To Sell The Canal,

Attorney General John p. Poe, Of Mary
land, has filed bill for the sale OF the Susque
hanna and Tidcwater canal, which was
leased to the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road. The canal extends from Havre de
Grace, in Maryland, to Wrightsyillo, York
county, Pa, and the state of Maryland holds
a mortgage on it for II 100000
The mortgage is u relic Of the time, some
sixty years ago, when the people of Maryland
ran wild over public improvements and
created a debt Of oyer sixteen million dollars
to build railroads and canals The Susque-
hanna canal is that portion of the canal from
Hayrc de Grace, in Maryland, to WrightsyilIe
in Pennsylvania. which lies within this state
The Tidewatcr canal is that portion lying in
Pennsylvania, the two forming a continuous
canal between the two places. The million
dollar mortgage was executed under the act
OF 1888. Default was made in the payment of
interest on the mortgage for many years until
1872, when the properly was lca-ed to the
Reading road. This lease was made for 999
years. In consequence of one ofthe collapses
o. the Recalling compromise was made in
1889 arrrarages and the rate of interest was
reduced to , per cent. Last April the lease
was surrendered by the Reading receivers.
Three half yearly payments of 10000 are
now in default.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gunder-
man, of Dimondale, Mich, we are per
mitted to make this extract: II have no
hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery as the results were almost
marvellous in the case of my wife. While
was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives
junction she was bought down with Pneu-
monia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible par
oxysms of coughing would last hours with
little interruption and it seemed as if she
could not survive them. A friend recon-
mended DR. Kings New Discovery; it was
quick in its work and highly satisfactory
in results" Trial bottles free at X. B.

A False Diagnosis,

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with a severe attack of catarrh, which in
some respects resembles the former These
individuals suffer severely with pain about
the forehead, eyes ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages,
and intact, are incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrh-
al sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been
used with the best results in such cases.

CAUSE OF SUSQUEHANNA
FLOODS.
0verflowS of the West Branch Below Lock
Haven Explained.


Henry II. Guise, draughtsman Of the
city engineers of Williamsport, Pa, is
about completing a map showing the eIe-
walton Of the Susquehanna river from its
source, 800 feet above the ocean level, in
Indiana county, to tidewater, ut Havrc de
Grace and Harrisburg the grade is 41S per
mile: between Harrisburg and Sunbury it
drops 2l5 feet per mile; from Sunbury to
Williamsport the actual fall is only 1877 feet
per mile, and from Williamsport to Lock
Haven the grade averages 1.6 feet feet the
mile. West of Lock Haven to the source the
grade is not SO gentle, the descent averaging
to 50 feet per mile.
On" cause of the floods in that region
arises from the fact that the grade is not
sufficient between Lock Haven and Sunbury
to carry of the water as rapidly as it concent-
rates at points above the city, where the
graduation is sleeper. The same may be said
of the river between Columbia and Havre de
Grace, where the grade averages nearly five
feet to the mile
