River Rises Five Feet in Is
Hours and Ice Sweeps
Down on Boats.
TWO BIG STEAMERS
r BADLY
Bridges in Great Danger Of
Demolition from Steamers
Swept from Moorings.

The ice in the Red river at this
point is all out and the river itself Is
rapidly assuming its natural heighth.
Down the river at Winnipeg the ice
and high water has been raising havoc
with streams and bargeS.
The level of the river at Winnipeg
remained almost stationary yesterday
afternoon, but the rise Of five feet
during the previous fifteen hours left
very small space in some places to the
top of the banks. The river was still
full Of swiftly floating ice last night.
but should be perfectly clear some
time today.
Caught between the speeding ice
foes, a fine big BOAT was carried
along at a high rate of speed, and
struck the c. P. r. bridge broadsides.
1t passed between the two west piers.
The blow must have been terrific,
judging from the splinters and debris
left only a space Of about fifteen feet
between the surface of the river and
the floor of the bridge. so that there
al no escape for the boat. Her en-
tire upper decks We're carried away
with a mighty crashing n rending
OF wood, and what was left of her was
further wrecked when the boat was
Louise bridge. Later in the day the
vessel-a total wreck-was swept over
the St. Andrews dam:
1t was inky black at . o'clock in the
morning when the van of the ice field
bore down IN the flotilla Of boats and
barges moored at the shipyard of the
Lake Winnipeg Navigation company,
directly opposite George street. along
the st. Boniface shore. Rivermen who
We're on the watch say the ice, which
had got a clear course from Norwood
bridge. was running wildly, and when
1t struck the boats it carried all but
one barge away.
Boats Badly Wrecked.
The passenger steamers Alberta and
Bonitoba We're badly wrecked during
the dark hours Yesterday morning
when the ice in the Red river ran
wild, the steel steamer Rosamond Bill
lett was swept from its moorings and
carried 800 yards down stream, when
1t was m~iraculously saved and a new
100 foot barge under construction for
the Lake Winnipeg Shipping company
was swept down stream, and is now
wedged tightly against the piers of
the c. P. r. bridge.
The ice u took place in pitch
darkness. and there was Wild excite
ment when inch and a quarter steel
cables and three and four inch ropes,
holding the boats to shore. parted. The
Rosamond Billet was only saved by
heroic and clever work on the part
OF Chief Engineer Rennie, who was
aboard her.
The piers Of the new c. P. r. bridge
at kildonan were reported by the
chief engineer of the company to be
still standing. and the piers of the new
bridge for the Elm Park company
withstood the shock of the ice foes.
The two passenger steamers wreck
ed were the only ones remaining l n

1t was brought all the way from Ed
monitor to Winnipeg via the Saskat-
chewan river and Lake Winnipeg.
A gang Of men under Captain lsher-
wood, who took charge of the Alberta
this year, has been working for a
of the season. Three OF this gane
were carpenters and Ave Of them calk-
ers.
All that was left Of Raynor's motor
boat garage near Norwood bridge
was carried out by the ice during the
night, as was also the h%ouseboat
Home Rule" which turned turtle
the river. The steps of the motor bOat
club were swept out and the heavy
steel tracks used for running launch
es down to the water were carried
bodily away. Heavy floats were push
ed high upon the banks as though
they had been cockleshclls.
Norwood Bridge Trembled.
The ice run started in real earnest
about 1880 under spectacular condi.
tions. Time and again Norwood
bridge trembled with the shock caused
by the terrific impact Of huge cakes
of ice. Rivermen who were on the
boats which were swept Il say the
ice descended upon them in a solid
mass. against which nothing could
hold.
The passing of the ice this year has
been the most disastrous in the history
of the city. That many small boat
houses We're wrecked in the mighty
chaos of grinding ice is shown by the
great amount of wreckage that passed
under Louise bridge during the ri
ing. Three or four boats went past
turned completely upside down.
The wreckage of the steamer Alher-
ia Is strewn all yer the steel Orders
of the c. p. r. bridge. and it clearly
shows how the upper decks were
ground and splintered into kindling
wood.
Alberta Swept to Ruin.
The Alberta is a complete wreck.

saving. She had a capacity Of 1000
passengers.
She passed Middlechurch. eight
miles down the river at 8 o'clock and
reported to be In a bad state OF

was completed. For almost the entire
length of the boats last journey, she
plunged badly ahead. being OCCASION

to Governors Reforms"

Albany, May 9-Responsibility for an
increase of more than 10000 in the an

placed on Governor Sulzer by Senator

iated by reforms which Governor Sulzer
personally advocated. approved and prom
sed The Governor was always MADE
familiar with every item Of importance.
Senator Frawley submits figures show
ing the committee OF inquirys totals were
81 $40 SIC and the totals submitted 10 the
Governor By the Legislature were 81
5s3. 200.
There is not one item in either the ap-
preparation or the supply bills, the
Frawley statement continues. which can
be viewed in the light Of extravagance.
And the total amount allowed in salary
increases TO present employees is less than
sl0oc00 The Legislature was quite care
ful 10 keep both bills down 10 the point
necessary for the proper running OF the
state government
The large items in the way OF IN

failure OF the committee OF inquiry 10
