THOUSANDS Of HOMES WRECKED
BY SERIOUS MISSISSIPPI FLOODS

hours later the Big Four levee on
the Ohio river broke Four hundred
laborers were marooned on this levee,
|, but were rescued without loss of life
by me steamer Marquard.
Several Levees Still HoIo.
While showing the effects of the
waters lashing, all the main levees
in Arkansas, Tennessee and Missis-
sippi are reported intact early today,
but It is conceded that a hard fight
must be made, especially in the upper
ST. Francis district, to save the en-
bankments. The Tennessee levee,
west OF Hickman, KY, which protects
the Reelfoot Lake region, is sloughing
to some extent, and the water is
| tapping the crest, but it is thought
that the levee can be savec.
Near Memphis, at Star Landing, in
Arkansas, opposite Lake Cormorant,
Miss, the bank is caving near the
base of the levee and government
forces are being concentrated at that
point. South of Memphis the flood
has lot reached the acute stage.
The levees in both the upper and
lower Yazoo and Tensas districts are
reported strong. Inland streams are
bank-full, but so far no breaks of
consequence have been reported.

fer with government engineers and
repr esentatives of Arkansas counties

At Hickman and Columbus, KY, anC
New Madrid, Mo-, and other flooded
towns the situation is serious. Refu-
gees are f1ockirg into these and other
shelters from the lowlands and the
little towns are being sorely tried in
caring for their unexpected guests.
At Memphis this morning the river

Train Service Stopped.

Cairo, ILL.,, April 4.-Cairo is with
out train service and is almost sur
rounded by water because of the
breach early today of the Mobile and
Ohio levee, which protected the drain
age district. All railroads pass thru
the drainage district, which is now
under from 5 to Is feet of water.
The lives of 500 workmen were en-
dangered and property values in ex-
cess of 100000 was submerged when
the Mississippi river tore crevasse
125 feet long in the dyke.
The levee broke after more than
300 workmen had fought for nve
hours to fill depression 70 feet long
and 5 feet deep.
Five hundred men were fighting on
the Big Four levee, trying to stem
the rise of the Ohio. Fearing this
dyke would not hold under the strain
a tug was sent out to bring workers
in.
The leyee broke near the bridge
junction. The river overflowed the
''Y' levee before reaching the Mo-
bile and Ohio embankment.
Two levee patrolmen who were di-
rectly in front of the crevasse, mar
rowly escaped death. The waters hurl-
ed them from their feet, and it was
with great difficulty that they reached
the embankment.
5000 Acres Flooded.
The territory flooded is just north
of Cairo and comprises about 5000
acres. The manufacturing plants in
the district are the Chicago Mill and
Lumber company; Greer, Wilkerson
company; the Pioneer Coal and Shaft
company; the Farmers Handy Wagon
company, which recently purchased
the plant of the Modern House Build
ing company; the Sears Roebuck
plant, and the Weis-Peterson Box
company.
Besides these plants the lumber
yard of Upham Alger company, with
millions of feet of hardwood lumber,
was submerged. The Chicago mill al
so mad a large stock of lumber. 1t
is estimated that the large number
of homes, business houses and other
structures flooded in the drainage
district number nearly 1000.
Future City, negro settlement in
the flooded territory, has q popura-
ton of more than a thousand. Ur-
bandale, with white population of
about one hundl ed, had many well
built homes. No loss Of life is report
ed thus far.

