An effort to obtain an interview with Brig- ham Young this afternoon, in obedience to orders from the Henazp, was ineffectual. Your correspondent called at four o’clock at ‘the Lion House and sent in his credentials. Brigham's private secretary, McKenzie, re- ‘ceived the request and card with the air of THE GRAND CHAMBERLAIN OF AN EMPEROR, and neglected to show the most ordinary courtesy. On calling at five, by request, your orrespondent was informed that President Young had no further information to give the public. All that was to be done had been done and was published. Young had Tesigned the presidencies of Deseret Bank and Zion's Co-operative Institution; but he had no intention of resigning as President of the Church, to which he had been re-elected yesterday. LIKE THE VEILED PROPHET, he could not be scen, and after another effort to get a hearing your correspondent left the awful shades of the Lion Honse without seeing the lion. From other sources, probably as re- liable, he ascertains that Brigham has retired from the bank, Zion’s Co-operative Mercan- tile Institution, and trustee in trustship, to AVERT THE COMING STORM ‘which he foresees. The appointment of a lot of figureheads, mere creatures of Young, to his place, relieves him of all responsibility, but does ‘not affect his income. He will continue to reap the harvest while others, labor and as- sume the responsibility. The late conference exhibited THE WANING STRENGTH OF PRESIDENT YOUNG. The change of base is shadowed forth by the anxiety to perfect the Arizona mission, which offers a new asylum for the leaders. Brigham's health is tolerably good, but he is preparing to turn over authority to his sons. THE SPRING CONFERENCE OF THE MORMONS, at which these changes were made, met on Sunday and closed last night. On Sunday afternoon there were over fifteen thousand Saints in the Tabernacle—a large attend- ance. Brigham Young discourses twice daily. Business is lively. There are 20,000 visitors in the city. Brigham Young resigns all po- sitions—even Trustee in Trust for Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Young lately returned exploring south. He says he FOUND THE LAND OF ENOCH. The truth is, preparations have been made fora Mormon exodus. A large number will leave in a few days, with Brigham Young at their head, for the San Fran mountain coun- try, Arizona, The old man has lost his grip and SEEKS A NEW FIELD. with greater power and new property. This will advance the Mormon problem towards Deing solved. Some Mormons will remain to close out business. Then all will go to the Arizona deserts. Brigham Young in the Tab- ernacle yesterday, before 14,000 people, for- mally RESIGNED EVERYTHING, EXCEPT LEADER OF THE MORMON CHURCH, -or Lion of the Lord. He said he was going so far south that the telegraph would not teach him. THE MISSIONS. A number of prominent Churchmen were -sent on missions to Europe and the islands in the Pacific. New offices were created and filled. THE VACANCIES FILLED, The vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Brigham Young as Trustee in Trust of the Church was also filled. Twenty-five thousand dollars bonds are required of the Trustee in Trust of the Church and $10,000 bonds of the assistants, who handle $500,000 and more yearly. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. VIEWS OF THE ADMINISTRATION. The Government and the Citizens of Utah in Peaceful Relations—No Inter= ference in Mormon Affairs if the Laws United States Court Wasuinoron, April 9, 1873. The resignation of Brigham as trustee of the Mormon Church has attracted, as it would naturally be expected, the attention of the promi- nent officials in Washington, for there is nota question to-day before the government superior to the Mormon question. Brigham has been regarded by those in authority here as the spinal column of the Mormon Church, and, if he has abdicated in earnest, the mainstay of the polygamous insti- tutions, it is believed, has been broken. The President has never disguised his true sentiment toward the Mormon doc- trine of polygamy, and, since his election to the office of Chief Magistrate, has several times tlluded to the blight on Western civilization in al- lowing the institution to be perpetuated. With the conviction that Brigham’s exodus from Utah would weaken the Church and its orthodox followers, your correspondent called on the President to-day to ascertain from him what he thought of the Mor- mon question now and the probable resignation of Brigham Young, and what eifect would this course have on the policy of the government in its treat- ment of the Utah question. The following was given as the views of the administration, with no reservation as te their publication :— So long as the people of Utah are quiet and law- abiding they will not be disturbed, but that the administration will feel bound to uphold the au- therity of the Governmeut and its Court in that Territory. If