THE FRESHETS. Additional Particulars of Disasters by the Great Storm. IMMENSE BESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY, Am. we aaageet™ Hight Lives of Troy, N. Y. Lost in the Vicinity THE FRESWET IN NEW YORK. Atong the Hudson River, PoUGUKERPSIE, Oct. 6, 162, Information relative to the fieshet along the Hua- won is being received hourly and the catire loss must be immense. It is estimated that the loss im four counties on the Hudson cannot be less than $3,000,000, Ulster county has rutered severely. The Delaware and Hudson Canal is greatly dam- aged, embankments being torn away, the canal water ming!ing with the water in the crocks. Early this morning the body of a man was found floating at the mouth of Roudout creek, and during last Wight and the early part of to-day thou- sands of staves have foated down the creek into the Hudson from the Rosendale Cement Company's Works, Mingling with them were thou- sunds of pumpkins and apples, sticks of timber, &c. ‘Tbe country in the interior -of Ulster county along the line of the creeks 18 terribly devastated. Insome parts whole ficlds are deluged, barns are swept away and roads destroyed. At Now Salem the vile lagers go from house to house in boats. The Rondout and Oswego Railroad ts very sert- ously injured, more so than was at first supposed, Reliable men say it will take months to place it back inthe same condition tt was on Saturday last, None of the vessels in Rondout creek were damaged to ny serious extent, though many coilisions occurred, Further up the river, at Saugerties, (he damage near the river has not been great, but Saugerties creek 18 greatly swollen, anda bar has been formed in it which will for awhile prevent the passage of steamers over it. Mere, too, applies, pumpkins and cabbages come whirling down the creek and float away into the Hudson. still further up and at Cats- kill creek are more pumpkins and cabbages, cucumbers and apples from the interior. Sloop men and men in small boats, fagmen and canal boatmen are scouring the river in all soris of craft picking them up and heaps of pumpkins can be geen in spots on shore for a distance of thirty miles. This morning between Germantown and Oakhill, only six mntles apart, ten dead horses were found. ‘The greatest anxiety is felt in relation to the effects of tho stormin the interior of Ulster aud Greene counties. All the bridges along the streams in both counties are certainly destroyed, and hundreds of farms have without doubt suffered severely, Already cool, calculating men estimate the loss along the Hudson at $1,009,000, From the upper end of Dutchess county more reports are received of bridges gone. The town of Tivoli, like Rhinebeck, is almost isolated and the inhabitants are compelled to walk through dense woods to reach the railway station. Affairs on the Mudson River Railroad between New York and Hudson are looking better, The last obstruction to travel between those two places has been removed by the repairing of the bridge at Livingston's station, and the express train, which left New York this morning at eight o'clock, reached Tivollon time. There the passengers, baggage and mails were transferred to the steamer Chauncey vibbard, and the train moved on alowly, reaching Nudson in safety at ven minutes to two o’cloc P. M. Travelon the Newburg and New York short cut railroad is suspended. The road 1s badly washed, but gangs of men are at work repairing It. The disasters in Columbla county were more extended and serious in the vicinity of Hudson than were at first supposed. Tho total loss of pro- perty in the county is roughly estimated at $500,000, which is probably less than the real figures will show. The town of Claverack suffers the most, Among the heaviest losers are Jacob C. Esselstyn, woollen mill; Henry J. Rowe, grist mill; George W. Philip, hosiery mill; N. P. Aiken, Knitting mill; Har- per W. Rogers, paper mill; D. M. Fitz and W. Harder, cotton mills. The loss in the town will exceed $50,000. Jeremiah Curpenter’s cotton mill, in Valatie, was damaged to the amount of $12,000, Alexander Abbott & Co.’s paper mil), in the same place, suffered to the extent or $4,002. In Stockport H. 8S. Van Delon Joges $8,000, the Messrs, Stalrs $10,000 and others Jess amounts. A large number of cattle and horses ‘were swept away and drowned. H. J. Brownell, of Ciaverack, lost nine head of valuable cattle; J. Cooper, @ valuable horse, and others more or lees stock. William H. Fleming lost 1,000 bushels of potatoes, which were washed from the ground. Two men, named Frank Wadsworth and James head, ‘were drowned in Claverack creek. The devastation of fruit trees 1s extensive and beyond computation. At Columbiaville, in the town of Stockport, James Hood and Francis Wadsworth were carried over the dam at Wild's milland crowned, yesterday after- noon, while endeavoring to save property. Com- munication by the regular turnpikes is completely cut off, In some places ravines twenty feet wide andten feet deep have been cut by the rushing food. Sinking of a Schooner. The schooner B. N. Fox, a vessel of 100 tons, left Haverstraw for this city Sunday noon, under com- mand of ner owner, Captain Cooper, laden with a cargo of brick, She ran until about eigut o'clock and dropped anchor between Piermont and Nyack, when her crew, consisting of three persons, retired to thelr berths for the niglit. About three o'clock in the morning the wind shifted to the southeast, and by daylight “a heavy sea’? was roiling. The vesset was laboring 80 heavily at that time, that the men were awakened