And 1t Has Cost Million So Far with
Two Lives Lost Wisconsin
Destruction.

Detroit, March 26.-Conservative cc-
Inmates of the damage caused by the
flooded rivers and creeks Of lower
Michigan during twenty-four hours
place the property loss at more than
S1,OOOOOO. At Lansing alone the fig
ures are placed at 100000. Two lives
have been lost, those of an unknown
Armenian who was standing ON a
bridge at Lansing when it collapsed,
and was washed away, and a boy
who was drowned in flooded street
at Owosso. Reports from many places
tell of steady downpour of rain with
no sign of let up.
Kalamazoo Suffers Heavily.
All trains were abandoned on the
Michigan Central railroad between
Jackson and Saginaw. The Pere Mar
quette is blocked at Flint and was
blocked for time near Lam
sing. From Kalamazoo comes the
report that every bridge for fifty
miles along the Kalamazoo river
has Utcn swept AWAY LII hdld IudZOO
5000 people have been thrown out of
work. Houses in that city have been
swept from their foundations and por-
tons of the tracks of the Lake Shore
Michigan Traction company and Chi
cagO, Kalamazoo and Saginaw rail-
roads have been washed away.
Situation at the State Capital.
At Lansing many manufacturing
plants that escaped the flood were
compelled to shut down by the break
ing of the feed wire connecting them
with the Piatt power plant. About
$50 residences at Lansing have been
flooded and the Kalamazoo and Logan
street bridges have gone out. Four
fires resulted from the food at Lam
sing, and it is estimated that the total
damage there will aggregate. $500, O00
At Owosso' the water is three feet deep
around houses where it was never
known 20 reach before. Much damage
has been dine at Jackson.
Damage Done ct other Points.
At Saginaw the liver is open, but
filled with floating Ice A new ST.
600 foot-bridge went out and other
bridges were saved by the use of dy-
Mantle. At Flint twenty stores on
the main street were flooded. Near
Flint the Shiawassee river is 1000
feet wide and three feet Of water is
pouring over the tracks of both the
Grand Trunk and Pere Marquette rail-
roads. The loss at Flint will be very
heavy.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March &c. =
In this city the water guage at the
dam shows three feet above the dam
ger line. The city is likely to be IN
darkness, as the electric light plant
will probably be flooded, owing to the
continued rise of the river. Over fifty
manufacturing firms along the canals
and river, and in close proximity, are
flooded and forced to shut down and
5000 men are out of employment.

A Wonderful Canyon.

In preparing for the construction of
a tunnel to irrigate the Uncompahgre
valley in western Colorado, it became
necessary to make a topographic sur
vey of the bottom of the grand canyon
of the Gunnison river for a distance
of about 1900 feet. But the walls of
this canyon, approximately 1000 feet
in height, are sheer precipices. and it
is impossible to go through in boats.
A descent to the bottom was effected
by means, of a narrow fissure eroded
in the granite cliffs. but in order to
reach the opposite side of the river,
with the aid of similar assure, the
surveying party had to make detour
of about $50 miles. In all, four ex,
tremely perilous descents were made
to the bottom of the canyon. In places
it was necessary to let the men down
over cliffs several hundred feet by
means of ropes.

Ancient Timepiece Furnishes Minister
on Sunday Mornings.
The oldfashioned grandfather's
clock is becoming a rarity, and only
now and then one Of them is offered
at a public sale in the country dis
trlcts. Then they bring big prices
one recently selling for $265, when the
competition between descendants of
the original owner was lively.
Recently C. c. Meyer of Orwigs.

quated timepieces, and as a result OF
his reconstruction the clock, instead

strikes different bells for the hour and
the half-hour. Then on Sunday morn
ings, at precisely $3.50, the clocks
church chimes ring, a small door
opens above the dial, and the figure
Of man appears, book in hand. This
figure remains above the dial all day
Sunday, disappearing late on that day
and not appearing till the following
Sunday.
Young Meyer, who is "a years old
is noted for his ingenuity. At an early
age he became interested in the con
struction of odd machines. The ole
clock adorns his home and is much
admired piece of furniture.
