PORTLAND. Me-. Aug. THE bursting OF the
big reservoir yesterday morning is not yet

that the water worked back along one OF the

or nifty feet high. and had sloping sidea. The

BIG ICE GORGE MOVES.

three Million Tons Eloat Down the Ohio
River.
CINCINNATI, o., Jan. San ice gorge
with 100000 tons of ice, extending for
over twenty miles, moved down the
ONO River to-day. 1t had been station
airy since Friday. All steamers on the
river at the port of Cincinnati have been
keeping up steam all the while waiting
Tor the worst. All the coal fleets have
Deen covered with men night and day.
thirteen steamers were in port and ex-
posed. There were also seven tow
boats. Besides these there were three
huge wharf boats, the Big Sandy, the
Memphis, and New Orleans, and the
Louisville mail lines respectively. In
the ice gorge within mile OF it's lower
extremity were all that was lett of the
$4,000 worth of coal in the barges de-
stroyed last Friday night. Fleets of
coal that escaped last Friday were ex-
posed and they are much more valua-
bic than those that were torn loose and
carried down the river.
At 2 O. clock this afternoon this mighty
glacier Of 5000, 900 tons began to move
with horrible groan, and the hills re-
echoed with terrific screaming of a score
OF steam whistles. Slowly, as if with
great difficulty, the mighty mass began
with detonations like the sound of mus
kerry. Crunching and grinding the
shores, crashing against the great stone
piers Of the five monster bridges, on it
went with a force no mortal power
could resist and increasing it's speed
every minute. Nineteen steamers and
100 coal barges, empty or loaded, had
but two or three inches of oak
plank to present resistance to
this ponderous aggregation of power.
Every man WAS at bis post
on the steamers and every man
was hero. Again and again the pom
derous chains that held the steamer
and the wharf boats to their moorings
repaired them. The two bridges above
the public landing broke the ice some
what and prevented the otherwise in
evitable destruction of every packet
By 8 o'clock tonight all apparent dam
ger to the steamers at the landing was
over. The gorge had passed ana the
river was comparatively clear. One
tow boat, valued at SIS 900, was sunk and
destroyed Down below the destruc-
ton of coal barges and other property
from accounts at this hour 1OP. NJ has
been terrible.
The harbor tow boats Comte, Ben
Wood and Alice Barr were going down
with the gorge, fully manned and work
ing neroically to break the ice and save
property. The gorge that moved past
Cincinnati extended distance of near
lv eighteen miles. For two miles be-
low this the water was clear and open.
Then came another gorge extending
about five miles. The upper
gorge with it's doomed coal
fleets crushed into it and tore it
out, and now both are grinding their
way with terrific roaring far down the
Ohio at five or six miles an hour. It is
impossible to get a perfect detail to-
night. The following is the nearest ap-
proximate Of the destruction Of coal
fleets: Forty-fve loaded barrges worth
| 81, 1000 each, $lS0,OO0; sixty empty
| barges worth $1,000 each, $120,00O;
Marmet's tow boat Matth eson, $4,000.
Total, $4,000. Not one cent Of insur-
ance is held on any of this property.

BLIZZARD IN NEW YORK.
Street Traffic Delayed by Five Feet Of
Snow.

SIlUWs
New York, Jan. 6.-Not since the ter
rible fall of snow five years ago has New
York experienced storm that 80 near
ly resembled regular Dakota blizzard
as that which has been blowing here
since early last night. Traffic on Broad
way has been almost suspended, while
on some of the less prominent thorough
fares the blockade is complete. In
some places the snow has drifted until
it is four or five feet deep. It began to
grow colder yesterday towards the mid
die OF the afternoon, and the leaden-
colored clouds, which had been
gathering since morning, assumed a
troubled threatening look. The wind
was uneasy and blew in fierce gusts.
During the early evening the snow
flakes, which had been struggling down
all afternoon, began to fall fast and
furious. The snow became fine as dust
as it increased in volume. The wind
blew hard, whirling the dust like snow
through the streets until one
could scarcely see the electric
lamps block away. Through
out the night the elevated trains rolled
along at half their usual speed, while at
several minutes by the rapidly forming
drifts. A few trucks rolled over the
pavements, making scarcely any noise,
while the truck wheels were circled
with broad bands of snow.

SHE APPEALS TO CONGRESS.
Asking an Investigation Of Utah Mis-
sion,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 6.-Mr.
Cockrell, of Missouri, presented petit
ton in the Senate this morning that
is outside the usual run of petit
tons. Mrs. Etfie G. Snow, of
schell City, Mo-, represents that her
daughter. Lora Snow, aged 10 years,
went to Richfeld, Sewer County, Utah,
and became a teacher in the Pres
byterian Mission School. She died
October 4, 1889, in circumstances that
cast grave doubts as to the cause
of her death. Mrs. Snow says she has
been hampered and delayed in getting
the facts relative to her death and in
receiving the body. Mrs. Snow SAYS
that is not the only young
woman whose body has been dis
posed OF in such a way as
leave the suspicion of foul play. For
this reason Mrs. Snow asks that an in
vestipation be made Of the manner in
which this mission is carried on, re-
