Failure Of New Works Water supply.

The water-famiae so long predicated
in New York City, and secuted by its
people as a roorback, has come upon
them. The city has, as everybody
who took the trouble to think about
1t fsresaw, outgrown the Croton water
supply. All summer the head was
insufficient toi supply residences in the
more elevated portions of the city for
more than a few hours out of twenty
four. The rains that it was hoped
would swell the volume of the Croton
River haven't come. and the reservoir
is now drained so low that the Grand
Jurors of the city. and country have
felt il their duty to urge the authori-
ties ''to restrict the waste and use,
even to the watering of the streets
and its continuous flow in basins"
They also "call upon our fellow-citi.
zens of all classes, in their own de

ing in combustible quarter, their in.
terests, in common with all would be
jeopardized." Upon the like grounds,
the Police Board has isued strict oders
to all roundsmen to exercise "s strict
surveillance in their respective
precincts over the use of the
Croton water, to stop sidewalk and
street washing with hose also, waste
in stables, hotels, dining-rooms,
saloons, water-closets, etc; and TO
report promptly such persons as are
wasteful or extravagant, that their
supply may be cut off, Withal the
supply is still insufficient. 1t is, too,
the opinion of many engineers that,
in the four years which, according to
the estimates, would be required to
build additional reservoirs, the popula-
ton will have increased beyond the
utmost supply that can be darwin frem

LiQuefaetIon of St. Januarius' Blood.

The correspondent of an English
Roman Catholic paper at Naples says
of the miraculous liqlefaction Of the
blood of st. Januarius:
You cannot imagine the cries and
the almost shrieks and screams Of the
people that were going on all this
time. And when the priest held it up
and cried out, ut is hard" they be-
gan to weep and wall on all sides in
the true Neapolitan style. The re-
liquary is an old-fashioned silver one,
of an oval shape, surmounted bv sill
yer cross about four or five inches
long, by which the priest holds it.
Thick glass is let into the sides, so that
you see the interior plainly when held
up to the light and to show you more
clearly the bottles inside priest holds
a small lighted taper behind, by aid of
which you see two small tampullm,
or cruets, the large one containing
about an ounce and half of some OBJ
scure, CONCEALED substance of brown
ish tint, not unlike to that of clotted
blood when it has been exposed long
time to the air. 1t is quite hard, for
the priest reverses the reliquary, and
not the slightest motion is visible In
the dark matter which fills about two
thirds of the phial. Both bottles ap-
peared to be Theoretically sealed. The
priest laid the reliquary down on the
altar. He had taken it all round, had
shown it to the many kneeling there,
when he once more lowered it and
put it before my eyes. was not GER
tain, but it seemed to me that as he
held the reliquary upside down the
straight line which was formed across
the bottle was breaking on one side,
and that the substance commenced to
move slowly. l am sure my excited
face and the paleness 1 felt coming
over me must have shown the canon
what had happened. Yes, there it was.

Terrible Railroad Accident
: s PILLSBCRY,
Governor.

A fearful accident on the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railway, occurred at
a small station known as Lehigh Summit, on
the PacOnomo mountains, twenty miles from
Scranton. The regular evening train TO New
York and Philadelphia, consisting OF seven
zen coaches, drawn by three engines, had
about 200 passengers on board, principally
bound for the Centennial exhibition. The
train, it appears was two hours behind time,
and reaching summit shortly alter s o'clock,
stopped to take water irom the tank. While
there heavy coal train, drawn by three en-
gines, ran into the rear Of the passenger
train, telescoping twOOf the cars through and
through and breaking FIVE others. The scenes
that ensued were heartrending, although, by
most miraculous circumstance, the number
Of killed we're but few. In all nine killed
outright and twenty-five severely injured.
The wounded we're conveyed to the GCulds-
bOrO Hotel, where corps Of surgeons from
Scranton attended. Mr. Seymour, Mr.. Gray,
Mrs. DOwall and Mrs. Pierce, are not expected
TO recover. A passenger car caught fire in
the wreck and was consumed on the track.
The dead were conveyed to Scranton. This
morning at ? o'clock the passengers on the
wrecked train were transferred to special
train and proceeded on their journey AT
midnight the scenes and incidents connect
ed with the collision were described as heart
rending in the extreme.

A Kentnckv FIood

a correspondent at Orleans, Orange
county, on the line of the Louisville, New Al
baIy Il Chicago railway, sends particulars OF
fearful rain storm which took place in that
region, commencing Saturday morning and
lasting till daylight Monday morning. The
rain was perfect flood, the water not pour
ing down as usual, in drops, but in perfect
heets. The ground resembled lake, the
water having poured upon the town until
half the place was flooded. Water rose as
high as the window tops, and as yet has fallen
bat little. In addition TO tie destruction OF
household goods, barns, stables, etc, large
lots Of cattle, horses, hogs and other animals
were drowned. Lost River is extraordinarily
high. The bridge over this river between
Orleans and PaOli is swept away. This was
the bridge on which Packard and Lungett
were hanged by vigilantes several years ago.
At the present time it is impossible to COM
pute the damage which the fleod has Occa-
stoned along the bottoms of Lost River, but
it viii be unusually heavy-probably 100000
amount.

