OVERFLOW WORST IN THIRTY-FIVE YEARS Heavy Rains Continue Throughout State of California, but Are Une Recompanied by Destrue- tive Winds. LANCASTER, Pa., Feb. 26.—Residents along the river front at Columbia are in a state of terror tonight. The worst flood in recent years in being experienced. The ice on the Susquebanna river broke about 4 o'clock and passed down etream until it reached the old dam just below Columbla, where a jam formed. Then the water be- gan to back up and in a short time had risen nine feet. The Conestoga is pouring a great volume of water into the river at Safe Harbor. This stream is higher than it has been for thirty-five years. At midoight the river was still rising. Ice has jammed against the bridge extend- ing out from the Columbia shore to one fourth of its length and is plled about eight feet above its floor.

About half a dozen of the nest of mills at Manayunk, which as a rule are more or less affected by every rise in the river, were compelled to either partially or entirely suspend operations for the day.

Below the limits of the park a number of wharves were inundated and quantities of coal and sand, which were stored on them, were washed away.
