tbs RAPIDS IMPROVEMENTS. The Sycs'
more dam is now dredged out and the river
runs through the new excavated channel
This WAS gigantic work which, though
well done. and being an immense advan-
tage to Navigation over the rapids, Is not
such channel Rs the government officers
desired it to be. 1t is still slightly tortUous
because to make it perfectly straight would
require very much more excavation. They
have however made tue completed work
and the slight variations will be marked by
buoys for the benefit Of pilots. This dam
on Sycamore Chain was the largest Golfer
that ha1 ever been constructed, and laid
bare a large portion of the bottom of the
river, which has been covered by the cur
| rent of the Father of Waters for nnumera
BILE ages. We have previously published q
long description of the dam for our readers
aud most of the residents of this vicini
ty have visited the spot to see the river bee
| laid bare.
Campbel's Chain is now nearly pumped
out and will be ready for the commence
ment of excavation on Monday next. l
win be dependent on the weather, as !;
whether the work will be completed or no

ANOTHER REAsoN.-Arother reason for
the scarcity Of coal is the small amount
which has this season come in from Coal
Town. Usually 30 or 100 loads per week
are expected 10 come in from those banks
during the winter season, bat this season
there has not been an average Of ten loads
Transfers will not haul coal when they can
get any other employment for their teams,
az it does not pay them very literally. A
large number of teams are required By the
Rockford Railroad Go for grading, and con
selnentIy thitber they all co. and none,
scarcely, engage in carrying coal from Goa

quite number Of victims have been taken

posted in financial matters, and accustomed
to handling the old bills, would be tempted
TO consider the new one q counterfeit. The

ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Two Passengers Killed and Three Employees
Injured.

We learn, just as We go to press, that the
mixed train on the c., Il t. & p. railroad,
going west, last night had a severe accident
west Of Des Mones, resulting in the death
of two passengers whose names are uu'
known, and in the serious injury Of three
employees of the road, one of the latter
the conductor, John porty, who is well and
favorsbly known on the line. We learn
that his injuries will probably prove fatal.
The accident was occasioned by q freight
running into the mixed train while it was
standing on the track. Tho late hour at
which We receive the intelligence renders it
impossible to give further particulars to.
