APPALLING DEVASTATION.

Banks and InfIict Great Loss.

The Green Mountain Rivers Break Their
Banks and Infiict Great Loss.
SPRINGFIELD, Vt, June 10.-This vii
lage has been visited by another disastrous
flood, the second within eleven months. At
noon yesterday moderate rain fell, but an
hour later storm of terrific force broke
upon the village. A storm was also
in progress about five miles
north, and high wind that changed
in few minutes from south to north and
then back again drove the two storms to-
gether. Rain came down as If mighty
river was falling from the heavens. and the
hill north of town, that slopes west to Black
River and east to creek, sent torrent of
water toward the town. Warning was at
once given, but so rapidly did the water rise
that few had time to save anything, and
were forced to flee for their lives. The
channel of the creek soon became filled with
wreckage of houses, barns and other build
ings, which forced it in other directions.
One stream plowed through the Springfield
house, another through Hart Il Dodge's
livery stable, and another through
Ellison Bros. stage barn. The ind
vidual losses and damage to the high
way reach at least $50, 900. In some places
the highways are Quilted twenty-five feet
deep, and some houses in the village have
four feet of mud in them. Just across the
Cheshire bridge barn was blown down,
killing William Parker and family, and in
Espring a woman named Bella Spaulding
The storm ragged over three hours.
SPRINGFIELD, VT, June .1O.-The food
required this morning. but the pathway for
the water had been cleared. and conse-
quently further damage was averted. Main
street is washed out in places to the depth
of fifteen feet. Wagon travel is impossible
The loss is about $50,

and One MortalIy Wounded.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 10. "A frightful
accident happened near Lettsdale, Pa, on
the line of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Rail-
road about half-past six o'clock yesterday
morning, by which two persons were in
stantly killed and another received
fatal injuries. A party of five
strolling Italians were tramping toward
this city on the railroad tracks when a
freighttrain came along, and or stepping
off to avoid it three of them were struck by
the Cleveland Express, coming in an oppo-
site direction. The express was running at
high rate of speed and the victims hurled
twenty-five feet in the air. Dominic
Capric, aged forty, was lodged in the cross
arms of telegraph pole, and when taken
down life was extinct.
His son Joseph, aged Is, had his skull
crushed and his back broken. His death is
supposed to have resulted instantly. Do
mimic Brown had both legs broken and was
injured internally. He was brought to this
city and placed i'll the West Pennsylvania
