EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD
APPARENT EVERYWHERE
ttlie Lackawanna River Never no
High as on Saturday Evening.
Much Damage to Public and Pri
vate Property.
In its history the Lackawanna river
was never so high as it was Saturday
evening and yesterday. The water be
gun to rise Saturday afternoon and
was steadily rising Saturday evening
until after 1) o'clock, when It began to
recede.
Its highest point was rrachcil at 0
o'clock, when It came within eighteen
Inches from Ihe bottom of the nrtih In
,'tlie center of tlio Sixth avenue bridge.
On the sides, where the arch narrowed
down, the rush of water dashed against
the bridge and splashed upon the per
sons on the bridge.
Grave alarm was felt for the safety
Itif the bridge, and hundreds viewed the
' scene. All were of one opinion if the
water reached the bottom of the arch,
' considerable damage would be caused
; on Hiver street and Sixth avenue. Yes-
terday morning the water began to rise
' again nnd lute In the afternoon It was
almost up to Saturday night's point,
' when it again began to recede, and last
evening there seemed no cause for
further anxiety.
A rumor gained credence through the
.' city Saturday night of the unsufety of
'. Stillwater dam, located above Forest
' City, hut messages received from that
: vicinity stated that there was little
' danger of the largo dam bursting.
Yesterday sightseers were out In
force, and the banks above the river
t bed and the bridges were visited by
l numbers running over the thousand
' mark.
The rush or water In Fnllbrnok river
,' has receded greatly, and it Is now sate
. to cross the bridge. The fury of the
Hood is now spent, but there is scarcely
. a part of the city which does not show
the ravages of the elements. The great-
i est loss to private property has been
caused on Brooklyn street, while the
damage on Wayne and Park streets,
and Seventh avenue, means u cnnslil-
; erablo loss to the city.
As a result of the tlood, those tlior
l nughfures are In tin impassable condl
i t Ion. and- the Pity will be placed at a
j considerable expense to have the places
' again In condition for tralllc. The
i havoc was caused by the water which
poured from the old workings of the
', Last Chance mines, on the Kast Side
'. mountain.
; A couple of years ago. It Is said, the
Temple Iron company changed the
. course or the water from Its Last
Chance mine, making an opening into
; the old! Dickie Jones mine. It has since
. then found an outlet on the hillside
-. east of the city, back or the property
' or George YV. Hughes, on Wayne street.
Much or the water from the sheds cast
of the city lliuls its way Into those
workings, and Friday afternoon Its vol
ume became so great that It broke
through the opening In the side of the
hill with lite fury of u river. Saturday
, morning the stream was at Its highest
point, and wrought great havoc,

NARROW ESCAPE OF
THE GARREY FAMILY
The Members Overcome by Coal Gas,
and Are Rescued Just in Time to
Escape Death by Asphyxiation.
The family of Michael Ourrey, of
South Terrace street, litnl a narrow es
cape from being asphyxiated by coal
gas on Saturday night. Their escape
from Its dire effects was due to one of
the family, Miss Laura, being laid up
with a cold. During the night she was
awakened several times with coughing
spells, und at '2 o'clock noted the un
natural breathing of her mother, whose
room was near her. She went Into the
room to Investigate and spoke to her
mother, but on receiving no answer,
suspected that something had happened
and vigorously slapped her on the face
until she awakened. Mr. f Surrey also
awakened.
Mrs. Gorrey had no more than got
her eyes open when she succumbed.
Miss Sarah, who occupied an adjoining
room, was awakened by the noise In
her mother's roonii and arose from her
bed. She fell away as soon as her
feet touched the lloor, but was uncon
scious but a few seconds, the shock of
tlie fall restoring her to her senses.
The smell of the coal riis was very
strong, and she realized what was
wrong. Catching up her young brother,
.lohn. In her arms, she made a dash for
the window. On her way she foil away
again and with her burden fell down
the llight of stairs.
In the meantime, Mr. (Surrey had
opened the windows, allowing the fresh
air in, and then dashed out to the
neighbors. lie succeeded In arousing
several, who gave prompt aid in get
ting the sufferers near the open win
dows, and Mr. Garry hastened for
medical assistance.
Dr. John Js'lles responded, and admin
istered medicine to counteract the ef
fects of the gas. Mr. Garrey almost
fainted while In the doctor's ofilce, and
staggered to and back from there.
Yesterday Mrs. Garrey and Sarah
were confined to their beds, while the
remaining members of the family were
able to be around the house. Miss
Sarah received a bad gash over her eye
by falling down the stairs, and John,
who was In her arms, had a slight cut
on his lip.
All .the family slept on the second
story. The gas arose from the Spe.rl
heater, and was probably due to the
wet conl used early in the evening.
Owing to the Hood, water hud entered
the cellar and ran Into the coal-bin.
The gas, on accumulating, blew- off the
entire cover of the heater and then
found its way to the various parts of
the bouse. The smell of gas had been
In the bouse soon after the fire was
Ilxed and before the family had retired,
but no notice had been taken of it. as
the members or the family who noticed
the smell thought It would soon wear
away.
All of the family have been pro
nounced out 'of danger, and although
Mrs. Garrey and Sarah are very ill
from the effects, yet they will be able
to be around in a short time.
Saturday night was the first night In
two weeks that .Mr. Garrey had. been at
home, as his work demands his atten
tion at night.
THE GROUND SANK

