DAMAGE TO GORGE RAILROAD
AND POWER PLANT EXCEEDS
A MILLION DOLLARS.

Buffalo, April 1.-THE voice of
the great Niagara was mute today
Tor the second time in the memory
OF man, the river being frozen solid
6rom bank to bank. Wednesday,
the worst gale of the season broke
the solid ice field and churned Lake
Erie from end to end and piled a
huge mass Of ice at the lower end
of the lake. At the falls, there has
been a heavy ice bridge in the pool
below the cataract since the middle
Of the winter. Under the impact OF
the mass of ice from Lake Erie
above and added flows brought
through by the wind, the bridge be-
gan to surge down the rapids. The
wind shifted to the north and In
stantly the moving, foes packed at
the mouth of the river and froze
steadily as each hour brought added
pressure from above.
Unable to, escape by natural chan
nels, the level of the river quickly
rose and on Friday night it was
forty feet above normal. The water
poured over the window stills Of the
power house Of the Ontario Power
Company and flooded the machinery.
The track of the gorge route is
covered from the steel arch bridge
to Lewiston. Conservative esti-
mates place the damage at over ST.
100000.
Hundreds of visitors poured in
from the surrounding country and
towns to witness the sight not
likely to repeat itself within the
present generation.

Governors Private Cecretary Visit
ing the Northern Hills.


ing the Northern Hills.
Leade, S. D., April 12.-F. L..
Wingfeld, private secretary to Gov
ernor Vessey, arrived from Hot
Springs this afternoon, and will
spend few days in Lead in an en-
deavor to get the tangled skein of
the mine inspectorship Strengthened
out. In conversation today with
people who are in the cause of
Crawfordism and insurgency, he
stated most positively that Governor
Wesley had not as yet made up his
mind who he would employ, but
from what he said the inference
could be drawn that the appointee
would not be a man who had con-
tributed anything toward insurgent
success and foisted Crawford on an
unsuspecting public as United States
senator from South Dakota, but that
the governor would follow out the
course that had been pursued by
the present administration ever since
it has been in Office, of rewarding
it's enemies and giving the laugh to
those who supported that faction
of the republican party the most. Mr..
Wngfield will be in Lead for several
days, and before he leaves the mat
ter of mine inspector will probably
be settled.
