OF DOLLARS DAMAGE
DONE BY ELECTRICAL STORMS

Residential and Business Sec.
tiOns of Syracuse Are Six
inches Under Water.

ALBANY. n Y. June 1.-Two
deaths and property damage as yet
Qnestimated but known to run into
millions of dollars, resulted from a
series of electrical storms that broke
over northern and central New York
last night and today. Flood conditions
prevail along portions of the Mohawk
Valley and westward through Oneida
and Syracuse.
The property loss at Syracuse was
placed at $1.O00,oO0 and 1t was believed
that the city Of Oneida was damaged
to the extent of s500.0o0. The resi-
Dental and business sections of Syra-
cuse We're from six inches to a foot
under water, and the tunnel under the
Erie canal, through which the New
York Central trains pass was flooded,
One train was marooned in the low
lands near the tunnel, but the pas
scr.gers were removed TO safety. Flood
conditions at Oneida were worse than
at any time since the record flood Of
1891. The entire section of the city
was like a lake. Buildings at Frank
fort, in the Mohawk Valley were
moved from their foundations by the
flood and the Mohawk river near
Herkimer was Is foot above its nor
NAL level.

shows no decided change. Altogether the
picture continues to be one of gradual

whole exceeds expectations entertained
earlier in the year.