and rushed on deck just as they leit their berths, The waves breaking over her bow were 30 great as to make it impossible to get up her anchor; and even if the cap- stan had been accessible there would have been no time to have worked it, for the men were scarcely on deck when tie vessei went down. All were carried down with her, but as she sunk 1m fifteen feet of water and remained upright thoy climbed up the rigging aud lashed themselves to the spars, where they remained with the wavea breaking over them tli! half-past nine, At that time the Ruth Hawley, a New London vessel, after two unsuccess- ful attempts succeeded in taking the men off, The Fox soon after went to pieces, and indeed before the rescue her stern bad been washed away. Captain Cooper said that the schooner Hveline, also loaded with brick, foundered in the same storm of Ver- Diank's Point. The Reports from Albany. ALBANY, Oct. 5, 1969, The Central Raliroad ts all right this morning. A train arrived at six o'clock A. M., almost on time. There is no water on the track anywhere, and what damage was done has been repaired. No tratos are going ont on the Hudson River or Hariem road, The water in this city is still over the docks and in tho streets parailel with the river. South Broadway fs navigated by small boats. Nearly all the bi Ments and cellars east of Greeue street are flooded. Reports from Troy=Five Persons Drowned A Train of Cars Thrown Into the Hoosick Rivor=Three Lives Lost. Troy, Oct. 4, 186% The freshet at this place caused by the recent rein storm 18 unprecedented. Cellars are flooded and much property is destroyed, ‘two men, named respectively James Donnelley and Michael Riley, and a boy named Flynn, were drowned in the river this afternoon. Donnelley had crossed the river from bis house in West Troy, and was nearing the dock ‘when his strength fated, Into peroat and hastened to his assistance.

SARATOGA, Oct, 5, 1860, Accounts from the sarrdunding country gay that the storm of Sunday night and Monday morning did more damage than any before known. reely @ bridge on the county roads about here has been left in good condition. Bridges that have been suf- ficient for all floods heretofore couid not withstand that of Monday morning. Oniy one train arrived here from the South yesterday, and the apssengers on that one had to change cars four miles south of Ballston, on the Schenectaay road. Culverts carried away between Batision and Mechanicsville pre- vented the trains from getting near enough to change passengers on that rout, Great damage was done in Baliston Spa and one boy was crowned, Ynere is @ canal break at Wilbur's Basin, A mull- dam gave way and carried off D. Smith's grist, saw and plaster mills and about seventy feet of the canal bank, with ten feet of the canal bed. It will take about ten days, or more, to repair the break. Injury to the Raitronds in the Northern Part of the State. WUITRHALL, Oct, 5, 1960, The Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad and the lake steamers are all in running order. The Eastern roads are all badly injured. The Bennington and Chatham and Plattsburg and Montreal road are all right and the trains run on time, From the present prospect it will take a week to repair the roads from Burlington east to Boston. Tne water is falling In me Cuamplain Canal and the canal will be repaired some time next week. The damage has not been great here, Several large rafts of timber and a few canal boats have been carried down the lake, The weather to-night is qoite cold. e \EOTIUT. HARTFORD, Oct. 5, 1869, Reports of damage by the storm contiaue to come in, The damage in all parts of the State is very great, The town of Manchester bas suffered more than any other piace in this vicinity. Not a bridge is teft in the town and not a water wheel is running there to-day. The loss to mills, dams and property 1s estimated at $300,000, The loss to roads and THE DARA bridges is $20,000. Cheney & Brothers’ loss is $100,000, in which is imeluded 100 pieces of silk, worth from $18,000 to $20,000, At Broad Brook the old factory building, occupicd asa tin shop below and a tenement house above, was ewept away, anda young man, ajwoman and five children were drowned, Aman was also drowned in Higganum. The Hartford, Providence and Fish- Kill Ratiroad is open to-day to Waterbury, but the breaks between here to Willimantic have not beea re- paired. The New London Northern road is open from New London to Willimantic above the latter place. Itis impossible to run trains regularly on the Hartford and New. Haven road. The most lamentable consequence of the flood in the vicinity of New Haven is the giving way of the great dam over the Housatonic river at Birming- ham. ‘Two weeks’ work would have completed the structure, Three handred feet have been destroyed and more than half of the labor of two years has been swept away in asingle night. Aman named McDonald was drowned by the upsetting of his boat at the same place. THE FRESHET IN PONSSYLVINIA. The Damage in Philndelphia=The Schuylkill Receding. