water mad made its appearance in the front part of
tne town AT about two o'clock tue next morning
the leVee gave away at the head Of the street
Whlch runs between the Ice House Hotel and
G0odmhn's saloon, and our people awOke on Thurs
day in the midst of a lake varying in depth from
one to four feet, whose limits towards the south
were beyond the reach of the naked eye. The
teyce broke also very early in the day on the upper
SIDE OF the hotel in front Of Henaries, the old
Court House and Williams Warehouse, within the
limits OF the town. and at the bridge near the little
bayou above town, at the head of the plank road
and the mouth Of Bayou Robert. All the lowlands
were OF course soon under water.
The damage to the town was very great. Two
hundred thousand dollars would not it.
with the exception Of a dozen or 80, every house
IN town was under water to depth varying from
three inches to two feet Early on Thursday the
walls OF EDodman's new and fine saloon were I'M
dermned and tell as also part of the walls OF
henarie g. John Wells irving's brick house, OPP
pesite the Town Hall, and in fact, nearly every
brlGk house in town. The Ice House Hotel, which
was IN the midst of strong current all the time,
stood remarkably well, only the northwest corner
wall cracking oil for ten or fifteen feet. Mr. John
A. WIlIldmsS warehouse was washed entirely
away and the stores of Messrs. Sullivan and J.
Walker have sunk considerably out of plumb. On
Thursday night the horrors of the scene were in
creased by the COnhagratiQn Of a house in the
southern part Of the town, which, for a time,
threatened to spread to no lnc0usiderabe dis
lance.
From the country we have not received as much
intelligence Of the disaster as we could desire All
