WASHINGTON, D. ©. FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1897-SIXTEEN PAGES. TWO CENTS. WATER TO BE HIGHER Preparations Being Made for It at New Orleans. LOSS OF LIFE ON DAVIS ISLAND Fifteen Bodies Said to Have Been Found. re RIVER LOWER AT ST. LOUIS NEW ORLEA La., April 16.—"Nine- teen feet by April 20," says the weather bureau, as far as New Orleans is concern- ed. It will pfobably come sooner. It will not mean any danger to the city, but water will cover the wharves and wet adjacent streets. The railroads are already elevat- ing their tracks, and platforms have been built at depots, but the steamboats com- plain that no provisions have been made for them. The entire wharf front will probably have to be rebuilt and raised. The Louisiana line is still holding,strange to say, though rises of three inches and more a day are quite common. It looks as if the limit of endurance or height must come sapn. A much higher river will wash over many of the banks, and in their pres- ent softened condition they will be so bad- ly soaked that it 1s a question of their abil- ity to bear the weight against them: still perfection of drainage going on all along the Hine will help out in the crisis. The flood wave has about reached ihe fifth dis- trict, and if that and the Tensas district pass muster, there is no reason why the levees between Baton Rouge and New Orleans should not escape. The second break on Bayou La Fourc’ is not creating much alarm. There is now a cre! on each side of the bayou, but the water could not have picked out better spots, running off into large areas of swamp lands. It has reduced the height of the bayou, and if the planters can hold the rest of the line many valuable planta- tions will be saved. Loss of Life on Da A special to the Times-Democrat from Vicksburg says: All sorts of stories con- cerning the loss of life on Davis Island were currert here, but Mr. George Flan- nigan, one of the rescued party, reduced is Island. the death list to one man certain, and two others missing and supposed to have been drowned. River Falling at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 16.—The Mississip- pi river Is still falling here, a drop of almo: a foot being recorded for the past twenty fcur hours. ‘This makes the gauge read 26.6 feet, al- most four feet below the danger line. Both the Missouri and Mississippi rivers above here show a rise, but Dr. Frankenfield, the lecal weather observer, says today that the river at St Louis will change but little during the next two da, The Missouri and upper Mississippi rivers will rise slow- A special from Vicksburg, Miss., says: The refugees who came from Davis Island cau the government steamer John R. Melj and the steamer Atlanta report the drown- ing of eleven persons, all colored, on Davis Island, Wednesday evening. Homer Moore, Pete Clements and wife and Henry Gar- land were drowned on the Hurricane plan- tation. The other seven are reported drowned on other parts of the island, all women and children, from the Palmyra place. The loss of stock on the island has been very great. The steamer Florence re- mains at the island to rescue people and ferry stock over to the Louisiana main- land. A special from Natchez, Miss., says: It thought that all on Davis Island had aped after the crevasse, but fiftee bedies have been found floating around t cld Brierfield plantation, which was the homestead of Jefferson Davis. The sur- viviug inhabitants are huddled in tents on top of the levee. From appearances this cveriiow will be worse than ever known before w couraging at Omaha. OMAHA, Neb., April 16.—During the night the river raised 2 inches, but is sta- tionary now at Omaha and falling above. ‘The work done on the threatened dykes during the night held back the flood, and this morning it seems that the gravest danger has passed. The wind is from the south, and the waves are driven away from the dykes. The water has spread a little more over the bottoms, but the ad- ditional damage is insignificant. Large gangs of men are still busy strengthening the weak spots, with fair prospects of pre- venting the cut off. The river here Js now falling. At noon the government gauge showed 17.1 feet above mean low water, a fall of .2, and was still going down. Forecaster Welsh says the river will continue to fall here, remain- ing stationary from Plattsmouth to St. Jose Higher Water Expected. PITTSBURG, Pa, April ’6—The con- tinued rains caused a rise in the rivers to t 6 inches, but the water is now fall- ing, with feet 3 inches on the marks. A high stage of water is expected for sev- eral days, as the indications are favorable for more rain here and at the headwaters. Many Cellars Inv DAVENPORT. Iowa, April 16—A 7-inch rise has brought the waters of the Mis- sissippi within six inches of the danger lin The rising tlood has invaded the cel- lars of many jobbing houses, and the levee is almost entirely under water. Muscatine island, the great melon raising ground, is reported to be largely under water. Rains continue and the situation daily becomes more serious. In the neighborhood of Burlington, Iowa, the river is six miles wide, and covers a wide area of valuable bottom farm land in Illinois. The farmers there have given up hope of getting in their crops, and much joss will resuit. The river is still rising. ON THE MISSOURI. Sabmerged Railway Tracks Aloug the River. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 16. —Submerg- ed railway tracks between here and St. Joseph are the principal items of damage caused by the rise in the Missouri in this section. The Burlington tracks at East Leavenworth, Kan., and Hamburg, Mo., are partly under water. The railway people have gangs of men workirg to prevent a washout, and while trains have been slightly delayed, there has been no serious damage as yet. West of Kansas City, Kan., the water has en- croached still further on the Missouri Pa- clic tracks, and may cause a jelay in traffic on that road before tomorrow. The river here shows a three-inch rise since yes- terday, and is still rising slowly. © gauge reads 21.5. Weather Observer or expects a further slight rise, but states the river will probably become sta- - onary about Sunday morning. remain so for a ‘ew days and then gradually begin to fall. The water has not yet reached high enough yok overflow Harlem or ‘Ar- moardale, but both places are on the verge of being inundated. The packing houses have gangs of men constantly at work pumping out water that has seeped in through che sewers.
