raging waters of Grand river continues
increasing in volume. The track of the
Wabash road for a few miles is washed
out and all trains are detained. The
water is slowly rising, and should it go
foot higher it will cut off the water

New ORLEANS, May 10.-The Nor
CANA levee, Point Coupee parish, right
bank of the Mississippi, the largest In
the state, If not In the world, gave way
Monday night. Worst of all the crevasse
is at point where break will cause
the greatest amount Of damage, since II
will let the water down on Point Coupee,
Iberville, West Baton Rouge, Assump-
ton, Ascension, La Fourche, Iberia, St.
Mary and St. Martins parishes, and
may food all the country between it
and the gulf.
This levee broke in 1884, when II
caused some $40, 0O0, 900 damage, cutting
down the sugar crop of the state mater
tally. 1t was partially broken in 1890,
but enough of II was head then to great
" reduce the amount of damage done
by II.
Details Not Known.
Until something more is learned Of
the extent of the break 1t is impossible
to make any estimate of the possible
loss, but in view Of the very high con-
dition of the river it is expected to be
very large. The crevasse, if as serions
as feared, will stop the Southern Pacific
and Texas Pacific railroads in few
days.
Extremely CRITICAL.
The situation here h regarded as more
critical than for years past, with the
chances in favor of serious crevasses
and overfows, and bad news from this
section is to be feared in the next ten or
twelve days.
Another Report Makes 1t Worse.
Another report has reached this city
regarding the break In the Morganza
levee. Il Is 10 the effect that tremend-
Gus body of water is pouring through
the crevasse and that the entire country
from the river to the gulf will be flood
ed. The damage viii be enormous and
IN the neighborhood of 100000 or
s, 900, 900.
Tho Morganza lovee is situated near
Point Coupeein, the very center Of Lou
isiana.
The Trehe county, the best sugar
lands In the south, will be utterly de-
stroyed. Thirteen parishes will suffer,
and there can be no crops this year.
Great fears are entertained for the
towns and the villages in the line of tire
food. The greatest excitement is prev
alent in the city.

No Trains.
The train service out of the city has
been demorahzed for a week past, many
Of the roads giving up all attempts tc
run trains Along the Hopkins branch
Of the Kansas City, St. Joseph anG
Council Bluffs railway, the food is the
worst that has been known for many
years. The valleys on either side OF
the One Hundred and Two river from
Hopkins south to Barnard, have been
nnder water for more than week.
AT Agency, Mo-, the water Is running
over the railway tracks near the Santa
Fe depot in the north part of the town.
About 200 yards of track has been
washed ont between the depot and the
river bridge east of town. The entire
valley from bluff to bluff is now broad
expanse of water and the volume is in
creasing hourly. A rise Of three feet
more and the town of Agency will be
under water. The bridge is believed to
be saved, but number of smaller wood
en- bridges have been washed away.
Tho oats crop has been ruined and there
will be lees than half crop of small
fruit and garden vegetables.
At Oregon, Mo-, the Nodaway river Is
two and half miles wide and much
stock is perishing. The Missouri river
bottom is also fun OF water The mail
from Mound City to Bigelow Is being
carried in boat. Railroad traffic Is
more or less delayed all along the line
and at some places is wholly aban-
doned.
At Farkio, Mo-, a steady rain has
fallen since Saturday night. The
Farkio bottom is still flooded Trains
can not get below Fairfax. The out
look for farmers and business is dis
eouraging.
At Plattsburg the great flood has
almost cut the city off from mail COM
munication with the outside world.
Both of the railways are waterbound.
The Rock Island and Santa Fe's bridges
over the Platte river are both under
water and liable to be swept away at
any time Loaded freight cars will be
put ON them to hold them down.
