Brie ! details roach ua of a conditlot
of sffiins on the U. P. railroad in thi
neighborhood of North Bend , whict
la most alarming , having already
destroyed thousands of dollars wortl
of railroad property and caused groa
loss to hundreds of Individuals , trhlh
still greater losses are threatened
An ice gorge has been forming in thi
Platte river at that point for severs
days and yesterday afternoon at '
o'clock reached a point where it sud
denly rose above the banks and swep
over the prairie in the direction o :
North Platte in a devastating flood
A mile and a half of U. P. track wai
swept away at once. General Sap r
intendent Clark and Engineer Lam
were at North Bend , where Mr. Clarl
has been superintending the build in j
of the new track and watching thi
river. These gentlemen returned t <
Omaha this morning , and Mr. Clarl
informed a BEE reporter that the 17 ,
P. track was covered with water foi
miles , that the streets of North Bone
were flooded several feet deep , anc
that many of the people slept las
eight on the depot platform. Mr
Clark remarked with grim humor tha' '
if the company "wanted to ga intc
the ice business they could now fil
their station building at North Bern
from the platform. "
THE TEA1K8.
The west bound express , which lef i
here yeiterday expected to go throngl
over the U. P. line , by the new tern
porary track west of Fremont , bnt on
reaching that town was hold to nw&il
the threatened Inundation at Nortt
JBand , and finally returned to Omaha
last evening. The east bound express
came through all right , reaching here
on time. The west bound express was
held here until" this morning when it
was sent weet by way of Council
Bluffs , Pacific Junction and Platta-
mouth.
THE-WHTAKD WHEEEFOEE.
The cause of this change of route
is the temporary.abandonment by the
B. &TJL Co. of their bridge over the
Platte at Oreapolis. It Is believed
that this bridge will not go , but in the
present condition of things and with
the threatened rise when the gorges
break above it is not considered safe
to run the risk. The ice WAS passing
through rapidly this morning , a party
of werkingmen balne engaged In pro
tecting the piers. Meanwhile all IB.
& M. and U. P. trains , both freight
and passenger , will run for the present
by way of "the U. P. . the "Kansas City
road , and the B. & "M. bridge at
Plattemouth.
SITUATION AT 2:30 P. M.
Generall Manager KimbaU and Sa-
potlntendentm Clark and Nichols were
absorbed in the labor incident to the
situation when a BEE reporter called
at2:30p.m. It was plain that the
news from the threatened country was
not of a cheerful character. It wai
Jearned that the water had been slow
ly rising during the forenoon and
that the only moans of communication
Hi North Bond was byaieans of boats.
The receipt of a telegram announcing
that the water had fallen an inch fir-
nitbed bnt a small crumb of comfort.
A telegram was received during the
forenoon announcing that the Loup
bridge on the Norfolk had gone but ,
but u it waa also learned that
the whole valley of the Loop was
flooded , and that the parties by whom
the report waa made were unable to
reach the bridge , it wci hoped at the
railroad headquarters that the report
may be a f alee one. The ice IB pourIng -
Ing out of the Loupe in a devastating
mass , and it is generally believed by
those familiorwith the character of
the Loupe valley that unless the people
ple of the region took measures some
lays in advance there must inevitably
bs immense loss of property and
probable loss of life.
One telegram announced that n
family at one point not learned were
on the eve of perishing in the waters
when a locomotive and parry were
sent to their relief and took them out.
TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION SEVEKED.
The Union Pacific had at 2:30 p. m.
no telegraphic communication beyond
jolnmbus , the Ice having swept acrots
.he country between Columbus and
Duncan , cutting off fifty telegraph
x > les &s if they were pips stems. Ef-
'orts are beinc made to arrange with
; he Western Union and reach pointe
west of the gorge by way of Kearney.
The situation is clearly one of great
> eril to the people of tie Inundated
region. The entire country ij under
water from Fremont to a point beyond
SorthBend , and a heavy rise is re-
jorted coming down from the Loupe ,
irith a vast body of ice.
Thewilroao" company has been un
able as jet to do anything except to
remove its exposed property as far as
possible. It is u able to roach the
jorge or do anything to open it at
present.
Tko country where this has occurred
a a broad prairie , and it was believed
last night that the flood at North
Bend was the result of the giving way
of a gorge above , * nd that
when the flood was over the
water would fall rapidly. The
fact that the water baa con
tinued rhinz would indicate that the
Ice Jias again gorged. An are * of
many rquare miles is covered 'with
water , and it is most difficult to lei-rn
it what point t commence operations ,
If indeed , anything is practicable.
