THE SNOW.

The generally eEpeGted April showers.
whose potency in bringing forth the early
flowers none can successful dispute, have
not yet put in an appearance 10 this city
or neigborhood. AS substitute for the re
refreshing rain fall. this section is blessed
with another late STOW which commenced
yesterday afternoon and with fey hours
cessation is still falling at a very fespSt
able rate. The absence OF wind has caused
the present storm to be uneEentful in the
way of drifts.I n case the fall continues for
a few hours longer, inconvenience to trains
and travelling generally may result. The
street car track vas we'll filed up this
morning. but by the use Of additional
horses on the different cars, the trsckway
was soou cleared sufficiently to allow the
usua! running OF cars. So far 20 iDterrup>
ton to traios has been caused, although
the different trains arriving in the city dur
ing the late hours last night and early this
morning were behind time, due in almost
every instance to the snow which blocked
the track

THE ICE.

The ice in the river made decided
movement yesterday, but the solidity OF
tho field below this city prevented the
breakup extending any great distance,
and was formed. as evidenced by tue
alarming rise of the water. This rise at 6
o clock last night was within 2 feet of the
highest point reached by the FLOOD last
summer. The pusge at different parts
show that the water stage was Is feet
shove low water mark. The water threa~
tened to overflow and it was fully expected
that the slough and low lands adjacent to
the river band would be inundated during
the night. Arrangements had been per-
fected to arouse the citizeus in case the
overflow did occur by the blowing of
a whistle and the ringing OF the fire alarm
bells at the different hose houses. A
short time after o'clock to water subsid
ed as quickly az it had risen. and an
investigation disclosed the fact that
second gorge had been formed above the
the bridge, extending from the
Davenport water work to the
island. In this way the anticipated overflow
was averted for the time being. but the
danger still exists, and without the ice bes
low this city passes out before the gorge
above gives away. food will undoubtedly
be the result.
1t 10 stated that the river is clear some
IL miles below, and it is hoped that Rock
river will break up and force the ice out
from below. In this way the gorge St this
point can be removed without any material
damage. Daring the morning the water
in the slough was reported to be rising at
a rapid rate, aud the families residing IN
that locality were making preparations to
move to higher ground.
At late hour this afternoon the situa-
ton had not changed. and the prospect for
an overflow still appeared probable. thoagh
not i'm eminent.
