 V FLOODS IN THE WEST. Appalllax IlSMrt«r at LondoBâ€" 'Destmo- tlva Bistng of tiM Blvar Ttuunesâ€" Calamitons Xku of Ufe and Property. A fierce thunderstorm raged at Ijondon Tuesday last, which continuea until 2. 30 next morning. At this hour people who were on the watch became uneasy, as the water in the river Thames began to nse rapidly, and in leas than one hour it had risen fully five feet. The inhabitants of London West were now aroused, and as the water in the north branch of the river came thundering down TEKROB AND DISMAY appeared to seize hold of them, and much time was lost before systematic relief corps were organized. The scene from Blackfriars bridge baffles description. Looking across the river, what a few hours before were the tidy streets of London West is now nothing but a vast sheet of water, relieved here aad there by the roof of a house or the top of a tree. The view from the top of the Court House is that of a lake a mile across in each direction in which stand drzans of trees and houses. The branchis of the trees hnng in the yellow water and the loofs of the houses aud upper part ot their walls show abcve it. The suiface of the lake is strewn with boards, timbers, and debris of all kinds. The whole of Kensington makes part of the lake. No sign ot life is visible in the doom- ed village, except the men in ROW BOATS PASSING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE. The houses which are left standing are half submerged, while several stand in the middle of the stream, where they floated aud strand- ed in the early morning. In many iustanccs lamilies were roused from their slumbers too late to reach dry land, and took refuge on the top of their cottages. On the hill top to the west many have sought safety from the raging torrents. Blackfriars street, which has heretofore been secure from floods, was from three to four feet under water, and the current that rush- ed down the cross streets was something tsrrific. A number of persons have been drowned, and an immense amount of property destroy- ed. Dan Collins, who barely escaped with his life, lost almost everything he had in the world. His ice houses, containing over five thousand tons of ice, went down with the flood, as did his horses, waggons, barn, and stables. He estimates his loss at $10,000. :Mrs. J. W. Reeves, of London West, who narrowly escaped with her children, had been aroused as the water was just about carrying off her house. Her husband was absent. Placing one child on her back, one uuder each arm, aid with the fourth ciing- iag to her diess, she made her way through ilie surging waters and reached the bank as her hoube was carried off and smashed to pieces by the bridge before her eyes. " I SA\'£D THE CHILDREN " was her simple sta ement. In the next house to Mrs. Reeve's, lived Mr. Onn, an iinglish- mxu, not long out, and here all were rescued save one little girl, whose tiny hand was seen abjve tlie surface of the river aa the house was carried away. The irou bridge at Ox-foni street, near the brewery, whic.i cost S13,00C, was wrecked early in the day. A couple of emplojees at the brewery named Kirkpatrick and Lud- w iug had a narrow escape from dr-owning w hiie working heroically to save some child- ren. At \Vinnett's Flats, just ovrr Clarke's B idge, the destruction was most complete. Eveiy house on B idge street is f i i of water. Mr. Samuel Burt loses a house and barn Mr. Stephen Merritt's house and barn top- pled over the old Holmes' homestead was swept away, and Joseph Hackett and Charies Cjle both lofe their homes. Mr. James Spackman, of London West, was warned of the danger, but thinking that the water would not rise any higher remained in his house. In a few minutes, however, the house swayed from side to side and broke loose from its fastenings. He made a dash for the window, but too late. One wild shriek burst forth on the morning air and the household were HURRIED TO THEIR DOO.M. The family cons sted of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Spackman and a little boy o' some three years of age. Among the many rescued was a Mr. Hop- kins, of Kensington, London West; He first handed his wife into the boat, and then essayed to jump in himself. "Hold off, man," roared tie boatnian. Park, 'the boat won't C-irry us all we'll come back for you in a moment." But the man, overcome with terror, jumped