New Harbor Near Chicago.

Chicago and New York capitalists have or
gained to construct an inland harbos in the
heart of the Calumet region. The expendi-
ture of private capital will be S6,OO0,0 900.
Hammond and East Chicago have assured
prompt cooperation, and the Federal govern
ment is expected to lend hand. The harbor
will be adapted to the deepest draught navi-
cation. The enterprise will give employ
ment to 1000 men. Under the present plans
work will be begun in October. Completion
is expected within two or three years.
Ii is believed that the sequel of this under
taking will be the development of great
commercial town at the northwestern gate
way of Indiana. The industrial and agricul-
tural resources of Indiana will be linked with
the shipping trade of the lakes. Incidentally
some people believe that it will eventually
divert considerable traffic from Chicago.
Not until recently, however, was its sue
cess made possible. a unity of interests has
been perfected. Back of the scheme are men
of prominence. They say the scheme is
feasible. Among the New Workers interested
are Robert Z. Todd of Kennedy, Todd & Co.
and \. ID. Eddy, representing John ID. Rock I
efeller. Owen f. Adds of Chicago represents
a number of eastern capitalists in the scheme.
1t is understood that some leading Yer
mont business men had tip about the devel
oping of the property in this section before it
was known to the public generally and thai
they have purchased large tracts of the lane
that without doubt will soon grow into pros
porous cities.

ready to leave for the hills at moments
notice
The damage to farmers on their crops
on the flats at'the foot of the side hills is
very large and the total loss sustained so
far is estimated from $l5 900 to 500, 900
The heavy losers in the city are the mer-
chants on the principal streets, the Central
Vermont car shops, the Franklin County
Creamery, the Fletcher Granite company
and the st, Adams Steam Laundry who were
forced to shut down and abandon
work, owing to the flooding of their works.
The lake rose nearly foot in "a hours.
The Lamoille valley was under ten feet
OF water, running all the grass and growing
crops.
The water in the Mssisquoi river is the
highest ever known; 1000 cubic feet of .
dam at Sheldon went out and one family
there moved out of their house into barn
on the hill.
Two men were drowned in the east part
OF the town OF Enosburgh, Frank Scott,
while attempting to rescue the family Of
John Dow from a chamber window, had
ms raft upset and he could not swim. The
body was recovered later.
Frank Hyer was standing on a small
bridge aud his mother warned his danger.
Hyer laughed and jumped to shake the
bridge. The bridge was carried away and
he was drown ed. The body was recovered.
OLD OCEAN MAD.
The full fury of the storm which had
ragged for 36 hours was centered on Brigh-
ton beach, New York. All day and all
night the huge breakers rushed over the
buikheads, spreading tons of water upon
the lawns of the hotel and playing havoc
with the ampitheatre which before the sea-
son was opened was built 100 feet further
inland, and it is feared the structure will
be washed away
During the day the old Ocean house was
surrounded by water and at 1 l o'clock that
night the entire front of the hotel was
swept away. The lawn in front of the
Hotel Brighton was entirely demolished
and the lawns in front of the Oriental and
Manhattan beach hotels were all washed
out and the flower beds uprooted.
1t was reported that at West Brighton
several yachts belonging to the Gravescnd
Yacht club had broken from their moor
lngs and drlited out to sea. Hts

Popular Ocean Excursions.

The ''can't get away" contingent the pres
ent summer will have an opportunity to en-
Joy all-day ocean tips on a stanch and pala-
tial steamer, the Lewiston, formerly of the
fleet belonging to the Boston and Bangor
Steamship Company, which will make daily
ocean excursions, leaving Commercial Wharf,
SO Atlantic Avenue, at 10 NJ.
The trips are varied from day to day, and
comprise excursions. along the north and
south shore, the Isle of Shoals, and to High
land Light, affording view of some of the
most interesting points and the most pictur-
esuue spots on the eastern coast.
The Lewiston is the largest steamer ever
employed for excursion purposes on eastern
waters. She is a handsome and seaworthv
boat, thoroughly equipped and modern in all
appointments, containing ample deck room,
handsome and roomy cabins and over 100
well appointed staterooms, and her great
size insures safety against the much-dreaded
seasickness, which is so often encountered on
boats of smaller dimensions.
Major Clark Military Band and Orchestra
accompany each trip, and dancingis INDUCED
in on the main deck. Meals and refresh
ments are also served by experienced cater
ers. Female attendants are provided by the
management to look after the comfort of the
lady and children patrons, who are assured
that they can at ali times enjoy these eNcur-
sions without escort with perfect security.
Altogether the Lewiston affords an oppor-
tunity to enjoy delightful days outing on
old ocean, escaping the heat encountered in
land, and furnishing relaxation and pleasure
of a most healthful and substantial nature,
and at an expense so moderate as to be with
in the reach of all.
Thus far the Lewiston's excursions have
been very literally patronized, and are
bound to become very popular.
The trips for the coming week are to be
follows: Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and
Friday to the I~le of Shoals; Tuesday and
Saturday, Historic Plymouth and Cape Cod
shores; Thursday, Highland Light.
Special rates are made to clubs and sOcie-
ties.

The Rockingham Street Sewer.

