THE VERNAL FLOODS. | Breaking of Several Ice-Barrlers in the Susquehanna. THE WATERS RUSHING DOWN. Railroad Tracks Overflowed in the Valleys. TOWNS AND VILLAGES AGAIN IN DANGER The Gorges of the Delaware Still Strong and Threatening a Deluge. Prrrsron, Pa., March 31, 1875. About four o’clock this afternoon word was sent from Ransom that the ice in that vicinity was be- ing greatly disturbed by the agitation of the rising waters, This report was subsequently supple- mented by a despatch stating that the gorge was im motion, The alarm was tmmediately sounded here and in a very short time the streets were thronged with men, women and children, ail hastening toward the banks of the river. At five o’clock whe ice was just observed irom the span of the new bridge, which the flood of two weeks ago left standing. It was coming very slowly around the bend in the river opposite Coxton, about a mile above this point. The several small boats which have been doing ferry ser- vice on the river since the destruc- tion of the bridges were now in great demand by those residing on the west side, They made all sorts of extravagant bids for places in the boats which were likely to get safely over, and the little craits were often loaded with bar- dens dangerously heavy. ARRIVAL OF THE 10E. In the meantime the river began to rise at a very rapid rate, not affecting the current, however, which was very quiet. At thirty minutes past five o’ciock the lower end of the floating mass was abreast of the dismantled piers of the new bridge, and the current was increasing rapidly. Wn the west side the banks of the Susquehanna were lined with hundreds of anxious spectators, and great activity among the residents near the Tiver was manilestea. The crowds on the east side kept augmenting until the span of the new bridge was black with people. They were subse- quently required to vacate the bridge by order of the Burgess, who deemed it prudent, in the face of the rising waters, to take every precaution agalost accidents, which might follow in the over- crowding of the span. RAILROAD TRAINS IMPEDED, The New York and Philadelphia train on the Lehigh Valley road, due at forty-five minutes past four in the afternoon, did not arrive until nearly six o’clock, having been detained at Plainavilie, two miles below this place, by running on a cake ot ice, which the rising waters had thrown upon the track. The train managed to get clear, but was forced to leave the baggage car standing on the rails. The engine barely escaped having her fires put out, the water coming up to within two inches of the fire-pan when the train moved on. Shortly atter the arrival of this train, three trains jrom the north, following im quick succession, passed this place. THE FLOOD RISING. At this hour, seven o’clock, the whole town is out and the water has not stopped rising. Every- body now 1s watching what effect the movements of the upper ice will have upon the Ice dam be- tween here and Wilkesbarre. The night ts cloudy and 1s very dark. SEVEN o’CLock.—In two hours the water has risen four feel, witha very siow current, caused by the gorged ice below. When the frst alarm was g Ven that the ice wgs in motion the Lebigh Valley Ratiroad Company nloved ali their trains lying at the Coxton forwarding station to the Pleasan: Valley track, whica is located on high ground and at the base of a mountain. Information has been recetved that no trains will pass here on the Val- ley road to-night. TRE RANSOM GORGE LODGED. Ateight o'clock the Ransom gorge passed this point, bat it is all lodged against the ice dam below here, The water in iront was running quite clear and great bonfires were kindled on bota sides of tue river. The river has sought a channel below and Is reported to be flowing over | the Kingston Flats. . THE WATER DAMMED BACK. ELEVEN 0’CLOCK.—Tbere has been no perceptible change in the river at this point for the past two hours. ‘The illumination of its surface shows that large quantities of ice are constantly passing down the stream. A despatch frum Wilkesbarre, atew moments ago, said that the ice dam was still frm, while the waters were fast submerging the Kingston flats. A report is also abroad that the water at Plainsville 1s four feet nigner to-nignt than it was two weeks ago, when the houses were almost submerged. There are large quantities of ice Lo come down from points far above this place, but they cannot reach here until morning. The river is at @ standstill, with the water nearly twenty-four feet above tow water mark, It is im- possible to conjecture what the issue may be within the next twenty-four hours, THE GREAT POINT OF RESISTANCE