FrLooDp oN SPRING CerEK.—A few lurid Sashes of lightning and several loud peals_of thunder: yester- day morning, jnssat 2 o'clock, annonnced the coming of another . great flood on Spring creek. While it did not reach with- in three feet of the record height of Feh. 26th, 1902, yet it was high enough to carry much destraation along the stream and put the WATCHMAN'S press rooms under twenty-four inches of water. The rain came in occasional gusts, but of such a torrential nature that by four o'clock the water had reached "the danger line for us. At four-thirty it came in on our floors and kept rising until at four o'clock in the afternoon it had reached the height above given. While there was not so much snow back the fact that the ground was so badly frozen and coated with ice made it impossible for the water to find any other outlet than through the little channels to the stream. The rain kept falling almost continual- ly until one o’clock in the afternoon, when the wind changed to the west and it blew up colder. Then there was some hope of a. cessation. For bad it continued raining during the afternoon at the same rate thas it fell in the morning in all probability the flood of yesterday would have gone down in history as the largest ever seen here. No material damage has been reported along Spring creek or Logans branch, though many small bridges and fences have been swept away. At Bellefonte the match works, the Lin- gle foundry, the shirt factory and several other industries could not work because of the back water from the flood. The Phoenix pumping station had to stop early in the morning because of the back water and before the steam pumps could be started the reservoir was dry; leaving the steam heat works without water, consequently there was no heat for several hours. The water came down Bishop and How- ard streets in perfect torrents, filling most of the cellars to a level with the pave- ments and making it impossible for many people to get out of their homes. Buffalo-run was higher than it has been for years and surged over the railroad bridge at the round house until an engine had to be run onto it to keep it from going out. The American Lime and Stone Co’s. trestle at the Pike quarries is wrecked again and for most of the day the Penna. R. R. tracks from the home of Isaac Mitch- ell to ‘‘the turn’’ were under water so far as to make it impossible for a single train to reach this place over the Bald Eagle valley R. R. The wagon bridge over Baf- falo run at the glass works went out during the afternoon. THE BELLEFONTE CENTRAL BLOCKED. Owing to the high water in Buffalo-run the Bellefonte Central trains could not ges out of the yards yesterday morning, conse- quently there: was no train over the road during the day. It could not be ascertain- ed how much damage has been done to the line west of Coleville. THE FAIR GROUNDS SUBMERGED. The Centre county fair grounds were un- der water early.in the day,though the new retaining wall built along the stream last spring held the waters from sweeping across them in the same destructive our- rents that played such havoc two years ago. It cannot be told until today how much real damage has been done to that property. AT MILLHEIM AND SPRING MILLS. From Millheim reports came to the ef- fect that no damage at all had been done, as the creek there did not reach the danger point. At Spring Mills both Sinking creek and Penns creek were very high. The Allison’s mill dam on the latter was in danger of going out for awhile because of the drift. THE C. RB. R, OF PA. NOT DAMAGED. Though the water in Fishing creek was high enough to carry away both of the wagon bridges at Mill Hall little damage was done to the C. R. R. of Pa. tracks. In fact trains over that road were run- ning as usual all day. ALONG THE BALD EAGLE. It was not until about mid-day that the Bald Eagle got on a real rampage. About 1 o'clock the iron bridge nearest the grist mill at Unionville was carried away by the ioe that was gorged up in Dix run and all the lowlands flooded. _ - No particular damage was reported from Milesburg, Howard and points along the lower Bald Eagle, though the water was very high and running wild everywhere. IN A DILEMMA. About the worst case we Have heard of as a result of the flood is that of Richard Gunsallas, who lives at the routid house near the mouth of Boffalo-run. The water raised during the night so that they were entirely. isolated. Riobard, himself, is sick in bed and in order to save the family pigs and geese they were taken into the house. The pigs remained contentedly, but when it became necessary to hoist a window to get a little fresh air the geese all flew out instanter.

M. on Tuesday nighs, be went to his home and sometime later sof- fered the stroke, which has effected his en- tire right side, Though there are hopes of his recovery, his hfe is hanging by the merest thread and so little change has been noticeable in his condition as to make: the guestion of his survival a very grave one indeed. toi EL 6 a : Last evening his condition had not im- proved any. In fact if there was a change at all it was for the worse, as bis heart had become affected. ——Spangler, Cambria county, has a national bank now.

Dr. William Laurie, who has been pastor of their chareh for the past twenty-eight years. ., As to the causes leading wp to this de- cision there are many. But the principal. one seems to have been the desire to have a young man co-operating with Dr. Laurie for the extension of the church work. The congregation was divided on She question and it took several meetings and many compromises before they finally de- cided by a vote of 64 to 17 that an assis sant pastor should be called at a minimum salary of $1,000 perannum. . ©.

Ben Strunk was overcome by the heat within the building and staggering to the door he fell with the pame “‘John’’ on his lips. A few of the bystanders fortunately interpreted i aright, for upon rushing into the building they found John Robb, also overcome and helpless in the flames. , It was only by the hardest kind of work that Robert Cook’s house was kept from burning and bad i% started there is no telling how much property would have been destroyed in Howard. rn — pes ——Q@rip is prevalent in all parts of the sounty. a.