any conflict should occur between the territorial and the United States Courts—what cenfict might arise need not be anticipated at this time—it is enough to know that the slightest inter- ference will be promptly checked, THE PEACEFUE RELATIONS existing between the government and people of Utah can only be affected by their own acts. If they obey the laws there is nothing for the govern- ment to do, or that the government proposes to do, in respect to them, The only thing the govern- maent has desired Congress to do was to take away the authority given by their Territerial law to interfere with the selection of jurors, and make provision for their selection 80 as not to leave that power in the hands of the Mormons for jurors. Tne decision of the Supreme Court sustains their claim, and of course it must be respected. At present the United States Courts are_ comparatively powerless; they are doing iittle or nothing in cases of a criminal hature, and not near 80 much in civil cases as if the jurors could be satisfactorily selected. No serious question other than this exists, and unless a conflict occurs between the Courts there is noth- ing changed in the attitude of the government toward Utah. As before stated, if ft becomes neces- sary to employ military force to uphold the Courts, or enforce the laws, it will be done. Respecting the resignation of Brigham Young there has been nothing oMcially received from the federal eficers at Salt Lake City. That he will leave the Territery there is reasonable ground for doubt; but whether he goes or remains it would appear that that CHANGE IN MORMON INSTITUTIONS will be made which has so frequently been urged should be made to make the Mormons a part of the American body politic. If Brigham Young has absolutely resigned his authority and control of the Church it would be reasonable to presame that there will be a more liberal spirit diffused among the Mormons. THE LAST MOVE OF THE PROPHET. Brigham Afraid of Grant—The Dictator of the Saints Retires from Commercial Speculation—Will Not Abandon Poly- gemy, But Will Go to Mexico—His Politieal Moves Exposed. Brigham Young has ever been an enigma to the “Gentile” world, and his voluntary abdication on Tuesday of the highest positions of financial trust among his people will bewilder outside unbe- lievers more than ever; but to the student there is io Brigham’s present movement a pur- pose perfectly consistent with the character and antecedents of the man. BRIGHAM PHOTOGRAPHED. There is no one man in history that can be named to whom Brigham may be compared by way of illustration, and no man ever was less understood outside of the small circle of his daily associ- ates than is Brigham Young to-day im Utah. Without any disrespect to either the living or the dead, the Prophet of the Rocky Mountains may be said to combine pre-emi- nently in his person the distinguishing traits of three representative men—Mohammed, Richelieu and Grant. He has all the visionary fanaticism, the “Koran or the sword” enthusiasm of the Arabian prophet; the subtle, diplomatic, foxy dis- position of the French Cardinal-Premier, and the self-will and unyielding character of the present occupant of the chair of Washington. Add to these the comic peculiarities of Tabernacle Tal- mage and the brow-beating eloquence of George Francis Train, and the “make up” of Brigham Young, the Mermon prophet, is complete. SEEKING TO SAVE HIMSELF, The announcement of his retiring from the chief direction of the Bank of Deseret, from the Presi- dency of Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institu- tion and from the office of ‘‘Trustee-in-Trust” of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints may shake the credit of the two named financial insti- tutions threughout the Union, for Brigham’s iron will created both of them, and it was his influence and word only which commanded the business asso- ciated with their names, Now that he relaxes his grasp and the people follow their own inclinations without the fear of his anathemas, the reaction will bring about a perfect revolution in commerce among the Saints, and ‘Gentiles’ and apostates iu Utah are certain to gain the ascendency. LEGISLATIVE MANIPULATION. At the last session of the Utah Legislature a statute was carefully framed changing “Zion's Co- operative Mercantile Imstitution” into a company of “limited lability,” and by that measure the moneyed men who had been forced into association with the Prophet were held responsible enly for the amount of their own subscribed stock. The dissenting Mormons had for the last three years threatened to make Brigham account for the millions he has controlled as ‘Trustee-in-Trust,” and they only awaited the settlement of the jury question that was before the Supreme Court of the United States, in order to take measures to reach that end. To forestall this that same Legislature passed a bill annulling, after one yearfrom