The Ale Rghany river is up over the bed of the Pitts burg and Western railroad between here and Sharpsburg. The road is inundated in nu- merous places so that travel has been sus- pended s. Williams grist mill which was carried away from below Leechburg on the Kioki Mintos river, passed here right end up and perfect in all it's machinery. It contained one hundred bushels of grain. MT. s. Will Hams was in the city pursuing the mill, but if lit continues on at the rate at which it passed it will beat him to the Gulf Both rivers are emptying enough water in the Ohio channel to allow boats to go south tomorrow. At ritusville yesterday a bridge was swept away; loss $1 1000.
 NEwoAsTLE. Pa, Feb. 13.-Five miles of the B. and P. track between this city and Sharon is covered with water to the depth of five feet. No mails were received from the north to-day. All trains on the road are dis continued The postefice is filled with full mail bags. Photographic communication north is cut of.
 CUYAHoGA FALLS, Ohio, Feb. 13-The roll ing mill is entirely submerged. The chain works and rivet shops have shut down be- cause of high water. Doylestown has been without mails for three days on account of Thigh water.
 PoRT JERv1s, N r., Feb 13.-Since the storm ceased the Delaware is slowly falling and the great ice-gorge below Port Jervis lis breaking up and floating away. The greater portion of the ice has passed Bush kill, Pike county, Pa, where the surround ing country was inundated and great damage done. The Buckley family are still inn prisoned on the island near Milford. They were driven from their home by the flood and have been confined to the exposed quar- ter of the island without food for two days and nights. An attempt will be made to succor them tonight, though with what success cannot be predicted, :, : as the river is 8 seething mass of turbulant water and heavy jagged ice. Fears of Q third Sgorge forming somewhere below Bushkill are entertained and the residents of the lower valley are greatly excited. It is estimated that the damage by the flood in and about ' Port Jarvis will not fall short of $4O,0OO.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The storm subsided Hast evening The weather since has rel mained clear and cold. The same holds true for the entire Northwest. There is still trouble on the railroads east and west Sew eral days of settled weather will be necessary to get the trains through on many roads in the far Northwest. It is reported from St Paul that in many places the drifts are as high as the telegraph poles, and in not a few cases temporary poles had to be put in the snow to carry the wires over the drifts. It is said that during Fri s day and Saturday the blizzard was of such intensity that no object could be seen it not only drifted the new fallen snow, but licked up the old that had lain packed upon ' the ground for weeks, hurling it in fine and binding particles through the air. The Hastings and Dakota railroad has been blockaded almost since the beginning of win ter. At Mountain Lake, about midway between Sioux City and St. Paul, a train has been snow bound since Feb ruary 1st They had been almost rescued when Fridays storm came, and now there is I no hope of getting them out for week
 Twenty five passengers, among them George Cook, sent set of caustic resolutions to the managers of the Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha company, condemning them for imbecility and incompetency and inhumanity in raising the blockade. The reply of Superintendent Winter was that the company had done its best, and 1t was perhaps providential that the snow Hound train could not leave Mountain Lake, otherwise the present storm might have caught them upon the open prairie, where re- lief could not reach them
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The giving away last night of portion of the long bridge against which the ice had lodged, seconded by northwest winds and freezing weather, had the effect of relieving the streets ot Washington of water last night and this morning. The river Is still high, but nc further damage is anticipated
