DANGER
LOOKING DOWN WEST CARBON STREET.
At midnight the Indications wore that
February's llorce farewell performance
In the matter of weather was at an
end. Precipitation hod ceased, the
skies were clearing and the air was
porlpittlous of fair weather.
These, truly, were welcome signs to
the thousands of lowland residents,
who for a week pant have been living
In fear of a flood and, for two days
past, have either sought shelter among
their highland neighbors or stood In
readiness to do that same at any mo
ment. Horly Saturday morning the waters
began to recede and with the coming
of tho day thete was every Indication
that the elements had exhausted them
selves. The sun came out and during
the whole of Saturday, except In the
morning, when an Impenetrable fog
settled over the whole valley, a beauti
ful spring day obtained.
By daylight yesterday morning the
liver and Its tributaries had gotten well
back within their banks, but the day
had only begun when rain commenced
to fall, and tit noon time the streams
once more began la rise. In five hours
the liver rose thirty Inches. The rain
ceased at nightfall and at 9 o'clock the
waters ceased to rise. From that time
on they fell gradually but steadily and
by midnight they were again back to
the level of Saturday night. With no
more rain It is a safe calculation that
the flood will be a thing of the past be
fore tonight Is many hours old.
What the heavens contributed to
wards a recurrence of Friday's flood
was augmented on the South Scranton
Hats by the released water from the
Kast Mountain reservoirs. In conse
quence there was a repetition yesterday
of many of the scenes of Friday night.
ANOTHER BOY DROWNED.
Another boy, Joseph Gallagher, of
Taylor, was on Saturday added to the
list of flood victims, making three in
all. There Is a fear also that a fourth
victim has been contributed by Taylor,
A miner, James O'Malley, is missing,
and It is supposed he was drowned. The
body of the Evans boy, drowned in
Keyser creek was recovered. The body
of the Naughton boy has not as yet
been found.
The Delawure, Lackawanna and
Western company was tied up Saturday
night by washouts but resumed traffic
yesterday. The Delaware and Hud
son company opened up its road Sat
urday morning, but the Ontario and
AVestern and Jersey Central ate still
tied up.
The Hood claimed a. third victim In
this locality, Saturday. Joseph Gal
lagher, a 11-year-old Taylor boy, fell
from the bridge connecting Taylor and
Mlnooka and was swept away in tha
turbulent waters.
He was one of a number of persona
who were on the bridge about G o'clock
Saturday evening watching the river,
A wooden guard rail, against which ho
wns leaning, broke and he was precipi
tated Into the liver. The swift current
lapldly carried him down the stream,
nnd In a short while he disappeared.
Tho body had not been recovered up
to a Into hour last night. Tho boy
was the only son of an aged mother
who was widowed three years ago by
an explosion In the Jermyn & Co. mines
in Old Forge.
PROBABLY ANOTHER.
It Is believed that Taylor has con
tributed it fourth victim. James O'Mal
ley, aged thirty-five, a miner at the
Arehbald colliery, came out of the mine
early Saturday afternoon nnd started
for home. Nothing has been seen or
heard of him since. It Is feared he
was drowned In crossing Keyser creek
on his way home. He was an unmar
ried man and boauled at. Youngbldod's
hotel. Tho fact that he wns ti total
abstainer from Intoxicants heightens
tho belief that something tragic has
befallen him.
The body of young Daniel Evans, the
boy who was drowned In tho Keyser
Valley creek on Friday, was recovered
on Saturday morning about a half mile
down the stream from the point where
he fell In.
A searching party had been at work
for sometime before the body was
found, and Just about the time It was
recovered the boy's father appeared on
the scene, and carried the lifeless form
home.
Cotoner Saltry wus notified and will
hnld an Inquest today, The funeral
services will be held at tho house In
Sloan Patch tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock, Interment will be made In the
Washburn street cemetery.
Great alarm was occasioned all dur
ing Saturday by a report thut the Elm
hurst dam was In danger of giving
away. The Ice on the reservoir broke
at -1 o'clock In the morning and gorged
at the spillway. Hugo floes pounded
nt tho dani with grout force and the
Gas and Water company officials sent
word along the lino of Roaring Brook
for tho residents to be ready to move
out quickly at the first warning of a
Hood. It was arranged In this city
that the steel mill gongs should be
sounded If tho dam broke, All day
long the people of tho Hats lived In
fear. Towards nightfall their fear
abated on the receipt of Intelligence
thut the Ice gorge had been success
fully bioken up by the use of dyna
mite, SUFFERED AOAIN.