the date of their action, all indebtedness in Utah which had not either been settled by note or was in adju- dication before the Courts, On the 16th of last February this bill came into effect, and Brigham Young was then no longer accountable for the twenty or thirty millions which he has lavished upon his family and his personal estate during that same namber of years past. HIS CREDIT MOBILIER OPERATIONS. Brigham has been preparing for this coup d'état during the last three years, and to that end his Tepresentatives in Congress were ever ready to “oan” to a needy ofMcial in the departments or to “tide over” an M,C. with a “retainer” for legal service, in order to keep back Congressional action. But the culminating shrewdness of the Prophet's manipulation was exhibited in the ready endorse- ment which he obtained from the present “Gentile” Governor of the Territory, who, on the last day of the Utah Legislature, signed hastily all Brigham’s bills, on the next day wrote to President Grant im- ploring his influence with Congress to veto the bills that he, as Governor, had just signed, THR SAINTS REJOICE, With the decision of the Supreme Court in favor of bis Jury bill, and the neglect of Congress to afford relief to the federal Courts, Brigham on the 4th of March felt relieved, and rejoiced at the tri- umph of his diplomacy. But underncath all this parade of peace there was still a fear that Presi- dent Grant had ‘put nis foot down” when he an- nounced his determination to “execute the laws in Utab.” Brigham, notwithstanding this inditerence |, Soon subside into peaceful citizenship or retire to of Congress, has judged it best to be safe, and nas therefore resolved to await events in Southern Utah, so contiguous to Mexico that he can at any time pass into that country and be beyond the reach of the United States government, No man in the Tombs to-day realizes the death Sentence of the law more than Brigham Young feels the condemnation of the world for the mur- ders that have been perpetrated in Utah. The spectres of the dead haunt him, and when the fed- eral Courts are in session his physical weakness and consequences are distressing to his family. PLAYING THE FOX. The announcement of his declining strength and advancing age yesterday is contradicted by the® telegrams of the preceding day, which report his appearance in the Conference and at the Taber- nacle. He was on Sunday “buoyant and brisk as a youth.” On Tuesday he was rapidly ageing. Brig- ham is but playing bis old game of hoodwinking the nation. AFRAID OF PRESIDENT GRANT, Before his representative (Cannon) and his dele- gate (Hoeper) left Washington, at tne close of the session, they expressed themselves strongly sus- pictous of the purposes of President Grant. They believed that he intended to use all the power of the government to suppress polygamy, and they knew that to this Brigham would never consent. Cannon is an enthusiast, and expressed his con- viction that the Mormon deity would help the Prophet through all his trouvles with the “modern Pharoah.” Hooper, a manof more mature years and more experienced in Congressional business, thought that “Brother Young had better get out of the way.” THE PROPHETS POLITICAL COUNSELLOR, General Thos. L. Kane, of Pennsylvania, who has beer Brigham’s political counsellor fer many years, passed the last winter wiih the prophet in southern Utah, and advised him to concede to the demands of the age and abandon polygamy, but he would only consent to “get out of the way,’ and if pursued by the government would cross the borders {nto Mexico, This is the whole matter ina nut- shell, Brigham is an arrant coward when laced by a resolute foe, and in this his latest move he 1s only preparing the way for his own safety, regard- less of the loss ef commercial credit whict his fiman- Clal followers must sustain. AVOIDING THE LAW. At first reading, the telegrams would seem to announce that Brigham had surrendered all pre- siding authority in the church, but this he has not done, nor anything like it. He has only shuffled out of hisown personal and legal responsibilities in Matters ef business, He is desirous that such men as Hooper, Eldredge and Jennings should stand before the public as the chief of the Mormon busi- ness men, upor whom all the financial responsibil- ity of the schemes which Brigham has inaugurated would rest, while he himself escapes. He places the Apostle George A. Smith as ‘Trustee-in-Trust,’’ but associates with him seven others to share the responsibilities of the position and quietly to supervise his actions, But Brigham still retains for himself the tmperial sway—the Presidency of the Church, which he will never relinguish until his dying day, and then it will pass into the hands of Brigham Young, Jr. THE END APPROACHING. Viewing the present actions of this wily auto- crat of the Rocky Mountains tn the light of his past lifethere is reason tor congratulation that