on the editor.-Elk River Star-News.

heavier than 1t was here and the streams
were filled. Rain fell all the morning and
this afternoon. Tho Roaring Branch that
runs through the village and along which
there was a stone brcakwater at the head
OF County street. broke through 1t. The
fire department was called out, but be-
fore they could do anything tho stream

resembles a raging river.
The cellar OF every house was flooded.
quito a number OF outbuildings were car

The Glastonbury electric railroad is
washed cut. a bridge and a number of
feet Of track on the Hoosick Falls electric
railway have been carried away and it
will be several days before cars can run.
There is a washout on the railroad so that
no mails have arrived since noon and
