b eneficent Influence, but it has to do
much more. 81 TO raise the river one foot
means not only to add the velume of one
foot in depth over its previous surface,
but it mea rs that all the broadenings Of
its course, all intermediate lakes and
connecting ponds must be raised to the
same height, while enough water must
be furnished to cover the greater width
70 which the stream will spread after
such an addition to its volume. 1t is
therefore that advance effects are 4elt but
slowly and that the riverina be expect
ed tofkeep on rising weeks after its first
increment hom the reservoirs has been
received. But even now the testim ony is
satisfactory For the first three weeks
ins,keugnstthe Mississippi fell steadily,
its lEiepi aEies .At that date ihe
impounded water began to reach ST.
Paul, and from that time. although there
wvs no increase Of rainfall, the depth OF
! water in the channel held its own 1t is
estimated that the amount of fall
prevented. which is equivalent, of course,
to raising the river from a lower to a
higher stage, is about foot. When we
consider that this is the work Of the few
dams now in operation, and that it is not
the full measure Of what they can do, but
| their first answer to the test of practical
and moderate experiment, the efficacy OF
tic reservoir system appears 10 have been
we'll established. All Interested in the
upper river may hail the result with
satisfaction, as may the engineers who
have backed the work not only with
energy and intelligent direction, but with
all uuwavcring and contagious faith.

WORSE AND WORSE.

The Recent English Colliery Disaster
Worse In Its Loss of Life Than at First
Reported.
LONDON, June 22.-The disaster in the
Pendlebury colliery, near Manchester,
proves to have been even more terrible
than was at first reported. The number
of miners now known to have been killed
is l6S, and many more are still unac-
counted for. This disaster and the re.
cent one at the Philadelphia colliery, near
Durham, are more than usually severe in
the hardships they inhict on the
survivors, on account of the pre-
vailing poverty caused by scarcity
of work for several months through
out the coal and iron country. The
GOLFERS families have already teen
pinched to the verge of despair, but
there is greater misery ahead for many.
The number of wage.earners now killed
represents fully 500 widows and orphans.
Not one in fifty has shilling saved, their
neighbors are equally poor, and the loss
of husband aud father leaves to many OF
them only the alternative between star
walton and suicide.

Boston, MASS, June 29-Sumner
Hartwell, the octogenarian hermit OF
Shirley, is dead. He lived and died in
the room where he was born. He passed
half his life in locality where he could
hear the locomotive whistle daily, yet he
never rode on train of cars and knew
not the appearance of the inside of an or
binary freight caboose. He had no idea
of the nature of the telegraph instrument
and had tailed to gaze upon the tele-
phone transmitter. Horse cars would
have been as strange to him as they would
have been to the North American Indian
in 1887. OF the several towns near Shir.
ley, he had visited only two. the city of
Fitchburg, two miles away, he knew no
more about than he did OF Herat From
the hilltop where he passed his days can
plainly be seen the church spires in
Nuremberg, three miles away, yet Sum.
ner Hartwell knew as much about Con-
stantinople as he did of Nuremberg, He
| had been to Townsend Harbor, an
adjacent village, and had paid
visits to a grist-mill on the edge
of Groton, but at that point he
WOULD NOT ALIGHT FROM HIS TEAM.
Neither curiosity nor desire for infor-
nation had ever prompted him to learn
in Just what manner his corn was turned
into meal. Hartwell never saw circus,
never attended a county cattle show,
never heard of thousand matters ia
miliar to every school-boy in the land.
For forty years he had not attended
church, but he made the request that
when he died the bell upon the Unitarian
| Church be tolled, and it was. Politi-
cally, this odd fellow was a Republican,
but he did not follow closely the political
world. He voted for Blaine last year,
but he did not tarry at the polls. Disap-
pointment in love is popularity supposed
to have caused him to seclude himself
from the world, but nothing definite on
this point is known.

QUITE A JAM.

A Specimen Jam In the Maine Lumber Re-
giOns-FOurteen Million Logs Wedged In.
to the Kennebec Rivera Dynamite
Start and al Imposing Drive.
AUGUSTA, Me-, June 22.-Efforts to
break an immense jam Of logs on the
Kennebec have afforded excitement for a
few days to people along the river above
Fairfield. A great drive came out of the
east branch Of the Kennebec about ten
days ago. When two miles below Indian
Pond dam, the logs began to form jam
on the belRl of The river where the banks
are nearly one hundred feet high. 1t was
not long before 100000 logs were
hung up in a great blockade.
The drivers in charge hoisted the
gates at Indian Pond dam, and with a
head Of eight feet of water tried to force
the jam through. The sudden rush Of
water broke the boom inst above the jam
and let down 100000 more logs upon
the pile, but without forcing the block
ade. The gates at the dam were then
closed to raise another head of water
Other logs accumulated until an
immense pile half mile long
and tossed high in the air, COM
pletely hid the river from sight. Lum-
bermen climbed out to the head OF the
jam and deposited a large quantity of
dynamite which was connected by wire
with battery on shore. Early Satur-
day morning a sufficient quantity OF water
had accumulated. The gates at the dam
were opened and head of ten feet sud-
denly poured down through the valley.
The great pile of logs
CREAKED AND TWISTED,
but did not start until an electric button
on shore was touched. There was a
tremendous explosion. Logs flew high
In The air and sudden shower of splin-
ters fell for acres around. The Jam
started en- masse down the valley. There
was strange crashing and rumbling that
grew into a roar as the immense body
gathered speed. The current runs at six
teen miles an hour for long distance
below where the blockade occurred and
the logs, moving as solid body, gained
nearly that speed 1t was strange sight
No water was to be seen, and the
great black avalanche rushing through
the valley with an unearthly roar present
ed spectacle which those who witnessed
will long remember. Lumber men say
there were fully 100000 logs in the
drive as it finally swept down stream.
After the mass got in motion it stretched
out so that its height above the water was
about twenty feet many of the logs riding
down in an upright position. Many logs
caught upon rocks and projections, and
were broken or ground to pieces.

a Stabblng ARRAY On a Levee Wharf Boat
at st, Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 23.-About seven
o'clock this morning serious cutting
ARRAY between two roustabouts occurred
on the st. Paul wharfboat, at the foot OF
Olive street. An Italian roustabout
named Joseph Drau, who lives at 4O6
West Levee, was waiting to get his
ticket when negro roustabout whose
name is unknown stepped on his toes.
Drau struck the negro in the face, when
the latter drew an ugly-looking knife
about five inches long and plunged 1T in
the back of his assailant, who at the time
must have been turning away, the knife
entering the small of the back on the
left side.
Immediately after being cut Drau ran
up the lcvee to Chestnut street and then
along the levee to 406,where he dropped.
The patrol wagon was summoned and he
was removed to the dispeusary, bleeding
fearfully from the wound, which is at
least four inches in length. In spite OF
the serious character of the wound the
physicians think Drau will recover, as
there are no signs of internal bleeding.
In the confusion the negro made his
escape.
