The Greatest Flood Ever Known. Deluging the Union Pacific Shops. The Waters Break Over the Track and Sweep Every thing Before Item , From last Even Jig's Be ) . When the grey dawn of morning came it waa very evident that the rise of the water , which had begun to threaten everything on both aicea of the river and especially ih U P shops and the smelling works , had not | ceased. At seven o'clock it wai fully alx inches higher -nan at twelve oclock last I night , and waa touching , with its turbid wave , the tracKs and founda tions . of the railroad comp-ny's build ings. All of the men in the employ of ihe cumpiny went to work ia the ytrds , excent those in the machine ah-ips , w/io bus ed themstlv-ts iu gt t- tlt < ont their touls and looking afttr the beltine" , wh ch t * e wter TUfeEATZNED TO KUIf.

A huudred or m > re of thtse found em pi iym-mt ia Hsjia'inij the laborers to b < ll.ist the track and remove portable machinery to higher and dryer points. At ten o'clock the carrenti had commeacel to form be tween the shops , aud the whole soon assumed the appjar nceof a Venetian suburb. Mtny of th * side tracks were already ont of euht. All the cars bad been drawn off from them , and the officials of the yards were conau'tuu as to the feasibility of send ing all the rolling etock to the general yards near the depot A gang of 11 about seventy five men were em I ploye ] ! for the eutire distance between the shopp and the smelting works , I BALLASTING THE MAIN TIIACK } . and placing heavy sticks of timber andiron Weights on the ties. Audit became orident that their libora wtre not without use , for by eleven o'clock the water had risen sufficiently to creep in under Ihe rids and at places where the laborers had not yet reached , to wash out the earth between the ties. A Iaga number of people , beside the employes of the shops and smelting w-rks , had by tliii time been attracted to the river and occupied nil of the available dry places , whence the ; could giza upen the might ; ex panse of water moving eo grandly | down. The current ran at leiat 'en I. milts an hour , aud the whole looked like a m'gratint ; sea Measurement * were taken as to the relative- height of the flood at this time. It was found th t the water was MNETEEK FEET and eeven inches above low water mark , which is a foot nbove the high- . st point reached in many years and probably the highest over arrived Ht before. When it is t.hen into con sideratlon that this body of water spreads over three mileo , some idea m y be obtaimd i.f the vast amount of ( muddy liquid which it pouring , down from the mountains and pUii-s to mingle with the waves of the Mis aisaippi. , A VISIT TO THE SHOPS' , showed the general dilapidation which , the wa'cr hid cauaed. In the car- ahups the wood pavement had heaved Up in many places , and caused serious spliceuieiit of the n-mc'iinery. Here the water waa from B > I to eight inches p , and work entirely suspended. In the machine shops , Nrs 1 anrl 2 , the wter was not sii deep , but suffi ciently ao to prevent work. In the boiler and the blick'tnith shop * -he s line condition < f thingj existed.

D via , of the Water Wur > s com | pany , in his office this mo niny. Mr. Davis WAS a lot g time iu charge of the government improvements of the rivur lit this point and his opinion on or the aspects of the present flood ia for that re e on of much value. " \Vhi > t ia the nature , " asked the re porter , " thejbrenk in the government 'Mi north of the Smelting Works ? " It ( s difficult to tell bt present , " Mr. DcvTa , "My impression , re ceived troui an examination yesterday , that tbe mattress protection to bank HAD BEEK REMOVED the current , which seemed to be playing directly igainst the bank. " "Wnatwillbe the result ? " "The point at which the break has like occurred is that nt which the river strike * most heavily , f er leaving thb curve immediately "above If a break of occurred there iu tne revetment shore protection , it i , Ji.t > l i to in mm crease very rapidly ani become quite tne disKstroua. " and the "Doea'ithis weaken yonr faith in ] * ' ' - the theory on which the government has protected tbe river bottoms here ? " "Not at all. The work yon refer to waa done by Major Boehmer , in 1878 4.t that time no settled plan ha < i been adopted , and ths undertak ing was new and largely experimental. Subsequent to that time many im provements were made in the plan , and I consider all the later work per manent and PKOOF AOAINST THE BITER at all times. In the eddy at East- port , opD * > eite Nebraska City , the bank protection is holding its own against th .action of seventy feet of water. Here there it but twenty five fo t exprs-d. All the late work ia solid and substantial. " "Is the investment of the water works company on the rver bottom in danget ? " "No. I would rather have a mil lion dollars invested there thin a thouaand where the smelting works are loca'ed. The works will ba sev' oral feet above tie retch of any p is- sibe ! nee. T io present is ui'i-ubt- ' ediy higher , even , than th t of 1857 , and our investment is ni h aud dry , though at p resell- , surrounded on all aides by water " AT 2:30 O'CLOCK the river had riieu 5i inches since morning and had readied a point of 19 ( et-t and 10inches ab ve low water ma < k.

