SATURDAY NIGHTS DELuGE.

Sudden Rise in Middlccrcck Did Cons,Ier.
able Damage To Property on the Flats.
The heavy rams of Saturday and Sat
urday eveding led us all to look for
high water, but no one dreamed of sec.
ing such II sudden rise and 50 much
damage. At 3 o'clock sunday MORN
ing many Of the residents of the Flats
began to desert their homes in hol
haste. The water arG~c 50 rapidly, no
one could tell when it would stop. A
midnight prowlcr awakened the resi-
dents on the south side of Market
street and called them ont to look
after their stock. At four o'clock Sun
day morning the water reached the
highest point-jjus. feet less than the
high flood of 1854 The scenes in the
flooded district, when the wat r fell,
represented wreckage, debris, devasta-
ton and ruin. Water entered every
cellar from the Jail to the Middlecreek
bridge. In the Jail the furnace fires
were extinguished. Chickens belong
ing to II. II. Bickhart and Mary Wal
ter were drowned, while the contents
cf dozen cellars were ruined. Potatoes,
celery, vinegar, apples, canned fruit
and other necessities Of life took II dip
in the refreshing waters. The Luther
m church cellar was filled with Adj
ANS ale and the persistent church
goers were compelled to read their
Bibles at home rs the furnaces had
taken shower bath at the very time
they should have done service for the
congregation. When the water threat
cned Charles Spaid' hog pen, he grab
bed his fattest hog by the hind leg.
stabbed it in the neck, dragged it to a
little higher spot and oegan butchering
while the mighty waters rushed by in
Il furious rage. The other hog sought
its own safety, and Charles is happy
with fresh sausage and a full supply of
meat. The public flag stone walk sus-
tained some damage, and the fence was
removed for considerable distance,
rhe brick walk where \. A. Bowes
lives was torn out and gutter II feet
ieep remains to tell the story. The
lag stone walk recently laid by |. VI.
Bowersox has been displaced, the board
walk and fence at the Evangelical
chapel was removed and the brick
walk at the Dunkelbcrger residence
was reduced to Il chaotic mass.
The waters did not reach the floors
of any dwellings, but the carpets were
torn up in several homes to meet the
emergency.
The high water was due to one or
both of two causes. First, very heavy
rains up Middlecreek Valley, and Sc
cond to impeding the current Of water
by lumber lodging at the new bridge.
The scenes after the flood along Sugar
street resembed more an abandoned
and neglected rural road than the
thoroughfare ofa growing and prosper
Gus village.