Tho residents of South Scranton flats
were treated to u repetition of Friday's
flood on Suturduy, and while Jhe people
on the higher ground wero enjoying the
beautiful spring-like weather, thoso
who, unfortunately, have their homes
near the- Lackawunnu, between Ueech
OF FURTHER
DAMAGE
and Cherry streets, wero bury moving
their household effects.
At C o'clock the muddy overflow had
reached the same mark as the nlsht
previous, and at S o'clock It had passed
the previous high-water mark by fully
eighteen Inches, and reached a point
opposite the polling place on South
Washington nvonue. Several families
who had dared tho flood on the night
previous were compelled to vacate, and
the entire territory, bounded by tho
Delaware and Hudson on ono side and
tho river on tho other, and between
Beech and Cherry streets, was :t lonely
scene ot desolation, water and mud.
The opening of the Elmhurst dam
was said to bo the cause of the second
overflow, and at times the raging
waters of the Roaring Riook would
leap up and over the two bridges,
located at the Intersection of Beech
street and South Washington avenue.
The flood of the night previous had
weakened the foundation of a largo
house, owned by Thomas McGlnnnls,
nnd the continued battering-ram force
of the wateis, which meet at a point
opposite the dwelling, proved too
much, so that tho end nearest the river
tipped entirely over. In doing so the
structure parted from a one-story ad
dition in the rear, leaving a big V
shaped aperture between. The prop
erty Is practically ruined.
A contrast, which caused some com
ment, was the immovable appearance
of two sewer manholes at eacb end of
the McGlnnls house, which stood fully
two feet above the water, splf-accusiug
witnesses of their own impolency in
relieving the situation.
RAILS UNDERMINED.
The Jersey Central tracks, at it point
opposite tho Junction of tho Roaring
Brook and the river, have been com
pletely washed out, and, for over 300
feet, the rails and ties tiro at an tingle
of 43 degrees, tipping towards the liver.
John Moran, tho barber, was pre
vented from following his avocation on
Saturday night. A number oC cuslom
eis, who had been waiting their turn,
were caught by the rapidly rising water
and imprisoned for several hours. The
water receded so that he was able to
resume business, early yesterday morn
ing, so ihnj; his customers could attend
church with clean faces. At Casey &
Kelly's brewery, steam pumps and en
gines were kept busy, yesterday, draw
ing wa tor from tho storage cellars.
One thrifty saloonkeeper, whose front
door could not be used, because of the
flood. Improvised a board walk of
empty beer kegs and planks, reaching
to his back door, and the .advertising
value of the keg walk was easily ap
parent. The waters began to recede about
midnight, Saturday, and by 7 o'clock
yesterday morning had gone down fully
three feet. There was a momenta!
scare at 9 o'clock last evening. A rise
of several Inches occurred, owing to
tho backwater from the Meadow Brook.
It lasted only a short time, however,
and a great many people returned to
their houses. Every cellar In the Hood
ed district is tilled to the rafters.
A gold watch and chain dropped,
probably, by some Hoeing Hood sufferer,
was picked up yesterday by Alfred
Guthelnz. The owner can recover It by
identifying it, nt the Scranton Savings
bank.
CHANNEL CLOGGED.
Clogging up the liver channel caused
water to back up considerably In the
lowlands to the north and tho Diamond
Hats, Capouse, Park Place and Green
Ridge flats were again subjected to
Inundation. The General Phlnney En-'
glne company was called out Saturday
night to rescue families in the Paiker
street Ideality who feared to remain
over night In their homes. Sixteen
persons were taken out with the aid of
a boat. The Sehaffor home on Parker
street had Its foundations washed out,
and It settled Into the water at a slant.
'The occupants were rescued In u boat,
The Ash street bridge over tho Roar
ing Brook, back of Petersburg which
was loosened from Us abutments by tho
last flood, was again disturbed, this
time being carried some distance down
the stream.
