was drowned. The party nar rowly escaped being overturned by a second wave 6 feet in height The angry waves nearly made way with the boat. From one house seven people were taken who had crawled into the attic. Eight minutes after the house toppled over and swept down the stream. Five people were taken from a tree at Sprlngdale. The debris piled up so that It would bear the weight of a man and greatly hindered the work.

Wouldn't the Warning. When the word came Captain of Police Wickes and a posse made haste for the flat and warned as many aa eould be reached before the flood came. Many would not listen to words of warning, saying they had seen high water before, and staid and were drowned. Others were Haved with much of their belongings.

The scene at tho chamber of commerce was a pitiful one. Hysterical women rushed hither and thitfier with tearful eyes, in vain trying to looat« their missing ones. Mothers with their loved ones all saved thanked a merciful God for His favor. Poor and rich met on the common level, all thankful even for life.

The city council at a meeting Wednesday night 'appropriated $5,000 for immediate reltef, and several thousand haa been raised by subscription. The women have been doing noble work providing shoes aud clothes for the children.

Scenea at tli© Turd*.

The scenes at the stockyards is almost indescribable. The rush of waters came down across the bottoms as tho overflow of the river at first flowed out on tho cast banks. At 10:.t0 solid blocks of hog pens were seen swaying with the motion of the wind nnd waves and in a short time they began moving down stream. The new division started first and almost the whole block started off down stream, and the report of the rending and breaking of timbers sounded almost like the sharp araclt of cannon. At 11 o'clock there was not a sign of the hogyards left. The large corn cribs containing several thousands of bushels of corn were also carried away. Scale house and outbuildings were taken with the flood. The cattleyards at the time mentioned above were mostly intact, but tho south portion was floating with the evident possibility that it would soon follow the hog pens and sheds. About three loads of hogs were all that were conlined in the hogyards. ",t.

road tics and reaching out from each side of the pier for a distance of nearly BOO feet the ties were wedftotl in solidly I up to a height of nearly 20 feet, It was here that the West family met disaster. Mrs. West and her little 5-year-old Nellie were unable to get away from tho flood in time. The father and. two children were safe and the rescuing party was returning for Mrs. West and her child when tho waves swept the house away. They floated down with the roaring current until this bridge was reached. Tho building was torn asunder, and by the time the stockyards bridge was reached there was scarcely anything left on which to hold. At this bridge an engineer succeeded in saving the woman, but the woman's physical strength was unequal to the mother's love, and she was compelled to relinquish her hold on her child. With a despairing cry of "Mamma" the child disappeared beneath the waves.

Scenes of Horror In the Suburbs. At the manufacturing suburb of Leeds, directly in the Floyd valley, nine persons are known to be drowned. Four were drowned at Sprlnp.-lr.le, just below I.eedB. Observers on the high bridge countcd fifteen bodies that swept under It. One man attempted to wade out, carrying two children, but was struck by a floating timber and so hurt that he dropped one. Matt Roe, an old sailor, saved twenty-eight lives. A woman named llinton and three children were drowned in their own house. Two Swedish families wero swept away and drowned before rescuers could reach them.

Other Iowa Towns BuftVr.

Tho worst rainstorm for many years vlsued Fort Dodge, 0 Inches of rain falllngduruig Tuesday night. The Den Sloino* river rose 7 led. Several families living in the bottoms wero forced to desert tlielr homes.

Buildings were blown down, stock Uihed and the oountry lull) bare. No loss of life, but many narrow escape] are reported. The loss will be vory heavy.

At Humboldt the Des Moines river In the highest since 1881. In town sidewalks aro afloat, roads submerged and all means of travel destroyed.

The country is In neurty as bad condition IM the city. Many farmers havo lost much stock by miring In the mud. Corn cannot be planted for at least two woeks, and nothing but grass promises any sort of a crop.

Oil)

the

damage done in North St. Louis. Immense quantities of lumber from the yards of tie Druhe Hardwood Lumber Company and the Smith Little lluiilwood Lumber Company, situated at the foot of North Market street, floated away. Passengers for the Venice and Madison ferryboat at the foot of North Market were able to reach it only by skiff.

In North St. I.oulft.

About twenty-five houses in North St. Louis have floated from their foundations and their occupants are camping in tents on the high ground. The Bcenes north of the river are heartrending. From the hills in O'Fallon park relief boats can be seen hurrying to and fro among the needy and helpless people. Over 100 families in that vicinity have been rendered homeless. To add to the general wretchedness robbers and thieves have begun to pillage the abandoned houses. Over 0,000 bales of cotton arc in cellars on tho levee. Roustabouts are working in water up to their necks and gottlng an hour to rescue the. cotton. The city's mljk supply is to some extent endangered by the flood since Jhe Illinois riwl'.'cnvds have ceased' to run accommodation trains.

