New Onteaxs, La., May 16.—A break oc- curred in the levee at Renetearre, on the east bank of the Mississippi river, eighteen miles above this city, this morning. The break is 100 feet wide and five fect deep. The water is pour- ing through the crevasse at a tremendous rate. Sr. Lovts, Mo., May 16.—The Madison levee gave way yesterday afternoon and thousands of Tae Loss Or Fissa Is A Tarte. acres of farm land are now flooded. : Fourteen men, women and children, all D THIN NEED NOT MIND IT. si ee residents of Mallanphy Taland, located in the Missouri river, sixteen miles north of the mouth and thirty-six miles from St. Louis, were saved from a watery grave by a volunteer corps of just twenty prominent citizens of St. Louis, under the command of Mayor Noonan and Absistant Chief of Police Reedy, who im- periled their own lives in doing so. Late Saturday night « telephone message was received at the Four Courts from Florissant that forty people were on Mnilanphy Island in the Missouri river surrounded by a raging. tor- rent. A tug was manned here and sent to their reseue. ‘The upward run was a perilous one. At the west end of Mullanphy Island were found clustered fourteen men, women and children, standing ulmost knee ‘deep in water awaiting death. As ng yaw! had been brought along the res- cuers were compelled to wade throngh the water. About that time the ferryboat Fawn of St. Charles, Mo., under the command of Capt. John Able, put in appearance with a rescuing party. With their assistance the people were soon out of danger. DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI. A trip down the river for about forty miles shows the situation to be most serious.

Hundreds i pibeaberar iment of homes have been shantioned and the number of cattle destroyed is expected to reach into the thousands. At Monte Sano and Rockbridge. number of rafts are transporting households from those places to the bluffs. Bend’s Island, on the Illinois side, is three feet under water. Near there, on the Missouri side, in the vieinity of the White House, is the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern rail- way track. ‘he embankment has in many cea been undermined, and no trains have gen run for thirty-six hours. Up the Merrimac river the back water has undermined the foundations of over a hundred houses, At Foster's island 4,000 acres of fine farming land are covered with water and all hope of raising a crop this year has been given up. DEAD BODIES FLOATING DOWN. Reporters stationed on the Merchants’ bridge in north St. Louis have seen several dead bodies floating in the “water. Most of them have evidently come a long distance. It is now a common sight to see small houses and various articles of furniture traveling past. All rail- y trafic over the Eads bridge has been abandoned owing to the flooded tracks in Illi- nois. The Burlington, Alton and other roads run passenger.traims in over thé Merchants’ bridge. LITTLE ROCK ISOLATED. A Little Rock dispatch says: The Arkansas river took a fresh start today and is rising rap- idly. Trains on the northern branch of the Iron Mountain road have been abandoned for the present. -No passenger or mail trains from St. and the north have arrived in Little Rock sincerFriday. ‘Thousands of acres of land in the bottoms between the Arkansas and Potean rivera are now under water and people are rapidly moving out of the bottoms. All communication between Fort Smith and the Choctaw nation is cut off. ‘The river during the twenty-four hours end- ing at 6 p. m. yesterday fell one-tenth at Greenville, rose half an inch at Lake Provi- dence, Vicksburg and St. Joseph, remained stationary at Natchez and Bayou Sara, rose one- tenth at Baton Rouge, one and a half tenths at Donaldsonville and one-tenth at New Orleans. THE ILLINOIS STILL RISING. A Whitehall, Ill., dispatch says: Commencing at Happyville, eight miles west of this place, the Ilinois river extends from bluff to bluff « distance of four and one-half miles. The area of overflowed land in this county alone is fully 75,000 acres, half of which has been in cultiva- tion for years. No crops of auy kind will be produced there this season. ‘The water is still rising. The waters of the Hinois and Sangamon riv- ers are still causing great alarm on what is known as Sangamon bottom. Several thousand acres of wheat and corn are entirely submerged. Beardstown is entirely surrounded by water, something unknown since 1858. ‘The river at Alton, UD, is «till rising. Gen- eral Agent Fisher of the Bluff line reports that his road has suffered a loss of $25,000 already by the flood. IN INDIAN TERRITORY. ‘The heaviest rain in Indian territory for years fell last night and all streams are out of their | banks. n| Fight days’ continuous rain and cloud bursts =| in Iowa caused four bridges to go out and flooded the lowlands. A Danish family crossing a bridge which was going out was drowned. ‘The damage to seed in the ground is enormous. Pine creek rose seven fect in one hour. FEARING ANOTHER JOHNSTOWN HORROR. ‘The fall of rain has continued for six days almost uninterruptedly in Indiana. It is re- ported that the Celina reservoir, covering 17,000 acres, is full, and should the levees give way it would carry destruction to the upper Wabash valley, and perhaps cause a heavy lows of life. ‘The conditions are for another Johnstown hor- ror, but the water would scatter over more country and be less destructive to life. pains ines ARMY CHAPLAINS.

