Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-05-22
In House and Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The senate held
an eight hour session from 10 in the morn
ing until in the evening. The entire time
was spent debating the proposed senate
duty of 40 cents per ton on iron ore. The
house bill placed iron ore on the free list,
and the Republicans took occasion to taunt
the Democrats with Inconsistency and with
being false to their pledges to give the
country free raw materials when they OBJ
tanned control of the government. Some
very sharp encounters occurred. Only one
vote was taken-that on Mr.. PETERS
amendment to transfer iron ore to the free
list. Senator Hill of New York was the
only Democrat who voted in favor of it.
The others stood by the caucus and voted
against it with the Republicans.
The early part of the proceedings in the
house was devoted to legal discussion
concerning an amendment declaring that
the statute which directs the sergeant-at-
arms to make deductions from the salaries
of members on account of absence had
been repealed. The chairman ruled the
amendment out of order, but was in turn
overruled by the house on an appeal. The
amendment was then adopted. The Dem
ocrats declared that separate yea and
nay vote on the amendment would be de-
manded in the house. In the morning Mr..
Paul J. Sorg, recently elected to succeed
the late Representative Houk of Ohio, was
sworn in

damned Against the Bridge.

PHILADELPHIA, May %. - Six three
masted schooners and canalboat were
carried from their moorings in the Schuyl-
kill river by the flood and jammed against
the South street bridge. The Mary Lord,
one of the schooners, was sunk in the mid
channel. The others were more or less
damaged, and their weight threatened to
carry away the bridge. The schooners are
the Mary Lord, Captain Lord, Bangor,
Me-; Aston, Captain Lunt, granite paving
blocks; Light of the East, Captain Smith,
granite; Laurel, Captain Robinson, gran
tie; Mary G. Stuart, Captain JOY, empty
all from Franklin, Me.--and the Robert J.
Barr. The canalboat was loaded with
sand. The bridge is about 200 feet long
exclusive of approaches. Three iron spans
are stationary and connected by 300 foot
draw near the west end.
Superintendent of Bridges Carl A. Trik
and Watchmen James Carr, John Wiler
and John Conway were in the engine house
of the draw when the break came, and
when they saw the mass of shipping rush
ing toward them they stuck to their posts
at the risk of their lives and opened the
draw, hoping that the schooners would
pass through. 1t took but a minute for
the swift flood to carry the vessels down
upon them.
The Lord struck first and ran directly
against the pier upon which the engine
house and pivot of the draw rested. A
hole was stove in her side, and she began
sinking rapidly. Her captain and six men
were aboard her, and the captain of the
schooner Rundlett, which was moored to
an adjoining wharf sent out yawl and
rescued them. The Lord went to the bot
tom half an hour after she struck

Damage Done by Water.

BRADFORD, Pa, May 22.-The water
which covered 20 of Bradford's streets tc
the depth of several feet is receding and
it is believed the flood has spent it's force
The property loss here is at least $12, 1000
There was no loss of life but there were
numerous narrow escapes. A panic was
caused by the report that the waterworks
reservoir, seven miles west Of this place,
had burst. Men, women and children fled
precipitately to. the hills for safety, and
the widest excitement prevailed until the
rumor proved to be false. The Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg tracks have been
washed out east of here, and trains have
not resumed running. Much damage is
reported by the flood at Olean, Dunkirk,
jamestown, Cory and other places. The
water is now falling at Oil City, and no
danger is apprehended.

THE DAMAGE AT WILLIAMSBURG.

