Known-Railway Travel Impeded.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
DANvILLE Ill, Feb. 1.-THE Vermilion
river rose last night to the highest point
reached during the present food and is now
higher than since 1919, at least and many
believe higher than ever before known. The
entire city park is under water, and the dam
recently erected by the boat club, at an ex-
pense of 81, 900, is gone. People living near
the river, in places hitherto considered en-
tirely secure have been compelled to leave
their homes, and in many of them
the water is standing at a
depth of several feet. The water
reached the ice-house of Ganor & Mengle, in
which is stored $500 tons of ice, but it is not
believed the damage will be serious Many
outhouses have been overturned. A railroad
bridge went down the river last night from
some point above, and all day yesterday
household goods and flour-sacks and barrels
were to be seen floating past. The latter
eral miles west of the city, and which is in
danger of being carried away by the water
The W., st. L. & P. pumping-house, located
on the West Vermilion, and which supplies
all the water used'by the engines of the road
at this point and all used in the shops at
Tilton, is under water to the depth of eight
feet and the pumps are stopped.
On account of the unusually high location
of Danyille, but little damage has been done
to the city by water.
Trains on all the roads leading out of the
city are running very irreguiarly. Those on
H. f. tAfrr Ill
Haute are abandoned. The bridge OF the d..
g. O. railroad over the Vermilion is consid-
cred unsafe and expected to go at
any moment. There are several washouts
between this city and Chicago, and the wires
are all down.
A meeting will be held this evening for
the purpose OF organizing n relief commit
tee to solicit aid for the sufferers by the food
along the Ohio river. Collections will be
taken in all the churches tomorrow Cloth
ing, food and money will be sent as soon as
arrangements can be made.

Floating Items,

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
1t is related that an Irish woman in one of
the flooded houses received 81 from the re-
lief committee yesterday, and with it made
the following original investment Eighty
cents worth of eggs and twenty cents worth
OF 'tobaccer." She was evidently observing
Lent.
There is one saloon-keeper who was driven
out by the high water with his family, who
has retired from business, and has four or
five houses of his own from which he OBJ
tains rent, and has money laid aside for
rainy day, who is daily applicant for relief
from the committee. Another individual,
who is contractor, president of two build
ing associations, and has some money laid up,
also accepts relief from the same source.
Yesterday female with a small babe in
her arms called at the engine-house and
having related pitiful story of her unfortu-
nate circumstances, was furnished with an
abundance of good things. She departed,
and shortly after another woman appeared
on the scene, bearing the identical baby that
had been there before. She went through
the same pathetic business, was provided for
like her predecessor and went away reioic
ing. Scarcely fifteen minutes had passed
when third one made her appearance, car
rying the same precious specimen of infan-
tile humanity. She tried the same old racket
but the machinery was out of gear, and the
thing didn't operate.

voted by the State for flood sufferers.

LEAvENwoRTH.
Great Damage to Property, and Much Suf-
fering Among the Poor.

fering Among the Poor.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. S.-Leavenworth, Craw-
ford county, is entirely under water. The
damage to property is enormous. The food
is two feet higher than in 1882. Many houses
have been washed away. Perhaps six or
eight out of 200 or 300 dwellings are firm on
their foundations. Owners were compelled
TO weight them down with heavy slabs of
stone to keep them from floating away
Steamers run through the streets as far as
the hill. On Nelson street the water is TWEEN
ty feet deep, and two or three feet on the
floors of second-story buildings The sup
ply of provisions is exhausted. There is
much suffering among the poorer classes,
many of whom are camping on the hill. w.
d. Aliens stock of dry goods, valued at So.
600 is said to be total loss The Legisla-
ture will be appealed to for additional aid.
The $500 sent will not feed one-thIrd Of the
destitute people.

