The whistle Of the Hamburg hoisting
works was blown fully half IN hour on
Friday morning in hope to give warning Of
the approaching flood. Owing TO the dis
lance il was not heard in town.
1t will require several days work with a
force of men to repair the damage at Has
kell & Co. IS furniture warehouse.
The Hood Of Friday caused Clay Simms
to close the Corner saloon. 1t is the first
time in over four years.
Much more damage was lone to private
residences oil Spring street than was at
first supposed. Many families left their
homes and did not return to them until
yesterday morning, to find their houses
filed with water and slum, and their cloth
ing and furniture ruined.
Men were yesterday engaged in rebuild
ing the outer wall OF Mrs. Morgan's lot,
which was carried away on Friday.
The National Guard armcry, in the
American Exchange building, was yester-
day cleared of the s~lumgullion, which COW
eaed the floor about eighteen inches deep.
A teamster, who came in Thursday with
four teams loaded with grain, after unload
ing at Campbell's, on South Main street,
had two of his wagons carried of by the
food and completely demolished.
The water was yesterday taken out OF the
cellar of the Odd Fellows Hall, by cutting
a ditch connecting with the drain on Buel
street.
