THE WATERS DESCENDED
THE FLOODS DOING GREAT
DAMAGE.
Continued Interruption of Traffic
People Driven From Their
HOmes-The Illinois River Is
Higher Than STAGE 1874.

Rock ISLAND, His, May 7.-Rock
Island hasn't seen passenger or freight
train from the east on the Rock Island
rond Since Wednesday night and mails
from he cast have been few since that
time. This is all on account of the
WaShoutS between here and Burcan
Trains are scattered all along the track
between here and the flooded portions.
II Is the longest interruption of traffic in
the history OF the road.
WARSAW, ILL.,, May !. .-AIexandria,
Mo, located just opposite here has been
flooded by breaking of the Egyptian
levcc which skirts the Dcs Moircs river.
The local rain caused n heavy rise in that
turbulent steam and despite all efforts
to save 1t the waters broke over, doing
incalculablc damagcto farms. Reaching
Alexandria the place was soon flooded
and the people were driven from their
homes.
MORRIS. Ill, May 7.-Thc rain has
been falling with such persstcncy here
tor the last four days that great damage
has been done to the crops. The Illinois
river has risen to height which has
compelled people in the lower part OF
town to move out.
PEORIA, ILL.,, May 7.-Rcscuing parties
are out in the LaMarch submerged dis
trict all night and have found six of
twenty endangered families. They have
been over the entire district and do not
know whether the remaining families are
safe or not. The damage will reach a
very large figure, no estimate of which
can be yet made. The destruction is
complete and there is scene of veiest
dcsolation.
The flood is due to the giving way of
the great Marsh dixie, Is miles long and
protecting strip of bottom land about
two miles wide. The first break was at
a point opposite pckin last night. The
crcvasse was about 600 feet wide and
increased rapidly, as the Illinois river
had reached a stage not exceeded since
lS4l. Twenty families living in the
bottom possessed a considerable amount
of live stock, which with houses and
farm implements have been lost.

ter to PROT. T.. 4s Lewis,


Prof. Z. b. Lewis, who is ono of the
Ashcville football team which is to play
Ncwbcrn at Charlotte during the Goth
May celebration, has received a letter
from Thos. {. Daniels, of the Ncwbcrn
team, relative to the match. Mr.. Daniels
SAYS:
"Ncwbcrn has right to get her play
ers from where she wants to. All that
Ashcvillc needs to do is to pull in and
take licking in good shape, then 90
home and learn to play football before
they begin to crow. One little inSignti-
cant victory, and that over parcel OF
kids by the narrowest possible margin,
should not make you too vain.elorious.
"lt we had plenty of time would
practice up a set of kids from here and
90 up and give YOU a drubbing. III do
it myself with only SNAP. back and a
quarter to comply with the rules. =.
We would be more than likely to have
the umpire. There viii be several parties
in Charlotte pcrtrctl, familiar with the
rules, and we may select them II not,
however, we will take the umpire, and
you the referee. We should he obliged il
YOU would present an honest man for
the same"
1t is evident that Mr.. Daniels expects
a waIkovcr. llcmay mean bluff, But
the Ashcvillc ioutbalistS do not bluff,

to say a good many foolish things,

would never have put pen to.
IL being the first of the round dances
to be brought into Britain, it quite

it always seemed very funny that Lord
Byron should have been among the first
to raise loud and righteously indig

after all. He never danced.
