FLOOD IN BROOKLYN.
Huge Water Main Bursts a nd la mag G

Results.

New York, Dec. 12.-For several
hours Sunday an area of 20 blocks in
the Twentyeighth ward in Brooklyn
was inundated by raging waters, which
washed out the foundations of houses,
tore down trolley and telegraph poles
imprisoned people in their houses and
nearly drowned some who were caught
by the food. The damage will reach
several hundred thousand dollars; the
police think $500,000. The great water
main at Hobart street and Central
avenue burst at five o'clock in the morn
ing. This main is four feet in diameter
and when the pressure became too
great the water shot up eight feet in
the air, tearing hole in the pipe itself
seven feet long and half of its circum-
ference. For the first hour 100000
gallons. it is estimated, rushed through
the streets and there was little diminu-
ton for three hours. The flood came
so suddenly that several persons were
caught and three were rescued by life
lines. Every house in the 20 blocks
was flooded and a number of them so
badly damaged that they will fall if
they are not pulled down. Hundreds of
others were damaged so badly that it
will be a costly matter to repair them.
Ten families were homeless Sunday
night because the commissioner of
buildings would not let them enter
their shaky houses.

Was a Success.

The beet sugar factory at St. Louis
Park has closed its first run and the
experiment has proved a complete sue
cess. The mill ran night and day for
seventy-fve days, and daily average
of $50 tons of sugar beets were used.
About 100000 pounds of sugar were
manufactured, and nearly all was sold
in the Twin Cities So great was the
demand for the native Minnesota pro-
duct that the managers of the St.Louis
Park plant were compelled to go into
the market themselves TO fill requisi-
tions from outside points.
The farmers who sold beets to the
factory received on an average of 81
a ton and are well satisfied with their
part in building up the new industry.
One hundred and ten men were en-
ployed by the mill when in operation
Next year the mill will probably run
at least 100 days and use 400 tons of
beet roots daily. The managers of the
plant hope that the farmers will see
the ACCESSIBILITY of keeping the factory
well supplied. The beets raised this
year contained larges quantity of
saccharine matter than those of any
other state except California.