Water from tho liver washed out tho
earth from about the foundations of
some of the heavy machinery at the
Bolt and Nut Works cuuBlng
them to sag, and necessitating the
shutting down of a part of the works.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western load which escaped uny very
serious III effects of tho flood Friday
begun to suffer severely on Saturday.
The Elmhurst dum overllowed tho re
tulnlng wall skirting the railroad and
washed out both tracks. The Delaware
river began to rlHe during tho night and
by noon time had covered the rull
load with severul feet of water. There
were ulso several smajl washouts on
the northern division and a big one at
Klniliu.
THE LAST TRAIN.
The lust train to come through from
Now York wus the express reaching
here at 0.50 p, in. Suturduy. Aftr this
train had gotten past the Deluwuro
Water Gap the river overflowed
and blocked the trucks. Train No. 4,
leaving hero for New York at 12.15 p.
m., started out Suturduy on time, but
was halted at Elmhurst by the washout
and compelled to transfer its passen
gers. The train on Jhe other side of
the washout got us fur as Stroudsburg
when a telegrum uunouueed that It
was impossible to get through tho gap.
The passengers had to remain at
Stroudsburg over night. They were
allowed to resume their Journey yester
day morn lug at 10 o'clock.
The llrst train to get through yester

Truesdalo. It arrived hero at 3 o'clock
and returned at B o'clock. President
Truewlulo and General Superintendent
Clark spout the Interim together con
sulting over the matter of keeping the
road clear.
Several thousand men were stationed
In gangs along tho whole length ot tho
main lino all of Saturday and yesterday
repairing the breaks caused by tho
Hood. General Superintendent Clatkc
and Division Superintendent Rlno re
mained up all night directing tho work.
Nearly all the other ofllclals likewise
put In a straight twenty-four hours
shift.
Two trains for New York were start
ed out yesterday afternoon, one befoie
and the other after the president's
special. News of tho resumption of
trnflic was sent to all the big hotels In
the two valleys, and when the llrst
train pulled Into tho Scranton station
headed for Xew York, two hundred be
lated passengers, including many from
AVIlkes-Barre and tho Tim Murphy
company from Carbondale, s-et up a
rousing cheer.
ACCEPTED TICKETS.
To save possible hardships the Lack
awanna odkials gave out the an
nouncement that tickets of foreign
companies, even though out-of-date,
would be accepted. A poor woman
with several children who had trans
portation on the Delaware and Hudson
and Lehigh A'alley from Carbondale to
Philadelphia was furnished with a pass
to New York and a ticket on the Penn
sylvania from there to Philadelphia.
The Tim Murphy company had Dela
ware and Hudson and Lehigh Valley
transportation to New York. The Lack
awanna company accepted It. The
"Our Minister" company went to New
York on the Lackawanna and thence by
the Pennsylvania to Wilmington, Del.,
where It is billed to play tonight.
The Hrst train to be sent north yes

place of the 1,55 p. in. flyer. The 0.50
p. m. train from New i one come
through all right and pioceeded north.
It was only about an hour late.
On the "Bloom" division of the Lack
awanna, things are not iuite so rosy.
The Plymouth uml Danville stations
are reported to be floating about like
huge houseboats and the tracks In that
locality for several miles are under
water. Superintendent Rlno and a
number of (initials wero down there
yesterday.
The Delaware and Hudson company
resumed truffle Saturday and kept its
road open continuously. Only one
track could bo used yesterday where
the washout occurred at Miners Mills.
Neither tho Ontario and AVestern or
Jersey Central mado any effort to rim
trains. They expect to be opened up
today.
Street car trnlllc was resumed early
Saturday morning and no interruptions
have since occurred.
DALTON CREEK.
Tho creek running through Dallon
became a llorce, rushing river Friday
and overllowed Its banks in many
places. People living on the lowlands
had to move with their stock to higher
ground, An abutment ot the new stone
arch culvert was washed out and tho
bridge collapsed. It was feared that
the Glenburn dam would burst and
persons living In the track the water
would taki If released deserted their
homes until the danger had subsided.
