HISSISSIPPIJLOOD GRAVE
Memphis Loses Gas Supply Serlout
Situation Many Places.
Memphis , Tenn. , April 3. With water
tor pouring over the lowlands througl ;
half a dozen gaps in private levees
south of Cairo and washing the main
embankments at several points , the
flood situation along the Mississippi
river this morning was grave.
Officially it is predicted that the
stage at Memphis will reach 45 feet
Yesterday 44 feet was forecasted at
the probable maximum , but today the
prediction was revised. At 7 o'clock
this morning the gauge showed 42. (
feet , a rise of .3 since 7 o'clock lasl
night.
Government officials are still optim
istlc that they will hold the rlvei
within bounds. So far all the mall
levees are intact , although sevora
points are regarded as dangerous
The government embankment Inline
diately west of Hickman , Ky. , which
protects the Reel Foot lake base In
several west Kentucky counties , the
White river front at Moder , Ark. , and
the levees near Linda , Mo. , are giving
the greatest concern. Breaks iu pri
vate levees at Blrspoint and near
Commerce , Mo. , and at Hickuian , Ky. ,
have relieved the situation at Cairo
and the flooding of that city which
was threatened yesterday afternoon ,
will be averted. At Hickmanf the
factory district where the levee broke
Monday night , is inundated to a depth
of from fifteen to twenty feet this
morning and the business district is
almost covered with water. New Ma
drid , Mo. , and Columbus , Ky. , are also
flooded.
The gas plant and the sewerage
pumping station In North Memphis
went out of commission last night.
Early today the supply of gas was cut
off.
Until the .watesr recedes , Memphis
will be without that commodity. The
flooded area in the northern section
of the city is rapidly increasing. It ia
estimated that 500 or more families
have been driven from their homes ,
and practically every plant in that
district has suspended operation.
Neligh Dam Still Holds.
Neligh , Neb. , April 3. Special to
The News : During the past twenty-
four hours the Blkhorn river at this
point has risen fourteen inches , and
at midnight last night it was rising
at the rate of ono inch an hour. Clearwater -
water reported during the early ev
ening last night a rise of sixteen in
ches at that place and fears were en
tertained for the safety of the river
bridge north of that point. Supervisor
Reutzel was notified that it was sett
ling during the afternoon. He stated
that there were no piles to be had in
Neligh and to convey a pile driver
through the impassable roads was out
of the question.
Both the dams In this city are with
standing the terrific strain upon them
and no immediate alarm is given out
by any of the mill employes. A con
stant watch is being kept both day
and night for the S. F. Gllman inter
ests.

Ing anthracite coa ! .
The attempt of mine bosses to start
operations at the Kntherine colliery ,
an independent operation in the North
Umberland county district , today
proved a failure. United Mine work
ers and sympathizers canvassed the
homes of the workmen employed at
the colliery and persuaiVd their not
to go to work.
Considerable friction has been
avoided in the Lnckawanna resioir
where officers of district No. 1 g.ivo
permission to members o ! the union
around Scranton to operate washeriea
provided the coal is used for the
boiler rooms of the collieries to keep
tjiem In good condition. The last big
strike there was much rioting over
the operation of washerles.
