Considerable Damage Done in New
Hampshire and Vermont.

Boston, March 2.-Dispatches from all
sections of New Hampshire and Vermont
report great damage to property by fresh
cts. The heavy rains of the past two
days have melted the snow that covered
the ground and rotted the ice in the riv-
ers, causing nearly all the streams to
overflow their banks. Highways are sub
merged, and railroads washed out in some
places, and traffic is badly interrupted.
The Connecticut, Merrimac, Passumpsick,
Concord, Nashua, Souhegan, Winooski
and other rivers are higher than for
years, and in most cases are still rising.
Mills along the river banks have been
flooded and will not be able to run I'M
til the water subsidies, thereby entailing
heavy loss.

dltiOn that forced the company into a

were not willing TO grant. The New York
firm made il a condition of the loan that

control to be secured to il through pool

policy of the board OF directors. To this
end it demanded the retirement of certain
members of the board, their places to
be taken by directors suggested by the
firm, and no director unsatisfactory TO the
firm TO be admitted. The firm refused TO
recede from it's position, and with no
other recourse left in which to raise funds
for current and pressing needs, the COM
pany was forced to the wall.
