Little Eagle creek at New Augusta, although reaching the highest point ever known and washing out a few culverts, no serious damage was done. A sawmill was flooded, but all the houses were at a safe distance. A bridge was damaged on the Zlonsvllle pike. Much damage was done to the farms around Acton, and several bridges In the near vicinity were wrecked. A bridge on the Shelbyvllle traction line was washed out. At Brookfleld, beyond Little Sugar creek, the abutments of a bridge were torn down and the superstructure was damaged. The grade near Buck creek on this line was destroyed. A bridge on the traction line at London, four miles south of Acton, was washed away. Traffic around Acton was impossible on account of broken-down fences which blocked the roads. Because of the destruction of culverts and bridges rural mail carriers out of Lawrence were unable to proceed in their work. The culverts over the branches of Fall creek were useless. Bell pike was damag d for some distance and the water swept along a bridge across Little Indian creek. A bridge was also swpt away between Lawrence and Millersviile. The ilnlon Traction Company transferred Its passengers yesterday morning on account of the destruction of fifty feet of Its track near Ouklandon. Workmen at the power house at Lawrence were kept busy in keeping the machinery running. During all of Friday night and yesterday Traders Toint was isolated from the surrounding territory. The little hamlet of a dozen houses was completely shut off from all outside communication. Chester Hay, keeper of the general store there, reported that his store was surrounded by three feet of water. Many bridges near West Newton on the Indianapolis pike. Including the one over Goose creek, were destroyed. STEEL ROW BO AT USED BY POLICE RESCUERS Force Works Courageously During the Night to Carry People to Safety.

VATEß UHDERM1HES PIERS AND AQUEDUCT COLLAPSES With a Crash Structure Is Destroyed and Canal Vents Water in Flood Area.

FAMILIES LEAVE HOMES Shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the strain of great volumes of driftwood and debris of all kinds against the piers supporting the aqueduct which carried the water of the canal across Fall creek became too great and the entire structure collapsed with a crash heard for many squares. The noise of the crash brought hundreds of people hurrying to the scene, it being reported that the railroad bridge had given way. The collapse of the aqueduct emptied the water of the canal into the flooded district and caused a sudden rise in the water in the bottom lands. Hundreds of persons were caught unawares by the rising tide and forced to vacate their homes in great excitement. The water rose in many Instances to the lower casing of the windows of the houses in thut vicinity with a rapidity that boded great danger. The additional supply of water caused the creek to overflow the land even as far as Brighton Beach, where it was several feet deep. The land on all sides of the canal levees was soon a sea of water and the many manufacturing plants and mills in that territory were rendered helpless, while hundreds of families were thrust out of their homes. The aqueduct was the property of the Indianapolis Water Company and its collapse will entail a loss of several thousand dollars to the company. The aqueduct carried the canal water across Fall creek to the northwestern part of the city and thence to the river. Within a few minutes after the break of the aqueduct the canal was emptied of most of its water and remained a long line of black, vile-smelling mud. The collapse was due directly to the middle pier, which had been undermined by the great currents of water, being carried away by a heavy log. Thus weakened the mass of driftwood backed against the other piers pushed the whole structure into the creek. It crashed with a noise like distant thunder. COLD WAVE PREDICTED BY. WEATHER BUREAU Floods Should Subside Generally Throughout the State, It Is Said. From special storm advices received by the Weather Bureau last night, a statement was given out that following the present storms sweeping the Central States, will come a cold wave, with clear weather. The forecast for Indianapolis and vicinity last night was: "Fair Sunday, with a minimum temperature of 22 degrees above zero." This forecast, according to officials at the Weather Bureau, justifies the statement that the floods should subside generally throughout the State. Although a few flakes of snow fell yesterday and last night, this should not Indicate a recurrence of the rain, according to the Weather Bureau. Yesterday's record of precipitation for Indianapolis is marked "trace," meaning that the rainfall was insignificant. BRAVE RESCUE OF SIXTY PERSONS A daring rescue was made yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Mary Mays, a Flower Mission nurse, with the help of her neice, Mrs. Claude Walker, and her daughter Lucile. In the water up to the hub, they bravely strove, and brought back William Lodback. colored, his wife and five children to terra firma. Lodback lives at 1500 Hiawatha street. With the assistance of Collins, a colored man. Mrs. Mays and her relatives rescued sixty persons. Four hundred persons were driven out of their homes in the neighborhood of Indiana avenue and Fall creek. Most of those sufferers from the flood were taken to the Flanner Guild. Pennsylvania Street Suffered. Residents living on Pennsylvania street within two and three squares of Fall creek did not escape the flood entirely. The Twen-ty-second-strect sewer was .inadequate to carry off the water and overflowed at Twenty-second and Pennsylvania streets for several squares, filling cellars and causing general inconvenience. For a distance of three squares south of Fall creek Pennsylvania street was flooded to a depth of several incnes.

