The statement is, however, @ favorable one; Tor, while the deposits have fallen off so largely, there is a gain of reserve of nearly a million and a half of dollars.

The prospective completion of roads now~n progress which will serve as feeders to the main line will, however, prove a very valuable source of revenue to the road hereafter. There are several projected, but only three are in actual progress, One of these new roads is the Lexington and Seda- lia road, which was surveyed before the war, and runs through one of the oldest settled and richeat portions of the State, I's length 1s fifty-five miles, and the work 18 being pushed with all possible vigor, under the direction of D, R.

The third road 18 the Pleasant Hill, Lawrence and Topeka Railroad (sixty ities long), Which runs through the highly cultivated portions of Western Missouri anti Eastern Kansas. Local subscriptions and city and county bonds have been secured to assist in building this road to the amount of $600,000, and the Missouri Pacific, haying leased the road from the date of its completion, have agreed to guarantee the iaterest on $1,000,000 of constraction bonds, Tiis road wall save twenty-seven miles in the line to Denver City, and when the Kansas Pacific Railway is completed to Denver, a8 it will be soon, the Pleasant Hill, Law- rence and Topeka Railroad must be venefited by the through tratiic very lurgely.

Thinecea Lives Lost—Ruilronds, Creps, Farms, Bridges, Houses, &c., Destroyed, * [from the Junction City (Kansas) Union, June 25.) ‘Thursday morning before day the rain came, but no one thought it unusual. At haif-past five o'clock in the evening It came down in torrents, but lasted only fifteen minutes, At niue o'clock it began again and rained steadily until daylight Friday morning, About eight o'clock news came Into town that the Soathern Branch Railroad bridge across Lyon's Creek had been swept away. Still peopie could not believe that anything unusial had happened, At eleven o'clock A. M. Friday, the awtul news came that men, women and ghitdren were cunging to the branches of trees, and’tuat houses, vridges and cat- he were being swepi away by the resistless vorrent. By twelve o'clock every man in town was oui in some direction. Boats were swept away, and ropes were the only means of assistance left. ‘This news startled our citizens, and they spread in every direction to render assistance. Superinteadent Marshail, who had run up the road as far as Chap- man’s creek in the interests of the railroad, brought Uhe sad news of the destruction of lite and property in that locality. On acconnt of the lateness of the hour we can give but partial details. No person can describe the suffering of some of these poor mortals, We could only gather the incidents from a small pertion of the country, and there is no telling what bas happened up the Republican. Smoxy Hill, and Saline. On Chapman’s Creek the following persons are lost, baving been swept away with houses and property:—James Kelly and wife; Katie Quirk and her little brother Willie, and Moile Hartigan, a child tour years old, all from the faumly of Mr, Hartigan, Mr. and Mrs. Harugan were saved. Mrs. Cooke mrpcbiinge “woe a young lady, and R, W, Colwell, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of ius county, Who Was stopping at Mrs. Cooke's, are re. ported as carried away by the flood, At avout five o'clock in the evening the report came that Mrs. Picket, living about twelve miles from Chapman's Creek ‘crossing, with her two children, had been drowned, ‘The most appalling of all was the case of Mra. Brinbaugh and faunly, consisting of herself aud four chiidren—a girl of seventeen, two boys of five and eleven respectively, and an m(ant avout six months old, They were carried away, house and ail, and were ali clinging to a portion of the building, ¥ served asaraf. Whea they reacted the ¢ ig the raft parted, one part carrying Mrs. Brimoaugh, infant and eldest daughter; the other carrying the boys. ‘The raft stuck last in some tree tops, within a few feet of tne shore. A raft was then hustily con- structed by the citizens, and Mrs. Brimbaugh aud little son were saved. Mr. Samuel Bostick made a desperate effort to save Misa Jennie Brimbangh, who with the lad and infant had been on the other raft, but in doing so lost the girl and boy, He saved tue wifant by taxing nis shirt and tying it to the limb of a tree, swimming ashore alone, The current was so rapid at this point that 1b was by the most superia- man efforts he succeeded in reaching the snore. ‘Yea to the tree the poor hittie infant remained for five hours, screeming and yelling for dear life, when Mr. Bostwick again determined to rescue if, and, assisted by some citizens on shore, who held a'rope which he carried, plunged in again, He made two ailempts and finally reached the little sufferer. He then tied him to lus back by meaus of a rope and swam ashore. So rapid was the current atthis point that, notwithstanding the aid of those ashore Who held the rope attached to Mr. Bostwick, he was carried down stream @ distance of over one Lundred ieet, nearly to the rapids. Jast above this point was Mr. Eiserman, who, in attempting to save Mrs. Srimbaugh, had a little sku? capsized, and he saved himself oy being carried by the current to @ tree, where he made fast. Near by was Mr. Horner, who was carried from the null, clinging to a (ree. Both these partes remained in this perious situacon—with byt the branch of a tree between them and eternity—from an early hour inthe morniug until five o'clock in the afternoon, when @ numver of citizens from Junction ar- rived with @& boat, and Messrs, 5. Caswell and John Mead made the perilor under, aking and saved both parties, ‘These gen- tiemen also took ther skuT to the house of Mr, Michael Hogan, who, with his family, were inthe garret—the water having reached to within eighteen inches of the roof—and brought them safely to shore. There were many others, from this place and the neighborhood of the scene of the disaster, that for deeds of (we might say) reckless daring de- serve special mention, ut on account of the lateness of the hour wethayve not tune to mention all. {From the Leavenworth Times and Conservative, June 30.) At Chapman Creek the food was first diseovered about six o’clock in the inorning, when tt was little more than over the banks of the stream, At that hour the railroad bridge across Chapman moved olf, At the crossing there cowd not have been less than fifty feet of water, ‘The casualties which we mention cover @ distance of only six miles up the creek, ex- cept in the case of the Cooke family and Mr, Colwell. We have no knowledge of what o¢curred above that poms, nor between Me trey’ Creek and Junction City, along the Smoky Hitil, which is at present mn some places about four miles wide, Thursday night, at Chapman Creck, quite a subilee was had by @ number of neighbors, who happened together, over the tremendous crop of wheat ready to harvest, The farms in that neighborhood were in the hignest state of cultivation and improvement. Friday morning total ruiu stared the peoole m the face. JE Was the most ferribie and swiftest transfer from comiort and prosperity to horror and rain on record, Not a farm to be seen, luprovements swept away and crops submerged.

From that tune oulil six P.M. the water raised at the rato of from eight to twelve Inches an hour. All of Streeter & Strickier’s ropes, all the ratiroad conid command, and all the qnarter- master at Fort Riley could furnish, were fastened to the two bridges, Six carloads of stone were placed upon the railroad bridge, At six o'clock, When the parties left, the lower cords of the railroud bridge were two feet under water, and the water was within two inches of the Republican bridge, and a sheet of water for @ quarter Ol a mile exisied this aide of the bridges, where turee hours before al! was ry. At two o'clock the bottom between Riley and town was one sheet of water, which could nol have hoen less than ten feet deep. ‘The railroad track was the only means of communication, At vall-past two o'clock & locomotive started down with an addt- tonal carloadt of stone. At the slough the track gave way from under and the iocomotive and car siuck in the mud. The water had undermined the twack, and at dark half a mile of it wee gone.
