HAGERSTOWN, Nd, April s.-Thin
section Of the Cumberland valley is
walled in with snow, which covers
mountain ranges north and south to a
depth Of from three to five inches as
a result of the recent storm. The
rainfall was heavy, causing sudden
rise in the Potomac river and other
streams. The Potomac is swollen
about six feet. and is still rising.
with every indication of the stream
getting wild and doing damage. The
banks Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal are being watched at points
where the river bounds the towpath.
Other streams are nearly out of their
banks. but no damage Is reported.
Reports from the famous South
Mountain peach belt Indicate that In
jury has been done to the early fruit
by the freezing weather. The early
buds had been forced almost open BY
the recent warm weather, and the
sudden change with the temperature
falling to freezing came at such time
as to do considerable injury. Up to
this time there was every prospect OF
q large crop Of peaches this summer.

Acting Governor StOddard has made quick wori of the distribution of the revised statutes. The carload of books was received here on August l5. On the following Monday, the 18th, they became the property of the territory, and by Saturday night, August 3l, one had been sent to every justice of the peace in the territory, every member of the legislature, every district attor- uey and board of supervisors and to every other person designated by the statutes as entitled to a free copy. There have been sold lO5 copies, and the proceeds, $525, will be turned over to the territorial treasurer tomorrow. There are other officials who may re. ceive free copies under the law defin- ing the duties of the secretary, but that has not yet been finally determined.- Republican.

4 Prince1y Gift.

Charlie Wilde, the efficient railway mail clerk on the c. w., c. & N., re ceived letter last week from W. c. Greene, president of the Greene Con- solidated Mining Company, in which was inclosed check for $l, 900 to assist Charlie in his ambition to obtain a better education. The gift was com plete surprise, but is in keeping with Mir. Greene's well-known generosity and regard for his friends. Charlie's acquaintance with his benefactOr dates from the early eighties, when they were neighbors living on the San Pedro, when d thousand dollars would probably looked as large to Mir. Greene as it does now to Wilde.
 A short time ago Charlie met Mir. Greene at Bowie and during their con. versation casually remarked that he felt the need of better education. Charlie attached no importance to the meeting further than the pleasure it gave him. When the check came, with the characteristic message, "Turn yOur- self lOose," Charlie was so overcome that he almost fell out of the mail car.
 He will most likely ask for six months leave of absence from the postal service and go to New York to take course of study in business cOllege.-Silver Belt

Chief of Police l.. w. Gilman of Ban

home on the 1880 train with George
Draper. alias Bert Libby. who is
charged with the rape of 9-years-old
Sirl in Bangor. This man. who gave
his name in this vicinity as George
Libby. was arrested in Bingham for
attempted rape and having escaped
from the officers attempted to get
away by swimming the Kennebec. He
was stopped. however, by crew Of
river drivers and returned to the Off
cer@. This occurred nearly three
months ago and Libby has since been
in The county Jail. An Indictment hav-
ing been found against him. he could
thea be taken to Bangor to answer for
the first charge. on which he viii
doubtless be sentenced. as the State
has clear case against him. His sen
tence. it is expected. will be sufficiently
long to provide for him for the re-
mainder of his life but in case it is
not he will later be tried here for at
tempted rape.

JOSEPH OU!LLITTE MISSING.
Believed That He Was Drowned in Holdings.
worth & Whitney Canal.

Joseph Ouillctte, an employee of the
Hollingsworth & Whitney Co. is be
lieVed to have been drowned in the
canal. Friday night. He was at work
on the slip and was alone at the time
of the accident, so it is not known how
it happened. He was missed during
the night and his hat was found
against the racks. 50 it is supposed
that he must have in some way fallen
in and drowned. Up to Saturday night
the body had not been found and it
was then thought that the services of
a diver would be necessary.
Mr.. Ouillette was a steady. indus
trious man. much liked by his compan-
ions. He was married and lived with
his wife and one child at No. Gray
street.
\ diver was at work. yesterday. in
the canal Of the Hollngsworth &
Whitney Co. in search of the body Of
Joseph ouillette. who is supposed to
have been drowned there, Friday
night. The search. although caYl led out
very thoroughly. failed to locate the
body and there are som" doubling
Thoma ScS in the city who profess to
believe that there is no body there.
Mi Ouillette has certainly disappeared
but there is no positive proof that he
WAS drowned. or a least this was the
case, Sunday night. The fact that he
disappeared near the slip and that his
hat was found on the rocks lead to TIL"
conclusion that he had been drowned
Thus far no good motive for the di APP
pcaranCe, if it is this, has been To-
Gated.
The friends of Mr.. Ouillettc will take
no stock in this idea of disappearance
and say that they know of no reason
th2t would cause the man to act in this
way. Those who know him best have no
doubt but that he has been drowned
He was a hard working man. a good
husband and father. He had always
taken excellent care of his family ard
was apparently happy and well con-
tent.
