DIVER REACHES HI6H
STACE AT ST. LOUIS
People In East St Louis Arc
Thrown Into Panic.
BRAVE EFFORTS TO SAVE LEVEES
Five Thousand Persons Driven From
Their Homes by Wild Rush of Wa
ters—People Warned of Danger b>
Blowing of Steam Whistles.
&t. Louis, June 10—The river this
morning reached a stage of 37.9 feet
the highest point during the present
flood. East St. Ixruis, with a popula
tion of 32,000, having large manufae
tuning interests and the terminal point
for railroads from the north, east ami
•outh, is partly under water and will
probably be totally submerged.
Menaced From Three Side*.
The southern half of East St. Ivouis
1* deep in the flood and the city’s 2,500 |
levee builders have fallen back on
.Missouri avenue in the attempt to
save the remainder of the city, men
aced by swelling waters from three
aides. Broadway, the central east and i
weat thoroughfare, has been abandoned
to the flood. Lee Harper, former city i
attorney, says the water will be 2 feet
deep in front of the city hall before
€ o’clock this evening. Seven miles
of water pressing from the south and i
southeast overcame the city's line ot
defense this morning and 5,000 per-
sous were driven from their homes.
Numerous reports of drowning have
been received, but the East St. Louis
police have thus far learned no names
of victims.
One thousand men were working on
the levee when it broke. Several
hours before the final break they had
the active assistance of hundreds of
women and children. The break
came at the St. Louis Valley crossing
of the Illinais Central embankment J2
miles south of the relay depot. While
as many men, women and children as
could stand on the embankment were
packing sand bags to the rails to
prevent a break, the resistless current
broke through the wall of earth and
•ported in rivulets in the faces of
those who were carrying sand bags up
the bank. Bags thrown into the open
ings by dozens of men were tossed by
the waters like feathers.
Swam For Their Lives.
Then the workers fled from their
useless task and the alarm was given
by the ringing of bells and blowing of
whistles in every part of the city. A
few of the workers in the embank
ment remained at their posts until the
rushing waters made -it necessary for
them to swim for their lives. Then
they joined their companions in warn
ing the residents of the thickly settled
■district of their danger.
Awakened families saw the water
In the streets. When they were ready
to leave with their hurriedly collected
stock of necessities, the flood was
at their doorsills. They fled to the
norm. The Washington school was
nearest point of safety. Many made
for the high ground near the Illinois
Central tracks. Men from the Alta
Sita and Denver side who had been
working on the abandoned levee has
tened to those localities to tell their
neighbors of their danger. Ev

The water is not expected to reach its
level In the flooded parts of the city
before noon. Mayor Parker predicts
that when the level is reached the wa
ter will be 2 feet higher that at 7
•’clock this morning.
Undismayed by the defeat which has
come in their seven days’ battle with
the flood, the greater part of the levee
builders fell back to Broadway, where
It was at flr&t decided to resist the
water, but a half hour's survey of the
prospect convinced those in charge
that It was useless to try to keep the
water from Broadway and the flood

Appeal For State Troops.
An appeal from Mayor Cook to the
governor of Illinois for at-ate troops
to aid In guarding property was an-
terered by the promise that details ol
militia would he sent to Blast St.
itouis at once.
■A few hours before the break in the
lev*e, Ned Roberts, a negro employed
•• a levee builder, was kiiHed by mem
of the levee patrol for attempting
to tear down a portion of the dike
fils act was caused by anger because
he was not allowed to draw his pay
at once.
At 9 o’clock the water was threaten
lug the north and east sides, preserved
temporarily by the Baltimore & Ohk
•allroad embankment, and had reach
«d to the viaduct only seven blockt
east of the city hall. In this publk
building a foot and a half of watei
had already collected. All low points
of Che city are under water. When
the break occurred, warnings were
fl-rst sent through the city by messen
gers who discharged firearms, bleu
horns and shouted In stentorian tones
the news of the flood arrival. Lights
gleamed In houses where the occu
pants had confidence in the embank
mant.
Flight For Safety.
Persons scantily attired emerged
from their homes and in a few min
utes the whole populace of the los
district attacked, six miles in area
were fleeing to higher ground. A»
the noise of the approaching flood wa>
heard the flight, at first rapid, with
some sembHince of orde*’ assumed a
panic stage. All efforts to assure the
inhabitants that there was sufficient
time to escape unless a gap was wash
ed 1 through the embankment failed to
convince them, and most of them fled
without any effort to save property.
