The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1870-10-04


streets tile water was still too deep for the
passage of vehicles. 1t r6ceded rapidly,
however, during the night, and yesterday
morning found the river almost within its
usual bounds. The people in the lately in
undated districts worked like beavers in
clearing away the up-country mud from
before their houses and stores, and putting
their damaged stock and furniture to rights.
The water was still high last night, but not
higher than it often is, perhaps, once a
year.
LOSSES BY THE FLOOD.
1t is pleasure to state that nearly every
one who had property damaged by the flood
loses less than he feared when the water
was at its height. The estimate Of the total
loss, derived from reports furnished the
representatives of the press yesterday, may
be stated at S500, 900.

The damage sustained by the Tredegar
Works is but trifing, consisting chiefly in
engaged yesterday in removing the mud
which had collected. They will be able to
resume operations fully as soon rs the break
in the canal, from which they get their Wa
ter-power, is repaired.
Haxall, Crenshaw & Co.'s mills were but
little damaged, and they will be in opera
ton again in very few days.
J. K. johnson & Co., proprietors Of the
Richmond steam forge and rolling mill, lost
about 81 200. Their foundry was we'll lln-
der water. Work will be resumed, how
ever, early next week.
r. j. Smyth, ice. dealer, loses 81 800. He
had only five tons Of ice left, and lost also
fencing, scales, &c. He got his wagons and
horses off safely.
The loss Of G. Y. Morriss, sugar refiner,
Rockets, proves to have been very slight,
and the only damage is that done to the
machinery by the water. The building was
erected with an eye to such visitationS, and
braveIy defied the storm.
At Myers's warehouse, on 18th street,
where upwards of 1000 sacks of Liverpool
salt were stored when the water commenced
to Use, there remained nothing but u lot Of
empty bags, the contents having departed
to increase the stiffness of the briny deep.
Some of it will doubtless find its way back
to the shores of Hold Heng land.
There were some 1,5G0 sacks of agricultu-
raj salt lost in warehouse on the Dock,
and large quantity Of Pacific guano which
was stored at Lathrop's, on the Dock slip,
was destroyed.
A. S. Lees storehouse, at the lower part
of the Dock, full Of goods on consignment,
was completely inundated. His individual
loss was about 81 900 worth Of fertilizers.
The Buckingham slate Co.'s damage was
about $5 600.
:. c. TardY had upwards Of $50, 900 worth
of goods on his lower floors, but, like i
prudent man who seeth the storm gather
ing from afar, went to work with an extra
force Just as soon us the news of the rise
at Lynchburs was received, and worked
INCREASINGLY until everything was secured.
