Loss to Property “111 Be Very Great,
Though Few Persons Perished—The
Schuylkill Is Still Rising With
Dangerous Bapidity.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, May 23.—A11 of
the horrors of the disastrous flood of 1889
have been repeated, and Williamsport and
all of the country around has been swept
by a mighty river that spread out over al-
most every part of the city, carrying away
with it property of such value that it is
utterly impossible to calculate the amount.

The river is now going down rapidly,
and about one-half the-the flooded terri—
tory is out of water. This is in the center
of the city. The lower parts cast and
west are yet under water, and as the rain
has continued unccasingly for 48 hours
the river is likely to keep up during the
next 24 hours.

When communication with the outside
world was cut off at’2 o'clock Monday
morning by the breaking of the wires, the
river had overflowcd its banks east'and
west. It rapidly came out and spread out
over the whole city, and early yesterday
morning it was impossible to get any-
where except by thc use of boats.

The night was one of terrible experi-
ences. The water came up so rapidly in
some places that the occupants of the
houses were compelled to flee to the upper
stories for safety and were rescued from

there by heroic boatmen, hundreds of

whom risked their lives to save others in
danger.

To add to the. unfortunate situation,
the electric light and gas plants were early
crippled, and the city was in darkness aft-
er 8 o’clock’. Half the big boom, contain-
ing 150, 000, 000 feet of legs, went out soon
after midnight. The other half went at
about 4 o‘clock. The logs in the mills
along the river as well as thousands of feet
of sawod lumber and portions of mills
were also swept away, and the loss to the
lumbermen is as great as it was in 1889.

The Market street and Maynard street
bridges, which cost the county $200,000,
were carried away early yesterday morn-
ing. The Reading railroad bridge [at
Muncy, an imposing iron structure, was
swept away yesterday morning. All of the
wooden bridges in the neighborhood are.
gone.

The flood reached its height at about 10
o’clock last night, when the water began
to slowly go down. At that time it was
about 32 feet high, which was within a
foot and 10 inches as high as the flood of
1889. The city at that hour was covered
with water as far as the eye could reach.

Many of the smaller houses along the
river banks were swept away; and others
were flooded from 4 to 16 feet. The busi-
ness portion of the city suffered less than
in 1889, for the reason that the warning
came in good season, and their goods had
been turned out of the way of harm. Many
of them were not placed high enough from
the water, and some of the stores are
wrecked. ~

No Lives Lost. .

A remarkable fact is that not a single
life appears to have been lost. Rumors of
many drownings have been heard, but so
far not a single one has been confirmed.
Lock Haven, Renovo, Jersey Shore and
other points west were great-er sufferers ,
than in 1880. North of us the damage was
not so great. "

East of Williamsport there was great
destruction. All of the country rbads and
bridges have been swept away, and many
of the little mills and stocks of logs have
moved with the great body of water. The
part of the city that is now out of water
is' (Srowdcd with men, women and chil-
dren. Many of them are those whose
houses, which can be seen in the distance,
are still under water.

All of our residents fully realize the ex-
tent Of the calamity, and all of the priva-
tions and sufferings that are yet to come.
There is, howovcr, no grumbling and no
disposition anywhere to lie down and wor-
ry over it. Where the water has gone out
of houses and stores their owners and oc-
cupants are already busily making them
habitable again and are Working with a
will that promises to bring order out of
chaos in a short time. Mayor Elliott has
telegraphed the governor and Mayor Stu-
art of Philadelphia, giving the situation.

Damage Along the Schuylkill.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2 .—’I.‘he floods in
the Delaware and Schuylkill were greater
than ever at high water. today. Places
that were not reached by the waters at
high tide yesterday afternoon were sub
merged this morning. The most serious
damage was done along the' Schuylkill,
but property on the Delaware front also
suffered severely. ' ' ~

At Manayunk the Schuylkill rose is
within a foot of the high 'flood tide of
1869. The mills on the eastibank are flood-
ed to the first floor, and as the water is
running rapidly it is feared some of them
will collapse. The water has submerged
the first floors of the houses on the west
side, and the peopleiare in the second stor-
ies. At \Vissahickon the river reached
such an alarming height that families had
to be taken out on rafts and removed to
places of safety. .

The Delaware river bank broke near the
Greenwich piers this morning, flooding a
portion of Island road west of Broad street
and the surrounding section.

Several families .at Sun]; street wharf
had to be removed from their second sto-
ries in boats. The South street and Gray’s
Ferry bridges are still intact, but the dan-
ger of their destruction is not lessened.

At Twenty-fourth .and 'Chestnut streets
the water is fully as high as it was yester~
day, and -all business at the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad depot is suspended. Su-
perintendent Dent says that it will be 10
days, even should the water abate at once,
before they can resume operations at that
point. ‘ '

 

Gene'ssce Valley Roadsuumea.

