HIGH WATER
CAUSED FIRR
It Came in Contact With
Lime in a Richmond
Plant

Richmond, Va, Jan. Flood, fire
and general excitement prevailed in
Richmond yesterday The water in
the James river rose 23h feet, within
four feet OF the level Of the great
freshet Of 1877. Lower Main street
and a greater part of Fulton, the ex-
treme eastern section of the city, were
flooded. When the freshet was near
its height, fire. caused by the waters
coming in contact with lime, broke out
in the plant of Warner, Moore & Co,
millers and feed supply men. The
property is situated on the creeks Of
the flooded district, and at one time
II seemed inevitable that II would be
destroyed, but a change of wind and
the splendid work of the fire depart
ment averted that. The hose were
carried over a line of partially sub
merged coal cars and buoyed on RATS
made Of small boats. The fremen
fought the flames standing up to their
waists in water. It is estimated that
the occupants of some 200 small
houses on this and the Manchester
sides of the river had to vacate tenn
porarily. The gas works are partially
under water and the gas supply is
cut off. This condition seriously Grip
pies the newspapers, as the metal for
their linotype machines is heated by
gas. The incoming southern trains
had 10 run through several feet of wa
ter. Bridges are reported gone In va.
rious sections Of the state, and traffic
is greatly interrupted.
