Wheat is more valuable cut at a
stage which would be commonly con-
sidersd little early than when left
to become overripe. The callouse or
woody fibre rapidly increases in the
days Of overripening, giving more
bran and less -four, thus materially
reducing the milling value of the
wheat.

CHICAGO, April 20.-The river at
Ashland avenue bridge rose two
and a half inches during the dav.
and the ilood spread considerably
in the southeastern part of the city.
Little II Mobiles lumber ward is un-
der water, and barrier has been
erected to prevent the lumber float
ing away. The docks on the south
side are invisible. The current in
the river is six to ten miles per
hour. The flood extended this af-
tern0on from Lincoln street 10 the
river, Il distance of over two miles.
Corn aud hay are floating on the
canal, brought from tho inundated
farms of the Aux Plains. ThceanaI
is widening its break and the food
is now rushing in torrent into the
canal about three miles east of the
summit. This will materially in
crease the dimensions of the flood
in the city if long continued. Other
breaks are occurring in the canal.
but if the rise continues they cannot
be repaired. The damage to ice
houses already amounts to $1,000.
The rise may not be without its
beneficial resqits 10 the ci,y, 40 The
swift current viii tend to sweep out
the river and clense it Dfan immense
accumulation Of garbage, deoaying
anima! matter and iilth, thus, elm
mating one source Of much sickness
and disease.

\ Hospital Fire.

ANNA, Ill, April 13.-A fire broke
out in the bath room on the fourth
floor of the north wing ofthe Illinois
Southern Hospital for the Insane
at this place at 11:30 o'clock last
night. After getting the patients
out an effort was made to check the
flames, bu. as the building had a
mansard roof on it was not until
the centre building was reached
that the fire was mastered. Three
patients were discovered in room
III the second story of the north
wing entirely surrounded by the
flames. The throng upon the ground
witnessed their frantic efforts to
burst through the ground windows
with breathless excitement Final
ly ladder was procured and placed
near window, and, although the
flames curled around the ladder,
three times men started up, but were
forced by the heat to return.
One gallant fellow named Grace
ran up the ladder, thrust an axe in
10 q window, and commanded a
colored patient named Nelson to
cut his way out. He simply threw
the axe away, and again it was Civ
en- him, and the crowd below as with
one voice yelled to him to cut the
grating loose. This time he did it
and escaped. Grace again showed
his courage by ascending the ladder
and going into the room-now
ablaze and the walls tumbling in
and, after hand-t0-hand struggle
with a patient named McClelland,
who was nearly dead with the heat
but desperately determined to stay
in his room, Grace forced him head
long ont of the window and the
parties outside caught him.
Grace inhaled the heat and suii-
cred intensely afterward, but is not
in danger. \ patient from
Monroe county named Ferkle was
burned to death. These patients
were all taken from the halls, but
in some way wandered back. Three
fire companies arrived from Carlo
at $50 O'Clock and are working up
the ruins. The Superintendent,
DR.. Wardner, is in Chicago on busi-
ness. The loss is estimated at
$4,000. Ferkle is the only patient
missing.

Terrific Explosions.

BISGHAMPToN, April 21-About
half past I o'clock this morning two
terrible and almost simultaneous ex-
plosions occurred from nitro-glycer-
Inc in the nitre vaults of the Dit
man Powder Works in this city.
About five minutes afterward ten
thousad pounds Of sporting powder
in the storehouse, about one hun
dred feet from the vaults ignited
aud caused another terrific explosion.
The buildings were demolished and
scattered in every direction and
property DESTROYED for miles around.
Fences were blown to splinters, trees
were uprootcd, many buildings in
the neighborhood badly shattered
and windows two and three miles
away. were blown out by the concus-
sion. The shock was distinctly felt
forty miles away. No one was seri-
ously hurt. Tha man III charge Of
the nitre vaults discovered the fire,
caused by the improper mixture Of
acids, warned the others and fed be-
fore the explosions occurred.
BRIDGEPORT, April 21.-A powder
magazine three miles from the city
containing one thousand kegs Of
powder exploded this morning.
Buildings were shaken about the
city as by an earthquake, people
were thrown from their feet, and
plate glass and small windows were
broken in many places. The explo-
sion was heard for miles around.
The damage to buildings in the city
was $4,000. No lives lest.

Railroad Accident.

CHICAGO, April 22.-At an early
hour this morning the night express
train, west bound, on the Rock Is
land division of the Chicago, Mil
waukcc and st. Paul Railroad. was
moving at ordinary speed across
Che trcstle work over Mcredesia
river, one mile south of Albany, ILL.,,
when the trestle gave way, and the
train without warming, was sudden
ly precipitated into the river. The
train consisted of the engine, tender,
baggage car, passenger and sleeping
cars. All went down except the
sleeper, which hangs over the end
of the bridge at an angle of 40 de
grees, the upper end high in Il Q
air. Two cars floated off down the
stream. The passenger coach lodg-
cd against an island 40 rods away.
The baggage car stuck in the middle
OF the stream, about the same dis
tance. Engineer West, apd fireman,
unknown, residing at Freeport, went
down in,the cab, and nothing has been
since seen of the locomotive or men.
The baggage man, Sam Flanagan,
the brakeman, Harry Myers, Mes
senger Daniel Ellithorpe, and Con-
ductor Thomas Fuller, all escaped
uninjured, except the letter. There
were / passengers in the forward
car, including man and boy resid-
ing at Pine River, Wis, en- route to
Omaha; a woman and two children
who got on at Savannah for Rock
Island DIR. Limsy, of albany, and
five others. OF these, two men
Jumped ashore as the floating car
passed the abutment of the wagon
bridge which went out yesterday.
another man leaped, but fell back
and drowned. The woman and
one child and the boy from Pine
River were taken off the roof OF the
car after it lodged at the island and
the other six passengers, including
the man from Pine River, and the
little child of lady and DIR. Limsy,
were drowned. These, together with
the engineer and fireman, make s
lives lost in all. There were only 3