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5, 1869. ‘The water at the Fairmount dam has receded nearly six fect since yesterday, Streets which were flooded are now nearly dry, but covered with mud and débris left by the water. Hundreds of cellars aro now filled, and at the large establishments steam fire engines are engaged in pumping out the water. The turbine wheels at Fairmount will pro- bably resume work this evening. Owing to damage at the Market strect Gas Works there was a scanty supply of gas last evening, but the difficulty was remedied to-night by the Point Breeze Works, * Along the Delaware river front in the city many of the wharves wero submerged during the high water; but, owing to the precautions previously taken, the damage was not serious, except in por- Uons where the ground is low. In the Schuylkill river the water is receding and no further damage is anticipated. The trestle work leading to the bridge across the Schuylkill below South street was carried away. It belonged to the Pennsylvania Ratiroad Company, and connected the main track with the freignt depot on the Delaware river at Washington street, The damage will not cause any detention to freight destined for the West, as the bridge of the Baltimore road at Gray’s ferry can be used. The bridge itself ts uninjured. The officers of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Ratiroad say that from reports just recetved from parties on the road the track is but little damaged; and asthe water is falling quite fast, they think they can run cars over the road by about nightfall. Reports from the [nterfor of Pennsylvania, BErALEneEM, Oct, 5, 1969. At two o'clock yesterday aiternoon the water attained its highest point, twenty feet above low water mark and within fifteen inches of high water mark in 1862, That portion of Bethlehem between Lehigh river and Monocacy creek is under water.

MILWAUKEE, Oct, 5, 1869, A serious disaster occurred at St. Anthony's Falis, Minnesota, this morning, from high water, A tun- nel im course of construction under the bed of the river from Nicolict Isiand, on» the east bank of the river, caved in, leaving the water @ fall course through the excavation. The Summit mill, with a capacity of 200 barrels of flour per day, was washed away. Other mills and factories are in danger and exertions are being made to stay the progress of the flood. The damage, which 1s heavy, is not yet ascertained, THE FLOOD IN THE MISS.S3IPPI. The Government Coffer Dam at Moline Broken Away—The Water Power Territory Fiooded— About $50,000 Worth of Damages—Hun- dreds of Men Out of Employment. {From the Davenport (lowa) Gazette, Oct. 1. The great mse in the Mississippi—the greatest ever Known at this time of the year—has at lasi been characterized by disaster at this point; disas- ler which monchs cannot bepair, which is at least $50,000 damage to the government, and which throws hundreds of men out of employment, when employment is a desideratum because of the near approach of winter. The Moline water power is the scene of disaster. To-day the whole extent of its territory is one rusning flood. Most of our city readers understand the situa- tion of afiaira at the water power work previous to the flood. A coffer dam had been thrown across the uth channel,” as it is called on government maps, from near the south side of the head of the island to a point a few rods above the Moline woollen mill, About seven-eightis of a mile below this was another dam, at which was placed au engine and pump, which, in the course of afew weeks, lifted the water from the space between the dams, where it had flowed for antold ages, and left the entire bed of the river there as dry as an emptied puddie, Then work progressed on the great stone dam, a littie to the south side of this enclosed space and designed to run the entire length of it. A number of huge derricks and booms were erected. ‘Three hun laborers and over filty teams, with scores of stone masons and stone cutters, were engaged in pushing forward this great gov- ernment work. Besides, the Moline Water Power Company had erected a heavy wooden bulkhead, just above the lower coffer dam, with the tnten tion of having it answer its purpose until the government should erect @ more enduring ight or ten yeara hence. In this water cleared territory @ great amount of labor in clearing away the top soil and other necessary work in levelling the bottom, 80 as to allow a steady and sure flow of water for power in low water seasons, had been done. Everything looked like progres in the great work, and it was thought the ist of in ver would see the main wall of the dam, from tne to the upper coifer dam, about com- ipper coffer dam was originally built with reference to the depth of four or five feet of water, which prevatls in moderate seasons at the place of ita site, But the strange ireaks of swelling which the Mississippi has indulged in at most unseasonabie times since spring compelled the elevating and strengthening of the dam till it was ten or iwelve feet high from the river bed. ‘the remarkabie ri during the last eight days caused General Rodman to take extraordinary precautionary measures with thedam, Since Saturday last re: of men have worked night and day in strengthening the dam in its resistance to the mighty pressure which was threatening it, On Wednesday the er TORO bing rapidly, and the force of laborers was doubled, and a@ strict watch was kept on Wednesday night; but at Dail-past eleven in the night a small ieak was discovered near the top of the cam, about seventy- five feet from the Iimois shore, Immediate eloris were made by the night gang to stop it; but the water Was resisticss. In a few mimates the dam eS way near the ehore and the water rashed rough with tremendous power, carrying away More dam, an’, like a swollen torrent, sweeping everything before it. { noise was a very pecullar one. At first it waa like the blowing of steam from the boilers of a steamboat; then there was a roar jike tiat of & young Niagara, which gradually toned down to the id of Niagara's Tapids.

