A Village Wiped out.

FORT PLAIN, N. Y, March 3.-The hamlet of Sprakers, six miles east of here, has been almost wiped out of ex- istence by the continued forces of wa ter and fire. Sprakers is made up of fifty families and has been under wa ter for two days. Great masses of ice came down the river, striking the houses. and some of them were so sha- ken that the stoves in them were over turned, and the dwellings were burned. In some instances people escaped from perilous positions by stepping from the second stories of their homes to big mass Of ice which became damned and then walked in safety to the high West Shore railroad tracks. One end of the West Shore bridge was moved eighteen inches just few minutes after fast passenger train had dashed over it.

 Inundated = Heavy Losses I7
 Southern New York
 ALBANY, March 3.-Railroad traffic has been badly interfered with and not a wheel has turned on street car line for twenty-four hours as a result of the Hudson river overfowing its banks. The entire southern portion of the city is under water, and residents have to use rowboats to get to and from their homes The New York Central railway trains from New York city are from two to five hours late as a result of having to use the tracks of the Harlem branch from Hudson to Chatham and then over the Boston and Albany railway tracks to this city. The New York Central tracks west of Albany are entirely under water, and all trains are transferred to the West Shore railroad at Rotterdam Junction.
 The heavy rainfall 2ll day Sunday has caused one of the highest freshets sn the history of the Hudson river at this place. It has swept away hun dreds of dollars worth of portable property and caused much suffering to the residents of the southern section of the city, whose houses are complete ly cut off by the water and are ac- cessible only by means of rowboats.
 The flood in Syracuse has been re- ceding, and unless the weather be- comes warmer, bringing down more melted snow from the hills, Onondaga creek will soon be in normal condition. All traffic on the Delaware, Lackawan- ma and Western south of Cortland has been abandoned.
 There washout on the Rome, Wa tertown and Ogdensburg at Evansville and on the New York Central at Oris- kany. Eastbound New York Central trains were compelled to run on track three through Palmyra owing to water pn the passenger tracks.
 In Syracuse, it is estimated, the dam age to householders by the flood will amount to more than $50.000.
 All traffic on the New York Central between Hudson and Albany has been blocked since Saturday night by the flooding of the tracks near Schodock. There is said to be three feet of water at that point Through trains are being run over the Boston and Albany via Chatham from Hudson to Albany.
 The Empire State express was stall ed in the flood near Schodock all night, the water putting the fire in the loco motive out

DAMAGE IN NEW JERSEY.
Paterson Is Overwhelmed and Hum

Paterson Is Overvv vheImed and Hum
 dreds Are Made Homeless.
 PATTERSON, N. J. March 3.-This city, so recently swept by fire, is now overwhelmed by flood. Three weeks ago the greater part of it's business section was burned out, and now 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, and the country for miles around the city is under water.
 So far but one death has been report ed. The great peril now is that the Spruce street raceway may overflow, in which event a fearful loss of prop erty in the manufacturing districts is sure to enSue.
 The fire of three weeks ago, while causing damage to property to the extent of nearly $S,O0O,000, did not ere ate such suffering and widespread des- olation as the present flood. The dis trict 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
 
 which in many instances reaches to the second story of the dwellings.
 In the absence of Mayor John Hinch- cliffe, who is now in Cuba recuperat- ing from the strain of the recent fire, Thomas J. Brogan, president of the board of aldermen, is acting mayor and, with the mayors secretary, Will liam l.. Dill, is doing his utmost to re- lieve all those who need assistance.
 The cry of fire was heard about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and it looked as if the clements were combining to destroy the city. The fire broke out in Oates drug store, at the corner of Hamilton avenue and Main street. The firemen, many of whom were help ing to remove the people from the deluged district, jumped to their posts and were soon hard at work fighting the flames There was a brisk wind blowing, but the blaze was confined to the drug store building, which was burned out The loss was estimated at $5,OOO. During the three hours that the men were working another alarm was turned in, but the blaze was in- significant.
 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, the abutments on both shores being swept away. All the other bridges are com pletely submerged, cutting off commu- l. o4s- the city. The boilers and engine rooms of several of the big mills are ten feet under water.

TRENTON, N. J., March 3.-The Del aware river reached its greatest height here about o'clock Sunday afternoon. At that time it was fourteen feet above the normal level The river is full of ice. and the water is rushing through in torrents Very little damage is be- ing done by the rise i'll the river, so far as the actual destruction of property is concerned.
