rate Of ten inches an hour. The citizens

rapidly rising waters and read the predic-

Travel on all the street railways was
stopped at an early hour by the high water.
Later in the day the railroads were all
obliged to suspend all operations. Freight
was refused, and the postoftice authorities
were notified that no mails would be re-
ceived. Accordingly the locks were taken
of the mail boxes, and the public notified
so fur as possible not to mail letters at the
lamp post boxes.
All the depots were surrounded and
flooded to a greater or less extent, and all
railroad business at q standstill. The B.
