IS THE RBMARKABLE RISE OF THE
RIVER AND CREEKS HERB.

Road Here Blocked.
From last Friday's Herald.
The brooks, oreeks and rivers of this
seotion of the State are all surging,
maddened toirenta today. \
The enormity of the rainfall whioh
visited Middle Georgia last Tuesday
uinht is being evidenced today by the
great qnanlity of water that Is now
seeking outlet to the sea through the
river channels, whioh are proving all
too small to accommodate the floodB of
red, muddy water wluoh oomes surging
through them, and the rivers and creeks
havo left their banks and are now
rapidly spreading over the lowlands
through whioh their courses lead.
It was not realized at first wbat an
enormous amount of water fell Tuesday
night, but it Is now dawning upon the
people that the preoipttation at Amerl-
ous, Buena ViBta, Eufaula and other
points north of Albany was so remark
ably heavy as to warrant the title of a
water Bpont" or "olond-bnrst.”
Albany Is just now seeing the effeots
of this great rainfall In the rapid rise of
the oreeks and river here. Wednesday
afternoon these streams were in their
banks, the water not being over two or
three feet high, and flowing peacefully
on to the sea. Wednesday night these
streams began to rise. They grew red
der as they rose higher, and today they
are surging torrents of mad waters
sweeping by with remarkable speed.
The river recorded the most remark
able rise In its history last night, when
from sundown yesterday afternoon to
daylight this morning it rose 7% feet
straight np and down, and at 0 o’olook
this morning it had risen two feet more.
The water stood at 28% feet at that
honr, and was still rising rapidly.
Dink Melvin, an old fisherman, who
has llvod on the river and watched its
flnotnatlonB for fifty years, said this
morning that he had never known the
river to rise with snoh great rapidity.
In faot, he said that he had never seen
the river rise half so fast before.
Both the Mnokalee and Ktnohafoonee
creeks have risen abont as rapidly as
the river, and they are still rising.
GREAT' DAMAGE EXPECTED.
A Heuald reporter talked with quite
a number of fishermen who watoh the
river and know its‘nature, we might
say, and all agree that a great freshet
is now begnu. All are confident that
the river will break all prevlcns reoords
for high water before its now rising
waters begin to reoede.
The inhabitants who occupy houses
near the river are preparing to move
ont today, for they] confidently expect
the water to snrronnd thoir houses dur
ing the night.
It such a freshet as is expected oomes,
great damage will be done to erops in
the low lands below Albany. There is a
good deal of cotton and oorn planted In
the river bottoms below here and this
will be inundated.
GUN TRAP IN DANOEIi.
The members of the Albany Gnn
Olnb are feeling some anxiety for their
trap and honses down near the river
below the depot. The trap hense is
now partially submerged It is feared
thut the gun house of the clnb will be
washed away daring the night, and the
trap house may go, also.
GREAT DAMAGE TO RAILROADS.
The railroads will, perhaps, suffer the
greatest property damage from the
olondbnrst Tuesday. The Central rail
road, especially, has suffered a great loss
of bnslness as well as damage to Its
property. It is reported that seven
miles of this company's track between
Smithville and Macon haB been washed
away. Since Tuesday afternoon there
have been no trains on thiB road between
Albany and Maoon. Today two wash
outs are reported on the Blakely exten
sion branch Detween Williamsburg and
Leary. The passenger train whioh left
Albany yesterday afternoon at 3:45 for
Hartford had just passed over Notoh-
away oreeek when the entire trestle over
that stream gave way. The train dne
to arrive here from Hartford at 8:25
last night never reached the city, bnt
the noon train today pissed the wash
out and came In praotically on time.
Mr. Pitchfoid, the oommerolal agent
of thiB road here, was seen by - a Her
ald reporter this morning and said that
he oouli not say when traffic wonld be
resumed on the road between Maoon
and Albany. He satd that the work of
repairing the washouts wonld be pushed
forward^as rapidly as possible, bnt that
they oould give no definite information
as to when they would be able to run
their trains again.

A. A N. BRIDGE UNSAFE.
The A. Sc N. bridge over the Hlnoha-
foonee oreek, two miles above the oity,
is six inobes ont of plumb and is re
garded unsafe for the passage of trains.
The passengers and baggage from the
train from Oordele dne here at 11:30
this morning were transferred to an
other train on this side. Great uneasi
ness is felt by the officials of the road
for this bridge, whioh is believed to be
in the greatest danger.
COUNTV BRIDGE IMPASSIBLE.
The water has risen over the abut
ments of tho oonnty wagon bridge over
Kinohnfoonoe oreek and that bridge is
now impassible. The small bridge joBt
this side of the main bridge has been
washed away and the water iB baoked
np in the road for several hundred
yards south of the abutments of the
bridge.
Connty Commissioner Wilder said
today that he was afraid that the bridge
wonld bo washed away.
OTHER BRIDGES REGARDED SAFE.
The bridge across the Mnokafoonee
creek, the bridge aorosB the river here
and the railroad bridge aoroas the river
are believod to be safe, and no apprehen
sion is felt for them. However, every
preoautlon will be taken to keep float
ing logs and driftwood from lodging
against the piers.

At 2 o’olook thiB afternoon the river
had reaohed the height of 26% feet, hav.

A French Euloiy ol t Feminine Accom

From Sntardny’a Dally Herald.
The speotal oommittee ot the Oity
Oonnoil olosed a deal yeaterday after,
noon with Mr. R. S. Smith for thn
thiee- eighths of anaore lot west-of and
adjoining the water works property.
The price paid for the lot was f1,260.
The small cottage now on the lot will
be moved by Mr. Smith inside of five
days, aeoording to the oontraot.
The oity has pnrohased this lot In or
der to have more room for Its new eleo-
trlo plant. The original plan wan to
erect the new' building- on the vaoant
space in front of the water tower, bnt
thle arrangement wonld have made the
premises very orowded and inconve
nient. By plaolng the new bnlldlng on
the lot pnrohased, the cost of attaohing
the bollere and engines with etoam pip
ing will he decreased by several hun
dred dollars, and the general arrange
ment of the plant will be so mnoh bet
ter that the additional expenditure Is
fnlly warranted.
As soon as the Smith oottage Is moved
the work on the electric plant will Do
begun. Work on the new boiler room
has already started, and is now well un
der way.
Says the Westminster Gazette:
All manner of arguments are being
put forward jnst now—vide silly season
correspondence In half a dozen dally
and weekly papers—for the purpose of
oajoling or frightening women baok Into
becoming tho excellent housewives
whioh "grandmothers” are said to have
been. Bnt the oleverest argument In
favor of a return to the vanishing do-
mestiolties is pnt forward by a French
]ady in the columns of a Parisian con
temporary. Turning from housewifery
in general to the "art of the needle,”
eho says:
"It oannot be denied that a pretty
hand, wielding thle delioate weapon; a
pretty figure bending , over a pieoe of
work;a pair of bright eyes, thought-
folly, attentively considering the artiole
In hand, have a oharm of their own.
The attitude of oalm serenity and lnno-
cenoe is, moreover, a delightful piece of
ooquetry, standing in graoefnl contrast
to the general restlessness of the time.”
If anything could bring the non-
domeetioated woman baok to the for
saken worktable, sorely this vision of
herself ought to do so. It is certainly
more attractive than tho woman on her
wheel, or on her automobile.
