A TERRIBLE FLOOD.

This city and the adjacent country says
the Baltimore San. was visited on Friday
the Oath with violent storms OF rain,
which lasted several hours, producing
most disastrous food. The rain poured
down in torrents from early in the morn
ing, and obou, midday the water in Jones'S
talls-that dclcc,able stream which passes
directly through tho cily-rose with
grca, rapidity, soon overlooking lis wall
ed banks, backing Into numerous CONT
pious streets, snd penetrating dwellings,
stores oud innumcrable Easements. creating
urea, alarm, and damaging add sweeping

The water rose suddenly nearly twenty
feet. ond poured into the streets, at one
time covering a space VI ground on the
Yves, side of the falls, extending west

and Calvert streets thence noriherly 10

unept 10 Baltimore street. thence running
around the corner Of Holiday into Balu-

extended sou,hwardly 10 Lombard. and

THE rLooD 1T FEEDgEICE.
Although there was no loss OF life in
Frederick, tic damage 10 property viii
reach over hall million OF dollars. The
GOOD arose from the sudden overflow OF
Carroll creek, a stream which passes
through that city. The extensive tan
ward of Messrs. Bantz and Loa;s were
completely cleared out Myers livery
stable and a number Of valuable horses;
Beck!oy's bakery and other buildings
were destroyed; also Hart & heefer $
lumber yard, and John Lips brewery.
All thc bridges across the creek have been
carried away. Below the town all the
mill dams IN Bush Creek Valley have
been washed out.
Mr.. BeckIoy and family remained up
stairs in his house until he found il mo-
wing with the water when he knocked a
hole through The roof and handed his fam
ily one by one to the roof of an adjoining
house, thus saved oil from q waiory grave.
ilr. Beckloy was lho last to leave the
housr, and as he stepped from his house
- tho adjoining one, his building washed
away with oil ne goods.

body was l!'cd by the force of the cur

The General LOSS.-Thc loss Of prop
erty, public and private, including gsner-
al damages within the area Of the food
will probably amount 10 several millions
CT dollars. The loss Of life so far, as a..
ccr,ainct, is confined 10 four persons.
I Had the food happened al night, as was
tie case at former great igcshet IN 1887
the destruction Of human life must have
been largely increased. On that occasion
some 20 lives were lost. Il is conceded
that this flood was Of greater extent Iaan
any which has occurred in Joucs falls,
not excepting the one OF 1917, remember
cd by the older Inhabitants. All along the
whole length Of Jones falls, for miles be-

Fact vs.. Figures.

Some Democratic newspapers are making Q
grea. hue and cry about what they srs pleased
to call the disfranchissmsnt of large numbers
of white voters 10 Tennessee and Missouri at
the last election. They siiege that l22, 96s
Democrats were disfranchised In Tennessee.
Let US see how this is Before thors was any
disfranchiscmsnt in that State, the largest
vote ever polled in that Commonwealth BY the
Democratic party was 70. o59. and the vote Of
this party at the recent Presidential election
was 3j, 900. In this view Of the question, 1t
may b. well to inquire how It Is that Ia. 1858
Democrats were disfranehised Such calcu-
IatiOns, it will readily DO seen, are as basele,s
n the fabric Of vision"
Now let Us see how this matter stands In
Missouri In 1850 the aggregate vote Of that
State was 1876, ,5ls We believe never before
or since has there been so large q vote pollsd.
OF the lG5, SIS vote, poiled In 1860, the Demo.
cratic party had COILS, and this year the
vote of the Democracy was nearly. II not quite,
up to this fsurej that Is, the Democratic party
at the recent Presidential election cast as large
avOte for Seymour and Blair, in Missouri, a.
it cast for both Douglass and Brsckinridgs In
1860.
Iu view Of these facts, what becomes Of the
buuconbe stories about tho disfrano nohisemsnt Of
the whites in Tennessee and Missouri The
story is a romance, and is simply but part
and parcel Of that clap-trap to which the
Democracy resort to prejudice the people
against the Union party.
