overwhelmed with kind attentions Owners OF re-

merry go rounds, the panoramas, the switch-bacK

the happy hours have been all too short, and they
have had to start for home with many invitations still
available for want Of time to accept them
These courcsies extended to US, know from obser-

General Disaster in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, May 1s.-Heavy
rains the past two days in the Upper
Arkansas valley have done great dam.
age. Gazette specials tonight say that
nearly all the small streams tributary to
the Arkansas river have overflowed and
railway tTafi; greatly retarded. Two
bridges on the Frisco Road, south Of the
Boston mountains are badly damaged by
the washing away Of approaches and 80
weakening the structures as to prevent
trains passing. No St. Louis trains have
reached Fort Smith since Wednesday
hight and none are expected over
the Frisco before Sunday or Monday.
On the valley route below Fort Smith the
bridge is badly damaged over Frog bayou,
and the passenger train due at the former
point from Little R ,ck Thursday has not
arrived. Considerable damage is reported
by washouts to the new road between the
Arkansas line and Fort Gibson, l.. T.
Trains are running regularly between
Fort Smith and Paris, Tex the damage
to that end OF the Frisco line being re-
paired. Many farms are submerged.
In the creek bottoms near Alma, Ark,
hundreds of acres Of corn and cotton are
under water. Loss Of life is rep orted ,but
nothing authentic.

Beads Washed Out.

Special TO the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, May 1S-Hesvy
rains in this section during the past three
days have caused many of the small
streams tributary to the Arkansas to
overflow, and railroad traffic is being
greatly retarded. Two bridges on the
Frisco, this side of Boston mountain,
have been badly damaged, the approaches
being washed out and the structures
themselves so weakened as to prevent
trains from crossing. No St. Louis trains
have reached here since Wednesday
night, and there will not likely be one in
or out before Sunday or Monday. A
large force of men is now out repairing
the dsmige as rapidly as the swollen
waters permit. On the Valley
Route there lis also some dam,ge
to the bridge over Foy bayou this
side of Alma, in consequence OF which
the passenger train due here last evening
did not materializs. Considerable dana
age is reported by washouts on the new
road between here and Fort Gibson, in
the Cherokee nation. Trains on the
Frisco between here and Paris, Tex , are
running regularly, the recent washouts
on that line having been repaired. Many
farms are submerged in the creek bot.
toms around Alma, and some LOGS Of life
is reported, though these reports lack
confirmation. The weather is cloudy and
more rain is anticipated. All telegraph
wires north are down and nothing def
mite can be learned.

ANGRY WATERS.
Present Mississippi Flood INT quaIied
Except In '51-The Water Seven
Inches Higher Than In 81.
Destruction in Al tn, L.vse Districts Com
plete-R ailway Traffic Greatly Re-
tnfded In Arkansas.
The Mississippi Floods.

QUINCY, ILL May 1s.-The great food
that now prevails along the Mississippi
river has never been equalled except In
1851, the government gauge now marks
nineteen feet, nine inches, being seven
inches higher than during the great q BOD
OF 1881. Above and below Quincy are
over 100 miles OF levees for the protection
Of fully zoe, 900 acres Of land. On Sunday
morning the first break occurred on one
Of these great embankments known as
Indian Grove levee. During the day two
other crevasses were made. As soon as
. crevasse was made the river poured
through the opening with an ominous
roar. Every momentincreased the width
of the crevasse and the great food that
was to carry es'ruction in its pathway.
Thirty five homes were deserted in q
moments notice from riders who were
SENT OUT To GIVE WARNING
Of the danger, in many cases the people
being obliged to lie we everything and fly
to the bluffs or seek safety in boats.
On Monday the Say Carte
levee, an embankment commenc-
ing just below Quincy and ex-
tending south 8 distance Of ffty-four
miles, gave way between Hannibal and
Louisiana, and the scenes enacted the
dsy previous were repeated and intensi-
fed.
Early in the week the Alexandria levee
thirty miles above Quincy gave way, COM
pletelY fl ooding THAI thrifty city. Yester-
day crevasse WAS MADE in the Sny lsvee st
East Hannibal, followed soon after by an.
other break mile south, and last night
the destruction In all the levee districts
WAS complete, and cattle and horses in
oveIfo we'd pastures were overwhelmed
in many localities and drowned. The
river above and below the city Is from ten
to fifteen miles broad. The water is
pouring over
THE TOP OF THE LEvEE
besides rushing through break from 800
to 400 yards wide with irresistible force.
On the dry places on the embanamsnt are
hundreds OF cattle, horses and
hogs without feed. Far across on
the opposite bluffs are gathered hundreds
of men, women and children in small
groups. Desolate, forlorn and despairing,
they look upon the ruin wrought, upon
their farms laid waste, property de-
stroyed, homes almost completely under
water, furniture floating awsy and stock
drowning. Many Of them are utterly
destitute, having neither sufficient cloth
ing nor shelter, and some suffering for
food. Communication to the west from
this city is entirely cut of, every road be-
ing under water. For ten days 1t has
rained steadily. To add to the suffering
the water is still steadily rising. and the
worst Of the food has not yet been
reached.

QUINCY, Ill, Msy 1s.-The Quincy
Wing to-day organ z ID three expeditions
to the overlooked district and obtained
minute particulars of the condition Of the
refugees camped on the highlands and
bluffs north and south OF the city.
Ia the Indian grove district
there are fifteen families rem
dered homeless, q majority Of whom
are partially sheltered In barns and other
touDdipgs not inundated. A number,
however, remiin in the upper stories of
their dwellings in the submerged area.
They are sll suffering to some extent, but
the attention and care Of neighbors has
thus far prevented actual want.
The names and location of 600 refugees
are given in the report. They are not in
sue absolute misery and want, however,
Is much greater number in the shy dis
trict south OF Quincy. There the road.
way, the bluhj and all dry places are oc-
cupied by persons in tents, under con.
structed sheds, In wagons and with
no covering but the most scanty cloth
ing. Women and children are weeping
over the catastrophe which has overtaken
them and are In sore need Of clothing and
1000. All came away from their de-
vastated homes in precipitous flight, thank.
ful they and their families were not
swallowed up by the torrents
which poured through the crevssse in
the levees. They are living as bes.
they can, existing only until charity
which is already widespread can be
made available for their relief. How
msny OF these distressed people there sre
within the Sny levee cannot be told. 1t
will be with the greatest difficulty
that some of them can be
reached. The roads, the hills
and the little hamlets are thronged
with them, but the waters have cut off
access to several of the communities
most in iced of hap.
One Of the moss important results of
the trip is found in the report OF the in
spect on Of the damages to railroad prop
erty on the Illinois eide of the river which
has not heretofore attracted marked at
tention. The Burlington and Wabash
roads east OF Hannibal are washed out
for Thousand yards or more and the
tracks are covered with water the entire
distance in the Say district.
The damage to railroad property
there will be enormous and
the interruption Of traffic on both roads
will be disastrous. Communication be-
tWee Hannibal and the east is entirely
cut c # and can't be restored for many
days. The branches Of the Q leading 10
Hannibal and Louisiana are washed out
for miles, bridges and culverts being en-
tirely carried away. The force Of the
food inside of the levee was much greater
than previous reports would
indicate, hundreds of farm houses and
other buildings being swept away and de-
mOlished
