hours, and the streams are much swollen.
The streets are full of water, and the dam
age to property is heavy. At 1:3O Grove
| street bridge over Greenbrook in this city,
suddenly gave way while crowded with
people watching the flood. Six people
were rescued, but number are believed
to have persisted. Demea's kindling wood
| factory was swept away with one man In
| it. but he was rescued. Both dams at
| Scotch Plains are washed out, and the
water is four feet deep in the streets of the
village.
Within the city limits over dozen
bridges have been washed out, and great
damage done to private property. The
water is still very high and threatens de-
struction to large amount of valuable
property. There is no sign of the storm
abating. 1t exceeds any storm and flood
ever known in this vicinity.

in this city, and the last but one on Green
brook. is reported giving way. If it goes
out large factory and several other build
ings will be destroyed. The dam at New

out to-day, and further down stream
large pond stocked with valuable fish.
Telegraph poles set six feet into the earth
have been washed out by the torrents in
semo of the streets.
Eight persons have been rescued thus
far. Charles Winston is missing, and it is
scarcely possible that others are not lost,
as nothing can be told with certainty as to
the loss of life until the flood subsidies.

heavy rain has been continuous since yes
terday. The river is rising very fast.
Trains between here and New York are
much delayed by the floods in the Ramapo
valley, where the track is submerged in
places. 1t is still raining heavily.
PoUGEKEEPsIE, n. Y, Sept. 23.-The
storm is the heaviest known here for years,
and is still raging. Reports in this vicini

one to two hours behind. A double watch
has been called out along the entire line
of road. The construction work on the
west shore is badly damaged in many
places. The Catskill and Sangortiers creek
are rising rapidly. 1t is feared that when
the full force of the freshet is felt to-mor-
row morning, the loss along the interior
streams will be very heavy. The food
tides in the Hudson are remarkably high,
and the wind rising, and the rain falling
in torrents. In many places south of here
both tracks of the Hudson River railroad
are flooded, and there are washouts near
New Hamburg, and below Duchess juno
ton. Orders have been issued to lay all
freight trains on the side track for the
night, and night passenger trains are be-

is over five inches and the storm still con-
tinues, the rain coming down in torrents.
Many streets in Jersey City and Hoboken
are flooded by the heavy rains. In the lat
