DAMS CARRIED OFF,.
The Great New England Floods
Don't Abate.
Waters Have Reached the High
est Mark fol, Years.
MUCH PROPERTY LOST.
All Mills Along the Merrimac
Shut Down.
MUCH PROPERTY LOST.

BOSTON, April 1.-THE floods through
out New England last night reached a
higher point than has been recorded for
many years. No loss of life has fol-
lowed the rise of the waters, but great
losses of property have been caused
through dams being carried away, and
from flooded railway bridges, factories
and cellars. Telegraphic and telephone
communication has been seriously in
terfered with, and thousands of mill
operatives have been thrown out of
work temporarily by the flooding of
the lower portions of mills through
out this section. All the mills
along the Merrimac river near
Manchester are shut down, and
fears are entertained for the bridges.
This morning there was 1O1l feet of
water over the dam. The city of Ma
shau, N. H., is practically cut off from
the north, no trains or mails having
arrived for thirty-six hours. The cleo
trio light power plant has been forced
to shut down, and in consequence
many mills have been compelled to
shut down. Fully 1900 people have
been made temporarily idle. In the
eastern part of the city the streets are
under water. twenty-five thousand
dollars damage will result from the
freshet at Haverhill, Mass.
The dams of the S. D. Warre Paper
Co. at Portland, Me-, were carried
away yesterday. This is the most
serious damage reported in this state.
over G, 1000 men are thrown out of work.
A saw mill was carried away on the
Saco river and destroyed part of the
=
full of logs from many broken booms.
At Saco the mills have closed down and
the tenement house section of the city
is flooded, the tenants being COM
PEELED to move out during the night.
At Springfield many mills are down
and fears are entertained for the old
toll bridge.
SLIGHT LOWERING OF LAKE ERIE.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE action of
the Toledo board of trade in petition
ing the secretary of war to look into
the changes in the lake level likely to
be produced by the flow through the
Chicago drainage canal is condemned
by the drainage officials here.
Bernard Eckhart of the drain
age board said yesterday that the
talk on the subject comes from
the Lake Erie region, and IS the result
of sectional fears. The flow into the
canal will cause a slight lowering of
the lake level, he says, but not suf-
ficient to affect materially the depth of
harbors- The engineers report on the
matter, Mr.. Eckhart said, showed that
the average lowering of the level would
be inches, and not to exceed inches.
A COAL MINE ON FIRE.
; ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, April IRE
ports have reached here that one of the
mines of the Crescent Coal Co., at
Gallup, caught fire and fifteen men
were almost suffocated from the smoke
and gas. They were carried out of the
mine after the fire was extinguished.
Jim Flynn, the well known middle
weight fighter, who was to sign articles
to fight Billy Lewis here in May, was
one of the miners taken from the mine
in an unconscious condition.

Silver.

when the time of depression and string
ency comes, the calamity howlers get in their
work For instance, the old farmer whom |
met in West Virginia. strong sixteen to
one ner-said the decentralization Of silve:
had ruined him for thirty years ago he could
have gotten eighty dollars per acre for his
farm and was getting two dollars bushel
for his wheat, but since congress had demone-
tized silver his land had gone down to twenty
dollars an acre and his wheat to sixty cents a
bushel. Now, if that good old fellow would
take a trip into the northwest, the granary of
the world, which has all been opened up in
the last thirty years, and see the millions of
bushels of grain raised there and the great
trunk lines of railroad hauling the wheat
from the northwest to Baltimore, for fifteen
cents bushel, more or less, that good old
silverite of West Virginia would find out
| what hit him. The cheap lands of the north
west which produce forty bushels of wheat to
the acre have surely cheapened his land as
we'll as his wheat. But nothing could make
him believe, in the narrow world IN which he
lives. but that the decentralization of silver
had done the work.
