Blink Haven, o., March rs
With the Mohican river
nine feet higher than ever
before in the history of this
town and with the flood ris-
ing with appalling rapidity,
the situation here is terrible.
Five persons are known to
have drowned and many 9TH
ers are missing and are be-
lieved to be victims of the
swirling river. Buildings
are being washed away in
large numbers and families
in the lowlands are deserting
their homes and fleeing for
their lives to higher coun-
try. Stories of death and
destruction come from high
or up in the valley but moth
ing can be confirmed.
Since Tuesday morning
the family Of Harry Work
man has been missing but
was thought to be secure
with friends. Their home
was carried away early yes
terday morning, but their
whereabouts was unknown.
The house was whirled away
from its foundation after the
water had reached the sec.
ond story windows and it
was carried down with the
current as far as the railroad
bridge. It lodged against
the bridge and remained
there in the jam formed by
buildings Of various sizes
and. descriptions and a vast
amount Of drift. t.wood. Be-
fore 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning men viewing the
scene Of devastation and be-
ing Of an adventurous frame
OF mind, worked their way
out on tho threatened bridge
and explored the wreckags.
II was by these men that

family but the danger to the
rescuers was great.
About half past one We'd
nesday afternoon two un-
identified bodies were found
near the mill at this place.
It Is believed that the bo-
dies are those Of members Of
the Folger family, whose
home was swept away by the
flood on Tuesday afternoon.
The bodies were placed
on stretchers and a full iden-
tification will be made later.
Other reports of drown
ings were current at this
place before 10 o'clock We'd
nesday morning and search
ing parties were at work
constantly to discover bo-
dies of persons who might
have fallen victims of the
food. Many bodies Of ami
mails sweep past and the loss
to live stock in the valley
north of here is very great.
Entire droves of sheep and
hogs are reported lost and
dozens of horses and cattle
are known to have been
drowned.
In Brink Haven the condi-
ton is growing worse every
hour not only because the
water is rising fast but be-
cause t b e obstruction
against the railroad bridge
has detected the current and
has thrown it to the west
and farther into the town.
Buildings large and small are
leaving their foundations as
the water rises upon them
and fioated down the stream.
The large cold storage plant
here has been flooded and the
structure fioated early We'd
nesday morning. 1t moved
slowly away and was soon
sweeping away with the riv-
en-. A large box, barrel and
basket factory was washed
away at nearly the same
time as the cold storage
plant and was destroyed
with a large amount of stock
Three barns and a black
smith shop were swept away
within an hour and all oi
them lodged against the rail
road bridge. The road-bed
and track OF the Pennsyl-
|.vania railroad just west Of
the bridge is washed away
for a distance Of several hun
dred feet. Every bridge fol
many miles north of here
has been washed away ol
destroyed.
The danger that is most
feared now is the persistent
efforts made by the villagers
to return to their half sub
merged homes. Efforts ale
being made to restrain them
from running into this I'M
necessary danger.

The body is the tent where our ex-

think Of 1t, the more I see that the
mind is something outside of the soul,
as the hands are outside of the body.

branches outside of the trunk 1t helps
to do more, but not to be more. The
mind is fire of which thought Is the
flame. The imagination is the eye of
the soul.-Joseph Joubert.