The Scranton Tribune was the only
paper to reach the upper valley Satur
day. It cpst many times the value of
the papers and no end of really thrilling
experiences to distribute the papers
through the Hooded valley but The
Tribune "got there just tho same." On
the Olyphant Hats, two Tribune men
with a team and wagon, drove orf the
road In a fog, and got into water that
made the horse give up walking and
took to swimming. The occupants of
the wagon stood on the seat, but oven
at that got their feet wet. Some of
the papers woio soaked but not made
Illegible.
The Elmlra Telegram pi luted Its
Scranton edition here. Local Manager
p, A. Barrett anticipated tho possibil
ity of tho tie-up of tho Lackawanna
and made arrangements that Insured
to the local readers tho delight of an
hour or so with "Casey" et nl. Tho New
York and Philadelphia papeis arrived
hero on the Lackawnnu yesterday af
ternoon, DAMAGE AT PECKVILLE.
Filday's storm and tho melting snows
wi ought groat damage In and about
Peckvllle, In Blakely Hull's creek got
on u rampage and toia up stteets and
tilled many cellars. At one time Fri
day night Main stieet of Blakely look
ed like it river. Water flowed through
yards, tilling cellars and doing great
damage. At Bell Pacc, Sulphur Brook
overflowed Its buulfe and people liv
ing In thut vicinity , wero obliged to
wade lu water two feet deep to reach
their homes. In Peckvllle prurter. very
little damage was done, beyond the
lining of cellars. On Cemetery stieet
the Delaware, Lackawanna and AVest
ein railroad was badly washed out.
Nearly one hundred feet"tf track wus
damaged.
On the East Side greater damage ie
suited. To put tho roads lu good shape
again will cost the borough u goodly
sum. The Sterrlck Creek und Mount
Jessup mines ore Hooded as well as
the Grassy Islund mlno of the Delu
waie und Hudson coinpuny. Tho Dolph
C'oul company has sustulned heavy
losses. A large trestle ut the breuker
was undermined by rushing wateis and
the trestle collapsed.
At Wlnton the tracks of the Delaware
and Hudson weic washed out and de
bris piled high upon tho track, effect
ually blocking all tralllc for neatly
twelve hours. Ono track was cleared
so that trains were able to puss over.
Just north of Wlnton a more serious
washout occurred. About three quar
tern of a mile south of Arehbald sta
tion Is a drift. Hack on the mountain
Is a large reservoir. This gave way,
letting tho water flow Into the mine
at another opening on the mountain.
The water found Its way to the mouth
of the drift and poured in si huge vol
ume and swept away part of the load
bed. A work train and a largo force ot men
worked night and day since Saturday
morning and it was not until last even
ing that the tracks were placed In a
passable condition.
HSS FAREWELL SERMON.
Rev. W. J. Ford, of Green Ridge Bap
tist Church, Preached for the
Last Time Yesterday.
Rev. AVUllam J. Ford, who has been
pastor of the Green RIdgc Baptist
church for the past nine years and a
half, and who has recently accepted a
call to the pastorate or the Flrbt Bap
tist church at Jamestown, N. Y.,
preached his farewell sermon yester
day morning, and bade good-bye to the
Hock which he has cated for since he
entered the ministry.
Tho church was crowded to the doois
with members ot the congregation and
other residents of Green Ridge, who
cherish dearly the friendship of tho de
parting clergyman. The latter was
deeply moved by the parting, and Ills
voice almost failed him several times.
He chose for his text II Corinthians,
13:!: "Finally, brethren, farewell. Bo
perfect, bo of good comfoi t, be of one
mind, live In peace; and the God of
love and peace shall be with you." He
said:

the growth of the church during ills

been received during that time. Ho

CRUSADE CALLED OFF.
Police Not Sure of Their Right to
Shoot Dogs.
The crusade against unmuzzled dogs,
begun by the police last week, has been
temporarily suspended, pending a little
research Into the law.
The owners of some of the dugs shot
last week have sci lously questioned the
right ot the. police to dispose of un
muzzled dogs lu this maimer, contend
ing that the police have power only lo
corral the dogs in a pound and notify
their owners to take them away, on
payment ot a line, befoie they can kill
them.
This has led the authorities to in
vestigate the question, and pending
this Investigation there will be no more
dogs shot.
