YOUNGSTOWN LOSS
ALMOST REPEATED.
Quarter of Million Dollars Damage Done
by Collapse of Hamburg
[Pa.) Dam.

READING. Pa, Aug. A terrific
cloudburst struck the borough of Ham
burg, this county, late Friday. A ten
foot food swept through the main por-
ton of the town. leaving in it's wake
ruin and devastation. There are wash
outs in the streets to the depth of ten
feet. !
Allen J. Remig, vino was working in
tinsmith shop, was drowned. More
than fifty dwellings were damaged.
Many persons escaped drowning by
rushing to the upper floors of their resi-
dences. The total loss will amount to
more than $25O,OOO.
The great rush of water through the
town was caused by the collapse of the
dam at the Union flour mill. There
were many thrilling rescues and narrow
escapes.
One of the most notable was that of
the family of Prof. Wallace, a blind
organist When the flood came all the
members of the family sought refuge on
the second floor. The water rose almost
to the second story and neighbors with
boats went to their rescue. The blind
man was lifted out the window by
means of a rope made of bedding and
the children were tossed from upper
windows and caught by the men.
The fifteen members of the board OF
directors of the local bank who were in
weekly session, were saved by climbing
ladders and reaching the second story
windows of an adjoining building.
Great damage was wrought to dwell
ings along the creek. Public roads We're
washed out and many bridges destroyed.
1t was one of the heaviest rains OF the
history of Northern Berks county.

with which Greco was tied was discov-
cred in the pockets of Duche.

showing interest in the plan.
David Porter. president of the Bay Ridge and

only the elevated loop plan, Nh. Porter maintains,
can effect that result. While Williamsburg, Ridge
