tao Gap on Thursday evening show that
the water commenced rising about eight
o'clock in Beaver creek, one mile this

Four bodies have so far been recovered.
The water covered space Of forty miles
wide, and subsidized within two hours af-
ter the rise. Fragments of the wagons,
etc., were seen three to five miles from
the scene Of the disaster. All the creeks
around the hills are unusually high.

TO FORT DELAWARE

THE ST. PETERS CHURCH EXCURSION
TODAY. t.
The steamer John A. Warner left
French street wharf shortly after 8
O'Clock this morning, with the excursion
of st. PEERS Catholic church for Fort
Delaware. About 675 persons were on
board, all of whom seemed bent on en-
joying themselves. The ride down was
very pleasant one and added to by the
cool and refreshing breeze. Du ing the
trip, dancing was INDUCED by many of
the young folks, the music being furnish
ed by Prof. Ritchie's band of five pieces
John F. Gibbons was master of ceremo-
MES !; the floor manager wos Frank Gra-
ham, assisted by Mark Ryan and Charles
Monaghan.
The fort was reached al 9:3O o'clock
and the excursionists disembarked and
dispersed over the island. Free access
was granted them to the fort and much
pleasure was afforded the visitors in
passing through the massive structure
and examining the various amunitions
and agents of war.
The fort looks far different from what
1t did IL years ago. A decade of peace
has wrought wonderous changes. Then
the noise of military regulations re-
sounded through the vaults. Now there
is studied and continued silence. There
is not soldier about the whole place
and it is in charge of several families
who live there and take care of it. The
storm last October did much damage
and several houses were torn down anC
washed away.
