From Last Kvenlng'n Eec.
GETTING IN RUNNING ORDER.
The roads from the eat > t and north ,
cantering at Council Bluffs , are
making the taoat earneet endeavors
to ( get their pasiengera through to the
transfer depot. The C. , B. & Q. rail
road was the most fortunate in having
a track upon which passenger cars
could be run , and sent down two
trains this forenoon to the depot. The
Wabash utilised the 0. , B. & Q. track
and sent one train from their depot to
the transfer. The water on Iho track
at'places was over tli3 car wheele , bat
the trains went through without accl-
dent Up to twelve o'clock to-day
the Northwestern road had notreached
the 1 transfer with any of Its passen
gers ( , but since that hour it has been
reported that a train was made up and
started over the 0. B. & Q. track.
About two hundred passengers were
transferred by the two former roads ,
who came over the river on the dum- '
my train about half past twclvo
,
o'clock. They all described the situa
tion of affair * at the Bluffj to bo of
the most deplorable nature. Two
young < gentlemen who came in on the
o B. & Q. train Saturday night , said
that they found out at Red Oak ,
Iowa , that it would be impossible to
reach the Bluffs by way of their track ,
and . that a train which had gone on
s'x ' hours before was obliged to
return. So they laid there
until the train ahead returned ,
when bath trains were put in one and
it came on to the Bluffs by way of the
Rock Island road. The hotels at the |
Bluffs hive been overflowing , but
now are becoming less thickly occu
pied. Among the passengers held .
across the river are about fifty emigrants - I
grants , under tbo charge of Mr. E. S.
Warner , of Omaha. They were quar
tered < in the Emigrant House and
wore made as comfortable as possible.
GETTING STEAM UP.
The uncomfortable condition of af
fairs at the Transfer hotel was some
what relieved this morning , by at last
getting . steam in the boilers and heat-
ing'tbebuilding. There wore about two
hundred people in and about the hotel
and depot after the train for the west
left , many of whom doubtless are
waiting to got out on the east-bound
trains. The Northwestern , C. , B. &
Q. , and Wabaeb. roads ran their trains
out in the morning , handling the bag
gage from the transfer by means of box
cars and transferring the passengers
in wagons. The Northwestern and
Wabash were obliged to carry both
passengers and baggage for nearly two
PIm
miles before reaching dry land. * ,
STILL AFLOAT.
Thcroare several families imprison
ed in the upper rooms of their honees
on both sides cf the river , about two
miles south of Omaha. Among them
is Enos Cole , his wife and five child
ren , who have boon living on a rude
staging put up on the roof of their
house , in Hoarding's timber , some two
and a half miles below Jioyd'a pack
ing house , since Friday last. 3 r. Cole
hai been supplied with thu necessaries
of life by his brother , who has reach
ed him in a small skiff. Several boats i
started from Council JJluITi to reacuo
them but _ were obliged to turnjiack
REPORTS OF THE FALL.
The latest reports from Sioux City
and Yankton as recorded in the U. P.
telegraph office at the depot in this
city , stale that there is a decline of
throe feet at Sioux City and eighteen
feet at Yanktcn. What should cau o
this great variation ic is difficult to
explain , but the report is undoubtedly
correct.
DELATED MAILS.
The last complet s-Tn U frotn the
east ; was received at Omaha postoffico
Friday night Us and included the
mail from all the eastern and southern
roads. Two Northwestern pouches
were received this morning , this be
a small fraction of that road's mail
some single run. The mail from
south and southeast was received
Sunday. This came by way of Sf.
Joseph i and Grand Island and included ed
St. Louis papers. The last mail to
leaving the Omaha offica for the east
dispatched on Saturday , but is
believed at the office to be still at the
transfer depot at Spoon Lake , the
Chicago roads having made no ar
rangements for the transfer of mails
either < direction , though they have
poked after baggage. A large quan-
of mail is now in the office for
lastern points , and this afternoon
effort will bo made to get it
hrongh on the east-bound trains. At fiff
teen to-day no mail to Lincoln and the
iclnitv had been received or sent
gOI
Friday. Western mails are all
, and the postmen are making
regular trips. age

passengers climbad the lofty piles of
baggage , and proceeded to the depot ,
but tha majority , including some thir
ty emigrants in the rear car , remained
patiently in their seati until the mat
ter was transferred.
THE TRANSFER HOTKL
was t till cold , cheerless and unlighted ,
the three pumps at work In the cellar
only keeping the water at stand
still and above the fire box * of the
boiler surface. The plaiforras on the
west side of the depot were found
transformed to docks , at which one
or two rude boats were waiting ,
while others could ba seen approach
ing in the distance. Ono boat owner
had utilized a floating piece of side
walk as an approach to his craft , but
had not removed from it an upright
post bearing a small sign , "This real
estate for sale as a whole or in lota , "
which was the subject of many jokes.
The ho'el register was well -nigh a
Want for two days and it was evident-
] y ,
NOT A PROSPEROUS SEASON.
The railroad ticket acent was at his
desk with overcoat and muiftor on.
From the hotel stretched away on
all sides the cheerless expanse of
water , and the usually busy railway
yards were silent bat for the occasion
al crack of some sportsman's gunwho
was popping away at one of the many
flocks of ducks and geeeo. Thu only
train which had reached thejtransfer
from the Bluffs had been a C , B. &
Q. engine and an empty box car which
came down at about 5 o'clock , pushing
along a couple of cars of coal which
had occupied the track , and which
' proved a needed supply for such
stoves as the bnlldintj contained. The
transfer was effected at about G:45 p.
m. and the train returned to Omaha.
