HOTELS AT NIAGARA

Water Still Rises.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y. April 20
With the ice pack grounded at the
mouth of the Niagara river and almost
river-wide foes coming down con-

nothing can save what is left of ship
ping and rail traffic between this city
and Lewiston.
All through the night the water con-
tinued to rise, until now It is forty feet
above normal between the suspension
bridge and Niagara-on -the-Lake There
appears little hope of saving the south
lighthouse.
From Lewiston this morning came the
report that the Cornell House is in
danger. The rear porch is even now
resting on the ice crust, and unless con-
ditions change rapidly, the big summer
hotel must go. The Anglers Retreat
also is ir danger. Never in the history
of Niagara have conditions been SO
threatening. A flood which viii sweep
