ST. LOUIS FLOODS.

A Large Section of Country Flooded, Part
ly Through the Malicious Cutting of a
Levee-The Water Falling, and People
Hopeful the Worst Is Over.
ST. LOUIS, May 6.-Information has come
down from the Madison levee that a cut was
made in the dyke by some as yet unknown and
malicious persons, about 4 O'Clock this morn
ing, and the water, direct from the river, has
since been pouring into the bottoms through
an opening some fifty feet wide. The part of
the dyke cut was very strong and therefore
had not been patrolled as had that portion Of
1t further north. This fact seems to have been
taken advantage of, and some miscreaAts stole
in during the darkness and perpetrated the
outrage. Backwater that has flowed over the
bottom from below Venice has overHowed
what are known as Canteen and
Indian Creek settlements, and the peo-
pie of these localities have been in q state
At one time they threatened to cut the Ohio &
Mississippi railroad embankment, in order to
relieve their lands of water, and were only
prevented from doing SO by an organized force
from East St. Louis. 1t is supposed that per-
haps some of these people committed this
great outrage, but why they should have done
so can hardly be deduced, unless it was for
spite, in the hope that the floods would flow
southwark, down the eastern side of the bot
tom near the bluffs, and, backing in from the
east between the railroad tracks which run
across the bottom, inundate all that part of
East St. Louis not yet under water, and the
amount of farming lands threatened to be
oyerfowed by this dastardly act is said to be
about 5000 acres.
THE TURNING POINT.
The river here has reached the turning
point and has been falling slowly all day, but
whether this is result of this cut and the
break yesterday. at Chatteaa slough, cannot
be stated. It is known, however, that all the
upper rivers are declining, and this together
with the fact that the weather has cleared and
is very warm to-day, gives rise to the hope
that the worst is over,
The area of farming lands subject to inunda
tion by this break is 5000 to 10000 acres. If
the water is high enough to overflow wagon
road built upon the embankment running
from Venice to Edwardsville, it will submerge
about as much more. The break of yesterday
at Chateau slough is still empty
ing an immense body of water
into the bottoms, and there seems to be no
way to check the fow The break of to-day
will relieve the Ohio & Mississippi railroad
embankm ent east of Caho kia creek, of part of
the pressure on it, by giving the water wider
distribution.
The river has fallen two inches ince morn
ing, and the indications are that the decline
will be fully as rapid as the rise. Everybody
feels sense Of relief, and looking hopefully
for speedy subsistence of the flood.

C,trina Through Faith.
Damascus, Pa, Cor. Philadelphia Time

damascus, Pa, Cor. Philadelphia Times.]
A short time ago a dispatch to the
Times from this place announced the
cure, through faith, of Miss Nellie Tyler,
a relative Of Mr.. William W. Tyler, the
postmaster here. Another case still more
remarkable is now reported from Canaan
township, Wayne county, not many miles
from here. Miss Eta Ludwig has been
sufferer from a white swelling on her
hip, pronounced by all the physicians
who have examined her to be incurable.
She has been treated by some Of the most
noted medical men in the country, who
gave up all hopes of her recovery, and
She has tried all kinds of patent medi-
cines, with no relief whatever
from her painful malady. About
a month ago she heard OF
the remarkable cure of Miss Tyler by
prayer, and believing that her cure could
be affected by the same means, she pro-
cured of Miss Tyler the address Of the
woman in Connecticut who had oficiated
in Miss Tyler's case, and received an an
swer, appointing the hour and day when
Miss Etta's friends should engage in
prayer for her restoration to health.
Sunday, April 25th, was the time appoint
ed, and on that day her friends gathered
around her, and prayers were offered.
Within an hour Miss Ludwig noticed a
great change In her condition, and she
is now so fully recovered as to be able tn
walk. She has not, until this time, 10
many years walked step, and her re-
covery it at least wonderful.

CHICAGO, May 6.-The striking switchmen
in the various railroad yards appear to have
the best of the employers. They held meet
ing tonight, at which of 500 nearly the en-
tire number were present, and decided to hold
out. The men brought here by
the companies are being shipped
back by the strikers, who give notice that no.
body from outside will be permitted to work
here while the strike lasts. Meantime freight
is piling up on the tracks, and merchants are
greatly annoyed at the delay. Although the
railroad companies seem to have the best of
the argument and of the equity in the case,
the strikers appear to be able to dictate terms
on account of the scarcity of help.

DETROIT, Mich, May GA strike suddenly
took place among the printers of the Post

the raise, but made compromising offer
giving an increase of one and one-third cents.
This was refused, and the men immediatly
walked out, and the Printers Union ordered a

tion, proclaimed the Office non union, and set
to work at the vacant cases. Two-thirds of
the cases are filled already and the paper will

Washington letter.
1t is SAID that the large fortune acquired in
printing the debates in Congress by John c.
Rives has almost entirely disappeared. Rives
made Mr.. Bailey, of Maine, the associate OF
his son in this business. Bailey received a
large commission on the appropriations from
Congress without suffering the corresponding g
losses in the business. He died wealthy, while
the business ran down and was finally taken
away from the heirs by Congress- and given to
was talking to an old printer in Washing
ton City fortnight ago. He told me very
singular thing to show that in our day there
has been really some improvement in Govern
mental shrewdness, If not in scrupulousness.
This old printer said that he printed the Pacific
railroad reports in Buchanan's administration,
and that it was the largest job ever doue under
this government of that kind, amounting to
S3,OO0,O0O. Very numerous colored litho-
graphs were inserted in the reports, and the
business extended over period of years. In
order to increase the demand for this book,
the old printer employed gentleman now
to the intelligence of the
county to prepare series of letters and dis
patches which should reach every part Of the
United States nearly at the same time. Those
for the Pacific Coast went out weeks in a.
vance, others for Pennsylvania and Virginia
weeks later. Each notice was sent to a news
paper, and indicated that most beautiful
book was soon to be published by the govern
ment, and that those wishing 1t had better
hurry and write to their Representatives and
Senator's if they would secure copies. Of
course these Representatives and Senator's,
knowing nothing of the device, thought there
was an honest demand for such books. Let
ters began to roll in on them from the highest
class of their voters, insisting upon early
copies of the work on the Pacific railroads.
One of the first of these persons to receive his
letters was Senator Gwin, of California, who
called on the contractor and asked how many
copies were allotted
'sFive to Senator" said the printer, "and
one to each Congressman"
"My God % said Gwin, "that won't supply
one township in my whole State. My morn.
ing mail is the biggest ever had, and they all
want that report"
Consequently, said the old printer, by an
overwhelming majority Congress voted a vast
edition of the book, ssand I think it was per-
fectly legitimate" added the printer, ''because
that was my business.
