gthc ||gratd and |^terBsq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, August 5tn, 1887. THE GREAT FRESHET. Immense Damage to Crops. Railroads and Other Property. Atlanta Constitution. Augusta, Ga., July 31.—Augusta to day reminds one forcibly of that beau- t iful city, Venice. Almost the entire place is one smooth, but pretty expanse of water, dotted with boats of every description, from a sailing yacht to the smallest canoe. Boats drawing five feet of water can be carried over tliree-fourths of the city without danger of running aground. People were piling in the boats pell mell from midnight last night till noon to-day, seeking places of safety from the rapid rise of the waters, and then boats were so scarce that many had to sleep in the second story of their houses.' Dams were built in front of many yards, and even before the doors and windows on piazzas, but these were quickly overflowed, when those whose houses had two stories fled to the sec ond, but those who were not so fortun ate were compelled to mount chairs and beds, awaiting the arrival of boats. Many floated out on hastily constructed rafts. A number of those who own boats have acted very badly, charging as much as a dollar ajiiece to remove peo ple from their houses that were rapidly filling. Of course, poor people had to pay this extortionate rate, as they fear ed drowning, and each and every boat man has made from one to five hundred dollars. As was predicted, the river continued to rise.all last night and to-day, when, at 2 o’clock, it reached its height, thir ty-five feet. Since then it has fallen slightly, and to-night one inch fall is registered. .Shortly after 2 o’clock your corres pondent secured a boat and first crossed the river into Hamburg. In many places there the water is fully eigh teen feet deep. I noticed water up to the roof of many small dwelling houses, and there is not a house in the entire place that the first floor is not submerg ed. Not only all business has been sus pended, but tlie- entire populace have moved with their live stock over to .Schultz hill. Many liogs and cows were drowned, and wagon bodies, tubs, chairs, and all manner of household goods may be seen floating around on the water. None but foot passengers were allowed to cross the bridge, and they were all advised not to make the attempt. The South Carolina train was unable to get nearer than a mile to the bridge, 400 feet of the Hamburg trestle having been washed away. The Charleston, Columbus and Augusta, nor the South Carolina train didn’t go out this morn ing, as the bridges were deemed unsafe, but this afternoon both trains went out, after delaying some' hours. The Charleston, Columbus and Augusta trestle is all right in Hamburg, but the Port Royal trestle leading to the bridge three miles below the city, has been en tirely washed away, and no trains are running. I then rowed up the river to the eastern portion of the city. There near the bank the water is running into the second story of the houses. Out of some four hundred houses in that neigh borhood, there are now hardly half a dozen inhabited. Batteaux were being paddled through the lower floors of many houses, and the water is from five to twenty feet deep. We then rowed up through Broad street from the Planters’ hotel to the extreme upper end, and there the water is flooding all the stores, not one having escaped, and is in the first floor of many dwelling houses. We then proceeded out to Green street, above the Enterprise factory, which has water all over the ground floor, and the stores in the neighborhood are covered in two instances over the coun ters. On account of the height of the canal bank we were compelled to go back and come down Ellis street, which was flooded as much as Broad. On Green street, near McKinnie, all per sons living on the south side were com pelled to leave their houses, and we there found the canal bank leaking near the bottom. As the water in the canal was six feet above that in Green street, and it was feared that it would break in a short time, a messenger was quickly dispatched to the superinten dent, who, in a short time, arrived and patched it in such a manner as to pre vent it breaking, unless another rise oc curs to-night. Turning a corner, we were carried down by the swift current on Kolloch street to Berry’s flour mills, which were surrounded, and thence to C. F. Lom bard’s iron foundry. There the dam between the second and third levels of the canal had broken, and a perfect tor rent was sweeping around the foundry, the water being at least ten feet deep. It was expected every minute to be swept away, but has so far been unin jured. From appearances in that sec tion, which is a very low portion of the city, all the houses were covered over the first floors, and were deserted. Here again all manner of household - goods were to be seen floating in the waters, and many boats were so busy removing the people that they had not time to pick them up. The water was up to the Georgia railroad trestle at the grain elevator, and cars loaded with coal were placed upon it to keep it from floating away, the bridge immediately ing farther, we found the greater por tion of Dublin under water. And there again many houses were vacated.. The water extended all down Walker street, past East Boundry, covering