 Vessel Broke Loose.
 The article goes on to tell of indf- vidual losses about the center of the city which was entirely submerged. Vessels in the harbor were in danger Of coming ashore at any moment and one vessel broke loose, was carried down to the plant of the Richmond stove works and brought back again by the eddy. Railroad tracks were covered and washed so that all trains were discontinued. The story con- tinues:
 Baltic Dam Gave Way.
 At half past 12 a despatch was re- ceived from Baltic saying that the dam there had given way. This eX- cited gravest approximations for the safety of the Greeneville dam, and it was not long before the sudden rise of the Shetucket gave evidence of a above. The Worcester depot was soon under water so that a couple of men went into the waiting room in a boat and rescued the gents property in tile tIChel OlIlCo Ou CuSSlnuL street as far as Willow and on Bath street the water was up part way to the windows of the houses Along the lower wharves the rise was so rapid that there was great danger of the vessels lying there being stove and the City of Norwich, which had been laid up for the season at the new wharf, got up steam and her moorinSs being cut started down stream for New London
 Spraeue Cotton Mill Wrecked.
 At Baltic the cotton mill of the A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing company was wrecked, the loss totaling about S100, 900. The factory employed 1,000 men at that time. Of a party of five attempting to cross the river here in a boat, four were drowned when the beat capsized.
 In Versailles a woman leaped from q window and in landing allowed her baby to slip from her arms and the child was drowned.

 The manufactories in the Greene vile section suffered perhaps the heaviest losses of any section of the city. On the Yantic the losses were comparatively light,

 Home For Old Pastors
 The problem of caring for it's aged retired preachers and their wives has long been perplexing one to the Methodist church. For this reason, the New England conference is creating a trust fund, the income from which will be paid to needy, aged clergymen, a fund that has already passed, it is said, the $250, 900 mark.

SCHOOLS SUFFER
FOR LACK Of
MONEY
bel ~ -
State, Behind Financially Has
Not Paid Any Part Of Appro-
priations This Year.

Reports made public Tuesday by
I'd Comptroller General William A.
Wright revealed that Georgia schools
this year are suffering even more than
usual from the non payment Of school
funds, not a cent having been paid as
yet on the 1913 appropriations.
Despite the GepIorable conditions Of
other years, 10 or IS per cent Of the
fund. at least. has been paid by the
middle Of June, and sometimes the
amount has reached 20 or Is per cent
It is SAID at the Capitol that unless
the finances OF the state are better
conserved by the Legislature the
school funds win not be taken care q
next year until November and that
soon the State will be a whole year
behind in its payments.
The last General Assembly passed
appropriations nearly half a million
dollars in excess Of the revenues Of
the state for the two years for which
IL acted, 1912 and 1913. Out OF the
appropriations $500 600 was set aside
for the public schools but they have
not received a cent Of the appropria
ton.
More Spent Than Received.
The revenues Of the state in 1872
from all sources were approximately
S5,6lO000 Appropriations were
S5949 600 which would have made an
excess Of appropriations over reve-
nues Of $3.50. 900 had not tax assess
ments Of the State showed an in
crease, reducing the net deficit TO
1902, zoo
Comptroller Wright does not antic-
ipate a substantial tax assessment in
crease this year. The estimated rev.
enues reach S5.673.005, but the Cen
eral Assembly already has approprl-
ated S5,904 567, making an estimated
deficit of 1921 562.
state officials are strong in their
advocacy Of some measure or pro-
cedure that Will bring the revenues
up to the level Of the appropriations.
Comptroller Wright and state Treas
urer Speer are in favor Of tax
reform as one method to effect TINS
purpose This rs in line with Govern
or Browns annual message 10 the last
General Assembly.
