THE FLOODS.
Railway Traffic Being Resumed. [Pbb Pbess Association.] DUNEDIN, Fbb. 9. The Bridges at Maheno, Otepopo and Bushy will be sufficiently repaired to allow the express to get through to-night. All trains between Dunadin and Chrißtohurch will resume running to-morrow, excepting on the Eurow branch, between Borfcon's and Hakateramea. The Dunback line is expected to be ready for traffic tomorrow. To - day's train for Middlemarch is expected to get through without difficulty. The Outram branch is still under water, and tbis morning that portion between Eiverside and Gladfield was submerged eight feet, the roof of Eiverside Station being just visible. The water is still over the line between Owhiro and Henley. The river bank between Otakia and Greytown gave way during the night. The coach with the mails, which left Milton for Mosgiel last night, was unable to get through on account of a break in the ordinary road, consequently communication by vehicle also is cut off to the south, and nothing can be done with this portion of the line until the water subsides. The line at Clarkesville and Waitahuna was cleared this morning for trains to pass to and from Lawrence.
