DAMAGE BY FLOODS
In MONROE COUNTY
The Loss Much Greater Than at First
Reported.
sHEARBAUGn's PIGS IN DANGER
The Storm the Most Disastrous
Known in Years in Paradise Valley.
Damage Amounting to Hundreds of
Dollars Along the Delaware Valley.


Special to The Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Pa, Aug. 6-The dam
age by the last heavy storm to the
northern part of Monroe county is
much more severe than was at first
thought. The rains began at 7.30 and
continued until 1890. During nearly
all the time it poured down in torrents,
swelling the mountain streams and
flooding the town.
At 10 o'clock an immense cave in
occurred near the Cresco depot, which
rendered the road from Priceburg i'm
passible. Much damage has been done
to railroad property at and above Cres-
co, delaying all trains.
Little damage was done at Canaden-
sis, beyond washing the roads. At
Mountain House several buildings
We're flooded and only the breaking of
the mill dam saved the residence of
Casper Buck, which was threatened
by water overlooking it's banks.
Several rescues of live stock are re-
ported, among the most peculiar be-
ing that of p. NJ. Shearbaugh, of Cres-
CO. About ten o'clock he found upon
going to the pig pen two pigs standing
in one end of the pen on two feet with
Juol lllt appearing dbONt
water Shearbaugh carried them to a
shed and saved his pork. He reports
the loss of several fowls.
Mrs. Dunbar, of Mountain House,
lost fifteen young fowls from the
flood
Reports from Paradise Valley are
that the storm was the most disas-
trous in many years. The big creek
overfiowed it's banks near the church
| and came down the main road tearing
out the road bed and bearing every
thing before it. Several bridges We're
swept away, foundations undermined
and other damage done. The damage
| to the roads will fall heavily on the
townships of Paradise and Barrett,
both of which have recently improved
the roads at great expense.
Damage to the amount of hundreds
Of dollars We're incurred along the
Delaware valley alone, by the late con-
! tinued rains.
County Surveyor G. G. Shafer, Of
Mountain House, says that the water
in Mill Creek, a branch of the Brod-
heads, was as high on Thursday as
the memorable October 10. 1869, when
a portion of the town was swept away.

to her illness from nervous prostration
the girls parents managed to keep her
home until late yesterday, when they
decided to permit her to go and declare
her choice, themselves or Saba.
The meeting of husband and girl
wife took place in the office of Mr..
Kearney's attorney. Saba was accom-
panied by about 100 of his countrymen,
anxious to see the outcome. They
awaited the issue outside and a large
crowd soon gathered. Brought face to
face with Saba, the girl was asked to
choose. She quickly decided. II love
John and will go with him." she said.
Her jubilant husband and four police
men escorted her through the crowd,
which gave a rousing cheer when they
made their appearance.

LOOKING FOR A LOST MAN.
Hundreds ofPeopie Securing Trevor
ton Mountains,

Shamokin. Aug. 6.--Hundreds of men,
women and children are securing the
mountains surrounding this place, try
ing to determine the fate of George W.
Tillet, son of David Tillet, former pro-
rrietor of the Royal Oak colliery. He
mysteriously disappeared Wednesday
morning. His sister last saw him dis
appearing over the brow Of hill close
to the homestead.
During the past year Mr.. Tillet COM
planned of headaches and nervousness,
and contracting a heavy cold, lapsed
into such an invalid state that since
March he has not been able 10 trans
act business. Miss Tillet wished to ac-
company the invalid, but he said it was
not necessary; that he would soon re-
turn to take his medicine. That was
the last seen of him and a search was
started when he did not return. The
Trevorton mountain has been secured
and twenty-siX airholes explored in
vain. 1t is thought that Mr.. Tilet
might have been affected with the in
tense heat, and, losing his bearings,
wandered aimlessly into the mountains.
