Northeastern Iowa is rapidly becoming a marsh. The rain has poured down in sheets. Streams are overflowing their banks. If this weather continues, railroad traffic will be suspended. The tracks are soft and all trains are running slow. By the giving away of the roadbed of sand filling at Dubuque which had been undermined by the high water a Burlington switch engine was precipitated into the Fourth street slough and Fireman Edwin Good of Chicago was killed. His brother, a brakeman, and his brother-in-law, Conductor Kennedy, run on the short line out of St Paul.
