Dradrord's Streets Navigable.

BRADFORD, Pa, May 2l.-The worst flood
in Bradford's history is rushing through
Tuna valley. Twenty streets contiguous
to the creek are inundated, and hundreds
of families are in the swim much against
their will. For four days and four nights
rain has been falling here almost inces-
sanity. and the mountain streams have
been swollen to raging torrents. The east
and west branches of the Tuna, which join
their forces here, are both transformed
into good sized rivers. Their waters over
flow the banks and on the lowlands cover
a wide area.
In the sixth ward 90 ia miles were taken
out of their houses in boats during the
night, and on Clarence, River and Hilton
streets a rescue corps with skitfs rescued
as many more. Luckily there were no IA
talities.
A l8month-old baby fell into the east
branch and was being swept away in the
current when Thomas Potter leaped inte
the creek, and after desperate struggle
he saved the child.
The food of the east branch covers the
territory over which run the Erie Railway
company's tracks. the Western New York
and Pennsylvania tracks and those Of the
Bradford, Bordwell and Kinzua railway
Webster street is navigable by boat. Across
Corridor street to Newell avenue, TO Mair
street and then down Davis street there il
a rushing body Of deep water and skihi
ply from the Riddell House up and dowr
the streets. At the Henderson House OF
the ground floor there are six inches o
water. Twenty business houses on MaiI
street between Webster and the railway
are in a still worse condition, goods il

damaged, and the loss viii aggregate

HUNTINGTON. Pa, May 2l.-The Juniata
river and the Raystown branch have risen
% feet, flooding the low lying farms and
imprisoning entire families, who cannot
be reached in their homes. Portstown, a
suburb of this town, was flooded to the
second floors OF the houses, and Allegheny
street in this city was submerged. The
Gas company's works here have been tenn
porarily abandoned to the rising waters,
and many residences and business houses
are flooded to the second floors. The new
iron county bridges at Mapleton, Mill
Creek and TreXler's have been swept
away.
A landslide near Ryde station, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, is covered TO the
south tracks for three-quarters Of mile,
and the tracks below this city are washed
out. The country approaches to Hunting
don have been closed to travel by the de
struction Of bridges and washouts. AT
Stonerstovvil, Bedford county, Mrs Jacob

belongings, was drowned Whole farms
on the Raystown branch have been prac
tically ruined, buildings and fences car
ried away and crops destroyed.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, May 2l.-The greatest
storm since the big Hood Of 1889 has ceased
and early light disclosed flooded streets
and alleys aud cellars full of water. Mer-
chants were busy all night getting goods
kept i'm cellars TO high places, where the
water cannot damage them. About 5000
worth of timber belonging to the Cone
maugh Lumber company broke loose and
was carried away, tearing two bridges
down and causing great damage
Fifty feet of a stone wall along the Cone.
maugh river was washed away, and crops
In the vicinity were ruined, entailing loss
of thousands of dollars. Reports from Eb
ensburg say that the heaviest rise since
1859 is there. Bridges across small streams
are swept away. The report says that the
farm crops are washed out, and everything
is a dead loss The rain at Ebensburg still
continues, and the river is likely TO be
again much swollen when the streams
from the north empty into it,.
The widening of the river bed here is the
only thing which has prevented a heavy
loss. Tom c. McEetters. a lad l3 years old,
was drowned in the Conemaugh river while
trying to ride on a log.

Neither can the natural waters Of Carlsbad,

the cheap substitutes offered to a guileless

thereon, by these interruptions dealers.
No one would buy artificial wines know

bad products, when your health is at stake /?
The Carlsbad Sprudel Waters are a specific
for all diseases Of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. and have been used with great benefit by
hundreds of thousands Of people. The Carls-
bad Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated from
the Sprudel Waterat Carlsbad, is an excellent
Aperient, Laxative and Diaretic; is an alter
ative and 'eliminative remedy, which dis
solves tenacious bile, allays irritation, and
removes obstruction by aiding nature, and
