The fiood was slowly falling here yosterday and last night, and all information from up the river proves that for the present It will continue to doso. The followicg fa a full outline of the condition of affalrs, up to a late beur in the night: COUNCIL BLUFFS INUNDATED. The reports that reached this side of the river on Saturday of the disas- ter and inconvenlence caused by the rising waters at Council Bloffs were not exaggerated in the least, as inves- tigation yest proved. The track of the Union Paclfic raflroad trom the point where the switches branch off was flooded nearly to the platform of the transfer depot. Fiat cars were ran out over & portion of this dlstance ani connected by planks, across which somewhat periious bridging the over- passengers were obliged to walk as best they could, picking their way -'-:,:' i:in of improvised porters empl carrying the ba, mails, The water rus! rails with a terrific apeed, and nearly reached the top of the flat car wheels. Spoon Lake,as has before been stated, was the chosen channel throngh which the main body of water ran, and at the point where the current was strongest it was necessary to freight down the flat cars standing on the sub- 'merged bridge, as well as that struc. tare itself, with hundreds of tons of iron and rails. IN THE TRANSFER DEPOT and hotel things had a generally dis- msl look. The water had put ont the fires under the boilers of the la snd the building could aot be heated. Ta the storeroom and cellar mud and water stood waist deep, with any quaatity walting outside to come in. A small doukey pump was set io motion, but was ineffectual to do more than hold its own. The clerk of the hotel stated that he had been obliged to con- stract rafts to get his help from the lit- tle island across Spoon Lake in the morning, and all the horees had to be taken out of the barn to higher ground. From the rear stoop of the hotel thesoene was as strange as the condition of affairs was deplorable. For nearly a mile the WATE2 COVERED THE 1RACKS sud surroanded the houses and other ‘bui The Drovers bhotel was supplied with about two feet of the muddy liquid on ite ground floor, and its occupants were unable to leave it or return except in skiffe. Some thir- ty or forty dwellings were in the same fix, while at a little distance the chief fountain head of all Council Bluffs illaminatio *, the gas bouse, was deep in the water, and disabled to such an ng gas Friday night was one of great excitement. Tae romor thatthe Big Muddy was shifting ite channel seemed to have some founda- tion from the rush of water over the prairies and the violent commotion throogh Spoon Lake, and all the in- habitaots of the Bluffs were seriously slasrmed. The FIRE BELLS WERE BUNG, eagines whistled, and fish horns were blown, until a grest number -f citizens were gatherea from their beds tw watch the ristog fiood, and assist in takiog out the half drowned and terri- fied iumstes of the houses on the bottum land, and removing the horses that were stamping, neighing and snurting with fright at the strange midnight visitor which had come creeping into their stables, while the scresms of women and children added to the alarm. At Taat,fhowever, all were rescaed, the stock removed to safer quart and the customary somnolent tran- quillity of the town returned. LOOKING ACEOSS THE WATER trom the transfer depot toward the N side, the sight was indeed :nfl:mi one. The river seemed a vast d sea that had sprung into ex- istence in a night. Only a little dis- tance from the shore were thousands snd thousand of black objects floating about on the waves, now and then sho hite and. glittering in the sun. were ducks, fairly rovel- ling in the mnddy waters presented to them in their northward flight. The sun, when setting, cast its rays across the water transforming it into » wavy, shimmering sea of silver, making the scene one of inexpressible beauty. DROWNED OUT §T0CK YARDS. All of the stock yards south of the Bluffs were under three or four feet of water, the tops of ‘the fence posts just showing. The great barns seemed about resdy to flost away, but as the current passes to the west of them they will probsbly remsin undistared. None of the cattle or horses were lost in removing from thess barns, althouga many were taken out in water wp to tneir haunches. SAVING THE LUMBER The proprietors of ihe different lumber yards were busy all day yes terday with gange of men preparing for cies. Mr. Cady, of the Cnicsgs lumber company, was seen, .u::-;d: "w.:mrmw seventy- men at wol v ok them upas fast as wa could, 'rel:an‘:: the lumber and hauling 1t by the aid of fifteen teams to higher groand. If the water dean't change by to-mor row, we will put on iwenty five teams, and get out all of the matched and planed lomber. We understand that there ia rise abova here, but there is nothing authenticabout it. Qur first information came from the U. P. de- Pot across the river, that there was nine feet of water at Sioux City. That would be as much as five feet here,but it oan't reach here much before to- morrow (Monday) night. In any event, we propose to be ready for any rise, beoause we will get our lum ber * | out of the way by taking it upon the A regular meetiog of Geo. A. Cas- tor. Post No. 7, G. A.

