FLOODS NOW SERIOUS
Boiler Rooms of a Brooklyn Hos
pital Flooded.

New York Feb. 26.-Floods which
have been caused throughout Long Isl
and by the heavy snowfalls and rains
of the past ten days, became serious
to-day. Travel is much impeded and
in some cases service on the Long ISL
and Railway has been temporarily
abandoned. In consequence of the
large quantities of sand and great
depth of water that covered the tracks
at several points west of Westbury, all
trains on the main line and Port JEFF
ferson branch were tied up. Hundreds
of passengers were obliged to walk sew
eral miles to get around the badly
flooded districts in order to secure
transportation to the city.
The Hospital for Contagious Diseases
on Kingston avenue, Brooklyn, was
flooded to-day. Six feet of water stood
in the boiler and engine rooms, and it
was impossible to make fire under the
boilers. Gas stoves were used to heat
the wards, in which there were many
patients. The hospital staff called on
the Park Department to furnish boats,
so that 1t might be possible to reach
the pavilions of the hospital which are
separated from the main building by a
yard i'm which there was several feet
of water. The grounds of the hospital
are about eight acres in extent, and the
land lies much lower than some of the
ground in the immediate vicinity

open the safe. Dudley Johnson, white,
ana Ben roster, cOlored, We're inside
the store, and Russell Gates, white,

where Dragoman Carguilo and Mr..

brigands owing to timidity or other
