WILL AT ONCE REBUILD.
OakIal d, In One Sense, will Be a Gamer b,
Fridays Fire.

Oakland, April 1i.-(SpeciaD.- Tho
fire of Friday afternoon, which destroyed
the buildings of the Oakland Machine
Co. was in one sense benefit. The
foundry of the company, which was leased
by the Waterman Tool Co., had long since
proved too small for the volume of bust
ness which Mr. George B. Rogers, the
enterprising manager of the firm. had
built up, and some time since the Oakland
Machine Company resolved to cnlarg,
that part of the building.
Yesterday, your correspondent inter
viewed some of the leading gentlemen in
the firm and learned that they woulo
start Immediately to erect foundry
double the capacity of the old one, and
with all modern improvements, to cost
about $1,000.
Far from being cast down by the fire,
Mr. Rogers was in a hopeful mood ano
had practically everything running, yes
terday, except the foundry. He has cast
ings enough on hand to keep the machine
shop running until the foundry has been
rebuilt.
Mr. Rogers is a man of sterling quail
ties and has a host of friends in this
State who wish him all success, and his
enterprise is certainly most commendable.

THE BRITISH REPUlSED
BY ChitraI Natives. With Loss Of Four Men
and Nineteen Wounded.

Calcutta, April 14.--Thc following
news of the Chiltral campaign was sent
from Sir Robert Lows headquarters, to-
day: "A corps Of guides under Col.
Battye, was instructed, yesterday, to dos
troy the villages in the hills from which
persistent fire has been dropped into our
camp. The guides advanced further than
Sir Robert intended. They discovered
two large bodies of the enemy approach
ing and signalled to that effect
"Sir Robert signalled back that the
guides should retire ut once. This the
guides did, delivering steady fire at tho
enemy. The natives were held In check,
and apparently suffered heavy losses
Just as the movement of tho guides
corps was completed Col Battye fell
mortally wounded, and died few minutes
later. The British lost three others killed,
and two officers and II privatcs woudned.
THE British had no idea that such n
large force of the enemy was in the i'm
mediate neighborhood Their loss would
not have been SO heavy had tho com
mandcr's instructions been understood
and obcycd.
Further fighting in the near future Is
regarded as likely, when the last dispatches

SECOND WITHIN A WEEK.
Concord. N. Il. Had a Sample and Now Get
ting a Whole Stock OF Freshets.

Concord, N. H.. April 1.-THE heavy
rain last night and today, have caused the
Merrimac river to overflow and submerge
the intervales and main thoroughfares
leading eastward from this city. The
volume of water flowing over the Sewalls
falls has become SO great that the dam
and electric lighting plant is in danger of
serious damage. The river has been ris-
ing eight inches an hour, this afternoon,
and as the rain continues at late hour,
tonight, there is no immediate prospect Of
the river subsiding.
This is the second freshct within a
week, and the total rain fall in that time
so far exceeds the record for years. Through
express trains for Montreal and the West

count of washouts and high water on the

been run on it to hold it in position
On the main line of the Concord divi-
sion of the Boston x Maine there are
several places between East Lebanon and
Lebanon where land slides have covered
the track with mud several feet deep.
The water is foot deep in tho yard
at Canaan and is over the iron for 100
rods between Grafton and Grafton Centre.
The overflow at this place is due to the
breaking of the dam at Martins Mills,
Grafton Centre which allowed the water
to escape from the Grafton Centre pond
There are washouts on the Concord &
Claremont branch, between Mt Sunapee
and Sunapee, on the Peterboro & Hills
boro branch near Dcering.
This is the first time in - years that
high water has necessitated the cancel
ling of passenger trains from this city on
the Concord division of the Boston Il
Maine.
1t is reported. tonight, that the water
in Mascoma lake, Lebanon, is six inches
higher than ever before recorded. The
water is so high at Sewalls Falls, tonight,
that it became necessary to shut off the
power, and this city is plunged in inky
darkness in all sections, save some back
streets where gas lamps are used.