some one has brenght him to realize that his reign of terrer is drawing to a close, and that the proba- bilities are that he will live long enough, even in a few short months, to see that his foolish scheme for founding a “kingdom” is but another ef the visionary phantoms that have so frequently dis- turbed the "peace of society, in other ages as well as the present, and which must of necessity pass away before the inevitable march of civilization. The poor, believing, toiling peopie of Utah should new begin to realize how much they have been duped in the name of religion, and how they have veen used to build up a “codfish aristocracy” under the shadow of Brighain’s wing. The very men Who have been called to the respon- sible positions named in the telegrams are for the most part utterly devoid of faith in Brigham, and are associated with him only on account of their wealth and social position. The Chief Executive of the nation has only to hold a steady hand over Utah, and to make Brig- ham fell that murders in “the name of the Lord” will no longer go unpunished, end the Prophet will Arizona or to Mexico. The back-bone of Mormon- ism is broken when the people rejuse to pay their tithing. ANOTHER PRACTICAL JOKE. cpio tan Crowds Gather on Broadway to See Professor Cantell A. Biglie Bound Into Space are Disappointed— Incidenta and Scenes Among the Sightseers. At about three o’clock yesterday afternoon, as the brokers were coming up irom Wall street, Broadway presented a lively scene, On the cor- ners of Wall street, Pine street and as far down a8 Exchange place, on Broadway, crewds of people had assembled to witness the flight of Professor Cantell A Biglie, of Wisconsin, who was announced to fly about and around the pimnacle of Trinity yo @ place not specified. Some of the dupes were loud in their protesta- tions that the Prefessor would fly to New Jersey, where a lunch had been prepared for him, while others maintained that he would light on one of the tombstones in Trinity graveyard. At about half-past three the crowd became so large that the policemen had to clear the sidewalk. But the crowd went to see the bird and they only moved off to move on again. It is needless to say that the whold thing was @ grand hoax and the would-be spectators were disappointed. About this time the young bloods whe were “steering the job’ came out ‘on the street and the sport began. Every one was inquiring where the man was to fly from—on the north, south, east or west side? A young broker, witha bigh plug hat and a diamond pin, now came on the scene, at the corner of Pine street, and to the question answered that he (the Professor) was now on the southwest window or the steeple. Im- mediately there was a rush down Broadway, in which several hats were lost and trampled upon. | If ‘the left-handed orisens of the in | dividual with dilapidated chapeaus were eficacious | the learned professor and the crowd would have taken @ trip into the bowels of the earth, where the Fahrenheit thermometer indicates an infinite infinity of “nineties,” instead of heaven- ward. When the crowd arrived at Exchange place there was nothing te be seen but the sombre | outside of the steeple, and much dissatisfaction was manifested. In about three minutes three or feur of the practical jokers, who had stationed themselves in Exchange place, started en a run up toward Pine street, aud the crowd followed in hot pursuit, thinking that Mr. Biglie was on the wing. Although again confronted by disappeintment their ‘ardor ‘was not to dampened; the jokers gave them a few more trets, and then the little game busted, the operators retiring well satisfied wits their afternoon’s work; but some of the crowd, still hopetul, lingered until night dimmed their op- tes, ‘The circulars which were distributed in the city were also sent to many of the adjacent towns in New Jersey, Long Isiand and Staten Isiand, with “RS, V. P.” npen them, This little mvitation ‘was answered by many | geile farmers 1p person, who declared, with much chagrin. that New York ‘was the worst lying hole in creation. The Ex-Senator Entertained in Phila- delph: Before Proceeding to Eurepe on Funding Business for the Govern- ment. PHILADELPHIA, April 9, 1873. Ex-Senator Cattell, who is about to depart for Europe to assist in reiunding the government bonds, was entertained this evening at a banquet given by the presidents of the Philadelphia national banks at the Continental Hotel, Thomas Robins, of the Philadelphia National Bank, presided, and introduced Morton McMichael, who eulogized the government for the appointment of Mr. Cattell, and | hae the success of the mission he had under- taken. In response toa toast Mr. Cattell made an elo- quent speech, returning thanks for the compli- ment. Speeches were also made by Mr. Littleton, President of the Select Council, Mr. J. Russell Thayer, Colonel Forney, Mr. D. Noblit, Ex-Gov- ernor Bollock, Judge Thayer and ethers.

