‘* - Damage to Crops and Property in

Pennsylvania.

VALUABLE TIMBER CARRIED AWAY

Six to Ten Million Feet of Logs Escape
from the Susquehanna Boom—Increased
Damage by the Breaking of. the Lewis-

town' Reservoir.

BELLEFONTAINE, 0., May 5.—The break
in the Lewistown reservoir is now, over 150
feet wide, through which a. mighty flood is
pouring. The bridges nearest the break
have been swept away and the loss to the
county alone will foot up $60,000. The situ-
ation becomes more alarming hourly. It
is impossible at this hour to estimate the
loss of property, but it is known that the
loss in Logan county alone will run up
into the thousands. The town of Lake-
view is washed away. '

BOSTON, May 5.—chorts from all over
the New England states Show that con-
siderable damage was done by the storm.
Landslides and washout-s occurred on all
the railroads. Streams are badly swollen
and have flooded the lowlands, doing
great damage to crops. NO fatalities have
thus far been reported.

NEW YORK,- May 5.—The heavy wind
and rain storm which prevailed through-
out the state has swollen streams and
flooded the surrounding country, causing
an immense amount of damoge. In this
city the rain fall was unprecedented, but
caused little damage. Reports from nearly
all of the cities and towns of the state re-
port that the storm was most severe.
Washouts and landslides were numerous.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 5.—The heavy
rains resulted in high water in all the
streams of this vicinity, and much dam-
age is reported from various sections of
the county. By far the most serious loss oc-
curred in this city by the breaking of a sheer
of the Susquehanna boom, by which a. vast
quantity of logs escaped. It is variously
estimated that the number of logs lost will
reach from 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 feet. An
effort will be made to catch the most of
this timber in the Clement boom at Sun-
bury. Two or three million feet of logs,
belonging to the Emery Lumber company
at Montoursville, escaped from Loyalsock
creek by reason of the breaking of the
boom. The Reading bridge at Montours-
ville was rendered unsafe.

EASTON, Pa., May 5.—The Lehigh river
has risen six feet here and is overflowing
the coal yards on this side of the stream.
It is over the canal towpath in South
Easton and boats have been forced to tie
up. The water is still rising. The Dela-
ware is also rising.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 5.-—The water
in the Susquehanna. river here rose at
the rate of one foot an hour. The west
side between here and Kingston is inun-
dated, and travel by electric roads sus-
pended. The water has overflowed the
farming lands and the outlook for early
crops is very poor.

LANCASTER, Pa., May 5.—There was a.
heavy rain storm in this vicinity, and the
rainfall aggregated four inches. John
Dierwechter, of Ephrata, lost his life in
the Cocalico creek. In endeavoring to get
his sand cart out of the creek he was swept
down the stream and drowned.

POTTSVILLE, May 5.—This section has
been visited by a heavy rain storm which
has done considerable damage, both to
property and crops. At Schuylkill Haven,
Cressona, Port Carbon, and other towns
along the Schuylkill, the lowlands are
submerged.
families have moved their household effects
to high points on account of the rapidly
rising waters. Numerous landslides have
occurred, and railroad trains are badly de-
layed.

SIIENANDOAII, Pa, May 5.—-In conse-
quence of heavy rains, Shenandoah is
greptly excited by the discovery of large
cracks in the largest of the four dams sit-
uated above the Kehly Run colliery, in
the northeastern part of the town. The
people residing in the eastern portion of
the town in the vicinity of the old Read-
ing railroad passenger station, were
warned to leave, and have fled to the hills.
The collieries along the creek ordered their
men out and have hoisted their mules._

\VINNIPEG, Mam, May 5.—-The banks of
the Red river are full at this point, and
the water is still rising. The river front
streets are submerged. South of this point
me several big ice gorges, and large tracts
of country are inundated. Farmers have
left their homes, in some places driving
their stock with them.

ST. LOUIS, May 5,—Thc flood in the Mis-
Sissippi river has reached its crest at a
height of 36.6 feet above low water mark,
which was 4.4 feet lower than the crest of
the destructive rise of last year. The
water receded very slowly, showing a fall
of four inches from its highest mark. It
is thought the river will continue to fall
and all danger of a flood at present over.

LONDON, May 5,—A dispatch from Cal—
cutta to The Daily Chronicle says that the

[)I'essiblc bloodthirstiness. The numberof
nun-(lens committed at his instance since
he began to reign in 1857 is 3,000. He has

L MINIATURE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.-

Hinnebota, Ohio and Arkansas Visited by
Destructive Floods—At St. Paul Many
Families Lost All Their Effects—Ports-
mouth Reports $200,000 Loss.

