In this city families living in low places were required to move out. George Utzberger and William In-gthe, gram of Antietam, Md., were maroon- ed in the high water of the Opequon hear here, and were rescued. The six members of the Willlam Miller family, Wwho were swept to death in a moun- tain Sstream, were buried in the mountain cemetery near their home this afternoon DAMAGE NEAR HAGERSTOWN. Crops Suffer and Williamsport Power Plant Endangered. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md., May 12.—Ris- ing thirteen inches an hour. the Po- tomac River passed flood stage here last night, with considerable damage to_crops in this section. The power plant at Willlamsport, six miles from here, was in danger of inundation this morning. More than four feet of rain has fallen in the last four days, which is a record. CROPS AND GARDENS HIT. Shenandoah Valley Water Report- ed Highest in 25 Years. HARRISONBURG, Va, May 12.—As the Shenandoah Valley countryside began emerging from its biggest flood in twenty-five years this morn- ing the small streams continued to empty their flood waters into the Shenandoah River, which already was raging. The river had risen more than ten feet. Had the water in the boiler room of the steam plant on the Shenan- doah River raised one inch more than it did raise, the fires would have been flooded and the plant closed. Greatest damage, it I8 believed, will be to crops and gardens, although there will be considerable property loss in Harrisonburg, the basements of a dozen business houses and more than 100 residences being flooded. Familios along Black’s Run, through the city, moved their property last night, but the water began falling before midnight. With water from six inches to six feet deep across the roadway, automobile traffic on the valley pike north and south was halted. Many automobiles are stranded on the pike between here and Win- chester, to the north, and Waypes- boro, to the south? Tohrists abandoned their cars and spent the night at the first house they st k. One stretch of pike a half mild long was sub- merged. SECOND PITTSBURGH FLOOD. PITTSBURGH. May 12.—Pitts- burgh will be visited tomorrow rning by its second flood within Ao weeks, United States weather bureau observers reported today. The stage at the point, where the Mon- ongahela and Alleghény rivers meet to form the Ohio, will be more than twenty-two feet in the morning, the observers said. A twenty-two-fobt stage will flood parts of the North Side and basements In the ~river front district downtown. WARNING IN VIRGINIA. Special Dispatch to The Star.