New Yorx, May 16.—The field that will struggle for supremacy in the great Brooklyn handicap, valued at $25,000, at Gravevond today at the opening of the Brooklyn Jockey Club's spring meeting will be one of the best that ever went to the post for the event. All are in prime condition. They have been the recipients of the most carcfnl attention of the greatest trainers on the turf and are today in condition to make one of the greatest races of the de- cade. Saturday they were asked the last mo- mentous question, and when the trials were over all had answered it in such a handsome manner as to Gill the hearts of their respective owners with boy When the saddling bell rings for the handicap this afternoon M. F. Dwyer's grand horse Long- street will go to the post backed to win more money than a handicap candidate ever was before. Wherever a future book was made— at Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Montreal, ‘New Orleans, New York—there money has been pluced on Longstreet. It is no exaggeration to say that Longstreet’'s victory will take more money out of the future books than they ever paid before. Other horses have been nibbled at, but Longstreet has been played persistently, and buoyed bg by the hope that he might not be able to start the bookies kept on taking money on him. ‘The race is likely to be decided on a heavy track. This morning the track was muddy and heavy from continued rains from the inner rail to the center of the course. Toward the onter rail it was better und looked to be drying out, but the rain fell during the night and the track, if not heavy, will be several seconds slow, and the horse that shades 2:10 will have a good look in for the frst money. Thirty thousand people will probably witness the race, and the Brook- lyn handicap of 1892 will be indeed memorable it isos rich in fulfilment as in promise. All the handicap candidates were given exer- cising gallops yesterday. The concensus of opinion at the track was that Longstroct would be the winner if the track was from moderately heavy to good.

AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE. ‘The spectacle was a very striking and im- pressive one. While the fumes of the censer rose in the air Father C. Gillespie, 8. J., of St. Aloysius Church read the prayers for the dead. All present on the floor stood ‘up as the prayers wore recited. Then Bishop Keane, wearing the porple robes of his office, took his stand at the foot of the coffin to deliver the funeral sermon, and as he did so the priests and choristers ar ranged themselves by his side and the specta- tors took their seats. BISHOP REANE'S SERMON. The bishop's sermon opened with a text from First Corinthians, “Judge not before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the middle things of darkness and will | make manifest the counsels of the hoarts, and —— every man have his praise from In the presence of the ju ts of God, he said, how must all human judgment bow in adoring silence. If those white lips could speak now would they not, with the awful eloquence of eternity, re-echo the words of the apostle? They would say, “Judge me, all ye whose interests were, for so many years, intrusted to my keeping. ‘Honestly, I strove to do my full duty to you, but Town’ my responsibility and your ji t,is welcome. Judge me, ob, my country, to whom the best energies of ’ my were consecrated.” The church, he went on to say, offered up prayers for all men without limit or exception, with a charity as catholic asher name, as limitless as the charity of Christ. She prayed this day, not only for Senator Barbour, but in his name, be- cause for years he ’had identified his re- ligious Ife entirely with her. She regarded him as having been a catechuman, a candi- date for baptism and for full’ member- sbip in her communion; for — such his words and acts had plainly declared bim to be. Mr. Barbour had years ago declared his intention of becoming @ member of. the old chureb of Jesus Christ: and, though he had temporarily delayed the final step, he had never retracted his expressed determination to take it. When about six years ago Senator Bar- bour (shortly after the death of is agintly and beloved wife) gave him to under- stend that soon ‘we would be fellow-Catholics,” he (the bishop) had rejoiced that the luster which the Senator's civic virtues reflected on his state was likewise to be shared in by the old church of all the ages, the mother of saints and heroes, and of sturdy upright men and women in every age and clime and condition of human life. ‘& BENEFACTOR TO BIG RACE. In this age of intense activity, when absorp- tion in temporary pursuits #0 often made it fection, ae far as hi eye men unmindfal of their eternal interests, that man was a benefactor to his race who, by the example of his life, gave practical {that it was possible and easy to be, at the same time, an energetic business man, and yet a man of prayer: an active politician and Yet a conscientiously relig- ious man, a clear-sighted American states- man and yet a firm believer in the old Catholic church of Jesus Christ. Soon the Senate chamber would resound with went tributes to the admirable character and the eminent public services of that good and noble man. Would (said the bishop) that the sound of those eulogies might reach so far and sink so deep into the heart of the nation * * that no private considerations should hinder good men from taking their full in safeguarding the public interests wstead of leaving them to the mercy of selfich- ness and greed. * * Would thatat the sight of this'union of American statesmanship Catholic faith the outcry of religious animosity. 80 out of place in this land of civil and religious lberty, might forever be hushed. * * Grant, O! Heavenly Father, that such may be the beneficent fruit of the life and the death of this good man. From his example may there go forth an influence to purify and to ele- vate the life of his people. May his country, which 80 lovingly honors his memory and so sincerely deplores his loss reap profit from the practical lesson from which his death bequeaths to all her citizens. May his testimony fo the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen that f in the souls of us all and make it invulnerable against the attacks of unbelief. And as the holy pontiff, St. Ambrose, prayed for the soul of his beloved catechumen, #o do we implore Thee, Father of Mercies and God of ali consolation, to deal, in steetest mercy and love, with the soul of this, Thy servant. Eter- nal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let per- petual light shine upon’ him. May he rest in peace. EFFECTS OF THE SERMON. The bishop's sermon, delivered ina round, sonorous voice,and with all the graces and emo- tions of a great pulpit orator, was listened to in breathless silence by the immense andience, comprising the most dis- tinguished public men of the land. It was o grand and impressive scene and one which will not soon fade from the memory of any of those who witnessed it.
