quarters ,
The flood was slowly falling here
yesterday and last night , and all
Information from np the river proves
that for the present it will continue to
do so. Tbe following is a fall outline
of the condition of affairs , up to a late
heur in the night :
COUNCIL BLUFFS IKCNDAT2D.
The reports that reached this side
of the river on Saturday of the disas
ter and inconvenience caused bythe
ming waters at Council Bluffs were
not exaggerated in the least , as inves
tigation yesterday proved. The track
of the Union Pacific railroad trom the
point where the switches branch off
was flooded nearly to the platform of
the transfer depot. Flat cars were
run out over a portion of this distance
and connected by plank * , across which
somewhat perilous bridgicg the over
land passengers were obliged to walk
as beat they could , picking their way
among the line of improvised porters
employed in carrying the baggage and
mails. The water rushed over the
rails with a terrific speed , and nearly
reached the top of the flat car wheels.
Spoon L&keas , has before been stated ,
was the chosen chinnel through which
the main body of water ran , and at
the point where the current was
strongest it was necessary to freight
down the flat cars standing on the sub
merged bridge , as well as that struc
ture itself , with hundreds of tons of
iron and rails.
IK THB.TaAKBFSB DEPOT
and hotel things Lad s generally dis
mal look. The water had pat ont tbe
fires under the boilers of the latter ,
and the building could not be heated.
In the storeroom and cellar mud and
water stood waist deep , with any
quantity waiting outside to come in. A
email donkey pump was set ia motion ,
but was ineffectual to do more than
hold its own. The clerk of the hotel
stated that he had been obliged to con
struct rafts to get his help from the lit
tle island across Spoon Lake in the
morning , and all the horses had to be
taken ont of the barn to higher
ground. From the rear stoop of the
hotel the scene was as strange as the
condition ot affairs was deplorable.
For nearly a mile the
WATE2 COVEEED THE 1BACKS
and surrounded the houses and other
buildings. The Drovers hotel was
supplied with about two feet of the
muddy liquid on its ground floor , and
its occupants were unable to leave it
or return except in skiffs. Some thir
ty or forty dwellings were in the same
ir- , while at a little distance the chief
'onutain head off all Council Bluffs'
llnminatio' , the gas house , was deep
n the water , and disabled to such an
ixtent that illuminating gas the
Bluffers had none. Friday night was
one of great excitement. Toe rumor
that the Big Muddy was shifting its
channel seemed to hare some founda
tion from the rush of water over tbe
prairies and the violent commotion
, hroogh Spoon Lake , and all the in-
labltauts ' of the Bluff * were seriously
alarmed.
FIBE BILLS 'WEEK BUXO ,
enginzs whistled , and fish horns were
alown , until a great number citizens
wera gathered from their beds to
watch the rising flood , and assist In
taking ont the half drowned and terri
fied lumatec of the houses on the
bottom land , and removing tha horses
thatr were stamping , neighing and
snorting with fright at the strange
midnight visitor Tvhich had come
creeping into their stabler , while the
screams of women and children added
to the general alarm.
At lastjjhowever , all were rescued ,
the stock removed to safer quarters ,
and the customary somnolent tran
quillity of the town returned.
LOOEIXa JlOEOSS THE WATER
rom the transfer depot toward the
Nebraska aide , the sight was indeed
a grand one. The river seemed a vast
nland sea that had sprung into ex *
stence in.a night Only a little dis
tance from the shore were thousands
and thousand of black objects floating
about on the waves , now and then
showing white and glittering in the
ran. They were ducks , fairly revel
ing in the muddy waters presented to
them in their northward flight. Tha
un , when setting , cast Its rays across
he water transforming it into a wavy ,
himmering sea of silver , making the
cene one of inexpressible beauty.
DKOWJfZD OUT STOCK YABDS.
All of the stock yards south of the
31ufis were under three or four feet
of water , the tops of the fence poata
ust showing. The great barns
eemed about ready to fioit away ,
> ut as the current passes to the west
of them they will probibly remain
mdstured. None of the cattle or
lorses nere lost in removing from
hese barns , although many were
aken ont In water up to tneir
launches.