HEROIC WORK OF RESCUERS IN THE EARLY MORNING Persons Living Along Fall Creek, Near Indiana Avenue, Taken Away in Boats. POLICE WORK ALL NIGHT

About twenty-five acres belonging to the city and lying just west of Fall creek near Indiana avenue and Tenth street, were covered by water early yesterday morning. Perhaps at this point occurred the most dramatic rescues of any that have taken place during the flood period. About 1 o'clock yenterday morning a colored woman by the name of Wilkerson and her three children walked into the police station and asked for shelter, saying their home was full of water and they had no place to go. Captain Hyland questioned her and found out that a number of families in- that district were calling for help. A small wagon was sent for and Captain Hyland, Sergeant Ilagerman and Bicyclemen Samuels and Morgan drove with all speed to the unfortunate district. On ar riving there it was seen that a boat would have to be used In order to rescue any one. The natrol waeon at nolicc headauarters was sent for to bring out the steel boat which had performed such good service the afternoon nrevious. As soon as the boat reached the district an attempt was made to use it, but the current proved too strong: and It was unmanageable. A rapid search was made In the surrounding neighborhood for a boat and a larce flatbottorned one was found. An old river man by the name of Hasselberg was found wno understood the currents better than the police officers. This boat was sent to the barn of the old pesthouse, where a fam ily ny mc name of Lotterback was imprisoned. There we're rive children and the mother and father in this small dwelling. ine rather was blind and crippled. The children were loaded Into the boat first and the trip to the shore was commenced. On account of the rapid current the boat naa to go about two squares down stream before a landing could be effected. . BOAT INJURED. About the middle of the stream a snag was struck which almost threw the occupants into the water. A larce hole was torn in the bottom of the boat and the water began seeping through faster than it could be baled out. All speed possible was made for ttte shore. The children, besides getting a little damp, were landed in safety. It was seen that the boat could not bo mpaired for further use and it was abandoned. Another boat was found near Eighteenth street and this was soon put into service. The first trln of this boat v!t made to rescue the father and mother of the children who had been taken out some moments before. When the bnnt i.-arh..i the house the second time the occupants were standing on top of a table to keep from fc-ettlng wet. At this time an appeal for aid could be heard coming from a house out near th west bank of Fall creek. The boat was sent out there t nd an old colored man namwi Larkins was found in the house. He thought that his last moment had come, for when the rescuers arrived he was on iop or me pea rervently prayiug. If all of uie Diedings come to the rescuers that this old man asked for them they will all iiumuiioiits ueiure jonp. ine next per.'V . . ruscueu was William Read, who, iiu ins nurse, was the proud possessor of a one-room shanty right in the center of the flood. It took some argument to bring him out without letting him take his horse In the boat with him. The horse was finally tied to the back of the boat and ""uc "mm io ine snore, it was getting daylight and the rescuers see to do their work better. now could THE LAST RESCUE. The last family to be rescued in this district was that of Richard Meadlow, composed of himself, wife and frur children. The house occupied by them was the hardest to reach. It took over an hour and a half to row against the strong current and get the people out. During the early hours of the morninr before daylight it was a dramatic scene to stand on the bank and watch the small boat battle with the angry waves and even now and then hear the faint crv of some flood-bound person for aid. While the rescuers were there the water rose over one foot, compelling the people whose homes were near Indiana avenue to flee from them. There is great distress among the people of this district as they had only time to get themselves out without attempting to take anyhlng else. In one house on Indiana avenue near the Fall crefk bridge seven families were trying- to keep warm over a small Are early yesterday morning. Many of the sufferers are small children with hardly enough clothes to cover their bodies. Sergeant Ilagerman was the nurse of the rescuing crowd, and It is said that at one time the big sergeant was walking down the levee with five children in his arms. AFTERMATH OF THE ROGUE'S