A GALE At NIAGARA FALLS.

Pedestrians aud Horses Thrown Down by
the Swayins OF the Susp -nsion Bridge.
NIAGARA FALLS Oct. 14.-The storm struck
this city at about midnight and has ragged ever
since. Guests at the hotels have not dared to
venture out. The force Of the storm is felt in
the river. 1t Is now a raging flood. The wind
has driven the water down Lake Erie. and the
result Is the highest water In years. 1t has
swept away logs and the hulk Of an old boat
which has been lying on rocks of Goat Island
for years.
In an hoar's time the water rose twelve feet
in the gorge below the falls. 1t is now nearly
twenty-feet higher and is sweeping over the
docks and waiting rooms OF the Maid OF the
Mist Steamboa Company and slowly creeping
up on the inclined railway terminus. 1t has
blocked up the mouth Of the big tunnel OF the
Cataract Construction Company. 30 that it
could not be seen.
The sight In the gorge Is q majestic one.
The most thrilling experiences resulted from
the attempts to cross the upper suspension
bridge this morning when the wind was
at Its height. The bridge was whipped up and
down. swayinG between ten and fifteen feet.
Men and women were thrown down. and one
thrown against the railing. She would have
pitched over. but for the timely help OF some
men. Horses crossing were thrown down. and
one team was blown across the Bird ge 30 that
the horses feet stuck out OF the side railing.
Drivers on the hotel busses and carriages
be blown of. The bridge at times had the up
and down motion. and again tho serpentine
motion. To night the water still continues
to rise. and great damage Is feared.

to unite in putting q stop to the swindle.
When this reached the ears OF tho importers
there was great indignation.

The delegates from the Moral Reform Society
OF Christian Voters did not venture near the
Convention. although they were expected and
would have boen cordially welcomed. The
delegates were tho Rev. l.. NJ. Gates. Deacon
W. J. Hunt. and w. Z. Drake. The explana-
tion they give OF their failure to appear at the
Convention is that they were told that they
would not be admitted.

the Central Committee. called the Convention
to order. and as soon as a permanent organi.
cation was effected. went away. EX Mayor

decided to let him speak. Mr.. Mulvaney

Modern medicine lays stress not so much on

the body against disease germs
We all encounter every day disease germs
enough to kill us: but while the body is ro-

system is sufficiently weakened and depressed
that these deadly germs gain Judgment and