Nearly three thousand people lined the banks and assisted the rnilroad employes in their tffjris t combat the flood. EEMOTIXQ STOCK. Lite in the afternoon the cattle in the Bon'h birns of Her Bros. , on the bottomlands , were removed to higher ground , and many of them placed in cars for shipment. The flied came in so rapidly that the water was nearly at the haunches of the cattle last removed , and it was with difficulty . that they were taken out. While su perintending this work , Mr. Stephen Her fell into a deep hole , and was neirly drowned by a heavy steer fall ing on him. The cattle In tha upper barn were not removed , and will not be nnlest an nnexpected rise of the water occur * . BREAKING OVEK THE TBACK. The measurements taken at 6 o'clcck last night showed that the rise of the flood during the day had been nearly two feet , it reaching the unparalleled point of twenty one feet , and nearly two inches above low watermark. At this time an extra force of men were put on to watch and work during the night , and , with hoes , shovels and pole * , they were stationed at intervals aloi'g tbe tr ck between the smelting works and the shops , to keep cS stray sticks of timber , and throw no an em bankment wherever the water threat ened to clear the track. They strug gled bravely against the floods , and at 9:30 had raised the bank in many pl-cea two feet above tha level of the rails All at once a cry was beard from the man stationed farthest up the track , thnt THE WATEB WAS COMINO and almost before the alarm could be spread , the waves came sweeping ankle deep , and then to the boot tops , over the entire length of the embankment. All were forced to run , and the men wadvd < iiit of the water that overtook them bef .re they had taken fifty steps. The fore * uf the current waa so strong thHt it swept j ast and over every ob stacle , pouring through the lumber yard and acre as D mglss street into the lake < h > t was rapidly forming be yond. 'J he fence north of the smelt ing works , which had up to this time withstood the flood , came down WITH A CRASH , and the mass uf ice which it had held btck came crushing aud grinding through tnu ch-imitl west of the bui'd * ings. At this j mcture the lime in the iiuirt hiiose ut the ftmelting worka slack d fli > f-flt that It ig Hted the tim bers and the novel sig'it of fire iu the midst ( . .fan eddying nea of water , wai presented to the excited spectators.

The report waa received at eleven ' o'clock hit nfuht from Council Blufla < that the flood waa filling in the spice j j hntween the Northwestern and Union > \ Pacific tracks and that , the lower per * j tionof the town Wi > s seriously threat ened. AT 11 O'CLOCK crowd , including several buiinesi r men nd auuary newspaper reporters , found their way into the office of the ChicHgo Lumber company , at the foot of DuugUs street , where several of the prominent lumber men were dis cussing tbe tuatiun. O.itsido labor ers were tugged in pulling lumber from tbe water , and in protecting the office. Each of the Iu nber deslera had his yard protected by a boom. The water was then ruuning * ix mile an hour through Foster's lumberyard. Reporii received from up "tho river shoved that the water was still rising Blsir. A few minutes later , when " the patty s'arted to move , it waa found that the watur had begun to ESTER TBBOTJOH THE BOOK , and on goin outaide It was discover ed that tht ) building waa entirely sur rounded , and that it waa necessary to walk several feat acrosa a timber to reach the ctreot On every aide little groups of men with lanterns could be seen putting the lumber in shape to better resist the action of the flood , examining and discussing tbe situ ation. The ominous roar of tbe of wavea to the north could be heard more distinctly every momezt , and the prospect for the nmelting worka a seemed gloomy in tbe higheit degree. FALL OF THE FEEET MAST. At 5 o'clock yesterday afternon the ferry cable , which connects the two lofty masts on opposite bankj ot the river , parted close to the mast on the Council Bluffs aide , aud fell into the river. In an instant the action of the flood and ice on the cable caused the mast * on the Nebraska aide to whip a sapling Several men were gathered around watching it intently , when it suddenly fell in the direction the river , narrowly missing Bill Poster T.yon * in its falL Another , endeavoring to escape the fall of mist , c > ught his foot in a wire , fell a few inches from the path of mast. AT MIDXIQUT. The situation was practically un- changed , although a little more ao. In the TJ. P. yards the rise of the water between eleven and twelve o'clock was ns less than two and one- half inches. A visit of aeveral BEE reporters to the seen ) at a late hoar disclosed a moat deiolate sight. The water waa pouring with an ominous rnabing roar through the machine shops and emptying into the lagoon that had formed in and below the lum ber yards. In a imall cabin aeveral watchmen gathered and compared no es. One man came in with drip piQR garments and elated that he had walked on the main track the eutire distance from Ninth street. In places he waa obliged to wade through water waist derp , but he had found the raila mott'y in their places. The tiea were t points loosened and float ing under the iron , but none f thtm had , as yet , left their place. A heavy crash was heard in the vicinity of the smelting worka about one o'clock in the morning , but examination failed to discover what had "dropped. " OLUB HUJ8T. Three Days Annual Rustle o ) the Omaha Sportsmen's Club. A special meettrg of the 0-naha Sportsmen's club was held Thurday at the clnb rooms over Collins & Potty's store , for the pnrposH < f mak Ing arrangements for the annual clu hunt. The subject of the timf r the hunt was the sur > j ot if lively dis cnssion. It was finally determined to change the usual TIME OF THK HITTT , and also to make it prc'ically a three day's hunt instead of one dty , and to fix it for Wednesday , Thursday and Friday , April 13th , 14th and 15th. The sides are to register at C llinn & Petty' * on Wednesday morning after 8 o'clock and the last man is to be on hai d with his bag of game by 6 o'clock of the Friday evening following. Where men are delayed by unavoidable accidents and make it clear that this was the cause of their delay , their game will be received at a later honr In the evening. Instead of being , as in the past , a "man against man" hunt , it will be a side hunt. Etch member ot the defeated side must , as a penalty , pay three dolhra into the clnb treasury. The game- will be csunted on Friday evening. THE GAME will bo counted In the usual manner , geese ranging from 8 to 12 , according to tbe variety , and ducks from 1 to 5. Canada geese are the only variety which so ra at 12 , and canvas back , buff breasted , mergaucar and dusky ducks at 5. Hawks nndowls also connt 5 each. The varieties of game which count highest are sand-hill crane , 15 , and swans and eagles , 25. The numer ous varieties of smaller gtme , which make np thegreater part of every bug , conn ( proportionately. Game is said by the old sportsmen to be very plenty , and with a three days hunt it is prob able that an enormous quantity of game will be secured. The following are THE SIDES. Oapt. W. J.
