HAVOC, FROM WATER
Hundreds Of People Made Homeless
In the East.
AU1ood Follows Fire ut Paterson and Wide
spread DesolstiOn Il Left In Its Wake
Hudson River Overfiows-Awful
Havoc Along the schuylkill.

Paterson, N. j., March 3.-This city,
20 recently swept by fire in its bust
ness section, is now overwhelmed by
food and yesterday the quarter occu-
pied by the houses Of the poorer class
was 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. The fire of three weeks
ago, while causing damage to prop
erty to the extent of nearly $s,000,000,
did not create such suffering and
widespread desolation as the flood Of
yesterday. The district for n 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 mile in width,
is covered with water which in many
instances reached to the second
story of the dwellings. In this dis
trict are situated the Rogers locomo-
tive works and several silk mills and
dye works. Near by live fully 600
families who have been driven from
their tenements.
Philadelphia, March 3.-The de-
struction wrought by the storm was
so great that many industrial estab-
lishments along the Schuylllill rivers
banks will be unable to resume work
for several days. Quite a number Of
buildings used for manufacturing pur-
poses had their foundations weak
~ened and machinery clogged with
mud. The indications are that not
one coal mine in Schuylkill county
will resume operations to-day. Most
of the mines were flooded by swollen
mountain streams.
At Pittsburg all day long great
gangs of men have been at work
pumping out cellars, carting away
debris and cleaning up generally. An
estimate of the damage done there
by the flood is hard to get at, but
conservative men place the total at
about $1,25o,o00. This includes the
loss to the thousands of workmen in
wages as well as the actual property
loss. All the railroads of the state
have suffered severely.
The water is over the banks Of
the river from Pittston to Nanticoke
and resembles a vast lake. At West
Moor, Firewood and Riverside near
ly all residents vacated their houses.
Albany, N. Y, March 3.-The Hud-
SON river overlooked its banks yester-
day and the entire southern portion
of the city is under water and resi-
dents have to use rowboats to get to
and from their homes. The New
York Central tracks west of Albany
are entirely under water and all
trains are transferred to the West
Shore railroad at Rotterdam juno
ton. Many cities in the state report
trains delayed by the tracks being
submerged and immense damage done
along the rivers banks.
Wheeling, w. Va, March BIN
Wheeling, Dollaire, Benwood, Mar
tins Ferry and Bridgeport scores Of

raging waters, fires extinguished and
10000 men placed on the list of in

TUBERCULOSIS CAN
BE CAUGHT FROM CATTLE

Paris, July 21.-M. Carnault, who, on
June II, inocuiated himself with matter
taken from a consumptive cow in order
to disprove Professor Koch's theory
that it is impossible for human beings
to catch tuberculosis from cattle, has
written to the Temps announcing that
the incubation has produced tubercu-
losis tumors.
He says this proves that man is quite
as susceptible TO bovine tuberculosis as
any other animal. He again inoculated
himself July Is by inserting under the
skin of his left arm a fragment of
tubercular matter from the liver of =
diseased cow
The second incubation was per-
formed because he feared that tuber-
cular turnors coming from the first in

formed on q guinea pig, inevitably

FIFTY PASSENGERS PERISH
in STEAMBOAT COLLISION
Steamer Prlmus Cut in Two and Sunk by Tug
Passengers in Terrible Panic.
Boilers Explode Adding Horror to the ScensHundreds Rescued

July 21.-The steamship
ii Primus. OF Hamburg, with 1S5
passengers on board. was cut in
two and sunk by the tug Hansa, on
the River EIbe. at 1890 o'clock this
morning. So far as is ascertainable,
about fifty passengers were drowned.
Thirteen bodies have already been re-
covered.
The Primus was an excursion steam

The disaster occurred between Blank

At the time of the accident the Prim-
us was crossing the river channel near
Biankenz from the southern into the
northern fairway.
According TO witnesses aboard the
HAMA, the movement was made too
soon. The Primus struck the tug S
engine room and the HAMA endeav-
ored to push her ashore, but the tug
grounded and the ships parted The
Primus then sank
In the interval, however, about fifty
of her passengers were able to reach

rescued by the boats.
AT the time time the Hansa tried
TO push the Prinus ashore, but. being
of deeper draught, grounded herself
before the passenger boat. The Primus
hoated down stream and sank 800 feet
from the Hansa-"
A terrible panic that occurred on the
Primus VIXEN the Hansa struck her
rendered the efforts 10 save her pas
sengers almost useless. Fortunately,
the steamer Dolphin came up immedi-
ately and succeeded in saving sixty of
those on board the sinking steamer,
while other boats assisted in the work
Of rescue.
Some of the survivors furnish graph
ic descriptions of the awful suddenness
of the disaster. According to their
story, the band was playing and many
couples were dancing on deck when
the crash of the collision came like a
thunderbolt. The vessel gave a great
lunge, her deck taking such en- angle
that it was impossible for the passen-
gers to keep their feet Those below
scrambled up the companion ways, but
most Of the persons in the saloon were
drowned Men fought for their own
safety regardless of others
In the midst of the confusion the
boilers exploded, adding to the horrors
of the scene, and many persons are
said to have been injured by flying
splinters of metal. More Of the Primus
passengers would have been saved by
the ropes thrown from the Hansa mad