Messengers were sent to the main
portion of the city telling of the dan
ger and the greatest excitement pre
vailed. As the bottoms Ailed and the
river gained a larger entrance, the
terror of the business section of the
city grew Intense. It was all the
greater because of the darkness and
fear that while a guard, was maintain
ed in one direction, the torrent would
break through at another point and
engulf the p’ckloss inhabitants between
two floods. By the thousands they
began to desert their Homes and ran
vainly up and <jown the streets seek
ing a place of succor.
Refugees Scantily Clad.
Hundreds of families from the choic
est residence portions of the city car
rying trunks, grips, bundles of cloth
ing and valuables began to cross Eads
bridge toward St. Louis. Most of the
refugees were scantily clad. Strong
men carried aged women in their
arms. Barefooted children were In the
procession which continued steadily
over the bridge. Hundreds of others
sought protection in the second story
of the public library building. As the
water encroached about many dashed
through the shallow overflow to find
u more secure refuge. In terror of the
rising tide of water refugees in hun
dreds thronged the street, crowded the
tars, and bsought public officials. In
the city hall alone 500 homeless per
sons with scant belongings as they
had been able to seize on short notice,
were assembled. Provisions for the
time being were supplied them.
Business Suspended.
Business is totally suspended. The
streets are filled with almost panic
stricken inhabitants. Women with
children in arms, men earrying house
hold furniture, horses, dogs and other
remains of once comfortable domestic
establishments parade the streets.
The common direction of all move
ment Is toward the bridge over which
the refugees are hurrying -to St. Louis
All traffic to East St. Ivouis from the
west side has been suspended and po
licemen tunned back all who attempt
ed the trip.
Thirty Lives Reported Lost.
Today Congressman W. A. Roden-
burg estimated that 30 lives were lost
in the fioodHng of the lower portion
of East St. Ijouis early this morning.
While general alarms were given by
the police and retreating levee work
ers with shouts and pistols, there was
not time to call at every house in the
thickly settled district, and 1 it is be
lieved many families in first story cot-1
tages awoke only when it was too late;
to escape. Levee workers who laid
down to rest on embankments, worn
out with hard labor, were caught and
drowned lik-e rats. It may never be
learned how many died this way.

MISS RUTH HANNA WEDS.
ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN.
Southern Passenger Saved From Prob
able Destruction.
Atlanta, June Ilk—But for the timely
discovery yesterday afternoon about
6 o’clock by a railroad section hand
at Constitution, a station 5 miles from
the city on the Southern road, a pas
senger train would have been wrecked
and a number of lives probably lost.
A rail had been removed by a gang of
outlaws and robbers, who did not stop
at wholesale murder in order to find
victime for their greed.
The heavy iron rail had been moved
ter enough to one side to give a train
a plunge down an embankment, and a
train going at the rate of speed usu
ally run along this point would have
meant a terrible wreck and a certainty
of many persons being seriously in
jured and probably many killed.
It required 1 tools and strength to
remove the rfc.il and it is believed the
work was not that of an ordinary
criminal, but that the job was done
by desperate men skilled in such mur
derous methods to secure booty.
Daughter of Senator United In Mar
riage to Joseph D. McCormick.
Cleveland, O., June 10.—In the pres-
ence of a large and distinguished a/fr
semblage, Miss Ruth Hanna, youngesl
daughter of Senator and Mrs. M. A
Hanna, was united in marriage to Mr.
Joseph Medill McCormick, of Chicago,
at St. Paul’s Episcopal church here
at noon today. The wedding party
entered the church precisely at noon
ami passed down the center aisle to
the altar. The ushers preceded the
maHls. They were Howard M. Hanna,
of Cleveland, a couislu of the bride;
Joseph M. Patterson, of Chicago, a
cousin of the groom; Robert Allerton,
of Chicago; J. W. Beck, of New Chi
cago; Ernest Miner, of Cincinnati;
James Barney, of New York; William
WHlliams, of Philadelphia, and Mal
colm McBride, of Cleveland. The
maids approached the altar two by
two, Miss Florence Cobb and Miss
Mary Hopkinson Washington leading.
Following were Miss Clairs Hanna,
of Cleveland, a cousin of the bride,
with Miss Adelaids Hamilton, of Chi
cago; Miss Virginia Johnston, of Pitts
burg, with Miss Frances Lewis , ol
Portland, Ore.; Miss Laura McGinley,
of Pittsburg, with Miss Eleanor Pat-
terson, of Chicago, a cousin of the
groom.
