oRroNv1LLE, Mlnn., April 27.-Water still
falling. The ice holds firm but is softsning
some under the influence Of the warm sun and
must soon break. AZ q rough estimate OF
damage done by high water, should say i've or
six thousond dollars aside from the loss Of the
railroad company. Many had to leave their
homes, but were able to take their movables
out of the way of water. sn.A good many are
moving back again.
Large numbers of emigrants have b:en fer.
ried out to-day. The steamer has been moved
to place OF safety out of the way OF ice.

During the Night.

A reporter of the GLOBE visited the West
side at about O'Clock this morning and found
matters substantially the same as at dark.
Some twenty three families, comprising lit
tie over eighty persons, had chosen to risk the
night in their homes, and refused all tenders OF
lodgment elsewhere. A man was on guard,
however, at every domicile that was Inhabited,
and there were skiffs attached to every house,
80 that there need be no loss of life, even IN
der the worst circumstances.
THE POLICE PATROL
was vigilant. The entire district was patroll-
ed, boats being freely used for the purpose,
and every precaution against accident taken.
About midnight drunken Frenchman was
found foundering in the water in close prox
unity to the first creek, which was rushing
along at twelve miles an hour speed. He
was fshed out by Officers O'Keefe and Zirkel-
bach and placed upon terra afrma, but soon
afterwards undertook to walk to his house
near Longevin's, and had 20 be rescued Sec

INCIDENTS.
At one time yesterday forenoon the rush OF
the flood threatened to wash way the culvert
that spans the creek nearest the bluff. Ener.
getic measures were at once adopted, and
men and teams set to work rlp-rapplng Inc
piers. They were happily successful, ana al
danger of the washout had passed peIore
nightfall.
Several thousand people went over the
bridge last evening to take look at the
devastation.
Among those conspicuous on the West side
yesterday and ready to help wherever help was
needed were City Attorney w. P. Murray and
W. W. Erwin. The latter rescued woman
and her two children.
While there were doubtless many who de-
serve especial mention there was one o. two
cases which came under the reporters obser-
vation worthy of note because In marked con-
trast with greediness played in many instances.
Joseph Hack and Mr.. Cooper, residing on
this side of the river, loaded boats which
were taken over by Lena Ludwig. Ar.
Ludwig accompanied the boats and with Mr..
Ludwig put in the day aiding IN brine ICING

clining to receive compensation for their
services. We wish there were more OF such
cases.
A small house floating down stream struck
the piers of the bridge over the first creek.
When it reached the lower side OF the road.

indiscriminate ppearance-soarcely TWO
boards together.
Scores of men were treated to involuntary
baths during the day. and though some OF
them were in a precarious condition Tor
time, no serious results followed. Up to
o'clock this morning no loss OF life had oc.
curred-an extraordinary fact when considered
in the light OF the number of people imper.
rilled.
A dead horse came rushing under the second
small bridge,on Bridge street, yesterday morn

A KENTUCKY man has patented
an Improvement in booms designed
to calch and retain logs that are
drifted down by the current of a
river. The Scientific American says
that the Improvement embodies g
drift sheer, which is in the nature
ola series of logs converging toward
each other, to gather the timber
and the commingled drift, ice, debris,
etc, combined with a shore section
having a series of side gaps and a
trail boom floating nearly parallel
with the shore section, which holds
the logs and drift as they pass from
the drift sheer close to the side
gap where they are assorted from
the drifts and safely placed inside
ihe shore section, which is divided
into series OF pockets by shore
tastenings with outriggers, so as to
avoid the cumulative strain Of the
whole lot of timber by distributing
the timber in lots i'll the several
pockets, and thus avoiding the
breaking of the boom and loss of
logs, which is liable to occur when
the cumulative strain of q great
number of logs is brought 10 bear

Our correspondent, while going along the
river road, on the east side of the Alabama
river, short time since, encountered II
species of snake that is just ahead of any
thing in the way of snakes we ever heard
Of The snake was about three feet long
and seven inches around the body, and, at
first appearance, had but one tail, but what
appeared very strange, its head sloped to a
point and had twenty-six eyes, thirteen on
each side of its head. The snake got its
back up and prepared for battle. 1t was
attacked with pine knots and fence rails,
and before the battle closed exhibited
thirteen tongues twentysix eyes. ten tails
and twelve heads. Wayne, in which the
snake was killed, is fairly entitled to the
belt. Prohibition is in full force there, and
It is stated the drug stores of that section
are very careful about dealing in the ar

continuing this far. The trip was made
principally to secure measurements for the
new canal locks ordered at the stockhold-
ers' meeting last month. 1t is proposed to
begin work on them at once. When fin
ished, it is expected that steam navigation
will be introduced generally ON the canal,
increasing the revenues ofthe company con-
siderably. Comptroller Keating, who made
his first trip on the canal ON this occasion,
speaks in glowing terms of the magnitude
