IT appears TO be generally conced-
ed that General Beaver will be the
next Republican candidate for Gov,
ernor, bot s number of aspiring gen
tlemen are anxious to be placed on
The ticket with him. 1t strikes us,
as but q matter Of common fairness,
that the candidates who were on the
ticket with him, and who wert down
in the general wreck caused by tie
family quarrel in 1882, are equally
entitled TO a denomination, if they
desire il.

PHGNIyvILLE The storm here
was very heavy and the ice passed
off a. O'clock At Z P. NJ. the river
was up nine feet and still rising rap
idly. The ice has gorged at Port
Providence, and unless it breaks be-
fore morning there will he heavy
damage. as the town lays along the
river and is quite low French
Greek is also very high and has
flooded the Phenix Iron Company 5
shops so that work is suspended.
The Perkiomen river is half mile
wide aud very wild, and has carried
off fences and several small build
ings. The ice is banked up at the
mouth, but is ground into small
pieces and no damage Is anticipated

FEBRUARY FLOODS
The Delaware a Raging Torrent al
Trenton.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HOMELESS.

TRENTON, n. j., Feo. 1.-The
river here has risen to a level with
its banks everywhere and overflowed
the whole lower part of the city. In
Warren Street, which the water
scarcely ever reaches, the flood Is
now two feet deep. Dwellings, mills
and factories are flooded and great
damage is already done The tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad are
under water and all trains have stop
ped running. Hundreds of people
are driven from their homes, the
water in some eases being so high
that boats are used. Much stock
has been drowned here and in the
surrounding country. Charles Al
len, going into his cellar to save
some property, was caught by the
water and imprisoned. He was
nearly drowned before being rescued.
The water Is still rising, and the
flood is certain to do immense fur
ther damage before morning. 1t is
the greatest freshet here in thirty
years.
MlDMGHr-The river is still ris-
ing and rain falling. The Pennsyl-
vapia Railroad Station is surroun-
ded by a rushing torrent several
feet deep locomotives have been
run on all the bridges to keep them
from floating off. All the available
men are at work saving the movable
property of the company. There is
no prospect of trains being able to
pass through this citw for the next
twenty-four hours at least.
THE sUsQUEHANNA UP.
PoRT Deposit. Nd, Feb. 1.-THE
heavy rain Of to-day and last night
caused rapid rise in the Susque-
hanua River, and the water Tonight
is as high as at any time this winter.
The lower portion of the town is
flooded, and many dwellers along
the river front were compelled to
make a hasty removal to higher
ground. The body of ice in the
river remains unbroken, and It is
almost impossible for the heavy
volume of water to make its escape
into the bay. Grave apprehensions
are again entertained and strict
watch Is being kept tonight. Ad-
vices from up the river are very
gloomy, and unless the ice gives
way sufficiently to make an outlet
for the water, disastrous flood is
looked for
About 10 o'clock the body of ice
opposite Rock Run made break
and was forced up over the tracks of
the Columbia and Port Deposit rail
road, covering them for distance o.
one hundred yards and to a depth
of six or eight feet. A large force
was at once put to work to clear it,
but it is feared that the damage will
be heavy.
