INTERURBAN LINES
NOT MUCH TROUBLED

The interurban lines entering indianapolis
have had little trouble outside of the city
limits account of the flood and the only
interruption of their traffic is where they
are not allowed TO cross the bridges in the
city. All the companies, however, have
forces Of men stationed along their road
ways wherever they have bridges, and every
effort has been made by the companies to
insure their passengers the utmost safety
The Martinsville line has been compelled to
carry it's passengers from the city to the
Belt Railroad in stockyards cars, where
they met by the regular interurban
The Martinsville cars are unable to cross
the Morris-street bridge on account of its
unsafe condition. All the interurbans have
been running any kind of time and no
effort has been made to keep up the sched-
ule by any of the roads except the Union
Traction Company.
The West Washington-street car barns of
the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal
Company flooded by water from the
river early yesterday morning and for time
il was feared that the machinery would
have to be shut down. The water subsidized
however, before any serious damage had
been done and the power house was kept

COSTLY PERU BRIDGE
HANGS BY 4 THREAD

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU, Ind, Jan. 2.-The waters con-
tinued to go up through the day, until the
situation became very alarming in many
localities, but tonight a slight decrease is
noted. The Wabash river caught the In
dianapolis Northern girder bridge to-day,
though the five spans had been raised two
feet. They have been forced out of line,
and now hang on the edges of the piers,
needing but little more to send them tum-
bling into the torrent.
Great anxiety is felt in South Peru, and
many families have either gone to higher
ground or moved to upper floors. The Howe
factory is closed on account of high water,
and six hundred employees are laid off.
There is danger of Gripping the water sys-
TEN. The flood has already reached the
pumping pit, and one pump has been aban-
doned.
The Fort Wayne Southwestern traction
line is out Of business, and the Logansport-
Wabash traction cars are running through
one foot of water east of here. Ten miles
of the Wabash track between Huntington
and Fort Wayne is under water. The flood
has receded at Amboy. Denver and Rich
Valley. The Eel and Mississinewa rivers
are higher than known for years, and
threaten great damage, as both rivers are
still rising. The Chicago, Cincinnati &
Louisville train service has been aban-
doned south of this city, owing TO a flooded
track at Converse.
