GRANDEUR DIMINISHED.
Niagara Falls Loose Picturesqueness By
Scarcity of Water.

Niagara Falls, November 19-The water
of the Niagara river is lower than it has
ever been within the memory of the old
est inhabitants
1t has steadily been going down for
some time till now rocks which. have new
er before been seen are plainly visible.
The most noticeable evidence is the
Gorge. The rocks on both sides of the
river stand up OH the banks several feet
from the present margin. The water
pours our very slowly from the rock be-
meath the American falls. AT the Horse
Shoe Falls the volume is so diminished
that the deep laundering tone has
changed to ligher one. Table rock is
entirely dry and no water tumbles down
tire cascades between the Three Sister
islands.
The well AND river, which is the largest
tributary stream to the Niagara here
abouts has no perceptible flow.
Fears are expressed that should the
eastern gates spring up the river may
run nearly dry as the water would be
forced up the lakes
The present state of affairs is caused
by general low water in the lakes whose
levels We're never before SO low.

The Quaker City's scandal.

philadelphia, November 12-The State
Senatorial committee, Investigating
municipal affairs of Philadelphia, re-
sumed its sessions this afternoon. Thos.
M B. Adds, the agent of the Citizens
Municipal Association. again took the
stand Mr.. Adds testimony related to
the failure of the contractors for street
cleaning to perform their work in accord
ance with Specifications. Mr.. Adds
evidence touched upon the alleged negli-
gence of contractors to properly remove
garbage, ashes, ETC., during the past
several years. He testified on behalf of
his association that they had formally
notified Directors of Public Works
Wlndrim of the failure of contractors to
do their work. He read several letters
the association sent to Mr.. Windrim, ask
ing that fines be imposed npon derelict
contractors, and some penalties were en-
forced upon contractors.
Mr. Adds told of the system of street
paving in, Philadelphia. He referred
particularly to the failure of the street
railway company TO pave streets in the
manner provided by the act of councils
passed in 1888. He stated the average cost
of street paving in 1898 was So. So per
square foot; in 1894, So. 4S per square foot !;
against 50. ST per square foot during the
present year. By this excessive charge
the witness declared the citizens paid
over S24O, 900 for something which they
did not get.
The committee then adjourned until to-
morrow.

Masked Men Force an Express Agent to
Open His Safe.

Colorado Springs, Col, November a.
A few minutes after mldnlght last night,
news reached the police headquarters that
the Santa Fe Wells Fargo express agent
at this point had been held up and re-
lieved of $40. 900 in cash. The Santa Fe
fast Chicago train arrived here at 9. ~.
The agent, George Krout, stepped out
IN the platform to attend to the express
matter, and after arranging everything
waved his hand at the messenger and the
train pulled out of the depot south bound,
toward Pueblo
The train was out of sight in few
moments around the bend in the road
and the agent was Oh the point of turn
inc back into the station, when some one
commanded: "Throw up your hands.
He whirled around to see two short,
thick set and heavily masked men, each
of whom held revolver in his hands.
came the order.
The agent passed back into the room
where he was told to open the sale.
This he at first refused to do, but the
revoIyers thrust in his face were TOO
much for him. He started to say some-
thing. but was told to keep quiet
When the robbers first entered the place
they found s15, 900 package lying on the
table. This Krout told them was vas all lho ne
bad, but he finally admitted that 6here
was So. 900 more in the safe.
They forced him to open the strong box
and give them the S., QUO, but when ne
closed the door he shut in $50, 900 that the
robbers knew nothing about. krout was
then made to undress himself and go to
bed and cover himself up and while lying
there, the thieves made their escape. =
The place where the robbery occurred Is
on the outskirts of the town east OF the
city and is brilliantly lighted by great
arc lights on all sides. The place where
the money was kept was in small house
200 yards from the depot and divided into
two compartments There has been
shipped by Wells Fargo yesterday upward
of $50, 900 to the Cripple Creek gold fields

for they seemed to know what they were
doing.

NOW ITS FLOWERS.
Florists in New York Mustn't Sell Then on
Sunday.

New York, November ~ -Police
Captain Pickett Of the West 30th station
today notified all the wholesale and retail
flower dealers in his precinct that, begin
ming next Sunday, they will be arrested,
charged with violating the Sunday law,
if they sold flowers Sunday.
The cause of the order was a letter the
captain received from Acting. Chief
Conlin, enclosing a communication from
William Dihan, secretary of the New
York Retail Protective Association,
which stated the retail florists violated
the Sunday law by selling flowers Sun
day, and asked that the law be enforced
against them.
This evening a number of the whole
sale dealers in flowers called upon the
captain and told him they would obey
the law.
During the past few days, Detective
Mcguire of the West 50th street station,
has been engaged in a crusade against
the saloon keepers and cigar dealers who
sell liq uors and beer to children under

made.

VERY CHILDISH.
That's What They Call Dnnraven Over in
England.

London, November 12.-The West
minister Gazette commenting on the
charges made against the New York
Yacht Club by Lord Dunrayen says
Lord Dunraven's conduct is not only
irritating and childish, but it gives the
American public an excuse for alleging
that it is the practice CT British sports
men when they lose, to slang the umpire
and accuse their opponents of cheating. -
The ST. James Gazette repeats that the
bringing of deliberate accusation OF
foul play weeks after the event, is alto
gether unfair, besides being deplorably in.
furious and unpatriotic
The Pail Mall Gazette defends Lord
Dunraven's course but says that although
the cup committee of the New York
Yacht Club has not yet moved in the
direction of an inquiry, many are of the
opinion that an inquiry must be held.
