At the side of her little placa on Third street there is a water hydrant and a telephone pole. To day a standpipe for the use of the atreat aprinkler was there erected.

Mrs. Joan A. Matsuwa received a letter on Saturday morning from Mrs. Bush of Tioga, Pa., narrating the effects of the dis astrous floods at that point. The letter states that Tioga is ruined by the greatest flood ever known.In that section, people were driven to the upper floors and the water was four feet deep in the house. The water rose very rapidly and almost before they could leave the lower floors the water was up to their knees. The day following was, in the city, “as silent as the grave”— everyone being confined to their homes and water everywhere. The lady then narrates the events after the flood, hoeing out the mud from the kitchen, and shoveling it off the carpets, featuring the piano, which had been floating around, to its resting place, getting supplies of coffee, etc., from skiffs. No telegraph, no bridges, no railroads. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews leave for Tioga this evening.