than ten thousand persons have left
their homes in the vicinity of the
Mississippi river in the district be-
tween Hickman, KY, and Helena, Ark.
About half of this number were driven
out by rising waters and the remain
levees on either side of the river. Es-
Inmates made from necessarily incom-
plete reports place the total damages
in the section mentioned at one mil
lion dollars, with the possibility that
the amount may be increased 50 per
cent; and, should there be serious
collapse of levees no attempt is made
to estimate the damage.
At Hickman, KY, two thousand
workingmen and their families are in
a practically destitute condition. They
are being cared for by the townspeo-
pie, together with an additional thou
sand taken from the Dorena, Mo-,
community in boats, when the leVee
at Dorena broke Tuesday.
1t is impossible to estimate the
number of refugees at Memphis from
outside sections Twelve hundred or
more people at Memphis were driven
from their northern Memphis homes
when small levee admitted back
water Monday.
Railroad schedules are badly de-
moralized. Illinois Central trains are
being detourei here. Hickman peo-
pie expect train to arrive TO-DAY
with food and tents.
Memphis weather buraau officials
early today received private reports
that the government levee south OF
Hickman had given way, threatening
the flooding Of the Reelfort lake ba-
sin. Direct communication with Hick-
man was later secured and the report
denied.
Large forces of men are at work
strengthening the levees north and
south of Memphis. Hope was express
ed today that they will withstand the
record breaking pressure of the river.
Cairo, ILL.,, Cut Off.
Interest in the flood situation today
centers about Cairo, Ill. where the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers converge
and where, to show their mightiness,
as it were, they crushed two levees
during the night. Today 5000 acres
of the Cairo drainage district is sub
merged; Future City, town which
hous ed one thousand persons is inun-
dated and a score of industrial plants,
principally saHmills, are out of com
mission. The city proper, however,
is in no greater danger than On yes
terday. The main 1evees are still
intact and those directing the fight
are confident that they will hold.
The Mobile and Ohio levee on the
west side of the district was first to
go late last night. A gap 200 feet wide
was torn in the embankment. Several

A dull, drab, muddy complexion, or blotchy, plmply or freckled skin. can by quite simple, harmless and mex pensive method, be changed to one of fiower-Eke radiance and purity. One ounce of common mercolized wax, sold by druggists generally, will remove the most unsightly complexion in from one to two weeks.

SPLENDID WORK DONE
 IN MoosUP PARISH.
Tribute to Labors of Rev. J. H. Brod- eriok, Now Pastor at St. Patriok's Church.

Besides giving abundant testimony to the spiritual influence exerted by Rev. John H. Broderick in his pastor ate of IF years at Moosup at All Hal lows church, the Moosup Journal men, tions some of the evidences of mate rial prosperity which the parish enjoy ed under this pastor, who is now locat- ed at St, Patrick's church in this city. The Journal says:
 Father Frederick became pastor Of All Hallows' church in January, 1896, following the pastoraate of Rev. J. A. Creedon. When he came to his work here Father Frederick faced 8 parish debt of over $6.000, the property was in a run down condition, and the out look was anything but encouraging. With zeal and persistency that has ever been characteristic of lis pastor ate here, Father Frederick set at work to better conditions, with the result that the parish was soon freed from debt, and a handsome new brick church edifce has been erected in place of the old wooden structure, the present ediflce representing about $25,000 in value.
 In addition, valuable property ad- Joln1ng mas been acquired, including the present convent, also property to be used ultimately for the erection of parochial school, the value of the en- tire property here reaching to about $50,00 A church edifice has also been erected by Father Broderick at Plainfeld, and also one at Sterling, each representing an expenditure of about $10,0o0., The church at Plain- field recently became a separate parish. Notwithstanding all of these achieve ments the parish here is entirely free from debt and there is a handsome balance in the treasury. The parish has steadily grown so that before Plainfield was set off it comprised about 5000 souls, and now has about 2,500.
 In going to St Patrick's church, Nor wich, Father Frederick returns as pas- tor to church where 27 years ago he was given his first appointment and served for a period of about fourteen months as curate. He was born in Willimantic 55 years ago. After leav- ing St. Patrick's church as curate he was a year in Thompsonville and eight years in Meriden. going from that city to Moosup. St. Patiick's parish, where he now goes as pastor is considered the finest and most desirable in this diocese,

CORRUPTION ALLEGED IN
 A WIRELESS CONTRACT.
Heated Debate Over it in British
 House of Commons.

London, Oct. 11.-A heated debate on the British governments contract with the Marconi wireless comEany Tor the establishment of an imperial wire less service took place today in me House of Commons.
 Attorney Geheral Sir Rufus Isaacs, Postmaster General Herbert Samuels and Chancellor of the ExcheQuer David Lloyd George denied emphatically that they had profited by the governments contract with Marconi.
 Several newspapers had demanded an investigation and had strongly hinted that corruption underlay the remarkable rise in the price of Marconi shares from 15 shillings (s3.75), to 2 ($45), before the public knew of the agreement.
 Several members of Parliament att tackled the government for making a contract without giving other wireless systems a chance to tender for it.
