If ransom is paid for the release of
Miss Stone, the missionary, it will not be
the first instance where this country has
bought off captives. The trouble with
the dey of Algiers, which continued from
1885 to about 1905, grew out of some
what similar circumstances. Shortly
after the revolution the Algerine pirates
began making regular business of
capturing American ships and sailors.
At one time they held as prisoners one
hundred and eighty officers and seamen,
who were treated with the most revolt
ing cruelty. In 1896 the United States
made treaty with the dey. By its
terms we agreed to pay him 100000 for
all the captives still alive, give him a
frigate worth 100000 and an annual
tribute of $4,000 in maritime stores
And these conditions were complied with
up to the war of 1912.

the raising Of those near the Market
street bridge, had. allowed the water in
the lower end of the race to subside to
great extent. When first seen by Mr..
Lapsley, the body was near the middle
of the race, the head pointed down the
stream. He went to LEAFS Mills and
reported his discovery, and procuring a
rake went back to the scene and drew
the body near shore.
There ii lay until Police Captain
George Black and Court Officer William
Heal had arrived from the police
station. Officers Floyd and Paulman
had reported the case to headquarters.
The captains first thought was that it
might be Mr.. Satterthwaite, the sandy
moustache being clue. 1t did not
take long to establish the fact, for
while the body still lay partly In the
water, Caft. Black examined the open
faced gold watch and found the initials
IN. f.. S. y on the back, and fleur de

chain. He and Mr.. Lapsley removed

identity was then further established

the race bank occurred. Whether he fell
in or jumped in ia not known.
In addition to the watch and chain,
on the body were found an English

THE BRANDYWlNE FLOOD.
Damage Resulted From High Water a
Various Points Along the Stream.

Damage Resulted From High Water at
Various Points Along the Stream.
The food in the Brandywine Mon
day afternoon did much damage at
various points along the stream The
water was higher than for decade.
The bridge at Chadd's Ford was
washed away about noon and other
small bridges across races were also
carried away Water encIoached upon
mills all along the stream, and in some
places extinguished the fires, but aside
from stoppage of work for half a day
and deposits of mud, the damage to
mills was not serious. Some trees we're
washed away in Brandywiue' Park and
walks were dis6gured, but the extent
of the damage there cannot be as :er-
tanned until a thorough examination
be made,
About 20 feet Of the bank il Leafs
race short distance above Washington
street bridge vas washed away and the
high water from the Brandy wine rushed
down the race to the mills, and much
damage resulted there. At the plant Of
the Diamond ice Co., Thirteenth and
Lombard streets, wat " also entered the
buildings and necessitated the shutting
dnwn of the plant until Tuesday.
Much mud was deposited on the floors,
but no great damage was done. Other
mills had about the same experiences,
and wharyes along the stream were
washed aud wood and other material
carried away. A barge was torn from
its moor ings and dashed against the
Golfer dam at Seventh street bridge,
WHICH is heing rebuilt, and did damage
to the extent of 81, 600.
All Of the lowlands on the north side,
OF the Brandywine enst of Market street
bridge and over Eleventh street bridge
were flooded and the occupants of many
small houses in the latter locality were
compelled TO flee for safety. In most
instances they succeeded in placing
their household effects on the upper
floors and we're able to leave the houses
before the water got TOO high. In some
cases they used boats in getting away.
Andrew Fulmele, an old boatman at
Eleventh street bridge, had thrilling
experience. His cabin was carried
away but he succeeded in getting it to
place where he could land. The water
reached NJ. II School and flooded the
basement and surrounding ground.
Many buildings were damaged and q
few small outhouses were carried away.
Where the Brandywine runs along
the Wilmington a Northern railroad it
resembled rapid and eIything
within reach was carried away. At
times the railroad banks we're threat
ened, but no serious damage was done
to them. Cedar Knoll dam burst and
added to the fury Of the raging waters.
While Edgar Rice of Mortonville,
Pa, was driving across the stream at a
point which is usually shallow his
horses were washed down With the cur
rent and drowned, but Mr.. Rice sue
ceeded in saving himself. ~ A
