nominally for some years. In 1878 the con-
troll and management Of the concern passed
into the hands Of the present managers. MIR.

churches, the establishment of Sunday
schools and othei phlanthropic enterprises.

operations and railroad enterprises. In con-

jected the network of railroad which now
covers Long Island. Mr.. Poppenheusen

Hartford health officer has declared that lie
will prevent any temporary storage OF the

Petcrsvllic, Ontario, Overwhelmed by
FIoOd-fearfuI Loss OF Life.

A terrible disaster occurred IN the Thames
River Valley, around London, Ontario,
Wednesday morning. Tuesday evening at
six O'Clock II storm broke which lasted I'M
til three O'Clock a. M, attended by ncessant
heavy rain, lightning of startling vvidness
and thunder which broke like "A thousand
parks Of artillery. The night WAS one Of
terror and dismay, on account of the
tempest raging. Nothing like 1t hat occur
red within living memory; but toward
morning the residents Of the flats west of the
city traverscd by the River Thames were
ovcrtuken by Il catastrophe which is proba.
bly, unprecedented in the Province OF On
tario. Two hundred buildings were over
whelmed by Il torrent and fifty persons are
reported missing
About two o'clock a. m. the school bell in
the village of Petersvlle,a suburb Of London,
began 10 clang an alarm, which in due time
was taken up by the city fire bells. The
morning was calm and still after the storm,
80 that citizens when aroused by the bells
heard the air filed with shrieks und cries,
mingled with the sounds of vigorous chop
ping with axes. The thriving suburb named,
comprising about 1909 souls, had been sud
denly overwhelmed with torrent, caused
by tremendous cloud-burst some dozen
miles up the country. The water rolled
down in one iesistless wave, raising the river
to l2 feet above ordinary flood mark and
destroying about 200 dwellings.
The Horrors of the Flood.
The village the next day presented pic.
ture of sckenng ruin, brick houses being
leveled and fame ones either carried bodily
down stream or lumbled over aud over and
left in incx'rcable confusion. The people
took refuge on The roofs OF buildings that re-
NAMED standing until relieved by men with
boats, which work occupied six hours. Many
of these people had to cut their way through
the roofs with axes, SO sudden was The catas-
trophe.
Men who left home to rouse the neighbors
found themselves borne away on the crest Of
the flood, while their houses and little ones
were carried OFF by the same mad current
