A Her thu Flood.
The scene of Wednesday night's flood In the
southern part of the city was the center of
attraction yesterday morning and thousands
visited the vicinity of South Main street to
view the vast inland sea that spread across
the bottoms from the Hock Island mid Mil
waukee depots to the foot of the bluffs away
to the southeast of Island Park and Hinton's
station. The water covered au area of fully
eight thousand acres , to bo seen from lower
Main strcot. The Inundated territory In
cluded u tract about four miles long and thrco
miles wide.
At'o'clock yesterday morning there had
been no perceptible lull of the accumulated
waters , The Milwaukee yards wcro Hooded
to the depth of two foot , and the Hock Island
mid Milwaukee tracks wcro covered by about
four Inches of water between the passenger
depots and the switch tower.
Karly in the forenoon the wntor began to
fall , ami had fallen about two feet at 1
o'clock. Dozens of families whohad hurriedly
moved out during the preceding evening be
gan to venture back to their homes to Investi
gate the amount of daiuuyo done. Over two
hundred dwellings had been surrounded
by water to the depth of from
two Inches to ns many feet.
The force of the Hood hud been Insufficient ,
however , to move any of them from their
foundations. There wore comparatively few
of UN houses in which the water covered the
tln > t lloor , ami in such Instances the furni
ture was more or loss damaged. The princi
pal damage was caused by the Hooding of col-
liini and the washing away of light material
from thu yards.
Ki\voml hundred yards of sidewalk was
washed away from its proper place , but it
will not cost a great deal to replace It in posi
tion , Wooil wus swept away by the
cord , ami numerous .small outbuildings wore
overturned , The total damage to residents
of the southern part of the city will not ex
ceed $ l.XX > . ami may bo much less than that.
The damage In the railroad yards is merely
nominal , as the current was not strong
enough to wash away the roadbed to any extent -
tent Inside the city limits. The receding
waters left the Hock Island and Milwaukee
trucks In apparently us good condition as be
fore , but the Burlington suffered a slight
washout just west of the Milwaukee round-
liojs" , A few car loads of cinders repaired
the damage.
During the forenoon both the Hock Island
\
nnd Milwaukee sent out construction trains
to begin the work of repairing. They found
everything clear as far us the deaf and dumb
Institute , where there was 11 serious washout.
The track at that point had not been put In
condition for the passage of trains lust oven-
Ing. It Is reported that It is ono. continuous
washout from this point to Underwood , ft dis
tance nf nearly twontv miles. It is impossi
ble to tell Just how badly the tracks are dam-
need , as telegraph lines nro down and there
is no means of eotmminlcati.ig with stations
cast of hens. The ofllcials say they Imvo no
more information regarding the situation than
has already been made public. They suppo. o
that work Is going on all ulong the line , and
nro of the opinion that linemen arc working
this way from Neola repairing U > o prostrated
lines as rapidly as possible. The rulltond
bridges at Chuutauqua are standing in posi
tion , although It can not be told wliothcr they
are materially damaged or not. The Hur
llngton track U comparatively uninjured , al
though ono or two bridges were reported us
somewhat damaged , nnd several car loads of
rock were ordered sent out to brace up the
foundation. " .
The Milwaukee trains arc running over the
Notthwcstern between this city and Oimwn ,
where they strike their own Sioux City line ,
on which they run to Mnnvlllo Junction ,
where tliev gain the main line. They nro not
running nil their trains , but send out the lim
ited as nearly on time ns possible.
Their train which should have arrived
Wednesday evening , came in about 'J
o'clock yesterday morning over the North
western.
The Hock Island Is running its trains over
the Uurlington to Hod Oak , thence over the
branch to Griswold , where it reaches its own
branch line , thence to its main line at Atlan
tic. They have abandoned their regular even
ing ( train nnd all freights until the track is
repaired and again open to travel. The morn
ing train went out as usual and the limited
left on the time of the evening express. The
incoming limited was about four hours late ,
arriving at' ! : l.ri.
E5 One fact , developed In connection with the
running of the I lock Island trains over the
Burlington track that shows Unit the great
strike of two years ago bus not been forgot
ten. When the order was issued for the Hock
Island trains to run in over the "Q" the hitter
tor company scut out its traveling engineer ,
Mr. Webster , to act as pilot for the Hock
Island engineer from Griswold to the BlulTs.
On reaching Griswold the Koclc Island engine
crow refused to run on the Burlington track ,
which they designated as u "scab'1 road.
There was nothing to do but to order out u
Burlington engine and crow , which brought
in the train. Since then Burlington engines
nud Uurlington crews Imvo been puhing the
Kock Island trains both ways between Gris-
weld mid Conn.- BlulTs.
Several of the county bridges that wcro
supposed to have been washed out were found
yesterda.f in their proper places when the
Hood subsided and it is not definitely known
now that any bridges in this immediate vicin
ity wen ! swept away. The approaches to sev
eral of the bridges were moro or less cut
away mid considerable lining will bo required
to make some of them passable. The culvert
near the Park's mill bridge was washed out
and the only manner of getting across yester
day was by unhitching the horses , which
were led over , and then pulling the wagon
over on planks laid down for that purpose.
The additional rise that was expected yes
terday noon failed to appear , but no disap
pointment was experienced on that account.