into the frail skiff, which instantly upset, hurling the boatman, the woman, and the man into the river. Park and Hopkins clung to the boat, but the poor wife was su' ^^ t away to her doom. Perhaps the greatest sufiFerers by the flood are the family of Mr. J. F. Lacey, a trustee of the London West School. Three of them were drowned and four escaped. Mr. Lacey's nephew says :â€"" It was about 3 o'clock when we first noticed the water beginning to rise, but didn't think it dangerous until half an hour later. Then a house near by PITCHED HEAVILY OVER OX OURS, and we thought ours would go too. We then decided to make for high land. The water in the street was four feet deep, with a very swift current. Mr. Lacey himself went first and his daughter May, then I took Annie, and next came l'lora, aged eleven, Frances, aged seven, Harry, ten, and Fred, twenty- two. The last Jour were all carried away. The first to go was one of the girls. She went back of the others. They stood the shock for a moment, and then one after an- other they gave out. Fred was the last. Mr. Lacey and I got to safe ground with Mary and Annie with great difiiculty, hang- ing on to posts and fences as best we could. I tell yen it was something terrible." Frances was picked up by a raft in the afternoon and conveyed to the bereaved parents. Miss Wright, wlio lived next Kensington Bridge and whose house was the first carried away, was rescued by Mr. P. Delaney who lives near the Cove. It is said that the fright she received has turned her into a raving maniac. Oneof the saddest incidents connected with the disaster occurred on Paul street. A poor woman was confined the previous night, and early in the morning the infant died and the mother had to be borne to the school-house, which, owing to its high situation, offered an available retreat. Here kind friends did all that was possible under the unfortunate circumstances for the afilicted woman. Among the narrow escapes may be men- tioned that of Miss WriRht. The tide had almost reachea its height and several London West houses were floating out on the nver. All the inmates had been warned andaU tod escaped except one young lady, Miss Wright, who persisted in remaining within doo" The house, as it ctcadied itself in the floo^l, KEPT ITS UPRIGHT POSITIOK. Miss Wjight did not scream nor did she appear to have lost her presence of mind. As the strange vessel passed Dundaa street Mr. McLean, standing on the walk, exclaim- ed "Gracious heavens, there's a woman in that house and she has a lamp m her hand, and such appeared to be the case. Miss Wright was seen opposite one of the windows with a lighted lamp. " Nothing can save her," exclaimed another but fortunately in her case the house drifted in to the shore near Reeve Bartram's, and Miss Wright was rescued from her perilous position. The damaee done to property will reach fully S503,000, while the loss of life cannot at present be estimated. The pumping- house at Sprinkbank fell in the afternoon with a crash, but as there is steam power to attach, this will have no effect on the city's water, suppiy. The people who suffered most are of the working class, and in some cases everthing thev possissed was swept away. The Great Western division of the Grand Irunk railway is altogether blocked wdth the exception of the London and Port Stanley railway. TWO fiP.\KS OF THE WAUBUXO BBIDGE about twelve miles east of the city are wash- ed away, and this toeether with the condi- tion of the bridgas west of the city renders traffic on the main line impossible. There is also a washout at Thomdale, on the St. Mary's branch. An immense pile of debris is piled against the cove and Victoria brieves and a house is lodged against the latter. The city has been in darkness owing to the submerging of the Gas Works. The hotels and printing offices have been lit with coal oil lamps and tallow dips. At a meeting of citizsns §715 was subscrib- ed for the relief of the sufferers by the flood, and committees were appointed to solicit additional subscriptions. Up to midnight over 100 persons reported at the Central police station, and were billetted at the dif- ferent hotels. The water is now falling as rapidly as it ros3, and the worst of the disaster is believed to have passed. The loss of life, so far as known, is as fol- lows â€" Mrs. Hopkins, Kensington three children of Mr. R. F.

