MILWAUKEE,, March f9.-Reports to the
offices Of the st. Paul railway say that all

ing condition. The ice in nearly all of

The first real washout Of the season on the
St. Paul road occurred this morning near
Wausaukee, about twenty miles east OF
Prairie du Chen About eighteen feet of
high bank was washed away to a depth
of about six feet causing a delay to trains
of two hours. The trouble was temporarily
overcome by the roadbed being cribbed up
with timbers so as to permit the passage Of
trains until complete repairs can be made
The reports at the general offices of the
Wisconsin Central are to the effect that the
water is exceedingly high and in some places
threatening but no damage to railroad
tracks has been done.
A special to the Wisconsin from Richland
Centre, Wis, says: The worst flood in years
prevails here. Water Is running through
the streets, cellars are flooded and sewers
overilowed. Teams and men are at work
banking up the river which Is rising fast
Mills and lumber yards are in great dan
ger.
special from Black River Falls says:
Black river is rising rapidly, and cellars and
low lands are flooded. Should the ice move

MEMPHIS, March 19-Rumore OF sensa-
tional nature are afoat today as to the
breaking of the levees above and below this
city, in consequence causing serious damage
to property and stock. So far these reports
have not been verified in full, but sufficient
is known to warrant the statement that be-
fore nlghtfall an additional 200 square miles
of territory will be submerged. The points
where the levees are alleged to have failed
are remote from telegraph stations, making
1t impossible to get information. In the
territory covered by the relief steamers under
the supervision of the cirizens' relief COM
mitee of Memphis. appalling facts came to
light this morning. Drowning negroes, men,
women and children. are reported until the
list now numbers halt hundred.
The relief committee thus far has ample
funds to feed and clothe all the needy, but
the necessity is increasing because of the
difficulty in controlling the ignorant refugees
and preventing them from spreading over
the city and soliciting aims of individuals.
Telegrams from points siXty-fve miles
south of this place ask for steamers to rescue
people left by last trip boats. Two steamers
were dispatched east and west and are ex-
pected to return at midnight with several
hundred persons and a lot of stock IL the