lutely knowns no bounds. and to his prompt
ness and generosity many poor person is
indebted for shelter and food in the hours
of their deepest distress. Col. NJ. NJ. Hurley,
Thomas Hanlon and other citizens are doing
everything in their power. and are ably sup
pementing Mr.. DePauw's efforts. The man
ufacturing portion of the city is en-
tirely submerged and the greatest damage is
here, and the distress will continue for
months after the waters have subsidized. 1t
is not nearly so great as al Jacksonville and
will not be, because the business portion of
New Albany is unframed while that of the
other city is entirely ruined. Besides, here
only one-third OF the population is homeless,
while at Jacksonville the proportion is at
least four-fifths. There are sad stories of
sickness, and cold and want here, but in the
general distress these command but passing
attention. The greatest sufferers are the
women and little children, who have not
sufficient clothing and no fires.
The committee left here at two o'clock this
afternoon over the o. & NJ. road, for Madison.
Homeless People Around the Falls.
Louisville Courier-Journal. Yesterday.
Although so much has been written and
said about the flood, and SO many
thousands have viewed it, but few peo-
pie really know its magnitude. By a close
estimate, deduced from careful examination,
fully II 900 people have been rendered home
less in this city and in New Albany and jeff
ersonville. On tins side of the river eight
miles of the citys front is under water and
5000 persons have been rendered
homeless, while 1900 houses are
either ruined or rendered totally unfit
for use until the water entirely recedes A
great many of those rendered homeless are
sick, and great ex pense is entailed in pro-
viding for their wants. The subscriptions
have been most liberal, and almost every
man who could afford it has responded to the
call made upon him. The total amount
subscribed up to last night including the
S. 600 appropriated by the city, was 800
51i49 The whole of this has been carefully
handled, and before it is expended together
with the amounts that will be subscribed
hereafter, the chief wants of the sufferers
will be supplied
In Jacksonville eleven miles of streets are
under water nearly the entire city being
covered. Fully 1000 people are homeless,
and 1 400 houses completely flooded.
AS in this city, a great many of the people
are sick and in destitute circumstances. The
subscriptions have been very liberal, but no
estimate of the total has been made. The
chief feature, however, is the $40 900 which
the Legislature appropriated for the benefit
of Jacksonville and New Albany, to be used
for the benefit of the sufferers In New
Albany about seven miles of streets have
been flooded and 5 900 people driven from
1000 ruined houses. Except the appropria-
Nsaf h. rlpfvY &c..
raised has not been LARGE but sufficient to
provide for the wants of the suffering.

breaks are yet open, and the water is running
through the Garth break below, and through
the Rozell break, few miles above town.
Not much damage will result from the water
escaping through these banks unless there
should be an extraordinary rise in the river.
Should big flood come the people of this
county would be entirely helpless and de-
pendent upon the charities of the world.
But little confidence is felt in the present
condition of the levee to protect them from
an overflow

About $500 was contributed, and other

shaft will go to Braidwood in the morning
to aid if possible in the work of clearing the
shaft. All the miners at Braceville and many
from Pontiac have gone there also to assist.

The smallpox hospital in Brainerd, Mimi. was
burned to the ground at an early hour on Friday
morning, II is supposed by some person living in

building, came near being burned up with IL, the
fear of the disease preventing the bystanders
from entering the building to call him and get

Rivers and Small Streams Very High, and
Interfering with Travel.
ST. LOUIS, Feb 1.-THE cold weather
which set in here Friday last, while it stop
ped the rainfall and further thawing of snow
and ice, has not checked the rise in the
rivers as it was anticipated it would. All the
streams, both great and small, throughout
this region are booming and while no great
damage has yet been done, good deal of
land has been ovefowed, numerous bridges
carried away or rendered unsafe and railroad
traffic has been greatly impeded by wash
outs and high water. Trains on nearly all
the roads centering here have been delayed
from one to twelve hours, and some roads
have used the tracks of other lines in order
to run the trains at all. The Wabash, for
example, is still obliged to use the / & ST.
l.. as far as Litchheld, Ill.,, owing to wash
outs and the Vandalia road sends its trains
via. the o. & NJ. to Odin, thence over the
Illinois Central to bingham, where it takes
its own track The Louisville & Nashville
track is submerged in spots in Southern Hi
nois, and no through trains are running, and
the Keokuk & st. Louis road still broken by
the washing out of the trestle on Curver
river The Belmont branch of the Iron
Mountain is still suffering from washouts
and the Mobile & New Orleans trains are
abandoned. The Texas division of the same
road is open, however, and fair time is being
made. The st. Louis d San Francisco was
not interrupted at all, and traffic on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, west has been delayed but lit
tie. The Cairo Short Line also suffered but
slightly, but all other roads have had more
or less trouble. Matters are getting we'll in
hand, however, and it is expected that all
breaks will be repaired in day or two, and