AT WILKES- BARRE—DAMMING BACK OF THE WATER—THE KINGSTON FLATS, WEST PITTSTON, PARTLY INUNDATED. WILKESBARRS, Pa., March 31, 1875, The Joot of the Ransom gorge has lodged against the foot of the gorge here without starting It. The water has risen a foot and a half vere in a little over an hour and is now twenty-one feet above low water mark, but the gorge shows no signs of giving way, and may hold out through the night. The water is backing up at West Pitts- | ton and ts just beginning to flood that place. The Lenigh Valley Railroad is flooded between here All trains bave been avandonea between the two places and there are no mails from the North. The last train down reached here at seven o'clock this evening, two hours pe- bind time. ADVENTURES ON THE CARs. A Lackawanna and Bloomsburg train was just ahead of it and both were fliled with passengers, ‘The track was covered with water for a distance | 1 a mile and @ half, and in some places it was so | deep as to cover the second step of the cars, and came within two or tnree inches of running into | the fire box of the engine. The current across the ot ice, railroad sills, fences and logs, The trains | moved siowly and had to stop every few [eet to | remove obstructions. Train No. 4, north, was met | on the inundated track with its baggage car off | the rails, the hind truck having been caught by anice boulder. The baggage was removed, the car cut jJoose and leit im the food. Men rode on the iront of the engines on the down trains, and the steps of the curs were occupied by conauctors, brakemen and passengers, woo were all kepé busy im pushing and kicking away logs | and ice boulders from the track. A DANGER EVADED, At the swinging bridge there Was @ great mass ot floating ice and driitwood on tue track, aud While @ passage Was being opened through it, about an acre of ice, Which had been lodged on the right of tne track, began to move, and neaded across the track In fron\ of the train. It looked dangerous, and the men became frightened and tho ladies begau to cry, Some trees ana bushes, however, arrested its progress, and the trains made their way through belore it Started again. ‘The steps of the cars caught against large cakes o} ice several times and they were somewhat damaged, but the trains Were not otherwise in- jured, THE RIVER RAPIDLY RISING. The river continues to rise more rapidly than it has pejore to-day. It is @ mile Wide Nere, and a | great volume of water 19 flowing across tue King- ston Fiats, but is not yet Goaing away any of the scattered ice bouders.

The river has fallen five inches since nine O'clock, the water having found additional out lets across the Kingston Fists, through which tt is rushing with great force and noise.

Nothing can be heard from Kingston, and it is feared that it may be flooded by tue volume of water washing across the flats, Hits A MILE OF ICE SAFELY GOTTEN RID OF. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., March 31, 1375. One mule of the ice on the dam at this place moved off at hali-past tour o’clock this aiternoon. The remaining ice, five or six miles in length, will, m all probability, go off to-night, or to-mor- row at the furthest. The Glen Unton gorge 1s Sticking On tue piers of the Farrandsville Bridge, Edis a above Lock Haven. No danger ts appre- hended. TWO GORGES BREAK UP. Lewisnvae, Pa., March 31, 1875, The oid gorge above Milton broke to-day, Moved down and stopped one mile above here at one o’clock P. M. It starred again at half-past five P. M., and moved about thirty minates, It then stopped between here and Northumberland, the water backing up at the rate of five leet per hour. The people are moving out of their houses, No damage has been done as yet At eight o'clock the gorge gave Way and the waters began to recede. THE SUSQUEHANNA CLEAR AT PORT DEPOSIT. Port Derostr, Ma,, March 31, 1875. The tce gorge here bas passed away and the river ts clear ofice. The river is rising slowly, coed no alarm Is lelt, as @ water freshet can do no arm. RISING OF THE DELAWARE—THE WATER PILED UP AGAINST THE ICE GORGES. DELAWARE WATER Gap, Pa., March 31, 1875. The river here ts continually rising and has now reached a stage that may bring the ice down at any time, Reports from above say that the ice gorge 1s now in motion, or rather thas portions of it are being shoved from place to place by the actton of the water. The gorge holds the water back like a huge dam. It must certainly reach such a height that its power will be greater tnan the ice can resist, and then the latter will be carried down with great force. There ts a strong probability vhat this will be ac. complished to-day