THF. RECEDING WATERS.
The Willamette Flood Partly Snbsidfs.
Albany, Feb. 7. The river lias
fallen four and one-half feet at this
city. Business, which has been par
alyzed by the flood, is being resumed.
The damage to property in Albany is
slight. It includes only a few old
buildings, a portion of tho old Mbu
tieth mills and the Union Pacific
wharf, besides damage from inunda
tion of basements. Several county
bridges are gone and a considerable
amount of stock was drowned along
the river.
Eugene City, Feb. 6. The river is
falling slowly. The highest mark
reached was twentv-two feet above
4 low water. The large bridge near
bpnngiield went ont Monday; also a
part of the bridge near this city, en
tailing a loss of $20,000. A few small
buildings in the low bottoms were
washed away, and a large amount of
cordwood, fencing and other material,
also, the aggregate losses figuring
many thousand dollars. The city of
Eugene did not suffer any loss from
the river, and but slight loss and an
noyance from surface water.
ConvAiiMS, Feb. 9:15 A. jr. The
city is feeling jubilant over the fact
that last night the river fell thirty-six
inches, and is now going down at tho
rate of three inches per hour. A light
frost was on the gronnd at daylight,
and the sun shinning brightly. The
sky is perfectly clear, aud a northwest
wind prevails. The Oregon Pacific
train will arrive on time.
McMrxxvELiiE, Or., Feb. G. 9:15
a. ar. The river fell nineteen inches
since 5 o'clock yesterday, and is falling
now quite rapidly. To say the situa
tion causes joy does not express
the prevailing sentiment. The sky is
as blue in summer, and a warm south
wind is blowing.
Independence, Feb. G 9:15 a. jr.
The Willamette fell twenty-four
inches since last night, and is now re
ceding at the rate of two inches per
hour. Tho general impression is that
within twenty-four hours it will be
five feeet lower. The weather is
warm, with a clear sky and a south
wind.
A COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
One Ilnndred And Fifty Jliners Killed.
London, Feb. G. An explosion oc
curred to-day in a.colliery at Aber
sycham, in Monmonthshire, ten miles
northwest of Newport. Three hun
dred miners were imprisoned, and for
several hours no communication could
bo had with them. An opening was
finally effected at noon. Two hun
dred of them have been rescued. A
number of those taken out were seri
ously injured. Rescuing parties are
still searching for those remaining in
the mine. It is feared that it will be
impossible to rescue the miners who
aro still imprisoned.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon forty
bodies had been taked from the mine.
Fifty miners are still imprisoned, and
it is not known whether they are dead
or alive.
Hvter. It is now apparent that
the estimate of the number of lives
lost by to-day's explosion in the Aber
sychan colliery made by the owners of
the mine was not placed too high, and
many believe that the dead will ex
ceed their figures, 120. Although
some fifty bodies have been taken out,
the ghastly work is only at its begin
ning, and a vast amount of labor will
be required to clear away he debris
and recover the bodies that remain in
tho pit. The bodies taken out are so
horribly mutilated that except in two
or three cases identification is impossi
ble, recognition being rendered
doubtful by the fact that the men, ow
ing to the close and heated atmos
phere of the mine, wore no clothing
whatsoever, except heavy boots to pro
tect their feet from the flinty bottom.
It is ascertained that the mine has
been in a dangerous condition for
some time past; that 'long ago an ex
plosion occurred in an adjoining pit
by which live men were killed. The
damaged pit was flooded and, the
water gradually forced the gas into
the pit which was the scene of to-day's
disaster. Upon this information it is
already suggested that the owners of
tho mmo be prosecuted for criminal
negligence.
Sixty dead have been taken out
Latest estimates place the loss of
life at not less than 150. Physicians
in attendance pronounce half of tho
number dead to have been killed by
fire and concussion, and the other
half by suffocation. Several of those
rescued nlivo have since died.