RUN FLOOD Water Rapidly Recedes, Leaving Drift and Slime in Its Wake. Water which rose In East "Washington street to an alarming extent Friday afternoon and throughout the eastern part of the city as the result of the overflow of Pogue's run receded suddenly late Friday night and early Saturday morning, opening the roadway of Washington street again to traffic. The first car out Kast Washington street from the city was the owl car leaving Illinois at 1:55 o'clock. The car had no trouble whatever in getting through the flooded district, as the water covered the tracks but a few inches. By yesterday morning the roadway was dry of water, but covered with several Inches of sand and mud. The thousands of blocks which washed down from Southeastern avenue and Market street were cleared away early yesterday morning by the employes of the Indianapolis Streetcleaning Company. They were piled up along the roadway, and will be used again in the repair of the streets. Men were also put to work in cleaning Washington street of the black mud which had washed up with the water. By evening the task had been completed, and the traces of the flood were almost invisible. Throughout the Pogue's run district, however, there were evidences of the overflow of the day before. NEIV STATION OF THE GAS COMPANY FLOODED It Will Xot, . However, Cause a Gas Famine in the City. The new station of the Indianapolis Gas Company near Indiana avenue and White river was alo crippled yesterday by the flow of the water over the levee, which broke early in the afternoon. Water rushed into the plant and submerged the grate bars and extinguished the flres in the furnaces, compelling the company to shut down its engines. It was feared for a time that this accideut might cause a gas famine, but officers of the company said last night there was no danger from this source as the holders" of the new plant are full and that the other stations are adequate to supply all patrons should the new station become useless altogether. John It. Pearson said last night: "There is no danger of a shortage in gas on account of the flooding of our new station. We were forced to close down the engines, but the ho'.iers now contain about i.O.OJ feet of gas. and the stations at Pratt street and the Rig Four, at Pennsylvania stn-et and px Alvord street are in good condition and able u furnish more than a miliicn Xect of gaa."

FLOOD DISTRICT AS SED

FROM TOPOF MONUMENT Bird's-Evc View of an "Inland City" from the Highest Point in Indianapolis. WATER IS EVERYWHERE If any early spring birds, flying northward from their winter homes In the Southland, chanced to hover over Indianapolis yesterday they must have come to the conclusion that the title of "greatest inland city in the world" was a sad misnomer for the Hoosicr capital. j The thought struck several people that a bird's-eye panoramic view of the city from the top of the monument would be interesting and several sightseers made the trip in the elevator to the highest point In the tall stone shaft during the afternoon. It was a trip worth taking, for never before at least never in the memory of most of the residents of Indianapolis had such an unusual spectacle been presented in this immediate locality. During the afternoon a cloud of smoke overhung the town, obstructing the view to some extent. However, the stiff north wind blew the smoke away from the flooded districts of the northwestern portion of the city and spread out before the eye of the spectator was a great lake, which seemed to have its beginning Just above Riverside Tark and to extend far to the southwest. Indiana avenue had the appearance of a street leading from the heart of the city down to an important shipping dock, for there was an unusual amount of traltic on that thoroughfare caused, doubtless, by the sight-seers going to and from the flooded district while the buildings In the distance that were surrounded by water looked like house-boats and other water craft. From Cearalinetown, where the flood broadened into a lake of no mean proportions, south to the river bottoms at Indianola, there was an almost uninterrupted body of water that seemed, from the top of the monument, to be as wide as the Ohio river at Louisville. Directly west from the Statehouse were many little lakes, besides the main stream and in the southwestern part of the city, between the old circus grounds and Meridian street, there was a veritable muddy sea. DANGER FROM FLOOD WEST OF THE RIVER Great Interest Centered in the Vicinity of the WashingtonStreet Bridge. From the east bank of White river to Belmont avenue, and farther west along Michigan street, all territory north of West Washington street was