Again a Mighty , Moving , Eesist- less Sea- Within a Cubit of its Highest Point. * Inflicting Grat Damage , Delay and Desolation. "She's almost there , " was the an swer that c&me to the ears of the mud stained inquirer as he pauasd before the little shanty from which , In the darkness of midnight , gleamed forth a crack of light , and where two faith ful watchers in huge tarpaulins were posted to note the progress of the flood that was creeping , inch by inch , up to their doorslll , and threatening all within its mon&ter reach. 0abide on a heavy tie waa a notch , which showed where the water had lapped when at its former highest point. A glance sufficed to show that "she was almost there. " The length of the hand was scares required to measure iha intervening space. Again the vast waters had broken loose , and seemed about to sweep everything before them. The river at 1 o'clock yesterday had reached the height of 19 feet and 7 inches above low water mark , showing a rise of one foot six : inches since yes terday at the same huur. The water has again invaded the lumber yards and has rushed in be' hind the Chicago company's proper ty. This was anticipated Tuesday and a large forca of men with teams were set at work in the afternoon building a coffer dam , about four hun dred feet In length. This dam is doubly boarded on the north side. Yesterday seventy-five men and fifty teams were industriously at work , having all they could do to check the constantly rising water. If it comes up six inches more the dare will hard ly to able tobear tbo Immense prcssnn brought against it. THE UNION rACIFIC SHOPS are again visited by the muddy tide. . In the brick shop there Is about six Inches of water , and the Leary she has about as much , or more , on it floors. Nearly a hundred men WOP forced to suspend work , but all wen given employment at unloading tw sand trains which were run upon th main ( rack and their contents usei for ballasting that embankment am forming a dam to tha water that i nearly up to & level with the ties , Around the TOOK SMELTING VCEKS , which are a second time subjected .an involuntary bath , the water rubhe : In a strong current , and may tak away such portions of the fences an outbuildings as the last inundation spared. The flals are once more on of sight and , as far as can be deter1" from this eido of the river , the waie commencing"1 to ponr through Spoon lake. If the rise continues another inundation of the track i feared. As it Is , the Chicago & Northwestern and the B. & M. tracks 'able to get out on"lbcao roads this morning. STILL COMING UP. At four o'clock in , the afternoon throe inches had boon added to the vast body of water that wai gradual ! ] nearlng the tops ef all barriers. The sand embankment which waa BO care folly raised in front of the invading flood was still [ n its , place , but the water , had worn a hole beneath the ties , and wiih a sudden rush took away a long line of newly piled up earth. Nothing could then atop its progress , and while the workmen flee for safety the pent up flood poured over the main track in a hundred places. By six o'clock the track waa SEAKLV WASHED AWAY between the chops and the smelting works , and in two hours more the ior.f line of ties and rails between the shops and elevator WES "off its base , ' with portions of it entirely borne of the embankment. Nothing now im peded the progress of the flood. II came against the coffer-dam which the Chicago Lumber company had con structed with much care and expense , with a spiteful "swish , swash , " and that coffer-dam was no more. In ten minutes all of the yards below were being rapidly filled to the mean height of the strcamandboforo an other hour lud passed , Douglas and Farnham streets were covered by the muddy sheet. THE SHOPS VACATED. By 5 o'clock the water was up so high in the U. P. shops that it was impossible to continue work , and the machinery was all stopped. At eight o'clock there was two feet ot water in some places , while ell the floors were more or lees flooded. Through the tmolting works a stream six feet in depth whirled its way , so that no part of the works was accessible. All of the outbuildings ol both the shops and smelting works were deeply submerg ed , and the families in the few houses that had not already been vacated , precipitately took their flight. SAVING PROPERTY. The only immediate damage feared waa to the rolling stock in the U. P. vards , and the lots of the lumber. During the afternoon aaveral engines were bnay pulling loaded and empty cars to higher ground , while all of the umber companies wera preparing to save their property. The Chicago company's coffer-dam proved of little ralue , but below that yard Foster & array tnd George Hoigland were busy until late at night strengthening their booms. Around all there is now a ioublo boom , and in addition an inch &nd a half cable rope connecting a chain of heavy timbers , aud if these will not hold , nothing would. Both the latter named firms announca their j-ards better prepared to stand a raise than ever before. THE WORST