hmbb w ii ifi® SAILED THEIEAS 38 YEARS. One of His Experiences. For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed the sea, most of that time as master of a vessel, ana upon retiring from t he water was appointed by the Secretary of the United States Treasury to superintend the neal fisheries In Alaska, which position he held five years. He relates one ex_perlence as follows: “For several years I had been troubled with general nervousness and pain In the region of my heart. My greatest affliction was sleeplessness;. It was almost Impassible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Mlles’ remedies advertised I began using Nervine. After taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that I was positively alarmed, thinking the remedy contained opiates which would finally be Injurious to me; but on being assured by the druggist that It was perfectly harrale a, I continued it together with the Heart Cure. Today 1 can conscientiously say that Dr. Mlles* Restorative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more for me than anything I had ever taken. I had been treated by eminent nhyslclans In New York and San Francisco without benefit. I owe my present good health to the judicious use of these most valuable remedies and heartily recommend them to all afflicted as I was.”—Capt. A. P. Loud. Hampden, Me.

RAIN AND WIND. Pennsylvania Valleys Snflering Great Damage From Flood. MANY TOWNS SUBMERGED. Danger of a Repetition of the Disaster of Fite Years Ago. IMMENSE LOSSES ON EVERY SIDE. People Compelled to Flee to the Highland! For Safety, While Homeii Are Filled With Water or Washed Away. Kailroad Bridge! and Track! Swept Away or Covered by Landslides—But Few fatalities Reported—Aftermath of the Lake Storm—Four of a Fishing Party Drowned — Two Boys Rescued From a Perilous Position—Heavy Snow In Kentucky. Williamsport, May 21.—1 t was late this morning before there had been any apparent cessation in the downpour of water. Shortly after midnight the Susquehanna river overflowed its banka in the central part of the city and in the business center cellars are full of water. Unless all signs fail the hight of the river will surpass all records and reach 27 feet. Liconiug creek, which comes in at the upper end of the city, is bank full, and the chief fear is that it will cause a repetition of the disaster of 1889. Great lumber booms, containing millions of feet of logs, havdi gone to pieces and add to the danger of bridges below. VALLEYS OVERFLOWED. Inestimable Damage Done In Pennsylvania Lowlands. Philadelphia, May 21.—The valleys of Pennsylvania are flooded as the result of almost continuous downpour of rain since Friday night, and yesterday was a day in which the state of mind of the thousands of residents bordered close on to panic. The horrors of the great flood of 1889, in which death and destruction spread throughout the west branch of the Susquehanna valley, as they were recalled turned a usually quiet Sunday into one of remarkable excitement in efforts to preserve property or valuables likely to be swept away by the flood, which came rushing down from every hillside and from every stream which in normal condition is as placid as an unruffled spring trickling from a mountain side. Rain continued to fall nearly all of last night at points along the Susque-, hanna, Keating, 20 miles above Renovo, reporting a cloudburst which raised the river 20 reet and sent it higher than in 1889, when ha,lf the town was under water. Above there, and extending to the headquarters at Clearfield, every town and hamlet was reduced to the conditions existing in the memorable flood, and at most points railroad traffic was suspended either by water or landslides which washed out or blockaded tracks. Moving to Places of Safety. At midnight last niapht rain was still falling in Williamsport, where the rivet was 23 feet above low water mark and still rising, and ail that portion of the city situated on low lands was under J water. People were making every effort j to reach places of safety, moving what- , ever w:ts possible along- with them. Greater .dangers were threatened, i Graffus run, a tributary which empties into the river below Williamsport, overflowed its banks and spread over a considerable portion of the city at about noon yesterday, flooding many houses and driving the occupants from their hoqies. All of the houses were occupied ! by poor people, and the rise was so sud- j den that the sufferers lost much of their ( personal property. At Johnstown, the point of such great disaster in 1889, the volume of water is i as great as then, but the widened river bed prevents heavy financial loss. Tom ' McFeaters, aged 13, w T as drowned while trying to ride on a log. Boats Ply the Streets. At Bradford, in the Tuna valley, 20 streets contiguous to the creek were in- | undated and hundreds of families were I in the swim. Below Foreman street, at the confluence of the branches of the I Tuna, the flood is a quarter of a mile wide and has ruined all the carpets in houses in the lower part of the Sixth ward. Some bridges are gone, but the railroads