St, Louis, Juno 10, A Ireak in the
Illinois Central dyke eanie at thirty min
utes after midnight. In five minutes, a
mighty, maddened torrent was tearing
through the large resilience section of East
St, Louis. One half of Last St. Ixmis is
now buried in the flood and 10.0(h) per
sons are homeless and at the mercy of the
racing waters. Families are penned up
prisoners in the garrets of their homes or
ou roofs. They are without food and are
crying for help. Two thousand people
who sought refuse in the Washington
school, the Franklin school, St. Mary's
church and the plant of the St. IOuis Syr
up Refining company are all prisoners and
are suffering greatly.
The city has appealed to St. Louis for
small boats. People, thousands of whom
were sleeping, felt certain the city was
safe, but were warned by the blowing of
sand train whistles, by the tiring of "riot
puns and by the cries of those who had
been working on the embankment. The
w ater this morning is thirty-three to thirty
feet deep ail over the eastern half of the
city. This morning, the Hood extends
.clear through to the river and the city lies
under an unbroken stretch of rising,
swirling water. At 0 o'clock the timid
was cutting away under East Broadway,
threatening the uorthern half of the city.
The destruction of Broadway would cut off
all means of escape.
Two negroes were killed on the levee
before the break, one for refusing to work
and the other for threatening to cut the
levee unless he was paid his vases at
once. Another colored man was drowned
together with his horse while trying to
rescue some people. It is conservatively
estimated that some thirty persons were
drowned during the night. Other estim
ates are as high as 100. A thousand men
were working on the dyke at the time of
the break and some were lost.

SWIRLING
NOW COVERS
ST. LOUIS.
CATHOLIC CELIBACY.
Rubjeet of Sermon bv Fr. Sutton at St.
Monica's Church,
St. Monica's church was filled to its ut
most capacity last evening, so much so
that people were seated in the sanctuary
and vestry of the church to listen to Fr.
Sutton explain"Vhy l'riestsdo not Wed."
This lecture was the second in the series
for the week, Before the lecture the fol
lowing questions were taken for the ques
tion box and answered by Fr. Sutton:
"Why are nunneries not open to the pub
lic'." "Does the Catholic Church object to
reading Scriptures in the public schools'."'
"Is the Catholic Church the oldest
Church?" "What church did Christ
mean when he said, 'On this Rock 1 will
build my Church'."' These questions
were answered clearly and distinctly by
Fr. Sutton.
Jn his lecture he spoke of the umhamp
ered state of celibate life that priests lead,
not that he assailed the marital state, but
that chastity of the Catholic priesthood
was one of their triumphs of mind over
the natural. Among the statements was
the announcement that chastity is a hiuh
er and a holier state than matrimony, that
their virtues are the glories of the church.
The prime reasons for a priest not mar
rying while doing his work were introduced
and expiated upon, revolving into the
much desired chastity of the priest, who
must daily and hourly assume the bur
dens of sorrows and joys of his parishion
ers. Also the handling of the Holy Sacra
ment, and its administration, lie also
said this came as a blessing upon all
things In nature and not as a command;
that no divine or natural law exists com
manding man to marry.
Subject this evening, "Can Man Forgive

of . embezzlement of government funds.
The amount is estimated at from ft!0,0u0
to 175,000. The warrant makes the spe
cific charge of embezzlement of $8,0u0.

or his relatives, several of whom are said
to be wealthy, fail to make good the al
leged losses, Auditor J. T. 1'etty will be
held responsible for the amount. The
auditors bond is for 20.000.

the office of the auditor by property own
ers who are willing to pay half of all
costs of improvements abutting on their
property, such as paving sidewalks, al
leys and streets.

fitted for his work as a minister to the
people at 50 years of age than at 30 or 40.

