Epplnger & Company, of (this city; onelof the largest grain dealing firms in the United 8tates, went to the wall to day. The crash canto suddenly and for a time threatened completely to upset the local grain market. As It was, the failure caused a big bobbing of prices on 'Change and wrought up such excitement as has not been wit nessed on the floor for many years. It is thought that the losses of the firm will run up into the millions, while the LondoB, Paris and American Bank, the money house with which it deals, will also, it is said, suffer heavily. Henry Acb, attorney for Epplnger & Company, ss'd this aftrr noon: "At a meeting of creditors held in my office it was shown by the books of the firm that the liabilities were in the neighborhood of $1,850,000. The assets, consisting principally of lands. , wheat and general and personal prop erty, are placed at 1700,000. Nearly all of the creditors are partially or wholly secured." . DAMAQED IN COLLISION.

Be fore the waters of a terrible flood, Pa colet, B. O . has been swept from' the map and several of the great cotton mills of Spartanburg and Clifton have been wiped out by a storm which swept this part of the country late last nighL Up to the present hour it has been impossible to ascertain the loss of life. -Twelve bodies have already been seen drifting down the stream. . Fifty peo ple -are reported drowned at Clifton and twenty-five at Pacolet. Pacolet and Clifton are situated in the. defiles of two valleys. Most of the homes of the workmen were loca ted in the ;valley near -the mills in which they are laborers. .. r - y-' The storm settled over-Spartanbnrg last night. It gathered -force until the proportions of a giant cloud-burst were reached when the downpour from the clouds swept away the dams which in turn settled into one vast swirling stream which rushed through ihe valley where the mills were situated This afternoon the waters are roaring above houses and homes, where yes terday thousands of laborers were busy. The property loss, it is believ ed will reach $8,000,000. Damage at Pacolet. At Pacolet the following damage has been reported: Mill No. 1 has been washed com pletely away; mill No. 3 is totally de stroyed; the dams of these mills are swept away and the waters rush un checked through the wide gap thus opened. The warehouse of mill No. 1, with its total stock of goods and cotton, was swept away, while the hotel, the lead ing churches and almost evejry build, ing in the little city has been partially or totally destroyed. Additional Details. AM the bridges and trestles on the main line of the Southern railway were washed away. The greatest dis traction of life and property occurred at the Pacolet and Clifton and Glen dale cotton mills. Wires are down and reports are conflicting, but it seems certain that twenty-five or thirty people were drowned, mostly mill on- eraUves. The ill-fated Pacolet cotton mills were the heaviest nroDertv loiera. President Victor Montgomery estima ting the damage, to the plant at $1, 250,000. About 1,200 operatives in these mills are thrown out of work and within a few days will be in need of daily bread. At 6 o'clock this morning, it was no ticed that the water was rising rapidly in the Pacolet river but no special im portance was attached to it by mill op eratives who began to form in line to enter the mills. At mills Nos. 1 and "3 the pressure soon became dangerous, the boiler rooms were submerged and the workmen were ordered back. A little later the fury of the raging river struck mill No. 1, sweeping the plant entirely away. The strong current then swept against No. 3, demolishing that mill and leaving only the cloth room standing. The big bridge over tne raeoiet river, a steel structure, was then carried away by the furious water which had burst through the dams. The ware room, with nearly 4,000 bales of cotton and 4,000 bales of domestic cloth, followed, all the cotton being carried down stream. At Pacolet mill No.3, one-half of the picker room and five stories on the left side oi a thick brick w si J, are still stand ing but very shaky and may collapse at any time. The boiler room is gone but the smokestack is yet standing. The dam at No. 3 is intact All the machinery in this mill is ruined. At Glendaie, four warehouses filled with cotton and cotton products were swept away, along with the dam across Lawson's fork and the trestle of the city electric railway. The mill at Glendaie waa not materially damaged. At Converse the main building of the Clifton factory collapsed and the water rose till in the second floor of the mill it was four feet-orty or fifty feet above the ordinary water mark. The Converse mill is utterly demol ished, nothing standing except the picker-room building, which is badly wreck ocL The Clifton mill No. 8 also lost its boiler room, machine shop, engine room and smokestack. President Twichell could not esti mate me loss to-night. He has not been able yet to visit the ruins of the plants. The Whitnev mills, on Ltwutn'i Fork, were damaged by (he heavy rise of the water, and some houses and a steel bridge at that point were washed away. At the Tucapan mills, the water rose to the second floor of the build ing and considerably damaged the machinery. Flood at Greenville. Greenville, June 6. Flood condi tions here are assuming serious pro portions. The damage to crops in this section has been very heavy. Two houses were washed away here on the banks of the Beedy river. No lives are reported lost, as yet. Reports from the country are coming in slowly. Telegraph and telephone wires are down. There Is a well defined rumor that Lake Toxaway has broken and that the water is running down Into Seneca river. The railroad people expect the full force of the flood to reach Seneca by midnight It is feared that the trestle of the Southern Rail way will be totally destroyed. A. Startling' Report .

The Latest Snmmary oPARTANBURG, S. 0., June 6. So many wires are down and communi cation of all sorts is so thoroughly de moralized, that it la impossible to form any definite calculation of the I03S of life in to-day's cloud burst and the resultant floods. The mortality list may go to 150, but the more conserva tive estimates place It somewhere around forty or fifty. The total property loss is likely to aggregate $3,000,000 The loss at Pa colet is placed at one million dollars, summarised as follows: Mills No. 1 and No. 3 demolished; 28,000 spindles a wreck; 3,500 bales of cotton, two hundred thousand dollars worth of cloth goods In company's store dam aged; grist mill, cotton gin, poatofflce, shoe shop, blacksmith shop, dental office, livery stable and Presbyterian church all waahed a way. At Clifton, the Convene mill, with 51,000 spindles, is entirely gone. The Clifton mill, with 27,000 spindles, is half washed away. The Dexter mill, with 30,000 -spindles, is probably half ruined. All these mills belong to the Clifton Manufacturing Company. More than 500 people are homeless and 4,000 are out of employment There was no wind and no dsmage by lightning; only by water.- This fell in veritable torrents, converting the surface of the earth into a sheer lake of raging water. Rivers over flowed their banks to heights never before known; creeks became rivers and small rivulets roaring torrents, wiping out everything in their course. Railroad bridges were torn, from stone piers, cotton mills were crushed like straw before the flood, and grist mills and innumerable smaller indus tries and cottages were waahed away by the angry watera. - . At a late hour to-night scores ot people were clinging to the branches of trees at Clifton and could not be reached. ; Unless help comes to them soon it is feared that many will fall Into the water and drown.'

This afternoon, however, the Presi dent and Mr. Payne had a long con' ference, during which they considered the situation in -the department at length. It is understood that the Presi-. dent expressed to Mr. Payne his de, aire that the investigation now -beingi made should be as searching as the ingenuity of the officials could make it, and should be pursued until the department has been purged of even the suspicion of dishonesty. Imme diately after Mr. Payne returned to the department from the White House he sent for Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Brlstow,. whom he acquainted with the President's views on the in vestigation.

Like an inland sea the swollen Mississippi has spread out over the Illinois shore Into the vicinityr of 8f. Louis. The railroad and ahipping district of East St Louis is on a small peninsula on which freight houses stand a little above the flood. North of East St. Louis the tops of freight cara and of houses ap pear above the surface, and grain ele vators are surrounded and flooded.
