THE CONDITION OF LAwRENcEBuRG.
Governor Porter returned from Lawrence
burg yesterday morning. 1.-THE condition of the
people" he states, twas much worse than had
expected. The houses are all submerged. The
people are living in the upper rooms, and large
number of families are huddled together in the
second story of the courthouse. No idea of
the condition of things can be given by
description The people had no opportunity to
save their furniture" The houses have many of
them been carried from their foundations, the
Governor states, and the town is almost com
plete wreck. The loss will fall heaviest upon
the poor people-the mechanics and laborers
and are left homeless, all their
property being carried down stream.
The houses which have not Ibeen carried away
entirely are most of them off their foundations
or have toppled over; but the full extent of the
damage cannot be learned until the water has
receded The people will be left almost helpless,
and will be greatly in need of all the aid that
can be .given, them. Their supply of food
is sufficient for all immediate needs, but
they will be dependent on the charity
of the public for several days after the
water begins to fall. Their greatest need of aid,
however, will be in replacing the houses which
have been carried away by the flood.
Horace Mckay, the internal revenue collector,
accompanied the Governor on his visit to Law
ren:eburg. To reach Aurora the train which
they were on had to run through
water from one to three feet in depth for con-
siderable distance. There is not house in Law
renceburg that is above ground In the court
house skiffs are tied to the banister of the stair
way and are rowed about in the building The
whiskey stored in the government warehouse is
floating about in the water in the building The
people remaining in the town are living in the
second stories, and are taking the situation
with philosophic complaceney The supply of
food is sufficient to last for several days and
there is no danger of any one starving, Mr..
Mckay thinks but they will be in great need of
help after the water has receded from the town,
because hundreds of persons will be left home
