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

assumed the appjar nceof a Venetian

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

Davis WAS a lot g time iu charge of the
government improvements of the

the aspects of the present flood ia for
that re e on of much value.

Mr. DcvTa , "My impression , re

"Wnatwillbe the result ? "

"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

Subsequent to that time many im
provements were made in the plan ,

bank protection is holding its own

solid and substantial. "
"Is the investment of the water
works company on the rver bottom
in danget ? "
"No. I would rather have a mil

thouaand where the smelting works
are loca'ed. The works will ba sev'

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

barn were not removed , and will not

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

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

ed that tht ) building waa entirely sur

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. "

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