Delaware and Hudson Men Just Miss
Going Down in a Cave-in Near
Fallbrook Street.
Foreman Mark Campbell, of Xo. 1
mines; .1. IC. Hose, foreman of Cole
brook colliery; Charles N'euser, Will
iam Connolly, William Wells and Km
inett Campbell had a very narrow es
cape from being InJureirSattirday, per
haps fatally. The party had been in
vestigating the damugu caused by tho
Hood at the fan house near Fallbrook
street when they heard a dull rumbllng
tiolse like, that or .distant thunder.
They attributed it to the elements and
continued with their Investigations
when another rumbling sound beneath
their feet warned them that something
was wrong. Ono of Hie crowd no
ticed a tpdver In tho snow -on which
they were standing and at once shout
ed that the ground was caving in.
They all rushed away and had only
reached safety a few second befqro thu
ground on which they had been stand
ing went down with a terrlllo noise.
The cave-In was ono of "tho largest
seen In this city In some time. It cov
ers an area of over forty feet and Is
fully twenty feet deep. Tho, men wero
on the brink still running when tho
ground fell In and they expected a
Uarger part to be affected. The scene
of the cave-In Is In -a ho)lo)v and In a
part where a cave-In Is no frequent w
euroiieo. The cause of tho fall is at
tributed to the many streumS of water
which have been llowlug down from tho
West Side mountain' und- which mak
ing largo llssures In the ground weak
ened It over the mines causing the cot
lapse. The cave.ln occurred lute Sat
urday afternoon.

WE AKE IT.
How The Tribune Was the Only Pa
per in Chrbondalo Saturday Morn
ing. It Is modestly stntlng a fact, we bo
llevc.when we say The Tribune has it
habit of giving the pjjople all the news
In the best manner and under till cir
cumstances, no matter how nil verse,
and what the cost might be.
This lutblt was In evidence on Satur
day In the face of the big Hood that
Swept the valley, paralyzing railroad
tralllc and making the roads extremely
hazardous for driving. In the face of
these obstacles, Tribune enterprise, as
usual, asserted Itself and early lit the
evening, when It wus certain that no
trains would go to Scrnntou, the man
agement or the Curbondule .brunch of
fice or the paper arranged to get the
news to Scranton by means or the pony
express, regardless of the Inconveni
ence or danger. The Tribune's readers
must have the news and through their
favorite paper and they did have It In
detail early Saturday morning, hours
before any other paper saw sight of
Curbondule. It was done only through
well It doesn't matter how so long
as the readers were served.
How our esteemed contemporary, the
Evening Leader, regarded the achieve
ment may be seen in the following
which appeared In Its Issue of Satur
day: "The only paper Hint reached hero
tills morning was the Scranton Trib
une, nnd their arrival wus due only to
the enterprise and daring of two Cor
bondttllans: Martin T. O'Malley, the
local manager of The Tribune, and ills
assistant, Thomas V. Nealon. No
trains were running last night, so lit
order to get the news to Scranton
Messrs. O'Malley and Nealon hired a
livery rig and braved the Hoods. They
hod a terrible time and were neurly
swept away on several occasions; the
water In some places reaching us high
as the horses' shoulders. The occu
pants of the buggy hud to stand upon
the seat to escape the water. They
reached Scranton, however, about mid
night and returned this morning with
a big roll of papers."

