The freshet in the Kennebec reached its high
est point Thursday morning between SIX and
seven o'clock. The causeway was covered with
water almost the entire length and the cellars of
the stores along Water street from Rogers cor
ner to the post office, were flooded, there being in
some OF them four or five feet of water. The
damage to goods was not heavy, most Of them
bavIrg been removed The day before.
The skating rink, which furnished so much fun
for the boys and girls week ago, is hopelessly
ruined. The fence IN the of the stores is
broken down, the dixie badly damaged, and the
building occupied for an office, recently purchased
of the Bradstreet Brothers by the Grand Army,
was swept off by the waters, and now lies on the
dixie of the mill pond, near The causeway. The
building, as it lies, was sold Thursday afternoon
to F. b. Curtis, for $50. The loss to the Grand
Army will be several hundred dollars.
Richards K Co., had about 800 tons, and the
Copsecook Paper Co, about $50 tons of coal
screenings fer the use OF their respective mllls
during the winter, piled up on BeIty's wharf
where it was recently discharged from vessels,
most OF which was washed away by the rising
flood and is now strewn along the rivers bed.
The loss will be doubly heavy as the coal must be
had for winter consumption. and the cost of freight
by cars will be much greater than by vessels.
