tradition as the exact birthplace of the
Christ is situated in the lower part of
one OF these caves reached by two
slopes now converted into flights Of
stone steps.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 5.-About

Shawneetown is rs miles below

situated in valley of extremely low
land, with hills skirting it in the rear
and with 25-foot levee front run ming
from hill to hill. The town is very
much in the position of fortified city,
and when the levee gave way q mile
above town under the pressure of the
very high river the water shot through
2o.foot opening and struck the place
like hurricane, sweeping every thin
before it. Houses were turned and
tossed about like boxes. The
People Were Not Warned
of the break, and for that reason SO
many were caught. Those at home
sought refuge in second stories and on
house tops. Those in the streets were
carried before the avalanche of water
and probably a majority were drowned.
Citizens came from the place by skiffs
to q telephone several miles and asked
for aid from Evansville. They said
that more than 200 people were
drowned and they had reason to be.
ieve it would reach 500 or even 1000.
The water stands from 20 to 80 feet
all over the town.
All telephone and to legraph wires are