It will be remembered that about noon on the éth of September Jast Mr. James J. Brooks, a special United States revenue ofticer, was in the liquor store corner of Front and Arch strects, Philadelphia, when a party of men entered and fired t n him, the ball passing through one of his lungs, and, as Was supposed, inflicting a mortal wound. A re- ward of $5,000 for the apprehension of the would- be murderers, by District Attorney Valentine, and of $1,090 by Mayor Fox were oifered. Notice of the lauler was generally circulated among the police officers of the United States, with Cescriptions of the assassins, but for a long time without any effec Indeed, it was not uniil Friday last that any clue was optained to the villains, and it was then dis- covered by accident. On that day a person called on Detective Scott, of the Twenty-sixth precinct, and stated that there were four men at the Ocean House, Coney Island, where they had been for some time acting s0 s i- ciously that they had attracted attention, aud it desired that they should be put under poiice sar- velllance. Detective Scott took the inlormation to Inspector Walling, and that officer immediately sent a person down to take a particuiar description of the suspected persons, Upon his return it was found thay the Ocean House meu were not New York “crossmen,” but, upon compar- ing the descriptions witu those of the assassins which had been received by Superintendent Ken- nedy, the identity Was plain. A watch was instantly set upon the men, and it was determined to arrest them at Coney Isiand, but Satar morning they began leaving for this city, ove coming up on one boat, two others on another, the fourth on another. The last was followed and traced to the company of lis fellows in a house in the Fitteenth ward. Inspector Walling placed a wateh upon this house. It was desired to take all the men, and in orier to Tun no risk in this respect the house was no: eniered but was patiently wateied wath they sould come out together, This did not happen until y ing about aix o'clock, When tuey emerged for a stroll in the pelting rain, aud at the corner of Walling and officers Scott, Wilkinson and 3 of the ‘Tweuty-sixth precinct. They were take a station house, Where they were searo their names as Raward McLaugiiio, dames Dougherty and Peter Donohue, i ties.” They are ail young men of sinister uppear- ance and shabbily dressed. In order to throw ail inquiry of the scent and avold a habeas corpus until a requisltion could be obtained, the man McLaughiin was separated from the others aid taken to the Central Volice Oftice, where he finally consented to go to Whiladeiphia wishout waiting for @ requisition, and lef in the midnight train in charge of officer Scott, and where, as our readers are aware, on Monday he was confronted with Mr. Brooks, and fully identified as the person who drove the hack, which he at last coniessea, The Philadelphia authorities also took prompt action in the matter. Tie men were at once in- dicted by the Grand Jury. A requisition was ob- tained for them, which would have reached bere Saturday night but for the freshet. Meantime great secrecy Was observed, lest the fact of the arrest should leak out and the prisoners be rescued by habeas corpus before the arrival of the requisition, Despite ail care the arrest did become known and a habeas corpus was issued yesterday, but owing to the adroitness of Superintendent Kennedy it was not served upon him. A Philadelphia officer having arrived, who had personal knowledge of the indict- ment and requisition, in order to prevent the posai- bility of arescue, at a inte hour last night went before Justice Ledwith and made a complaiut, upon which @ commitinent Was granted. The requisition will be here this morning, and the men who, it is alleged, attempted assassination fur hire at the beck of the “whiskey ring’ will this morning jeave ‘or Philadelphia in an early train. ADAGIT SNEAK BOBBERY. A Tray of Diamonds Stolen, Yesterday afternoon a member of the firm of Bishop & Retn, jewellers, doing business in the Fifth Avenue Hotel building, appeared at the Central Detective office and informed Chief Kelso that they had been again victimized by some unusually shrewd sneak thief, who had stolen out of (ne giuss case of one of their counters @ tay containing a monds valued at §6,2.0. No one in the store Saw the robbery committed, nor was any suspicious erson noticed about the premises, The most precise information tending to poiut out the thief that could be given Chief Kelso was that one of the clerks pio- fessed to have seen @ ian jeaning upon the counter, bat he did not pretend that he saw anything suspi- cious or unuscal in his actions, and, mdeed, had noticed him so casually that he was unabie to give any description of his person, The ¢ does indeed 1106, Biack Hurry and mate kept the lead ‘ound the lower turn, and coming into the home- stretch preserved the iront piace until the score was reached, winning the heat by one length in 2:32%4.
