SKlFFS AND LAUNCHES
PLY FLOODED STREETS
OF JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Jacksonville Fla, May 13.-The rain
which had been falling intermittently all
day yesterday and all last night assumed
this morning about daybreak almost the
proportions of a coudburst and when
the citizens prepared to cave for their
places of business many Of them found
their homes completely surrounded by
water.
But these were not the unfortunates
Many were driven from their residences
or forced to go to upper stories by the
water that in some cases reached the
level of the first story windows. In all
as much as one square mile Of the town
was under water. Fully half a mile of
Bay street. the principal thoOughfore OF
the city. was under water and much
damage was done to stocks OF goods.
On this street mule hitcned 90 wagon
got beyond its depth and was drowned,
and the driver, attempting to cut 1t
from the vehicle nearly lost his life.
Skifs and later in the day a naptha
launch were plying on BAY street re-
moving people from their submerged
homes.
The water was feet deep in the wait
ing room of the union depot and every
railroad track entering the city was un-
der water One train each over the
East Coast line and Atlantic Coast line
came into jacksonville In the morning
and one each over these two roads and
the Seaboard. one East Coast train de
parted at night.
The damage to the railroads IN and
near the city is consider Die, but il is
believed that it viii be rep ired by morn
ing and that trains viii make their reg
ular schedules tomorrow, The rain in
Its intensity seemed tof.a local and the
railroads are not 4d"iced except in or
na@@ the city
The city is in total darkness tonight.
The water was a foot deep in the elec-
trio light power house and stopped the
dynamos The damage to the electric
light plant which belongs to the city
is estimated at 5000 1t will take prob
ably $50, 600 to put the streets and bridges
in repair
The railroads suffered losses probably
