PRAIRIE FIRES.
STARTLING RAVAGES IN SOUTHERN
DAKOTA.
Destruction Beyond Precedent-HOuses,
Barnes, Seed, Grain, Hay, &C.,
DeVoured and Several
Lives lost.

CHICAGO, March 3l.-The Sioux City
Ia, Journal has startling reports OF raw.
ages Of destructive prairie fires up Big
Sioux Valley and throughout Southern
Dakota. The fires on Saturday were
Of unusual force and destructive beyond
precedent. The poles OF the telegraph
line on the Sioux City and Pembina
railroad were burned, so the line has
been down and reports from that quar-
ter are not full. A merchant OF Eden, in
Sioux City tells narrowing tales OF losses
in that quarter On Saturday, from his
storekloor, the town occupying an ele-
waited position, he counted thirteen
farm houses in flames. and he says
more than forty in that vicinity have
lost everything, houses, barns, seed,
grain. &c. The flames travelled so fast
that the people were unable to save
anything. The stricken people are dozed
by the terrible blow that has fallen on
them. The large Norwegian Church,
five miles from Eden, burned. In the
same neighbOrhood child is reported
to be fatally burned, and its father was
terribly burned in efforts TO save the
childs life. Northwest of BelOit Nor
wcgian named Nicholson, while work
ing 10 save his property, was caught Ill
the fire and so badly burned that he
cannot live. 1t is reported that two
other men in the same locality were
burned to death. In the vicinity OF
Portlandville it is said that not less than
twenty farmers lost their hay, grain, etc.
At Elk Point +. Richardson lost a large
amount of grain, and the school house
with all the books and contents was de-
stroyed. At White Swan, opposite TT.
Randall, the telegraph office, with all its
effects, was burned, as the operator re-
ports from the Eankton agency. At
the same place the Government stables
were burned, but the stock was saved.
Altogether immense damage has been
done, and the hardship to the settlers
is particularly severe. The grass was
very rank last year, and the protractcd
dry spell has made it powerful food Tor

THE RIVERNIEN.
In Convention at Cincinnati.

CISCISHATI, March 3l.-A large
number Of delegates to the Riyermen' S
Convention assembled at the Burnett
Hous to-day, and organized by calling
Capt. Jas. Wise to the chair. After a
speech by Ben. Eggleston, on the inn
portance of the object for which the
convention had assembled, Capt. Chas.
w. Bachelor, of Pittsburgh, was APP
pointed permanent Chairman, and
Ward Robinson, Of Cincinnati, Secre-
tary. Capt. James COwden, OF Mem
phis, then addressed the convention at
some length, rehearsing his experience
at Washington and his familiarity with
the commerce OF the country. Our
river interest, he said, had diminished
instead OF keeping pace with the other
interests. In support Of this he said the
Erie canal handled more freight in seven
months than New Orleans did in thir-
teen years, and that this grew out OF
the lack of attention given to our rivers,
and particularly to the outlet OF our
great western streams at the mouth OF
the Mississippi.
Upon the conclusion of Capt. Cow
den's remarks, committee OF five, on
rules and order OF business, was ap-
pointed, after which the convention adj
journed to meet this afternoon, when
Captain Cowden will address them at
length, exhibiting plans, charts and
maps connected with the proposed i'm
prOvements.
At the conclusion OF Capt. Cowden's
remarks, the convention discussed the
wharfage charges. The opinion OF the
delegates appeared to be that the
charges were excessive, and, in some
cases, exorbitant.
Adjourned sins die.
