For Another Erie cutoF.

A dispatch t0the New York Tri-
5lme and other city papers from
susquehanna sayss The Erie Rail-
read company has a large force OF
civil engineers at work upon lis Deli
aware division surveying fora cutoff
between Port Jervis, N. Y, and
Lackawaxen, Penn'a. 1t is expected
that the road will be shortened y
miles between the two points named,
and a heavy grade and several
bridges will be avoided. It is stated
that cutoff will also be resurveyed
by the Erie from Lackawaxen, Pa,
across Wayne county in Uniondale
on the Jefferson division Of the road,
thence TO Susquehanna, where twill
again return to the main fine. The
company win thus connect its Homes
dale and jefferson divisions and
shorten its road 20 miles. The pres
sent nmin line between Lackawaxen
and Susquehanna would thereafter be
used principally for coal and freight.
The distance by rail from Port Jer-
Wis to IacSawaxen is about twenty
three miles, the air line distance is
about twelve miles, SO to shorten the
line twelve miles would be 70 make
it an sir line. Every one knowns
this is just as impossible as it is q
straighien the river between those
points. But then Of just such stuh
are many dispatches from susque-
hanna.

making in his travels in the east.
A reception was recently rendered

made. He, with great difficulty
and muniiicent outlay, succeeded
in securing these priceless and
sacred objects from priests In charge
of Buddhist temples in many east.

Travelled in quest of gems, cameos,
and engraved objects. This coilee-
ton presented, unsurpassed for It's
beauty because OF the rare judg-
ment and extensive knowledge OF
the eminent glyptologist, who has
devoted years of study and research
in pursuit of Oriental engraved
gems, is valued at more than a hall
million dollars aside from the value
of the Buddhist objects presented
all of which will be installed in the

The Delaware overfo'ved its
banks and was sight to behold, but
the large bridge across the river
near the town was in no wise af-
fected The water did not reach
within ten feet Of the floor. The
sawkin tails we're magnificent
sight. The water filled the gorge
above and came down in mighty
torrent thuDdering over the preci.
pice and filling the chasm below,
while q beautiful rainbow spanned
the whole giving evidence as Of
yore shat the rain had ceased. The
stand pipe of the water company
became filled and for while the
supply was cut off from town.
Water was abundant everywhere
and several cellars in town we're
flooded and fires in furnaces
quencbed.
In many parts Of the state great
damage was done. Bridges, houses,
and roads were swept away. Fac
tories we're stopped, railroads wash
ed out, telephone and telegraph
wires torn down, farms inundated,
mines flooded. people driven from
their homes and many thousands of
dollars worth OF damage done. It
was the greatest food which has
happened in this state in forty
years.
Trains on the Erie were delayed
by the flood and several washouis
occurred along the line. AT one
time Port Jervis WIS in darkness
because Of the flooding of the cleo
trio light plant. A wreck on the
Erie occurred last Saturday at Run
dies ourve near rri- States, in which
Il brakeman was killed and a mum
her of cars destroyed. Dams above
Honesdale we're washed out and
several buildings and factories
swept away. Hawley was also in

sohley oOurs Of Inquiry RepOrt.

schley Court of Inquiry Report.
The following is taken from the
main report of the naval court of
inquiry:
Commodore Schley should not
have made the retrograde turn
westward with his squadron. He
should have promptly obeVed the
navy departments order of May 25.
He should have endeavored to
capture OF destroy the Spanish yes
sells at anchor near entrance OF San
tiago harbor on May 20 and 80.
He did not do his utmost with the
force under his command 20 capture
or destroy the Colon and other YES
sells Of the enemy which he attack
ed on May 81.
By commencing the engagement
on July with the port battery and
turning the Brooklyn around with
port helm Commodore Schley caus-
ed her to lose distance and position
with the Spanish vessels, especially
with the Vizcaya and Colon.
The turn of the Brooklyn to star
board was made to avoid getting
her into dangerous proximity to the
Spanish vessels. The turn was made
towards the Texas and caused that
vessel to stop and to back her en-
gines to avoid possible collision.
Commodore Schley's conduct in
connection with the events of the
Santiago campaign prior to June /,
1898, was characterized by vacilla-
ton, dilatoriness and lack Of enter
prise.
His conduct during the battle of
July was self possessed, and he
encouraged in his own person his
subordinate officers and mel to fight
oourageously.

