NEBRASKA.
THE STORM STILL RAGETH.

Omaha, April 16. --- The violent snow strom on the line of the Union Pacific, which began Sunday morning is still raging with unated fury and the situation of affairs to day is worse than ever. Assistant Superintendent Clark who went out yesterday with a special train of men, has reached Colombus, but no work has yet been done. Owing to the high winds, driving the snow and the cold wather.

The storm abated a little last evening at Schcyder, Sivler Creek, and Columbus, but renewed its fury this morning, the only variation being that the weather is not so cold. The passenger train that left here Monday, headed with a snow plow reached Silver Creek 109 miles from Omaha this morning at 8 o'clock but could not proceed any forther. Trouble expected in keeping the engines alive and the train is awaiting there for an oppor-

tunity to push ahead. The trains hound for Omaha from the West have reached Grand Island, and have been ordered to remaind at that place till the trains going West from this city arrive there. The passengers are all well provided for and amuse themselves in various ways and view the situation with the best possible grace. They are of the opinion that it is the worst case of winter"lingering in the lap of spring" that they wever saw.

Telegraphic communication west of Grand Island remains broken. No trains was sent out of this city to-day. The hotels here are all crowded to over-flowing and travelers are obliged to sleep six in a bed on the floor and hang themslevers on books, and the landlords are happy.