The maid of honor was Miss Mary
McCurdy, of Cleveland, cousin of the
bride.
The betrothal ceremony' was per
formed by Bishop W. A. Leonard, as
sisted by Dr. Billings, of Croton,
Mass., Dr. H. McB. Drew, and Rev.
W. H, Jones, of this city.
The mimic, which was of rare merit,
was under the direction of Seabury C.
Ford. The church was decorated with
white peonies, five immense trees ol
the flowers standing in the chancel,
reaching to the top of the windows.
The president and Miss Roosevelt
were seated in the front pew on the
Hanna side of the church. The cer
emony was followed by a wedding
breakfast served at Gilmore’s, 150
guests being entertained.
House of Commons Extraordinary De
bate Causes Comment.
London, June 10.—'Perplexity is the
keynote of this morning’s ediltorlale
on the outcome of yesterday’s extraor
dinary debato in the house of com
mons, and much ironical comment is
made on the figure of "each for him
self" that the cabinet cuts. The Tory
Morning Post describes the sitting as
a “spot barred” debate in which every
one played “spot broke’’ and says the
debate has not cleared the air, but
shows tho air wants clearing.
This idea permeates the comments
in this morning’s paper: That even
If the cabinet was content with the
“open mind,” and Mr. Chamberlain
retains his seat on the ground that he
has only invited the country to dis
cuss the question, such a patching up
cannot possibly last long, and that a
cabinet break up and a dissolution ol
parliament is not far distant.
The latest gossip in best informed
quarters is to the effect that Mr.
Chamberlain will not speak today and
that he will not resign, while the gov
ernment will endeavor to dispose of
the Irish land bill and stave off a cri
sis until October. Nobody, however,
likes to predict what will happen. It
appears that the colonial secretary
had a long conference with Mr. Bal-
fc.ur in the latter’s private room in
the house of commons last night,
which explain# their non-appearance
in the house.
It is generally agreed that Sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach’s onset was a sur
prise to Mr. Chamberlain, who had not
expected such wholesale protects
against his proposals. Viscount Cos-
chen, chancellor of the excheqer un
der Lord Salisbury’s administration,
had a long talk with Sir Michael
Hicks-Reach in the course of the even
ing, and will raise a debate in the
house of lords on the question of the
country’s financial ipolicy early next
week, with the idea of getting some
definite pronouncement from the gov
ernment.

Twelve Hundred Employes of CheS’
apeake and Ohio Walk Out.
Huntington, June 10.—Twelve hun
dred employes at the Chesapeake
& Ohio realroad shops in this city,
which includes even the office force,
struck today, the cause being perhaps
the oddest ever known.
William Davies, a carpenter, em
ployed by the Chesapeake and O'hiio,
and who is a member of the city coun
cil, recently voted along with a ma
jority of the council to take from
Mayor C. M. Buck his authority to
name the standing committees ior the
ensuing year, this being the termina-
tkm of a fight between the mayor and
chief of police. Policemen appointed
by the mayor were discharged, and
others named contrary to his wishes.
Mayor Buck, being a member of the
Blacksmiths’ Labor union, his fellow
laborers demand that Davies be dis
charged. The Chesapeake and Ohio
railway company refused, hence the
strike.
Jackson, June 10.—Jhe sensation oi
the morning in the trial of Jett and
White on the charge of murdering At
torney Marcum, was the attempt oi J
the defense to have James Hargis, a
leading spirit in the Hargis feud, wulcfc
has caused all the trouble here, admit
ted to the courtroom. Judge Red-wint
ruled against it. When the court con j
vened the defense made a motion tc
set aside the empanel of jurors com
pleted last night on the ground of ir
regularities in the selection of the
nam®s. The motion was overrulen
and the jury was sworn in. The wit
nesses for each side were ordered sep
arately and Attorney Neal for the de-;
fense, requested that Judge James
Hargis, a witness, be allowed in the
courtroom to assist tne defense in ad
dueing evidence. Mr. Hargis is not
an attorney, being merely a countj
judge. The state objected, but Mr
Neal contended that Hargis, being
an uncle of Jett, at present on trial
should be admitted. Judge Redwine
ruled that Hargis should be excluded.
Attorney Byrd then began his opening
statement for the commonwealth.
B. J. Ewen was the first witness
Ewen said he saw Marcum in the
courthouse door and stepped to talk
with him. Tom White passed by, then
looked at Marcum, passed just outside
of the outer door and looked back,
then passed on. Marcum said:
“I am afraid of that fellow; he
means to do me harm.”