The point of most serious danger
nn the Loupe is between Genoa and
Lost Creek.
The Situation Saturday Nieht.
On Saturday evening the situation ,
as recorded in telegrams received at
U. P. headquarters , from time to time ,
waa as follows : The rumor that the
Loup ftrk bridge of the Omaha , Nio-
brara & Black Hills branch , was car
ried away , wai confirmed to the ox-
teat that it Is known that part of the
bridge is gone. It was also learned
that the Loup fork bridge of the Grand
Island & St. Paul road had been car
ried away. Four spans of the bridge
were thrown upon the bank , while
two floated down the river. Wagon
bridges were also reported gcnerallj
washed away. The gorges iu the
Loup had broken and were swelling
the flood In the main stream , which
at some points was reported as rising
ten feet in an hour and a half. While
the details with regard to the effect !
of this rise were meagre , it k evident
that buildings , hay stacks , fences ,
farming machinery and vast qnantl
ties of live stock have been swept
away , , and there is no question that
many lives have been lost , how manj
cm only be learned when the watei
goes down. The situation at Benton ,
a new station between Columbus anc
SchuyJer , was terrible. Here , withii
a few hours , there was ten feet o :
water , where not a drop had beenseei
in the morning. About ten famillei
residing on low ground were caught
by the rise and had no time to read
higher ground. The water came u [
so rapidly that they were driven tc
the roofs of their dwellings , There
they could be plainly seen before darl
from the town. The only boat in the
village was a small and unsafe one ;
which conld not stand for a momeni
the surging maelstrom of ice and
water. A relief party was organized ,
which could do nothing bnt take
positions at tha edge of the water and
wait for it to falL Parts of houses ,
bridges , barns , hay stacks , and the
dead bodies of numberless stock wen
sonn to drift by. One family was re
ported drowned. All the stock in thi
locality was said to be lost. At thi
last report , received ia the evening
the water had fallen two feet
At Columbus six spans of the hand
some if agon bridge across the Louj
were washed away. This bridgi
was constructed five ytars agi
at a cost of $50,000. It was a- How
truss with 150 feet spans. Thro
spans of the pile bridge which form
the approach to the fine iron railroac
bridge over the Loup , had gone out
the track between the approach am
the iron bridge being washed away ti
a depth of about three feet , while tie
and iron were tumbled into the ditcl
on the south side. Three-quarters o
a mile of track west of the bridge wa
destroyed. Several families living 01
the Platte bottoms east of the towi
were surrounded , and at last report
in danger of losing their lives. Thre
small children were reported lost 01
the west side of the Loup.
At North Bend part of the DO ;
$16,000 wagon bridge was carriei
away , and the railroad track washei
out for over a mile. In the evening ;
dispatch was received from the opera
tor at North Bend , announcing tha
an immense body of water from th
Loup river was reported to be at hand
and people were preparing to leavi
town if necessary. At 9:30 p. m. i
dispatch was received announcing tha
the high water had reached the town
and was rising fast , while people 01
every side were endeavoring to sav
their stock and property from th
flood. At this juncture the wire
went down , and what has trauspirei
since is only a matter of conjecture
The wave reached Schuyler betwoei
9 and 10 o'clock , and the town sooi
became flooded , and citizens proceedei
to load themselves and their goods si
far ci possible , and a train at the sta
tion , which was in readiness to movi
when necessary. An engine and caboose
booso were sent to Rogers' side tracl
to rescue two families. At this tlmi
the flood severed the telegraphic com
munication with Schnyler , and noth
Ing has been learned from there since
At Fremont the citizens had erectec
a dam to protect the most exposec
portion of the town , bnt this wei
washed away in the evening by th <
water , and the town flooded. Heavj
loss was anticipated , but no danger tc
life.
life.Another
Another heavy gorge was repcrtec
as having broken at Genoa , on the Al
blon branch of the Union Pacific , lasl
night , and another flood on its waj
down the Lonp and Platte.
Information came from Lincoln , ir
a dispatch to The Herald of yesterday ,
that Salt creek had been rising stead
ily for twenty-four hours , until it had
spread over the bottom west of th
side tracks fcr half a mile and foi
three blocks into the city. The de
pots were surrounded with water , the
houses on the bottoms vacated and
loose articles floating about. The
only way of reaching the depot wasbj
a small elevated food bridge , which
was threatened with being washed
away last night. The tracks over the
bottom were submerged , and railroad
ties , telegraph poles and wood and
empty barrels floating abrut. Boat :
were carrying passengers to and from
the depot. No trains had been run
to or from Central City or Colum
bus. The traiu from .Nebraska CItj
went off the track near the prison
switch at 9 o'clock in the evening , no
body bzing hurt. The train was aban
doned , and the pr sengeiswalked intc
Lincoln through two feet of water.