I EXCHANGE BANK OF CANADA Is tbe Limit of Safety In Loading Tbcm Reached The Nautical Magazine remarks that there is one thing that we know, or should have learned from the vast experience, perhaps, as gloomy and unsatisfactory as it has been rash â€" that the majority of " cargo steamers, " as at present constructed and sent to sea, have already â€" long since â€" reached the limit of safety in loading if, indeed, many of them have not got much beyond it. If this be not so, how are we to account for the great number of such vessels which annually disappear There is, surely, unmistakable evidence to prove that something is wrong somewhere for many of them are compar- atively new ships. After two long centuries of experience of all kinds of ships, and over all seas, a vanished school of able and sagacious seamen laid it down that a good ship, fairly loaded and ably commanded, will live in any storm â€" excepting, perhaps, cyclones and hurricanes, and the accidents which they engender she positively can not sink, but is as certain to ride over those great rolling mountains of seething water as a well built church is of standing on its foundation. It is a great mistake to suppose, as some ship-builders really do, that because a ship, is big, no heavy seas will ever run on board in consequence of this fallacy, they take all manner of liberties in designs and constructions. It is difficult to believe there are such opinions in such quarters, yet it is so, notwithstanding. Thesre is, doubtless, less science imported into ship building now than in former times, when iron for such work was a novelty, and when the worthy blacksmith, though cccupying an indisput- able position, played only second fiddle in the symphony but the merest rivetter should understand that the long, low steamers, which are now turned out of our building- yards, are the wettest and, in too many cases, the most dangerous ships which ever put to sea. A ereat ocean wave, however high or fast it may run, will lift up bodily any small ship or boat, but not so some four hundred-footer and, as a matter of course, if it can not lift, must run over some part of her. Allowing such a wave to run at thirty- five miles an hour, and a great part of its crest, say twenty-five tons of water, to over- whelm her decks, we have at once a force equal to the charge of a locomotive against everything in the shape of an obstruction to its course. Y'et it is common to see such ships putting to sea with all kinds of trumpery and feeble fittings â€" such as obtained in high- sided ships of fifty years back â€" feeble, it should be said, in relation to the amount of freeboard or bad weather to be encountered, and afterward doleful accounts in the news- papers about ' ' terrific weather and fearful damage." » »»^ The Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean Railway Company is one of the greatest monopolies in the world. It gets all the traffic overlamd from the south through France. The local trade of Lyons and Mar- seilles is at its mercy. By a new bargain with the Government the company is to build 600 miles of railway for the State, and is to carry the new roads until they pay, after which it is to give up two-thirds of the total profits. Among the pictures lately sold by the Marquis of Lansdowne to Mr. Mackey is the famous Rembrandt portrait purchased by the grandfather of its late owner, which has always been regarded as one of the choicest gems in the Bowood gallery. Complaint is made that before allowing it to go to America Lord Lonsdowne had not given the refusal of it to the National Gallery. Tbe Sttaago Contnuts the Oldest Ameri- can City snows. At an early day of the Sjmta Fe tertio- nullennial celebration the crowd prcwed for- ward into the street while the Mescalenje Apaches, three abreast, ,Ia«ed ^y. Theur frames and muscles would have debghtedan athleteâ€" heavy, massive heads with strong, virile features set firmly on giant frames. Their brawny chests stood out almcsistraight frcm robust ehoulders, and they came glid- ing along with a firm but noiseless step, makin? no dust in a street that a single gust of wind would have beclouded. Red and black pigment lay in broad strips across their copper- colored faces. The faces of nearly all of them were heavily reddenea. A few had painted black and red patches on their cheeks, heightening the effect with a border of the contrasting colors. Their hats were but bands covered with white beads and plentifully plumed. The moguls of the tribe wore ear pendants of polished bone as long as a finger, with chains attached to them, on which ornaments were strung. Their dress was of tight-fitting buckskin, decorated with strips of fur and bright leather. They carried each a spear reaching above their heads. Several children, who attend the Indian school at Albuquerque, chubby little fellows with gray suits and cadet caps, marched man- fully behind the sinew ot the tribe and in the immediate charge of a sunblacked patriarch with a bone tube from which he blew at frequent intervals a half dozen notes suggestive of the clarionet, but most un- earthly. The rear of the party was brought up by an ear-ringed whiie scout with a full cart- ridge belt exposed and the tribe's dwarf in the toggery of the giants and carrying be- sides a circular shield, with a painted centre like a bull's eye and a whitish sheepskin body. The dwarf's face was seamed with age as though he was brought along to show that other things besides Santa Fe might be old and little. The Zuni Indians followed the Apaches in the general procession. It was a bitter dose for the Zunis to take, for the two tribes are not friendly, the Ztmis frowning on the no- madic mountain life that has made the Apa- ches of giant frame but of brains that in years past have turned only to the hunt and war path. The physical contrast between the two tribes was striking, the Zunis, many of them stoop-shouldered and