The effects of Wednesday's freshet nro just
beginning to bo felt at Mannwa nnd the
water tu the lake is over a foot higher than
it was forty-eight hours ago. The Mosquito
creek Hood did not cut directly Into the lake ,
but spread over the country surrounding it.
The upiietiruuco of Manawa yesterday , ns
seen from Full-mount park , was as if the lake
was itself surrounded by four larger lakes.
A great deal of this surface water ( for such
It has now really become ) Is finding its way
into Manawu. A part of It found an Inlet to
the lake between llu > 's landing and the hotel ,
nnd tu thls.it was assisted by means of ditches
which were dug by the residents of Munuwn
for the purpose of draining the adjacent ter
ritory.
The water at Meimry park.but n few rods
from the lake shore , was thrco feet deep when
work was commenced , but It was much lower
lust evening.
To the east of the hotel the water reached
the place of Postmaster Hlof , but did ixo
damage. Mr. Kief baa charge of the kennel
of the Council Bluffs coursing club , and the
water covered the kennel.
All of the old hounds were let out to get
them out of the water , but the pupplro , of
which the club bus nearly tlfty , were placed
ill an elevated part of the kennel out of the
reach of the water. The club will not suffer
any loss by ivasoi ) of the Hood.
Thodumuttho lower end of Muuawu is
uninjured but there is u small break ut the
upnor end. .
This can be easily closed , but it will bo
left open until thcro Is no danger of enough
water running into the lake to break the
daui ut the lower end , when the opening will
bq stopped uud tuo water allowed to rise to
f the stngo at which it was during the greater
, part of last season ,
j H Is expected to have everything In rcaill *
1 ness for tomorrow's boat race between Albert

n cyclone swept the country hero about 3
o'clock today. Beginning at a point about
live miles to the southwest of this place it
took a northeasterly course ono and a half
mile west of hero and continued its course to
the Des Moines river. The Hrst place visited
was a school house occupied by a Miss Heater
und twenty-five pupils. It lifted the house
entirely from its foundation only to deposit It
in u shapeless mass of of debris some distance
away. All received iniuries. one probably
fatal. The next place visited wu what
was formerly a largo two-story farm
house. Trees , fences , outhouses and all
were carried away as chaff and hogs and
chickens were killed outright. Ono man wus

The Cyclone's \Viclceil Work.
ADAIII , In. , Juno . [ Special to Tin : Bnc. ]
This afternoon at 1 o'clock an able bodied
cyclone formed ono half mile south of town ,
nt which place it moved two buildings olT
their foundation , wrecking ono of thorn badly.
It passed over the eastern pirt of the town ,
striking on the hill across * the
railroad track , tearing a small
barn all to pieces and driving
some of the boards eight iuclies into the hard
roadway. There were three horses in the
barn and they escaped unhurt. The lightn
ing was vh id and torrents of rain fell. A
large and moro destructive cyclone cloud
formed nt 1 : . ' ! ( ) p. in. , thrco miles northciist of
town , levelling several barns and ruining
orcLurds. It traveled northeasterly and was
very wicked in its appearance.
Only meager reports are yet
received and no ( utilities reported.
Ono freak of the visitor was to pick up u
largo cow and place her over a wire fence ,
landing her safely on the other side.
It rolled a wire fence into a tight ball nnd
seemed to delight in accomplishing queer and
wicked f leaks.
Largo hogs were picked up and carried half
a mile , some of them dead and others not in
jured. Poultry was stripped clean of its
feathers nt one farmer's barn yard and trees
wore carried n mile away.

self this afternoon shortly after dinner. He
retired to his bedroom ostensibly with the
intention of taking a ilap. Several hours
later his wife found his body hanging by
the neck , his life being extinct. It is
supposed ho was insano. Ho recently lost
his position on the railroad , and was unublo
to secure work. Brooding over the death of
a child some months ago , together with un
happy family relations and the habit of drink
fastened upon him , probably drove him in

