OTTAWA, H., May 5.-The most disas-
trous and alarming food in the history OF
the city visited this locality last night.
In the "old town" of MarseiIles, small
bridge across Gum creek, lodged at the
mouth Of a culyert and blocking the
stream, backed the water up and flooded
the entire district. Many narrow escapes
are reported in flights for safety, but no
loss of life was entailed.
The low land in the residence and manu-
featuring districts of Ottawa, one and one
half miles long and from one quarter to a
mile wide, is q continuous lake. Small
bridges were carried away, culverts
washed out and railroad tracks washed
away, until connection with the out
side world was cut off. Between
Twin Bluffs and La Sale and
Genesee all communication was cut
off by washouts of tracks, culverts and
small bridges. 1t is estimated it will take
twenty-four hours TO re-estab.ish com
munication.
There were serious washouts near Ton
lea, and the main business streets were
inundated. During the afternoon the
water was receding rapidly at Ottawa, but
there were notable changes at LIE Sale and
Peru.
