PORT DEPOSITS PERIL
The Maryland Town Again Par
ticuv Submerged.
FORCED TO FLEE FROM CHURCHES.

Tho Flood Came So Suddenly That People
Were Obliged to Take Roads Back of
the Town to Reach Their Homes--The
Rise at Other Places.
PoRr DEPOSIT, Md, March 4-The dan
ger which has so long threatened Port De-
posit from the ice gorge in the Susque-
hanna river is now realized. The water
continued to rise steadily all Saturday
night and by morning was over the
wharves and had risen nearly to the tracks
of the Columbia and Port Deposit rail
road.
Tho condition of affairs continued until
II 80 o'clock, when the churches were
thronged Then all of sudden the Ice
piled itself up from ten to fifty feet high
diagonally across the whole river, in a
line from the center of Port Deposit to Q
point below tho opposite town of Lapidum
This move was Immediately followed by
rapid rise in the water of six feet or more
Services in the churches were promptly
dismissed, and the people had to take
ronds back of the town in order to reach
their homes, as the water was several feet
deep in the street.
AT O'Clock large masses Of ice from ten
to twenty feet thick broke loose and made
grand rush down the angry stream But
1t moved only about u quarter of u mile,
and then stopped, forming complete
gorge clear across the river At the same
time the strong current of the swollen
waters swept onward, and not being able
to get through the gorged ice rushed down
tho railroad tracks on tho Cecil side, fully
five feet higher than at any previous time.
Many observers We're out on the wharves
and they were compelled to run for their
lives. In a few minutes only the places
where they had stood were six or eight
feet under water, which rushed onward Mt
Il mighty rate and flooded the ground
around back of tho town hall, which is
the highest point yet reached. ~.
The town was in critical condition. 1t
was only question of how long the huge
barricadc across tho entire river would
hold. As it is impossible to get from the
center of tho town to the Inundated places
no estimate of the damage can be made.
On account Of the wreck Of poles and
wires Port Deposit was all night in dark
ness us well as danger
