thing heretofore known as the result of @
single storm. The disasters are epitomized
below:
| CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE s ST. PAUL.
The river division of this road is perhaps
tbs greatest sufferer of any of the lines. Be
tween this city and Mendoza there were sew
eral land slides and washouts. The most
| serious was slide little below
Mendoza, covering the track for
length of hundred feet or more. All along
below the railroad bridge are washouts and
slides, two heavy slides being just above and
below Wabashaw street. As this line is used
jointly by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul and st. Paul & Sioux City road, large
numbers of men from both companies were
industriously at work yesterday, and by this
morning the line from st. Paul to Mime
apolis via Mendoza will be in running shape.
There was a slight detention of trains be-
tween Mendoza and Minneapolis, but this
was rem-died early in the day, and trains
ran from Minneapolis to McGregor as usual.
The damage between st. Paul and Mendoza
prevented trains from St. Paul going out
over this division.
Going down the river the damage becomes
much worse. There are land slides and
wash-outs of various extent all the way down
to Hastings. At Etter, the first station be-
low Hastings, there is a heavy wash-out, and
near Frontenac, between Red Wing and Lake
City, still more serious difficulty. A bridge
near Frontenac was moved slightly. The
trains due here at CLIO A. NJ. and 1:0 P. M.
were both at Lake City yesterday afternoon,
having on board hundred passengers for
st. Paul. The railroad company secured
a boat to bring the passengers to Red
Wing, and started train from st. Paul
down to meet them, but three miles
out of st. Paul distractions were found,
and the train was obliged to come back. 1t
is probable that the passengers will reach the
city this morning by returning to Winona
and coming in via Owatonna and tho I. g. M.
division. All trains of every description
were suspended on the river division of this
road yesterday. The officers expect to have
the road in running order to-day, but could
not positively promise this result last
night.
ST. PAUL & SIOUX CITY.
I Aside from the damage between here and
Mendoza, this road has tronble all the way
to Minneopa Falls, station beyond Man
kato.~ At Blakely wagon bridge over the
track was washed out, falling on the track
and forming barrier which caused the
water to tear out the track. The west end of
the road is all right, and the train due here
from Sioux City at 11:O5 A. NJ. reached LIE
Sueur last night. The superintendent thinks
trains will run to-day, though a little off
time No trains arrived or departed on this
route yesterday.
CHICAGO, ST. PAUL s. MINNEAPOLIS
A little land slide on the road between
Saltwater and Hudson was all the damage
suffered. The train from the East due at
A. M. was delayed until 2:3O p. NJ, and the
train due at 1880 p. NJ. arrived at P. II.
The noon and evening trains for Chicago
left on time, and trains will leave for Chic
ago to-day at 1885 P. M. and 8:O5 P. NJ.
ST. PAUL. SALTWATER & TAYLoRs FALLS.
The regular trains on this road were sus-
pended owing to washouts between Saltwater
and Saltwater Junction. This delayed the
circus SO that they did not leave Saltwater
until after Pm. The circus was brought
over in three sections and they we're the first
trains of the day over the road. The regular
trains began running again last evening.
OTHER ROADS.
The st. Paul & Pacific had slight deten-
tions between the depot and their shops,
but only an hour or two delay occurred. No
other damage reported on this line.
The Northern Pacific, except the detention
last noted (the track being owned jointly,
had no trouble whatever.
The st. Paul & Duluth and Minneapolis
& St. Louis roads report everything all
right.
It will probably be day or two before
all the trains on the damaged roads are run
ming on time again, but the railroad men
are wor king very energetcally in the matter.
