ON THE PENNSYLVANIA LINES.

Great Damage Already Done and Much
SUore Is Feared.
PIN ARELPHIA, May "a telegram
Pennsylvania railroad reports that the
rain continued to fall until . a. m,
causing much trouble along the line
east of Altosna. At Mill Creek, Van
dyke, Mexico, Port Royal, The Mar
rows. Lewistown junction, McVeyton
and Manayunk Bridge the tracks next
the river are not passalle, and at one
or two points there have been serious
cave-ins. Reports from Williamsport
are to the effect that only slight rain
is falling there, but the skies are heavily
overcast and the downpour of the past
few days may resume at any moment.
At a. m. the west branch of the Sus-
quehanna was 81 feet above the low
water line and rising at the rate of six
inches an hour.

Theriver is now about,as high as it
was during the food of 1889, and water
is running through the streets of Will
iamsport. Some river men estimate
that it will go about four feet higher,
while others think the worst is over,
and that the fall will begin soon. At
Renoya, Keahng and Karthouse, about
90 miles north OF Williamsport
the river had fallen over two feet at 10
a. m. Montgomery bridge. the mile
long structure which spans the west
branch, just north of Watsontown, is
weighted with heavily laden freight
cars, and until the WAGER recedes no
traffic will be allowed to cross the
bridge. The Pacific express. which

DEAR Sm:--In reply to yours Of n 6
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Min Go. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this pas, season,
Iwould beg 10 say, that il has now been
iii operation day and night during the past
three weeks working ON plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and il is giving ne the
greatest satisfaction. The more rec OF
It's capabilities, the better pleased am
that put IL in, as | am satisfied that ID
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving OF labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons OF
cane every - hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred much larger
quantity if necessary. IL delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
10 the three roller mill, which receives il
without tho Intervention cf any labor,
and "a the cane is thoroughly shredded
or Gisintcgr8ted il relieves the mill of q
great deal OF strain, thus reducing the
liability o. broken shafts, gearing. etc.
There ia saving OF four a. men daily
on the mill, rs only one man ~ required
to regulate the amount Of cane delivered
by the carrier 10 the shredder. Il hae
lnCFeISPN TIC cAuHCtiOu IIDIl 70
per cent.
The economical use OF steam Is gene
rally Il serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed TO its highest limit,
as il was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing 70 the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel, and the freA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
| will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 10
see the machine at work TO fully app e.
ciate its capabilities.
/ remain, very truly yours,

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. I'm the
rapid burning of Lizzie Hackett's
cheap lodging no use, on Swan street,
near Main, at 3 o'clock this morning,
there were only two deaths, as inyesti-
cation shows, and a dozen persons in

burned about arms and bots.
William Sweeney, slightly bruised

Charles Van Ever, negro, private de-

The building was a rookery, and

Caliiornia's Gold Product.

Expert miners and prospectors pre-.
dict that the new South African gold
fields, OF which the wonderful city of
Johannesburg is the commercial cen
tire, will, when fully developed, prove
to be the richest eyer discovered. The
character and extent of the deposits
in that territory, says the New York
Herald, certainly warrant the expec-
tation that further operations will
place it among the most famous min
ing regions in history, its output all
ready exceeding that of any other dis
trict of similar geographical area with
the single exception of California.
1t is to California, indeed, that his
torians must turn for the standard
with which to ascertain the compara-
tive richness of all other gold fields.
The record Of that State in the yield
OF the precious metal stands without
parallel in the history of mankind.
No other territory ever developed
gold deposits so extensive, SO rich, or
so enduring, nor has any ever wit
messed profitable mining operations
extending over such long periods OF
time.
The gold produced in California
since 1850 exceeds 81, $50, 900, 900, and
the yield at present amounts to about
$13, 000, 900 a year, or perhaps 81.
900, 900 more than that of any other
State. The output has decreased some
what in recent years, but the decline
is not due to any general exhaustion
of the territory, but TO the suspension
of tine hydraulic mines, which of them
selves turned out something like $l0,-
600, 900 annually.
These figures set a high mark for
boomers of the South African gold
fields. They represent a contribution
to the wealth of the world eve
equaled by any similar area of terri
tory on the face of the earth. And
California, notwithstanding the diver
sion of vast sums of her energy and
capital to profitable mining opera
tions for other minerals, is still turn
ing out more than one-third of the
gold produced in the United States.

departed. his face was Illuminated as though
he were just going into harbor. The fact
was, he bad already gone through the MAR
rows" In the adjoining room were the
Christmas presents waiting for his distribute
tion. Long ago. one night, when he had
narrowly escaped with his ship from being
run down by a great ocean steamer. he had
neighbor or a better man you would not find
this side of heaven. Without a moments
warning the pilot of the heavenly harbor had
met him just of the lightship.
The captain often talked 10 me of the
goodness of God. and especially OF a time
Dor with his ship from Liverpool, and he was
suddenly impressed that he ought to put
back to sea. Under the protest Of the crew
and under their very threat, ne put back to
sea, fearing at the same time he was losing
his mind, for it did seem so unreasonable
that when they could get into harhor that
night they should put back to sea. But they
put back to sea, and the captain said to his
mate, 'You will call me at 10 o'clock at
night"
At 70 o'clock at night the captain was
aroused and said "What does this mean? I
thought / told you to call me at 10 O'Clock,
and here it is TO-" s.Why,' said the mate,
II did call you at 10 o'clock, and you got up
looked around and told me to keep right on
this same course for two hours, and then to
call you at IL O'clock Said the captain :
'Is 1t possible? 1 have no remembrance Of
that"
AT u o'clock the captain went on deck. and
through the rift of the cloud the moonlight
fell upon the sea and showed him n Ship
wreck with 100 struggling passengers. He
helped them OF. Had he been any earlier
or any later at that point of the sea he would
lave been of no service to those drowning
people. On board the captains vessel they
began to bandtogethsr asto atthev she Md
pay for the rescue and what they should pay
for the provisions. "Ah," says the captain,
my lads, you can't pay me anything. All l
have on board is yours. 1 feel too greatly
honored Of God in having saved you to take
any pay" Just like him. He never got any
pay except that of his own applauding con
science.
Oh, that the old sea captains God might
be my God and yours. Amid the stormy seas
of this life may We have always some n as
tenderly TO take care of us as the captain
took care Of the drowning crew and the
passengers. And may we CONT into the
harbor with as little physical pain and with
as bright a hope as he had, and if 1t should
happen to be n Christmas morning when the
presents are being distributed and we are
celebrating the birth of Him who came to
save our shipwrecied world, all the better.
for what grander, brighter Christmas present
could we have than heaven?
