Friday night asteady and almost continu-
ousdowapoarof rain has have swelling
dlolthsmandhtessturdaynight
numerous clondbnrats along Pius crseh
the Susquehanna made it impossible to
confine the water within the banks of the
streams. It has therefore spread out over
the county and at every point is pouring
into the main river.
Throughout Sunday the rain fell bore
and continued to fall last night. Advices
from all points up the river say the same
conditions exist. A cloudburst at Kat-
ing, 20 miles above Renovo, early Sunday
morning raised the river there 90 feet, and
the river at Renovo is reported higher than
during the flood of 1889, when half the
town was under water. '
Above there and extending tothc head
waters at Clearileld every town and ham-
, let has been reduced by water to the con-
' ditions that prevailed in 1889. Along the
Philadelphia and Eric railroad between
this point and Emporium traffic has been
practically suspended since Saturday
night. Trains are running between Wil-
liamsport and Lock Haven, but above the
latter point landslides and trackwashouts
have practically swept the tracks away,
and the loss will be very heavy.
Poor People Driven Out First.
The Susquehanna here flow: to the south
of the city, and while it has not yet reach~
ed the point of danger it is crawling up at
the rate of a foot an hour. Grafiua run, a
tributary which empties into the river be-
low the city. floWs north of Williamsport.
rten It overflowsd its banks and spread over a
considerable portion of the city at noon on
Sunday, flooding many housesand driving
the occupants from their homes. All of
the houses were occupied by poor people,
and the rise was so sudden that the suffer-
ers lost much of their personal property.
The full strength of the flood is expected
here at about midnight, when the great
body of water from up the riverisdus.
The fact that. the water will rush down
upon the city in the dark hours of the
night adds an additional element of horror
to the situation. _
The rush of water that swept so much
IWIy in 1889 or» c at daylight, and the
work of rescuing the people could be bet-
ter prosecuted than after dark. In antici-
pation, however, of what is expected the
fire and church bells of the city were rung
to notify the people of the impending dan~
gcr, rind since that hour the work of pro
paring for the worst has been in progress.
In the hundreds of homes that were. sub
merged five years ago the people are mov~
lug out and storing their goods in the
houses of those living on the highlands.
The business part of the city was a com-
plete wreck ilvo years ago, and hundreds
of merchants are moving their goods to
places of safety. Conveyanccs of every
description are hurrying through the
streets of - the city loaded wrtii household
goods and merchandise, and the scenes
beggar description.
The regular church services were all sus~
pended Sunday, and in all of the houses of
worship those who attended confined their
devotion to the oflering of prayers for the
assistance of Providence in the pruent
graveemergency.
Big Bruno of hugs Lost.
At midnight, with the ruin still failing,
the river had overflowed its bunks in the
central part of the city, and the water was
rushing up Mnrket street and out onto
Third and Fourth streets. in the business
part of the city, where the collars were
full of water. The height of the flood
then won 94 feet. and it was estimated
that it would reach “.37 feet from the pm
snt rainfall.
As the rain shows no signs of abatlng, it
is feared that today may bring more ele—
ments of danger. liyconiug creek. which
brings more water from the north, was
bank full and coming up rapidly. it
comes in at the upper end of the city and
was the principal source of damage in
1889. The height of the river then turned
it out of its course and emptied it in from
north of the city, and it is feared that
there may be a repetition of that disaster.
The main boom of the Susquehanna
Boom compuuy broke at half past 12
o’clock. There Were. lflwillflll) feet of logs
confined there. and all of them passed out
and down the river. ’l‘hcloss will be more
than Huron—«tn.- value of the logs in tho
boom—sud will throw hundreds of men
out of cvuploymcnt.
Bradford's titreets Navigable.
BRADFORD, I’m, May {BL—Tho worst flood
in Bradford’s history is rushing through
Tuna valley. Twenty streets contiguous
to the creek are inundated, and hundreds
of families are in the swim much against
their will. For four days and four nights
rain has been falling here almost inces
santly. and the mountain streams have
been swollen to raging torrents. The cast
and west branches of the Tune, which join
their forces here, are both transformed
into good sired rivers. Their waters even
how the banks and on the lowlands cover
a wide area.
in the Sixth word 20 families were taken
out of their houses in boats during the
night. and on Clarence, River and Hilton
streets a rescue corps with skids rescued
as many more. Luckily there were no fat.

