Farmers in Florida, in the low coun-
try of South Carolina and in the south
ern part of Georgia are experimenting
with fond expectation in the cultiva-
tion of cassava and sugar cane, in the
hope of developing two ideal money

ed by the success of an experimental
cassava starch factory in Deland, Fla,
which in three years has marketed 3

ports on the high quality and yield of
sugar made from cane grown in Flori-
da and Georgia.

SYRACUSE FLOOD SWEPT

Spreads Devastation In the saline
City-Property Loss s25O,OOO.

SYRACUSE, Dec. 16.-The worst flood

yesterday when Onondaga creek rose six
feet in period of less than nine hours

from their homes by the deluge and as
many more were excited almost to a de-
gree of panic. Property was damaged
to the extent Of $2500OO. No life was
lost. so far as known.
The flood was the result of the heavy
rainfall of Saturday. The remarkably
high temperature, aided by the torrents
of warm rain that fell, melted the snow
that had accumulated on all the hills Of
central New York and this together
with the downpour found its way into
the nearest channels and the floods fol-
lowed
AS the torrents swept along they car
ried with them natural and artificial oh
stacles in the course of Onondaga creek.
and when these broke up immense areas
of water that had accumulated were add
ed to the deluge and the entire mass
swept into Syracuse. carrying everything
before il and pouring over the banks
of the creek, submerging the iowlands.
The rescuers imporyised many RATS of
sections Of sidewalk that had been float
ed by the water filing the streets. Flat
bottom boats were in great demand. but
even steam launches were finally used.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Mrs. Una

this city, committed suicide last evening
in stateroom of the Fall River line
steamer Priscilla just before the steamer
left for her Sound trip.
Mrs. Perry purchased ticket and was
assigned to a stateroom about an hour

leave. Within half an hour a steward
ess found her body hanging by cord
attached to a berth. The purser's reg

Dewey were read to him Admiral Schley
showed his pleasure and it was evident
from his manner that he regarded the
statement from Admiral Dewey as vim

make any statements concerning the
courts finding aud excused himself from
the little company which had gathered
about him, went to his apartments where
Mrs. Schley had been anXiously awaiting
