DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD
New York and Pennsylvania
In Grip of Great Storm.

pnir-Otber states suffer
In Less Degree,

UTICA, n. Y, Dec. 16.-A phenome-
nal raise of the Mohawk river has
caused the destruction of thousands of
dollars worth of property as well as
privation and distress among hundreds
Of families along it's banks.
Several days of warm weather sent
the snow and water from the hills into
the river in torrents. This, coupled
with a heavy ranstorm during Satur-
day night, swelled the river nine feet
above its normal water line. and the
city and its suburbs are under water
for miles. All trains were stalled by
washouts at Oriskany, Greenway and
Rome. One hundred feet of track and
bed was washed out four miles east OF
Rome, and no trains can enter the city
from that direction
The streets in East Rome are under
three feet of water, which swept away
1000 feet of road leading to Stanwix.
People were carried from their homes
in boats. A serious break in the canal
feeder at Delta occurred at noon. Two
bridges were carried away, and the vol
ume of water when it reached Ridge
Mills; six miles below, swept 200 feet
of the main road into the river. Many
families are without fuel, and the city
lieve the suffering.
At Oneida the heavy rain raised Onei-
ia creek until it overlooked it's banks
and flooded the eastern portion of the
city. Cellars were filled, and the water
was from one TO three feet deep on the
first floors of residences. The ontario
and Western railroad tracks We're COW
cred for nearly mile. The fire in the
engine of a passenger train was put
out, and the train stalled in the water.
The tracks have been repaired. The
damage will probably reach $4,000.
West Canada creek overlooked its
banks and washed away bridges at No
blebOrO and Trenton. The dam of the
Hinckley Fiber company at Hnckley,
n. Y, gave way and released 10000
logs. The logs took away the false
works of new bridge on the Mohawk
and Malone railroad at Poland and also
a highway bridge between Poland and
Newport. A number of bulkheads were
carried away, and many manufactures
along the creek were flooded. The dam
age is estimated Al $4,000.
The dam at the electric light plant at
Morrsvillc burst. dcmolishing three
houses and three barns. The place will
be in darkness for two weeks. \ dis
patch from Marathon, Chenango coun-
ty, reports greatest flood damages in
forty years, amounting to many thou
sand dollars
At Syracuse Onondaga creek rose six
feet in nine hours and, overlooking
its banks, spread devastation in all di.
rections. Five hundred families were
driven from their homes by the delugc
and as many more were excited almost
to degree of panic. Property was
damaged to the extent of S250000. The
damage resulting from the storms and
floods in the villages and cities ada
cent to Syracuse is enormous.

CORNING, n, Y, Dec. 16.-The Che
mung and Canisteo valleys have had
the biggest flood since June, 1889
Rain fell in torrents for nine hours.
Snow then fell until several inches

CanisteO rivers overlooked their banks,
and for miles east and west of here the
lowlands are flooded, and great dam
age has been done. At Painted Post
the entire village was under water all
Sunday and the water two feet deep in
most of the dwellings. The Erie, Lack
awanna and New York Central rail
roads all suffered from the washouts
and landsldes.

a Boosting Epitaph.

The following epitaph is 10 be found In
Dalkeith churchyard, over the grave of
Margaret Scott:
Stop, passenger, until my life you read.
The living may get knowledge by the dead.
Five times five years lived a maiden's life;
Ten times five years lived a widow chaste.
Now, weary OF this mortal life, rest.
Between my cradle and my grave have been
Eight mighty kings of Scotland and a queen
Four times five years the commonwealth
| saw;
Ten times the subjects rose against the law.
Twice did see old prelacy pulled down,
And twice the cloak was huulbled by the gown.
An end OF Stewards race saw nay, more
My native country sold for English ore.
Such desolations in my life have been;
l have an end OF all perfection seen.
This lady was born In 1913 and lived
to the age of l25 and, therefore, must
have lived through the following list Of
rulers: James |, Charles |, the common
wealth of Oliver Cromwell as protector,
Charles III, James III, William III and
Mary, Anne, George | and George III.

ITHACA, \. V, Dec 16.-The most
disastrous flood Ithaca has experienced
since 1857 resulted from the heavy
downpour. A conservative estimate Of
the damage caused to property in this
city places the loss at 900, and it
Is highly probable the total loss will
aggregate 100000. The destruction
was greatest along Six Mile creek and
Fall creek gorges. All street car traffic
was suspended and the city left in to-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Late ad-
vices received at the state department
from its agents in Turkey show that
they have not RENTED their efforts to
secure the release of Miss Stone and
are again seeking to open up commune
cation with the brigands, with proba-
bility of success. 1t Is believed that the
kidnapers at last have begun to realize
that the sum of $4,000 now in the
hands of Mr.. Dickinson represents all
the money that can be secured as a
ransom.