SAVING THE LYUSIBEB
The proprietors of the different
umber yards were busy all day yes
erday with gangs of men preparing
or _ emergencies. Mr. Cady , of the
3nictgj lumber company , was seen ,
andaaid : "Wehavehadabontseventy-
ive men at work all dav long , picking
foam up as fast as wn could , removing
he lumber and hauling it by the aid
of fifteen teams to higher ground. If
the water dr.esn't change by to-mar-
row , we will pat on twenty fire teams ,
and get out all of the matched and
) laned lumber. We understand that
hire is a rise above here , but th re is
nothing authentic about it. Our first
nformation cams from the U. P. de
pot across the river , that there was
nine feet of water at Sioux City. That
would be as much as five feet berebut
t can't reach here much before to
morrow ( Monday ) night. In any
event , we propose to be ready for any
rise , because we will get onr lumber
mt of the way by taking it up on the
all opposite the Union Pacific cen
tral office. "
OKTTIKO KEADT FOB. A RISE.
Mr. Hoagland was found working
with a gang of men at the apex of an
angle in his boom , and in response to
an Inquiry said : "As the piles lift and
.he lumber fajlidown we will catch it ,
f our boom will hold and haul it
away. We shall know better tomorrow
row , when it is certain whether the
rue said to be coming from bove is a
"n v7 X exPect thal the be way
will b to put on a large enough force
to haul the whole thing out. We
have a raft built up there by the aheds
and wewill load the lumber on it and
take it ont on this track as fast as we
can. We know nothing reliable , but
were told a while ago that Mr. Paxton
has received a dispatch that a large
body of water had congregated at
Sioux Olty. I expect that the whole
thing Is a rumor , bat we Intend to
get out our lumber in such a ahape
that it will be ready for any emergen
cy. If our booms hold we shall lose
comparatively little. We have con
siderable lumber on the road which
has been blocked by snow , and in anj
event we shall be able to supply al
demands. At present (6 ( o'clock ) thi
booms around onr lumber are al
right. "
SOT rBIOHTENED.
Messrs. Foster and Gray did no
have a very large force at work , anc
were not apparently ea anxious as the
others concerning the rumors of a big
rite up the river. "We shall double
boom our lumber , " said Mr. Gray ,
"and if that will not held it nothing
will I don't think that there will be
any more trouble. "
THE SCARE EXPLODED.
Late yesterday afternoon the fin' '
definite and authentic news from
Sioux City was received from G. W.
Naile , chief operator at Sioux Oily , in
answer to one from Mr. L. M. Rheem ,
of this city. The following are the
telegramsand will explain themselves ,
as well aa explode the scare caused by
the rumors current yesterday , that a
nine feet rise was coming down at ten
miles an hour from Sioux City , and
would doubtless clear everything in
its course :

eight feet in channels. Gorge below
Yaakton is reported to still hold. The
water is falling above there. NAILE.
AN OFISION.
Several gentlemen who are posted
in the peculiarities of the Missouri ,
among them P. E. Iler , of the Wil
low Springs distillery , expressed as
their opinion that the gorge at Yank-
ton would amount to nothing , as the
water falling above andbelow it would
effectually relieve all pressure and
aver : all danger to property herea
bouts.
THE SMELTING WORKS
are still deeply submerged. Mr. E.
W. 'Nash , aenior'membsr of the smeltIng -
Ing works firm , str.ted last evening
that the entire direct damage would
not amount to more than $2000. This ,
said he , includes the two buildings
moved from their foundations , which
were tha foundry and a smaller build
ing above. Both were composed ol
wood. The foundry went to pieces
Friday night and floated down the
river. The other building was moved
about fifty feet and landed all right.
"Of course , " said Mr. Nash , "it is
impossible to determine the exact in
direct damage from stoppage of the
works and the trouble with the fur *
naces At the present time our chim-
nies are all right , and will doubtless
remain so , as they have borne a much
greater pressure than will probably be
brought to bear. "
Saturday's Klooa.
From Saturday Evening's Bee.
At oue o'clock this morning the
water was rising gradually in the
river and pouring into the basins sur
rounding the lumber and ooal yards
in overwhelming streams. The main
current of the river seemed tn diverge
somenhat off its coursb'of the day be
fore and to bear away tc ardthe east
shore. This w&a indicated by the ac
tion of the ice , which had heretofore
pressed with dangerous force against
the smelting works and government
rip rap. The proprietors of the various
lumber yards , the Chicago , Foster ,
Gray and Hoagland , wore on hand all
night with gangs of men , endeavoring
to construct booms aronnd their yards
and thereby eave some 3250,000 worth
of lumber , a'ored in piles and under
the sheds.
NARROW ESCAPES.
About two o'clock two accidents oc
curred , which nearly resulted in the
Iocs of two more lives. Mr. H. F.
