BosToN, Feb. 15.-The water in the
flooded districts is receding. The loss to
property here is roughly estimated at
81 100000. At Newton Upper Falls
1888, 1000 worth of machinery and finished
work was flooded with great loss. and 100
tons of soft coal and $4,000 worth of
stock and valuable patterns of cotton ma
chinery were swept away, loss 5000, 900.
At Brockton the floods are subsiding.
There are five or more wash-outs on the
Old Colony railroad within the city
limits. Temporary bridges are going up
and gullies are being filed. No further
damage is feared, and families have re.
turned to their homes.
At North Middleboro, the Old Colony
railroad bridge is undermined at both
ends, and the water is pouring over it in
torrents, washing away the roadbed. The
damage already amounts to $4,000.
Great damage is also reported at Maiden,
Matfield and Taunton.

A Strange Snake story.


One morning, as l was going to my
orchard for basket of apples, was
agreeably surprised to see large joint
snake lying near the path. Now was my
chance, / thought, TO prove the truth or
falsity of the stories that he'd been told
me. So getting stick, in twinkling l
had him nicely dissected. Without dis
turbing the head and tail joints, care
fully placed the others in the basket and,
stepping aside n few paces. put it be-
side me OH the ground. While contem-
plating the curious structure of the joints,
which seemed to fit one into the other
like those of the prairie rush, my attention
was arrested bya slight noise, and on look,
ing up to my utter amazement / saw the
snakes head with the tail in its mouth
coming directly towards me, l quietly
drew back to watch results. After crawl
ing few times around the basket il
stopped, apparently much disappointed
and perplexed, and put down the tail it
was carrying. Evidently it was suffering
considerable pain and distress. now
took the parts l had in the basket and
placing them near the others anxiously
awaited further developments nor did
wait in vain, for the several parts, drawn
by some mysterious attraction, imme.
diately united and the snake glided away
seemingly as sound and contented as If
nothing unusual had happened,

BRILLIANT JOURNALIST.
The Versatility OF the late George
n. Lanigan.

The newspaper fraternity-and they
alone-appreciated the late Mr.. George
L. Lanigan at his proper worth. From
the great public whom he delighted to
serve, his modesty kept him under cover.
In any appreciative article on his genius
the Buffalo Courier gives the following
account of his work as writer for the
New York World:
1t war was in progress in Europe he
kept track of it and reported the move
ments of the armies from day to-day. If
o particularly fine race was run the de-
scription of it was assigned to Lanigan.
He wrote much of the editorial page, but
his department may be said to have been
especial subjects That is, the enc mat
ter of most general interest for the time
being was confided to him, and by closely
reading the exchanges and other means
he speedily became as much the master of
it as if he had been on the ground. He
may be said to have watched the entire
country in the same way that.a city editor
watches his own town. In addition to
all this he translated much from the
French. 1.-THE Creme de la Chroniques,"
which was for long time weekly fen
ture of the World, was prepared by him.
As an indication of the speed with which
he worked 1t may be mentioned that the
first copy of Victor Hugo's "L'Art d'Etre
Grandperen received at the editorial
rooms from Paris was handed to Lanigan
one afternoon, and he prepared in time for
the next mornings paper au article of sew
eral columns of length, consisting chiefly of
translations of portions of it into English
verse. Bayard Taylor won some celebrity
by doing the same thing and taking more
time for it. One evening, after running
through the English mail which had jus,
been received, Lanigan announced that
the only news it contained was that the
Akhoond of Swat was dead and he was
writing poem about him. The verses
duly appeared in the next mornings
paper, and were so good as to attract
much attention. They can be found in
Rossiter Johnson's NPlay Day Poetry"
rs can also the brightest thing perhaps
that he ever perpetrated, 1.-THE Amateur
Orlando" II is not perhaps too much
to say that Lanigan conld do the
work of any other man on the newspaper
with which he CHANGED to be connected,
and do it better and quicker than any.
body else. Occasionally he would try
his hand at loftier work than humorous
verse, and some of his serious poems
were recently going the rounds of the
press. He had hand in at least one
farce, and he once and while con
tributed to Hdrper's Magazine.

Harper's Weekly Of the date February
18th says: II the universal sympathy of his
countrymen could console Statesman in

Bayard would be deeply comforted. There

calls truce to political luminosity, and
places every party at his side. 1t would be
we'll II the instructive feeling which now

full and effective political debaters OF this
generation was Mr.. Bayards predecessor In
the state department, Mr.. Seward. He WINS
a leader In the fiery discussions of our
stormiest epoch. But 10 speeches in our
political history are so siDgularly free from
personal offensiveness and from unfair or
extravagant statement as his, and none
were OF more service in arousing the public
conscience and strengthening the country
by the calm consciousness of right and JUS
tice, for the tremendous ordeal of the war.

