BY FIRE AND FLOOD.
The Village of BoundbrOok Cut OF From
the Outside World.

Boundbrook, n. j., Thursday night ex-
pcrienced the most dreadful calamity in
its existence. 1t was swept by both fire and
food. The water from the Raritan river ran
through the streets and at 3 o'clock u. IN.
was nearly ten feet high In the main street
The food was caused 10y the heavy rain
fall overlooking the Raritan river. The
water In the meadow brook, about u quarter
OF mile from the heart OF Boundbruok,
ovcriiowed IT'S banks. IL swept on both sides
OF the Central railroad bridge, The water
rose higher than the bridge aud rushed out
from the tracks. The surrounding country
for quarter OF mile was flooded.
The three main blocks IN the village were
flooded, and while the citizens were trying 10
rescue, men, women and children from the
houses that were in danger OF being swept
away by the food "a fire was discovered.
The fire was first seen In the lumber yard
OF l.. l.. Cook & Co. An alarm was turned
in, but volunteer ilremen thought more OF
human life than property. and they sent
word To Someryille and Plainiield for assist
ance Engines started from the two places
for Boundbrook, but they had not got far out
side the limits OF their respective towns when
they were forced 10 return on account of the
roads being impossible. No attention was
paid to llghting the fire by the villagers. All
OF them directed their efforts toward rescu-
ing those who were imprisoned by the food.
Rowboats We're secured and attempts made
to take persons from the second story
windows OF their houses, but they could not
be got out.