In IJiiHt St^ I.',nils,

The people oi East St. Louis pi nee their confidence in the embunkinent or dike supporting the Ohio & Mississippi railroad. If this dike should break or wash out East St. Lonlsans would hnvg to hunt high lands posthaste. The tracks of the Belt line, the Var.dalia and the 0. & M. run parallel at this point. The first are already under wator. The second have only a few inches to s^are. The B. &. M. tracks, however, are still about feet from being submerged. They were laid to overtop the level of the water during the flood ./f 1SS4, and until the water reaches an elevation of

feet it will not rise over

the tracks. Tlje danger Is that the tremendous pressure of tlio water and the continual lapping of the waves will wash an opening through this embankment.

Shut Down,

The East St. Louis Packing Company has shut down. The loss to the company will be several millions of dollars, as its cellars are filled with pork, which could not be gotten out. The cars on the Kust St. Louis Electric road cannot reach their terminus on account of the water being over the tracks. The waters have reached a point beyond the Hood of 1888, and are still on the rise. In placcs throughout the city where no water was standing Tuesday it is now fully 1 foot deep. Business is suspended In Bast St. Louis. The relay depot Is surrounded with water and all the factories In the vicinity of the national stock yards have been closed down.

Villages Under tVnter.

The villages of Brooklyn, Venice, Madison and Cahokla are almost submerged. The last Inhabitant of Caliokia escaped in a skiff. The waters now reach to the chimney, tops. All railroad traffic has been "suspended except a few passenger trains on some of the roaos. The railroad yards on the island are all under water, and not a wheel is turning in any of them. The water nearly reaches to the roofs of the cars standing on the side tracks. The warehouses have all been abandoned.

Wind Helps to Destroy.

Wednesday the wind lent its force to aid the waters in their work of isolation. A perfect gale prevailed over the river, lashing the waters in angry waves against the crumbling levees and embankments and the submerged houses, causing the former to give way in weak places and making the latter totter upon their foundations. A cyclone prevailed in St. Louis county, where the destruction of property and damage to the growing crops have been immense. The heaviest losses have been caused by tho overflow water from the Missouri river, which has covered most of the rich lowlands in the Missouri bottoms. These lands are the richest In the county ami were in a high state of cultiva-

tion. The destruction of propcj^y in the Meramec valleys has been great. The long iron bridges that span the river at Fcnton, Valley Park and other places were reported standing, but in danger of being wrecked and carried away. The losses in the county, however, have been small when compared with that which will follow the changing of the channel of the Missouri river into Creve Cieur lakes, which many arc of the opinion will occur if the water rises higher in the river. In Monroe county not less than 05,000 acres of cultivated land are ruined for the season at least, entailing a loss of not less than 81,000,000.

I.lvrH I.out.

A report came that It. R. Chamberlain, wife and two children, living between East St Louis and Cahokia, 111., in a flooded district, wero drowned. While not verified, it is feared they and others are drowned or isolated and starving.

At Alton two men were seen to sink In the river from a capsizing skiff, but before aid could reach them they passed from sight. Searcliers arc out after the bodies.

Hundreds of I.tves In DilUffer. The ancient village of Kaskuskia. the former seat of empire of ttie Spanish power In the Mississippi valley in the early days and the first capital of Illinois, situated about 40 miles south of here, is surrounded by water, und a

courier has been sent out to ask for im mediate relief and rescue, as the liven of 400 people are ill danger.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 19.—Tho expected rise in Salt creek came Tuesday night, and all previous records have been broken. At least 1,0U0 houses, mostly small ones, in the west bottoms are under water, anil over 100 of them havo been moved from their foundations ami washed away by the waves. The public school buildings, the courthouse and a number of the churches are occupied as refugees. Rumors are afloat of a number of lives having been lost, but nothing definite is known yet At least a dozen large manufacturing concerns are in the inundated district. The loss will be heavy. The electric light plants and the gas works arc under water and unable to operate.

OMAHA, Neb., May 19.—The Union Pacific succeeded in bridging over tho chasm in its bridge Wednesday and trains can now use It. The .Missouri fell some during the day. making this possible. It is again risiug, as the Sioux City Hood is beginning to be felt. The river is full of floating material oi all kinds. A heavy gale has prevailed, adding much to tlio sufferings of tho people flooded out of their houses.

Again l-'Iooded.

KANSAS CITY, Mo,, May in.—l'rom present appearances the floods of last week are about to be repeated. Heavy ruins in this immediate vicinity and in Missouri and Kansas have caused a considerable rise in the Missouri and Kaw rivers, and

!t

is probable that the rivers

ttt this point and just across the state line w'U continue to rise for the next day or two, for the present high stage is due to local rnlns only.

