RAISED BY A GORGE.
The Delaware River Raised Sew

The Delaware River Raised Sew
en- Feet in Two Hours.
TRENTON, n. j., Feb. 1O.--The ice
which has closed the Delaware river
for SIX weeks broke at Lambertville, 16
miles above here, this noon, and at once
started on rush down stream. Op-
posite Trenton the ice cut channel
and passed out smoothly, but at Per
iwig bar, two miles below the city,
the sailing Ice formed jam and
the backWater resulting therefrOm
flooded parts of South Trenton. The
river rose seven feet in two hours dur
ing the afternoon. Towards dusk it
went down about foot, creating the I'M
preston that the jam at Periwig had
broken, but later the river began to rise
again, and there is now every indication
OF flood severer than that of 1882,
when several parts of the city were
submerged, and much damage was
done. Fair street, which is on the
river front in South Trenton, is under
water already and people are padding
about the streets in boats. In several
mills the furnace fires have been
put out by the water. The
flood has been anticipated for
weeks and such preparations have been
made for the occurrence that the dam
age to property will be kept down. The
Assanpink creek, which runs through
the city. is also high, and by tomor-
row the water may OVerrun Its
banks and put out many furnace fires,
as we'll as food dwelling houses and
cellars. Reports from Morrisvile and
other Pennsylvania villages along the
river. both above and below Trenton,
are to the effect that the water, has be
gun to OYerrun them.

CONFLICTING VIEWS.
Roads Do Not Agree on a Con-
struCtion of the Recent Wheat
Rates Decision.
Chairman Midgley Requested to
Secure the Interstate Commits
sion's Interpretation.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Chairman Midgley,
of the Western Freight association,
returned today from St. Paul, where he
attended the conference of managers
and traffic officials of the wheat carry
ing roads of the northwest. The object
of the meeting was to decide what should
be done in view of the recent de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission ordering the roads to max e
a lower rate to Minneapolis than to Du-
luth on wheat shipments from North
and South Dakota. 1t appears that the
different parties in interest put differ
ent constructions on the decision. and,
consequently, could not agree as to what
was required OF them. The 500 line
had already obeyed the order in accord
ance with its own understanding of it,
and had reduced the rate in some cases
as much as four cents per 100 pounds
from North Dakota points to Minneap-
oils and St. Paul. Other roads contend
ed that so great reduction was not
called for. The order, as they read
it, required difference of only
two cents per 100 pounds between
that rate to Minneapolis and that to
Duluth. and they tried to convince the
500 line people that this was the correct
Interpretation. The discussion, how
ever, did not lead to an agreement on
this point, and it was finally decided to
adjourn until all official settlement of
the disputed question could be obtained.
Chairman Midgley was requested to
communicate with the interstate COM
merce commission with view to Secur-
ing an Interpretation and modification
of its order regarding wheat rates from
the Dakotas to Minneapolis and Duluth,
and to call another meeting of the in
terested lines not later than Feb. 90.
Chairman Midgley will go to Washing
ton next week to interview the conlmls-
sion in person.

RAILROADS UNDER WATER.
High Water Playing Havoc With

PITTsBURG, Feb. l0.-High water is
playing havoc with the travel on the
railroads centering here. The Pan
Handle has been compelled to use tie
Fort Wayne tracks for two days. and the
Allegheny Valley was again blockaded,

MUSCLES TOO HARD.
Zobel No Match at Wrestling
With the Burly
King.
Smith OutSkateS Pannell in

Race.
Bingham Wins a Good Balk-
Line Game From
BiXby.
Single Curling Match Mar
rowed to Lightner and
MeCulloch.

1t is apparent that Louis Zobel COM
mitted an error in judgment when he
backed himself against Jack King.
There is a wide difference between the
functions of the muscles in Juggling
cannon balls and tossing heavy weights
about and catch-aS-catch-can wrestling.
AS a result or last nights match at the
Olympic. Xobel Is probably the most
disappointed athlete in the country to-
day There is no denying the fact that
Iobel is Il wonderfully strong man,
and that his agility is not ordinary.
Still, his training has been just such as
units a man for featS on The carpet. he
has aimed 10 harden his muscles, and
he stood in strong contrast TO King.
The lattpr's muscles are soft and plla-
bic. This illustrates the truthfulneSs
Of the theories enunciated by John l..
Sullivan, that the man with muscles
like steel can never become a great pu-
2Iist. The same principle applies to
wrestlers. Tom Cannon is an example,
and few men have been more success
ful than he.
The conditions of the match were that
King must throw Zobel three times in
all hour. or forfeit the purse given by
the theater and the stakes posted by the
contestants. Zobel was banking on his
ability to remain on the defensive sutfi-
ciently long to prevent the three falls in
the stipulated time. Did he do IT.?
Eleven minutes Sutficed. But there was
pretty work. Zobel is not familiar with
mixed styles, and there is where King
shines, and in which he is ready for all
corners. He gave a combination Of
Corinth, catch-as-catch-ca and Gr8co-
Roman. and lie did it in such clean style
that IObel was utterly confused and
helpless. He had never seen a back
grapevine, but he was taught it in the
first bout. King put on this with all
arm lock combination after little hard
sparrlng, and the fall was won i'll four
minutes. The second fall was still
easier for the big fellow, and it was
another surprise. Probably no man in
The audience ever saw a full Nelson
from in front before, and surely ZObel
was not ready 10 meet it. 1t placed him
squarely OIL his back in just two MIN
utes. 1t required a little longer to fin
ish the cannon ball manipulation the last
time. but the fall was unique and en-
phatic. 1t was by halt-N elsOn and a
body hold, and King literally picked his
man up, and lifting him high ill the air,
laid him out fiat on the carpet i'll five
minutes.
King will remain in the city for a
month. and meanwhile lie is looking for
any wrestler that will make match
with him.
