New Oklra-nb. March 15 .--The river
here at 8 a. m. yesterday was 18 8-10
feat. At noon it was repo rted by the
harbor master at 16 feet 9 inches and at -
2:50 reported water at 17 feet, but it re¬
mained at that po ut but a short while
when it receded to Id feet 8 inches,
where it scorned to make a stand. This
was 6 inches above the record of other
years con the water went over the
levees all :;1 n< the city front at every
depression or I-.jw place and soon flooded
■the streets and sidewalks of a large sec¬
tion of the city.
Street,* mid -Llnwatks Submerged.
Lp town at the head of Jackson,
Washington anil Saraparn streets the
waves washed over the levee and sub¬
merged the -tieets and sidewalks. The
same thing occurred at other points
down Paydra- street. Here the water
spread out over the broad space occu¬
pied by the Morgan road, filled up the
low places and then began to flow down
Paydras and Out into the cross streets,
at either side covering the sidewalks on
Paydras street as far as St. Charles
street, and filling the gutters back to
the drainage canals in the rear of the
city.
Lower Floors Flooded.
Op Gravier street the water flowed
freely, completely covering tne street in
places. At the head of Canal street the
water was running over the levee, but
very little; but from Custom House
street to Conti the water came over the
levees streets freely and completely submerged
the and in rnauy places the side¬
walks and lower floors of business
houses. 1 rom the north side of Canal
to Hi spital street, a distance of fourteen
blocks, from the river to Rampart
street, a distance of eight blocks, the
water flows off in : the gutters of street
drains to the drainage canals in the rear
of the city.
. „
The Damage Not Great-
Below Elsian Fields street the water
is also passing over the levee in many
places. On the north side of Canal
street the sidewalk in front of the town
buildings was overflowed. Hill's jew¬
elry store was in vaded by the water and
other business places suffered in like
manner.
The damage done so far i3 not great.
The greatest damage was that sustained
by merchants who had sugar stored in
the old bonded warehouse on Old LeVee
street. At 9:80 the guage at the head
of canal street was i6 (MO feet, show¬
ing that the river has remained station¬
ary since 3 p. m.
This overflow seams to have taken
people by surprise, though all who had
business on tne levee made preparations
for it to the extent of removing their
goods to safe ednesday quarters, evening the levees
bince vv
across the river hi have been in danger
and the water is coming over from the
line of the Davis crevasse above the
city to the lower line, a distance of
some fifteen miles. In many instances
the water flows back for ten squares. -
Large forces have been at work raising
the levee with sacks filled with earth.
A Break Quickly Closed.
The Southern and Crescent oil mills
were being wasiied under by the water
and the boors were torn away and em¬
bankments built underneatli.
A break occurred at tue Hatch place,
near Harvey’s canal, but it only reached
a width of four leet when it was dis¬
covered and promptly closed. It is stiil
a dangerous spot, as the levee is very
weak there. The levee at Sharp’s where place,
live miles above Gretna, there
was a serious crevasse some years ago,
is again creating anxiety, as it shows-
signs of weakening, and a force of men
worked all night to strengthen it.
