SOAKED ST. LOUIS.

Serious Crevasse in the Levee North of the
City--Bottom Lands Overlooked, Rail
road Traffic Interrupted, Etc.
ST. LOUIS, May 5.-The levee along the
river bank at a point opposite Nameoki, on
the Chicago & Alton road, abont eight miles
above East st. Louis, broke this morning, and
the water is now overfowing strip of bot
tom between the Chicago & Alton railroad
track and the river. The crevasse is said to be
sixty feet wide and several feet deep. The ef-
feet of this break will simply be- to overflow
the narrow piece of bottom between Nameoki
and Venice on the south, and some farming
lands north between the Chicago & Alton road
bed and river An extra force of men have
been put to work on the Chicago & Alton
track to patrol and strengthen it. Unless the
river is high enough to overflow the embank.
ment at some point no material damage will
be done, other than washing out some grow
ing crops. The stu ltion in East st. Louis is
practically unchanged. The river seems to be
nearly stationary to-day, and many have ceased
to fear any great additional rise.

why the Rates Were Advanced.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Commissioner Fink, in
answer to the query addressed him by the ed-
tor of the Railray Age as to the reasons
which caused the joint executive committee of
the Trunk lines to raise the rates on grain,
east bound, five cents per hundred without the
usual notice to shippers: The point of his
letter, which is very long, is that the drop in
rates previously made was only temporary,
and the advance was merely restoration of
the old rates. The drop was ordered because
some cutting had been discovered and it was
determined to put all shippers on the same
basis.

A Long Separation.

Mr.. S. A. Thompson, of Mounds View
Ramsey county, has been enjoying visit this
week from his brother, W. T. Thompson, the
editor and proprietor of the
Savannah, Georgia, Ne,cs. The
brothers, though well advanced in life, might
almost be said never to have met. They for
nierly resided at Ravenna, Ohio. When S. A.
Thompson was 9 months old, his mother died
and to a considerable extent this
broke up the family. When he
was sixteen months old, the brother now
visiting him left home, being fourteen years
of age, to make his way in the world, and they
have never met since. He went
to Pittsburgh, where he worked at the
printing business. From there he went
to Philadelphia and finally drifted South, par.
ticipating in the Seminole war in Florida and
becoming a resident in that section of the
country The Northern brother served in the
Union army and the Southern brother in the
Confederate, but they never met until a few days
ago. w. T. Thompson is now SO years oi
age, and S. A. Thompson Sc. The latter set
tied in this county thirty-one years ago, and is
one of our Oldest settlers. The meeting after
separation of nearly ffty-f years was a not
able event in their lives, and will probably be
the first and last interview the brothers will
ever have. Mr.. Thompson left yesterday fol
his home in Georgia.

InterOeeanie Communication.

The March number of the Cali
fornian comes freighted with an
unusual quantity of valuable liter
ary matter. To the mercantile
and producing classes the most
important article is ''lnteroceanic
Communication" from the pen of
Captain William Lawrence Merry,
who, almost single handed, has for
months past ably sustained the
cause Of the Nicaragua canal pro-
ject. That the people of this coast
are blind To their own interest has
been evident for a long time, and
nothing can better prove this To
be the case than the Indifference
displayed at the late meeting of
the Grangers, when the subject Of
an interoceanic canal was present
ed To them. To arouse the people
Of this coast from their lethargv,
Captain Merry has worked indie
fatigably and with marked ability.
His latest article gives in detail
the reasons why the Nicaragua
route should be preferred to that
serving the two continents al the
Isthmus of Panama. Laying
aside the political considerations,
which are 0f great importance, the
figures presented in his article,
showing the saving in first cost
and In time, are sufficient, II would
seem, TO convert any who now
lean toward the Panama scheme,
while the engineering problems
which must be solved by VI De
Lesseps, are infinitely more diff
cult than any presented to the
engineers of the Nicaragua line.
