THE oRouIH BROKEN.
Rain Falls Through the Western States and

Chicago, Oct. u.-Rain Is falling gen.
orally, today, throughout the narched
belt of the Western states and the long
disastrous drouth has at last been
broken. Reports from Kansas, Me-
braska. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Ar

In Nebraska is the first of any conse-

six weeks, while Kansas is receiving
her first wetting for two months.
The drought just broken has for sever

never been equalled in the period covered
by authoritative record in this country.
Crops have suffered, fruit has been blast
ed, fires have leaped up as If from spon-
taneous combustion in field and wood

the middle of August has been crowded

New Bedford has accepted the term
of Maynard. Clifford and Ernest Allen.
Portland has accepted terms of Fred
erick Jeans and Patrick Fitzgerald OF
Fall River.
Gardiner ReporterJournal: With two
State leagues 1t looks as though Maine
might be pretty well 'poloed'' this season.
L. f. Scolfield has been released b. r
Gardiner and signed by Rocklari.
Charlie Gay has been released by
Rockland and signed by Gardiner.
Bath Times: Bath people are sat
isfied with the Maine polo league as it
now stands. Any changes in this city
would not add to the interest in the
game. To secure first class player
in another league in Maine would be 4
difficult job for the promoters.
Lewiston Sun: There is getting to be
quite an argument among the polo en-
thusiasts, whether there shall be an inde-
pendent league this season. AS for the
people of Lewiston. they do not want to
see it, nor do they think the new scheme
would pay should it be entered upon. One
reason the Lewiston people give for be-
lieving this is that the cities mentioned
for this league have no rinls, and they
think it would not pay to lay out $4,000 or
$4,000 to build one. They say it would not
pay to hire such players as Tom Cotter.
for they would not realize enough above
expenses to pay for such players. and If
they hired cheap players they certainly
would not make it pay. as people would
not patronize inferior playing.
Portland Advertiser: Polo will soon be
occupying the attention of those who en-
joy this lively sport. The Portland team
as announced looks like a good one, but
time will tell whether it can cope with
others in the league. Above all, it is
hoped that this year there will be no
shadow of a suspicion of croOkedness.
The games should be played so fairly and
openly on the square that there will be
no ground for charging that everything
is not as 1t should be- Rivalry with other
cities will doubtless grow intense as the
season advances, hut that ought not to
prevent every. visiting player from hav-
ing strict justice done him while engaged
in the game in this city. Let us not in
our effort to win forget to use the strict
est fairness. If the game is conducted on
these high principles as it doubtless will
rOnage.
Portland Advertiser: The polo season
will open in Portland on Nov. S. when
Bath will meet the home team in City
hall. Only two men of last years team
will play here this season. These are L.
G. Whipple and Charles Jordan. W. E.

WATER MAIN BURSTS.
And Many New Workers Suffer Heavy Damage
to Their Properly.

New York, Oct. 10.-A mammoth
Croton water main burst early this
morning at the corner Of Madison ave-
nue. and 4Sth street and wrought such
havoc with property that not even a
partial calculation can be made OF the
financial damage at present. For
blocks around scarcely a dwelling or
public building could be found which
did not suffer in a greater or less de-
gree by reason of the volumes of water
which poured into the streets, cellars
and Easements. The loss will reach far
into the thousands.
The big main was probably cracked
by blast which was fired in sewer
excavation, late Saturday afternoon.
Then in the night time when the strain
on the pipe was greatest it gave way
and the flood followed. The breaking
Of the 4-foot wall pipe was announced
by a rumbling noise which awakened
the people in the immediate vicinity.
Looking out of their windows they
saw great geyser in the middle of the
avenue shooting vast volume OF
water into the air, a column so high
that it reached almost to the top OF the
electric light pole on the corner. Those
who had no view of the fountain heard
a mighty rush of water.
The most serious damage was done
to the railroad branch of the Y. M. &.
A. building, and to the Knickerbocker
A. c. house. In the basement Of places
was flowed the dynamo, bowling alleys
and bath rooms. These have probably
been ruined. The club officials place
the loss at $4,000. At first it was i'm
possible to locate exactly the main
which had broken until there was
shut down at the Central Park reser-
voir. In this way much time was lost.
while the deluge continued. After five
hours the flow was stopped.

Miss Casselar In the other fatal AL
giers case the patient was removed 10
the isolation hospital and died there.
Two of the deaths, today, were in Car
rollton, which, relative to the popula-
ton, has furnished more fatal cases
than any locality in the city.
Among the new cases is that of Mrs.
Sampsell. Her husband and their son
were taken i'll two days ago, and the
infection has spread in the premises.
Another physician is on the list re-

band After The Game.

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-THE Temple cup will
stay in Baltimore another year. 1t has
been won twice in succession for the first
time in it's history, and If the Orioles take
1t again, it will be absolutely theirs. The
former champions also take 60 per cent.
of the money paid in at the gates during
the three games in Boston and played
here, while the winners of the pennant
win get but 40 per cent, unless, as Is gen.
orally believed, the players have agreed
among themselves to equally divide the
spOils.
Today's game, like all the others of the
series, save the first one, was an easy
proposition for the Baltimoreans, who
won much as they pleased. while the Wis
ftors never appeared to think they had
any chance whatever. The audience was

been 1000 people on the grounds, but a
better estimate would place the attend
ance at $50. At the conclusion of the
game both teams disbanded.
The Orioles put a patchwork team in
the field, while for the visitors Stivetts
replaced Hamilton in center field. Later
in the game Hickman went into left field
to relieve Captain Duffy, who hurt his
foot while running bases.
All three of the twirlers were hit freely
and the fielding was at times brilliant;
especially on the part of Jennings ana
Reitz, the latter being a factor in 1our
double plays and narrowly escaping a
triple in the third inning.
