A BIG FLOOD AT BUFFALO.
Five Hundred Houses Inundated By a
Sudden FTCSbet.

The People Barely Able TO Escape In
Time to Save Their Lives-All Their
Effects Left Behind-2 500 Made
ss-Considerable Live Stock
and Poultry Drowned.
Buffalo, N. Y, Dec 16.-The greatest
food that has struck South Buffalo in a
score of years occurred last night and
this morning. Swelled by the heavy rain
and thaw of the past twenty-four hours,
Buffalo creek overfoRed its banks and
flooded five square miles of territory in
that section. The magnitude Of the dis
aster can scarcely be appreciated as yet.
Five hundred houses have been inun-
dated and $500 people rendered homeless.
The flooded district extends from the
intersection of Elk and Seneca streets at
the bridge over the river westward to
the Lehigh Valley bridge on Seneca
street, n distance of mile and half
and thence southwark about two miles to
the creek. Cazenovia creek became a
roaring torrent, rising over It's banks in
the country, but its main body of water
was deposited into the already swelled
and rapidly rising Buffalo river, half a

streams of rushing waters met in low
land, and the overflow found egress to-
ward the populated section in Elk and
Seneca streets. AS the water rose, the
people living in the low lands had TO fly
tor their lives. The food came so sud-
denly that household effects were left be-
hind.
LIVE STOCK DROWNED,
Live stock and fowl were drowned be-
fore their owners could lberate them.
People rushed TO the upper floors for
safety, and there awaited rescue All
this took place amid the fury Of a wind
and rain storm and in deep darkness,
which added to the terror of the people.
The police corps were kept at work all
the morning, and by noon nearly all had
been rescued, and as far as known no
lives were lost.
The main tracks OF the Lake Shore,
Nickel Plate, Rochester and Pittsburg,
and Western New York and Pennsylvania
railroads are completely under water,
ana trains are being run with danger. II
the food keeps on the tracks will be
washed away.
IT is not expected that the water will
subsde until the wind turns and the
weather changes.
1t is impossible, at this time, TO accu-
rately estimate the loss To property and
streets, but it will certainly exceed $780,
900. Every family in the district will
suffer loss. The freshet also did con-
siderable damage to the hipping in the

About His Attempt to Get Chairman
Vaughan to Talk Last Night.
HE MERELY WANTS TO KNOW.
He Thinks tho People Have q Right to
Know What the Terminal Committee
IL Doing aud What 1t Plans to DO In
the Future.

Are the citizens Of Providence to have
terminal facilities or are matters to drag
along indefinitely as they have done for
two yearsi
This is the question that occurred to
Mr. Millen, the councilman from the
Fourth ward. last evening.
The question was evidently bomb in
the camp, and the action that followed
has naturally aroused the interest OF the
citizens. To many of them Mr.. Millen's
proposition seemed not only just but de-
sirable.
Mr.. Millen was seen this morning at
bis store and discussed the situation
freely; Mr.. Millen is apparently con-
vinced that there Is some rottenness In
Denmark, and he wants to know what ir
is. He made few statements Of which
the following is substance:
This matter Is not a new one to me- /

think IL Is high time that something was
done about terminal facilities. have no
friends to reward nor enemies to punish.

THE action of some OF our council
committees dates back to the early fran

tions were delaying its report II this
committee had reported before the elec.
tion the position or the mayor on this
question would have been fully under
stood and his election would have been
made very probable.
Now the delay on this terminal ques-
tion Is very similar. IL has dragged
along for years, and think the taxpayers
OF the city and the community in gen
eral should know what the committee is
doing.
II made motion last night that the
committee on terminal facilities should
m AXE report to the City Council. Ny
motion was ignored and the motion To
adjourn was carried.
Il did this because there seems to be
an impression among members OF the
council themselves that we ought to push

is being done. They know very little
about 1t. They couldn't give me any
definite information OF what propositions
are being considered or when q report is to
be made. They agreed with me that we
should take some action and favored my
motion.

chairman OF the committee. He runs

together whenever he chooses.
