The Demon of the Big MMdy Appeased , A Gradual Falling of the Tur bid Waters Commenced. Troubles of Tiavelers From Ex acting Extortions of Coun cil Bluffs Shjlooks , The Nine Feet Rise Scare Ex ploded by Trustworthy Telegrams From Head 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 : its. KHEEM'S DISPATCH. OUAKA , April 10. O. W. Nu'e , Slonx Citr , Iowa : Kejiort heighth of river mominjj of 8th , 9th and 10th , and if rising or falling.now ; sldowhat news from above , and present condition at Sioux City. Rum irs very conflicting. L , M. EHKEH. Sionx Cmr , Iowa , April 10. I > , M. Rheem. Omihi , Nebraska : River morning 8th , high-water mark ; 9th , one foot below ; 10th , three feet below and falling two inches an hour. At Yank- ton yesterday it had fallen fifteen feet from highest point and stationary , with twenty- 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. BLAIR. A dispatch to the BEE from Blair at 1:45 : p. m. to-day states no damage lias been dene at that point and that the river is falling and comparatively Free from ioe. The proprietors of theOmahaSmeU- lug Works keep a stiff npper lip , and claim to believe that their works will not be seriously injured by the flood. 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 OK THE RAILROADS this morning was as follows : The Rock Island alone Jwai able to run ont Its east bound train. Of the trains doe this morning from the east none wera able to get through. The 0. B. & Q. was cut off at some point In Western Iowa , and at last ac counts waa not expected to reach Council Bluffs with its passengers. The Northwestern and Rock Island bad reached their city depots , and the former la at present writing pre paring to transfer its passengers and mail to the transfer depot by means of boats. Five east bound passengers irera waiting at the transfer depot to get to the North western when the boats should return. The Wabash was reported on timej but was unable to reach tbe depot Both the Sioux Olty and St. Joe roads are cut off. A bulletin at the postoffice in this city this morning , announced that there would bo no eastern malls to-day. THE TRANSFER HOTEL is flooded and the fires ont in the boiler furnace , by which the building 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. Railroad Officials Hunting. Attached to the Union Pacific train westward bound yesterday was a direc tors' car from the Burlington & Mis souri railroad containing Assistant General Manager Lowell of the B. & M. , Assistant Superintendent R. B. Cable of the New fork , Lake Erie end Western rcilroad and Mr. 0. S. Maurice , of Athena , Pa. , who were bound for a few days duck shooting np the Plat to. They have been hav ing rara eport and making fine bags at various points on the St. Paul & Omaha railroad line. The eastern gentlemen start homeward on Thurs day of thin week. Water Proof Boots and Shoes at Fullriedo'e. _ . . Some Information. A BEE representative called in at the establishment of Kalian , the Star Tailor , one door west of Ornick- shank's , and found everything in first- class order. An addltion has been built on to tha rear of the building , which will be used as a work shop. Tne front' room , chich will be used as a sale ? room , has been repapered and painted and utted np in good shape , where the obliging proprietor is ex hibiting a fine line of samples of the best quality and latest styles. Mr. Kalian's motto" is "Quick Sales and Small Profits. " 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. "WINE OF CARDUI" cures Irregu lar , painful , or difficult menstruation. At C. F.