yesterday under water and White river, whose currents and eddies swept the city from there north to Haughville, was twenty feet deep in places which under normal conditions would be but a few inches in depth. Although the destruction of the flood was more marked farther up the swollen stream, its effect was most seen at the West Washington-street bridge and in that icinity. The river was strewn with wreckage, consisting of everything from houses to wooden boxes. The carbarns of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company were undermined and fire engines and improvised steam pumps could hardly keep the water out of the furnaces. Residents along West Washington street were forced to move household goods to upper stories. The basement of the West Washingtonstreet pumping station was filled, the water here rising three inches an hour. Water supply to that part oi' the city was almost abandoned. South of Washington street in the flooded area water stood about one and one-half feet deep and would not have inundated the territory there save for the breaking of the UVest Michigan-street levee. Here the flood reached high tide and with a roar and crash, as fences and movable structures were torn awav, the water swept resistlessly toward Washington street. Part of the current re joined the course of the flooded stream and part filled cellars ana yarus. FIREMEN AT WORK. At the West Washington-street bridge a detail of firemen from No. 5 engine house. with pikes and gaffs, kept the channel clear of wreckage. Due to their work the chan nel was prevented from choking: and the course of White river kept clear. Police men were stationed on the bridge to warn pedestrians of the danger. At the power house of the traction com pany a gang of negroes worked unremit tingly with sand bags, walling up windows of the power house basement, which was even then filling from underground cur rents. Firemen from the Haughville No. 9 en gine house, with one fire engine and two steam pumps, worked with traction company employes to keep the water below the level of the boilers. Should they have failed the entire street car system would have been paralyzed. It is believed that the only salvation of that part of the .city from complete inundation was the break in the Wast Washing-ton-street temporary bridge, which was made during the January fiood. Where the supports of the bridge were riot torn away the rubbish and floating timbers lodged, making an almost impregnable dam half across the channel. The space between was a maelstrom of wreckage. A large houseboat from Haugh ville, fortunately deserted by its occupants. crasheel into the tnige ana in a lew sec onds was ripped to pieces. Fragments of the boat, with household goods, were scattered down the stream. In the extreme western part of the city conditions were somehat improved yesterday afternoon, liig and Little Kagle creeks, which had been on a rampage through the night, had fallen. IHg Four wrecking crews worked with carloads of sandbags to dam up the creek. This was accomplished and false work built under the tracks, which had been almost washed away. Tralfic to Chicago was resumed over this route yesterday evening. WEST END SITUATION WORSE IN EVENING Foreman of Street-Car Barns Had to Send Out a Call for Help. Conditions In the Wtst End gre.w worse later last, night, when the White River burst all bounds, and, rising four Inches an hour, inundated dwellings in low ground and flooded the West Washington-street barns of the Traction and Terminal Company. When the cinder beds which act as a levee were seen to be washing away a hurry call for help was sent out by the barn foreman, and every car in the barns, including the summer cars. Was taken out and lined up several blocks farther west. The liismarek-a venue line was abandoned, and West Washington-street and West Michigan-street cars ran only as far as West street. In Haughville. where the fiood situation would admit, cars were run at irregular intervals. Uetween the West F.nd and Haughville car service could not be maintained. INTERURBAN LINES SPARED MUCH TROUBLE Interurban linos, alive to flood danger, had forces of men in the water-swept district yesterday, preventing damage to property. A bridge on the Indianapolis &' Cincinnati Railway between Acton and London was damaged, and transfers were made at that point. The Indiana Fnion Traction Company transferred passengers at Anderson, but from this city travel was uninterrupted. The Northwo tern line had difficulty on the outskirts of the city, but, barring this, preserved a delayed schedule. Cars on the Indianapolis Martinsville line were unable to make the trip, owing to high watvrji.

