FOUNDATIONS RUINED.
Inealeulable Damage Done by
the Storm in the Ber-
gen Section.

Along Bergen avenue and in many OF
the side streets the handsome terraces
We're transformed into mere series OF
unsightly ruts. 1t will cost hundreds of
dollars to repair the damage done in this
manner alone
Bake shops all over the city were
flooded and the supply of bread today is
not equal to the demand. The bake shop
of John Hebig. al No. 180 Monticello ave-
nue.. was flooded. The water poured in in
torrents and quenched the fires, destroyed
the barrels of flour and drove the bakers
from their work. The several ovens were
damaged to the extent Of $50 each. Frick $
and the other bakeries along Monticello
avenue were also damaged.
On Bramhall avenue, from No. $50 to
No. 704, the sidewalk was washed away
from the flow of water from Jackson
avenue. 1t was impossible for trolley
cars to run to West Bergen save at long
intervals last night. Perfect rivers flowed
down from all the side streets upon West
Side avenue, washing the earth from be-
meath the car tracks and flooding the
street to a depth of several feet. In the
depression beneth the West Side avenue
bridge of the Newark and New York
Railroad the water was eight feet deep.
Persons wishing to get to the other side
were forced to climb over the railroad
embankment
The foundations of many of the houses
on West Side avenue near the railroad
were destroyed. Saunders store was
nearly washed away. The West Side
Avenue N. e. Church was damaged con-
all new. buildings in course of erection on
the hill has been stopped and men are
out
jackson avenue was flooded last night
and the novel spectacle was seen of peo-
pie crossing TO their homes on RATS or
being carried over on mems backs for
twenty-five cents a piece. The wretched
years have vainly been asking the city
to repair, could not carry off the surface
water and it poured into cellars OF the
houses doing an enormous lot of damage
and the city will be sued to foot the
bill
For hours Jackson avenue from the cut
to Communipaw avenue was a lake and
where the thoroughfare is depressed the
water was nearly two feet deep. People
coming west from the trolley lines were
in a nice predicament particularly at the
Bramhall avenue crossing The women
stood dismayed on the sidewalk while the
men tucked up their trousers and plunged
across.
Two enterprising stalwart negroes with
an eye to business nailed two planks
together securely, fastened a chain across
them and carried it out to the street
Here We are ladies who's gwine across
the ocean?' they shouted and a small
natty looking man said.
How much?''
"A quarter" was the reply and the offer
was at once accepted. In two hours the
ferry netted several dollars and the
negroes are seriously thinking of fling
articles of Incorporation. for THE jackson
Avenue Transatlantic Steamship Com
pany.''

BMBAuKhENF COLLAPSE
Trains Delayed for Hours on
the Newark and New York
Railroad Music in
the Air.

The trains on the Newark Branch of
the Central Railroad in this city had a
hard time of it last night in the raging
storm, and many of them were storm
bound for over four hours The passen-
gers who live in Newark and who expect
ed to reach home in a very short time
on the trains did not make their destina-
ton. until long after midnight, being
kept prisoners ON the trains. The last
train on that branch to get through the
cut left the Jackson avenue station at
exactly half past sevens bound for
Newark. About ten minutes later the en-
bankment which rises to height of forty
feet on each side gave way and the rocks
and masonry and mud were sent hurting
down on the track with terrible crash
causing block on the road for over five
hours Anything like this has seldom
been seen before. If a train had been
passing at the moment that the rocks and
embankment gave it is doubtful if any
of the passengers would have escaped
with their lives, for the heavy rocks would
certainly have crashed through the roofs
of the cars.
People in the Bergen section say they
never saw more rain in their lives than
that which came down last evening. The
railroad officials hadn't the slightest idea
the road ws blocked as they continued to
send trains out en- their regular scheduled
runs. Several trains going in each direc-
ton reached the vicinity of the cut about
eight O'Clock. The engineers ran the
trains slowly at that point being on the
lookout for washouts, and keeping their
eyes on the brick embankments which
form the walls on each side. They did
not see the mud which had been washed
down by the terrible storm onto the
tracks, because of the fast rain that
descendea When they reached the cut
just before coming to the Jackson avenue
station, there the trains stuck fast. The
engineers pulled the throtles open wide,
but the engines refused to bulge.
Several of the engineers went out to in
stopping of the engines, and while doing
10 the earth and water came pouring down
from the banks SO that the wheels of the
engines were buried in short time. II
was impossible to go back and by this
time the cut was literally transformed
into river carrying with 1t mud and
stones Several Of the Drawer passengers
tried to wade through it, but they didn't
get very far as the water rushed down
so fast that it threatened to drown them
and almost carried several Of them off
their feet
On the train bound for Newark were
about fifteen performers who were to ap-
pear at the various music halls In

water worked its way down through the

dinary circumstances, it is contended,
the roof would not have leaked.
