pr1AwARs RIVER FLOODS.


BuRIINaroN. Aug. 2.-The severest and
most devastating storm that has occurred
In this vicinity for years is now prevailing
and the damage 1t has caused is almost In
ealeulable. The river has risen many feet
above the high water mark and Is still
rising. All the cellars near the stream are
filed with water and not ipfreQuently the
yards also are miniature lakes.
Probably those who have suffered most
are the farmers. Their crops have been
beaten into the ground by the rain, and
broken of by the wind while the roads are,
III some Instances, impossible, and they Gun
get nowhere TO do anything.
Grapes, on account OF the excessive wet
weather, are deeayipg; go Is the sweet
potato crop, and the sproutlng water
melons have been torn from the vines BY
tine heavy rain drops aud occasional hail
storms. Many other crops ars being de-
stroyed In a like manner. Milk producers,
too, are complaining. They say the raln
has rendered the pasture very poor, and
the grass contains no milk producing prop
critics.
The Sylvan lakes, two large natural res
ervoirs, situated 1850 feet allows tha river
aud one mile distant, are liKely to overflow
their banks at any moment. In the event
Of the occurrence, Wrightsyille aud SpTtug
Side, two suburban districts, will suffer
much, while the damage to farm land Will
be terrible. Tne most severe showers OF
the series occurred last ni4ht, causing
much damage to the already partially de.
etroyed roads and bridges. A portion OF
the Pennsylvania railroad NJ Birmingham,
between Evansville and PembertoD, was
washed out aud tbs Long Branch express
and the special Friday excursion rain
which usually goes by way OF Mount Holly
were both compelled TO 90 through this
city and by way of james burg.

Application Wade for mn Appro-
priation From the National Epi-
deiltc Fund.
WAsHISoTos, Aug. 2.-Dr. Benjamin
Lee, secretary Of the Pennsylvania State
Board of Health, has written President
Harrison, suggesting that some portion
of the national epidemic fund, which
now amounts.to over $l00, 900, should be
expended in dredging and diking the
Conemaugh river at Johnstown. DR..
Lee says that, owing to the filling up Of
the valley at this point by the deposits
of sand, earth and rock made by the
great food, Johnstown and the neighbor-
ing communities are liable to be over
flowed every time there is heavy rain.
The President has referred the letter to
Surgeon General Hamilton, Of the marine
hospital service, who will reply that
under the law applications for assistance
from the epidemic fund must be made by
the governor of the state. Even II Cover
nor Beaver should make the application
1t ia not probable that money would be
given from the epidemic fund for this
purpose.
