Giant Embankment Near Helena, Ar

Continual Rains.

With the water overlapping lue eiAH

from Marion, Ark, and other points,

which the waters would flow toward

favorable weather conditions have
added to the seriousness Of the Sit

The stage Of the river reached on
the Memphis gauge Thursday night
at o'clock was SO 4, rise OF 4
for the preceding twelve hours, lacked
tut little over a foot of the maximum
gauge predicted by Forecaster Emer;;,
4G.5. and there is al interval OF at
least two days before the crest is due.
At Helena, Ark, the north protec-
ton levee has been swept 2way, ana
the main leyee is endangered. Inc
entire north section Of the city and
several small towns in the vicinity
arc inundated. Conditions along Wolf

breaks have yet been reported, the
leyecs continue to slough into the

The approaching food situation at
New Orleans aggravated Thursday oy
the announcement of the local wea.h-
| er bureau that a stage OF 20 feet Will
be reached at New Orleans, owing to
! rains of the past two days over the
| Mississippi valley.
Nineteen feet has been the general
ly predicted stage. The gauge Thurs
day read 1872, with the water, which
has reached the top Of a low section
of the levee in the down district
at Canal street, beginning to wash
the sand bags, which have ben piled
ON the leyee. The swollen river was
an object of interest to hundrds OK
