J anetville, April 16 â€" The warm days of April 5th and 6th caused the snow to disappear very rapidly. The water flowed in torrents, swelling the larger streams and creeks to a higher water level than ever before known. The freshet did much \damage to the bridges, and culverts were washed away, leaving the roads \im- passable. The traffic between the village and the station was entirely stopped from Saturday till Tuesday. and those who were holidaying were compelled to stay on either side of the creek until the water lowered. Mr Bradbum of Hamilton and Mr Hob’bs of Tbronto, were visiting their par- ents here, and as they wished to re- turn to the city on Monday, they made a desperate effort to cross the marsh and creek. They drove to the Annie Gillie, of St. Louis, Mrs John Rutherford, and Mr. Wm. Gillie, of Verulam were unable to attend, the two latter on account of the impas- sable state of the roads.

Here the sagacious horse decided to remain, and Mr. Bradburn had to dismount in the water and wade back until rescued by Dr. Gilson who drove him as fast as possible back to the village. After much labor in making a raft, the horse was freed from the bridge. The young men were satisfied to stay in the village for another day. On Tuesday Mr. Hillard McGill was first to drive across the bridge, and brought Mrs. G. A. Beggs from the station, where she was compelled to’ stay from Monday.

Bourgoyne, running at a terrific rate of speed, struck the Cro- martyshire on the port bow, and the French vessel sank almost before those on board knew what had hap- pened. . DEATH’S TOLL Other terrible tales‘oi the toll that ocean takes of those who do business in great waters include the loss of the White Star steamer Atlantic 01! the coast of Nova Scotis in 1878, when 547 people were drowned, the few persons saved being rescued by fishermen on the clifis; the sinking of the Princess Alice in the Thames in 1878, after a collision, with 700 souls on board; the loss of the Anchor lin- er Utopia ofl Gibraltar in 18-91 by collision, when 574 immigrants were drowned; the sinking of La Bour- goyne, a French ocean liner, in 1898, with a loss of 580 lives, and the burning of the excursion steamer General Slocum, oii New York in 1904, when 1,400 people, including hundreds of children, perished by fire or threw themselves overboard and were drowned. Sixty miles ofi Sable Island, on the morning of Jr‘y 4, 1893, La. Bour- goyne crashed into the British; steam- er Cromartyshire. The big French liner was sunk and of over 600 on board, less than a. hundred survived to tell the tale. The greatest disaster in the record of modern ocean navigation was re- corded Tuesday. The founderingr of the Titanic will make a place in his- tory beside the capsizing of the ROy- al George with “twice four hundred men,” and the loss: of the troopship Birkenhead, one of the most drama- tic events of the nineteenth century, when a. detachment of British sol- diers stood at attention on the deck of the sinking ship, while the boats took of! the women and children aboard. price 54 Kent-st.

As the big ship sank she sucked down everything on the surface near by, but those on- the Cromartyshire saw, with horrible fascination, an eerie event which transpired soon at. ter. When the suction ceased about 200 bodies shot out of the water with a rush, as if the sea were giv- ing up its dead, after swollowing the ship. Awful as was the disaster, it would have been doubly as bad had the French ship struck the Cromarty ten feet further aft. In that case both vessels would have been sunk.
