ICE GORGE BROKE
And the Damage to Steamers and Canal Boats
Was Heavy.

RoNDour, n. NJ, March l3.---The ice
gorge in Roniout creek below Eddyyille
gave way this afternoon and let tremen-
dous amount of water down the creek.
Steamboats, of the Cornell Steamboat Com
psny and about 30 canal boats were swept
into the river and driven down stream.
Steamers Pittston and Adriatie, valued at
$4,000, were so badly stove that il is
feared they will sink.
A number of canal boats were crushed
and sank and many other vessels were
badly damaged.
The water above the dam had been back
ing up since Saturday, and Eddyvi!le was
inundated. The rain of Saturday night
caused the water to rise to fully eight feet.
Eighteen thousand barrels of cement, stored
in the Lawrence Cement Company's mill,
valued at over $50, 900, is total loss. No
loss of life is reported.
1t is thought the loss to the Cornell fleet
will be about $4,000. No insurance.
Thirty canal boats, loaded with ice and
valued at $1,000, partially insured. Loss
to the Delaware & Hudson Company will
exceed 5000.

GIANTS IN LINE.
Star Players Being Signed for the New York
Ball Team.

NEw YORK, March l3.-That famous
and popular ball player. Roger Connor,
was signed Saturday afternoon at the ST.
James hotel by Manager Ward. The Phila-
delphia club exchanged the big first base
man for Catcher Boyle, Pitcher Jack
Sharott and bonus of several thousand
dollars.
Connor has been identified with the
Giants, with the exception of last year,
since the League club was organized here
n 1888. He is one of the most popular
players that ever wore a New York uniform
and the management of the club deserve
great credit for their energetic and success
full endeavors.
His engagement will be the means of
bringing back into the fold many of the old
time patrons of the games last season be-
cause the New York club allowed him TO
leave the team. With the pitcher back five
feet Roger should recover all his ability as
home run hitter and prove tower of
strength.
Shorty" Fuller, the short stop Of last
years team. has also accepted the terms
offered him by the club and his contract
will be here this week.
Pitcher King will arrive in the city to-
morrow or next day and will then sign with
Manager Ward. This will leave only Rusie
to be signed as Mcmahon will be released
now that Connor has been secured.
Manager Ward has ordered the players
to report here on March 2s. when practice
will commence at once.

EIGHT HOURS
Shall Constitute Days Work
for the Letter Carriers
With Extra Pay for Extra Time, Says
the Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON. March l3.-The United
States supreme court today affirmed the
Judgment of the court of claims in favor OF
the letter carriers in the cases of Aaron s.
Pos, and Frank Gates against the United
States.
These cases arose under the act preserib-
ing eight hours rs Il days work for the lei-
ter carriers. II was contended by the letter
carriers that the postofiiee department in
constituting that act violated its intent and
purpose, and was requiring more labor from
them than was contemplated.
In the Gates case the question whether
the eight-hour provision, as applied to let
ter carriers, don't average eight hours a
day for months, the department holding
that any deficit in eight hours on Sundays
or other days could be set OFF off against
any excuse over eight hours on other days.
The court rules that this cannot be done,
and that the carriers are entitled to extra
pay for overtime on any single day.
In the Post case the position taken by
the United States was that eight hours
should consist of the time employed in
the actual distribution and collection of
mail, and the carriers could not recover
extra pay for other service within the post
office, performed by them in connection
with the duties imposed on them by the
postmaster. The court holds that this
position is untenable.

SLY INVENTORS or GUNS.
For Defined Reasons They Avoid the New
Magazine Board.

SpRINGFIELp. Mass, March ia
sporting rifle of caliber big enough for a
toy pistol was the only weapon found wait
ing for trial Saturday when the new
magazine gun board delegated by the war
department, reopened tests here for ma
tional arm.
The members were surprised when they
found that not single inventor had put in
an appearance, although it has been their
experience from the first that the guns were
held back until the last minute. This delay
on the part of the inventors is caused by
their desire to profit by the mistakes of
those whose weapons are tried early.
A leading member of the board said ::
This disposition to hold back became so
manifest during the previous tests tnat a
rule was made declaring the sessions pri-
vate to all except the inventor whose gun
Vas under consideration, foiling the designs
of the crafty
The board is made up, with single ex-
ception, of the same experts who within two
years have passed upon 60 guns at the ar
mory in this city, and who finally recon-
mended the adoption of the krag Jorgenscn
model
The board consists of Colonel l.. S. Otis
of the Second Infantry, Lieutenant Colonel
r. II. Hall, Sixth Infantry, and j. =. Far
ley. ordnance department; Major II. B.
Freeman, 18th Infantry, and Captains S.
f. Blunt, ordnance department, and G. S.
Anderson. Sixth Cavalry. Colonel Otis,
the new member of the board, was elected
president, while Captain Blunt, who is sta
toned at the armory in this city, was re-
elected recorder.
The outcome of the conference here was
an adjournment to March 80, which is the
last day that guns can be submitted. The
meeting will be held in this city, and Lien
tenant-Colonel Hall believes it likely to last
a month continuously.
The examiners feel little nettled that
American inventors who have been clamor-
ing for another chance. and claiming that
they have been neglected until special pro-
vision has been made for them by the latest
army appropriation act, should hold back
until the last minute.
The sporting rifle shown by Mr.. Dyer of
Portland, Me-. involved a principle which
he believed might be applied successfully to
an army gun, but it was only 20 caliber,
whereas 80 is required. No word was re-
ceived from the Brooks Arms Company of
Portland, Me-. over whose wooden models
such stir was made since the old board of
examiners adjourned
