FLOOD AND STORM ARE THREATENING ALL FRANCE.

Snow Storm and High Water Do Damage In Paris and Epidemic of Scarlet Fever is Threatened. Paris, France, has already suffered a loss estimated at $200,000,000, as the result of the swollen waters of the Seine river, which has inundated a third of the city, resulted in many deaths and great exposure to thousands of people. As a result scarlet fever has broken out and threatens to cause an epidemic. Half of Paris is in darkness. A blinding snow storm that added to the terror has subsided but the waters of the overflown Seine continue to rise.
