FLOODS WREAk RUIN.
Swollen Rivers Overwhelm in Three

Swollen Rivers Overwhelm in Three
States-Cities Submerged.
Rain, wind and melting snow wrought
untold damage within twenty-four hours
throughout the States of New York and
Pennsylvania and portions of West Vir-
ginia. Rivers and creeks rose far above
their banks and sent their rushing floods
into homes and business houses, washed
out railway tracks and tore scores of rail-
road bridges from their foundations.
Trains We're stalled in consequence and
traffic paralyzed Hundreds of persons
were forced to fee from their homes to
save their lives.
Warm weather and heavy rains Satur-
day were followed at night by terrific
gales and more excessive rains. In New
York City the wind blew at the rate of
forty-eight miles an hour.
Reports from every city and town in
the State tell of ruin by flood. Landsl dies
were frequent and on the Lehigb valley
Railroad alone twenty bridges were
washed out in the vicinity of Auburn.
Many dams burst.
Ithaca reports the most serious damage
by food since 1857 The damage dCne
there amounts to 100000. The rain
turned the nearby creeks into torrents
and at midnight the flood was poured
upon the city. One dwelling house was
swept away. The power and lighting
plant was washed out and two trolley
cars were swallowed up in the flood.
Lumber yards and buildings suffered inn
mensely and the wreckage, blocking the
channel of Six Mile creek, turned the
stream from its course and the whole
lower part of the city was flooded.
Much damage was done throughout
northern New York by the extremely high
wind which prevailed for twenty-four
hours, reaching the velocity of tornado.
The warm weather Saturday sent the
snow out of the .Adirondacks like magic
and many houses on the lower levels are
flooded At Middletown large landslides
occurred on the Erie Railroad. In a col
lisicn between two trains one man was
killed and several injured.

Dowie's partner. To seal the bargain
Stevenson related that he married
Dowie's sister and gave her a wedding
dover of $4,000, which was to be return
ed to him in the form of stock in the
Zion lace industries. The plaintiff said
it was his belief that he was Dowie's
co-partner, and that Dowie had secured
his name to a paper giving Dowie all
rights in the company by fraud. Steven
son charged that Dowie, on the night of
Aug. 8, 1901, changed papers on him
when he supposed he was signing joint
partnership documents. Dowie, through
his attorney, entered general denial to
all the charges. Sd
