water which will be undoubtedly great
because of the great grade made by the
depression IN said new public road; this
IS an unknown item of expense that no
one can accurately measure.
The whole matter may be summed up
thus: II we have to summit to the dis
hgurement and injury sought to be done
the new public road in the interest of the
railroad company, we must at least insist
that the taxpayers shall not be burdened
to the ex4ent of n single dollar for any
such purpose. No reputable corporation
should have the effrontery to expect the
public to bear any such imposition for its
benefit; and the Board in IT'S demands
simply aeek TO indemnify the public
against this imposition.

THE WESTERN FLOODS,
At New Orleans the Mississippi 10 High,
Than Ever Before.

At New Orleans the Mississippi 10 Higher
Than Ever Before.
The Mississippi river is again rising, and
while it has not yet done any new damage of
consequence, the great fear is that the present
will 50 far prOlong the flood as to make the
June rise especially dangerous. Parts Of the
levee dry day or two ago are now flooded and
foot more water at least is expected before
the flood turns. No information as to the
SHOWS near the sources of the rivers of the
northwest is at hand and therefore the extent
and time Of the June floods cannot be esti-
mated. The food funds u course of collec-
ton here now aggregate $40, $50 and are still
growing.
Rain has fallen necessarily for twenty four
hours at Clinton and Grand riveris away out of
its banks. The Usage river at Osceola is re-
ported two feet higher than two weeks ago and
still rising.
At Tuscumbia the Usage river had risen nine
feet in the last twenty-four hours. A steady
downpour of rain for forty-eight hours made
small streams raging torrents A dispatch says
the river is out OF its banks and still rising.
Continuous rain has been falling at Sedalia
for thirty-six hours. The train on the Sedalia
Warsaw and Southern left for Warsaw at
O'Clock and proceeded for a distance of ten
miles. when the track was found to be flooded
with water and further progress impossible.
Persons arriving at Richland who had been
down to view the river report the Gasconade
AS at a higher stage than ever before.
1t is still raining with the river rising at the rate
of eighteen inches an hour. Fences, soil and
crops are going and the pump house of the
Frisco railroad, more than half a mile from the
river and which escaped the waters a few weeks
ago. is now submerged to a depth above the
windows. Bear creek il a rushing torrent, car
rying everything before it. There are great
fears for the safety of the Frisco bridge at Ar
hngton.
Incessant rains for the past forty-eight hours
have again caused the small streams about Lex
ington to overflow their banks and flood the
lowlands. The Missouri river has risen twenty
inches during the past twenty-four hours and
is still rapidly rising.

Some of the Victims Horribly Disfigured by
the Fire.

the Fire.
Further particulars concerning the burning
silver mine in Bohemia show that the fire be-
gan in the Maria shaft. Speaking tubes con-
meet the surface with the various galleries.
When the fire was discovered no response could
be obtained from the tubes, but later to the
joy Of the rescuers, voices came from the gal
lery next to the burning level.
dense smoke, which killed four men using
the water hose, they falling to an enormous
depth among the flames and smoke, soon pre-
vented further attempts to rescue the impris-
oned miners. The smoke must have by this
time penetrated all the galleries and it is
feared that none of the entombed men will
escape. All the carpenters in Prizibram are at
work preparing collins for the dead. The fire
began at almost the lowest level.
The mines belong to the state, and have been
worked since the year 1880. They are the deep
est in the world. and yield fifteen tons Of pure
silver annually.
The fire has caused mourning in hundreds OF
families. The accident is classed as the most
appalling that has ever occurred in the district
All night long the work of searching for the
dead was continued by the volunteers who
offered their services for that purpose.
At an early hour yesterday morning sixty
seven bodies had been brought to the surface.
Some OF them presented most horrible appear
ance. In number of cases the fire had burned
away arms or legs and eaten the features until
they had lost all semblance to humanity
In other cases the bodies were most horribly
contOrted and the faces bore traces of the awful
anguish that had been suffered before death
came. Then, again. on the faces of Others
where suffocation had done its work and the
flames had not touched the bodies there was no
trace of pain. One hundred and fifty men are
still missing and all hope Of their being still