Mr. Hoagland was found working with a gang of men at the apex of an his boom, and in response to iry aald: “‘As the piles lift and bar fajls down we will catch 1 row, when it is certain whether the ise said 1o be coming from wbove is & reality T expect that the best way will be to pat on » large enough foroe to haul the whole thing ont, We have a raf: built up there by che sheds and we will load the lumber on it and take it out on this track as fast as we ean. We know nothing reliable, but were told » while ago that Mr. Paxton bas received s dispatch that a large body of water had ocongregated at Bioux Oity. I expect that the whole thing is a rumor, but we Intend to getout our lumber in such a ahspe that it will be reaqy for any emergen- cy. If our booms hold we shall lose comparatively little, We have con- siderable lomber on the road which has been blocked by snow, and in any event we shall be atlc to supply all demands. At presen: (6 o'clock) the booms sround our lumber are all right.” NOT FPRIGHTENED. Messrs. Foster and Gray did not have a very large force at_work, and were not apparently s zaxious as the others concerning the rumors of a big rise up the river. ‘‘We shall double boom our lumber,” ssid Mr. Gray, “‘and if that will not held it nothing will. T don't think that there will be any more trouble.” THE SCARE EXPLCDED. Late yesterday afterncon the first definite and authentic news from Sioux City was recsived from G. W. Naile, chief operator at Sioux Cily, in answer to one from Mr. L. M. Rheem, of this city. The following are the telegrams,and will sxplain themselves, as well as explode the scare caused the rumors current yestcrday, that a nine feet rise was coming down at ten miles sn_hour from Sioux City, and would doubtless clear everything in its course: ME. REEEN'S DISPATCH: Oana, April 10. G. W. Naile, Sioox City, Iowa: Report heighth of river morning of 8th, 9thand 10th, and if rising or falling now; also_what mews from above. snd present con at Sionx City. Rumrs very conflicting. L. M. Ruzex, Sioux Crry, Towa, April 10. L, M. Rhoem, Omaha, Nebraska: River morning 8th, high-water mark; 9th, one foot below; 10th, feet below and falling two inches an hour. At Yauk- ton yesterday it had fallen fifteen feet from highest point and stationary, with twenty- eight feet in channels. 'Gorge below Yankton it reported to still hold. The water is falling above there. NAILE. AN OPINION, Several gentlemen who are posted in the peculiarities of the Missouri, among them P. E. Iler, of the Wil- low Springs distillery, expressed as their opinion that the gorgo at Yank- ton would amount to nothing, as the water falling above and below it would effectually relieve all pressure and aver: all danger to progerty herea- boats. THE SMELTING WORKS are still deeply submerged. Mr. E. W. Nash, senior'membor of the smelt- ing works firm, stated last evenin, that the entlre direct damage wouls not amount to more than $2000, This, said he, includes the two buildings moved from their foundations, which were the foundry and a smaller build- ing above. Both were composed of wood. The foundry went to pieces Fridsy night and flosted down the river. The other building was moved about fifty feet aud landed all right. Ot course,” eald Mr. Nash, “it i impossible to determine the exact in- direct damage from stoppage of the works and the trouble with the fur- naces At the present time our chim- nies are all right, and will doubtless remain 80, as they have borne a much greater pressure than will probably be brought to bear.” From Saturday Evening’s Dee At oue o'clock this morning the water was rising graduslly in the river and pouring into the basins sur- rounding the lumber and coal yards in overwhelming stresms. The main carrent of the river seemed to diverge sumenhat offits course'of the day be- fore and to bear away 1« -ard the east shore. This wes indicated by the ac- tion of the ice, which had heretcfore proseed with dangerous forco against the smelting works snd government riprap. The proprictors of the various lumber yards, the Chicago, Foster, Gray and Hoagland, were on hand all Dight with gangs of men, endeavoring to construct booms around their yards and thereby save some $250,000 worth of lumber, s ored in piles and under the sheds. NARROW ESCAPES. About two o'clock two accidents oc- curred, which nearly resulted in the loes of two more lives. Mr. H. F. Cady, of Nebraska City, a partner of Mr. F. Colpetser in the Chicago lum ber company, arrived «¢ Omaha yes- terday in answer to a ielegram that | w; their property was in danger. Abont two o’clock this moraing he was walk- ing on & planking near the upper part ! of the yard, when he stepped off in- | to some ten feet of water. The car- | rent was very swift and quickly drew him under the planking. 