WASHODTS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. Damage to Railroads and Growing
 Fields by Heavy Rain.

NORTH CONWAY, IN. H., Aug. 1f-A heavy thunder storm set in here yesterday afternoon and continued nearly all night The rain came in a succession of heavy storms and as the ground was already soaked it inundated all the roads. Some seven miles south of here on the Portland & Og- densburg railroad is Black Cat Creek. It passes under the road and through a stone thirty feet high. A train. which left Port land last evening at o'clock proceeded slowly, reaching this creek late in the even ing. Scarcely had the train passed over the culvert when the embankment for a distance of sixty feet gave way to a depth of twenty feet Another washout was encountered near Conway Center, but the rails were braced with ties and the train passed over safely It did not reach here until o'clock this morning. Section hands are at work. The ground is entirely washed away beneath the rails, leaving them suspended in midair. The culvert arch is still standing. Had the washout occurred a few minutes earlier it would have caused frightful accident as the night was very dark and it was impossible to see any distance ahead. No trains have been through from Portland to day. The track will probably be passable tomorrow. Roads in this vicinity are badly washed out and bridges washed away. The damage will reach thousands of dollars. During the storm the barn of the Moat Mountain House in this town was struck and it's interior timbers were stripped. There were ten persons in the barn, but no one was hurt
 PLYMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 14-The river has reached it's highest and is now falling. Trains will be running soon. An immense amount of damage has been done to crops. Grain cut on the farms is nearly washed away. Some fields are completely covered with water.
 CONCORD, Aug. 14.-The terrible torrent of rain which beginning Thursday noon lasted until this morning proceeded diagon- ally across the State from the northwest. It prevailed with the utmost violence, seeming to fall in dense sheets and was accompanied by the most vivid lightning and the heaviest thunder. No loss of life is reported, but the damage to property is great. Many houses were undermined, railways washed out and mill properties damaged heavily. The extent of the flood in the Pemigewassett valley can be appreciated from the fact that in eight hours the Contocook river rose five feet and in ten hours the Pemigewassett rose thir-

The Heu Gate Improvement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-General Newton, chief of engineers, has made his annual re- port on the Hell Gate and East river i'm provement which is also under his charge. He says that no appropriation having been made for the past year work was carried on with the unexpended balance of $36O, ,0OO from the previous year. The money was spent in removing Middle Reef or Flood Rock. For next year an appropriation of $500, 900 is asked to be expended in improv, ing the East river

fenced to Prison For Life.
 PARIS, Aug. 14.-A1bert Pel, the watch maker at Montreuil who poisoned his mother and number of mistresses, was to-day sen fenced to penal servitude for life.. His trial first resulted in condemnation to death, but the second trial was granted on the ground that certain evidence brought out in the progress of the case should have been re- garded as indicating the possible insanity of the murderer. This evidence was to the effect that Pel was monomaniac on the subject of toxicology and that he experimented upon his unfortunate victims with a view to observing the effects of different poisons upon the human system. It was proved that he had his apartments fitted up with crucibles, retorts, blowpipes and other chemical apparatus and that he burned the bodies of his victims in fur mace. On the other hand it was shown that all the women who fell into his clutches had been possessed of considerable amounts of money which Pel obtained possession of and which constituted his principal means of support.

A NIGHT OF PERIL.
Passengers On a Lake steamer Have q
 TerrifYing Experience.

E069en&ef8 On a Lake steamer Have 1
 Terrifying Experience.
 MILWAUKEE, Aug. 14.-The steamer City of Milwaukee, owned by the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railway, which left Grand Haven this morning at 1 o'clock, was lowed into port this afternoon completely disabled. At 8. m. when about forty miles from port her walking beam broke. The connecting shaft followed and later on the greater part of the engine was completely demoralized. The wheels of the steamer had to be chained to check the motion of it. Sixty passengers aroused from sound sleep rushed wildly from their cabins to be met outside by Captain Smallman and his hands to prevent them from approaching the torn down part of the parlor. One lady passenger, Mrs. AS. Wood from St. Paul experienced such fright that her hair turned grey. Life pre- servers were distributed, but meantime the captain had come to the gratifying convic- tion that the hull of the vessel had remained intact and that there was no danger from fire. Had this occurred the outcome of the affair would have been terrible one. At the time a heavy gale was blowing which tossed the steamer around and added to the horror of the scene. A few hours were passed under these circumstances when large steam barge was sighted and signalled for help. Nobody was injured. The actual loss sustained by the company was fully $20,000. The entire machinery must be replaced. A few months ago the company lost the Michigan which was crushed in the ice.
 A Derby Bound Schooner Aground. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The signal corps station at Atlantic City, N. J., reports the two-masted schooner Angie Predmore, Cap tain Longstreet, from Norfolk, Va, to Der by, Ct., lumber laden, struck on bar at a.. | m. to-day. The crew were all saved by the life service. The vessel is full of water and there is little prospect of saving her.