Not Until the River Had Made New Flood
Mark Did the Waters Begin to Fall.
Waves That Tapped the Second Stories OF
HOuses-No Lives Known to Be Lost.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-Advices from
the flooded districts this morning indicate
that the storm has spent its force, and that
the waters have begun to fall in those To-
calities where the danger has seemed great
est. Other places further down the swol-
len streams are threatened, but the worst
is probably over.
At Williamsport the Susquehanna has
made a new record of 35 feet above low
water, which point was attained at z
o'clock last night. For an hour after that
time the flood was stationary, and then it
began to recede slowly, showing recess
sion of one foot at that hour. When the
flood was at it's greatest height, the water
stood eight feet deep in front of the court
house in Williamsport The damage in
that city will, it is thought, reach 81 $780,,
600.
Sunbury is threatened with complete in
undation, as the water there is rising very
fast, but as the people have had ample
warning it is hoped that the damage to
life and property will not be serious.
At Remove and Lock Haven the flood is
rapidly receding, and no further apprehen-
sion is felt The same is true of Shame
kin, Duncannon and other points which
have been visited by the flood.
Railroad communication, which has been
greatly impeded, is being restored, and I'M
less there is fresh rainfall of considerable
dimensions the flood in the central portion
of the state may be said to be on the wane.
In Philadelphia rain fell steadily all
day, and the Schuylkill rose in proportion,
its waters having long since left it's banks
to the great detriment of adjacent prop
erty.
The Baltimore and Ohio passenger de-
pot, the produce depot and many manu-
featuring establishments along the banks
of the Schuylkill are flooded, while boat
houses by the score have been washed
away. One vessel has been sunk, and six
others are in great peril from the flood.
Reports of the flood throughout the
Schuylkill Falley give information of the
gravest character. The great iron and
steel mills that line the banks of the
stream are almost all under water, and
hundreds of acres of farmlands are mum
dated. At many points people have moved
from their houses to higher ground. The
Reading railroad tracks are inundated
along their Norristown branch.
At 2 o'clock this morning the Schuylkill
was falling slowly and was about a foot
lower than its maximum height. The
city gas works at Twenty-fourth and Mar
ket streets were flooded and have stopped
work. The ships at the West street bridge
are in the same position as at nightfall
and are in no greater danger unless the
flood tide should wreck them.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-05-22
The Damage at Olean.

OLEAN, n. Y, May 22.-The flood is a
thing of the past, but it has left traces of
it's visit in this section. From Gordon's to
Portville, distance of three miles, as
thickly settled as a residence street, not
three houses escaped being flooded Many
houses had 10 feet of water in them, and
others were swept away. The entire dis
lance resembled one vast lake. All the
stores were flooded, and in the Postal tele-
graph office the water was within an inch
of the instrument tables The water drove
scores of people from their homes and
ruined all their household goods. No
trains arrived or departed from here Mon
day.
1t is reported that number of bridges
went out between here and Emporium on
the Western New York and Pennsylvania,
and at South Carrollton there were two
feet of water in the depot The National
Transit pump station had to shut down.
as did also the Wilson roller blind factory
and every factory in the city Men worked
hard to save the big river bridge which
was taken out in 1889 and placed two feet
higher when rebuilt. Business was prac-
tically suspended here, and people were
clustered around in groups wondering
what would come next. Fully 10 miles OF
the Bolivar route was under water from !

a flock of sheep standing in water which
he cannot rescue, while another reports a
drove of Is horses standing in water up to
their necks where he cannot get at them.
At Mount Morris the water reaches out
over the lowlands for miles, and many
large farms are completely under water.
There are 10 feet of water coming over the
dam, and trains north on the Western
New York and Pennsylvania railroad are
abandoned, owing to washout. The farm
known as Bumps island is entirely under
water, the stock having been rescued with
difficulty.
From Evansville the report comessthat
the Evansville and Mount Morris railroad
has suspended operations, owing to wash
OUTS and that the loss to crops will reach
fully 1926, 900. The stud at the fair grounds
has been moved out to high ground, and
thousands of acres are under water. At
Belfast dead cattle, piles of lumber and
large RATS of logs are to be seen floating
down the river. No mail was forwarded
or received yesterday, and the roads are
impossible. At Canadice the track is I'M
der several feet of water. At York the
Oxbow farm and the flats are entirely COW
cred, and no fences are to be seen. Forty
five head of western steers on Gilmore's
flats were forced to swim the river and are
now safe
