WATERVILLE.
Hazing - Waterville Not to Cele-
brate.

Friday evening, May 81, there was so
ciable held at the Congregational church in
this city, the feature of which was mock
trial. This trial was conducted for the most
part by Colby students and there was also a
large number present as spectators. The
entertainment concluded with the serving of
ice cream and cake as refreshments. few
of the students thinking they had not had
sufficient fun for the evening quietly pro-
ceededed to the basement of the church and
securing two of the partly empted cans
brought them to the college campus where
they held an impromtu spread" Having
finished their repast they carried the empty
cans down to Ladies Hail. and depositiug
them on the front steps made music by
turning on them stream from the yard hose
which happened to be in plsce. The noise
served to ar.use the sleeping inmates, and
when one or two of them appeared at the
open windows they were compelled to beat
a hasty retreat by a well directed shot from
the hose After few moments the matron
of the hall appeared at the door and sug-
gested that they were carrying practical
Joke bit too far. The boys concluded to
adopt the same view of the case aud after
little chatting dispersed to their rooms
A highly sensational and exaggerated &C
count of the escspade was at once telegraph
ed to the New York World and Boston
Globe, bringing the college into much dis
agreeable notorety. President Pepper in
vestigated the affair and ordered the offending
students to make an apology to the matron,
Mrs Dexter. One or two dil this; the
others refused TO apologize for what they
considered an innocent bit of pleasantly and
the faculty were compelled to take further
steps in the matter. The denouement cane
with the suspension of four students. Two
Freshmen are suspended indie tinitely and two
members Of the Senior class until the Friday
before commencement, when they will be
allowed, If they wish. to take examinations
and graduate with their class. The sus
pended students are very popular men with
their college mates and their removal has
excited good deal of discussion on the
campus.

Storm Still Ra ging
PHrLADFLrHrA, Nav 81,

IHtIAbELfHtA, May 81.
At the office of the general manager of
the Pennsylvania railroad it is stated tonight
that information in regard to the break west
of Altoona is very meagre. Enough has been
learned to indicate that the rush of water is
the worst ever known in that sectio-. The
storm is still raging and it it is thought that
no trains will be passed until Sunday.
The Oh csgo limited express which left
New York at = this morning, and the fast
line train leaving that city at s last night
are both laid up at Altoona. The Chicago
aud New York day express and all other
east bound trains are supposed to be laid up
between Cresson and Pittsburg.
Mr.. Pugh said despatch had been re-
ceived from Wilmot tonight which stated
that a man had reported to the Pennsylvania
railroad operator there that the Sonth Fork
dam had broken water and carried away the
'coal tippleT and telegraph tower, south of
the Fork station and portion of an east
bound freight train. The telegraph operator
in the tower managed to escape but several
train hands are thought to be drowned. The
reservoir or dam at South Fork is described
by gentleman acquainted with the locality
to be an immense body of vater, formerly
used as water supply for the old Pennsyl-
vsnia canal. 1t has been owned for several
wears BY number of Pittsburz gentlemen
who used il as a fishing ground.
