ball season in Butte was opened this after
noon under decidedly auspicious circum-

desired and the attendance numbered
nearly 1000. A parade with the two clubs
in uniforms in carriages, and headed by the
Butte and Boston band, took place at one
O'Clock. The game was well played through
out, although it was a little too ono sided
to be very interesting. Border, the Mis-
soula catcher, was injured in the prelimi-
mary practice and MeVey had to take his
place. This proved serious handicap to
the visitors. Harkness, for the home team,
pitched q great game until he saw
that the game was won, when be let up and
saved himself for tomorrow. He also
made the first homo run of the season.
Wilson caught finely, and Smith, the

superb game. Powers gave good satlsfac-

ST.. Louis, May 14.-The Mississippi is
rising at the rate Of an inch an hour. Alon Q
the river front damage is not yet of mo-
mentous character. Train switching is
almost at gtandstill along the lower
tracks, and handling freight on the wharf
and river boats is much interfered with.
This, with flooded cellars and backwster in
sewers, constitutes the worst feature of the
food in the city proper. Above and below
the worst damage is being done. From as
far up the Missouri as st. Charles
and Alton, on the Mississippi,
come stories OF damage done and
threatened. Near st. Charles. on Mullappy
island, seven families are on the roofs Of
houses waiting the arrival of tug, which
has gone to their assistance. At Alton
bottoms are flooded and the river four or
five miles wide.
The new water works have been abau-
doned and the old plant ia being used.
Sparks Touring mills are closed on account
of. foods, as is the Illinois Glass works.
The Bluff Line railroad trestles are being
held down BY loaded trains, quarries flooded
and thousands of acres of farming land on
both sides of the river ruined for the sea-
son. At Madison low land is flooded and
the new levee will break before morning
At Venice the water is over the main street
and traffic is at an end.
At Brooklyn the situation is growing
worse. The National stock yards at East
st. Louis are more like sea than land,
though the town itself is not much affected,
as is the case with East Carondelet. In
South ST. Louis the Missouri car works are
suffering from high water The Missouri
Pacific shops have two feet Of water in
them. The st. Louis and PEPPER cotton
congresses are damaged to tho extent Of
$4,000. In Carondelet houses are dam
aged and considerable other damage is ba-
ing done. The bridge over the river at
Despere is likely to 60 out any moment.
The Glendale zinc works have suspended
operations, aud SO it goes Throughout the
flooded district.
Hundreds of poor people in the flooded
districts have been driven from homo to
