THE LIBRARY BUILDING.
The Building Committee COmpar-
ing Plans and Specifications.

The building committee from the library
board had secret session yesterday after
noon, and compared the nine sets of plans
for the proposed public library building to
be erected this season. Each architect is
given ample time to explain and illustrate
the technical points in the plans. Only a
portion of the plans have been examined as
yet. An all-day session will be held to-day
with view or hope of completing the
work. After the inspection has been fin
ished, the committee anticipates some little
trouble in making a selection, as all the
plans are excellent, and the comparative
merits are almost equal.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Henry F. Brown is a new Republican
candidate for mayor, who is receiving pretty
general mention among his friends. He
has never very actively identified himself
with politics. and consequently it is claimed
for him that he has made no enemies on
account of Over-zealous partizanship. which
cannot be said of many of his rivals.
-
The boom for George A. Bracket is re-
ceIving quite an impetus. The willy George
remains sturdily in the background, allow
ing his friends to urge his claim. He has
been tried and all are conversant with his
municipal administration policy. Upon
his record of 1875 he stands and points with
inordinate pride.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE.
Montreal and Vicinity Undergoing the
Sufferings of Flood.

Sufferings of IA Flood.
MONTREAL, Can, April 21.-The flood
now appears to he slowly abating, but the
water is still twenty eight feet above the
summer level, three feet higher than it has
ever reached before. Every store is inun-
dated and every street in the lower part of
the city has the appearance of canal In
Point st Charles and Guifentown every house
has from four to eight feet of water in it.
This is the poor quarter and the misery and
suffering is appalling. In st. Gabriel
houses are collapsing, the foundations being
undermined The river is running over the
country through the city by way of Cha
bolez square from the Lachine rapids, and
huge pieces of ice are being carried though
tn streets Two suicides have occurred;
one man, Doyle, had his house swept away
md lost all he had. He hung himself
in barn. Several deaths from fear ana
one or two drowning accidents are 10
ported.
The view one gets as he stands ON high
point of observation is striking From
Mount Royal, away to the southwest across
the r,ver the village of La Prairie is seem
app arently completely surrounded by water.
AT down the south shore of the river to st
lambert the houses stand with the water
all around them Tne river front OF St
Lambert cannot be distinguished for the ice,
which is pile up to the vtry doors of the
houses facing the river. On this side oi tho
river, from the foot of the rapids down to
Hocheiaga, the river eeems to be over the
banks. All of Point st Charles appears to
be under water
The Ice seems TO be piled highest between
Hochelaga and Longueii Nuns island oppo-
site the city, is completely submerged only
the two upper stories OF the convent appear
in above tie water The nuns are Obliged
to take refuge in the attic of the buildings,
and the blockade OF ice renders all access TO
them impossible.
In Guffintown, where the Irish popula-
ton is chiefly centered, 1900 persons have
been forced to the upper fats OF their houses
by the water and many are without fool.
Twenty -four streets are covered with water
to a depth of five feet In Point St Charles
and ST Gabriel adjoining, 22,000 peo-
pie are in the same predicament or
twenty four streets similarly flooded
They are principally mechanics and
laborers employed in manufactures
situated there and all Of which are closed by
the flood Terrible tales are received Of
suilerings in the surrounding villages, but
communication is cut off and assistance for
the present is well nigh impossible The
scene is quite as desolate as Monday a waste
of water stretching away in almost every
direction as far as the eye can
reach. Reports from Longueil state that
many people have been fearfully injured by
tho ice, which has come down with the
flood All about the village of St Lam
bert the ice is piled up half high as the
houses. st. Gabriel and Point St Charles
| are still completely surrounded and appear
to be under water.

PITTSFIELD, Mass, April 2l.-News of u
terrible disaster has been received here from
tie little town of Lee, situated on the tiou-a-
tonic river about ten miles distant The
details thus far received are very meaSre,
but are sufficiently full to SHOW that the
village has suffered a terrible calamity
About & O'Clock, Tuesday morning, without
the least warning, the dam at Mad

Just how many lives We're lost can not be

being sent to the scene Of disaster as rapidly
as possible.
1t is reported that many persons were
drowned in their beds The town of Lee
presented a terrible scene OF ruin Tuesday
morning.
LATER The village got its first news of
tho accident by seeing the Good pour down
its streets, the water being from four to six
feet deep, and bearing with it trees, parts
of houses and barns fences and every form
of movable property. People fled to the
sopes of the valley along which the torrent
was pouring and saw their houses moved
and topple about like chips in river The
flood passed East Lee and went on down the
road, destroying gardens, lawns, fences and
mo ing smaller buildings but had not power
TO utterly wreck large houses, though the
damage done will foot up many
thousands of dollars As soon as possible
the people went up the line Of the flood
toward the pond and found the ruin worse,
as they approached the starting point of the
torrent Three or four houses we're wrecked
and much stock was lost The explorers
have already found the bodies of eleven per
sons and from the knowledge of people who
lived in the track of the food, it is expected
that several more will lie found
Ths bodies recovered and identified thus
far are Mr. White and wife aud two young
daughters; Mr.. King and wife and King $
son and wife. Three people living in the
track of the food are missing. White car