have thus far been able to hold theirs down with heavily loaded cars. Man/ families had to be rescued in boats, but no fatalities are reported. A 13 months old baby fell into the east branch yesterday afternoon and was being swept away in the current when Thomas Potter leaped into the creek and after a desperate struggle saved the child. Boats ply the principal streets and the railroads are suffering immensely. One Woman Drowned. Within the past 24 hours the Juniata river and the Raystown branch have risen 20 feet at Huntingdon, flooding the low lying farms and imprisoning entire families in their homes, who cannot be reached. Portstown, a suburb, was flooded to the second floors of the houses and Allegheny street in Huntingdon was submerged. The gas company’s works have been temporarily abandoned to the rising waters and many residences and business houses are flooded to the second floors. The country approaches to Huntingdon have been closed to travel Dy.tne uestruction of bridges and washouts. At Stoyertown, Bedford county, Mrs. Jacob Miller, while trying to save some personal belongings, was drowned. Whole farms on the Raystown branch have been practically rumed, buildings and fencing carried away and crops destroyed. Bridge! Washed Oat. The water has reached higher points in Blair county than during the flood of 1889 and the loss of property has been especially great at Frankstown, Gaysport, Williamsburg, Duncansville and

Resso’ti station. Several county and railroad bridges are down and traffic is suspended on the electric and steam railroad lines. The Pennsylvania Railroad company has chartered a line of hacks to convey passengers’to Williamsburg. Lake Montpark, the most extensive pleasure resort in this section, is under water. Hundreds of acres of farm laud are submerged and crops destroyed. The superintendent of the Lewisburg and Tyromy>ranch of the Pennsylvania railroad, rmining from Lewisburg to Bellefonte, reports heavy washouts at Miltmont and west of there to Rising I Springs. The water is two feet higher at Cobum than it was in 1889 and the people of the valley are fleeing to the hills and mountains for safety. Similar reports come from all the low lying country. DAM GIVES WAY. People, However, Have Ample Tima to Escape the Rushing Waters. Altoona, Pa., May 21.—The dam in the Horse Shoe curve, above this city, broke at 11:30 o’clock last night, 13 feet of it being carried away. The people living in the valley had ample time to get out of the way of the rashing waters. If the heavy rainfall continues the rest of the dam will probably be carried away. Altoona gets its water supply from this body. Flooded In York State. •»Bvfealo, May 21. — South Buffalo streets are booming rivers and the police have worked all day in rescuing people from second stories and the roofs or their houses. Portville and Olean report the country thereabout completely submerged. LAKE BTORM INCIDENTS. Fishing Party of Four Men Drowsed. Rescue of Two Boys. Chicago, May 21.—The friends and relatives of four young mechanics living at 126 Ambrose street, w r ho hired a rowboat last Thursday afternoon for a fishing expedition, and were last see rowing in an easterly direction on the lake, have had no tidings*"from them since. It is thought they were lost in the storm, as their boat was found yesterday floating bottom upward. The men were Siegfried Keins. Alfred Mora Braun and Max Her kt. Stephen Myers, aged 17, and Paul Schultz, aged 14, were rescued from the government pier yesterday afternoon after an exciting stay there. Last Monday they wore put on the pier by a fisherman iully equipped for a lengthy fishing expedition. Wednesday the provisions ran short and the fisherman came ashore for a new supply. From that time until yesterday afternoon the boys were prisoners, and since Friday they had been without food. Thursday when the storm began they tried to attract the attention of passing boats or people on shore, bnt without avail. They had no shelter from Friday’s storm but a slight shanty. Their 'provisions ran out Friday evening and by Saturday they apparently fell into a stupor, for boats passing that way saw nothing of them and they have no recollection of events. Yesterday afternoon the fisherman who put them on the pier notified the life-saving crew. A boat was immediately manned and with the assistance of a tug got the boys off. Aside from being famished they seemed to have suffered no ill-effects. It is learned that two other men who were fishing on the pier at the time of the great storm were undoubtedly lost. Another wreck' was reported yesterday about three miles out, but wheh life-savers went out neither vessel nor wreckage could be seen. More Dangers on Lake Michigan. Sheboygan. Wis., May 21.—Wind inf creased in velocity yesterday and the I heaviest sea ever known for this time of I year raged on . Lake Michigan. The body of an unknown sailor was washed i Ashore. The Chicago schooner Surprise lies in a dangerous position a mile and a i half from shore. Her crew can be seen running about on deck and working the pumps. May Day Snow In Kentucky.
