DRIVEN OUT BY FLOOD.
Portsmouth Residents Flee an Night
CLOtheS-.Sick Uncared For.

Portsmouth. Ohio. jar. 20.-A terrific storm
and the sudden breaking OF the levees along the
Ohio River caused Portsmouth a night Of terror,
and daylight showed that only scattered portions
OF the city escaped the flood. Hundreds OF peo-
pie were asleep in their homes when the mad
rush OF the waters from the Scioto River came,
and scores had remarkable escapes from drown
ing. Many fed from sick beds, dozens of shrek
ing women and children staggered aimlessly
through the streets. clad only in night dresses
The water rose so rapidly that people had no
time TO save anything. Few could render as
sistance to The helpless. Il was necessary to
chop in roofs to rescue some imprisoned families
Many found refuge in box cars and on house
tops til daylight. Much livestock was lost.
The men in charge of the food pumping sta
ton were forced TO desert their posts and to fee
for their lives, leavlRg the structure in flames
The river has reached 613 feet. which is the
highest record since the flood Of 1884. but It is
now about stationary. It is estimated that ten
thousand people in this city and suburbs have
been driven from their homes.
The care OF TIE sick is the problem con-
fronting the authorities.
A fierce gale to-day tore some houses and
barns from their foundations and swept them
down stream.
Streetcar traffic has been suspended and all
railroad schedules have been annulIed-
A bread famine and a lack OF water. gas and
light supply combine TO make the situation ex-
trernely critical.

The damage TO shipping in Buffalo Harbor

The city has had telephone and telegraph