The President To Go to Connecticut, and Afterwards to Richmond and Norfolk. The President will, on Monday next, leave for Connecticut, and will be absent several days, Re- turning he will visit St. Louis, and expects to be in Washington early in May. On the 10th he will leave for Richmond and Norfolk. The most exten- sive preparations are being made for his reception in these cities, and he may extend the trip to one or two towns on branch roads between here and Norfolk. Work on the New War Ships Com- menced—Peculiarities of Their Con- struction. Orders have been issued to the Navy Department to lay the keels and begin the work of getting ma- terial ready for the construction of tour of the new naval vessels. Three of the class of the United States steamer Nipsic, of about six nundred and forty tuns, are to be constructed of wood; one at Portsmouth, one at Boston and the third at Noriolk. The plan is to at- tain the greatest speed with the heaviest battery the size will permit. The fourth vessel is to be @ novelty in American naval architecture, and will be constructed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The work of laying the keel having, in fact, already begun, this vessel, also to be constructed of woed, is designed to be the most formidable in the service. She will be to the American Navy what the Raleigh, recently launched from an Eng- lish dockyard, is to the British Navy—an entirely new type of ship, 80 iar as the models heretofore followed. It is not intended she will be so large as the Raleign, but greater strength, dura- bility and fighting capacity will be provided for, The novelty will be the balancing power, by which a .evel gun deck may be had with all the armament on one side, Speed also will be one of the features of this new warcraft. It will probably be two months before tne plans of this vessel are completed. In the meantime work- men will be engaged in getting out the material for construction of the hull. The breaking up of the Philadelphia Navy Yard prevented the building of one of the new vessels at that Place. The Board of Engineers engaged in perfecting the plan of the League Island Navy Yard, to which all the machinery, &c., at the Philadejphia Navy Yard are to be trans- ferred, have nearly completed their labor and will be ready to report in a few days. The new yard, as designed, will not be eompleted for at least fity years, Asmall wooden screw vessel will be con- structed at the Mare Island Navy Yard. The re- mainder of the number—three—will be built of iron, specifications for which are now being pre- pared and will shortly be published, Children of the Syndicate Preparing for Europe and a Market. A few of the Syndicate pilgrims will be ready to leave New York on Saturday. Thereafter the favored employés of the Treasury Department will foliow with strong boxes packed with bonds. The theory is this at the Treasury Department, that no one has any official right to these courtesies; hence no one is invited to go. Those who are singled out for the pilgrimage are the personal ‘riends of the head of the Treasury Department and his confidential advisers, ‘The venerable Second Comptroller, Dr. J. M. Brodhead, will lead the second party of Treasury pilgrims and even a Collector of Internal Revenue will manage to get a free trip to Earope and back. There are other devout Treasury clerks who daily pray that they, too, may be allowed to risk their lives on ocean steamships at the Syndicate’s ex- pense. Treasury Balances. The balances in the Treasury at the close of business to-day were :—Currency, $2,310,580 52; special deposits for the redemption of certificates Of deposit, $25,025,000; coin, $70,657,740 15, includ- ing $23,861,000 in coin certificates; legal tenders outstanding, $358,839,600. Mem. for the White Star Line. The Treasury Department has decided that the carrying, a8 a business, of material taken from wrecks found in the waters of the United States is a part of the coasting trade of the United States in which a foreign vessel cannot engage without @ violation of the acts of 1793 and 1817, subjecting the goods to forfeiture and the payment of a penalty of $1 per ton on the vessel’s tonnage. The Expenses of the North Pacific Ex- pedition. Following upon Secretary Belknap’s edict against the large yearly deficiency bilis of his bureaus comes the question of providing supplics and trans- portation for the large escorts required by survey- ing and construction parties on the Northern Pacific road, The Quartermaster’s Department finds that with increased demands from every quarter where the Indians are troublesome, as in the Modoc country, Arizona, Texas and the West and Northwest Territories, it will be necessary to« provide an entirely new outfit for the North Pacific expedition, and are glum and gloomy over the prospect of facing Congress with another big de- ficiency bill next session, Disputes that Complicate the Issuance of Ships’ Papers. The Treasury Department has decided that where disputes among owners complicate issuance of ships’ papers the papers shail be issued to the managing Owner on taking the usual oath of own- ership and citizenship. This relieves Collectors of Customs from settling compiex questions of title, and leaves disputes to the State or federai Courts, General Schofield’s Report on the Sand- wich Islands.