the work under his jurisdiction, and an
interesting discussion oil missionary

COMMENCEMENT AT
SPAULDING OPENED
Successful Concert and Ball at Miles'
Hall Last Evening Was Well
Attended.
The commencement festivities of Spauld
ing high school were opened by a concert
and ball at Miles' hall last evening, and if
all the exercises of the week are attended
with as much success as this one the tenth
commencement of the school will be the
most notable ever held.
The concert and ball was an innovation
this year, but it is safe to say that it will
be one of the regular features hereafter.
The affair wa? under the management of
the alumni of the school, and a fair-sized
profit will go into the alumni treasury.
The entertainment was first class iu ev
ery respect and the 150 people who at
tended had a very delightful time. Begin
ning at eight o'clock a fine concert of eight
numbers was given by Wilder's orchestra
of Montpelier, and every number received
the hearty applause which it merited. The
violin solo by Fred Whittier was perhaps
the best received. A large number who
did not dance listened to the concert, and
then remained to watch the dancers for
whom the floor was cleared at half past
nine o'clock. Dancing followed until half
past one, the order consisting of twenty
uumhers.w hile several encores were added
to the regular order. The grand march
was led by George M. Gates of the class of
1SI'4, with Mrs. O. D. Mathewson. i
Fruit punch was served in one corner of
the hail by Esther Mudgett and Nellie
Brown. Arthur Averill and Ellis Wil
liams acted as ushers for the concert. The
affair was under the direction of a com
mittee composed of Earl E. Parker, class
of 1S07, James F. Iliggins of the same
class and Miss Lucy F. Cumings of the
class of lSiio. They were ably assisted by
Miss Belle Whitehead of the class of lsui,
and James A. Howe of the class of 18'.5.

' Montpelier, June 9. The Montpelier
branch of the Barre Granite Manufactur

der consideration the organization of a sep

sist the Montpelier manufacturers in start
ing a separate organization. This propo
sition was accepted aud W. S. Smith, J.S.

Final Gmno Ketween Montpelier and Ood
dard 'exfc Saturday.
The decisive game of baseball between
(ioddard anil Montpelier seminaries will
be played Off on the Montpelier campus
next Saturday afternoon, an agreement
having been reached late yesterday after
noon. Manager Bruce of the Montpelier
team went back to Montpelier yesterday
afternoon with the (ioddard proposition
that the location be decided between
Barre and Montpelier on the flip of a coin,
any neutral ground being eliminated from
the reckoning.
The Montpelier oilicials took the matter
under advisement finally coming to the
decisiou that it was a fair proposition.
Manager Bruce accepted, and the coin
was Hipped, The luck was Montpelier's
and the coin came up for that Bide. Man
ager Bruce of the Montpelier team lost no
tune in choosing his home grounds, and
there the game will be played.
The decision to play the third game in
either one or the other of the two cities
was a wise move as it would have been
Impossible to make both ends meet if the
game were played In some other place.
Although the luck was not with God-
dard there is no kick omSng from that
school as the proposition was hers to Hip
for the choice of grounds, the team will
play all the harder to win the game, as
the winner will undoubtedly be the cham
pion preparatory school team of the state.
RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY.
Drawn t'p On the Deuth ol liev. F. O. Mac-
Cartoey.
The following resolutions were adopted
as a result of the Y. O. MacCartney mem
orial meeting held in Toolstuvpeners' hall
June 7:
We the trades unionists and Socialists
of Barre, deeply deplore the death of
Frederick O. MacCartney, arid wish to
tender to his relatives, friends and asso
ciates our heartfelt sympathy.
We, iu common with ail who knew of
the noble work which he was doing, feel
that the world Is better because he lived :
that the wage workers have lost a friend
whose life had been consecrated to the
work of uplifting humanity: a friend who
was faithful until the end: that the work
ing class has not only lost a friend aud
brother but society has lost one of its most
useful members, and a line minded, honor
able and noble man.
We instruct our eommtttee to have the
foregoing published in our local papers
and a copy of the same sent to the father
of our deceased brother.