in that locality are submerged already.
. At Baxter’s mill the dam is entirely out
of sight. Great fears are entertained for
the safety of the Central New York and
Western railroad trestle just below Bax-
ter's mill. ' The water has been flowing
over the rails for thalast three hours. Bev-
srai cars loaded with heavy material have
been placed on the bridge to help hold it
own.
East Oban looks like a vast lake. No
teams have been able to pass along the
Boardmanville road from East Olean since
Sunday afternoon. The tracks of the Boi-
ivar roots are under water for five miles
and will probably be washed away in
places. as a swift current is running all
alone this line.
The Electric Street Railway company
has abandoned all the cars on its different
lines. The Erie has abandoned all trains
on the western division, as well as. all
trains on the Western NcwIYork and Penna
syivania. The Sunday special from Buf-
falo only got as far as Hlnsdule and had
to return to Bnflalo, being unable to get
hereon account of a bridge being gone.
Numerous washonts are reported in sev-
eral directions, and from present reports
no trains will run for several days.
At Portville the streets are submerged,
and people are being driven from their
homes. Merchants have been forced to
take their goods on! the floor and pile them
onl the counters and upon boxes and bar-
re a.
At Port Allrgnny the water is higher
than in 1580, and at Coudersport, which is
the head waters of the Allegnuy river, the
wuteris fully as high as five years ago,
and it is still raining hard. it will take
fully 15 hours for Close to get this heavy
water from these points, and before this
everything will be swept away that was
reached by the great June flood of 1889.
Creeks Become Raging Rivers.
Rcsnronn, N. Y., May ai.—'l‘he Genesee
valley is again the scene of a flood fully
equal to .the great freshet of June. our.
and the loss to the farmers on the low lands
cannot be estimated. Acres and acres of
crops are washed out completely, and miles
of fencing have gone down stream. Many
farms are badly cut up by the raging
waters.
At Oramel, Crnford creek was a moon»
taiu torrent. washing out the highway
and undermining the foundations of farm-
houses. The creek overflowed into the old
mural basin, which burst through the em-
bankment of the Western New York and
Pennsylvania railroad. Several houses be-
tween (finneallea and ()rumel were sur-
rounded by the water before the occupants
got out. .
At lionghton the creek ovarflowed an
made a river of Main street, filling cellars
and carrying of! all loose property. He-
low lionghton. near the site of the old lat-
tice bridge, the river went over the banks
and washed out the track of the Western
New York and Pennsylvania railroad a
long distance. The water around several
houses at this point was up to the lower
sills of the windows At Fillmore, (Bold
creek took off the highway bridge, and
families were taken from their homes in
wagons in the lower part of the town. At
iiushfoni two creek bridges were washed
away and below the town on Rushford
creek three more. The roads in many places
are under water and washed out so badly
that they are impassable.
’ Johnstnwn Again Flooded.
Joussrows, l’a., May 21.~The greatest
storm since the big flood of lfitlil has council,
and early light disclosed flooded streets '
and alloys and cellars full of water. Mer-
chants were busy all night getting goods
kept in cellars to high places, where the
water cannot damage them. About $5,000
worth of timber belonging to the Couch
maugh Lumber company broke loose and
was carried away. tearing two bridges
down and causing great damage.
Fifty fees of a stone wall along the Cone-
nmugh river was washed away, and crops
in the Vicinity were ruined, entailingaloss
of thousands of dollars. Reports from Eb-
ensburg say that. the heaviest rise since
1889 is there. Bridges across small streams
are swept nwny. The report says that the
farm crops are washed out, and everything
is a dead bias, The rain at Ebenshurg still
continues, and the river is likely to be
again much swollen when the streams
from the north empty lnto it.

a height second only to the great flood of
June, 1889, and may even exceed that, as
the river is rising at the rate of one foot an
hour. The water is now standing on Main
street in this city. '
At Renovn, Lock Haven, Jersey Shore
and Williamaport the residents are mov-
ing to the second floors of their homes, and
merchants are all busy moving their goods
to places of safety. Many families are
leaving the towns and seeking safety from
flood by going to the bills. All the docu-

moved from the county offices and taken
to places of safety.