shuffling alone in duck leggings and dark, tight- ^tting shirts, but with no facial or other decora- tions, and their long, straggling hair falling to their sunken breasts and hollow backs. With them marched their young white leader, Lieut. Frank Gushing, in a neat gray suit and broad-brimmed straw hat and carrying at his side a leather pouch, the only mark, except his long ha'r, that singled him out as one of the tribe. Behind the Zunis the dust rose from the tramping of Maj. Fountain's brown-skinned rangers, wearing strav/ hats whose brims a pair of long arms could hardly span, and with yellow facings on their blue shirts. Carbines were hung across their saddles and ugly-looking small weapons dangled from their belts. There was about their fashion of striding a horse a suggestion, of swagger and readiness for hot business â€" at short range. This was the crowd that organized to clean out the cattle thieves near the Mexican border, a task which they were splendidly successful in. The exercises ended with the opening of the several buildings containing exhibits, after which the various organizations sought their quarters, the Zunis to bend over their industries that they have brought with them, and the Apache to stretch their huge limbs in the wigwams or bare their parched breasts to the mountain breezs, until the advancing day brought within the fates a caravan of roulette and spinning enny worthies, around whom the painted giants clustered wit much satisfaction. The afternoon was signalized by the arrival of the Governor of San Juan Pue- blos, accompanied by his squaw and pap- oose. They rode into town on a pair of burros, the squaw carrying the papoose on one arm and a whip for the donkey, of which she was not sparing, in the other hand. From the Governor's saddle hung two canvas bags of provisions. They were dressed in costume befitting their rant, the Governoress wearing a scarlet dress and ample hat of straw and the Governor's leg- gins being nearly covered by a white shirt that would have held two of him. This and a plug hat brushed the wrong way, put his dignity to a severe test, but he passed through the streets without a mishap and drove in at the exposition gates like a conqueror. Santa Fe (N.M.) Correspondent Denver News. ^n I t 11^ A Lawn TAnnls Player. A strcrtl on Washington Heights revealed to a correspondent a fashionable girl fashion- ably playing lawn tennis. She had more than the average height of her sex, and was symmetrically perfect. Her figure was en- cased in what he supposed was a jersey bodice. At all events the fabric was elastic, woven, and seamless. In his opinion there was no corset under it, else she could not possibly have been so supple, nor would every movement of the muscles below her shoulder blades have been visible. He does not like to think that she was consciously on exhibition, and that her poses and action were studiously careless, for she made too fine a picture to lack honesty. Women may like to know that her skirt was short, strip- ed, and scant that her stockings were black that her shoes were alligator skin, cut low and that, aa to her hat, their fancy must construct it out of the bare assertion that it was big, and eo eccentric in shape that no architect could give an idea of it oa paper without at least a hundred cross-s'c- tion views.

A satisfactory business has been done dur- ing the year. The result of the operations is clearly shown in the profit and loss state- ment herein :â€" ',,«-« t^n The rest has been mcreased by $00,000, and is now §300,000.

Ample provision has been made for rebate on current discounts and accrued interest on deposits, the sum of §47,000 being re- served therefor. Four quarterly dividends of two per cent, each have baen paid during the year. The Board regret to have to report the loss of the services of Mr. M. H.

Tfie P.csident then said Gentlemen, I- think you will find the statement very clear and concise it shows the exact position of the bank. Our past due loans, secured, which were §il,OO0 last year, have been re- duced to §25,676.20, and the past due loans, not secured, have been completely written off, though there may possibly be a return from that item. During the year the Direc- tors of the bank considered it advantag'eous to dispone of two of the branches in Ontario â€"one at Aylmer and the other at Park Hill â€" both of which have been disposed of on satisfactory terms, the Park Hill branch to our agent there and the Aylmer branch to the Molson's Bank. The principal rea- son for disposing of the above namsd agen- cies is, that we found we could use our capi- tal more advantageously at the head office. As the report refers to the loss of the ser- vices of our late President, Mr. M. H. Gault, M. P., I may say that we are very glad to see him here to-day in renewed health and vigor, and I have no doubt that, if he thought at the time that his health would be again reitdred, he would have remained 05 the Board I have nothing further to add, gentlemen, and if anyone has any ques- tions to ask, I ihaU be very happy to an- swer them. I oeg to move, therefore, thp adoption of the report of the Directors. Mr. Da Martignyâ€" What interest do you pay on the mortgage of §50,000? The Presidentâ€" Five and a half per cent. Mr. G. B. Crampâ€" Is that a new mort- gage? _The Presidentâ€" No it is the continuation of the old Bailleur de Fond, or balance of the original purchase money, on which we were formerly paying 7 per cent., but which is now reduced to 5 J per cent, •i. ^^" Pi*"P -Perhaps you can explain the Item of $17,000 reserved for interests on de- Fk'^r V-,V*^"y .1° y°' include that among the liabilities, if the interests on deposits is paid up *^ The President-That amount was credit- ed to reserve interest at the end of June, but since then it has been credited to the in- dividual accounts. • 'â- ' "^^Pâ€" I *«e, also, that there is an increase of $5,000 in the bank premises.
