The Storm at New Bern.


Especial to News and Observer)
New Bern, N c., March 30.-Saturday
night at u o'clock a heavy northeast
wind rose, followed by rain in torrents.
which lasted for forty eight hours, caus-
ing very high tide. Many tenement
houses and merchants stores on the
river front were completely surrounded
by water to the depth of 31z feet. The
entire damage is estimated at $1,000. Mr..
Thos C. Daniels, a leading fish dealer,
says damage to the nets and seines of
the fishermen is several hundred dollars.
This will cause a scarcity of fish in our
market.
AS to the truck farmers they were not
seriously hurt. The only damage was in
the low lands, caused by the heavy rain.
Some damage was done to the saw
mills, grist mills, and warehouses, con-
tanning salt, guano and phosphates. but
the damage to private property cannot
be estimated yet.
Mr.. r. F. Williams private electric
plant suffered some damage, the water
reaching his furnace and extinguishing
the fire, causing darkness in some parts
of the city. At 12 o'clock Sunday night
the citizens of the town was alarmed at
the still increasing of the tide, high
winds and heavy rains. The various
electric wires became entangled, causing
the fire alarm to ring at intervals for
several hours before day, and then
quietness and peace dawned on our city.

KIEsT0N BRIDGE IN DANGER.
Parts Of Eastern Carolina Appear as One Vast
Lake

Especial to the News and Observer)
Goldsboro, n. c., March 30.-The flood
situation in this section has reached
somewhat serious proportions The wa
ter in Neuse river is falling very slowly
today, and it is feared that the heavy
rains which fell last night will cause
another rise. At Griffin's lumber and
shingle mill on the river, where the banks
are 20 feet high from low water mark,
the water has submerged the mill and
machinery and is running into the fire
boxes of the boilers. The mill can only
be reached by a canoe.
Crossings over both Neuse and Little
rivers has been suspended since Friday.
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. John Jennett,
farmer who lives on the south side of
Neuse river started home and intended
to cross at the covered bridge. The
water was running over the roadway en-
bankment for a quarter of mile this
side of the main bridge, yet he urged
his team of mules on until he came to
a bridge in the embankment. Owing to
the depth of the water he could not see
that the bridge had been washed away
and one of the mules fell through the
DTiuSe ana was drowned. lie IudHdSeu
to eXtricate the other mules from its
perilous position and rode the animal
back to this city, leaving the wagon
and harness to the mercy of the flood.
Incoming passengers on the Atlantic
and North Carolina train this morning
state that the woods and lowland farms
along the railroad between here and New
Bern are covered by water and look like
a vast lake in many places. Old resi-
dents do not remember to have seen so
much water, which in some places, is
running through the floors into resi-
dences Mr. Hales, the mail clerk on the
Atlantic and North Carolina train. says
that steamboat drawing u inches of
water could be run easily along side
of the railroad from Dover to Cove
Creek At Failing creek hundreds Of
acres of cultivated lands, which have
been prepared for the planting season,
are now submerged in water and look
like lakes instead of farms. The rail-
road bridge at Kinston is said to be in
danger and the water is still rising.

Big Swindle in Railroad Tickets
(By the Associated Press.)

New Orleans. La, March 30.-The pas
senger department of the Southern Pacific
Railroad has just unearthed at New Or
leans what promises to prove huge
swindle and forgery of railroad tickets.
A coupon of ticket purporting to have
been issued by the Louisiana and South
ern Railway Company has been turned
into the New Orleans Office for identi
fication. There is no such road as the
Louisiana and Southern, but the manipu-
lators of the tickets took advantage OF
the name of the Louisiana Southern. and
sold to travellers coupon tickets over the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. in
vestigations have been set on foot The
ticket bears the signature of J. NJ Davis,
general passenger and ticket agent.
There is no such official known in the
railroad service, certainly none connect
ed with the railroad in Louisiana. The
ticket itself is a forgery.
