By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Pa. May 2i.-At mid
night advices from the flooded districts
indicate that the storm has spent its
fury, and that the waters have begun
10 fall in those localities where tho
danger has seemed greatest. Other
places further down the swollen
streams are threatened, but the worst
is probably known. sunbury is threat
ened with complete inundation. as the
water there is rising very fast. At
Renova and Lockhaven the food ia
rapidly reecding. and no eurther appre-
hension is felt. The same is true Of
shamokin, Dunoannon and other points
which have been visited by the flood.
Railroad communication. which has
been greatly impaired, is being restored
and unless there is fresh rainfall OF
considerable dimensions. the flood in
the central portion of the state may be
said to be on the wane.

I did not have time yesterday to visit
the powder works where the Chinese are
making all sorts or powder, from the
brown cocoanuts which are used for the
heavy guns to the small black grains
which are made for modern rifles; but
saw samples of the powder. and Mr.. Corn
ish Gays there is a chemist now on his
way from Germany to China, who will
teach them how to make the smokeless
powder which has been recently invented.
/ asked as to the hours of work and the
wages of the men. Mr.. Cornish replied !:
TT is curious thing that we have an
eight-hour law In existence in these works
and our employees work fewer hours per-
haps than in any other native esta bliSh-
ment in China. The men begin work at
7 SO A. NJ. and work until IL 80 O'Clock.
Then they have an hour for lunch and
work on until 80 o'clock. Iu case of
necessity. however. of war. or otherwise.
we could work them twice that long and
could add to the force largely without
much trouble. Our mechanics get from
three to six Mexican dollars a week, or
from a dollar and a half to three dollars a
week in your currency. The very best OF
the foremen receive as high as $50 month,
and under foremen get about thlrty-hve
Mexican dollars a month. Our possible
supply of labor is, of course, Unlimited.
"By the way" continued Mr.. Cornish,
II suppose the eight-hour rule came from
the fact that this establishment was origi-
nally organized by an American VINO came
here a score and more of years ago
and was employed by the Chinese to run
it, He ran it so well that he made for
tune out of it, and for this reason it wa 8
taken out of his hands. The Chinese don't
object 10 money being made, provided
they make it themselves. and they saw
that Mr.. Falls was getting rich very fast.
They now handle the thing themselves and
IL there are any fat contracts or squeezes
to be made it is Chinaman who has
charge of them."
At this moment one of the officers of a
Chinese naval vessel came in to see about
getting two six-inch guns Tor his ship,
which was lying at the arsenal wharf, and
with him we took trip over Chinese

famlliarly called Washoe. Hoover in his
ll1etlme used to write for the newspapers,
being frequent contributor to several If
the interior journals. In this a story
somewhat akin to the terrible Donner
catastrophe is given:
In the month of July. 1850. Frank Antonio.
Portuguese, in company with five Mexican
miners. went from Hangtown, now Placerville,
IN FL Dorado County, over th Sierra Nevada
TO Carson Valley, on prospecting tour for the
purpose of discovering new placer diggtngs.
While prospecting on Carson River and in Gold
Canyon Franz Antonio had a horse and mule
stolen; but not knowing whether strayed or
stolen he searched for them for some days.
During one of his rides In search OF mis- animals
he went TO the head OF Gold Canyon, and when
near "Six-mile" Canyon flock of grouse flew
up and flew some distance into piece of sage
brush. Frank having double barreled gun
with him. got off, tied his mule and went 10 get
shot at the grouse; when: however, he ar
rived at the sage brush he could not find them.
On his return to his mule he took different
route from the one which he had taken In fol-
lowing the grouse, and thinking that he might
discover the tracks Of his lost horse and mule,
he kept bis eyes on the ground.
In passing over table or couch running
north and south and lying directly broadside TO
sunrise he saw scattered on The ground what
he at first sight knew 10 be rich silver ore, lie
having previously worked two years in the sill
yer mines OF Brazil. He picked uD a few pieces
and put them into his pockets, got on his mule
and returned to camp. He then took out his
ore and asked an old Mexican silver miner
what he thought of II. On examination the
Mexican said it was very rich silver ore, and
would prove to be half silver. and asked Frank
where he had found 1t. Frank replied he bad
found 1t upon the hill. Then, finding no trace
OF his animals and believing them stolen. he
recrossed the mountains to Hangtown and
there found his stolen property, which lie
recovered, and again crossed over TO Carson
Valley.
The prospects not suiliDg the views OF the
party they concluded 10 recr0ss the mountain
ana go southwark. Crossing over The ola Car
son route they continued on high range to
travel southwark until they got 10 the Mariposa
River. Here they halted and commenced to
prospect again; finding very rich dggngs they
were about TO make camp and go to work,
when perfectly na ed Indian made his ap-
pearance among them, and In Spanish de-
manded something to eat This uDexpec ed
aps earance, added TO natural dread OF Indi-
ans. at once determined the Mexicans TO leave
for some mining camp; and Frank, against his
Will. was compelled to go along.
Descending toward the valley they turned
and travelled northward until they came to
