D IS THE GREATEST H CREATOR KNOWN JEWETT CITY Jewett City people aré tremendously interested in the high water question, now that it is the 34th anniversary of the great flood when Jewett City, busi- ness-wise, was practically, wiped off the map. Old clippings, records and diaries show that Saturday, Feb. 13, 1886, was a day of horror for Jewett i City. Never before, and never since then, have the_people been called upon to witness such wholesale destruction. One diary says: How many times the wonder has been expressed that mo lives were sacrificed on that memora- ble day. Very close approaches to fatality were reported, and in fact wit- nessed, among which was the rescue of Mrs. Warren Thornton by P. B.| Driscoll, who bravely crossed to her rescue the ‘swaying railroad bridge, against which was piled an immense jam of debris, which in holding back the onrushing flood served to sustain a pressure beyond comprehension. - No sooner had they reached a place of safety, and even while the cheers of the crowd were, rending the air, one {of the large steel boilers which were used as petroleum tanks by the Slater mills, which had been washed from its moorings, came bounding down the swollen stream with the speed of a race horse and struck the rick of tim- bers, planks, parts of houses, ete. With a_deafening roar and crash,and groan, which mingled with the excla- mations of horror and fear from the assembled snectators, the whole busi ness, plers, abutments, ties, planks, timbers, barrels, boxes, hencoops, roofs, swine receptacles, boiler and all were swept hway by the impetuous torrent, leaving only' a swaying sus- pension of steel rails. James McGovern, an old man, who lived on Factory Hill, was nearly drowned in the river that was left in the bed of the Slater nond after 'the dam had been washed away: he was saved bv some young men who saw I his peril. A wise and all-merciful Providence had @ecreed that no life shonld be lost. - There had been sev- 1 : ion to take | eral davs of.steady rain. the hills were ment’s earliest | covered with snow. and the lakes and rivers with heavy ice.

That night when the mills shut down, for what proved to bhe &0 long a time, and the employes went home from their work, knots of men were here and there gazing at the fast rising water. Some prophesied that before moarninz something unusual would | take place. i On the banks of the streams, in the nlaces of business and on the streets | it was the only tonic for the évening’s discussion. But few thought of sleep, for as the time passed, so the water everywhere increased, rapidly and steadily. The people on the lower flats of the village exnected to hear every minute the awful cry that the dams had given away and that they must frun for thelr lives. Special guards, watchmen and heralds volunteered their services for that night of vigil. Morning dawned, disclosing the fact that everything must soon succumb to the awful strain. Many attemnts were made at Ashland to stop up the fast zulleving embankment but it was la- bor lost, and ‘only after hours of ry Konsyor = Fee marriages Earl G. Ciarke and Rosanna Dumais, | Adhemard & Labarre and Florence | Lewis, Louls A Seneeal and Armina give it up. The Ashland dam went first, and this flood swept everything before' it. ~Slater's dam _followed. Houses, bridges, the machine shop, gas house, dye house and other build- ings of the Slater company collapsed like bubbles. All to the sputh was one inseparable mass of destruction and foaming water rushing on down the valley, and behind was wreck, ruin and chaos. Everything was at a standstill, and all remember the gloomy days that followed. The village was almost in the powers of a lawless, drunken mob. Five years later the following clip- ping was taken from The Bulleti We are on the boom again. Cash and courage have put Jewett City on its feet again, and today we find that e were never in better condition. A smailer purse than Mr. Slater’s would hardly have st3od the storm. The only remnants of the flood of 1886 to be! seen now (1891) is the Lisbon bridge, whose battered sides still speak louder than words of the times of five vears ago.