Commodore Schley was the senior
officer of our squadron when the
Spanish squadron attempted to es-
cape on the morning of July 3, 1898.
He was IN absolute command and is
entitled to the credit due to such

victory which resulted in the total

Holy Noses, what a flood struck

siding near streams will prepare an
ark hereafter.
The prevailing question How
and which way did you get here?
We regret to here Of the sudden
deth OF William Kimball Of Mata-
moras. He meant to be a very good
fellow.
Sam. went quietly off and got
married, and for once the boys did
not catch on the first evening and
give the customary serenade.
Now if we wait a little while we
can find out how a prosecution for
trespass will work over in Montague.
A case will be tried shortly at
Hainesville when all the ifs aud
ands will be explained.
Everybody is now getting ready
to properly celebrate Christmas.
The prevailing complaint: A
cough closely resembling the
whooping cough. Have you had itP
Question Where are you going
to get your ice?
VIM. Struble, disguised with the
action of the water, contemplates
furnishing power for his mill with
a modern engine.
Hope all the readers of the Press,
the editor and even the devil"
will have merry Christmas.
The Sunday schools Of the differ
ent churches are preparing for suit
able entertainments, and the young
sters are waiting for their presents.
The few remaining turkeys are

why No. ohangs .he Road 3


Now that the bridge where the
old turnpike crosses the sawkill be-
tween Dingman aud Milford town
ships near the Htmilton farm is
gone together with considerable
section of the road. it might be we'll
for the people to consider a change
in the location of the road to avoid
four bad hills. one at the Pinchot
place. one at the Hamilton place,
one at W. FL Warmers aud enc at
Tbompson's Why not select some
point somewhere between the
SHchler place and Kinkel's and lay
tha road from the turnpike across
to the Schocopee road in Milford
township? Il is IN order to make
improvements on all Foads where
possible ana even though tbs imme-
diate cost may be more the advau-
tage OF an easier aud better road is
for all timeand it should be the aim
TO improve as far as conveniently
may be done, the roads by better 10.

There is almost unanimous disap-
pointment at the report Of the Scnley
court OF inquiry which, by its general
report, condems Admiral Schley on
almost every count in the s.precept"
but which is accompanied by a min
GRITTY report sigued by Admiral
Dewey and exonemtiug Scnley on
tvery count. Admiral Senley and
his friends profess TO be much grati-
fled that the hero Of Manila should
have declared him guiltless. Attor-
ney Raynor expresses himself as sad
ly disappointed aud believes that the
admiral should now seek redress by
a libel suit in the civil courts. AS a
matter Of fact, after an the expense
and turmoil Of the court Of inquiry,
the matter is left very much where
it was before the Investigation was
begun and it is extremely probably
that a congressional investigation
viii be considered unavoidable.

December 18th has been fixed by
both houses as the date Of adjourn
ment and Il is quite probable that 1t
will be impossible for the senate to
take up and enact the tariff bill on
the one day remaining after its pas
sage by the house, but some of the
friends Of the measure tell me that
inaslnuch as the bill was practically
completed on Friday they are trying
to get the senators to consider its
provisions before its formal passage
by the house so that they may be
ready for immediate action ON We'd
nesday. If the senate consents to
such hasty action it will be unpre.
cedented and will be taken only as a
result Of the pressing need Of the
government Of bill providing rev.
enue for the defrayment Of the ex-
penses Of the Philippine islands.

1t is unlikely that further legisia-

before holiday recess with the p0ssi-

the house tariff bill which will piss
the latter body on Wednesday.
