Disastrous Deluge.

j { MANY VILLAGES IN’ AUSTRIA AND GERMANY DESTROYED —TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEO-

| PLE RENDERED HOMELESS,

Between Christmas and New Year's the note of alarm was sounded in central Europe that the head waters of the Rhine,

‘the Main. the Danube, the Inna, the Mol-)

‘dan, the Vistula, the Odor, the Elbe, the Theiss, and Weser were rising owing to the melting enow in the Alps. There was als a heavy rain fall. Soon afterwards the worst fears were realized. The districts bordering on these streams were inundated, and the floods which overflowed the banks laid the fields, vineyards and dwellings for miles under water, causing more destruction than the deluge a month since. Through-

out upper and Jower Austria and Bohemia the thawing of the deep snow was very sudden, and numerous avalanches fell in

Styria, blocking the railroads. The Dan- ube immediatelly began to rise. The city authorities hastened to take measures to check the flood. Engineers and workmen were busy strengthening and repairing the

‘bridges and dykes. News cf danger came

from hundreds of villages along the banks,

as the tributaries continued to bear immense masses of water into the main stream. By

New Year’s the Danube had overflowed its

right bank, flooding the railway and sta-

tion, and driving the officials into the upper floors of ,offices. The Danube Navi- gation Company had boats and sailors ready, and detachments of pontooners on duty in the Prater. The water flooded the engine which drove the electric light of the Karl Theatre, and the andience had to leave. In some towns deer took refuge among the houses, and quantities of game, roebuck, pheasants, hares and partridges drifted down the river. There is scarcely any abatement yet, the water standing 500 centimetres higher than its normal ‘level in Vienna, 658 in Pesth, and 678 in

j

Pressburg. It is hoped that. if the dykes hold out, the worst is past. Linz and among the

—— have suffered most

larger towns, 75,000. acres of land lying}.

‘south of the latter being entirely sub- imerged. The country folks saved their ‘herds with difficulty, but left their ‘houses to the merey of the waters. The damage to property is serious everywhere, ‘but the loss of life is not as large as might _ be expected, owing to the precautions taken in good time. In Germany, especially in ‘the Rhine provinces, the inundations were ‘more destruetive than for many years. The ‘city of Mayence is in a critical position, the -water having advanced close'to the walls and flooded the railroads. The entire plain be- /tween Mannheim and Worms is one great lake 10 feet deep. Five villeges were de- stroyed, and 250 houses have fallen. In ‘the Reid district, near Worms, 12 villages were nearly destroyed and 600 houses col- ‘lapsed. Ten thousand people are complete- lly destitute. At Mannheim the whole dis- | trict presents a melancholy aspect. Nothing _is visible from the observatory but a sea of water, with a few trees and roofs emerging from the flood. The burgomasters of Worms and Manheim left in hosts, At Heidelberg both lines of railway were de- stroyed. The water has risen to the ceilings in the lower part of thetown. Everywhere ‘churches and public buildings have been ‘opened to shelter the roofless sufferers. 'The public authorities are supplying food from Worms to Bodenheim and Lam- ;pertheim. At Bergatrasse, the Rhine burst ‘through the dams and swept awayhouses and ‘herds. All the streets of Cologne adjacent form an extensive lake. Five hundred ‘people are homeless. From the warehouses the remaining goods are being moved awav. |The police and fire brigade are lying trestle | walks to facilitate the escape of residents ; ‘while boats laden with household effects ‘assist in the work of conveying merchants to their offices, into which they creep through the windows. Below Cologne little towns of the Mulheimor Warden and Warringen are entirely under water. \In Friesenhelm houses have fallen and | furniture is floating about, The inhabi- tants in many cases are prisoners in their |haif submerged dwellings, are threatened with famine. The Rhine is now beginning ‘to fall slowly, after remaining at its highest point for tweuty-four hours. The grand ‘dukes of Hesse and Baden are busying

Nap Cloth, Beaver Cloth, Worsted Cloth, Scotch Tweed, ing themselves with relieving the distress.

‘Berlin and other towns have opened sub- scriptions, but the damage done and the misery caused is so enormous that public and private charity will be taxed to the uttermost. House-to-House collection will

‘be started throughout the empire in aid of}

‘the sufferers of the flooded districts. The ‘Russian government has already granted | £25,000 for their relief, aud the Govern- ‘ment of Hesse has given the same amount. ‘The subscriptions in Prussia have reached £185,000. Large sums are arriving from England and America.

