ERIE CAyAL PARTLY Drained By RATS.


Rochester, July 27.-A break In the Erie Canal,
similar but not so disastrous as that at Adams Basin
was discovered at o'clock this morning at Mcrs
Lock tist a little cast Of Brighton The bernie
bank of the canal washed away for consider
able distance The break was caused by rats
watchman is employed TO 90 over the ground every
day and I'll up the holes made By the rodents, but
where the break occurred there none discovered
Yesterday. Nevertheless, there was big hole near
tho bed of the canal and through this the water first
found an exit. The break was about twelve feet in
length Locking was Immediately suspended west Of
the break and the water was drawn through the
eastern locks This action saved tho fields from being
overnowed. Repairs were made at once Over 100
boats mostly loaded with umoer, shingles and labs,
were detained west Of the break, and large num-
Der east Of the break.
A representative Of q The Democrat and Chronicle
this afternoon investigated the condition Of the
thirty nine boats caught there by the break 1t
is claimed by all the boatmen that no notice was
given them OF the break or the drawing of Of tho
water and when the trouble was known, they could
not place their boats in safe positions on tho prism.
MANY of them arc close to tho tow path and canted
over badly In many they are leaking: In
others badly started and strained, and some Will
doubtless sink when the level is filed.

SWAN DOWN THE HUDSON.

"steve' Brodc, the bridge jumper prize fighter,
pedestrian actor swimmer and liquordealer appeared
last evening In a new role IIo arrested upon
charge Of abduction and locked up at the Mulberrst
station. Gertrude Lord is the girl who was abducted,
and her parents the complainans against Brodlc.
They live at Albany Several weeks Brode was at
Albany, making preparations for trip that he in
tended taking down the Hudson, and while there
boarded with Mr. Lord. Gertrude, who was sixteen
years old last April, became much fascinated with
the winning ways of Brode that she spent most of her
time with him the river sdc watching him grace
fully gliding around in a rubber suit
When BrodIe started on his trip down the river
amid waving flags and footing whistles, Gertrude went
TO her home weeping and dlscoWolate. She could not
sleep that night and in the morning she hastily
searched through the papers until she found dispatch
that told Of Brodes safety and his progress down the
river 1t suddenly entered her mind that she would
be happier with Brode than at homes
and sho stole away and took train
that soon brought her to the swimmer.
She encouraged him during the trip. and when they
reached this city Brode hired room at No. 206
Chrystie-st and took Gertrude there to live. Ho
told every one that she was his wife, but It was
thought strange that he should marry again when
his first wife had only been dead two weeks. Mr..
Lord found out where Gertrude had gone, came here
and had a consultation with the Society for rfe Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Children An investigation
showed that Brodle and Gertrude
not married. and warrant was Issued
by Judge Kllbrcth for the arrest Of Brode.
Ho found at his liquor store in the Bowery last
evening. Gertrude was In her room at the tme ana
She was taken of by an agent OF the society.
Both were taken TO the station house, and Brode
offered to marry tho girl then and there; Gertrude
said she was willing but Sergeant Golden had no
authority to act In tho matter.

tonight Mr.. Sexton asked the Government
whether, seeing that no Irish member could be
summoned in England for offences committed in
Ireland but must he arrested under warrant it
would legislatc to relieve Irish members from this
special penalty Parnellite cheers.)
Mr.. Matthews denied that any special penalty
attached to the proceeding against the Irish men,
bers The warrant issued by Irish magistrates, he
said could be executed in England, if backed by
English ma gistrates. But there great difficulty
In issuing a summons in England beyond the
jurisdiction of Irish magistrates.
Mr. Andrews, member from Nairnshire, then de-
4nanded to know whether before MS
arrest any intimation was given to
Mr. O'Kely TO the effect that the
Crown intended to prosecute him, and whether it
was not the uniform practice in Crown prosecu-
tions of England to communicate before the issue
of a warrant with persons whom the Crown in
tended to prosecute.
Mr.. Balfour replied that no such intimation was
given to Mr.. O'Kelly, and that no such practice
exists. Conservative cheers.)
Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked whether a
summons issued in Ireland. having legal strngency
In England, would not enable the person sum-
moned to go to Ireland to defend himself without
being taken there under arrest
Mr. Sexton also asked whether in the event OF
future complaints being made against Parnellites
engaged in duties in the English Parliament the
Government would proceed by summons instead OF
smuggling men off in the dark. Parnelte cries
of hear! heart" and cheers)
Mr.. Balfour replied that this was matter that
must be decided by the legal advisers of the Crown
If Irish members hastcned to obey summons TO
court Of law, there would be no difficulty in
agreeing to Mr.. Sexton's suggestion, but his eX-
perience was directly to the contrary (" Hear