Cady , of Nebraska City , a partner of
Mr. F. Colpeteer in the Chicago Inm
her company , arrived at Omaha yes
terday in answer to a telegram that
their property was in danger. Abont
two o'clock this morning ha was walk
ing on b planking near the upper part
of the yard , when he stepped off in
to tome ten feet of water. The cur
rent was very swift and quickly drew
him under the planking. In a con
vulsive movement he grasped the end
of a board , and finally , by superhu
man exertions , succeeded in getting
out. Morris Spellman , of Omaha
, working for Hoagland , fell in the wa
ter where it was qnite deep , and
would undoubtedly have been
drowned had It not been that his com.
pinions rendered him speedy assist ,
auce.
AT six O'CLOCK
thU morning , the gauge showed an
additional rise of nine inches above
the measurement taken at twelve
o'clo8kf making the total height above
low water mark nearly twenty-three
feet. By this time all of the lumber
yards were filling rapidly ; the car
shops and engine house belonging to
the U. P. works were entirely sur
rounded and the aspect of affairs were
most discouraging. Then , for some
unexplained reason , the rise seemed
to cease and it was hoped that the
flood bad reached its limit. This
condition of aflairs continued for
three hours , and the most active
efforts were made to
PROTECT THE PROPBBTf
of the U. P. company , tha smelting
works and the lumber yards. At nine
o'clock a rush came , and the side
tracks which had up te that time acted
as barriers to the progress of the flood
began to show signs of weakness , and
in a few minutes huge parts of the em
bankments had given away and the
water was pouring into the 1 ist and
remaining basins west of the smelting
work * . Nothing could be done by
the employed iu " "
men "booming" the
lumberyard except by boats , and the
work of stretching the huge sticks
which were to be the only safety for
a quarter million doll us worth of
timber , progressed slowly. At times
a pile of boards would go down with
a crash and wooll float away , pirt
of it to be caught by the
men and a part to get out into the
main current. How much was lost in
tois way cauld not be definitely ascer
tained. A talk with the different pro
prietors of the lumber anj coal yards
showed them to be very taxions. Tne
large sash house of the Chicago com
pany , filled with solid sash and doors ,
was already four feet in water. "If
that should raise , " said Mr. Cady , of
this company , "it would be
" "
"GOOD Br
to all of the lumber in this and the
other yards , for it would break any
boom that we can stretch. I think
that a rise of six inches more will take
it from its foundation * , and when it
cornea we want to look out for our
selves 1" The lime cars standing on a
side track were emptied of their con
tents at an early hour this morning ,
to prevent their destruction by fire ,
as the rapidly slacking lime was al
ready forcing smoke out of the crevi
ces of tha can This alone Involves K
loss of nearly * thousand dollars.
UP IN THE STREAM ,
which rushed wttn an angry hiss be
tween the smelting works and lumber
yards , could be seen large chunks of
timber and parts of frames , wh'ch ' had
evidently belonged to dismantled and
wrecked houses and barns from up the
strsam. A reporter of THE BEE char
tered a boat ( which he rowed himself ) ,
and struck out on a tour of investiga
tion among the many devious winding
and crooked places of the upper
and idwer yards * The lumber piles
were found to be very shaky or tum
bled down. Up in the car yards the
tracks at places were evidently sunken
and the cars np to water above their
wheels. All of the shops were flood
ed , in many Instances the water reach
ing to the tops of tha machines. No
estimate can be formed of the damage
to machinery , belting and floors , but
it mast be very heavy. Three houses
west of the lower shops were
surrounded by the water , which at
this point had risen seven inches ,
from nine o'clock to noon. Above
the shops several more houses were
Inundated and the inhabitants had
all moved ont. The barn belonging
to the railroad company seemed just
ready to float away , and if it should
start'it would doubtless sweep every
thing in its path , as at this point the
current is very swift.
A 1-AJOLY IK PERIL.
As the reporter was pulling down
through the lumber piles and cars ,
finding here and there a place just
wide enough to squeeze through , he
was hailed by a man on topof a box car
in the distance. The man proved to
be John G. Cole , of Florence , who
explained that ha waned the boat to
rescue a family on top of a houee
about two miles below Boyd's
packing house , where his brother ,
Enos Cole , and the latter's wife and
five children , were on top of their in
undated house , waiting for help. Mr.
Cole also stated that his brother has
five horses in the barn which was
floating near tha house , and it was
thought donbtful if they could be kept
from drowning.
THE RISE
from twelve o'clock hat night to
twelve to-day waa two feet , or an av
erage of two Inches an hour. The
moat alarming reports come from the
east side of the river , which at tvrelve
o'clock a reporter waa dispatched to
investigate.
