NEW ENGLAND SUFFERS.
River and Streams Swollen and Much
Property Damage Reported.

Boston, Jan. 23.--Down from the
hills has come the winters accumula-
ton of snow, melted by the January
thaW' and augmented by the recent
rains, causing New England rivers and
streams to assume freshet stages. In
many places these floods have caused
damage. Minor washouts are many in
the railroad tracks throughout the hill
countries, dams and culverts have Civ
en- way, water mains have become so
full that they broke and the invading
waters often with floating ice have en-
tered mills and factories on river
banks, crippling the waterpower sys-
TEN, damaging stock and rendering
useless boiler rooms and power plants.
In q few cases buildings have been
washed away.
At East Hampton a dam was swept
away, a gas house was carried away
with the swollen waters, a blacksmith
shop floated away and buildings were
undermined. The damage there is es-
timated at $4,000 1t is doubtful if sew
eral mills there will be able to resume
work tomorrow.
The tributary streams of the Connec-
ticut river in southern Vermont have
gone on rampage. The lighting plant
at West Dummcrston has been rem
dered useless. Several houses there
have f1oated away.
At Pownal VT, and surrounding
villages, farmers We're forced to use
boats yesterday and today between
their homes and barns. The trolley
service is demoralized.
Unless cold spell sets in soon ice
harvesting operations on most streams
and rivers has reached it's finish. On
tic Connecticut and Merrimack rivers,
with a rise of five feet on each, there
can be no immediate resumption of the
ice cutting.

AN OVERTURNED THREE MASTER
Sighted Saturday by Steamer Cymric,
| Arriving Sunday at New York.

New York, Jan. 23-An overturned
three-masted schooner was passed Satur-
day afternoon by the White Star liner
Cymric, which arrived here Sunday from
Liverpool. The vessel had copper-col-
ored keel and alongside of her lay one of
her unfurled sails. showing that 1t had
been in use when the ship capsized.
From the fact that the canvas was still
whole, Capt Finch of the Cymric judged
that the vessel had not been long over
turned. He believes that the ship cap
sized suddenly and that all on board may
have been lost. None Of the schooner's
small boats was seen. On no portion of
the derelict above water was there any
thing by which her name could be ascer-
tained.