1In a con- | valsive movement he grasped the end { of a board, and finally, by superhu- Jmln exertions, succeeded in getting ,out. Morets Spellman, of Omaba, working for Hongland, fell in the wa- ter where it was quite deep, and would undoubtedly have been | drowned had it not been that hiscom, ! punions rendered him speedy assist. | ance. | AT 8IX 0'CLOCK { this morning, the gange showed an additional rise of nine inches above the messurement taken at twelve o'clook,fmaking the total beight above low water mark nearly twenty-three feet. By this time all of the lumber yards were filling rapidly; the car shops and engine house belonging to the U. P. works were entirely sur- rounded and the aspect of affairs were moet discouraging. Then, for some upexplained reason, the rise seemed to cease and it was hoped that the flood bad resched its limit. This condition of aflairs continued for three hours, and the most active efforts were made to PROTECT THE PROPERTY of the U. P. company, the smelting works and the lumber yards. At nine o'clock a rush came, ‘and the side tracks which had up te that time acted as barriers to the progress of the flood by | west of the began to show signs of weakness, and in a few minates huge parts of theem- bankments had given awsy and the water was pouring into the lust and remaining basins west of the smelting works. Nothing could be done by the men ¢mployed in *‘booming” the lomber yard except by boats, aud the work of stretchiog the huge sticks which were to be the only safety for a quarter million dollws worth of timber, progressed slowly. At times » pi boards would godown with a crash and wooll float away, part of it to be ocaught by the men and & part to get out into the main car-ent. How much was lost in tais way could not be definitely ascer- tained. A talk with the different pro- prietors of the lawber v coal yards showed them to be very - ixions. The large sash house of the Chicago com pany, filled with solid sash and doors, was already four feet in water. “If that should raise,” said Mr. Cady, of this company, “4t would be *‘goop BYE" to all of the lumber in this and the other yards, for it would break any boom that we canstretch. 1 think that a rise of six inches more will take 1t from its foundations, and when it comes we want to look out for our- selves!” Tke lime cars standing on & side track were emptied of their con- tents at an esrly hour this morning, to prevent thelr destruction by fre, as the _rapldly slscking lime was al- ready forcing smoke out of the crevi- ces of the cars. This slone fnvolves s loss ot nearly a thousand dollars. TP IN THE STREAM, which rushed with an angry hiss be tween the smelting works and lumber yards, could be seen large chunks of timber and. of frames, which had evidently belonged to dismantled and wrecked houses and barns from up the strsam. A rej of Tex Bxr char- tered a boat (which he rowed himself), and struck out on a tour of investiga- tion among the many devious winding snd crooked places of the upper and lower yatds, The lumber piles were found to be very shaky or tum- bleddown. Up in the car yards the tracks at places were evidently sunken and the cars up to water above thelr whoels, All of the shops were flood- ed, in many Instances the water reach- Ing to the tops of the machines. No estimate can be formed of the damage to machinery, belting and floors, but it must be very heavy. Three houses lower shops were surrounded by the water, which at this point had risen seven inches, from nine o'clock to noon. Above the shops several more houses were inundated and the inhabitants had all moved ont. The barn belongiug to the railroad company seemed just ready to float away, and if it should start it wonld doubtless sweep every- thing in its path, as at this polnt the carrent ls very awit. A zAMILY IN As the reporter was pulling down through the lumber piles and ca finding here and thero a place just wide enough to squeeze through, he was hailed by a man on topofabox car in the distance. The man proved to be John G. Cole, of Florence, who explaloed that hs wan:ed the boat to rescue a family on top of a house about two miles below Boyd's packing house, where his brother, Enos Cole, and the latter's wife and five children, were on top of their in- undated house, waiting for help. Mr. Cole also stated that his brother has five horses in the barn which was floating near the house, and it was thought doubtful if they could be kept from drowning. = THE RISE from twelve oolock last night to twelve to-day was two foet, or an av- erage of two lnches an hour. The most alarming reports come from the east side of the river, which at twelve o'clock & reporter was dispatched to investigate, THE B AND M trains are abandoned for to'day, the rise on the Kansas City and St. Joe catting them off from Paclfic Junc- tion, and the bridge at Orepolis mot being yet completed. Trains are running between Plattsmouth and Pacific Junction, kesping up connec- tions with the 0, B. &Q, and run- ning regularly from Piattsmouth westward. A RUMOR EXPLODED, A rumor has been current on ihe street that seversl hundred head of csttle had been drowhed at the Coun- cil Bluffs stock yards. A telephone mun?l to the transfer depot elicited the fnformation that the stock had all been removed before the water reach- ed them, and that noue have been drowned. At two o'clock efforts were being made to transfer passen, d baggage, according to the scheme men- tloned above. BLAIR. A dispatch to the Bxe from Blalr at 1:45 p. m. to-day atates no damage has been dene at that poiut and that the river is falling and comparatively free from ice. The proprictors of theGmahaSmelt- ing Works kesp a ‘upper lip, and claim to believe that thelr works will not be seriomaly injured by