AT WASHINGTON.
The Potomac Way Up and Great
Losses Reported.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Potomac
is booming here and gravest fears are
entertained by property owners along
the river front and in the lower sections
of the city. Last night, after fall of
rain almost equivalent to cloud-burst,
the lock gate at the end of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal was carried away
by the rising water and washed several
canal boats into Rock creek where they
were destroyed. Since then the river
has been rising rapidly and the flood
waters from Harper's Ferry and the
upper tributararies are swelling it
every moment. Along b street north, in
the neighborhOod of the center part of
the city, the country produce dealers
were driven out early in the day and
the street was turned into lake, full of
floating chicken coOps, market truck
and all sorts of odds and ends. Enter
prising, bare-legged urchins rugged up
TEMPORARY BRIDGES
and eXacted toll from people who were
obliged to pass between South Wash
ingtOn and the business part of the city.
Cellars were flooded and much damage
to property resulted among the commits
sion houses. Up in Georgetown the
scene along the river front was excit-
ing. The docks were under water, and
lumber, coal, cement, provisions and all
kinds of property was carried away.
Hundreds of men were actively at work
trying to save merchandise by remov-
ing it from the mills and warehouses
to higher ground. Swarms of river men
