Fond du Lac, Wis, Badly Flooded.
A.speoial of the 22d says: AT intervals
during the entire week Fond du L C has
been visited by the most terrific transforms,
accompanied by heavy wind. Last night
about 1890 the heavens seemed to open and
a deluge Of rain fell, sweeping all light ma
terial before it. This was kept up a good
share of the night, and at the dawn of
morning everybody wal of the opinion that
6 heavy rain had prevailed. They little
knew what was in st6re t8r them. The US
ual large number Of people wendell their
return their homes would he flooded and
carpets and furniture ruined; but
auch was the case. At about IL
a. III. several dams on Geneva creek gave
way and the vast quantity of water which
was thus confined swept the entire eastern
portion of the city. The roar of the water,
as it rushed along, receiving teinforcements
at every loot, could be heard over great pOr-
ton of the city Upward of 200 dwelling
houses are submerged more or less, accord
ing to location. For Two hours the water
continued to rise until it was a depth of
three feet III the middle of the streets. At
this writing 1t is gradually reeeding. The
water travelled with such velocity that it
tore up the Division street pavement and
the lower end of the street, and washed it
away to a depth of several feet, and still it
raine.
