I.HE CHEAT WESTERN FLOODS.

Reports of Disaster From Every Quarter
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb 22.-Reports from
points throughout the West all tell the
same story of flood and disaster. Rain
has been general and in many places ac-
companicd by wind and slcct. The te!c-
graph wires last night in every direction
were down and many railroads badly
washed out. The result, however, except
from river floods, will not bc disastrous.
The most serious Inconvenience is from
suspension of traffic along the Ohio and
Lower Mississippi. However, the disastrous
effect of the Hoods seems to be increasing

SpRINGFIELp, Ill.,, Feb. 22.-Thc re-
suits Of the storm in this vicinity have

first reports were received. No business

The Wabash depot in this city has been
blocked with trains all day. Trains which

GREAT FLOOD OF WATERS.
The south and West Devastated.

The Little Rock, Ark, Gasetts's Helena
special says: The disaster caused by il
break in the levcc at WilliamsOn's Place
prevented communication with the outside
world to considerable extent. The Iron
Mountain railroad track was submerged
and the telegraph lines broken last Thurs
day night The levee has been tempo
rarly rebuilt. The entire lower
portion of the city and the main
street 1t tho corner of Market and
Ferry streets is under water and the only
communication with West Helena is by
skiifs. The prospect is very gloomy, as all
mills, tho foundry ard other industrial
establishments are closed and many work.
men and labOrers are thrown out Of en-
plOyment. There is little doubt that great
distress will result among the working
classes in this city, as it will be at least
two weeks before tho water falls suffi-
GENTLY to permit resumption Of business.
The water is still rissng.
In the bottoms contiguous to the Mis-
sissippi river thousands of horses, mules
and cattle have been drowned, miles of
fencing swept away, houses destroyed and
corn cribs floated off with contents, in
many instances leaving the people with
out actual necessaries. What the end OF
this will be none can tell, but 1t is evident
that relief will be needed or many persons
will die of starvation. Business is entire
ly at a standstiN in this city. The dam
age to plantations in the valley will be
immense.
A st. Louis dispatch says The weather
turned very cold about two O'Clock
this morning and the mercury sank
several degrees below the freezing point
between that hour and daylight. The
ground is frozen very hard. The river has
risen over fine feet since last evening and
is now 27t feet high, total rise since Sun
day of about II feet. Railroad travel is
still very much interrupted. The only
roads which sent out trains wcre the Ohio
& Mississippi, the Cairo Short Line, the
st. Louis & San Francisco and the Van
dalia. The last named used the Ohio &
Mississippi track to Odin, thence by the
Illinois Central to it's own road. The only
train from Chicago arrived over the Van
dalia road. The incoming trains on all the
other roads were abandoned or have bcan
indefinitely delayed.
