French Broad river front in the
city have been swept away.
. Men rowed boats through the
passenger station and about houses
and business offices, rescuing those
marooned.
Smith Pearson and many other
bridges pre gone. The Southern
has suffered enormously.
All railway traffic has been can
celled, bridges are washed away,
the ends of the Swannanoa tunel
caved in, there are great landslides
on Saluda mountain.
Many loaded freight cars on the
Asheville yards were carried down
stream by the terrifitf force of the
waters, of which were not seen
here even during the - disastrous
flood of 1876.
Kanuga and other lakes in Hen
derson and perhaps other counties
add their waters to the terrible
flood, when the dams break and it
is reported that some lives were
lost in Henderson. It is - hard to
confirm reports with wires down
and traffic of all kinds interrupted,
but it is stated that all of Marshall
has been carried down stream with
the exception of the Madison coun
ty jail.
Hot Springs and the hotel there,
it is feared, Jias equally suffered.
The Asheville papers are hoping
to print four page, papers tomor