, URBANA, 0., May 4.—The greatest calamo
ity that ever came to the people in. Logan
and Hardin counties was that when the
Lewiston reservoir broke and turned an
immense flood of water upon the residents
along its course. The break was in the
northeast corner of the reservoir, where a.
wasteway 6% feet in length is located. - 'A‘
break 200 feet wide. occurred, and the
water came rushing down in a. flood ten
feet deep and three miles wide completely
submerging the country around and car-
rying everything in its way. The b'
covered bridge, 150 feet in length, w
swung completely round and then torn
loose and swept away. In the course of
the flood stood the houses of Jack Smith
and William Devault and a large number
of tenement houses and squatters and
bachelors’ homes. All of these are subs

' merged, though fortunately everybody

managed to escape. People fled in terror
from their homes, while the swift and
rushing flood came on down the valley,
taking everything before it. The first
town along the course of the flood is Port
Jefferson, which was badly flooded.
Quincy, Logansville Degraif, Piqua, Troy
and DaytOn are also in the course of the
flood. The Lewiston reservoir contained
12,000 acres in water. So "far no loss of life
has been reported, but when the floods
subside it will likely be revealed that more
than one unfortunate perished. The dam-
age to property in Logan county alone' is
estimated at $50,000. Many farmers will
be ruined. '

PORTSMOUTH, 0., May 4. —The Scioto
still continues to put out strongly into the
swollen Ohio, but its rise has fallen from
two inches to one inch per hour. The river
at some points is over two miles widé. In
this, Scioto county, the main damage is
the flooding of the bottom farms that have
just been planted in corn, necessitating
replanting. This loss will run up into the
thousands. A large amount of fencing
has also been swept away. The heaviest
damage will be sustained by the railroads.
Near Higbys the largest iron bridge in
Pike county was swept away. A number
of small bridges across Bear creek and
other small streams have. been either de«
stroyed or badly damaged. The loss be-
tween this city and Waverly will aggre-
gate $m1m0- I

SPRINGFIELD, 0., May 4,—The damage
in this city and vicinity from the flood will
run up into the thousands. Two hundred
houses were flooded on the first floor, and
the furniture ruined. The greatest suf-
ferer is the Ohio Southern railroad in its
extension to Lima. which is now building.
The total loss in this vicinity will foot up

25,000. _

ST. PAUL, May 4,—The Mississippi con.

tinues to rise, and has passed above the
danger line. There seems to be no indica-
tion of its havlng reached the limit of the
rise, and more or less damage to property
has resulted. The West St. Paul electric
plant has been compelled to suspend 01%
eratidns, their building being now flooded.
Hundreds of homes in West Side and on
the lOwlands above the " city are under
water, and many families have lost all
their household effects. Should the rise
continue at the present rate for another
twenty-four hours serious results will fol-
low. It is not expected, however, that it
will reach a point that will endanger large
property interests. .
g LITTLE ROCK, May 4.—The river at this
place still continues to rise. - Several large
barns and outhouses went down the
stream yesterday. Reports received from
Salin county say that all farms in Perkins
township are overflowed and crops ruined.
All of the Perkins Place but 100 acres is
under water. The Waring Place is cov«
ered with water, and the damage will be
considerable. Back water is fact coming
up in the vicinity of Robson. Parts of the
Adams and Johnson plantations are inun-
dated. The water is within a foot of the
top of the bank at the Brisson Place, and
is pouring into fields along the river as far
west as Conway, doing much damage to
cotton crops.

Foreign Oficers Will Start Tonight for
the World’s Fair.

NEW YORK, May 4.-—The admirals, and
senior oflicers of. the visiting squadrons
will start for Chicago at 9 o’clock tonight.
The party will number about eighty.
There will be very few of our naval ofliv
cers, as the trip is intended for the for-
eigners. A stop of three or fourhours will
be made at N iagara Falls tomorrow, and
the train will arrive in Chicago Saturday
morning. Admiral thrardi will not go
on account of his many duties in connec‘
tion with the fleet here. Vice Admiral
Kozenoofif, of the Russian squadron, will
alsokemain here, as he has invited a num~
ber of American and French officers to a
dinner on his flagship tomorrow evening.
Sir John 0. Hopkins, the British admiral,
and Gomez Z. Lono, the Spanish admiral,
will also be absent. '

Four of the American ships steamed
away yesterday, according to programme.
They were the Charleston, Concord, San
Francisco and Yorktown. Uncle Sam thus
made the first considerable break inthe
two columns of war ships in the Hudson.
Afterwards the Reina Regents, the only

,-

remaining Spaniard, pulled up anchor and '

went to the Brooklyn navy yard to have
her hull cleaned. These departures left
one big gap in the column on the New
York side between the Frenchmen and the
Brazilians, and several gaps in the line of
our own white squadron. The caravels are
still anchored off N inty -fourth street, and
the business of boatmen in that vicinity is
quite lucrative. ,

There will be a quiet time on the ships
during the absence of the commanders and
admirals. The ships will give a. search
light exhibition tonight and on Saturday
there will be boat races between the crews.
The Russian cruiser General Admiral has
received orders to sail ‘for home in about

May 10, and while several of the foreigners
will remain for several weeks, there will
be a general disbandment of the inter;
national fleet next week.