The work of sewering the north end of
the village to accommodate the new resi-
dences which are being erected on the
various so-called Morgan Lots, is APP
preaching completion. 1t would have been
finished some days ago, but for the severe
" hot weather OF last week, and the rainy
DAYS of this. For the last two weeks, the
workmen have not been able to accomplish
over halt what could have been done had
the weather been favorable. This sewer
line was commenced June a short dis
lance north of the new residence of Nj. II.
Ray on Rockingham road, about fifty rods
south of Mr.. Fitzsimmons' buildings. 1t
extends down Rockingham and Atkinson
streets, to the south end of Morgan Park
where it intersects the sewer running north
from Atkinson street across Rockingham
and under the Rutland Railroad into the
river. This line on Rockingham and At
kinSon streets is 400 feet in length and is
y inch pipe. About 800 feet of the South
end is graded to run south into the old,
Atkinson street sewer. The remainder OF
it grades north and south into ID inch
pipe which passes under the Rutland Rail
road and into the Connecticut two feet below
low water mark. This branch is about 250
feet north of the new street on which Fred
E. Paul and Clinton Hatch are erecting
residences. Into this main line of sewer
on Rockingham street will come the small
err ones from the cross streets which are
surveyed, as required. From ten to twenty
five men have been employed in this work,
the smaller number during this week
The cost to the corporation will probably
reach $1,000.
The petition for more adequate sewerage
in the vi Unity of Wells street and Derby &
Balls snath shop causes some discussion as
to the best method ofremedying the trouble
1t is understood that, as requested by a
petition OF citizens, the baliifs will soon
call another corporation meeting to vote
upon the question. They will lay before
the voters plans and estimates of the ex-
pense of starting new sewer line near the
snath-shop, and running north through a
newl y surveyed street known as Morgan
street, parallel to Rockingham, to the new
street opposite the intersection of the fit
teen-inch branch mentioned above, empty
ing into the river and connecting with it.
The sewering OF those streets will be neces-
STATED in the near future and it is thought
to be matter of economy in expense to
take care of the surface water in this way
and have the sewers all ready in place wher
needed instead of increasing at present the
size of existing lines
Probably a fourteen-inch pipe will BIZ
necessitated and between 1900 and 100
feet in length The cost of this will be al
great or greater than the Rockingham
street line now being completed, making
the sewerage expense Of the corporation
rather heavy this year, but it is evidently
unavoidable.

MAN AND HIS SHOES.

How much mau is like his shoes!
For instance, both soul may lose;
Both have Leen tanned; both are made
tight
By cobblers; both get left and right.
Both need mate to be completes;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they re mended new
When men wear out they're men dead
too!
They both are tread upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing 10th.
Both have their ties, and both incline
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you
choose
To be man or be his shoes?

unavoidable

Old Ocean also Acts Giddy.
The terrible heat of the ten days pre-.
ceding Wednesday resulted in great and
disastrous storms all over New England
and the east in general. In New York a
reservoir in the Fishkill Mountains gave
way about 5 o'clock Wednesday morning
There were two reservoirs in the noun
tains, the lower one half mile distant
from the other. The upper dam gave way,
letting the volume of water into the lower
reservoir. This also burst, and the water
rushed down through ravine. Van
Burne & T;mouey's brickyards on the
Hudson, Just below Duchess Junction,
are mile distant from the site of the
lower reservoir. Without warning the
flood reached them through the ravine and
made terrible havoc. Buildings were torn
in pieces and their occupants carried away
in the raging flood.
There were two floods The first was
not disastrous, but alarmed the inhabitants
most of whom left their houses. A short
time later the second dam burst, pouring
the flood down the mountains, carrying with
it great mass of debris, parts of buildings
etc.
Trains were stalled all the way from
Fishkil to Poughkeepsie. One of these
was a Cook excursion train, the passengers
on which expected to start for Europe on
that day.
In the debris there were trees that had
been torn out by the roots, timbers and
roofs of houses, bedding, dead pigs swept
away with their pens. On one roof were
seen halt a dozen live pigs. A barrel of
flour converted into paste stood On a roof
In the side of the mountain was a great
furrow which had been scooped out by the
flood as it came down the bed of the
brook. The stream was from 80 to 200
feet wide and had brought down with it
great powders, trees, timbers and other
wreckage.
A total of five bodies have been taken
from the wreckage left in the wake OF the
flood at Duchess Junction, and there are
known to be two and probably three more
lying somewhere beneath the piled-up
debris which is all that remains of three
houses that were swept away.

VERMONT HAS A LIVELY TIME.

In Vermont the New Haven river has
risen to a height surpassed by the flood OF
1869. n McIntyre's blacksmith shop was
in the center Of the flood, about two feet
deep, running through it. 1t was feared
that it would go, but withstood the waters
The bridge west of this shop stood the as
saults of the water until about 9 o'clock,
when it gave way and went down with a
crash. The bridge crushed against the
covered bridge below, knocking it from its
abutments. On the South Starksboro
road all the bridges-13 in number-were
carried away.
The Bristol Manufacturing company suf-
fered loss OF fully $1,000 ON lumber, dam.
age to stock, machinery, etc. The loss to
the town of Bristol is estimated at from
5000 to $4,000.
A dispatch from Bennington states that
damage to the electric railroad has been
severe and it will be week or 10 days be-
fore travel can be resumed. All highway
bridges have suffered by the carrying
away of supports. A son OF Thomas Brown,
a brakeman, was drowned, which was the
oalY fatality reported.
At st Adams, the damage vas estimat-
ed at Sl5, eco and there were grave fears
that the reservoir might give way. Every
flood gate and waste pipe was open, and
the water was pouring over the dam OF
what is called the new reservoir at a ire
n,endous rate. In fact, the overflow alone
quilted out piece about $50 feet long,
Ranging from 80 to 80 feet wide and IL
feet deep. All the inhabitants ON tie line
