FLOOD DAMAGE
 WORST IN HISTORY
Arkansas People Suffering Fearful Losses From Fl0Od-Thrilling Stories of Escape and Rescue
 of Refugees--Lives Lost.

Memphis, April 8.-At noon today anxiety over the Mississippi flood situation centered in the threaten ed reaches along the Arkansas and north Louisiana river shores. The trend of the flood is shown in the report of the river stages at o'clock this morning. The Missis- sippi had receded one foot and two- tenths at Memphis and had risen one foot and one-tenth at Vicks- burg.
 Leaders fighting to hold the lev ees on the Mississippi shore declare they will hold off the tide. Never theless, the exodus in north Missis- sippi at several threatened points has been begun.
 South of Memphis today there are minor breaks in the embankments guarding the Arkansas shores, and while these crevasses temporarily relieve the strain on the Tensas and Yazoo dikes, yet the water hourly works back into the main torrent. In Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana villages behind the levees alarm over the threat of the oncoming crest is spreading and hundreds of villagers and farmers have fled to the highlands.
 Scenes in the newly threatened districts reproduce those of the up- per river points where the flood has crashed through the guarding dikes. There seems to be one. ex- ception, however. Refugees from the flooded acres of the Arkansas country insist there has been loss of life there since Saturday. These reports have not been verified. Nevertheless, river men say that in floods of far less proportions than this one, there have been fatalities among those who dared to remain at their homes almost until the mo- ment the tide reached them.
 At all river landings south of Helena preparations have been made to meet the floods advance. Steamers and huge rafts are anch- ored at many points to provide means of escape for persons caught in the floods path. A report reach ed Vicksburg this noon that there had been a break in the levee at Ben Lemond, Miss, during the night. It proved to have been only a slight defect in the dike, but at first the inhabitants of Ben Le- mond were so alarmed that, before it was discovered the break was only normal the entire population had hurried into boats and were prepared to make for the high lands.

Rail Traffic Disoraanlzed.

Memphis, April S.--Because of the suspension of train service over the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern, the St. Louis Southwest ern, the Frisco and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific lines directly west of Memphis, westbound pas senger traffic is being diverted west of tue Mississippi river, most of it going over the Louisville X Nash vile to Guthrie, Ky, or Evans vile, Ind, and to southwestern points to St. Louis. Passengers for Arkansas points north of Hot Springs, for Oklahoma and Dallas, Fort Worth and other northern, central and western Texas points are carried in that manner. Some traffic is going to south Texas points by yicksburg, Miss.
 Many persons desiring to go to Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas are travelling by steamer to Helena, Ark, and Helena by railway lines.
 River traffic is being restored in this district. Five steamers re- sumed operations today. As many more are expected to return to the river tomorrow. Ten or twelve boats were tied up at Memphis when the flood assumed serious proportions about 10 days ago.

Governmcnt Feeding Refugees.

Washington, April S.-Approxi- mately 2,500 refugees at Hickman. Ky, must be fed, according to an estimate telegraphed to the war de- pertinent today by Capt. Logan or the quartermaster department. He says about half of this number are being fed by the city. Twenty thousand rations are due there to- day. The principal trouble at Tip tonville, Tenn, according to a re- port from Maj. Normoyle, is the lack of forage. He requests 100000 pounds of hay and 60,0O0 pounds of corn. There are about 1000 head .of stock to be fed.
 The department has sent to Co., lumbus, Ky, 10000 rations with 3O.- GOO pounds of corn and 50.00O of hay; to New Madrid, Mo-, 10000 rations and at Charlottesville, Mo, 2000 rations.
 In addition there were sent large amounts of lime and crude oil and number of field ranges.

Scenes at Reelfoot Lake.

Nashville, Tenn, April s.-At Tiptonville, in Lake county, the Mississippi river was at stand this morning but the backwater in the Reelfoot basin at Bluebank was rising at the rate of two inches an hour. Practically all of the women and children have been gotten out of the flooded district and the loss of life will be small. According to a report at Tiptonville today a barge on which 10 or i2 Lake coun- ty negroes, who had been working on the levee at Hickman, were re- turning home, was found wrecked.
 A pathetic story was brought from Hathaway yesterday after noon, when two men came begging boat to save the towns stock. Following the 1897 flood the village built a huge mound and when the flood this year came the stock was driven there. There were 200 or 300 head on the mound when it be- gan washing away. The men car ed for the animals by tying them to tree limbs to keep their heads above water, but many were drowned. At last reports indica- tions were that only 30 could be saved. The house occupied by the men was washed off it's foundation. In the same vicinity a house con- talning a mother and several chil- dren was washed away while the husband was off looking after stock. A nelghbor saved the family.
 No provision have yet been re- celved at TiptonyilIe. The town is three feet above wafer.

Thrilling Tales of Rescue.

Memphis, April S.-Two hun dred levee workers narrowly es- caped being swept away when the embankment caved at mile post 2i, i6 miles south of Helena, Ark, yes terday. l.. Archdale, the foreman, told of the hairbreadth escape of himself and his crew today.
 T was on the angle when the break started" says Archdale. T saw the earthwork going and shouted to my men. We ran and, in another moment, there was a roar such as heralds the approach of great storm. When we looked back the flood was racing inland through 30-foot breach. The force of the Aater's rush was ter rife. Within an hour the gap was 300 feet wide and the velocity of the flow seemed to he gaining. It was appalling"
 Archdale and his men are at work at another point today, repeating the 2i mile post battle.
 The town of Modoc, in the imme- diate vicinity of the break, is 20 feet under water today. The town had practically been depopulated and those who remained took to flight when the roar of the water gave warning of it's coming. The steamer Kate Adams was in the vicinity when the levee broke and rescued those imperiled. A hun- dred or more panic-stricken ne- groes were taken from a govern meni barge moored to tho bank. Later. motor launches went into the flood and rescued a number oi farm hands from the roofs Of their cabins, from the trees and peaks Of knolls which were above ihe water How many were swept away will t0i be known unlil ihe water re- |eedes.

Desperate Work on Levees.

Greenville, Miss, April S.-Anti- cipating the already begun move- ment of the Mississippi rivers un- precedented rise from the central district north and south of Mem- phis, swiftly to the south, experts at the head of a thousand men are at work today on a stretch of ten miles of levee just north of Green vile. Eighty thousand dollars has been expended for bags of sand. Chief Engineer Shackelford at noon expressed hope that the levees would hold. The stretch north of Greenville is the only weak spot in this district.

\ Thousand Marnnned.

Memphis, April S.-One thousand or more persons are marooned on mounds, house tops and in a church at Wyanoke, Ark, according to the statement of Mayor Crump, who re- turned to Memphis this afternoon after an inspection of the flood sit uation i2 miles south of Memphis.
 Boats have been sent to these refugees this afternoon. They are in sore straits, hungry and without drinking water. The refugees in the church built up stages with pews as the water rose. There will be no loss of life.

The water was rising con- tinuously and immediate flight was imperative. A steer, raised as pet, was the nearest animal. The farm CT mounted it's back and the steer forded the water, taking the man to safety.
