FROM our regular eore.pondentl

PHnApELrHIA, Sunday, March Is, 1916.
The afternoon mail from Harrisbursh has lust
arrived. As | anticipated, the recent heavy SHOWS
and rains have resulted In a fearful freshet. At
Hsrisburgh the old bridge was swept away by
the sudden and unprecedented rise In the river
This cut soft the only link Of communication be-
tween Harrisburgh and the Cumberland railway,
which consects with the turnpike between Cham
bersburg and Pttsburg, and over whish most Of the
western travel passes. Ii is also ascertained hatthe
fine bridge at Duncans island has been carried away
by the food. This news, if true--and il comes in a
shape that do not queston-is bad for our public
works, and have no doubt shall hear of fearful
havoc made by the food on our line Of canal. The
railroad from Harisburgh TO Middletown, distance
nine miles, most Of il under water and the in
habitants Of Columbia were boating in the lower
part Of the town from house to house. The Sus-
quehansa is said to be higher than it has been in
wenty years.

Extract from the article published by the
Balance Dock Company.

tons, but weighs only l,l0O. The company en-
ployed in their efforts to raise her out OF the water,
four ofthese sections estimated at 300 tons each and
enc Of $50 tons, making ESQ tons, and without
being able TO bring the dock to the surface, as we
are. fully prepared to prove. They then resorted
to their end Aoss or equilibrium tanks, they may

Now ct us refer back to the statement Of the lat
ter, quoted above, and see what the owners Of the
sectional dock really do claim:
1--WE have in our dock 8 sections, Of which
have clear lifting capacity Of 300 tons each, and
one Of 45O tons, making 1850 tons over and above
the weight the part Of the dock above water; and
to obtain this power it would be necessary to inn
merse but small portion Of the end-hoats."
Twenty-Five hundred and fly tons is therefore
the whole amount Of power claimed by the owners
Of the sectional dock Nor have they, or any Of
them, under any circumstances, nor IN any state
ment publication claimed more We can see no
other object which the Balancedock Company
could have in view in estimating the lifting power Of
the sectional dock at so much more than the owners
claim for it, than to show deficiency in It's pract-
cal operation in raising the steamship Great Britain
and the packet-ship Henry Clay. They make these
false statements in relation to the lifting capacity Of
the sectional dock in order to impress the public
and government with the conviction that such de.
hciency would exist in the sectional dock when
applied to the purposes Of the navy. Their whole
argument on this point being founded on false pre-
misses, however, becomes void and worthless. The
fact is that the sectional dock will liz what it's
owners claim for il; and any statement to the con-
trary is false.
OF the eight sections Of which the sectional dock
consists, seven contain each two main tanks with an
aggregate lifting power Of 270 tons, and when in
operation the two end floats attached to each sec
ton being submerged TO the extent Of Is tons each
u viii be seen that each Of the seven sections has
lifting power Of 300 tons. The greatest lifting
power Of these end floats when entirely submerged
does not much exceed 30 tons exclusive Of their
own weight, bat they are not intended ever TO be
submerged to exceed rs tons each. The eighth sec
ton has one main tank divided in the centre with
lifting power Of 400 TONS 10 which add that of the
two end floats, 20 tons, and we have $50 tons. The

Condemnation Of the Balance dock b,
NAVY Commissioners.

Extract from the report Of the Navy Commission

2Sth Congress, page 10:
''To the enlarged plan Of Gilbert's caisson dock
for government use, the objections are, that il is
structure Of most unwieldy size, covering, as the
plan does, nearly half acre of surface. IL by
any accident it should be grounded on a shoa
sunken wreck, or pier, its own weight might be it's
destruction And in reference to the effect of winds
and currents such a surface, it must be exposed
to the action of one Of these and sometimes to both
The plan submitted is defective. The iron trussed
frames have not the strength for ship Of the line
and the combination with wood does not remove
the defecG for the iron combined in this way, be-
ing loaded beyond its strength, might break, when,
from the superior elasticity Of the wood, it had
borne but small portion Of the burden; and the
rupture Of the iron would in that case, leave the
wood to bear the weight alone, and be thus broken
in detail. The bottom cannot be examined or re-
paired Marine shells would form which il would
be difficult to remove; and in this state the sinking
of the dock in the proposed basin might be hazard.
