near Matteawan, burst at a. M,
owing to the heavy rains. The water
ran into the creek, and two miles be-
low, near Duchess junction, washed
away Timonis' brick yard buildings,
including clearinghouse occupied by
laborers.
The flood also washe d away 200 yards
of the Hudson river railroad track.
Trains are stalled on each side of the
breach.
There were two reservoirs in the
mountain, the lower one-half a mile
distant from the other. The upper
dam gave way, letting the volumes of
water into the lower reservoir. This
also burst, and the water rushed down
through a ravine. Van Buren, and
Timonis' brick yard, on the Hudson,
Just below Duchess Junction. are a
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 ear
ried away IN the raging flood. The
water works system was operated by a
private company and supplied the vii
lagos at Matteawan and Fishkill-on-
the Hudson.
At nine o'clock seven bodies had been
recovered. Two of them were those of
Peter Mulligan and wife, who kept one
of the two boarding houses for brick
yard laborers that were swept away
by the food. The names of the others
are not known. 1t is reported that
20 are yet missing. Tons of earth and
sand were washed down by the food
and men are digging into this mass to
recover other bodies.
Trains were stalled all the way from
Fishkill to Poughkeepsie. One Of these
was a Cook excursion train, the pas
sengers on which expected to make
connection with an outgoing steamer
for Europe.

FATE OF the STRIKE.

Miners Headquarters Notified that the
Miners in the Paramount wv. Val

Depends Upon DeArmitt'. Miners.

CLEVELAND, o.. July 15.--The fate
OF the great coal strike now depends
upon the course of the miners in Presi-
dent DeArmitt's mines, say the local
operators. Until the strikers succeed
IN Inducing these men to come out
there can be no coal famine, and failure
to close these mines means loss of
supremacy in districts which the
strikers now control. In the inaction
of the strikers Tuesday those opera
tors who have consistently and persist
emily refused to concede the POSSIBLE
ity of the strikers attaining their end
found much encouragement.
Mr.. j. III. Lerbe is confident what the
strikers can not close down the West
Virginia mines or the DeArmitt mines.
There is plenty of coal being mined,
as it is said Mr.. Zerbe.
The only thing new in the situation
that | know of, SAID Myron I. Her.
rick, receiver for the Wheeling & Lake
Erie, lis that the price of coal is drop
ping. | received several letters in my
mornings mail offering us coal at re-
duced prices. They seem to indicate
IldI IicTe Is plenby OF coal ON nanu,
while the output of the mines in opera
ton is sufficient to supply the demand.
The Wheeling & Lake Erie has 40 days
supply"
What significance do you attach
to the dispatches announcing the clos
ing down of shops at Akron, Canton
and other places because of the lack of
fuel?"
Il take it that when there is not
much to do it is economy not to run
your works full blast. Take the
Wheeling & Lake Erie. There is not a
great deal of freight to handle, and we
have less trains running. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that the prices of coal
are higher now by reason of the strike.
Probably a good many shops which
have been running short-handed be-
cause of slack trade will take advan-
tage of this opportunity to close down
entirely for awhile"
The report that the Monogah miners
at Pennington have struck is untrue.
Some coal is going from West Virginia
on the Baltimore K Ohio, and Cleve-
land, Lorraine & Wheeling, but the
Wheeling & Lake Erie refuses such
freight. Nothing is being done through
out eastern Ohio. Organizers in West
Virginia are preparing for their fight
in that state.

COLUMBUS, o., July 15.-The Jackson

Fears of Coal Famine AbatinK.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 1.-THE fear
of a coal shortage which caused
scramble for the black diamonds and
heavy advance in prices on Monday is
over, and unless the miners strike con-
tinues for many months a famine is
not now expected.
There is at present an abundance of
coal in the market, and thousands of
bushels seem to be available. Opera
tors are in daily receipt of letters from
the mines east and north of Pittsburgh
offering them large quantities of coal
at from rs cents to $1.25 at the
mines, on freight rates varying
from 33 cents to SO cents.
While the visible supply on the Monon
gahela, between here and Brownsville,
does not exceed 1000, 900 bushels, the
operators say calls can be made on the
Clearfield district, where coal can be
obtained without difficulty, and at
rates as reasonable as could be ex-
pected.

A Bicycle Incident.

A few afternoons since two ladies
were driving about in the family car
riage making calls. They were on
King street and wished to go in the op-
posite direction. The ladies are eau
tious drivers and take no risks. The
family horse is a cautious animal and
in consequence the turning process is
undertaken only at moments when
there is positively no danger of col
lision.
On this instance the ladies looked in
both directions. The coast was clear
and when they had begun turning the
horse, when one of those fiurries of
wind which come from off the noun
tains and sweep along King street,
whirled a cloud of dust into the air
about them. Out of the dust appeared
two bicyclists, with their backs arched
and their eager eyes fixed on the front
tire
The horse was pulled sharply to one
side by the ladies, who saw danger in
those silently, swiftly approaching
wheels. The two youthful bicyclists,
on the wrong side of the street, wheel
ed by, narrowly missing the carriage
AS they passed, one of them turned
with an angry scowl and shouted to
the ladies, What in thunder are you
trying to do? Do you want to run us
DOWN."
The ladies gasped. They were
frightened a moment before; they
were shocked and annoyed at the Ian
guage of the scorcher. Now. they are
if there are police regula-
tons governing the speed of bicycles.

The event for Thursday evening,
May 9th, is the school children's con-
cert in Y. M. G. A. hall, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Tucker, who has sue
ceeded in getting into the voices of
her pupils quality of sweetness which
sounds to splendid advantage. The
children are all apt pupils of music,
and sing with such spontaneity and
so correctly as to make the hearing of
them an entertainment very much to
be desired. Aside from the singing of
the children, there will be cornet So

English by Miss Ward and another in
Hawaiian by the same lady, with the

The contestants for championship

the championship in doubles for 1897

The tournament in singles and dou-
bles, both has been very hard-fought
one from beginning to end. The play
ing this year has been much sharper
than that of last year, and if next year
shows such an improvement, the play
ers in Honolulu need have no fear of

TALLY to the whaIeback. And yet
there is decided difference. The bow
Of Mr.. Loves vessel Is a trife sharper
than that Of a whaleback. There is
more of a slope, upper and lower, to q
centrifugal point, than in the whale
back. The craft is so constructed that
the seas will not make her turn turtle,
should she get in the trough thereof
Her peculiar shape is such that great
waves would slide over her instead Of
breaking against her. She would not
feel at any time that sudden stoppage
and check that the ordinary vessel
encounters when she meets head seas.
The chances are, the experts say, that
MI. loves craft, so far without a
name, is going to be a, world beaten and
break all records.
There have been no startling an
nouncements concerning this new craft,
because her projectors say they prefer
that she shall tell her own story and
that they will begin to talk when she
begins to break records. No effort at
secrecy is being made by her con-
structors, and any one who wishes can
walk in and see her, provided he can
command the courtesy which offers the
only avenue by which visitors can enter
an institution Of this kind.
She will make her maiden effort
about the 18th of June, provided no &C
cidents occur. Then, with the stars
and stripes flying at her peak, the little
craft will endeavor to show all creation
a clean pair of heels.
