RIVERS ON A RAMPAGE.
Stream at Odanah (Wis.) Rises Three
Feet in a Brief Time-Houses
Are Flooded.

ASHLAND, Wis, May 19.-[Special.l
The Bad river at Odanah suddenly
rose three feet this morning at 5 o'clock
and the water flooded the surrounding
residences. A number of families were
rescued with rowboats and others near
the danger line are getting out. The
White and Bad rivers form a junction
at Odanah and the combined flood is
threatening the village. 1t is possible that
the flood of this morning is from the
broken dam at Mellen which went out
twenty-four hours ago. Other dams on
on the White river are being watched
carefully. Leaks were discovered yester-
day and every effort made to stop them.
1t is thought the highest point has not
been reached

BALTIMORE, November 5.-Accordins
to unofficial returns received by the Bal
timore News from every county in the
state and from Baltimore city up to ]
pm. today Maryland is again in the Bry-
an column by a very small plurality.
The most careful revision Of the unoffi-
cial figures was made today. with the aid
of reports from every county and the
wards Of Baltimore city, and the result is
to show that up to this hour Bryan leads
by 21O votes. The returns last night ap-
parently gave the state to Taft by a
plurality of 1875.
The vote is SO close. however, that 1t is
possible the complexion may again be
changed by the discovery of an ordinarily
slight inaccuracy Of a ward or district.
