Flood And Fire AT port Deposit.

Flood And Fire At Port Deposit.
The residents of Port Deposit
had their share of anxiety and ex
Ecitement the past week, both food
and fire threatening destruction OF
their property. Happily the dam
age done by the elements was not
very extensive, and things have
assumed a normal aspect in the old
town along the bank of the Sus
quehanna. The rain and general
thaw Of The preceding days caused
a rise in the river and breaking
up of the ice Sunday.
Parts Of the town were inundated
to the depth of several feet, the
tracks of the p, B. & w. railroad
being covered in several places.
and causing great delay and dis
arrangement of train service Mon
day, no trains being able to get
through until nearly noon of that
day, when the water receded some
what.
The residents of the town had
prepared for the expected flood by
moving household and other goods
above the dangerline, but the water
did not rise high enough to enter
any Of the dwellings, and the dam
age wrought was not great.
On Monday night, about eight
o'clock, fire was discovered in the
room on the first floor of the town
hall building, used by the trustees
of Jacob Tome Institute, and the
alarm given. The Water Witch
Fire Company responded after con
siderable delay, as their apparatus
had been moved from its quarters
on account of the impending flood
The company had great difficulty
in fighting the FIRE but finally ex
tinguished it after considerable
damage had been done to.the wood
work, furniture and fixtures of the
trustees room, and also to the fur
niture and fixtures of the National
Bank of Port Deposit, which oc
cupies a portion of the building, by
smoke and water, the actual dam
age done by fire itself not being
very extensive.
