Two spans of the Rush creek bridge on the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road near Liberty, wero washed away, and trains between Kansas City and Chillicothe have been abandoned. The bridge is 200 feet long and eighty feet high, and it will take a day or two to repair it.

The Kansas City, St.x Joseph Council Bluffs tracks are submerged twelve inches for a long distance near Parkville. The Hannibal tracks are also under water near Liberty, and tho Kock Island passenger train was delayed an hour thereby to-day.

Between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, for a distance of two blocks, in the eastern part of the city, the entire surface is under water. The floors of nearly all the dwellings in that territory are submerged, causing great inconvenience. In Kansas City. it is estimated that $25,000 worth of damage has been done.

In a few hours the spirits had risen to some height. A barrel of it reached Savannah this morning, and ex perts pronounce it the pure article. It is not believed that the well has been salted, and the mystery is so far inexplicable.

He Is Said to Have Learned that Chinese Gor don Is Alive, and lias Gone in Search of Him. New York, May 17. According to au evening paper New York newspaperdom and the great clubs are excited over tho latest newa from Europe, that James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald, has gone to Khartoum tho capital of tho Mahdi.

He left Paris three weeks ago.went to Marseilles; thhii to Alexandria, and this week is in Cairo. Two stories have been cabled over in explana tion of this singular journey. One is, at tho Club Mereton in Paris one night an organ ization which resembles tho famous Eccen tric Club of Jules Verne in the character of many of its members an officer who had seen service in the Egyptian army, said that it was impossible forauy foreigner to enter Khartoum and depart alive. A discussion arosct, in which were cited tho many instances of clever Europeans who had disguised themselves, and in this garb penetrated the most intolerant and fanatic cities of the Moslem world. It culminated when Bennett, who was taking an active part in the conversation, declared that any one possess ing sufficient brains and money could visit the Mahdi and return unscathed, and offered a heavy wager that he could himself do it within the period of six months.

Tho bet was promptly accepted, and Bennett. accompaniea uv an lnuinaie menu, starieti forthwith on the hazardous journey. The other story is far more startling. On the evening in question at the club mentioned Bennett received along dispatch iiuui i vauu Dialing iuab he had just received a visit from an envoy of tho Mahdi, with im portant news regarding Chinese Gordon, and that the latter was tdill alivo and kept a close prisoner; that the new Mahdi. by reason of his reverse on Kordofan and the Bahr-al-Ghazal.

and his loss of tho great province of Darfur, was willing to ransom Gordon for a million francs. The next few days Bennett niado aU arrangements for the trip, and for thu payment or the vast sum mentioned, and with an intimate friend et out for Egypt. litil. l.i T- i iui uiiio couiu learucu in xew iorK confirmation of the storv.