State of Afifelrs on Yesterday.
. Telegraphic communication west oi
Fremont remained broken all day yes
terday. The Platte flood had swept
along eastward , submerging and possi
bly washing out part of the U. P.
track. The Fremont U. P. exprese
train , which has taken the place of the
through express during the interrup
tion in travel , only went to Vallny
yesterday and returned in the after
noon. It wan evident on the return
trip that it would not be safe for an
other train to run beyond Elkhoin ,
for the entire Platte Yalley , several
miles in width at thi : point , was one
broad sheet of water.
General Superintendent Clark Icfi
for Elkhorn in a special train yester
day morning , accompanied by a gang
of telegraph repairers. It was Mr.
Clark's intention to leave his train al
Elkhotn , and proceed west to Yallej
on a hand car , and from Valley west
In whatever manner should prove
practicable. " The telegraph men were
to establish connection in whatevei
way should prove most jractieable
with the towns in the flooded region.
If the vter still keeps up , a line wll ]
be run .on the higher ground where-
ever it can be dona most rapidly.
Mr. Clark will direct the operations ol
a force of fifty mea bridge builders ,
repairers , etc. wTioTeftNorth Platte

The Force will be increased to seven'

of operations , and is fully equippec
with bridge material.
A prominent railroad official stated
yesterday that it would be but a fen
days , after tha freshet was over , be
fore the Union Parlfic would be run
ning trains. A force will be set at
work which , It is believed , will com
plate the work within a week aFiei

People who came in last night frou
Valley stated that many fanners nnr
their families had succeeded in rech
ing Valley , but in an utterly dettituU
condition , aud mtny having bareij
escaped with their lives. Many fate
ilies are missing who would natural
have started for Valley , and it Is be
liered they are drowned.
Reports from Columbus and Den
can received yesterday afternron , via
Kansas City , stated that the watei
had gona down at Hhoso points ant
the danger was considered past.
OK THE B. AND IT.
Too destruction of the B. & M
bridge over Salt week at Lincoln hap
peued just in time to leave the wea
bound Union Pacific eipress of Sat
nrday and the oit bound expre's c
o-dsy on opposite * banks of the stream
tach on the wrong bank to complcti
cs trip. A large force of men wen
itt at work to replace it yesterday.anc
seis expected that it will be complete !
it is morning.
thSeveral bents of the B. & M. bridg
across the Platta at Oroopolis went
out yesterday morning and it will be
some days , under the most favorable
circumstances , before travel is re
sumed in that direction. General
Manager Touzalin informed , a BEE
reporter yesterday , however , that the
remainder of the track was in perfect
condition , that it was considered se
cure against the approaching flood
from above and that passenger and
freight trains would run regularly , goIng -
Ing by way of Plattsmouth. It was
reported yesterday morning that the
B. & M. tracks were threatened and
the U. P. contemplated running the
overland train by way ot St.
Joseph and the St Joe & Western
railroad or Kansas City , the Kansas
Pacific and one of the Northern Col
orado roads. Mr. Tonzalin's state
ment shows that the B. & M. track is
all right. The west bound U. P ex <
press of yesterday had not left at a
late hour last night.
THE LATEST.
At 10 o'clock last evening the Un
ion Pacific line repairers from the
west had established communication
between Omaha and Columbna.Sohny-
ler , BoRton and North Band bj
way of Kearney. The water was re
ported as about out at all theae towns ,
and no further information was given
aa to the probable loss of life , or the
extent of the damage. Superintend
ent Clark and hisparty reached Vallej
on hand can , and proceeded from
that point to Fremont in a wagon. He
telegraphed last evening that the
Platte had receded from Fremont.
The B. & M. had information at the
same hour that Salt creek waa still
raging , but that no serious reaultt
were probable. No buildings in Lin
coln had been damaged , and the B. < S
M. track was all right. The Platte
was reported very high , but the tracl
all right. Twenty-seven hundred feel
of the embankment on their Colum
bus branch , near Colnmbua , where the
country is very low , was waahee
away.

Accident to arostman.
Mr. James Jablecnik , the postman ,
who was thrown from his horse about
a year ago and survived a partial dis
location of the neck , met with another
severe accident Saturday , the
horse falling on the Ice with
him , and starting off at a rapid
pico before he conld extricate his
foot from the stirrup. Ho waa not
badly injured , but hurt his ankle and
was unable to walk. It is probably a
severe sprain.