the flood ACROSS THE RIVER. The water is about four feet deep at Council Bluffs, aronnd the engine houses and swesping along the track. Tt also has reached the Union Pacific depot and has inundated a portion of the platform. The passengers west- ward bound on the train due at 12:16 were transferred at three o'clock means of fiat cars which were upon the inun- dated track, and covered with plank- i:g. h"ohdum‘llny Ir;l:h.'u nesr to e awi and tool passengers and baggage on bosrd. No sccident vocurred during the transfer. SAVING STOCK. The cattle in the upper barne of the iilow Springs distillery were taken out this morning. About 1,100 head were driven to higher ground, with aloss of but one or two. In the mad planging of the excited animals sev- eral employes were knooked down and trampled, but no one was known to be badly hurt. From Saturdsy Evening's Bee, COUNCIL BLUFFS. The situation this morning at the city on the east side was alarmiog in the higbest degree, although it was exosedingly dificult to get any detalls on this side. It was definitely learned, however, that all tke lower portion of the city was flooded, that the water at many of the warehouses had reached the second floors and that many faml- lies had been obliged t vacate their dwellings and acoept the hospitality of theic neighburs on the higher ground. Great alarm was felt on ev- ery side, aad great crowds of people thronged the banks of the steadily widening soa sud secmed to fear that even the betier part of the town might be reached by the flood. All cemmaunication with THE TEANSFER nd with several of the city railroad offiss was cut off, except by boat, and fo many . places the ewift current made even communication of this kind difficult and risky. At the trans- fer depot during the early hours of the morning It was believed that the Union Pacific bridge across Spoon Lake had been washed away. This, however, was not the case, but the depot authorities feared it unsafe for the passsge ofjtrains and several freight cars were +lowly backed down by a locomotive to determine its condition. The cars moved slowly over it, and the fact was promptly communicated to Union Pacific headquarters in this city. A pla for COMMTUNICATION with the transfer depot wss quickly decided upon, which was carried into effect » fow hours Iater. To rans passenger train through the flood was deemed impracticsble, but s temporsry bridge was de- vised and moved into place, con- sisting of » train of flat cars, one thousand feet in length, extending from the transfer depot to a point this side the Spoon Lake bridge, where the passengers could take the train backed over from this side. The sit- uation ON THE RATLROADS this morning was as follows: The Rock Island alone [was able to run out ita east bouid tealn. Of the tralns due this morning from the east none were able to get through. The 0. B. & Q. was cut off at some point in Western Towa, and at last ac- counts was not expected to reach Councll Bluffs with its passengers. The Nerthwestern and Rock Island bad reached their clty depots, and the former ls at present writing pre- paring to transfer its passengers and mail to the transfer depot by means of boats. Five east bound passengers were waiting at the tranafer depot to get to the North- western when the boats should return. The Wabash was reported on time but was anable to reach the depot. Both the Sioux Oity and St. Joe roadsare cut off. A balletin at the postoffice in this city this morning, sanounced that there would be no ' eastern malls to-dsy. THE TRANSFER HOTEL is floodea and the fires out in the botler furnace, by which the bullding is heated. Around the platforms the water is ssid to be still some inches | below their level. The rumor that the baggage room is flooded was found to be untroe at 12 o'clock, the water belng still two foet lower than the floor. Arrange- ments had been made to clear the cel- Iars of water with a steam pump, but 8 the water is still rising, this scheme will undoubredly be abandoned for the present. Rallroad Officials Hunting.

P. coal shed on [hirteenth street, near Leavenworth, reached the office Sa- tardsy—a small building nesr the shed—he found to his surprise that the door was ajar. Hatering he ob- served that the outer safe door was open and shattered. A quick exam- ination revealed the fact that the barglars had not succeeded In making their way through the lnnmer door, whish they had penetrated with a drill to the depth of about half an inch. The only other trace of their visit was & broken drill on the fisor. It was found they had entered the outer door by drilllag just above the combination and lnserting powder had blown the outer door open, shattering the eutire inside porticn of it. This accomplished they had re- moved ihe kneb and rim from the inner door and attempted to drill through this door, which is composed of alternate layers of chilled iron and steel, and constitutes the burglar proof portion of the ssfe. The office till, which the burglars had opened, contained only & plece of 25 cent srlp, which the burglars had left. The only article taken was a revolver, which was in the outer portion of the safe, and belonged to the weighmaster. “WINE OF CARDUI" cures irregu- Las; painfal, or dificull menstruation. At C. F.
