to-day serving notices on property owners
in Washington avenue and adjoining
streets to appear at meeting to be held
on May 80 in relation to proposed public
improvements in these streets.
The rain storm of Saturday and Sun
day played great havoc with Washington
avenue at the New England railroad cross
ing, cutting deep channels down the steep
incline and making regular quagmire of
the place at the foot of the hill. Lanterns
were hung out to warn drivers of teams of
the danger ahead, all of which proves that
the work mapped out by Mayor Kilduff
and the road board in relation to the pro-
posed change of grade at this point. should
receive immediate attention. 1t will cost
considerable money to repair the damage
done by the freshet of the last two days at
this place, and then another days rain
will leave it impossible again.

unsuccessful attempts to raise a kitten
around the market and train it to remain

handsomest specimens of felines ever seen
around here, and has deputed Myron D..
Chatfeld to see that they receive proper
treatment. Mr. Chatield has been getting
a few pointers from Professor Welton and
has already succeeded in teaching the nest
of kittens q variety of tricks, which they
perform with great precision, to the de-
light of all his customers.

Fatality In Bedford County.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, May 21.-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
Greek and TreXler's have been swept

struction of bridges and washouts. At

90 foot flood in the west branch of the Sus-
quehanna river, and it is expected to reach

hour. The water is now standing on Main
street in this city. a-s

Bradford'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
O wide area
In the Sixth ward 90 families were taken
out of their houses in boats during the
night, and on Clarence, River and Hilton
streets a rescue corps with skiffs rescued
as many more Luckily there were no IA
talities.
A 13month-old baby fell into the east
branch and was being swept away in the
current when Thomas Potter leaped into
the creek and after desperate struggle
he saved the child.
The flood 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
Corridop street to Newell avenue, to Main
street and then down Davis street there is
a rushing body of deep water, and skiffs
ply from the Riddell House up and down
the streets. AT the Henderson House on
the ground floor there are six inches of
water. Twenty business houses on Main
street between Webster and the railway
are in still worse condition, goods in
these places of business having been badly
damaged, and the loss will aggregate
large sum. Sixty feet of the B., r. and
P. track just below the city's eastern lin,
have been washed out, and the trains OIL
that road come in over the Erie track from
Limestone.

rainst0rm for years, lasting over 48 hours,
has caused great food in the Geneseo riv-
er, and an immense amount of damage has

to IL inches an hour and only lacks Is
inches of the highest flood in 10 years Nc
lives are endangered yet. At Mount
Morris the water in the river has reached
point higher than at any time since
June, 1890. The depth of the water now
going over the dam at that place is nine
feet-a rise of six feet in the past "a hours
and still continues to rise.

Big Boom of Logs Lost.

At midnight, with the rain still falling,
the river had overlooked it's banks in the
central part of the city, and the water was
rushing up Market street and out onto
Third and Fourth streets, in the business
part of the city, where the cellars were
full of water. The height of the flood
then was "a feet, and it was estimated
that it would reach % feet from the pres
ent rainfall.
AS the rain shows no signs of abating, it
is feared that today may bring more ele-
ments of danger. Lyconing creek, which
brings more water from the north, was
bank full and coming up rapidly. 1t
comes in at the upper end of the city and
was the principal source of damage in
1889. The height of the river then turned
it out of its course and emptied it in from
north of the city, and it is feared that
there may be a repetition of that disaster.
The main boom of the Susquehanna
Boom company broke at half past 12
o'clock. There were $50 900, 900 feet of logs
confined there, and all of them passed out
and down the river. The loss will be more
than 800, 000-the value of the logs in the
boom-and will throw hundreds of men
out of employment.
