STRESS OF FLOOD

That Wrought by Recent
Flood.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The great flood
that has inundated a large part OF the
1.ill section of Paterson, \. j., subsideo
somewhat during the night, and it is be-
Iicved the worst is over. The damage
was very great.
IT is estimated 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 ii. Many more fami-
lies have been rendered homeless by the
food than were made SO by the fire. Along
the water front on both sides Of the
river almost everything is wrecked, foun-
Cations and roadbeds having been eaten
away and about everything in sight more
or less dana Sed.
The East jersey Company is by far the
worst sufferer from the flood. The en-
tire filtration plant OF the company, the
construction Of which WAS almost COM
rletc is wiped out. The contract price
for the work was $4,000, all of which is
lest, and the proba biitics are that in all
the loss to the company will amount TO
IL million and q half dollars.
