FLOODS INCREASE.
Conditions on Grand River
Are Very Grave.
UNPRECEDENTED SINCE YEAR 1874
Much Suffering From cold and STAR
v;atiOn-AII Traffic Is Demoralized,
and Grand Rapids LIS In Dark
ncss-Thousnnds Arc Idle.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March %.
Conditions in this city and nearby
towns along the Grand river are very
grave as a result of the unprecedented
Hood that has swollen the stream far
out of its banks for the past three
days. At 8 o'clock the river gauge here
showed u depth of 1913 feet. This is
three feet above the previous high
water record, that of 1874. The water
has risen six inches since 6 o'clock. 1t
is falling slightly, however, the drop
in temperature having checked the
small streams and surface drainage.
The inhabitants of flooded houses are
suffering greatly from cold and Lack of
food. There has been no loss of life
thus far, but there is great suffering,
and a vast amount of sickness will, 1t
is feared, follow the exposure sus-
tanned by many of the flood victims.
There is grave danger of an epidemic
of typhoid fever following the flood as
a result of the insanitary conditions
that the lowering of the waters will
expose.
Intcrurban cars are running only
over portions of the roads out of Grand
Rapids. Steam railway traffic is de-
moralized. Practically no trains are
adhering to schedule on the roads that
have their lines open. The city lighting
station is entirely cut off and out of
commission, and the city is in darkness
again. Many of the west side churches
are surrounded by water and were IN
able to hold services. All schools on
the west side will be closed until fur
Their notice.
The work of rescuing inhabitants of
the flooded houses has continued
throughout the day, a squad of local
militia assisting the rescuers. 1t is
conseryatively estimated that the loss
to property and business on account Of
the flood will exceed $2,000,000.
Fifteen thousand men are unable to
work owing to factories being COM
PEELED to close because of the high wa
ter. Two thousand homes are flooded
on the west side.
The food conditions at Ionia, Lowell,
Portland and other points along the
Grand river are reported to be slightly
improved, the waters having begun to
fall. These towns are practically iso-
lated by reason of the bridges across
the Grand river going out, and it will
be many days before anything like
normal traffic with the outside world
will be established. The food loss at
Ionia is estimated at 100000.
Niles reports that no trains have
been run on the Michigan division of
the Big -Four as a result of the st.
Joseph river food. that the greater
part Of the north end Of the city is
flooded and that sand bags are being
placed on the dam across the river 1t
that place to keep it from going out.

doubtless resulted from the Shiny field.
Exclusive of punts, Nebraska carried the ball

New YORK Sun Special Service. -
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 3.-The addition Of
Brill and Parker to the Harvard squad has done
for the eleven all that the most optimistic had
prophesied. The former player with his 225
pounds, is wonderful tackle, while Parker pos
sesses qualities which may make him Of the
best centers in the collegiate world.
With Parker and Brill in the field, Harvard
is assured of one thing which she has lacked
deplorably in years gone by-a strong second
eleven.
Brill, with his tremendous weight and strength,
will have to fight hard against such a man as
Squires who, altho weighing only 2O3 pounds,
has all the experience and craftiness of a years
varsity experience behind him. Parker also
has not yet been presented with place on the
varsity. g. J. - j ~
AS to the ends they are as yet an unknown
quantity Montgomery, who figured in the Yale
game last year, is a strong man, and B1agdon,
who SO far has been holding down the opposite
extremity, has made an excellent impression.
