THE WESTERN FLOODS.
Condition OF the Mississippi River.

Condition Of the Mississippi River.
The river is still rising slowly, but the
situation is practically unchanged. In
East St. Louis the Bowman dyke and the
other weak points arc constantly being
strengthened. Threats arc made to cut
what is known as the Madison county
dyke, high embankment running east
from the river about a mile and a half,
and midway between Brooklin and Venice,
but after long and angry wrangle be-
tween q number of the inhabitants of the
former place and some people living
north of the dyke, it was decided to do
nothing at present. As tho cut
ting of tho dyke would increase the
inundation of Brooklyn, tho people were
very determined, aud guarded the levee all
night with shOtguns and other weapons,
but so far as is known, no attempt was
made to interfere with it. A large volume
of water still flows through the breaks in
the Chicago and Alton and other railroad
tracks, and it is spreading out and cover
ing more and moro bottom toward the
bluff and along the Vandalia railroad, but
no damage to the latter is reported. Re
ports from points along the Missouri river
vary. At some places tho water is rising,
at others it has fallen from few inches
to two feet. 1t is safe to say that there is
considerably moro water to como down
from this side of ST. Joseph, and the rise
may be foot Or more.
A dispatch from Bismarck says the
Yellowstone river is already as high as it
was last year, and that the Missouri river
is also rising at that point. Telegrams
from other places high up the Missouri

gun, and probably some parts of it will
reach here before tho present flood has re-
ceded much. If so, tho situation will
become alarming, and the destruction of
property along both tho upper and lower
rivers will be appalling.
The inhabitants of West Kansas City
are preparing to leave, one or two families
having changed quarters. There is much
apprehension regarding the ice houses
and other property along the river in that
vicinity. The water is now considerably
higher than at any time since 1881.
The magnitude of the disaster from the
floods below Alton. ILL.,, is just beginning
to be disclosed. Tho break in the dyke
below tho city has caused destruction
covering wide area. Thousands of FAM
lilies between Louisiana and Grafton are
homeless and fleeing before the floods.
Stock to the number of 5000 have already
been drowned in the American bottoms.
Telegraph communication is seriously in
terrupted. The Suy Carte bottoms are
ruined for tho year.

the memory Of Garfield. Mr.. Justice
Matthews has remained silent under tho
grave accusation. Mr.. Reid has not seen
fit to take any notice of tho part ascribed
to him in tho negotiation. Silonco is no
answer to such charge when responsibly
made. Tho supreme court ought not to
permit it to pass without a proper invcsti-
cation, and Congress certainly will not
allow tho highest judicial tribunal to bo
aspcrsed without full inquiry.

Forty seven Lives Lost Dy the Frlghtful Real
ism OF u Fire Scene.
Intelligence Of a frightful calamity at d
place of amusement in the town of DerviO,
on the shore of Lake Como, has Just beell
received. Tho advices of the disaster
state that while performance was in
progress at 4 puppet theatre there the
structure took fire and was entirely de
strOyed. Forty -sevon persons lost their
lives and twelve others were injured.
The show was held in 4 large hall over a
tavern. There wcro ninety persons in tho
hall. A Bengal light was used to repre-
sent fire, and sparks from this set fire to 4
quantity of straw and firewOod stored in
an adjacent room. On prcceiving tho
flames the Snowman shouted "fire,'' but
tho spectators thought the cry was merely
a realistic detail Of tho show and remained
seated. Cries of fire We're soon raised out
side the hall. The audience, thinking an
affray had arisen in the street. barred
with a heavy table the door leading from
the hall. They did not discover their
mistake until the flames burst into the
room After the fro was extinguished
forty seven charred corpses wore found
around the table, including tho bodies
of the Snowman and his wife.
