Many valuable manufacturing plants were covered with water, hundreds of dwelling houses were swept away and thousands of persons rendered homeless. Yet the catastrophe might have beeli much worse. Had the break occurred a few miles farther north the river would have descended upon the entire city of East St. Louis, and all but the hills would have been submerged.

The force of the collision out a wide rent In the Llban's side, and she was already making water rapidly. Iler captain saw their only chance was to run the steamer aground before she sank In deep water, and the Lilian was headed full speed for the shore, but within seventeen minutes of the collision and while still some distance from shallow water the fore part of the steamer plunged beneath the waves, and a few minutes later she had entirely disappeared. The flood was due to a mighty cloudburst along the head waters of the Pacolet river In Polk county, this state. The crest of the flood when It reached Pacolet was sixty feet high. The mills were located along the banks of the stream In n deep valley, high bills rising on- either side, and caught the full force of the flood. Mill men conversant with the situation say that the destroyed properties will be rebuilt on the former sites and probably will be in partial or complete operation again within twelve months. The Glendolc mill probably will be In shnpe to resume work within sixty days. Plattshurg, N.

The crew of the steamer Balkan, who aided in the rescue of many passengers on the ill fated ship, describe the scene just liefore the Liban disappeared as a terrible one.
