AWFl'L HAVOC,

ST. LOUIS, .lune 8. —Gloom and apprehension have again overcast the lower portion of this city, its suburbs along the river front ami Bust St. Louis. Everybody had been anticipating that by next week they could get into their recently-flooded houses, but these hopes have been dashed by Thursday's news, which is that the river will rise at least 4 feet more inside of three days and may possibly go beyond the 40-foot mark. lUvcr men are alarmed over the outlook as well as the railroad men, who had hoped that the worst was over.

RAPID KIHCJ*.

Prom above both along the Mississippi und the Missouri and tributaries dispatches Thursday night indicate rapid rises, caused by the recent heavy rains which tho watersheds of the vailey are beginning to discharge into the stream. With the known quantity of water in sight and already within a few days of here the rise must Inevitably be at least 3 feet, and the weather bureau predicts even more.

Alarming Keports.

More alarming reports come from the mountain regions of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, at the headwaters of the Missouri, where the snow is beginning to melt and widening the volumes of water now washing down. The situation is now the most critical ever known in the history of the river. Such a rise as is expected here will make enormous damage below, and the places that are yet protected by levees must succumb before the added weight and force of the flood now coming. An experienced man who has just returned from lower river points predicts that within two weeks more the Mississippi valley will know such a flood a* never before visited any portion of the land. W ItiM-nlvIng Hcllcf Applications.

ALTON*, II)., June :i.—The waters at this point after subsiding 4 feet, came to a stand Tuesday and have since risen about 0 inches. The resumption of trains ou the Illult Line, which WUK expected to lake place to-day was deferred on account of the rise, which endangers some of their trestles and bridges now weighted down.

There are yet quite a large number of families on the hands of the relief committee hero. Four or five families of those who were brought over from Missouri points have returned to their homes but they are still receiving assistance, while the greater number are yet in the city being cared for.

A meeting of citizens was held Thursday afternoon to systematize the, work of relief on that side, and a committee of four was appointed to ascertain the needs of families in want and to confer with the Alton relief committee and the St. Louis board of trade committee.

Should the water recede in time a provision of seed will be in order. Hut in any event it seems highly probable that many families must be sustained through the summer. There are some hundreds of dollars yet on hand of the liberal sum raised in this city, but it is meeting with a considerable and increasing drain. Whether outside help will be needed here to care for Illinois sufferers is not known yet, but apparently the committee will at least have all it can do.

Wughlug Over Ferry Landings. NF.W OIII.KANS, June 3.—The river Thursday- was higher than ever known in its history. The water is finding its way over the ferry landings into tho city streets on both sides of the river, but is doing no serious damage yet.

Another break occurred on the west bank of the river 11 miles below Doualdsonville on tho New Hope plantation. Thursday night the New Hope crevasse was over 100 feet wide. A large force is at work and will work all night. New Hope is under water, and the water has reached the Texas fc I'uciflc tracks, but in not yet over them. If the break is not closed it will overflow the whole of lower St. James, as well as the Bayou La Fou re he country. The river is flush with the top of the banks all along the coast and the planters are alarmed. Even at Donaldsonvillc sacks are being piled on top of the levees.

Sews from Red river says that the planters are all at work, but the Arkansas crevasses may raise the stream even above the 1800 level, and the system of levees along the stream does not seem to be strong enough to make tho necessary resistance.

WESTERN UNION'S VICTORY. Decision Against tho Hell Telephone Com puny Involving S12.0ll0.000.

BOSTON, June 3.—An important decision, adverse to the American Bell -Telephone Company, has been rendered by United States Judge Colt in favor of the Western

Union Telegraph Company. The suit was for one-flfth of the capital stock of numerous corporations operating telephones throughout the United States. The gross amount claimed by the telegraph company is about £12,090,000.

The contract forming the basis of the suit was made in 1879 between various corporations operating telephones and the Western Union Company on the one side and the Bell Telephone Company. The question was whether the contract required the Hell company to pay 20 per cent, on all sums received, or only on profits made. The case was heard by Judge Lowell as master, ami objection was made to an irregularity in filing his report. The report was by agreement withdrawn. The master refused to hear additional evidence. Thereupon the plaintiff moved to dismiss the bill with costs. This motion was earnestly opposed, but is now granted without prejudice, which gives the plaintiff the right to try its case over again.
