Quincy, Ills, April 26.-Specials to
the Hhu from Fall Greek, Rockport and
other points along the Suy I.evee state
tha. the river to-day is stationary, there
having been no rise since midnight. The
water is now two inches higher than
during the great food Of last year. The
crevasse in the Levee is constantly Wild
ening and all efforts to stop the break
have been futile. The water is steadily
spreading over wide area, protected
by the embankment, but il Is impossible
10 estimate the extent OF the damage.
A strip of highly cultivated land, from
three to eight miles wide, and nearly
fifty miles long, is already under water,
anu is certain to share the genral destruc-
ton to day. The Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad track is under wa
ter between Fall Creek and Hannibal,
and one OF the trestle bridges has been
carried away. The track just below
Quincy was also badly !washed out by
ne high water. The Mississippi river,
Just below the city, is now over ten
miles wide. All the bottom land on
both sides is flooded.
