A Sudden Rise In Middlecreek Did ConmJer
able Damage i" Property on the Flnta.
The heavy rams of Saturday and Sat
urday eveding led us all in look for
high water, hut uo one dreamed of set.
Ing such a sudden rise and sn much
iimnge. At :i o'clock Sunday morn
ing many of the residents of the Flats
began to desert their homes in hoi
haste. The water arose so rapidly, no
"i ild tell when ii would slop. A
mid-night prowler awakened the resi
dents on the south side !' Markel
street and called them oul to look
after their stock. At four o'clock Sun
day morning the water reached the
highest point jus' 3 f ct less than the
high flood of I88O1 The smiles in the
Hooded district, when the uai r fell,
represented wreckage, debris, devasta
tion and ruiiu Water entered every
cellar from the jail to the Middlecreek
bridge. In tbe jail the furnace lires
were extinguished. Chickens belong
ing to H. & Blekhart and Mary Wal
ter were drowned, while the contents
fa dozen cellars wererulned.PotatoeB,
celery, vinegar, apples, canned frull
and other necessities of life took a dip
hi the refreshing wateis. The Luther
an church cellar was filled with Ad
am's all- and the persistent church
goers were compelled to read their
llililcs al home as the furnaces had
taken a shower bath at the very time
they should have done service for the
congregation. When the water threat,
etied Charles Spaid's bog pen, be grab,
lied his fattest hog by the hind leg,
stabbed it In the neck, dragged it to a
little higher spot and began butchering
while the mighty waters rushed by in
a furious rage The other hog Bought
its own safety, ami Charles is happy
with fresh sausage and a full supply of
meal. The public flag stone walk sus
talned some damage, and tin- fence was
removed for a considerable distance,
The brick walk Where . A. Bowes
lives was torn out and a gutter 1J feet
leep remains to tell the story. The
ilag stone walk recently laid by I. II.
Bowersox has been displaced, the hoard
vvalk and fence at the Evangelical
chape was removed and the brick
walk at the Dunkelberger residence
was reduced to a chaotic mass.
The waters did not reach the floors
of any dwelling-, hut the carpets wen
ton! up in several hollies to meet the
emergency.
The high water was due to one or
i mt h of two causes. First, very heavy
rains up Middle, reek Valley, and se
cond to impeding the current of water
by lumbei lodging al the new bridge,
rhe scenes after the flood along Sugar
street resembled more an abandoned
and neglected rural road than the
thoroughfare of a growing and prosper
ous village.
Letter to Dr. A. J. Herman,
MlDDLBBUROH, PA.
Dear Sir : You understand chemistry;
how'd you like to earn $100?
Devoe lead and zinc -that's the
name of our paint that lasts twice as
long as lead and oil -is made of white
lead, white-zinc, its color, turpentine
Iyer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds anything else ill
this paint, we'll pay his hill and 100
i ics ides.
It's nobody's business what we put
in our puint, of course; but we want it
known. For lead and zinc anil linseed
ire tbo stuff to paint with; and lead
uione is not.
We want it known that one word
leacribcs the best paint in the world;
and that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint V Yours truly,
F. W. Dkvok & Co.
