PoTTsvIILE, Pa, Jan. 22.-The pre-
vailing opinion in the city tonight, among
business men, is that the miners strike is
about over, and that the minors will either
accept the 81. % basis or signify their viii
lingness to compromise. IL is predicted
that there will be a resumption OF WORK
next week. The men in NIlkesbarre re-
zion will probably resume soon AZ reduced
rates. There is to be meeting held here
Saturday next, of men and operators. The
probability IS that necessary preiiminaries

BUFFALO, Jan. 22.-The weather and
high water caused the ice in Buffalo river
TO move about II this morning, piling it up
in such force against the pOntOOn bridge
over Ohio street as to carry away that struc-
ture, and in IFS course sweeping ten first
class vessels down the stream, piling them
in one mass against the Michigan street
bridge. The bowSprits Of the vessels In
their rapid course carried away the lower
part of PlymptOn's elevator and infiIcting
serious damage to the City ard Niagara
elevators, and completely demolished those
of the New York Central Railroad COmpa-
nv. The loss is estimated at a million Of
dollars. The Michigan street bridge still
holds the accumulated mass, but should it
give way, there is no calculating the dam
age TO vessels and property below. The
water is now OVERLOOKING the banks, run
ming into the lake through the Hamburg
canal. The greatest excitement prevails.
LATER,-MichiGan street bridge still
holds out against the accumulated pressure
of ice, water and vessels. Every precau-
ton has been taken to protect property and
vessels below Michigan street. Ii is feared
that when the wafer falls the vessels near
the bridge now lying on plies will be great
IN damaged. The loss is not near as much
as at first estimated. Water from the river
is now flowing through the Ohio basin and
Hamburg canal into the lake.
