AT TEN P. N,

EAU CLAIRE, Sept. II, 10 40 p, m.-The water
in tho Chippewa has fallen about three feet since
noon. 1t reached at the highest four feet and
seven inches higher than the great flood OF $780,
Ali the low portions of the city have been flooded
nearly 400 dwellings have been swept away or
wrecked, and 2,OOO people are depending on
their neighbors who live on a higher ground for
shelter and food. Tonight relief committees
have been organized and hundreds OF people are
being fed in the court house and the gospel tent
of the Y. N. c. A, while most OF the destitute
are being taken care of in private houses.
The east and west sides of the Chippewa, which
divides the city in twain are entirely cut of
from communication with each other except by
way of the Omaha railroad iron bridge which
admits the passage of foot passengers. 1t is
situated so far up the river that a walk Of four
miles is necessary in reaching the business
portion of the east side from the court house.
1t would be useless to attempt to give details
of loss. Almost every family in this city loso
something. The Chicago, Milwaukee st. Paul
railway company lose not less than q half q
million dollars. The loss in this city will be
nearly million dollars. The Eau Claire gas COM
pany lose $4,000. The lumber companies all
lose very heavily but the heaviest losses are
suffered by poor peopIe who have had their
homes swept away. The newspaper Offices havo
all been flooded, and no paper has been issued
to-day or will be tomorrow, except the Leader,
which issues small sheet printed on sob press
instead of their regular size.
Only one life has been lost in the food here
man named Ehler was drowned while trying to
rescue his sick wife. Mayor Dayis has tele-
graphed to Wabashaw for 8 steam ferry boat,
which viii come up tho river as soon as the stage
of water will permit. Work will be commenced
upon bridges to replace those swept away as soon
as the water goes down.

O'Clock this morning There is terrible suffer

barns followed suit. All the embankments and
other improvements on the Chippewa and Eau
Claire are swept away. All the business houses
on the south and Barston street lost enor-
mously, the easements filling with water so
quick that nothing was saved. Your CORE
spondent lost all he had in stock stored in the
basement Millions of feet of lumber and logs
came tearing down the rivers and streets, making
things terribly wretched. All the abutments of
the bridges and other improvements of the sea-
son are totally destroyed. The streets here are
a rushing torrent of water and debris. The
Minnie creek bridge, five miles from hore, is
gone, and so is everything else in the way OF the
dams and bridges for miles around. The streets
are mostly wholly destroyed.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. 11.-Both the Chip
pewa and Eau Claire rivers began falling about
noon, after reaching the unprecedented height
of twenty feet-three feet higher than the
great flood of 1880. Every bridge on the Chip
pewa has gone out-tive railroad bridges and five
wagon bridges In this city the loss OF prop
erty is appalling. No satisfactory estimate can
be made at this time. In and between Chippewa
Falls and Eau Claire the loss will not fall short
of $1,000, 900, and it may greatly exceed that
sum. The Eau Claire Gas company lose $50
tons of coal and all their buildings valued at
$4,000. The business houses on all sides Of the
two rivers are submerged Great app rehension
is felt lest when the waters recede the founda-
tions may be SO much impaired as TO crumble
the walls In this city over 200 houses have
been swept away. Only one life is lost so far as
heard from. While this dispatch is being writ
ten the buildings on Bridge street, West side,
have fallen. They belonged to Fred Bonell, A.

upon the subject, some people are disposed
to think that Mr.. Ochiltree, who introduced
the resolution in the U. S. House Of Repre-

must have been the author of the story OF

resolution, inasmuch as the deceased was

CoALITIoSIsTs.-A joint meeting Of the read
ulster and the republican State committees was
held in the Wing building in Richmond Satur.
turday, for the purpose of calling State conven-
ton. There was full attendance of both com
mittees twenty six of the twenty seven members
of the republican State committee being present.
Senate Malone and Congressman Hooper L libby,
Mayo and 30 wen were present. The meeting was
called by the executive committees of both parties
and it resulted practically in merging both organ-
cations int Que. A convention was called to meet
in Richmond on April 23 next for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the national convention
of the republican party to he held at Chicago on
June next and further for the purpose of nomi
mating Presidential electors. 1t is generally con
coded that in the approaching national contest
Malone and all of his followers arc to throw
aside all pretence of democracy and come out
boldly as Republicans. Arrangements are to be
set on foot at once for the work of reorganization
Protection is to be made one of the strongest
planks in the coming fight, and one most relied
on to gain accessions to the ranks OF Mahones
followers. Most if not all, of the members of the
committee present favor Mr.. Artburs nomina-
ton, and the chances of his securing the majority
of the delegation from this State are regarded BY
some of the leaders as foIegone conclusion.