or to-morrow, particularly as the sky 18 Overcast and threatens rain. Kallroad oficiais are coustantly travelling back and forth, and the utmost anxiety 1s telt. THE ICE IN THE LACKAWAXEN AND NEVERSINK RIVERS MOVED—PORTENTS OF DANGER ON THE DELAWARE. Port JERvis, N. Y., March 81, 1875, The mild weather is beginning to affect the smaller rivers in this section. The ice in the Lackawaxen has started and several gorges have formed, one of which, at the mouth of the river, has dammed back the water, for three- quarters of a mile, trom ten to twenty Jeet high, and ears are entertained Jor the safety of the wire suspension aqueduct of the Delaware and Hudson canal. The ice is within a few feet o1 it, Another gorge has formed below Rowland’s, a short distance up the river, and it is thought the wagon vridge at that place will ve carried away, and other damage may be looked | jor. The ice in the Neversinx Went out this after- noon. Au immense dam had formed at tis mozth during the recent flood, and it was ap- prehended Carpenter’s Potut would be flooded, but the ice passed out without dong parm. The Deiaware is stillrising. Indications of @ heavy storm prevail, and the great gorge that commences at Dingman’s, sixteen miles beiow here, must soon move, THE STATE CAPITAL. HUSTED’ BILL FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE NATIONAL GUARD PASSED—THE SEVENTH REGIMENT ABMORY--THE REPORT OF THE SUPPLY BILL INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. ALBANY, March 31, 1875, The Assembly was almost exclusively occupied today in the third reading of bilis, and several were passed. Among them was Mr. Husted’s bill in relation to the organization and maintenance of the State National Guard. One of its provis- tons defines the method and routine for butiding and leasing armories in the city oi New York. It will Le recollected that a bill wa8 recently intro- duced by Mr. T. C. Campbell asking for an appro- Priation irom the State for building a Seventh regiment armory. ACTION OF THE SEVENTH REGIMENT. ‘This Dill was Killed as a special measure, It is understood irom a speech to-day, made by Mr. Waehner tn devating @ proposed amendment to Mr. Husted’s bill, taat toe action of the Seventh Tegiment is not all that couid be desired in tuis armory business. it appears that a law was Passed two years ago giving the Common Council ot New York city the power, i! they deemed fit, to lease some Very Vaiuable property on Lexington avenue ut a nominal figure to the Seventh regi- ment, upon which to erect anarmory. Alter the passage O1 toils law the Common Council refused to band over the property, aud then an enact- ment Was passed making the duty mandatory | upon that body. Thus the Seventh regiment are | said to have come into their present Jease. Mr. Waehner made an able speech to-day in offering an amendment to the general miliia law under debate, by which “the seventh” should be placed upon a par With other regiments of the State in this Matter of granting a valuable lease without adequate consideration. The amendment was lost, ARMORIES AND DKILLROOMS OF THE FUTURE. Cousiderable fraud bas been practised for years in providing proper accommodations tor the use Mr. Will tend to throw proper safeguards around this system. The section of the bill alluding to tois Particular subject reads as follows :— In the city ana county of New York, on the proper de- mands, countersigns and certificates, the Board of Al- dermei ot (he city of New York, by a resolution duly passed by a majority ot ali the members elecied to said Board, d by the Mayor, a ine the of buildings 101 id drill id occup: UrpYses ot New ( York, inthe manner hereinatter provided. s0 authorized inust be approved as to their form, terms and manner of execution, by the Mayor, the President ot the Board of Aldermen and the Comptrolier ot the ety of New York, or a majority of them, and the suins of money reserved tor rent therein shal be inserted in the annual tax levy and raised by taxation.

WILKESBABRE, Pa., Maren 31, 1875, The feeling of discontent amongthe miners, which bas broken out im turbutence, riot anda bloodshed in the Lehigh region, has extended to this city, and it is feared that similar scenes will be enacted here, perhaps with more virulence, On Monday an attempt was made to put the Diamond Mines, in this vicinity, owned by the Delaware and Hud: son Canal Company, io operation, and a number of miners went to work. This action caused con- siderable excliement among a large portion of the men in this district, and led to a few personal encounters and caused several arrests, which were disposed of in the Mayor's Court.
