ST. LOUIS SEWERS.
A Break Infllcting Serious Losses.

ST. LOUIS, April 23.-The examination to.
day of the districts flooded last evening by the
bursting of mill creek sewer, revealed quite a
different state of affairs from those supposed
to exist last night. The loss to private prop.
erty will foot up heavily, perhaps
reach 100000, and possibly largely
exceed that sum. Among sthe heavf-
est losers are BARLEY & Cochran, pork
packers, who had several thousand barrels of
lard and about a million pounds of meat
with truck and slime and filthy water from
the sewer, rendering it unmerchantable and
entailing very large loss on them. Their
claim against the city will amount TO about
100000. Barnes Bros, had the cellar and
first floor of their pork house hooned and 800
packages of lard actually swept away. The
loss will be large. Chas. 7. Cox, pork packer
had 700 packages of lard and $50
dered unfit for use. Daniel Bailey & Co.'S.
cracker factory, had nearly 500 boxes of
goods and hundred and fifty barrels of flour
flooded. The United States FIGURING mill of
E. Gaddard q Sons, has hundred barrels and
sacks of -four destroyed, besides damage to
the mill. ]. NJ. Ertell & Co., grocers, had
their stock damaged fully $1,000. The
Western Machinery works were damaged for
about the same amount. Meyer & Stroll
and damage to carriages. The St. Louis coal
tar company estimate their loss at $4,000.
Thos. Tackle. grocer, was damaged about
$500. The gas works were flooded, fires
put out and works stopped. The damage here
will be considerable, but the chief trouble in
this case is the cutting off of gas from large
portion of the southern part of the city. Be-
sides the above named losers there are prob.
able 200 which viii range from $50 to 81 600,
annciefipn chiaAv of aT
dwellings and small stocks of goods in stores,
saloons, etc. Three fire engines have
been working all day pumping the
water from the cellars, but not
much Roadway was made in some cases, the
water running into them as fast as taken out.
1t is evidently partially choked at the mouth
and being unable to discharge the immense
body of water which was poured into it by
the heavy rain fall, its weak spot gave way
and its filthy contents were spread out and
over twelve or more blocks of tenements and
manufacturing establishments. The loss
will, no doubt, have to be borne by the city,
and will certainly reach several hundred
thousand dollars.

sT. LOUIS, April S.-One of the heaviest
rains ever known here fell between and and 6