CAPITOLBRIOGE USELESS Supports Swept Away and Other Structures Are Damaged by Torrents. STEEL" BRIDGE INTACT One more bridge Is added to the list of the "wholly disabled" by the Fall creek flood, that crossing the creek at Capitol avenue. The rush of water carried away the east part of the middle pier of that structure yesterday, causing the cast side of the bridge to settle about two feet. Tarts of the ironwork in the upper structure became ' loosened by the damaged condition and fell to the floor of the, bridge. .The abutments of the bridge remained intact. As the water was so near the floor of the structure, little definite knowledge of the extent of the damage could be gained. For a long time spectators looked for the entire-structure to go. The Northwestern-avenue bridge over Fall creek, twice damaged by floods and ice and twice repaired for use by the city and Indianapolis & Northwestern electric lines, was so badly damaged yesterday that It looked to be almost impossible of repair. All the underpinning placed for the sup port of the structure, so that it would allow for the passage of heavy cars, was again swept away. In addition a part of the central pier, which had up to that time been uninjured, was loosened, and the structure sagged perceptibly in several places. Pedestrians were not allowed on it. This bridge is to be replaced by a new one this summer, but the inconvenience to the street car and interurban companies must be great in the meantime. One other Fall creek bridge, at Thirtyeighth street, was demolished bv the tor rent, but the new concrete and stone bridges at Central avenue, Meridian street and Illinois street stood the impact of the flood without being damaged in the least. The steel bridge across the stream at Indiana avenue also stood Intact. Uy the washing away of several rows of piling near the west end of the "wooden bridge across White river at Washington street, that structure was rendered to all appearances unfit for further repair. It has been twice damaged by this winter's floods and ice, and once repaired, while repairs had just begun the second time when the present high water stopped the work. The already damaged Michigan-street, Morris-street and River-avenue river bridges were not further damaged yesterday. Patrolmen were stationed at all of the bridges to watch the situation closely. Rumors of the total demolition of several of the bridges were rile, but these proved to be without foundation. MAIL SERVICE IS BADLY DEMORALIZED Train Schedules So ' Completely Knocked Out that Mail Cannot Be Properly Handled.' The mail service is completely demoralized, the entire force of clerks is worked to tleath and impatient persons must not grumble because their letters are not delivered just on the nick of time. In fact, on account of the disastrous damage wrought by the flood, it will be several days before trains are running on schedule time. No trains will be run to-day between Indianapolis and Vlncennes. lloth the mail trains of this route are stalled at either end. Trains between Muncie and Anderson Mere eight hours late. Train 43, to Greencastle, went over the Vandalia line. The Louisville division could not reach Columbus, but had to go via Cambridge City on the Pittsburg division. Men were sent out to Roachdale to get the mail from No. 4, which was stuck there. The only lines not bothered by the flood were the C, I. & W. lines and the Pennsylvania lines between here and St. Louis. HIGH WATER PREVENTS SEVERAL FUNERALS Xot Until Fall Creek Materially Recedes Can Dead Be Buried in Crown Hill. One deplorable and pathetic result of the Fall creek flood Is the inability of .any funeral processions from the territory south of the stream to reach Crown Hill for the burial "of the dead. All of the streets leading across the creek to the cemetery are flooded so a"s to be impassable, and several funeral processions had to be turned back yesterday, the bodies being returned to the undertaking establishments until the flood should subside. It was announced yesterday evening that if the water had receded this morning to such an extent that it would be possible for vehicles to reach Crown Hill, burial would be possible by special permission of the Crown Hill authorities. STRICKEN FAMILY TAKEN TO SAFETY House Containing' Typhoid Patients and Children Surrounded bv Water. The City Dispensary ambulance, In charge of Dr. Carlisle, was called to 122$ West Market street yesterday afternoon to remove Melville Gentry and his mother, Mrs. Minnie Gentry, from their home. They were both suffering from typhoid fever and the water had surrounded their home. Dr. Carlisle and the ambulance driver, Harry McDonald, were compelled to wade In water watet deep to get to the house. Three small children were also taken out. The patients were removed to St. 'Vincent's Hosp'tal. MAYOR IS ANXIOUS ABOUT THE FLOOD A telegram to Superintendent of Police Kruger from City Engineer Jeup, in St. Louis, last night, contained the request that the superintendent wire Mayor Holtzman exact conditions in this city at that time. To give attention to this request" the superintendent came down town again alter going home to rest from a hard day's work. Indianapolis is without both mayor and engineer in the present situation which concerns both their cflici-il positions to such a degnc. Tin y, with members of the Hoard of Public Works, are in St. Louis for the inspection of a new paving block. Mayor lloltzman left the city Friday evening, when the danger in the flood situation seemed about passed. TWO LADS RESCUED IN NICK OF TIME Marooned on a t-mall strip of sanl and menacod by the rising- waters of Kail creek, rert Hathaway and Ralph "Scearce. lads thirteen years old, wef saved by firemen yesterday afternoon from what seemed certain death from drowning:. They had ventured out on a strip of nam and the waters had washed out their avenuo of escape.
