Christiana River overlooked It's banks
reaching the highest point attained
since the Centennial storm In 1875.
The water began ris ing early In tho
evening and continued to rise until 2
O'Clock Monday morning.
The houses owned by Mrs. Whit
ten, George Blest and the brick
house opposite them, occupied by a
colored family, were all flooded as
was also the store property OF A. G.
Weber. Water stood in A. G..
Webber's store and warerooms over
foot deep, while in the houses 1t
varied from two to four feet In depth
All whose properties were flooded

losses. These families were rescued
from what looked to be a dangerous
position at late hour on Sunday
night.
