plaintiff for costs In the case of j. b.
Moore & Go. vs.. Paul Gillis, sheriff.

failed to do; that he was told that
wheat was 81. IL on the day he sold 1T,
whereas it was really s1.14.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
New York, March IA strike of
tho train hands employed on the
Brooklyn Bridge railroad occurred this
morning and after congesting traffic
for % minutes ended in favor of the
men.
The cause of the strike was now
time and pay schedule prepared by the
Elevated Railroad Co. some days ago,
and which materially cut down the
earnings of the men.
About 5000 people cross on the
elevated cars to New York every hour
from to 8 O'Clock in the morning.
Tho strike started at 7 q. m, and the
thousands of travellers we're compelled
to either walk across the big structure
or take the trolley cars. The surface
cars, already uncomfortably crowded,
became iammed with an impatient
mass of disguised citizens.
The rairoad company TOOK down the
new schedule and put up the old one,
and at Z. 25 o'clock the strike was over
and the trains running again as usual.

THE SUSQUEHANNA GORGE
River is Gradually Falling, But
the Jam at Turkey Hill
Still Holds.
ICE COMING DOWN AND PlLlNG UP
Tracks of the Port Deposit
Railroad Under Water and
Ice at Many Points -
The General Outlook.
Associated pross Dispatch oy Special Wires.

Associated Press Dispatch ps Special Wires
Lancaster, Pa, March 1.-Tho con
dition of the Susquehanna today may
be summed up in the words, the gorge
Mt Turkey Hill still holds.
The river has been gradually falling
since yesterday, the drop being three
feet at Columbia, but the channel that
is giving egresS to the pent- up water
may be clogged up aJ any moment.
The reports that the Golfer dam at
the Columbia dam put in by the w.
A. Chapman Wrecking Co. was des-
troyed, and that tools and machinery
to the value of S15, 900 had been carried
Oft is untrue. The Golfer dam is intact,
although masses OF ice passed over it
yesterday over 80 feet thick and esti-
mated to contain LOCO cubic feet. The
total loss of the wrecking company will
probably not amount to 81 600.
The river continues open on the
Wrightsville side above the dam, and
the ice that is passing. through that
channel is being piled up against the
solid mass below.
The tracks of the Port Deposit rail
road are still under water and ice at u
number of points.
AT PORT DEPOSIT, ND.
Port Deposit, Nd, March There
is still gorge in the river south OF
Port Deposit, but ono very different
from that at Turkey Hill, the point
below Columbia, where tho greatest
gorge exists. This lower gorge has its
southern end at the Baltimore " Ohio
railroad bridge and fills up the entire
channel on the eastern side Of Garrett
Island, but channel is opon on the
western side of the island. Tho ice
field extends northward for about two
miles, but does not lie on the bottom,
SO that a great deal of water goes
beneath it. Even at high tide yester-
day the water at Port Deposit did not
rise much over one foot, and as soon
as the tide turned the water began to
fall, showing that in its present con-
dition the ice below the town is not
much to be feared, though it might
prove dangerous if the greater masses
above should come down with rush
and lodge behind it. During yesterday
good deal of slushy ice came down
the river much Of it lodging against
that already there, and some going
through the channel and into the bay.

New York, March AT 8 u. m. the
following bulletin on the condition OF
Rudyard kipling was issued;
MIR. kipling had better night and

He is still seriously i'll and the fever,

KIPdNG's LIFE WORK.
Lovers of English literature all over
the world know Rudyard kipling, and
his popularity may be said TO be now
at its zenith.
He recently arrived in New York
from England, where he had been
spending great deal of his time re-
Gently, accompanied by his wife, who
was Miss Balestier Of Vermont.
Mr.. Kiplina passed his 33d birthday
December 30th last. That he should
have attained such an eminent place
in literature in so short span as his
own life up to the present is remark
able.
He was born at Bombay, India, and
was q son of j. Lockwood Kipling, who
was head of the Lahore lind. School
of Art. His education was received at
the United Services College, Westward
Ho, North Devon, England. In 1882,
being then but II years old, he re-
turned to India and became one of the
editors OF tho Lahore Civil and Mill
tary Gazette. Ho was special cor
respondent for that paper and for a
paper in Allahabad, known as the
Pioneer.
In his capacity as correspondent he
was for some months on the Indian
frontier. This experience gave him an
exceptionally good insight into the
character Of the British soldier,
Tommy Atkins" and he used this
with his own peculiar skill in many
subsequent poems.
Mr.. Kipling continued his work for
tho Gazette and the Pioneer until 1889,
travelling in the meantime when oppor-
tunity afforded. He visited China,
japan, America, Africa and Austral-
asia. He was ardently fond Of fishing
and cycling, and lost few opportunities
to indulge in those sports.
1t was in 1886. while he was in
India, that Mr.. Kipling's first literary
WIN Va hoso NPPS"tt
Departmental Ditties,' and was fol
lowed in rapid succession by others.
Classified chronologically, his sub
sequent works are as follows:
''Plain Tales from the Hills" 1887.
"Soldiers Three" "In Black and
White, 1.-THE Story of the Gadsbys, u
"Under the Deodars,n Phantom
'Rickshaw," "Wee Willie Wrinkle, u
1Ss8-s9.
"Life's Handicap" 1890.
"The Light That Failed 1891.
"Barrack- Room Ballads" 1892.
"Many Inventions" 1893.
"The Jungle Book 1894.
Second Jungle Book" 1895.
"The Seven Seas" 1896
Captains Courageous, 1897.
"The Days Work." 1898.
Mr. Kipling's literary style is marked
by an exceptional yigor and reserve
force. He has mind that naturally
seeks to portray wildly whatever il
considers worth portrayal.