Jf OT YET. List night the following dispatches were received from Sioux City and STankton. Sioux CITT , April 20-At 8 o'clock the rater Lad risen afoot at tlfs point and is low rising at the rate of an inch an hour. YANKTOX , April 20-At 7 o'clock this svening the water is steadily rising at the ateof _ three-fourth * of an inch an hour , md IB considerable higher than it was this noriimg. WHAT DOES IT MEAN. What this news means for the river it this point it is not difficult to foretelL - telL It undoubtedly presages a bigger : lood In quantity of water than the one which has so recently partially subsided. Mr. Brown , an old lum berman , and a member of the firm of Heriey , Bean & Brown , of Stillwater , who came to this oily on Saturday last from Sioux City , Utes that the mow " atill lies , on the level , In many places above that city three feet deep , nd at there are drifts twenty feet in depth , which the sun's rays have nol reached. He thinks that the worst has by no means come. THE LATEST news obtainable from Council Bluffs last night waa to the effect that the water wai running over all of the hot torn lands and the tracks were flooded The people living In houses on the low lands had generally vacated. Water was in places up to the ties o the main Union Pacific track andwil probably ba over It by morning. AT FOUR O'CLOCK this morning the water had risen to twenty-one feet and four Inches , 01 within five inches of tha highest re corded rise in the recent inundation ' Grand Jewelry Opening at Edholm & EricksonV , April 2Cth and 27tb. At Crnicl-shank's grand opening there waa nothing attracted more at tention than their splendid display o GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS.

THE KIVEK QUESTION , A Member of The Chalk Club Unmasks Himself. To the Editor of I he Bee : I BOO tht.t our jolty old "awamp angel , " A. D. Jones , loads hlmtelf to themnzzlewlth hla little tripod , Y level transit and rod , and discharges the en tire load into my person. This is very unkind , as I had merely been firing paper wads manufactured by the eel entifio president of the "Chalk Olub. ' Our excellent old land surveyor , who seems never to have put to practice use the axiom "that a straight line IB the shortest dlatanco between two points , " now lays claim to some knowl edge of civil engineering , but I assure him that this , his latest assumption , would bo resented not only by uvcry civil engineer but by all self-respect- Ing chain met. However , before ] measure swords with him on engineer ing I deaire to say a few words in re gard to the Introductory of his lumin ous article. He intimates that I am withself . ' gifted with -appreciated oratory. If so , it would merely show that I hac at least one admirer of my polemics , n distinction not enjoyed , I regret to say , by our urbane fellow-citizen , A. D. J. If I have ever succeeded In choking him off at any public meeting It waa bocauao he wasn't there , for upon all occasions , and under all cir cumstances , , our distinguished antl quarlau has made the air sulphurous with his dismal wailinga , which he dignifies by the title of "Remlnis ounces of an old settlor. " But tore turn to the scientific portion of this disu8aion. It seems that tbJa elo quent old tropho scalper thinks that ' . imagined I WAS enunciating some fun damental truths in my recent article on floods , etc. I beg him to believe that if by accident I told the truth i was foreign to my intentions. My pur pose wf i to aveid the truth as much a possible , as I was ambitious to outdo my ancient friend in that respect. ] really did not know but what the Mia souri river bed was seventeen feel higher than it was in Ib50 , neither di < I care , because I waa merely handling the weapons of the "old settler , " who always paralyzes the "tender-foot' with the musty records of by-gono days. For instance , if a now comer has the temerity to tsaert that he own a faithful hen who lays two eggs per day under favorable circumstances , A. D. J. immediately proceeds to wallop the life out of the transaction by claiming to have owned a common unostentatious rooster in 1854 tha laid four eggs per day in midwinter or if the above mentioned n. c should with pride assert that his v , ifi had twins , old A. D. J. would waltz into the ring and hammer the breath out of it by claiming that he had him self been the mother of triplets in 1854. It ii becauao of such mendicity that the new cjmer has raised the standard of revolt and will hereafter assert hia rights and strive to muu- tain them. To this end the "Cbalk Olub" recently held an iadiu \ meeting and determined to reorganize on a firmer bails. None but first- the club and any member who dares to speak the truth will ba instantly and ignominionaly expelled. All orders for mntderiug truth will bo promptly attended to , and wo shall shortly bo prepared to pound the supreme stuff ing out of your little narratives of former days , Mr. Jones. 