TIE HORSE CARS.
The horse cars going down and com
ing up Main street yesterday did not
seem to care for the water. and went
right through. The water did not
reach the floor q the car. and passen-
gers rode with ease.
The electric cars went to the water
edge on each side Of the Jefferson ward
lake on franklin street and passen-
gers were transferred in boats. These
cars could not run through the water.

the operations Of the motors.
THE GAS WORKS.

yi0us occasion the waters came from /

his time the flood has been more local /
y centred. The creeks and tributaries /
II The James nearer TO US have caused
lac trouble.
Mr. Boiling went mp the Richmond

lay. The swollen condition of the
stream gave him uneasiness. and he sat
