THE suffering at the flood-swept city
Of Shawneetown, ILL.,, was increasing on the
Cd. Only thirty houses were habtable and
malarial ferers and othel sickness were
frightfully prevalent.

a membership Of six thousand, was said to

land recently, the members being well sup

The last foot of land at Arkansas
City, Ark, had disappeared under water
on the 1st. Disastrous crevasses were re-
ported, though planteas were still hopeful
that the overflow would not be of great ex-
tent. At Cairo the danger was thought to
be over.
a BAD break occurred in the levee
below Helena, Ark, on the 9Th, and several
plantations were quickly flooded. 1t was
thought there would be much loss of prop
erty and stock, and probably some loss of
life to those who were far back in the bot
toms and were not yet aware of the break.
AT Helena, Ark, on the I'd they were
expecting greater flood than that of last
year, which was the greatest ever known.
Damage in Southeast Missouri it was said
would exceed that of last year, the water
being foot higher than then. At Vicks-
burg more hopeful view was taken of the
prospect.
THE flood news was more gloomy on
the 4tb. At Helena the water was coming
up with a rush. The st. Francis River was
dangerously high and rising, and very
broad eXpanse of land was already under
water. The levees, owing to the continued
pleasant weather, were in excellent condi-
ton, and would sustain considerable fur
Their pressure. At Arkansas City the out
look was considered a very bad one.
