bring discomfort or disaster. Besides that,
the river has reached its maximum. - feet

for several hours has begun TO decline 1t
bad fallen two inches by 10 o'clock this
morning. Reports from above show no
further rise. and without another rain.
which does not now seem near at hand, all
is safe One foot more Of rise would have
caused more than one hundred per

have invaded 50 many first floors Of build

much less than usual. because of the lessons
given i'm lSS3 and 1884, by the great floods Of
these years. Many manufacturers in Mill

compelled To stop for a few days and these

damaged by water but there are no houses
swept away and no lives in peril.
The wind has sent the waves against the