People in the lowlands on both sides the river seem to fear repetition of their recent experiences and are getting matters in order to move to higher ground at a t: oment's notice. No additional damage to property is reported. Dispatches from points up the river report a rise and the consequent Hooding of growing crops whiclrescaped the recent floods.

Tho river at Armourdale has risen about 14 inches and the sewers In the town are pouring water into tho etreets at a very rapid rate aud flooding many houseB. Many people who were forced to leave their homes last week and had returned and begun scrubbing the mud from the floors and walls of their houses were forocd to flee a second time.

Two CyptiitiiK.

DP.NIHON, Tex., May 19. —A veritable carnival of murder took place in this city Tuesday night, l-our women, two .. of theui leaders in local society aud two belonging to the unfortunate CIUSK at the opposite end of the social ladder, wero shot. Three were instantly killed aud one is still lingering In agony. In all human probability tile same hand fired the fatal shot.s in all four cases, though no clew exists to his identity and no motive is apparent for his crime ill two of the instances.

The ViutliuH.

The first victim was Mrs. W. F. 11 ayues, the wife

of

a prominent phy­

sician of the tov. 'i. residing in an aristocratic quarter.

So

nc four hours after

the first murder, which took place about 11 o'clock. Miss Teen Hawley, beautiful girl living in the very heart of the eitv, was killed in a bedroom ill her houso. Maude Kramer, an inmate, of a bagnio at t'he opposite end of tho town, was killed an hour later by a, shot fired from the front porch of \lu! house and Rose Stewart was mortally wounded in a dive in the next block.

Murdered for ller .Jewelry.

Most brutal of the series was the first murder—that of Mrs. llaynes—and its committal seemed to stimulate the assassin's appetite for blood. Dr. llaynes. left his home early lu the evening to attend a meeting at a lodge of Elks aud left his wife in the house of her father, Mr. (lamer, adjoining his own residence. About 11 o'eloek alight Illuminated the windows of Dr. llaynes' house, giving Mrs. llaynes tho signal of her husband's return, for which she had watched throughout tho evening. She liahtenclied to her home, and a moment later shrieks of-a woman in the last extremity of (ear reached her father's ear. lie rail to his porch, unable fur a moment, toil"-v. terinine from which direction tho sound had proceeded, lie listened nnd the shrieks were redoubled, this time unmistakably coining from his daughter's house. They were followed by two reports of pistol shots, and then everything was quiet. Dreading the truth, he rushed over to Mi^s. Haynes' house, but could find her nowhere. The neighbors were aroused, lanterns produced, aud after a prolonged seaj'ch her body was found at the'foot of a steep incline 70 or SO yards to the rear of her house.

Mutilated

His

Vletlmn.

The skull was blown to fragments by a shot, the murderer having placed his pistol ugainst the woman's ear. ller watch had been stolen, and in his haste to tear a ring from her linger the assassin had mashed the bone to splinters with a blow from tin- butt of his weapon. Mrs. llaynes had apparently encountered her murderer at the door of lier house, nnd screaming with terror had fled across a vacant lot behind it. Turned by a fence she hail run down the incline and had stumbled at its foot, placing herself at the mercy of the miscreant

Mian llawlcv's .11 Mrilcr.

While a posse was searching high an I low for Mrs. llaynes' murderer he had made his way into the dwelling of s. Dr. Ilawlry, a widow, living with her'' daughters. Teen and Allie. Miss Teen was awakened by a noise in her bedroom, and seeing a dark figure rummaging a drawer fled into her mother's chamber. Miss Allie awoke to find a man bending over her. In answer to her entreaties for her life, gruff voice said: "I don't want you. it's your sister I'm after." Miss Teen meanwhile sat sobbing iu her mother's arms, where the rutlian found her and without a word shot her through tho heart. No conceivable motive for. the crime can be discovered.

Thlriitcd for More Blood.

The murderer's thirst was not yet quenched, however, for after leaving tho window almost crazed with fear and grief he turned his steps to a dive kept by Mine. Rivers, where Maude Kramer was sitting with live or six others. Stepping oji to the front porch, he fired twq shots through the window, iustantly killing the girl. In the neAl block Rope Stewart was nil-, dressing before a window when a shot fired from the sidewalk passed through her body, wounding her mortally. Revenge on the murderer has been sworn by an infuriated mob and gangs of men are searching for him fur und wide. Several arrests have been made, but no positive evidence exists against the men in custody.

Sutnlae en a Train.

ALBANY, N. Y., May 19.—Albert L. Stanton, on employe of a New York jewelry firm, suddenly became insane while traveling on a New York Central train and cut his throat with a pocketknife. He died of tho vvouud shortly •afterward.
