The Potomac river is recedng and
the outlook is that the waters will fall
to something like normal condition
within 4 few hours. Reports from
Cumberland, Williamsport and other
western Maryland towns state that
while the waters were, in some in
stances, 80 to 80 feet above the normal.
they fell very rapidly. Considerable
damage was done all along the Poto-
mac line in Maryland, the greatest
losses probably being around Williams
port, where the river spreads out over
the lowlands. Several small houses
are among the wreckage. The Balti-
more and Ohio railroad is beginning to
move trains between Cumberland and
Baltimore by using part ofthe Penn
sylvania system.

PRAISE FROM ABROAD.

Mr.. Goldsborough S. Griffith, of Balti-
more, president of the Maryland Prisoners
Aid Association, has been commended for
his reform work by the Howard Associa-
ton of Great Britain. At the February
meeting of that association, held in Lon
don, the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
THE committee of the Howard Associa-
ton desire to congratulate their honored
friend, MIR. Goldsborugh S. Griffith, of
Baltimore, Maryland, U. s., on his valua-
bic labors for the reform of the prisons
and convict camps of the Southern Unit
ed States.
by his extensive Journeys of vista
! ton among them and by his interesting
general report on their present condition
he has rendered an important service to
his country and to humanity.
1T is earnestly to be hoped that many
other good men may unitedly endeavor
to improve the treatment of offenders in
those States by securing the abolition of
convict camps, the separation of men from
women in the prisons, and of adult from
juvenile offenders, the provision of female
officers for female prisoners and especially
by the extension of reformatory insttu-
tons for criminal and neglected youth,
instead of the consignment of so many
thousand children as at present, to the
rulnous corruption of the ordinary Jail
and convict gangs"
The Howard Association was institu-
ted under the patronage of the late Lord
Brougham for the promotion of the best
methods for the treatment and prevention
of crime and pauperism. Among its pa
irons are the Duke of Westminster, the
Earl of Derby, the Bishop of Shrewsbury,
the Dean of LANDAU. and a number of
physicians and members of Parliament.

MARK HANNA, SENATOR.

Gov. Bushnell Oh Monday definitely
announced his purpose to appointMark
Hanna as a Senator of the United
States. to succeed John Sherman.
The New York World says: at is
an appointment utterly and conspicu-
ously unfit to be made.
at is the outcome Of complicated
political dicker, which unhappily in
wolves the President-elect himself. as
our Canton dispatches on Monday
show.
"Mark Hanna has no pretensions
whatever to craftsmanship. He has
neither learning nor experience, Meth
er an acquaintance with public affairs
nor skill in their conduct.
"His solitary claim upon attention
is that he has raised and disbursed a
gigantic campaign fund for the de-
bauchment of American politics.
without that claim upon attention
his appointment to the Senate would
be ludicrous. With it that appoint
ment is blistering scandal

Tie New York Sun says: General
Lees indignant resignation as Consul
General ut Havana because of the su-
pineness of the administration in pro-
tecting American citizens against Span
ish savagery, would doubtless be fol-
lowed by his enthusiastic election as
Governor of Virginia next November

Attention was called to the Cuban
question in the Senate Wednesday by
the presentation of three resolutions on
that subject. One of these came by
unanimous vote from the committee
on foreign relations and called for the
immediate and unconditional release of

CHURCH FOLKS TOO NOISY.

ChurchIy Entertainments.

Otto Stumpf. a dry goods shopkeepcr at Clin-
ton avenue and Hackensack plank road. West
Hoboken. complained to the police yesterday
about the numerous entertainments given in
the West Hobokeu Reformed Church, which. he
said. annoyed him. The church is situated
about $50 feet west OF ~Stumpt's shop. Between
the shop and the church property are three two
story frame houses owned by the complainant.
Stumpf alleges that several Of his tenants have
moved on account OF the noise of the entertain
mcnts and the disorderly conduct OF some boys,
who, he says. are Members of the Boys Brother
hood connected with the church.
The boys are even more annoying than the
entertainments" said Stumpf. They stand on
the sidewalk and smoke cigarettes, and when
they are waiting for a car they 20 over TO a sa-

THE entertainments in the church are alto

o'clock. the proper time for such things to cease,
they sometimes last till midnight"
The Rev. w. X. Ackert, the pastor OF the
church. says he is not perturbed over Stumpt's
complaint.
IT is too silly for me to make any comment
on said he. Our. cnterta ailments never an

disturbances are not connected with the church.

Twelve-yearold Harry stein was found sleep
ing in a hall on East Twenty-second street on

in the YorkviIIe Police Court by Agent Butch

Mr.. Butcher that he had been put out OF his
home at 2 Norfolk street by his father. Herman
Stein A%fterward he said he had been induced
TO run away from home by Jacob Weiss, II
years old, who had organized a gang OF youth
full thieves that preyed on the east side.
Weiss, he said. lived somewhere on Stanton
street and was boss Of the thieving gang. He
taught the boys how to steal without being
caught, assigned them districts in which 10
work, and disposed OF the -tOlen'property. As
o seller ne was not IA success. and he got but
little money for the goods. The gangs spe.
cialty was baby carriages.

day" young stein said, and Weiss sold IL to a
fish dealer for Is cents
Was there a baby in itr' asked Mr.. Butcher.
answered the boy.
Did you steal any carriages when the babies
were in themf, he was asked.
Yes: We drapped the kids in a hallway
then" he said.
He added that Weiss tried to rob a drunken
man on East Houston street Wednesday night
and was caught by Policeman Rooney OF the
mans watch and locked up. Without a leader
the gang broke mp, and he wandered uptown
SO as not to lie arrested.
Magistrate Hedges held tho boy for exami-

the complaints OF dry weather are exaggerated. At

good character. There was considerable realizing