DANSVILLE, N. Y., May zit—The pres
ent flood W111 1.. :1: in magnitude of destruc-
tion to roadways on both sides of the Gen‘
esee valley with the flood of 1856, which is
recorded as the most extensive - and de-
structive in the history of the county of
Livingston. ' The. - innumerable gullies
which line each gide of the valley and are
comparatively dry- during the summer
month'h-are converted into Waterways of
uncontrolled power during the prevalence
of the rainfall, of such. eopiousness as
the present, and the sudden and terri—
ble rush of waters tears out every obstruc-
tion in its course before it enters the val-
my and finds a‘level‘.‘ in the rising - flood.
It will take a long time to place the road-
ways of- the valley intheir former condi-'
tion, and the expense saddled on the
towns along the line will be enormous in
the aggregate.

Railroad Travel Demoralized.

ROCHESTER, May 23.—-A washout of 00
feet of track at Avon today completely
blocked the Western New York and Penn-
sylvania road. The only train out of
Rochester today on that road was the
Seottsvillc, a distance of 12 miles and re-
turn. Over the tracks at Avon from two
to three feet of water is flowing. It will
be several days before the water subsides,
so that the passage can be made. Other
minor washouts along the line are report-
ed. It will be a week before the trains can
run through regularly on this division.
The Erie tracks in this city are covered
with eight inches of water, extending from
the depot for an eighth of a mile. The
trains passed through the water in safety
today, but as the Gcncsce river continues
to rise there is danger thatthe water will
soon be too deep to allow the passage of
trains.

The Susquehanna Still Rising.

COLUMBIA, Pa., May 23.——The Susque-
hanna river at this point is 12 feet above
low water mark, within eight inches of
being as high as in June, 1889. and still.
rising. The logs from the \Villiamsport
boom passed here at 3 o’clock this morning.
All boathouses on the banks of the river
have been sxvept away. There are no
trains running west on the Pennsylvania
railroad. The tracks are three feet under
water for three miles west of this town.
At Marietta all the residents on Front
street have moved out of their homes.
Along the port roadx south of here many
towns are under water. The pumping
station, electric light plant and many mills
are under water.

Telegraph Companies Embarrassed.

NEW YORK, May .‘23.—Telcgraph com-
panies still report great trouble with the
wires on account of the storm. There is
much improvement in the wires today as
compared with yesterday, however, espe-
cially in the south. In New Jersey all
along thccoast south of Long Branch
points arc'i'eached with difficulty and only
after long delays. Communication is very
bad throughout Pennsylvania, and Wilkes—
barre, Lock Haven and the flooded region
are only reached new by one wire. The
northern central part of the state is also
in bad shape. The California lines he-

. twecn Cheyenne and Ogden are all weath~

or bound, but everywhere else they are in
good shape, and everything is working
well.

Unpreparcd at Penn Yan.

PENN YAN, N. Y., May filth—The rain
of the last two days has caused consider-
able damagc. The water in Lake Ken—
ka has risen very rapidly and is now
pouring over the state dam at the foot of
Main street to the depth of 11 inches. The
sudden rise, after nearly every one had
ceased to expect it, caught many unpre-
paer and causes much inconvenience.
Many new docks suffer from the loss of
planking, and considerable timber piled
along the shore is also afloat. Vineyards
which have been plowed are very badly
gutted, especially along the precipitous
side of the Buff Point and the west side of
the west branch.

Cheering Reports From Several Points.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.—chorts from
Williainsport and the territory north of
there indicate that the water is falling as
rapidly as it rose. It has ceased raining,
and the danger may now be regarded as
3past. The \Vestern Union Telegraph opero
ators got back to their office this morning,
and communication with the outside world
has been resumed. At Renovo, Lock
Haven, Bellefonte, Clearficld and Drift-
vvood the water has receded, and the work

The wires are working poorly, and infor—
mation from those points is meager.

Tracks Under “’ater.

ATLANTIC" CITY, May BEL—The storm
continued today, but with much less force
than during the previous 24 hours. The
South J crscy railroad has been badly crip—
pled by the tracks being submerged and
serious washouts along the road between
Cape May and Camden and this place.
The tracks oféhe South Jersey road cross-
ing the meadows at this place. are com-
pletely under water, and trains could not
run. Railroad travel to Cape May has
been cut off on accmmtof hcavywashouts.
Great damage has been done to the grow-
' ing crops in south Jersey.

 

 

Phoenix Company's Plant Submerged. ,l
Pnorslxvnmu, Pa, May 23.—’l‘hc
Schuylkill river at this point is more than
18 feet above the low water mark and is
still rising. The entire plant of the
thnix Iron company is submerged to a
depth of from three to eight feet, and all
operations have ceased.
Schuylkill canal are broken badly in a
dozen places, and almost 100 families have
been comchled' to‘ move out of then
homes. The borough waterworks are
submerged so that no water can be
pumped into the reservoir, which is fast
running dry.
