Spring Floods-Damage to Property at Chicago-Bridges Swept Off Like Straw Houses Buried Under the Water. CHICAGO, April 2O.-The river continues booming, and the southwestern suburbs are reported flooded. Two ice houses at William Springs were washed away, causing damage of $1O,OOO.
 The E0entng Neacs has the following spe- cial from Beloit, Wis: At 4 o'clock this morning the bulkhead and portion of the dam at the point of Barrett, Arnold & Kim balls straw board mill went out. The night watchman, William Comstock, and five men from the Rock River Paper company's east side mill started across in a scow to help save the bulkhead, and were sucked in and cap- sized. All were drowned save John K Lingberger, who was rescued from tree on Boney's Island, two miles below. Rock riv- CT rose twelve inches by the washout and has gone down two feet again. The body of William Comstock, who succeeded in reach ing Boney's Island with Lingberger, is still lodged on the island. Nothing has been seen of the others, all of whom, except one, were married and have children
 A SESSAeA 4AOA4 1ho., SdJ5. DhhdSS to the amount of between $50, ,OOO and $20O,O00 was done in Elgin yesterday after noon and evening by sudden rising of Fox river, caused by the breaking of an ice gorge ten miles north of here. The dam of the Elgin hydraulic works and race banks were washed away. This loss is $25, ,OOO.
 About p. m. the Chicago street bridge was washed away. It cost $s5, ,OOO. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway bridge followed, loss $1O,OOO. Scores of dwellings and store basements were flooded. Last evening at o'clock another large ice gorge two miles north of here broke and the river rose higher than has ever before been known. South Grove avenue was torn up and barns and outhouses swept away The iron columns of the Illinois Central and Northern railroad bridges were swept away like straws and the track sank four feet Trains cannot pass over 1t within ten days or two weeks. The supports of the watch fac tory bridge, the only remaining connection between the two sides of the river, were bad ly damaged. The bridge can be crossed by foot passengers. Intense excitement was caused and thousands gathered to watch the havoc. The Dundee bridge is also gone. The South Elgin bridge is partially damaged
 Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars damage has been done to the Kane company by the flood. To-day the river is extremely high, but it is thought that not much further damage can be done. All the mills and most of the factories have suspended.

A New Steamship Line.

\ new company Is now being
organized for the purpose of form
ing an opposition line OF steam
ships TO ply between. San
Francisco and ports south. This
trade has been carried on for many
years by the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, who, owning much
of the wharf property at the land
iRgs along the line, have been able
to ward of competition thus far
with success At the head of this
new company Is Mr.. ID. j. Meherin,
4 merchant Of San Francisco, hav-
inc extensive business relations in
the southern part Of California, and
who has interested the leading
farmers and business men of that
section IN the new enterprise.
Many OF these gentlemen are own
ers OF, or have an interest in wharf
property at the ports where the
new steamers will touch so that
what has been the great obstacle
to forming an opposition line Is
done away with in the present in
stance. The company will mcor-
porate a speedily as possible, and
with ample capital pledged, at no
distant date two aew steamers with
all modern improvements for hand
ling freight and carrying passen-
gers will be making trips 10 south
ern ports.