laboring under some delusion. Ho leaves a

WASHINGTON' , Juno I'.r-Tho republican rep
resentatives went Into caucus Immediately
upon the adjournment of the house this niter-
noon , to consider the silver question. It had
been announced in ndvunco by the leaders
that the real purpose VMS n conference rather
than ti formal euueu-j. It was suggested that
thcro wns no definite' ' proposition before the
caucus , so Representative Buchanan sub
mitted a motion that the caucus bill stand as
rendered. Much talk followed and developed
n diversity of views. - ,
Representative W.nlkor submitted n
proposition which in effect proposed
the reference of the bill back to the
former causus committee with instructions to
report a bill which will place gold mid silver
on a parity by allowing tlio issuing of certifi
cates to an unlimited extent on deposits at
the market value.
Representative Dorsoy of Nebraska sub
mitted a substitute for the caucus bill , n draft
of the bill which ho proposed to Introduce In
the house. It provides that any holder of
American silver may deposit it in the treas
ury ami receive full legal tender certificates
on the base of the market price of
silver ; that when sufficient bullion shall bo
coined to meet the redemption fundltshall bo
covered into the treasury.
Representative Perkins attacked the mono-
metnlllsts in a vigorous speech and noted his
objections to the bullion redemption nature
of the caucus billl.
Finally McKlnley came to the front with n
compromise position. He proposed that the
United States shall purchase * lfiOOt)00 ) worth
of American silver each mouth ; that certiil-
cates In payment -therefor shall
bo of full legal tender quality
redeemable In lawful money , and that silver
bullion may be coined to meet the demand for
redemption. His proposition also contained a
national bank redemption fund , a feature of
the treasury bill , and also a provision that
when gold and silver reach p.ir there shall bo
free coinage. It omits the bullion redemption
provision of the caucus bill uud was therefore -
fore immediately assailed by several mem
bers on that account. A vote was taken re
sulting in its insertion in McKinloy's substi
tute.
tute.When
When the caucus adjourned there was a
good deal of confusion in the minds of the
members its to whether or not they were
bound to support the proposition. Tlio com
mittee on rules will decide the matter wheu
the bill is brought up in the house.

Delegation iu W
Flghllug the lUcKlulcy Hill.
WASIII.NOTOX , Juno 4. A delegation of
about ono hundred importers from Now
York city appeared today before the sen
ate committee on Hiianco to protest against
the passage of the McKinley tariff bill.
J , M. Constable was the chief spokesman
for the delegation. Ho presented the formal
protest of the importers , who , Constable
said , came from all the important centers of
this country , and New York , Chicago , Phila
delphia and Cincinnati , and the Importers
protested against the bill because they
believed it would legislate In favor
of ono class against another class for the
benefit of the manufacturer against tlio im
porter also because it would work against
the poor man , and if the McKinley bill went

creased duty on silks.
Isadora Strauss .spoko against the increase
of the duty on pottery and glassware and
Louis Wiudmuller against the increase on
wool , and other members of the delegation
also entered various protests against tlio bill.
Senator Sherman responded for the com
mittee , saying it had heard tlio speakers with
interest and would give duo consideration to
all that had been said und printed.
The protest presented to the committee by
Constable is signed by forty-live linns in New
York. It protests against the passage of the
bill for the following reasons.
1. "Because it is wholly unnecessary , the
country no longer needing the revenue from
such uncalled for and unjust taxation.
. "It does not accomplish its purpose.
8. "It is unjust in that it , discriminates in
favor of tlio rich against the pool- .
4. "It handicaps trade.
5. "It retards the progress of tno nation ,
the welfare of the whole country nud the per
manent good of the manufacturers them
selves , who require a reduction rather than
tin increase of tariff duty.
0. "The administrative bill increases the
revenue by many million dollars. "

Knilroud Men AVoi-ked Up Over n Pro
posed Stupendous Deal.
BOSTON , Mass. , Juno 4. [ Special Telegram
to Tin ; Bii : : . ] Railroad circles hero today are
excited over the rumors of n gigantic con
solidation which puts the St. Louis & San
Francisco deal in the shade. Again it is the
Atchisou , and this tlmo it is believed
that Boston's two great investments ,
the Atchison and the Mexican Central ,
are the principals. Director MacGoun of the
former originated speculation on the subject
by saying tljnt his road was shortly to follow
up the policy shown in the St. Louis purchase
by another and still moro important deal.
This afternoon at the closing hours
the street was startled by * " the
rumor of the Mexican amalgamation. This
was added to by the knowledge of President
Levi C. Wade of the "Central" being elected
us director of the Atchison.
The attention paid Mexican Central securi
ties today have been explained on various
grounds , but the Atchison deal is the solo ono
accepted The Hnanciul articles in
the afternoon papers all speak
seriously of the rumor and point out how
easy it would bo to bring the , two properties
together. Tlio Mexican fis retired.tlioro would
bo the Atohison's 4s against the Mexican
5s , Atchison incomes against Mexican
incomes and stock against stock. It
Is openly acknowledged that the Atchison
has made truffle arrangements with the Penn
sylvania for an Atlantic outlet and Boston is
carried away at the glorious immensity of
their pet railroad , stretching from Chicago to
the City of Mexico nnd California to New
York.

Tuesday for n scries of three days , demanded
of Manager Thompson full payment of back

play nor leave Sioux City until paid.
Their salaries for May are duo and they
