rHE RISING WATER CAUSES ALARM


ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The high water here
abouts is beginning to cause considerable
alarm, and grave apprehensions are felt
that the disastrous floods of last May will
be repeated, if not surpassed. The water
has risen at an unprecedented rate since
Sunday morning.
On Saturday night the gauge stood 2S,
and at the same time last night 33 feet was
shown The highest point last year was 36
feet, which was reached on May 10.
A four-foot rise will cover the first floors
from Vine to Morgan streets. Numerous
cellars are already inundated by back
water in the sewers The lower floors of
elevators on both sides of the river are in
undated, and the waves are rapidly rising
to the second floors

MELUsKY's CLOSE GALL.
He Was Almost Killed in Runaway


He Was Almost Killed in Runaway
Accident.
Joseph Melusky, one of the most promi-
nent and popular of our Polish citizens, had
very narrow escape from death while
diving down Main street yesterday after
noon. He says it was the closest call he
ever had and those who witnessed the acci-
dent say his escape from death was miracu-
lous.
Where arrangements have been made for
street paving at the corner of Main and Oak
streets there is a drop of about ten inches.
When Melusky's wagon made the drop
yesterday it threw him from the seat to the
shafts. At the same time the seat fell upon
the horses back and caused it to run away.
Melusky hung over the shaft helpless as the
horse dashed down Main street at a mad pace
and the wagon collded with one owned by
| Christ Schmidt upsetting it. The runaway
continued running and Melusky tried to lift
himself from his perilous position, but was
unable to do 50.
At the Pennsylvania depot the wagon was
| toppled over with Meusky beneath it and
the horse was stopped. When Melusky was
taken from beneath the wreck he was moan
ing and evidently suffering great pain. He
was conscious but when his friends carried
him to his home on White street they feared
he was fatally injured. An examination by
physician dispelled their fears however
The young man had sustained fractures Of
three ribs two on the left side and one on the
right, and few scalp wounds. To-day he
W as resting easy and the physician said there
was no reason to fear dangerous results.

THE FRENCH SOLDIER.
His Power Of Endurance and His Intel
Iigence > Imtiring Energy.

iiEente II htlrihE Energy.
There is one quality in the French
soldier which gives him a supreme
value. 1t has. By the writer's Of his
own country, been called endurance,
but perhaps that word in English
hardly gives the equivalent Of what
is meant: it is rather a power Of re-
cuperation and Of extreme effort for
a particular object which distin-
guishes him, says the Contemporary
Review. 1t goes side by side with a
peculiar gayety which shows him the
lighter view Of the darkest case.
There is another quality which in
days Of short service and extremely
rapid action is OF no less Importance
lit is his intelligence.
The two combined more than com
pensate for those qualities in which
the critics of other nations find him
lacking. The conclusions, for ex-
ample, at which a casual observer
might arrive in regard to the march
ing power or rapldity Of French
regiment, or the number Of stragglers
which it would leave on a forced
march, or the minimum amount Of
food or sleep required by the men in
difficult circumstances, would, as a
rule, be entirely erroneous.
A type Of man whom many would
consider the least able to endure
fatigue is. on the contrary, the most
severely tried and the most heavily
burdened Of any soldier in the modern
armies 1t has. indeed, been cFiti-
cism passed by most military authori-
ties in Europe that the French line
has always carried into action a
weight which seriously impaired its
value. In 1870 this was certainly
the case, and even nowadays, when
everything in the accoutrement has
been reduced to bare necessities, the
French private in full kit If expected
TO march, and succeeds in marching,
with the weight upon him Of every
thing that will make him independent
of the impedimenta.of the army.
It has been the policy Of the
French military authorities at all
times to give to their infantry mo-
bility superior TO that Of their oppo.
nents, and to effect this they have
relied to the utmost upon the energy
of the troops at their command.
That this mobility will be of the
highest utility and that its impor-
tance increases daily with the
changes Of method which have been
introduced in warfare cannot be de-
MED, and it ID witness to the force
OF the material upon which the con-
scription draws that the strain has
not proved too great under the hard
est conditions Of the maneuyers and
experimental marches by which it's
effects are tested.
