Observation-Disclosures, n. j., Has
Lost More Heavily Than 1T Did
BY the Fire, With No Insur-
ance.

New York, March 3.-The great flood
that has inundated large part of the
mill section of Paterson, n. j., sub
sided somewhat during the night, and
it is believed the worst is over. The
damage was very great. 1t is estl-
mated that the loss wrought by the
flood is as large as that by the fire,
while it is said there is little or no
insurance to cover it.
Many more families have been rem
dered homeless by the flood thanwere
made so by the fire, and the RELIEF
committee, whose labors were becom-
ing lighter daily, are now hard at
work seeking to assist those who
have lost everything by the high wa
ter.
Between IL o'clock Sunday night
and four o'clock Monday morning, the
water in the streets of Paterson fell
five and a quarter inches, and there
has been a still further decline since
that hour.
Unless there should be another
heavy downpour of rain it is thought
that no further damage will be done.
Along the water front on both sides
of the river almost everything is
wrecked, foundations and roadbeds
having been eaten away, and about
everything in sight more or less dam
aged.

THREE-CENT FARES ILLEGAL.
United States Supreme Court Deci-
sion In the Detroit Three
Cent-Fare Case.

Washington, March 3.-In a decision
rendered in the United States SUI
preme court it was held that the
ordinance enacted by the city govern
ment of Detroit, Mich, arbitrarily re-
during street car fares to three cents,
was irregular and without binding eff
feet. The decision was based on the
fact that the previous ordinances had
been passed fixing the street car fares
as five cents. These original ordi
nances were construed by the court
to be in the nature of contracts. The
opinion was delivered by Justice
Peckham, and affirmed the opinion of
the United States court for the east
ern district of Michigan.

Heavy Damage at Montpelier and

Montpelier, VT, March "A ire
mendous freshet in the Winooski riv-
or has caused thousands of dollars
damage to city, railroads and private
property in this city and vicinity.
Choked by an ice jam, the river has
risen steadily for sevral days and,
during the night it reached flood
height, overflowed its banks, washed
out highways and railroad and swept
away two bridges, one of them being
a steel structure, which it is estimat-
ed it will cost the city of Montpelier
100000 to replace. Dynamite has been
tried on the ice with little effect. 1t
is hoped, however, that under fair
weather conditions the water will
gradually subside.
One of the bridges carried awaywas
that on the Barre branch of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad. All traffic
will be cut off at that point for a
week or more.
The highways between here and
Barre are under water in many places,
and it is impossible for electric cars
to be operated. Reports from the
