AND RAILWAY TRAFFIC IS
SUSPENDED.
ARE HOMELESS

Paterson, N. j., March 4.-This city;
so recently. swep by fire, is now over
whelmed by flood. Three weeks g
the greater part Of its business section
was burned out and yesterday the
quarter occupied by the houses of the
poorer class is inundated. Hundreds Of
families have been made homeless by
the overflow of the Passaic river n
tn, country for miles around the city is
und.r water. So far but n death has
been reported. The great peril now is
that the Spruce street roadway may
overflow, in which event a great loss of
property in the manufacturing district
is sure to ensue.
The fire of three weeks ago, While
causing a damage to property to an
extent of nearly $4,000, 900, did not Gre
ate such suffering and widespread des-
olation as the flood. The district for a
mile along the river front, from Spruce
street hill to Straight street, and two
blocks north and five blocks south of
the river, nearly half a mile in width
is covered with water which in many
instances reached the second story OF
the dwellings. In this district are sit
uated the Rogers locomotive works
and several silk mills and dye works.
In the immediate vicinity of them fully
600 families have been
Driven From Their Tcnements.
OF these ~unfortunates several hundred
were taken from their homes in boats
and barges amid seem of much ex-
element. In the absence of Mayor
John Hinchcliffe, who is now in Cuba
r~ecuperating from the strain of the re-
cent fire, Thomas j.. Bergan, president
Of the board of aldermen, is acting
mayor, and, with the mayors secre-
tary, William M. Dill, is doing his ut
most to relieve all those who need as
sistance. In the work of rescue one Of
the most earnest toilers lost his life.
The cry of fire was heard about l
o'clock in the afternoon, and it looked
as if the elements were combining to
destroy the city. There was a brisk
wind blowing, but the blaze was soon
controlled.
On Hamilton avenue near the river
the foundations Of two new buildings
were undermined by the flood and the
structures collapsed and were swept
away in the stream. The Arch street
bridge collapsed in the afternoon. All
the other bridges are completely sub
merged, cutting off communication be-
tween the two sections of the city. The
boilers and engine looms of several Of
the big mills are ten feet under water.

district IN Allegheny. Both OF these
sections will be out Of the W.@.er's
clutch in a few hours, as the rivers are
steadily falling here snd at all points
above. An estimate OF the damage
done here by the flood is hard to get at,
but conservative men place the total at
about $1.250, 900. This includes the loss
to thousands Of workmen in wages as
well as the actual property loss.
Almost Wiped Out.

hamlet of SPEAKERS, six miles east OF

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March "A heavy
rainfall and rush of water from it's up
per tributaries caused the North
Branch Of the Susquehanna river to
rise rapidly yesterday. The high water
mark is equal to that of 1865, which has
always heen known as a record-break-
er. The damage to property is al
ready estimated at $1,000, 900. The
water is over the banks Of the river
from Pittsburg tt Nanticoke and re-
sembles a vast lake. Nearly one-half
Of the city is under water. At West
moor, Firewood and Riverside nearly
all residents vacated their houses. The
water had reached the first stories and
a gradually going up to the second.
Those who fingered too long had to be
removed in boats. Two hundred fami-
lies living in the lowlands in the town
Of Plymouth had to leave their houses
hastily in the afternoon. At NanticOke
several houses were swept away by the
rushing waters and the people living in
them had a narrow escape. Several
washouts are reported along the line Of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
Reports from the mines show that
many of them were flooded and 1t will
take some day.; before they can be
pumped cut. This will curtail the out
put of coal. Nine lives nave been lost
so far. The casualties for the past
twenty-four hours were three.
Many Industries Pnralyxed.
Philadelphia, March 4.-The Schuyl-
kill livevr is again within Its banks
and getting to its normal condition.
The destruction wrought by the storm
was so great that many industrial es-
adjustments along the river banks
will be unable to work for sew
eral days. Quite a number of buildings
used for manufacturing purposes had
their foundations weakened and ma
chinery clogged with mud. All reports
from up-river points carry the infor-i
motion that great carnage was done.
The various towns, now that the water
has receded, are rapidly recovering
thei! normal condition.
