Passengers Caught Between
Washouts Near Memphis.
TOWN OF MARION 18 CUT OFF.
Eight White Famlllen and Two Hun
dred Negroes Remain In Second
Stories of Buildings River Situa
tion Is Somewhat Relieved.
Memphis , Tcnn , , Mnrch 19. The
flood sltuutlon shows n number of now
and scrlouB development nud there
IB scarcely a rny of hope for Improved
conditions except In the fact that
tributaries of the Mississippi to the
north of Mcmphlfl nro reported to bo
falling. Ono of the most serious developments -
volopmonts of the last twenty-four
hours Is the washing out of all lines
of railroad entering the city from
the west nnd the complete tying up ot
rnllroad tranic through the Memphis
gateway to that section. There hnvo
boon no trnins cither Into or out of
this city over the Memphis brldgo
nnd there Is every Indication that
traffic cannot bo resumed until the
flood has subsided to a considerable
degree.
So suddenly did the rise come In
the section of Arkansas across the
river from Memphis after the St. Fran
cis levee broke at Trico'B Landing
that two passenger trains were caught
between washed out points , and nro
now surrounded by water on blind
trncks In the overflow territory about
three miles west of Bridge Junction ,
Ark. Aboard each of the trains were
about seventy-five passengers nnd the
crew nnd over 100 of these persona
rcmnln on the trnlns. However , they
are not considered to bo In any danger
nnd these who hnvo returned from
the surrounded trnlns report thnt the
other pnssongors nro being well cnred
for by the company. The Cotton Belt
train had proceeded but n few miles
when It encountered n section of flood
ed trnck. In attempting to cross the
rails sprend nnd the engine was par
tially derailed , preventing the train
moving In either direction. While In
this condition the 'Frisco's fast Kan
sas City train approached from Mem
phis nnd with Its assistance the Cot
ton Belt engine wns pulled back on the
track. In the meantime n serious
washout had occurred between the
trains and Memphis and retreat to this
city was completely cut off. All
night the passengers were compelled
to romnln In the coaches , while the
water rose on every side , and In the
morning there was not a particle of
land In sight within a mile of their
ppsitlon.
The trains nro on the track of the
Iron Mountain , near Altmar , Ark. By
tnklng risks several handcars suc
ceeded In reaching the water-bound
trains and about fifty passengers were
brought to this city over submerged
and shaky tracks. The remainder re
fused to attempt the return and are
housed In the coaches , being fed by
the railroad companies. Attached to
the 'Frisco train Is n dining car nnd
adequate supplies were sent to them
on the handcars.
Some persons were rescued from
Marlon , Ark. , by means of skiffs nnd
the situation there Is somewhat re
lieved. Eight white families nnd fully
200 negroes remain thcro In the second
end stories of buildings.