THE B AhD M.
trains are abandoned for to 'day , the
rise on the Kansas City and St. Joe
cutting them off from Pacific Junc
tion , and the bridge at Orepolia not
being yet completed. Trains are
running between Plattsmouth and
Pacific Junction , keeping up connec
tions with the 0 , B. & Q , and run
ning regularly from Plattsmouth
westward.
ARUMOB EXPLODED.
A rumor hab been current on the
street that sever * ! hundred head of
cattle had been drowned at the Coun
cil Bluffs stock yards. A telephone
message to the transfer depot elicited
the information tb.it the stock had all
been removed before the water reach
ed them , and that none have been
drowned. At two o'clock efforts were
being made to transfer passengers and
baggage , accordingto the scheme men
tioned above.

flood.ACROSS
ACROSS THE RITER.
The water is about four feet deep
at Council Bluffs , around the engine
houses and sweeping along the traok.
It also has reached the Union Pacific
depot and has inundated a portion of
the platform. The passengers west
ward bound on the train due at
12:15 : were transferred at
three o'clock by means of
flat cars which were upon the inun
dated track , and covered with plank
ing. The dummy train was near to
the switch , and took the passengers
and baggage on board. No accident
occurred during the transfer.
SAVING STOCK.
The cattle in the upper barns of the
Willow Springs distillery were taken
one this morning. About 1,100 head
were driven to higher ground , with
a loss of but one or two. In the mad
plunging of the excited animals sev
eral employes were knocked down and
trampled , but no one wss known to
be badly hurt.
From Saturday Evening's Bes.
COUNCIL BLUFFS.
The situation this morning at the
city on the east side was alarming in
the highest degree , although it was
exceedingly difficult to get any details
on this side. It was definitely learned ,
however , that all the lower portion of
the city was flooded , that the water at
many of tha warehouses had reached
the second floors and that many fami
lies had been obliged t-j vacate their
dwellings and accept the hospitality
of theif nelghbjra on the higher
ground. Great alarm wan felt on ev
ery side , and great crowds of people
: hronged the banks of the steadily
widening saa and seemed to fear that
even the batter part of the town
might be reached by the flood. All
communication with
THE TRANSFER
snd with several of the city railroad
offices was cut off , eiept by boat ,
and in many. places the swift current
made even communication of this
cind difficult and risky. At the trans
fer depot during the early hours of
the morning It was believed that the
Union Pacific bridge across Spoon
Lake had been washed away. This ,
however , was not the case , but the
depot authorities feared it unufe for
the passage oftrains | and several freight
cars were ilowly backed down by a
locomotive to determine its condition.
The cars moved slowly over it , and
the fact was promptly communicated
to Union Pacific headquarters in this
city. A pUn for
with the transfer depot wss qnickly
decided upon , which was carried into
effect a few hours later. To run a
passenger train through the flood
was deemed impracticable , but
a temporary bridge was de
vised and moved into plsca , con
sisting of a train of flat cars , one
thousand feet in length , extending
from the transfer depot to a point this
side the Spoon Lake bridge , where
the passengers could take the train
backed over from this tide. The sit
uation

this morning was as follows : The

is heated. Aronnd the platforms the
water is said to be still some inches
below their level. The rumor that
the baggage room is flooded
was found to be tin true at
12 o'clock , the water being still two
feat lower than the floor. . Arrange
ments had been made to clear the cel
lars of water with a steam pump , but
as the water ia still rising , this scheme
will undoubtedly be abandoned for the
present.

BREAKING ,
A Bold Attempt at the U. P.
Ooal Shed.
When the weighman at the U. P.
coal shed on .Thirteenth street , near
Leaveuworth , reached the office Sa
turday a small building near the
shed he'foand to his surprise that
the door was ajar. Entering he ob
served that the outer safe door was
open and shattered. A quick exam
ination revealed the fact that the
burglars had not snccaeded In making
their way through the inner door ,
which they had penetrated with a
drill to the depth of about half an
inch. The only other trace of their
visit Was a broken drill on the fiior.
It was found they had entered the
outer door by drilling just above
the combination and Inserting powder
had blown the outer door open ,
shattering tha eutlre inalde portion of
it. This accomplished they had re
moved the knob and rim from the
inner door and attempted to drill
through this door , which is composed
of alternate layers of chilled iron and
steel , and constitntes the burglar
proof portion of the safe. The office
till , which tbe burglars had opened ,
contained only a piece of 25 cent
scrip , which the burglars had left.
The only article taken was a revolver ,
which was in the outer portion of the
safe , and belonged to the weighmaster.