JERMYN AND MAYF1ELP.
The heavy freshet of the past three
days has done considerable damage in
this vicinity, the most serious, perhaps,
being the Hooding of tlie Glenwood
shaft, which has only been' in operation
the past two months, after an Idleness
of seven months, caused by the freshet
or last Muy. The water was several
feet up the shaft last evening. During
the day the big buckets, each holding
about 1,000 gallons, which were used at
the former Hooding, were again put In
operation, and will be worked day and
night until the water is out.
At Maylleld, scores of houses had
their cellars Hooded, and the damage
done by the same cause at T. M. Hart's
and J. J. Place's stores by the ruin of
stock, will amount to several hundred
dollars.
At Jermyn, the Ontario and Western
railroad track is badly washed, and on
Saturday fears were entertained that
the Iron bridge north of the depot would
be washed uway, the abutments being
in imminent danger. A force of men
were put at work during the afternoon
nnd succeeded in averting the danger
by depositing large stones In tlie river
near tlie abutments. The river at this
point, where a sharp bend occurs, again
divided itself, a portion of the water
taking a straight course nnd Hooding
tlie cellars of Burgess Pendered'and his
neighbors, and then passing under
neath tlie Ontario and Western tracks,
aguln took its natural channel In the
river.
During Saturday night, the water In
the river nnd botli creeks abated con
siderably, but the heavy rain, which
lasted almost all day yesterday, caused
another rise and at G o'clock last even
ing the river was us high as at any
time during the past three duys. Con
siderable damage bus been done to the
bridges and culverts, which have been
partly swept away.

JESSUP.
The severe storm of Friday did con
siderable damage to this town, espec
ially In the Storrlck Crock Patch where
all the streets and collars were Hood
ed. It seems that Michael HIznay, pro
prietor of the Hlzna house, wus the
greatest looser, having his cellar which
contained several hundred dollars'
worth of merchandise, tilled with
water. All the curb and sidewalk on
Depot street wero washed out. Tlie
Sterrick Creek mine was Hooded out
und ns a result will be Idle a few days.
Some parts of the Mt. Jessup mine
were tilled to the root. This colliery
has been idle the past month nnd will
not be ready to resume operation be
fore at least another mouth,, owing to
some extensive repairs being made on
the breaker.
Among those who were stalled In
Scranton from Friday afternoon until
Saturday afternoon were Burgess

DALTON.
The greatest Hood that has ever been
known In Dalton and vicinity occurred
yesterday. The rapid thaw in' snow
the past few duys tilled the creeks
which flow through this place up to the
top of its banks by an early hour yes
terday morning. Soon after daybreak
rnla began to fall and the remaining
snow quickly melted and torrents of
water lushed down the hillsides swell
ing the How of tho creek so that by
10 o'clock it had overflowed its banks.
As the minutes passed by tho water
continued to rise so that by noon all
the lowlands along the creek were In
undated and buildings situated on
these parts and surounded With water
were In imminent danger of 8)elng swept
away. People living In ' one or two
dwellings thus stlunted quickly moved
out. The' water continued to rise until
about 3:30 o'clock when It began to
recede and In the course of an hour It
nad fallen about two feet. The new
stone bridge which wus built lust fall
at a cost of $1,200 and which was the
pride of the town, is now In ruins as
the result of the Hood. People wore
standing on the bridge watching the
water rush underneath It and tho de
bris which was being carried along
when suddenly ono side of thft bridge
gavo way and fell into the angry tor
rents below. Moment by moment por
tions of the roof of tho arch eav.ed In
and the bridge boon became Impassable
until linallv communication between
the two sides of tho borough wero prac
tically cut off. Tho water main which
was laid In the bridge at the time It
was built was without support when
the arch fell. There being Indications
that ti would break tho water was
turned off and the east side of tho
borough was without a supply of water.
W, H. Smith had a wagon standing
near his Irani and It was swept down
the creek and broken Into many pieces.
At the rear of Miss Kennedy's place
more than twenty feet of earth was
washed away doing considerable dam
ago to their lot. Down on tho turn
pike toward Glenburn the water ran
over the road to a depth of two feet anil
more so that travel had to be suspend
ed, Great fear was entertained all
the ufternoon that tho dam of tho
Glenburn pond would break but at fi
o'clock it was standing apparently
linn, although a large quantity of Ico
was blocked up against it. From re
ports great damage has been done to
roads und bridges in the outlying dis
tricts. .Mrs, Waty Carpenter, of Wallsvlllo,