The secretary of the Omaha Boird
of Trade , W. 0 B. Allen , Esq. , was
AN INCOMING PASSENGER
' on the Northwestern yesterday morn
ing and reached Omaha just botoro 5
o'clock list evening. The train reached
Missouri Valley on time , finding there
the train of the previous evening and
its passengers. A train was made up
and the fifty or sixty passengers from
both runs , were brought In to a point
two miles above Council Bluffj , wherd
there is a bad wash-out. Here the
passengers and their baggage were
loaded into wagons and taken by a
roundabout course to Council Bluffs ,
where many decided to remain , until
there should be better facilities for
reaching the U. ± * . transfer. Others ,
amocg whom were Mr. Allen , Mr.
Pruyn and Mr. Burr , of this city ,
the two latter with their families
determined to come on to Omaha , but
on attempting to procure boats foand
themselves at the mercy of
A LOT OF SHARKS ,
some of whom demanded $10 a pas
senger 8c , while others wanted $5. A
compromise was finally effected at a
ruinous figure to tbe unfortunate pas
sengers. They'were , however , moro
fortunate than some of their predeces
sors in the morning , who had been
forced to pay those figures. On the
way to the depot one boatman
halted and demanded § 1.50 advance
for each passenger on figures original
ly agreed upon. Another compromise
was effected. It is singular that the
Iowa roads have all allowed their pas
sengers to be turned over to such a
gang of avaricious rascals , instead of
themselves delivering them to the
transfer depot. Mr. Allen scouts at
the idea that the Missouri is cutting a
new channel beyond the transfer , and
says that while there is in seme places
a strong current , the water is every
where shallow and its volume small.
A TELEPHONE MESSAGE I
from the BlufTs last evening brought j
the information that there are seven
hundred or eight hundred passengers
on the oart side , destined to westward
points. All the hotels are overcrowd
ed and t.c.ommodation of any kind is
at a premium. About one thousand
persona are rendered homeless by the
flood. Many of thcso ars being en
tertained by friends in the Bluffs.
These who have no such refuge , in
cluding many "rood-choppers and
wood-haulers , are being cared for at
the court honaa and at Bloom & Nix
on's opera housn , tbe ladies of tbo
town furnishing provisions for them
and the city baaring all the expense.
The eastward bound trains on the
low.i roads loft Council Bluffs on time
last evening , but so far as cjuld bo
learned with no passengers from this
side.
THK FREIGHT BLOCKADE
is j an Important loaturo of tbe flood.
There are 550 loaded cars in the
Union Pacific yards at Council Bluffs ,
a few of which are for Omaha , but
the greater part for points west. The
floors of these cars are well above the
water and none of their contents in
jured as yet. 'Connection with the
main track is severed , the company
having bant all its energies
te keeping the passenger
track open. Many of the
tracks in the freight yardo are washed
away. From Omaha to Grand Island ,
on the main line , all freight trains
have been side tracked until the situ
ation changes. There are 100 cars
thus delayed at Grand Island and
many at points east. Doubtless there
are upwards cf a thousand cars delay
ed in a similar manner on the Iowa
roads or in their Council Blnffi yards.
Seventy thousand ties , piled in the U.
P/y rd , are for the most part afloat ,
but are hold by strong booms.
OMAHA HOTELS FULL ,
Inquiry at the various hotels elicit
the information that'thoy were able
accommodate the travelers who are
stopping on this side , by utilizing
some extra quarters.

City Attorney Manderson was called
upon by President Boyd to give his
opinion as to the time of expiration of
the old council , and said :
"The charter of 1873 provided that
conncllmen should commence their of
fice on the first Monday succeeding
their election , and hold for two years.
No provision was made in this charter
that t such conclusion should hold until
their successors were qualified. Two
years ago a very grave question was
presented as to whim the terms of the
old and new council ended and bo an.
Under the old charter it was possible
to have two council * existing in one
day. The newly elected council
might nish to take its office , and the
old snes might wish to hang on. So ,
at Lincoln , last , year , this cdan o was
made in the law , which provides .is
follows : 'All councilman's terms of
office shall commence the Tuesday
next Biiccding the day of election ,
upon which day they shall reassemble
together and organiaa the city coun
cil' ; and , 'a meeting of the city coun
cil shall be held the first Monday attar
each annual city o'cctlon. ' "
Councilman IStephcneon then arose
and said : "When I took an oath to
support the city of Omaha and its
people , it was for two years and the
two years are not up. I went in on
Tuesday. Every member of the pres
ent council did the same. Six member -
bor of this council are cut off from
one year of service by the legislature ,
and au other six are deprived of twen
ty-four hours' service. "
Councilman Bailey moved the fol
lowing vote of thanks : * BUha
RESOLVED , That a vote of thanks haps
be , and is hereby tendered our retiring ps
president , for the honest , able and
impartial manner in which ho pre ul
sided over the deliberation B of this
body for the past year.
It was carried by an unanimous and pr
rising vote. prqo
A motion was made by Councilman ell
Daily that Ihe council tender the city fa'
clerk a vote of thanks for the able and
efficient manner in which ho haa per yo
formed his duties daring the last year. In
Carried unanimously. ry
The gournal was read and approved.
After a brief discussion as to the
propriety of recording the-vote of
Councilman Stephenson on the vote
if thanks to President Boyd ( the coun
cilman having remained sitting at the
time ) , and au explanation by Coun
cilman Stephenson , that ho did not wi
know tko nature of the vote , the pres Th
ident declared the council adjourned