the South ; Commons park, the cemetery and ex tending over all the land between there and the bend in the river below the city. In coming back our boat, which was rowed by two strong men, became unmanageable, owing to the swift cur rent floating through Cummings street, j at its intersection with Green, and we j were swept into a tree, when the boat j was capsized. But I fortunately caught to the tree, which I climbed, and where I remained until rescued by a passing ! boat. The two oarsmen climbed on a fence near by. After leaving the wa- j ter I took a tour through the balance j of the city and found the only dry por tion to be that narrow strip between Green and Reynolds, below Campbell. Thus it will be seen that fully seven- eighths of Augusta is inundated. Thous ands of people have been to view the overflowed portion, and it seems that every citizen of Augusta has called at the bridge to watch the rise of the wa ter. The boys have enjoyed the over flow hugely, as each and every one has been able to go in swimming in front of his own door, and all have taken ad vantage of the opportunity. That portion of the city which is not overflowed is very much crowded to-night, the hotels and all other avail able space for sleeping being occupied. At this hour (Op. M.) it is still raining here, having been pouring down almost every minute since five o’clock this af ternoon. Telegrams from Anderson and other points above here on the river are to the effect that heavy rains are falling, and although the river has fallen slight ly, another rise is apprehended. If this proves true, the damage to Augus ta will be very great. The foundations to hundreds of houses have already been seriously damaged by the swift currents of water, and it«is to be hoped that another rise will not strike the city. The locks have been in great danger all day, and a large force of hands have been sent up to repair the leaks, etc. The telephone wire poles have been washed down, and wires broken, conse quently nothing definite can be heard to-night, although wild rumors have been afloat that the locks were entirely gone, and that a deluge of water would soon sweep over the city, but the del uge has not come yet, and it is evident these rumors are groundless. Word comes from below Augusta that many farmers have had their live stock drowned, and I learn Mr. Crawford Rhodes has lost $5,000 worth of blooded horses and cattle. Augusta, Ga.. Aug. 1.—At ten o’clock to-night the entire city was thrown into an uproar by “Big Steve,” the old lire alarm bell, sounding thirty taps, which signal is to call the whole city out. The people rushed out into the dry streets in their night robes, and those in the flooded district ran to the windows. Ladies and children were screaming, and the entire city thought a wave was to rush over and swallow up Augusta. Men were rushing around frantically, many to their wives and children, while others ran in every direction, not knowing at any moment what would happen. However, it soon became noised around that tlie canal bank on upper Green street was breaking, and that the water would flood the entire city, the water in the canal being six feet above that on upper Green and Broad streets. Every merchant in the city then rushed to their stores, with all speed, and are still at this hour, 2 A.* 31., at work, removing thrir goods on shelves and in the second stories. As soon as the fact was noised around, your correspondent secured a boat and, rowed by two powerful oarsmen, set out for the scene, but the water was coming down Green street in such tor rents that the boat was capsized. Be ing unable to reach it that way I se cured a tall horse and reached the scene by going a circuitous route, and nearly swimming the horse. There I found a force of hands at work throw ing in sand bags, but their efforts proved futile, and the bank is washing away very rapidly. Already there is a breach twenty feet in width, which is enlarg ing rapidly. Through this the water is flowing at an inconceivable rate, wash ing away everything in its track. Small wooden houses in the rear are being washed around into the street, and it is feared all brick houses in the neighbor hood will be undermined and mined. The water is rushing down Green street, near the break, at a rapid rate, and is rising fast into the houses. Fortunately all the occupants of the houses near by have been removed, and there is hardly any danger of loss of life. The water is rapidly rising in Green, Telfair, Walker and Fenwick streets, and is rushing down below McIntosh. It is feared this break, when it enlarges a little more, which it is rapidly doing, will flood all that sec tion from Green street south two or three feet higher than it now is. Many boats are now being carried there to remove occupants of the houses, if found necessary. No one is asleep, but many seem de termined to remain in their houses to the last moment. At 2 A. M. the river has fallen about three inches from the highest point, which was reached at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and is now at a stand. It is feared the heavy rains which are reported from up the river this afternoon will cause another rise. | This, together with the break in the j canal, will cause a loss of many Iiun-! dred thousands of dollars, perhaps! millions, in