OPENING UP The

Storm.
A GENERAL MILK FAMINE
Passaic River Rampant and
Seriously Threatening
Newark.
GENERAL MILK FAMINE

Matters were still almost at a stand
still on the eastern section of the Erie
Railroad yesterday. At the Erie depot
in this city last night it was officially
stated that the wires from Lackawaxen
to Jort Jervis, that We're down, were re-
established, and that by this morning
they would be re-established all the way
between Lackawaxen and Hancock. This
means that communication would be
opened up all the way to Chicago.
Between Turner's and Suffern, it was
given out that the tracks were still
blocked with trains owing to washouts
and bad condition of bridges. 1t was
also said that the main line to Suffern
would be all right by today.
Erie trains were sent out over the Le-
high Valley Railroad to Waverly.
The Northern road was said to be all
right and the Greenwood Lake Division
was open yesterday to Little Falls.
One milk train succeeded in creeping
in yesteday, and it was said others would
follow last night 1t was generally be-
lieved, however, that the milk famine,
which has threatened New York and Jerl
sey City since Friday, would be more
seriously felt today, entailing much suf-
fering on small children.
Newark was seriously menaced yester-
day by the Passaic River. At high tide
the river rose to a point seven feet six
inches above the normal Millions of feet
of lumber from the lumber yards on the
water front were swept down stream.
Machinery and stock in factories in the
Inundated sections grows greater every
nous. The first foorso of the Clark Thread
Works are under water, necessitating the
shutting down of the works, temporarily
shutting 1000 persons out of employ
ment. The piers of various bridges are
under water and thousands Of tons of
debris are resting against the structures
Hundreds of men worked all day yester-
day pumping out the water from the
power houses of the Public Service Cor
poration.
Newark's water supply is also men
nced.

NEARLY DROWNED
IN The MEADOWS
Michael Kilgarri's Narrow
Escape From a Horrible
Death Last Night.
SUNK IN A QUAGMlRE
But for the Arrival Of James
Mcintyre and the Police
He Was Lost.

Michael Kilgarri, forty years old, Of
No. 3OS Hudson street, Hoboken, had a
very narrow escape from a horrible death
shortly after seven o'clock last evening.
He was trying to make short cut in
the vicinity of Nineteenth street and Jer-
sey avenue when he slipped and fell into
the Meadows. In his effort to catch him
self he foundered further out from the
solid footpath. He found himself in a
quagmire and the greater his efforts to
get out the deeper and deeper he sank
until finally he was unable to move his
legs.
He yelled for assistance. His yells
were heard by James Mcintyre, EN-
ployed as watchman at the, hencoops
of the Lackawanna Railroad. 1t was
dark and Mcintyre had difficulty in locat-
ing the unfortunate man, whose voice
becoming weaker and weaker on account
of exhaustion in efforts to free, himself
from the oozing mass of black Meadow
mud in which he was sinking, He was
already up to his armpits when Mcintyre
finally located him. Mcintyre ran back
of the coops and secured rope and a
plank. He also gave police alarm and
the reserves of the Seventh street station
We're soon on the scene. Mcintyre was
doing his utmost to release the unfortu-
ate man, but making no pereeptible head
way. He managed to get the rope
around Kilgarri's chest, under his arm
pits before Kilgarri sunk to his neck.
But he could not bulge him. The police
got more boards and some spades and i'm
provised a platform, and, while several
pulled on the rope, others dug the mud
from around him and finally landed him
on the platform. This work was mainly
done by Policemen Bert Allen and John
Martin. Kilgarri was almost dead when
rescued. He was recognized as one of
McIntyre's neighbors and was assisted
to his home by Mcintyre.
