SUSQUEHANNA RISE HOLDS UP TRAINS Tracks of Pennsylvania and { Third of Port Deposit, Md., B Under Water and !ce. By the Associated Press, PORT DEPOSIT, Md., February 13. ~—More than one-third of Fort Deposit was under water last night, and with the rise continuing, and more ice toming down the Susquehanna River, the prospects are that the water will attain today a height approach- | Ing that of the great flood of 1910. The ice jam began without warning | yesterday morning. Huge blocks of ice voured over the dam of the Pennsyl- vania Water and Power Co. at Holt- wood, Pa., 22 miles north of Port De- vosit. This ice reached Port Deposit this afternoon and has increased steadily in volume, forcing the water over the river banks. This evening the tracks of the Pennsylvanla Railroad for a few miles through Port Deposit were under water and train service ceased. A freight train of more than 100 tars was caught in the water and Ice and {s standing in water| that is from one to six feet in depth. The Pennsylvania Railroad statlon | and the Tome Institute station are | both flooded. WILLS CREEK RECEDING. Special Dispateh to The Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., February Wills Creek here rose two feet and a half yesterday and the Potomac River ‘gained about one foot on ac- count of the rains. The water of Wills Creek along Mechanic street reached 13 Inches from the top of the stone wall, but would have had to rise two feet more before it would have come up on the lowest point of that street. The streams were re- ceding this morning. In the Georges Creek section, par- ticularly at Piedmont, the rise was two and a half feet in the river and the creek. At Falling Waters, near Martins- burg, W. Va.,, the Potomac wes up 12 feet. Koontz Creek, Lonaconing, rose several feet and damaged structural work on a new bridge. Temperature dropped Wednesday night un average of 35 degrees. TRegistrations were 22 degrees in this city, from 10 to 16 above in the moun- tains west of here and from 24 to 36 between Hancock and Martinsburg. POTOMAC UP 12 FEET. River Continues Slowly Rising, Re- ports From Williamsport. Special Diapatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, February 13.—The Potomac River was 12 feet above nor- mal tonight and was still slowly ris- ing, according to reports from Wil- liamsport. 1t left its bauks early this morning when a rush of ice sent it up five feet within a few hours. The cold spell, however, was expected to stop the rise and prevent a flood. All lasses Fitted MoCormick Medical G College Lyes Examined Dr. CLAUDE S.

The river spread over the east bank at Willlamsport to the Potomac Edi- son Co. power plant and boats were used between the plant and the screen house at the dam. The ice was pass- ing off without gorging. The towpath of the Chesapcake and Ohio Canal was being badly washed by the waters of the river and it was feared much damage would be caused to this waterway. e o Puatting water into buttermilk as well as sweet milk has brought many fines upon milkmen of Ireland re- cently.
