The people in the lower part of the city are moving out and the wharvek at Rockets are under water. The extreme lower part of the city Is cut on. Owing to the fact that the wires are down along the James River division of the Chesa- peake and Ohio nothing can be learned definitely of the conditions above. Fears are entertained that the freshet here will be the heaviest in years.

TRAINS IN TROUBLE.
Heavy Rains Have Fallen Around
 Salnna


 Selma, Dec -(SpeciaD-Much rain has fallen in Selma during the past forty eight hours. In some places as much as five inches of water is reported to have fallen. The consequence is great many washouts and trains especially on the Selma and Pensacola division of the L.. and N, are reported to be in trouble. The passenger train on the above road, due to arrive at o'clock last night, had not come in at F m: today. and from present reports there is no telling when the road will be opened for traffic again. So far, no casualties have been reported, the only damage being to bridges and trestles.
 As result of the recent rains, the Ala bama River is rising rapidly. It now registers g feet on the water guage on the pier. and from the large quantities of driftwood passing down stream, 1t is known that the water is gradually rising. The coffer dams of the L. and N bridge piers are submerged and 1t is not likely now that the contractors will be able to do any more work until the water goes down in the spring.

SCHUYLKILL RIVER.
Freshet Caused by Heavy Rainfall
 Suspends Work.

Philadelphia, Dec. 30.--The rain which has been falling almost necessarily since Saturday evening has resulted in dam gerous freshet in the Schuylkill River.
 All of the big industrial plants along the Schuylkill at Manayunk and Norris town, near here, are flooded and work has been suspended. Traffic has not yet been seriously handicapped.
 1, In this city the river Is out of it's banks near the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Station. Cellars of dwellings are flooded and many residents along the river early today sought safer quarters.
 The new brick dwellings in Kensington in the northeastern section of the city, collapsed early today. having been un- dermined by the heavy rain. The houses were not occupied.
