The S3lu Leree.

QUINCY, ILL.,, April 2e.-Reports from Fall
Creek, Rockport and other points along the
Sny levee state that the river to-day is station
ary-no raise since midnight. The water is now
two inches higher than during the great flood
last year. The crevasse in the levee is con-
stantly widening, and all efforts to stop the
break have been futile. The water is steadily
spreading over the wide area protected by the
embankment, but it is impossible to estimate
the extent of damage. A strip of highly cul-
tivated land three to eight miles wide and near
share the general destruction. To-day the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad track is
under water between Fall Creek and Hannibal,
and one Of the trestle bridges has been carried
away. The track just below Quincy is also
badly washed by the high water. The Missis-
sippi river just below the city is now over ten
miles wide. All Of the bottom lands on both
sides of the bridge are flooded.

At AtchisO9a, Kan.

ATcu1soN, Kan., April 26.-The Missouri
river at this point is twenty one feet and seven
inches above low water mark. Nearly all of
the river bottom opposite here is submerged.
Many houses in East Atchison have been
flooded, but the main portion of the town. in
cluding the two packing houses, are on high
ground, and in no danger on this side of the
river. Thelowest ground is still several feet
above the water. All roads terminating
here have been cut off excepting the A., 7. &
cifc. The tracks of the Hannibal & st. 10,
the Rock Island, the Kansas City, st. 10 s.
Council Bluffs, all of which cross Mud Lake
about mile east near together, were washed
away last Friday, and no trains have been
running since. The Missouri Pacific has
been broken in several places between here and
Kansas City.

Condition of the Railways.

The st. Paul & Duluth has suffered only
slight damage from the spring freshets, which
are now subsiding in all the country south of
the Lake Superior divide.
Operation Of the Northern Pacific is delayed
but not interrupted by surface water over
flowing the track IN the Red River valley.
The st. Pau. & Manitoba railway continues
to suffer from surface water on the st. Vim
cent division, while the Breckenridge division
is now well drained. On the Fergus Falls di-
vision no trouble has occurred. The great
danger in the Red River valley has passed-the
ice having broken and gone out.

The Flood on the Minnesota on the
Down Grade.

Old settlers in st. Paul were treated to a
new sensation yesterday in connection with
the rise in the Mississippi river at this place.
True, they have seen the river several feet
higher, but never before did they see it SO high
from food coming almost exclusively from
the Minnesota river, nor never before did they
see it rise so rapidly for SO long a space of
time as in the last twenty-four hours. At 6
o'clock Monday evening the government
mark, on a pile at the steamboat
office, showed twelve fest two inches above
low water mark. At Z o'clock yesterday
morning the mark showed thirteen feet ten
inches above, a rise of one feet eight inches
during the night. During the day the rise
each hour was as follows:

bluff The current through that pass was ex
ceedingly swift, and about that time two
young men in skiff attempted to pass. They
passed beneath the bridge, but some five rods
east OF it they ran afoul OF lime box which
was anchored there, and were ircontinently
| tipped over into the drink. The water was
| only about three feet deep, and though the
| feet and cling to their boat. After infinite
| trouble they succeeded in righting the boat
| and reaching the shore, but q wetter or more
disgusted pair has never been seen in st.
Paul.
Shortly before o'clock considerable excite.
ment was created by the spectacle Of seven
men floating down stream apparently amid a
mass of logs and debris. They were borne
rapidly on the current, and at first sight it ap-
AS they neared the bridge, however, 1t became
manifest that they were practiced Iloggers,
and we're secure upon raft of hewn timbers
whether or not the fragment of boom
could not be ascertained. They cleared the
piers of the bridge handsomely, and then be-
gan the work of picking up the stray logs
floating in the channel. It was evident that
they were familiar with the business, and
probably ere this they have succeeded in gath
ering up many of the fugitive logs.
A house floating down the river created
some considerable interest on the bridge. Its
appearance indicated that 1t had been deserted
before the food came.
One young lady, belle in West st. Paul So
ciety, was forced to leave her home hurridly.
She assisted in loading the household furnl-
ture into boat, by which it was conveyed to
truck on Fifth street, and thence conveyed
to place of safety. She was about to follow
the wagon when she discovered that she had
forgotten her pet canary, that was hanging on
the porch. She gave hurried look around,
and not discovering the reportorial eyes upon
her, she gathered her skirts about her, waded
through two feet of water, captured the cage
and returning marched off triumphantly with
the yellow songster chirping cheerfully. Her
display of heroism was commendable.
About O'Clock while Mr.. Minea's family
was being conveyed to the shore in boat, the
oarsman struck strong current between the
creek and Kuhl's residence and became de-
moralized. He dropped his oars and was about
to spring into the water to save himself when
threats from those on the street deferred him,
and, with Mrs. Minea's assistance, he succeed
ed in regaining control of the boat and landing
his cargo safely.

The st. Paul Boom.

At about 10 noon much excitement was
created among the crowds lining the river
bank, and from them spreading rapidly over
the city, by the appearance of great masses OF
logs floating by the city on the bosom of the
flood. The appearance of the logs naturally
led to inquiry as to where they came from,
and soon the report was in circulation and
generally believed, that the st. Paul boom,
some three miles above the city, along the
west bank of the river, had given away and gone
out with the logs it held, variously estimated
by the reports from million to ten million feet.
This report was uncontradicted until nearly
dent of the company, paid the boom visit,
and to his surprise and qualification, he found
the boom all right.
It appears from Col. Princes statement to
the reporter, that about II O'Clock the men
in charge of the boom were engaged IN
rowing lines to further protect the logs from
the rapidly rising water, when there
came a sudden swell in the river, from
what cause does not clearly appear, sending
half feet, down upon the lower point of the
boom, over and under which about two-t thirds
of the entire number were forced by the pres
sure of the water behind, and footed off down
stream.
Fortunately the wind at the time was blow
ing strongly from The south, driving the
loose logs close to this shore, and the great
body of them, as reported by the men of the
boom company, who followed in skiff, have
been checked in the underbrush of the Pig S
Eye flats.
Col. Prince has already had an offer from a
responsible party to gather up these logs and
tow them back to the boom for dollar a
thousand, but it is probable they will be brailed
where they are and foated down to mills at
Hastings or points below, where they can be
disposed of at their full value.
The boom proper, Col Prince says, has not
been injured in the least-not pier wrecked,
chain broken, or a stringer displaced, and the
logs still in the boom, several thousand feet,
will undoubtedly be safely held.
The logs were intended for the consumption
of the West St. Panl mill, and inconvenience
and loss may result to this concern from being
forced to suspend operations just at the busiest
season of the year and when orders are most
pressing. The loss of the boom company
will be confined, probably, to the absolute
escape of few thousand feet, and the extra
expense of getting the logs together now on
Pigs Eye: flats, and rafting them to points
below, the aggregate of which will not ex-
ceed $780,