0. V. GALLAGHER. A TEMPLE OF TEG PAST , The Sacrament Its High Priest Gives a "Bee" Keporter. Hearing arhmor thatthe Academy of music was to undergo numerous re pairs this summer , and bo continued aa an amusement hall for-Omaha , a BEE reporter called on Jadga Rodlck yeaterday for the facts : "Yea , " said the iadgo , "the Acade my will continue to run , and will be Sited up In A No. 1 shape this sum mer , putting in new scenery through out , and making it a model little tho- atre. We think that an academy of music in Omaha that will seat 800 to LOOO people is large enough for this city for the next ten years. We are glad Mr. Boyd is building bin opera louse , for there will bo occasbnslly iroupes passing through here of very ilgh character that might call out a arger patronage than our academy will accommodate , and in that event Jr. Boyd'a opera house would be very handy , but we think ours the ilaco for general purposes , and that it will be more go no rally used after Joyd's Is finished than now. jt"In my judgment Boyd'a opera loueo bears about the came relation o ours that the Grand Central hotel Id to the Metropolitan , but the Met- opolitan made the most money all he same. To induce men to take the Jrand Central hotel an enormous , big , grand hotel and run the experi ment of making money , the proprie- ors were obliged to give them the whole hotel structure for $2000 per ear , and the landlord then contend- d that ho waa having a hard time f It. It."I "I have been offered $15,000 for my half of the Academy , bat refused o sell on the account that Boyd'a pera house will increase its value in ) uainess. Wo have already had many ppllc&tions to rent it for the next year. " "Good day , Mr. Redick , " said the eporter. WASTED Good Store , centrally ocated. Address "T. R. " , Bee office. apr20-tf A Eotel Rumor. The rumor of the proposed erec- ion of a now and magnificent hotel on Douglas street , which was pub- [ shod in yesterday's Republican , of this city , is at the beat premature. As yet no articles of corporation lave been drawn , nor has a site for ho proposed structure been - determined mined upon. The gentlemen inter- . stod in the matter at a late hour this I afternoon stated that they were doubt ful as to the success of the enterprise , and deprecated the publication of a rumor which had no foundation ex cept in talk , and which would lead the citizens of Omaha to expectations not probable to be realized. COMMENCING' BEFORM. The New Marshal Starts Out Promisingly. ' Marshal Angell called the roll of the night watch last.night at precisely 7 o'clock , and every officer responded , "present. " The marshal then In structed them to carefully guard their beats , according to their previous orders. In addition he said : "Thero Is one other thing I wiih you to do. Notify each ealoon keeper on your beats that his saloon must bo closed aad lights out at 12 o'clock each night , and that his front door must be closed and locked on Sundays. I wish you to enforce this order and report immediately to mo the name of any parson refusing to obey It. " The now marshal starts out well , except iu what may have been and probably wai , an unintended error ol speech in his direction in relation to closing and locking the front door * of the saloons on Sundays. He should have s&id their doors , and thereby con : veyed the assurance that the saloons were to bo prohibited from selling or giving away liquor on Sunday. It late to be hoped that that was what he meant. There is an old saying "A new broom swjepp clean. " All gooc citizens have a right to expect that the marshal's broom shall remain now. SHOBTENING UP TIME , Bumored Changes That Will Make 'Frisco Nearer. It is reported in railroad circles tha the trains on the Central Pacific rail road , running from 'Frisco to Ogden are to bo pushed through on faster time. The train which now leaves San Frarcico in the forenoon will no start , according to the report , until 3 p. m. , and yet vrill arrive at Ogdon. an hour earlier than usual. This nil enable the Union Paclfi : train , ar riving here at 3:25 : p. m. , to start an htur earlier , which advantage , it i reported , is to bo increased by accelerated eratod running , so that it would ar rive in Omaha abont 10 o'clock in the forenoon , making an entire gain e nine hoars. How this arrangement if made at all , would affect the east ern trains it ii impossible to say , bu it would certainly be an advantage to both overland and local travel. OLOS1NG THEIR WOEK , The Belief Committee Make Their Last Canvas. The relief committee concluded their third day's work yesterday after noon , and obtained nearly three hun dred and fifty dollars additional sub scriptions. It wci decided by the committee that they wonid con elude their soliciting with this , but [ ntrBUDscrijmuii papur win DO leis at the office of Mayor Boyd on Thir teenth street for the convenience of any who may not have been visited by the committee acd who wish to sub scribe. A meeting of the committee will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock , when provision will be made for the transportation of supplies and the ends to which the money shall bo used determined upon.
