Throughout last night there was ev
cry indication of furious Storm
and the people living In the low
lands began making preparations TO
vacate their homes II the occasion
required it.
Early this morning is began rain
ing, but by ten iclock the tempera
ture grew collier and snow was fall
ing. However, the warm weather
Turing the past few days had caus
ed great part of the snow to melt.
and the water running into the
small streams swelled them almost
to the banks. The rain added It's
share, and before noon today many
streams were reported OVERLOOKING
and inundating all Of the lowlands.
The Cannery Boom, at noon to-
day, looked more like lake than
it has for years. Water was stanl
ing practically everywhere from one
to three feet deep. and had reached
the doors of many homes. The PEG
pie were alarmed and many were
preparing TO seek higher round.
The Tuscarora began rising early
today. The small streams uowiflng
into 1t caused II to rise very quick
~, and shortly afternoon the banks
were unable to contain the vast vol
ume Of water. The people residing
in many sections on Water street
are facing a serious situation. Many
| homes are marooned, and unless
there is rapid fall in the streams
much damage is sure to follow, and
perhaps some homes will be remov'
ed from their foundations.
The city schools today held but
one session, the teaihe 8 deeming II
wise not to reqdire t e rhildren to
attend the afternoon session.
Along the Potomac there Is con

and travel in many places has been
abandoned
Railroad traffic has not yet beef
seriously effected, gut It Is believed
that the trains from st. Louis. Chi
cago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh will
arrive late because OF conditions are
worse there than here.
The opinion was entertained this
afternoon that gy tomorrow the stu
alton would be much improved as
the coll wave, which is accompany

the rise Of the streams.