Price Of Food in Old Times.

From the English Magazine.
Amid the never-ending comments on
the high price of provisions, it is diff
ficult for us to realize the fact that
time existed in Britain history when
wheat, as food for 100 for whole day,
was worth only shilling, and the
average price of sheep four pence. In
the reign of Henry I. the price of wine
was raised to six pence quart for red
and eight pence quart for white, in
order that the sellers might be able to
live b. it. When wheat was at six
snillings a quart (eight bushels), the
farthing loaf was to be equal in weight
to twenty-four ounces if made Of the
" hole grain. and to sixteen ounces if
consisting solely of white. And when
wheat was only one shilling and six
pence per quart, as it sometimes was,
the farthing white loaf was to contain
sixty-four ounces, and the whole grain
ninety-six. Think of purchasing a six
pound loaf of good wheaton bread for
a farthing In the nineteenth year of
the reign of Edward l., the price of
provisions of the City of London was
fixed by the Common Council at tar
if by which two pullets were sold at
three half-pence, a partridge or two
woodcocks for the same, while fat
lamb was to be six pence from Christ
mas to Shorvetide, and the rest of the
year four pence. In the fourteenth
century Parliament fixed the price of a
fat OK at forty-eight shillings, a shorn
sheep at five shillings, two dozen eggs
at three pence, and the best wine at
twenty shillings per tun. An act of
Parliament, passed in 1888, settled the
value of beef and pork at half-penny
per pound, and veal at three farthings.

Closing of the Centennial.

At an early hour ON the 10th the
crowds began to enter the Centennial grounds
to witness the closing ceremonies. At the
time OF beginning the ceremonies, fully l0O,O 900
people were inside the enclosure. Shortly be-
fore o'clock President Grant, escorted by
General Hawley, assembled to the platform, fol-
lowed by the centennial commissioners, the
board Of finance, foreign commissioners and
invited guests. After the excitement Of the
multitude, occasioned by the presence of Pres
ident Grant had subsidoi, the orchestra, I'M
der the direction of Theodore Thomas, per-
formed Wagner's Inauguration march, COM
posed for the opening exercises on the 10th OF
MAY last At its conclusion, Rev. James A.
Russ offered up PRAYER. The chorus, accom-
panied by the orchestra, then sang choral.

Another War RumOr.

4 cable special to the New York
Herald SAYS the Turkish fleet was about TO en-
ter the Black Sea and will take the position of
Sicope and Trebizan, both of which Black Sea
ports have been recently fortified. II this oc-
ours, the histOry'of 1913 may be rep ated, for
it viii lie remembered il was off Sicope nat the
Turkish vessels were destroyed by the
Russian fectundCr Nakemoff, with a
loss to the Turks Of 1900 men
This act on the part OF Russia made
the Crimean war inevitable. The adj
vance Of a Turkish fleet into the Black Sea
may fire the mine which all Europe isshudder-
ing to see exploded. Another special from the
Heralds correspondent at Vienna declares
that Servia has been rendered 10000 breech
leaders for her militia by the Grand Duke
Michael Constantine, eommandingthe Russian
forces in Bessarabia Where the men will be
found who are to use those arms remains to be

A Blow to Woman's Hopes.

WoMAN's cause has finally received
a fatal blow. Chief Justice White
makes a decision against the plea of
Belva Lockwood, femenine practic-
Toner in the Washington courts, for
privilege to plead in the supreme court.
Miss Lockwood has won great many
complicated suits during her career,
and makes as imposing an appearance
in court as the best of the district law
Iyers. Just why lawyer is disbarred
from the supreme bench, who prac-
tees acceptably in other courts, does
not appear plain to the lay mind. 1t
may be rational enough to deny women
the right to vote, though, as yet, no
one has given rational and conclu-
sive definition Of the causes which
render woman suffrage Incompatible
with the rights specifically guaranteed
By the constitution. To the lay mind
it looks very much as though Judge
White had made decision altogether
inconsistent with the theory of the
American constitution. which has new
er been known to refuse women the.
protection guaranteed to men, nor re
leases her from the obligation of taxa
ton, which implies the same rights as
her fellow-voter. There was but one
Immunity accorded woman as recon-
pense for the denial of the right of
equal effort with mankind, that is liza
'bility to military duty,-the least fire.
quent but the most ardaous put up
on the male citizen. 1t would have
been forgiven Judge White had he
taken the most liberal construction of
the law and given woman the right of
earning her bread in any fashion which
her tastes or her talents fitted her for.
1t is not unlikely that the chief justice
will hear from the women of America
when this curious decision is general
ly realized.
