Niagara River Gorged and Over
flows Its Banks.

Buffalo, N. Y-During the last twen-
ty-four hours since Saturday this city
has been swept by the most destructive
windstorm of decade. Tonight (Sat-
urday the Niagara frontier lies a
scene of wreckage and destruction in
the wake of the storm.
Two lives reported lost so far and a
property damage that will aggregate
100000 when the accounting is
made, is the toll of the storm. Lake
Erie, with its level higher than has
been known for twenty years, has
gorged the Niagara river to overflow
ing, and thousands of dollars worth of
property has been carried down the
stream.
Miles OF docks at the great lumber
market at North Towanda have been
destroyed, and millions of feet of lum-
ber have been carried out into the
river
The damage to shipping in Buffalo
harbor alone is $1,500,000. Five Great
Lake steamers aground tell that part
of the story. Thirteen others making
brave attempts to ride out the storm
may add to it.
Niagara Falls power was cut off
when the cable snapped, and the city is
in partial darkness tonight. Damage
to homes and buildings is widespread.
The terrific gale blew NINETY miles
an hour at times, and has swept this
city for eighteen hours.
The endangered vessels are the

its path. Docks and wharves were
wrecked and carried away; craft
broken from their moorings, smashed
against bridges. doing serious damage.
No casualties have been reported.
Lake Erie rose three feet in as many
minutes. The inner breakwater walls
have been pounded until portions of
them have beer broken away. Rail-
road tracks along the water front are
being held down with strings of freight
cars.
Railroad service has been badly dis
arranged. The gale brought with 1t

ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM.
Former Senator Rolslnser Gets Away
from Pueblo.

Denver.-The News Sunday morning
says: After saving his way out of the
state insane asylum at Pueblo with a
pocket knife which he had converted
into a saw, former State Senator
Henry c. Bolsinger of Central City
jumped to the ground from the second
story, walked sixty-three miles to Mon
ument, and there boarded a train for
Denver, arriving here late Friday night
In an exhausted condition.
On arrival there he showed signs of
great fatigue, but otherwise was none
the worse for his experience. He re-
lated the details with evident relish at
having outwitted the authorities at the
asylum. His mental condition was ex-
cellent and he gave no sign of ever
having suffered in that respect. Yes
terday morning, before leaving for Cen
trail City with his brother, he had fully
recovered from the fatigue of the sixty
three mile walk and he was in good
spirits because of his freedom.
He had money enough to pay his
way to Denver, but he knew that If he
bought a ticket anywhere near Pueblo
he could more easily be followed by
the guard. He walked all of Thursday
night and up to noon Friday before
reaching Monument, where he
thought he could safely board train.
1t was feared by the authorities at
the asylum that he had lost his way
on the prairie and that he would be
frozen to death. He is man of robust
physique and he stood the trip well.
He told Denver friends that he would
never go back to Pueblo, as he was
cured of his ailment.
Former Senator Bolsinger is a man
of brilliant attainments. Some years
ago he was struck on the head with a
stick of wood, and since that time he
has, at intervals, suffered temporary
insanity. He has twice before been an
inmate of the state asylum and had
once escaped from that institution and
gone home.