‘columns of the London Times for a year ‘not specified, but presumably 1880. Ac- leording to him the losses by fire in the United States surpass those anywhere else. 'He puts them at $110,000.000, some five millions more than in Russia, which comes next. The English losses are estimated at forty-five millions, the German at thirty, the French at fifteen. The estimate made for the United States, at least, is grossly excessive. It is twenty millions above the figures of the careful Bul'etin, which in- cludes the Canadian losses, while Canada is

the loss per inhabitant was greatest in England, but in proportion to wealth it was greatest in Russia. In the first particular the United States far surpassed England. More confidence may be felt in the figures of premiums, which are less open to errors of ‘‘estimates.” Fifty-eight millions, it appears, were paid in premiums in one year in the United States. England ranks next by the payment of $34,500,090, and Germany comes third with a’ total of $32,- 500,000.

The total premium payments of. the world for this one year were $160,000,000, or, taking the world over, nearly equal to the wages of a million men for an equal length of time. If the aggregate of losses is amazing, so also is the total of premiums. The one should be construed by the other before wasting any pity on the companies who certainly conduct business solely because they find it profitable. In one sense the insurer ought to welcome frres,for the more fires the more business is a truism. And it is equally true that the sense of security consequent upon insurance for a good round sum is responsible for the grow- ing frequewcy of fires. It may not cause the increase, but it certainly peymits what would otherwise be prevented by better fire departments and better construction.

In London this increase is surprising, far surpassing the growth of population. Thus in the decade of 1851-60 the fires averaged yearly 977, or 389 per million in- habitants. In the next decade the fires were 1,430, and the proportion 418 to a million. In 1871-80 the total was 1,795,. and the proportion 465. . And the com- panies received 40 per cent. more than the city paid for the support of. 11,000 police. Yet, at the present moment, Wood street and the Alhambra are already forgotten, and Capt. Shaw, in his appeals for more men and money, is met with an indifference amounting to fatal o ition. © Sub- stantially the same Fire Department may be better and more liberally supported, but their construction is certainly frequently calculated to defeat the fireman and often to invite the flames.

Winnipeg’s Marvellous Develop- : ment.

The Winnipeg Sun of a recent dato gives a detailed statement of Winnipeg’s growth in 1882. From that statemest we learn that the imports—that is the impofts from Great Britain and foreign countries, have increased -from $2,837,431 in 1881 to $8,222,928 in 1882. The imports from the eastern provinces have run up to $12,000,- 000, making a showing of inter-provineial trade which illustrates the great value of the Northwest to the ‘older provinces. The exports are as yet confined to furs, and amount to abeut half a million. But next year this will be all changed, and the export of wheat and flour will be large, The in- land revenue has increased from $131,863 to $185,276. The transactions in real estate have amounted to between ten and twelve millions of dollars, one firm of real estate agents have invested, on aceount of English investors, no less than a quarter of aw*llion of dollars. The building operations dur- ing the year have reached the large figure of $4,447,712. The post fice figures are simply marvellous. The emount of money orders paid reached $650,000, against $215,213 in Toronto and $183,661 in Montreal, while the post cffice has reached the position of third in the do- minion in point of revenue, the sale of stamps amounting to $70,000, against $53,- 139 in Hamilton, which comes next, No less than 44,000 immigrants arrived during the season, bringing with them it is es- timated, not less than $10 000,000; and the picture drawn by the late Lord Beacons- field is beginning to be in some measure realized, no less than 8,500 citizens of the United States having settled in Manitoha and the Northwest. The population of the city has ina:essed from 9,000 in 1881, to 25,000 at the close of 1882; the assessed value of propriety has increased from nine millions to thirty millions of dol« lars, and it is estimated that next year it will run up to forty-five millions. The deposits in the Government savings banks increased from $310,129 in 1881 to $1,018,- 051 in 1882. In fact, in every department there has been an expansion such as no one could haye anticipated, at least within 3» short a period, for the rapid growth may be said to have taken its start only within the last two years.

Remarkable Occurrence. ‘“ BUT MAY BE RELIED UPON AS

TRUE IN EVERY PARTICULAR.”

Gience®, Minn., Jan. 13, 1883. Ignatez Sabhk kept wasting away in flesh while his stomach was becoming swollen and almost continually disturbed. This continued until yesterday evening, when he attended a dancing party near Silver Lake, and drauk freely of beer, this seeming to agree with and relieve him, This morning he felt much worse, and started alone for Koniska, where he was to meet a team which was to bring him to Glencoe to con- - sult a physician. Before reaching Koniska , he became very sick and was seized with vomiting, during which there was throwa from his stomach a full-sized frog, three to four inches long, alive and able to hop a few inches. Over- come with weakness and fright the. fellow fainted away, and, coming to himself shortly after, he found the frog frozen and dead. He left the animal there and made out to reach a house near by, where he wes kindly cared for. The accuracy of this story is vouched for by others beside Mr. Sablik, When the writer saw him he showed traces of suffering, but said he was rapidly regaining his health. He thinks he swallowed it while drinking from an almost stagnant marsh during haying time. This seems a reasonable supposition, and in that case the frog lived in his stomach for at least six months. It was a very remark-
