A building at the northeast corner of

Highland avenue and Michigan street is

slowly sinking from the effects of last week's flood. The building is a compara

tively new two-story brick structure and is

occupied by Frank Moeslin's saloon. At the

time of the flood the first floor was under two feet of water. At. present there is four feet of water in the cellar. Yesterday brick

began to fall off of the cornice, making it

dangerous to pedestrians. The police were notified and Captain Boylan and Bicyclemen

Samuels and Morgan went to the place with ropes and lanterns.

The walls are bulped from their natural

position. Jacob C. Yuncker. who owns the

building. Is. now in Florida. Building Inspector Stanley Monday, ordered tenants to

move out.

THOUSANDS SPENT

FOR IMPROVEMENTS

Railroads, Steam and Electric, Are Heavy Losers Roadbeds Destroyed.

With the memory of last Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's floods vividly in mind and with the havoc of those floods still to

be seen on every hand, citizens were

alarmed for several hours yesterday after

noon at the prospect of a repetition of the destructive work of the waters. The pourlng rain that lasted for the greater part of the morning and well into the afternoon gave promise' of another siege of high water. White river remained at about five feet

above low water mark up to late yesterday

afternoon, the point to which it fell Tuesday. Yesterday's rain made no appreciable change in Its volume. Two districts that are suffering especially from this source are that section of the city lying east of White river and between Fall creek on the north and Michigan street on the south, and a large territory on the West Side, south of Washington street, and stretching west and east of Harding street. Residents of both districts appealed to the city engineer's and the street commissioner's departments for relief, but little could be done for them, as there is imperfect drainage at both points. In the district in the vicinity of the river, the creek and Michigan street, the sewers were running full, but in spite of that fact the rain caused the water standing on the surface to rise perceptibly. The continued presence of this water is causing endless inconvenience and some little suffering. Threats were made to tap the large intersecting sewer to gain relief, but they

were not carried out. A gang from the street commissioner's office gave the district some help yesterday afternoon. MAYOR SIGNS ORDINANCE. The territory on the West Side is in a bad situation, as the nearest sewer to it is on West Washington street, and there seems to be no way in which drainage can be brought about The continuance of rainy weather will make the situation even worse, bringing the threat of contagion from the muddy, stagnant water. Both the engineer's and the street commissioner's departments are making haste to repair the damage done by the flood, undertaking different tasks as they seem most important. Funds are now available, as the mayor yesterday signed the ordinance passed by the Council in special session on Tuesday evening, making a special appropriation of $25,000 for flood repairs. Some of the first things to be done will be to repair the Raymond-street break In the levee and the culvert on Southeastern avenue east of State street. Pogue's run will be cleaned out thoroughly by the street commissioner's department, so that there will be less danger of its overflowing in the event of another heavy rain. Street Commissioner Herplck expresses himself as opposed to the project of running an immense sewer along the course of the run, as it would be impracticable, lie suggests, instead, that the run be widened to a uniform width of about forty feet, and that substantial high walls be built on both sides and that the bottom be concreted, if necessary, to make it of sufficient depth and reliably secure from overflow. Mr. Herpick has been instructed to collect all the building blocks which he can And In private hands, and to return them to the contractors that the city insists must repair the damaged streets. A great many of these blocks were taken in by persons who intend using them for fuel, ana these will be forced to give up the blocks, even if it is necessary to seek the aid of the police. WATER CONDITION IMPROVED. Although the city's water supply is not back to its normal state, the condition of the water is greatly improved, and the water company promises that but a few days more will bo necessary to rid the mains of the muddy river water. Railroads and traction lines are -getting back into their usual order, although several of them are still experiencing difficulty In getting cars through to their destinations. The Indianapolis & Northwestern traction line expects to be running through some time to-day, the Shelbyville line is

still compelled to transfer passengers at

Sugar Creek and the Martinsville line was not able to get to Murtinsville yesterday, but expects to do so to-day. Traffic over the I. & V. Railway was re

sumed yesterday, but it is expected that

the recent rainfall will seriously hinder the

work of repair and delay the completion of a larpe portion of the work until next

week. Many points In southern Indiana are still inaccessible. Officials of the Indiana Union Traction Company have announced that their losses caused by the flood will amount to almost $200.000, including loss of business and destruction of property. Among its losses was the demolition of a steel bridge at Peru and the destruction of considerable right of way by the overflow of the Wabash.

Official Notes that Damaged Bridges Were Already Destined for Destruction.

"It seemed that providence joined hands with the county commissioners in the re

cent flood," said John McGregor, president

of the Board of County Commissioners,

"for most of the damage done to the cul

verts and bridges throughout the county

was to those structures on which we al ready contemplated repair."

About $33.0uo or $Ktrt had already been

appropriated by the County Council for the repair of bridges. Of the culverts that

were washed out twenty-five were among

those that had already been condemned.

AFFAIR ENDS HAPPILY

A marriage license, made void because

of the recent high floods, was returned to County Clerk William E. Davis yesterday

by Charles L. Anderson. Tho candidate

for matrimony had secured his license last Saturday and went to Noblesville, where

he was to meet his bride and return with

her to Indianapolis, where the wedding was

to occur.

The trip to Noblesville was made without ncldent. and the. bridal couple met with

no misfortune. But when it came time to start on the return trip they were held prisoners by the Hood. Fate had separated

them from the seat of their marriage and

the county from which the license was

ssued. But instead of waiting for the

floods to subside, time was taken by the forelock and a license procured from the

clerk of Hamilton county, and' the cere

mony was performed on the other side of the floods.