Augusta. Streets are washed so badly that it will take six months j work to again put them in good condi- j tion. Nearly every sewer is bursted, j and, nil in all, affairs are in a terrible j condition. The disastrous floods of tlie past few ; days-will result in appalling loss to far-1 mers. From a few miles below tlie head : waters of the Savannah to where it | reaches the sea its banks are overflowed. J and the water covers vast areas on i either side of its channel. Tlie situa-! tion in Augusta this morning is more than alarming. At least one-half the city is under water, and the rain is de scending steadily. Notwithstanding the rain, however, the river is slowly falling. But another and greater ca lamity threatens us. A little after dark Augusta was startled by a general fire alarm and the rumor spread like wind that the third level of the Augus ta canal had given away. This meant an inundation of from two to five feet of our highest streets, and the probable loss of many lives. Men, women and children thronged tlie streets, and cries of fear and la mentation were frequent and distress ing. The hundreds that had relatives and friends near the reported scene of the break rushed in that direction cry ing for help to follow to the rescue. The break was visited by your corres pondent, most of the distance being compassed in a boat, and it was found that while the break really existed, it was small and wearing away the em bankment much less rapidly than was at first believed. But there seems at this writing no possible way of stopping it, and because the canal is five feet higher than our highest streets, the city must be entirely flooded and to an alarming depth. The stores on Broad and other business streets are open, and merchants are busy moving their goods to the upper shelves. So far no loss of life has been reported. Macon, Ga., July 31st.—Middle Georgia has been damaged to the ex tent of a million dollars by the freshet. The water, according to Captain Jim Simpson, reached a point six inches above the high water marks of the Harrison, Centennial, and the freshet of April, 1880. Tlie valley homes in East Macon were all abandoned, and tiiat locality presented a very deserted appearance. Some of them had their furniture ruined, and all lost more or less. Luck ily there were no lives lost. The Ocmulgee' is raging like a mountain torrent. Great white pools, like breakers on the ocean surf, foam and lasli themselves into fury, finally bursting with insane glee against the solid piers of the bridges. Whole trees torn up by the roots came floating along on the yellow tide, and beat and hammer the bridges in their headlong career. The swamp lands are submerged for miles, and as far as the eye could reach is one broad yellow sea. All the fine crops of corn and cotton are under wa ter, and some of them totally ruined. The levee at the Central City Park broke in several places, and the turbid tide went rushing in on its errand of destruction. Captain Simpson ordered the street gang to the front, and they labored hard to stop-the influx of the water, and with partial success. Al though the mile track is under water, there has not been sufficient current to make any bad washes. A wrecking train started up the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia road to-day to make any necessary repairs. There has been no passenger train on the road from Atlanta in twenty-four hours. Cemmercial travelers, on the various lines of road south of here, report the flood as a general calamity all over the State. Fears-are entertained for the safety of the city bridge. At nightfall yesterday the crowds that thronged the city bridge gradually dispersed, and the pallid light of a summer moon shone feebly through banks of ragged clouds on a scene of desolation far-reaching and terrible. By midnight the flood had- risen to a height of fifteen inches higher than the highest flood mark of which history gives a record. Great muddy surges writhed and twisted and dashed themselves against the bridge piers with an incessant roar that was appalling. At an early hour to-day crowds be gan to flock to the river, and all day long they have huddled about the ap proaches to the bridge and thronged the high bluff west of the river. To-day a large crowd was assembled on the bridge when a big tree came plunging down the maddened current, and like some dying monster it writhed about the middle pillar and lashed the bridge savagely, knocking a big hole in the wood work. The scene beggars description. Those who were on the bridge stampeded in mortal terror, aud many outside cried, “The bridge is going r which added to the fright of those on the trembling structure. Dur ing the excitement a little two-year-old boy of Mrs. Barlow’s went’into convul sions with fright, and is still critically ill. The embankments at either approach of the Covington and Macon railroad bridge have been badly washed and broken, and the track is resting on the trestling at this end. The new . iron bridge itself has sustained serious dam-. age. One of the main piers has been ! sevcmi towns along the line and cut I moved slightly, and the bridge has been ; them off from any railroad c-onnec- j thrown out of plumb. ' tion?.

