Willi imsmbt, Pa., Maj 20,
THIS city is passing through at lata
of flood t-xcittment aneqaaitd
siuoe the memorable June 1,
lSJH'J. when the river returned
the unpr ced er.ted height of thirty
three aud a hulf Uet anil inundated
two-thirds of the city. For forty oigtit
hours past ralu has been falling heavily
throughout the West Branch witter
shed nud tonight the ri -r is eleven
feet high and rising rapidly- Tho con
ditions are ehroudtfd in such uncer
tainty that no man can predict what
the night will bring forth and the
wildest and most extravagant rumors
are afloat,
Profiling by the experience of five
years ago those in prospective danger
have spent the day removing their ef
pff. cts to places of safely, and this
Sunday has been a bedlam in William
sport. The city never experienced a
livelier due The scenes that were wit
nessed batll d description. Thousands
of men worked lik-d leavers
removing goods to bigh ground or to the
upper stories of buildings and the
rumble of heavy wheels, the ibootl of
excited men and the ringing of a large
h 11 broke tho Sabbath stillness ami
made tbe day a weird one indeed.
Such a topsy turvy condition of bouse
hold goods and merchandise in store
rectus was never before wltu -sied here
THE LOGS FI. i AT AWAY
The situation tonight is discouraging
to say tbe least, for the fain la falling
in torrents and all the etruuins weal of
this city are raging torrents At least
10,000,000 feet of logs have gone dowu
the river, but the big boom, with its
150,000,000 feet remains intaet. West
ol hern many ot the .treains are as high
or higher than in IMt.
Duriug the day lugs were running in
the river at this point, those passing
...... the stream during the early
bouts being from striugt which had
beau ratted together anil tied up at
points above ihe duin Soma were iu
fleets, while others had p) ces of rope
tied to them, while sv-ral were notic-
d witb cables d.-aggiug after
Late in the afternoon the logs com
menced to ton heavy, tiii b. oiu on tbe
south side, below the M ynar I street
bridge, having given away under tba
heavy pressure brought to bear. The
li.s it contained were for the most part
tiKise wbion had eacaped from above and
were again caught. It is said that tho
amount of lozs wnirli rsc tped was coin
paralively small. Iliom Moss Dinehart
was bosy with his i row and steamer
I.'urlng the day tt.ey visited tbe main
boom and did their be to s'rengben
all weak points Mr Dinehart said
that he th tight he ct uld hold the log
tbis boom contained on a twenty-live
or twenty-six foot flood.
MOM at UX9H nmiAM.
Iletween I be hour of noon and 1
o'clock tbe boom at Lindn broke
There were about 10,000.000 feet in
the structure and when it gavo way
the Inge startsd down st renin It was
at first thought that iu"t of the logs
could be caught iu the tnaiu boom, but
it was not deeme I advisable to do tbia
owing to the fact that the pressure on
the structure was th-u alnTOft too
heavy for it to bear it. The additional
strain, which would have been au I -den,
would be entirely loo great, and
the content! of the main boom would
also go The runaway log! w te theie
fore allowed to pass.
Lock Haven boom was reported to
have iven way under tba preMttrt of
high wter ami it was sai l that 15,
MX). 000 feet started down stream on a
ten-foot Hood. Lumbermen lu re were
of the opinion that tiie logs should be
caught aud efforts will be made lo give
t In in a safe Imi bor.
Edgar Unoaoo ratlved a mtaaage
about 10.80 this morning stating that
the loye and boom at Two Mile aud
Cook's Run, branches of Rettlo craek,
broke looso at about 10 o'clock and are
on their way down street, Owing m
the hub water the loga will come on
through and probably reach here.
At 1 o'clock this morning tlx) great
boon, witb its millions of dollar! worth
of uncut lumber, gave away, and Will
ianisport will awaken at daybreak to a
sense of great financial disaster. The
river is twenty -five seet high.
