THE RIyER.-Y esterday morning, at eight
o'clock, the ice started at LIE Claire, and by
noon the river was full of floating blocks.
coming down over the rapids with railroad
speed A gorge formed on the Island side
at the railroad bridge, and some fears were
expressed for the safety of that structure. A
channel has been worn away in tho center
of the river, aud the big air hole just below
the government bridge is rapidly enlarging.
The ice is moving twelve miles below town,
and there is strong probability that the
channel in front Of the city will be open in a
day or two.
The ice took sudden start about 10
o'clock this morning, and moved some dis
lance down stream, piling up along the
shores to considerable height, carrying the
| Davenport ferry dock block below its reg
ular position. No damage has thus far
resulted 10 either the bridge or the piers,
and at this writing, 3 o'clock P. NJ, the
river is clear On the Iowa side, between the
bridge and the piers. A channel about so
or IS feet wide, extends from in front OF the
Rockford depot to below the pillow factory,
but solid mass lies between the ferry land
ings and extending from below the point OF
the Island TO point even with the Rock
ford depot. A boat is expected up by
March lst.
