FLOODS AT ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS May 5.-The levee along the
river bank at points opposite Nameoki, on
the Chicago and Alton road, about eight
miles above East st. Louis broke this fore
noon, and the water is now overfiowing the
strip Of bottom land between the Chicago
and Alton railroad track and the river The
crevasse is said to be fifty feet wide and
several feet deep. The effect of this break
will simply be to overflow the narrow bot
tom between Nameoki and Venice, and
some farming lands to the north, between
the Chicago and Alton road bed and the
river. A large extra force of men has been
put to work on the c. & A. track to pa
troll and strengthen it. Unless the river
is high enough to overflow this embank-
ment at some point. No material damage
will be done other than washing out some
growing crops. The situation in East st.
Louis is practically unchanged. The river
seems to be nearly stationary to-day, and
many have ceased to fear any great addi-
tiOnal rise

liver the same, the court authorized him tC
make a proportional reduction in the
amount of the bid for all such property by
the following rule; 'tAs the aggregate ap'
praised value of all the property advertised
is to $23, ,683.96, SO is the appraised value
of such missing articles to the amount to
be deducted from the $23, ,683.96 bid fol
all the property advertised

to lease the two wharf boats of the com
pany at $400 per month for the two, oI

essary steps to recover possession of the
barge ''G w. Duncan" now held under
legal process at Quincy. Also, to take
similar steps to prevent and set aside th'
forfeiture of the Packet company's lease a
that place.

Stock speculation has not been so active

hardly got under way before the public be-
gan buying, and outsiders are now com
peting for stock in the market with those
who had sold stocks short, and who are
therefore, at present, compulsory buyers

very high and influences are at work in the
way of building rural railroads, which in full
