ST. Louis, June 10-A break IN the
Illinois Central dyke came at thirty min
utes after midnight. In i've minutes, a
mighty, maddened torrent was tearing
through the large residence section Of East
St, Louis. One half Of East st. Louis is
now buried IN the flood and 10000 per-
sons are homeless and at the mercy OF the
raging waters. Families are penned up
prisoners in the garrets Of their homes or
on roofs. They are without food and are
crying for help Two thousand people
who sought refuge in the Washington
school, the Franklin school, Sc Mary's
church aud the plant Of the st. Louis Syr-
up Refining company are all prisoners and
are suffering greatly.
The city has appealed to st. Louis for
small boats. People, thousands Of whom
were sleeping, felt certain the city was
safe, but we're warned BY the blowing OF
sand train whistles, BIZ the firing of riot
guns and BY the cries of those who had
been working on the embankment. The
water this morning Is thirty-three to thirty
feet deep all over the eastern half Of the
CITY. This morning, the floods extends

the reckoning.
The Montpelier officials took the matter
under adyisement finally coming to the
decision that it was a fair proposition
