Judge Feland was so overcome

having risen twenty-five feet in
twenty-four hours. Lowlands and
bottoms were overflowed from hill
to hill. Several residences in this
city were flushed and inmates were
forced to wade oat. The water
reached its highest about 2 o'clock
this morning. The public roads
and county bridges have been dam
aged thousands of dollars.
Old residents say this was the
highest overflow ever seen here.
Other points along the |. G. railroad

done on roads, bridges and on the
farms. Extra crews are replacing
railroad tracks and trestles. All
trains are delayed.

FRATERNAL INSURANCE BILL
State Departments Solidly Behind
Measure Safeguarding Policyholders.

Following the conference Of committee
of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners with a joint committee rep
resenting the fraternaI insurance societies
of the country, which has been in session
here, 1t was announced that practical
agreement had been reached upon a regu-
iative measure for safeguarding the ST.
000, 600 Of fraternal insurance now out
standing.
Bills to put the proposed reforms into ef-
feet will be introduced in the various state
legislatures. Heretofore the fraternal in
surance societies have been exempt from
the state regulations imposed upon other
insurance companies. and recent develop
ganizations were in an unsatisfactory con-
dition through failure to impose adequate
rates upon their members.
The New York Insurance Department will
ask the joint committee of. the fraternal
societies to consent to a few minor amend
ments to the bill when it is introduced in
the state Legislature. The representatives
OF the insurance departments Of all the
states are standing solidly behind the pro-
posed bill, and with the approval Of the
official representatives of the National Fra.
ternal Congress and the Associated Fra
ternities it is expected that legislation will
be enacted that will protect the policy
holders OF the fraternaI societies through
state regulation.

wrecked crews bear testimony to the ex-
cellent seamanship and bravery OF Captain
Uberroth and his men. particularly Karl

the boats crews which handled the rescue
work in each case And IL was Johannssen
who directed the Loud into port at the

FIRE IN TWO STEEL VAULTS
Department Two Hours Breaking
In to Reach Stubborn Blaze.

Two steel vaults, one In the offices of the
Combination Ladder Company, on the
fourth floor of No. 80 Park Place, and the
other just above 1t, in offices of the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company, on the
fifth floor, were burned out by fire which
started from spontaneous combustion last
night. In the vault of the Combination
company acids and chemicals used in the
manufacture Of fire extinguishers. as well
as fire fighting appliances, were destroyed.
The fire was first discovered by the
watchman OF the building who turned in
an alarm. When fremen arrived they
found the halls filed with. smoke, but
finally reached the main blaze, in the
fourth floor vault and started to break
in to it. 1t took them nearly two hours.
In the mean time the fire had spread to
the fifth floor vault in which were kept
plans and papers drawn up for F. W.
Gardiner, principal assistant engineer Of
the Interborough company, who occupies
the Offices.
Carboys of vitrioi used In filing fire ex-
tinguishers sold by the ladder company
broke and the fumes of the acid almost
smothered the firemen. The damage is es-
timated at more than $500
