LISTOI.V , Nob. , May 10. [ Special to THE
DEI : . ] People who have llvud In Lincoln for
twenty- three years do not hoUtutu to pro
nounce the present Hood the greatest within
their recollection. The water maintained n
stoadynso during the nUbtbul this afternoon
nt4o'clock It wns believed thu limit had been
touched and tbnt unless another storm sot In
the Hood will subside ns rapidly ns It cnme.
A high wind prevailed during the night and
has continued nil day. The wntor lun boon
chopped Into waves by the xvlnil nnd these
waves hnvo beat against the roadbeds of tlio
rallioads , threatening the tracks with the
force of a 103-ton ttlp hammer , -and ns u re
sult the railroad companies will require a
week to put tuolr tracks in good order.
DIIIIIIIRO to the Jtnllro.iiU.
It was not until this morning thnt the
dnmago to the railroads was apparent , The
ontlro Hooded district is Interlaced with tbo
tracks of the Union Pact Ik' , Hock Island ,
Missouri Pacillr nnd Burlington companies ,
and all ol thorn liavo suffered to a greater or
lesser extent , the Hock Island sustalnluc the
heaviest losses ,
Tins forenoon THIS Br.n representative
traversed the entire distance from tbo Union
Pacillu depot on lower O street to tbo Inter
section of bait crook with North Fourteenth
street , u uUtnnco of ever four tntlos. For
the entire dtstunco tbo ralltoad tracks nro
but n few Inches nbovo the water , nnd in
many places they nro entirely submerged !
sometimes to a depth of n foot.
The Union Pacific track from O street
northwest to the spur of too Burlington run
ning toVost Lincoln has been badly dam-
nprd , but not to such an extent that trnius
cannot pass. The Burlington spur running
to the uacklnir bouses of West Lincoln Is
submerged to a depth of from ono lo two
feet. The Missouri Pacific transfer track
connecting that road with the Hock Island
has boon washed away entirely , while sev
eral hundred foot of its track between tbo
Hock Island and Burlington has been ham-
mured by tbo waves until It Is so badly dam
aged that It will have to be repaired before
it cnu bo used.
Tun "Miles o ( Truck Kiilnoil.
The most extensive damage , however , Is to
the Hock Island trajks. Fiom the point
whore the Hock Iblaud crosses the Missouri
Pacilic as far north as the state fair ground
tbo track has been exposed for eighteen
hours to the incessant pounding of the waves.
From 1,000 to lr , > 00 feet of track hnvo been
washed away , while for n distance of two
mllo-i the roadbed Is so badly undermined
that It will bo impassable for trains until the
entire crado is reconstructed.
The Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley
has suffered the most in the vicinity of Keu-
dall & Smith's mills , north of the city , where
the big dilto erected several years ngo to pro
tect its tracks has boon washed nw.iy.
The Builington tracks have "not been dam
aged to any aiiprcciablo extent. Its yards
nro Hooded to a depth of about two foot but
its repair shops , engine bouses , round nousos ,
etc. , are secure from t any invasion of the
Hood.
Suflorotl by the Flood.
As nearly as can bo determined 100 families
have been urivon fiom their homos by the
Hood. ThObO people uro boused at' tbo Paris
school , First and 1C school , in the city ball
and in thu bnbomcnt of the court house.
Their aojomodations have only the merit of
protection from tbo wind. Last night when
TUB Bic representative visited the Park
school bo found the basomcnt looms tilled to
overflowing , mostly with women and
children. At tbnt time they had nothing to
oat and but little to drink. Most of them
huddled together like sheep in the furnace
room. During tbo night cooking stoves were
put up and this morning the unfortunate
people were supplied with plenty of bread anil
butter ana hot coffee. At tbo First and 1C
school the peoole did not fire so well. Fully
300 people were gathered in the building
which is completely surrounded by water.
It has been difiicult'to get food and sappltes
to these people , but the authorities huvo
Uono every thing possible to make them com
fortable.
Tonight it is believed that all danger of
further suffering is past. The people noiv
distributed around the city In temporary
shelter will not be able to return to their
homos for several days yet and their real
suffering will not commence until then.
Most of them will Hud their furniture ,
cnrpots , gardens , etc. , completely ruined and
a largo number of them will doubtless need