In an article advocating the commercial
union of Canada and the United States
Goodwin Smith of Canada says: Unwise
as many of us think was the policy of
the government in artificially stimulating
the growth of manufactures here, the in
terest thus created by the act of the state
has title to equitable consideration.
Behind tariff adjusted to that of the
United States, and supported by the cog
nate interest among the Americans,
Canadian manufacturers would still be
sheltered from European competition i;
and, considering the fatal hollowness of
the ground on which they at present
stand, and their liability to lose all by q
sudden change in the balance OF parties,
they would surely be gamers by the
arrangement. Protectionism, as believe,
is not destined anywhere to live forever /;
Il will be in great peril as soon as the
workman clearly perceives that what he
gains in the nominal rate of wages is
more than lost in their purchasing power;
but its longest respite from death seems
likely to be under the tariff Of the United
States, because it is there that, from the
vastness of the territory and the variety
of its productions, the evils of the system
are least felt.

How the Bridge Went Down.

At Saturday noon about 1876 men went
out as usual to their work on the great b.
Il p. railroad bridge across the Susque-
hanna at Garrett Island. The sic feet of
false work on the 80-feet-high span over
the western channel was being hurried to
completion. The workmen had been en-
gagged % hours when the foreman, who
saw slight crack forming in the ice north
of the bridge, shouted " Come off men,
towards the shore for your livesl" All
hands dropped their tools and hurried
ashore. Scarcely had the foot of the last
man left the false work of
the bridge when the air was filed
with rushing, heavy sound, like the
heaving of big sea, followed in the
twinkling of an eye by crash of terrific
force, accustomed by the falling of the
false work of the bridge. The portion
swept away stretched between piers and
S, and was being built out from pier A, on
the Garrett Island side. The destruction
embraces 100, 900 feet of lumber, and the
labor of about $50 men for one month and
a-half, besides other incidentals, which
will place the loss between SIG, 900 and
$40, ono. Twice before has this span been
swept away

WRECKED ON BARxseAr sHo41s.
A Number of Men Drowned. Hrclud-
Ing Three of the H.ffe-SnvfnR Crew.


BARNEeAT, N. j., Feb. 1s.-The Austrian
barque Kralievika, Captain Smertjuta, from
Marseilles, went ashore on the Barnegat
shoals during the dense fog which pre-
vailed yesterday and was totally lost. Eight
OF the barques sailors were drowned and
three OF the crew of life-saving station No.
~, Of which Joel j. Ridgway is keeper, per-
ished in the waves by the swamping Of the
life-boat in which they had embarked to
rescue Kraljevika's people. The fog was
the heaviest that has been seen In this part
OF the coast for years. 1t came In with q
raw northeast breeze early In the morning,
blown In shore by the wind In great vol
umes, which rendered the seeing Of objects
more than 10 feet distant impossible.
The storm which had first swept along
this section of the coast has left behind II a
reminder In the shape of q fierce and angry
swell, which sent great combers high up
the beach, driving a wall OF spray and
spume before 1t which offered almost Inn
penetrable resistanceto the launching of a
boat. At 1920 the crew OF the Barnegat
life-saving station, who had been on the
alert for signals from vessels caught I'm the
fog, were aroused by the faint sounds OF q
ships bell, alternated by the fainter notes
OF u fog horn.
Captain Ridgway of the life-saving crew
Immediately ordered out No. boat, which
has always been accounted the nimblest
breaker craft In the station. She carried II
crow of seven men, including the coxswain.
| Every preparation was made, and the boat
| taken down to the beach.
At 2.45 the sound of the ships bell ceased
| and in Its stead came the omnibus boom OF
gun, and Captain Ridgway ordered the
| life-boat In the surf. Waiting for a lull In
the succession OF curling breakers the craft
was run out successfully and pulled away
| In the direction from which the signals
came. In few seconds the fog hid them
| from view from the beach. The great seas
came rolling in and tossed the boat high up
| on their crests, but her head was kept to
| the wind and she made progress. Now and
then the mon were thrown from their

NULL That WAS A BULL
And "A Mob That W0nId Have EHus-
tied an Umpire,

Santa Fe New Mexican.
William A. Vincent and wife returned
yesterday from a trip to the City of
Mexico. They had beautiful weather for
their trip, and were fortunate in reaching
the Mexican capital in time to attend the
greatest bull fight that has been seen in
the republic for generation. Judge Vim
cents description of the scene is vivid.
A celebrated matador from Spain ia
starring through Mexico at present, and
the visitors witnessed his performance at
on amphitheatre located Just outside of
the Federal district. Some 5000 people
occupied seats in the amphitheatre. -Four
horses were ripped to pieces by the iu-
furiated bulls, and three bulls were slain,
but when the fourth bull dashed about
the circle and became so fierce as to
terrify the attendants and even the
brave matador, the audience Missed and
shouted and called them set of towards.
The bull was clearly master of the situa-
ton; none dared to approach him, and
the audience was canyassed for fighters
who had the nerve to stand before him.
Two local celebrities entered the arena,
but were soon put to fight, and, as q
fnal resort. the attendants lassoed the
bull, dragged him to the centre of the
arena and deliberately cut his throat. Al
similar scene was never before witnessed
in Mexico. 1t was conceded that this
was the most vicious bull that bad ever
been turned loose in the republic, and
the deliberate manner in which the gritty
animal was done for SO aroused the spec
tators that they literally went wild with
rage. They tore the seats from the
amphitheatre and hurled them at the
bullfighters, who were forced to flee for
their lives, and before the crowd left the
place the structure was almost wholly
demolished.
