The water in huge vol- umes is spouting in the air and the supply seems imexhaustable. Two gigantic rivers have been tormed by this water burst which are the at the rate of twelve miles an hour and are carry- | Ing everything before them. Houses and lives are threatened by this pecuhar freak of nature and the citi- zens of the running through town town are appalled at their impending danger which at {present they are powerless to over- | come, finding it impossible to divert this damaging flood.

City engineer Arlingstall to whom it was _ reterred at once started out to find an engin- eer who would supply the demand and succeeded in inducing engineer Morgan to undertake the mission. Messrs. Arlingstall and Morgan are, however, both of the opinion that hut little can be done if anything to stop the flow of water, but it may be possible to direct the rivers into less dangerous directions and confine them to their present channels. Mr. Morgan left tor Belle Plains to-night the low lands in best engineers that and if more assistance is necessary Mr. Arhngstall will send all that 1s needed. This is regarded as one of the most phenomenal freaks of na- ture which has yet been known, and the threatened danger to the people and the property of Belle Plains de- mand instant and energetic efforts to stop the runinous deluge of water.
