The Damage at Providence, r.
and Surrounding Towns.

PROVIDENCE, Feb. 13.-The damage by
floods and freshets in this city and State is
almost unprecedented. Mill dams and
bridges have been swept away on almost
every stream, and in some instances the dam
age is very heavy. Houses on the low land
in the rear of the village were completely
isolated, and wood piles floating over the
place, etc. At O'Clock the Harrisville
/ dam gave away, and the ice tore the side
and lower end of building out.
At Geneva the Woodyille dam has gone,
and the mill office has been washed away
The Corliss engine is moved from its foun-
dation, and much machinery washed away
or damaged to the value of $4,000 or $780,
000 The dam at Wakefield has given away,
flooding the lower floors of mills and carry
ing away the bridge.
From the Central Falls line to the Paw
tucket line, the river overfiowed its bank. the
water running into windows of buildings
above the bridge. The dam at Dyerville has
gone and at Allendale is Shaky as are those
at Enfield and Greystone. The condition
of railroads is unparalleled On none is
there any communication.
Providence and Worcester has doubtless
suffered most The boiler house, engine
house and buildings on the southeast side of
the river are all under water. Providence
and Springfield bridge near Oakland and
those at Dyerville and Centerdale are down.
The water pourS in torrents through some OF
the streets and several small building have
The Barney reservoir at Saylesville, which
supplies the Sayles bleacheries gave away
this morfing though men have been work
ing all night in the endeavor to relieve the
pressure. The first rush of water was so
tremendous that a fireman and an engineer
had desperate struggle for life, the latter, a
single man named Pitkington, was washed
away and drowned, and the other barely eS-
capped by clinging to a floating freight car.
Three large boilers were carried off, with
much cloth stock. A long stretch of the
MoshaSucd railroad was washed away, and
the store house of Lorraine mill filled with
wool and cotton was thoroughly flooded.
The Silerh0Ok bridge at Pawtucket has
is in danger. Many houses were flooded.
The water swept away the Wausuck dam at
O'Clock this morning, taking with it about
100 feet of the bank. 1t demolished the en-
gine house and undermined the side of the
mill office to such an extent it was necessary
to cut down portion of the Office in order to
save the building.
The Lonsdale mills at Phenix are protect
ed by Golfer dam of cotton bales, which has
partly stopped the overflow of these mills:
The lower weave shop is flooded. The card
room and lower weaver shop of the Lippltt
company is flooded, and it is expected that
the trench may give way at any time. The
Clyde bridge is gone. 1t is estimated that
houses of d. S. Tillinghust, John f. Miller,
Mrs Phoebe Payson and Mr. Fenner the
water entered the windows, and the in
mates were removed in boats.

At Other Points.

prevailed here yesterday exceeded the men,
orable freShet of 1876. Not only were the
wharves submerged, but the lower streets
were converted into rivers. The gas works
and electric light station were inundated,
and the streets were III utter darkness last
night. The waters, however, receded today.
TAUNTON, Mass, Feb. 1.-THE heavy
flood continues with increasing force. Every
bridge within the city limits is gone, except
tho iron one at the lunatic asylum, so that
there is no communication between the east
and west sides except by ferry. The city is
without gas, and in some sections without
city water. while water from Mill river is
racing through the streets with terrific force.
1t is believed that the loss to business firms,
railroad companies, mill owners, towns and
individuals in Norwich and vicinity will
aggregate quarter of a million dollars. If
the break in the Greenville dam is as great
as reported, it will throw from 5000 to 5000
people out of employment At Jewett City
700 persons are rendered idle
FALL RIVER, Feb. 10.-Reports from
Taunton say that all of last night fears were
entertained for the safety of the Whitenton
dam, the breaking of which would sweep
this forenoon while the people were at
church the alarm bells rang. Six feet Of
Whitenton dam had been swept away and
the streets had become rivers, the water in
many places being so deep and rapid that it
was impossible to cross the thorOughfare
Hundreds of people hurried to the dam,
and laborers, lawyers, merchants, business
men and citizens generally warked with pick
and shovel to repair the break and save the
city.
Their efforts were successful in repairing
the break, but not before tremendous dam
age was done.
ALBANY, N Y, Feb. 1.-THE breaking up
of the ice in the Mohawk and above Troy in
the Hudson, has damned the water here to a
great extent, and that portion of the city be-
loS Broadway is entirely submerged.
BRoCKToN, Feb 1.-THE damage here is