Basements Filled with Water in Roches- ter—A Man Nearly Drowned. Railroad Travel Suspended in New York State. Rocuester, April 9, 1873, It has been raining hard here all the afternoon and evening, and also up the valley, Specials from Mount Morris say that the river is higher and still raining, and warning us to prepared tor any emer- gency. The basements of the stores in Exchange Place, Mill and Front streets are filling with water. Large sectiens of the towpath and banks of the Valley Canal, seven miles south of this city, are washed out and the river 1s towing in. There isa reported break in the same canal at Rapids, one mile south of the city. The river is rising here and the canals through thecity slowly filling. There are fears that the lumber trom the yards in Exchange street will be washed into the race and river to-night, obstruct- ing the arches of the bridges, Heavy damage is reported at Mount Morris to the canal there and the vicinity. Gangs of men stand ready to cut the banks of the canal south of the city when necessary to let the water flow into the river. Merchants ta the central part of the city are: removing goods to places of safety. Avon, Genesee and Mount Morris say that the river is rising fast. Great alarm is felt here, and there are apprehensions ofa more distrous flood than occurred by the one in 1865.. All the freight trains are abandoned east o1 here on the Central and Erie railways to-day. The tracks are sub- merged near the Clyde, but not washed out. The waste weir, near the weighlockin the canal feeder, has gone out, and the river is Nowing in. A man was nearly drowned in a house in Front street this afternoon, and had to be taken to the hospital. Canal oficials say the Valley Canal ts so damaged as to be beyond repair before the middie of the season of navigation, Great Damage to the Railroads. ALBANY, April 9, 1873. The flood on the Central Railroad track west of here is causing serious damage to business inter- ests. No trains have reached this city since yester- day morning. The track from Spraker’s to Pala- tine Bridge was entirely submerged, in some places to the depth of about three feet, by ice and water. A freight train was thrown from the track above Spraker’s by the suddenness of the food, and a number of curs were dam- aged. A large section of the track is also reported to have been washed away. No tratos from west of Palatine Eridge can pass the obstructions, Trains from Fonda, Amsterdam and Schenectady are the enly ones running. A large gaug ef men have been sent to the obstructed part, and they will era the track as soon as the water subsides, which |: is expected to de to-day. A heavy pas- senger train leit for the West at two o'clock this af- ternoon, in hopes of getting through all right. The ice has not yet given way in either East or West Canada Creek. When it does the ice gorge in the Mokawk will be broken and the water west will then begin to fall. At Sandy Hill and other northern points on the Hudson the water was rising at noon to-day, although there has been no break in the Upper Hudson. Should the Canada creeks and Upper Hudson break away simultaneously there would be a heavy freshet here. Damage on the Oswego River. ALBANY, N. Y., April 9, 1873. It is understood that the new high dam across the Oswego River, near Oswego, was torn away yesterday. It belonged to the Svate and was near completion.

Worcester, Mass., April 9, 1873. The dam at Ramshorn pond, West Millbury, five hundred feet long, gave way early this morning, and the water swept through the valley in West Millbury, Auburn and the southern part of this city. At West Millbury, Lombard’s shingle yard was entirely destroyed, and two houses were car- ried by the current jor a considerable distance, one of them being prevented frem going ‘over the falls by being caught in trees. Gigg’s tannery was nearly destreyed and three bridges across the highway were washed away and the roads were badly washed ont, Larned’s mijl at Auburn is badly damaged, and 150 feet of track of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad, with a stone bridge, are washed away. The low lands in the southern portion oi this city are flooded and the damage will be very heavy. At nine o'clock to-night it is thought that no fur- ther damage will result unless Trowbridge dam, two miles trom the city, breaks, Susquehanna, Delaware and Lehigh Rivers. WILKESBARRE, Pa,, April 9, 1873, The Susquehanna rose to twenty-three feet above low water mark this morning. There is a continuous sheet of water between Pike’s Hotel, in Kingston, and the bridge, and boats can be rowed the whole distance. The river is falling slowly this afternoon. At Easton the Delaware River is still twenty feet above low water mark and rising. The Lehigh is falling. The canal is flooded in several places, No serious damage is reported. Great Destruction of Property in Mary- land. Fort WAYNE, Ind., April 9, 1873. The heaviest rainstorm for five years occurred here during the forty-eight hours ending this evening, the fall being three inches and three-quarters, St. Mary’s River overflowed its banks, almost floating barns and houses on the low grounds. Three hundred yards of the Fort Wayne, Muncie and Cincinnati Kailroad track was washed away this morning. ‘The railroad bridge at Waterloo was also carried away this morning. ae The Saginaw River Ri Derroit, Mich., April 9, 1873. The water in the Saginaw River is nearly up to the point reached by the flood two years ago, and is still rising.