A good deal of un easiness is felt in regard to the State Fair buildings. This afternoon the condition of the wagon bridge was so critical that the authorities thought tit to patrol it, and keep the people off it. off all the soil. Reports reaching the' city this afternoon from the fanners of i this c<funty along tlie Chattahoochee j river, say all the crops are lost. Mr. , .Tim IIudmon, a hitherto prosperous j planter, is reported to have lost all his ' crops, and several head of fine cattle. Your correspondent obtained leave j Travel is almost suspended, and no to cross and examine the broken por-1 trade from the flooded districts. The tion. The big tree is still twisted about Western railroad passes trains over the great pier, and the flooring has been knocked off the footpath and the balustrade is broken. The -water is very near to a level with the sills. The embankment be yond i? ten or fifteen feet high, near the bridge, and the water is lapping along near the top of it. The water has been stubbornly hold ing its own all day, and some even claim that it is rising. On the alluvial soil the damage promises to be still greater, as the torrent eats away the foundations of the buildings. The harm done will be incalculably worse than that done by the freshet of 1S86. Trains cannot run on the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia road; nei ther is there any communication with points above on account of damage to the telegraph lines. The washouts on the Georgia road prevent the running through of trains on that line, and the same may be said of the Covington and Macon. Should the wagon bridge go, which it may during the night, communica tion between east and west Macon will be cut off except by the Central rail road bridge. Some citizens are of the opinion that the water from the floods above is just now striking us fully and that the river will rise still higher yet. Texnelle, Ga., July 31.—The old re liable Central accomplished a great feat to-day, making one of the most extraordinary transfers on record, thereby sustaining their well-earned reputation for reliability and prompt ness in running their trains. Steady rains for two weeks have made the Oconee river six feet higher than ever known. When trains No. 1 and 2, con ductors Powers and Bobee, reached there, they found the road ijnpassable for three miles. Undaunted, they made the transfer of passengers, baggage and mails in pole cars in a pouring rain. The embankments and trestles were submerged in many places. Columbus, Ga., July.29.—The Chat tahoochee, from this point all the way down to Apalachicola, is booming over its banks, and an average, width of five miles of bottom land is under water. The loss to farmers in the region re ferred to cannot be less than $1,500,- 000. When the rain began to fall, it was greeted as a pleasant change from the exasperatingly hot weather of the past few weeks. Night closed in murky darkness,, and the rain continued to fall in torrents, making streams as large as little rivers, which cut through the earth, plowing their way to the Chatta hoochee river. Yesterday the Chatta hoochee began to show signs of the floods which were pouring into its bos om, arid then the waters spread out until large plantations were covered. Woolfolk’s Bend is entirely sub merged. Woolf oik Walker has one hundred acres under water, from which he would have gathered fifty bales of cotton. The crop, of course, is entirely ruined. Flournoy’s, on the Alabama side of the river, was swept ruthlessly by the flooding waters. Many cattle were swept away; colored* cabins floated away like toy houses, while the in mates ran to the inland in terror of their lives. Around Wright’s Bend the scene is pitiable. Colonel Hatcher’s plantation is under several feet of water, which causes him alone a loss of 300 bales of cotton and 6,000 bushels of corn. The 1,000 acre plantation of Mr. J. Kyle is another which has been com pletely destroyed. It was worked by Manuel Baker, James Baker and Reu ben Baker, colored. These colored men were among the most prosperous of their race in the State, making from fifty to eighty bales of cotton each. As the waters crept in upon them, they not only saw their maturing cot ton swept away, but stock, cabins, fur niture, and all, went booming down to the gulf. Chimney -Bluff is another scene of disaster, where John Bass’ plantation is nothing but a marsh. This strip of country is the richest bottom land in the South, and from Columbus to Apalachicola was bearing an excellent cotton crop. Not an acre which is under water will produce any thing this year. The majority of the plantations were worked on shares by colored men, so that, added to the loss of the bottom crop, the suffering of the tenants for food and from exposure must be considered. Opelika, Ala., July 31.—Details from Tallapoosa county, through which the Tallapoosa river rises, are fearful in the damages to farming, and all bus iness in reach of the raging waters be tween Jackson gap and Goodwater, a distance of about twenty miles. The Columbus and Western railroad is so badly broken that the officials say they their washouts, and all the wreck is raised on the track, save the first-class coach airil sleeping car. Manager Gal>- bett is still on the scene and gives per sonal supervision to the work. The people of West Point are alarmed over the swollen condition of the Chatta hoochee, and are apprehensive of an other flood. The damage to this im mediate section and to the territory upon which Opelika is largely depend ent is far greater than at first anticipa ted, and an accurate estimate cannot yet l>e reached. The night is yet threatening and more rain expected. It has been raining all day, with few short intervals. West Point, Ga., July 31.—Though it is the Sabbath, the scene on the streets is one of active life. Wagons are being driven hurriedly along with every con ceivable article of merchandise in them. Some are storing goods on the hills, others are laden with provisions against the siege of waters, which are now fast circumventing our movements. In deed, the town is completely surround ed by the flood element. The stable men have removed their stock to the heights. Merchants, many of whom have provided scaffolds in the rear of their stores for hoisting goods, have ele vated their stocks. The rain is falling steadily. Mercilessly the river en croaches upon the main streets. The influx does seem to promise, greater disaster to the place than tlujt of March, 1886. To-morrow the spectacle will, no doubt, rival all former ones. The loss will not be so great, owing to timely warning and lessons dearly learned in the past. Boats are being rapidly constructed and launched and there are many ply ing the seething waters of the broad and yellow Chattahoochee. . Social Circle, Ga., July 31.—Never before in the history of the place has there been such a tremendous rainfall as that which began here Thursday morning, continuing almost incessantly until this morning, at times pouring in torrents, which, in connection with high winds last night and the night before, have done untold damage to crops and other property, public and individual. Alcova river was said to be four feet higher yesterday than ever known be fore, and rising at an alarming rate. LaGrange, Ga., July 30.—The far mers of Troup county report great dam age to both cotton and corn from the rain and wind. Cotton was blown down and bolls and limbs broken off, and can’t be plowed, because the stalks are lying across the rows. Anything like a true estimate of the damage is impossi ble as yet, as the rain continues. At present, the river is higher than ever known at this time of year, even by our oldest inhabitants. America's, Ga., July 30.—The rain fall throughout this section the past week has been almost unprecedented, but having fallen slowly very little damage has resulted except to crops, which, if the rain continues, must be greatly injured. A rise of eight feet in Flint river is reported. Fort Gaines, Ga., July 30.—Heavy rains have prevailed here, and some strong wind. • The Chattahoochee river at this point has risen thirty-two feet and is still rising. Boats cannot pass under the bridge. Eufaula, Ala., July 30.—The river rose seven inches in four hours this morning and is way out of its banks. The land in the bottoms is all over flowed for miles up and down, and the crops are totally ruined Rome, Ga., July 31.—Light rains have fallen in the last twenty-four hours, not sufficient to injure crops in this county, as far as heard from. The rivers are rising very slowly, and there is at this time no apprehension of a freshet. We have been very fortunate thus far. Opelika, Ala., July 30.—Reports are coming in slowly as to the damage don,e crops by the rains in this immediate section. Com is almost a total loss, while cotton has suffered greatly. Bot tom lands have been inundated and great damage done to the soil. Every railroad has suffered more or less. The damage to the Western railroad is the greatest of those suffering from wash outs. All of the wreck has not yet been cleared away. The Columbus and Wes tern has eleven washouts between this city and Goodwater, and all communi cation is cut off. The passenger train on the Columbus and Western is still in the ditch and travel is suspended. Milledgeville, Ga., July 30.—The Oconee river is at the highest point ever known here before. It rose rapidly last night and this morning was ten feet higher than the great freshet of last year. A house that has never been touched before was washed away this morning. The Georgia railroad bridg& at this place is swept entirely away. The wagon bridge over the Oconee, and a railroad trestle at Tobleris creek, are Georgia road passenger train, due here yesterday at 4:20, is caught between two washouts and can move in neither di rection. Three benches were washed from under the Central road bridge over Little river and travel is suspend ed on that line. Reports say that all the bridges over Little river in Putnam county are gone. Several fine millS on tlie stream are washed away. Farmers along the tremendous scope of country now covered by water are ruined, and depression is painted upon the faces of tlie unfortunate victims. An estimate of the loss in Baldwin county alone is impossible, but it is not believed that $250,000 is a wild estimate. The wires are all down, there are no trains, and business is suspended. . Monroe, Ga., July 31.—It has rained here incessantly for forty-eight hours. All the bottom'corn is injured at least, half its value. The damage to nulls and bridges will be immense. There lias been no such freshet since 1840. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
