/ I: Yesterday was a succession Of
floods in different portions of the city.
IN the morning only portion Of the
city south of thea Raccon river was
under water. The new Cliften Heights
addition, which lies along the Des
Moines and just south of the Raccoon,
was protected by a high dixie and was
thought to be safe. This addition COM
prises several hundred acres and
about 200 houses costing from $500 to
$4,000. A small break in the dixie
drove all the people from their homes
and the water continued to rise all day
until many Of the houses newly built
were standing in two feet of water. -

Of homeless food sufferers spent
Thursday night in schoolhouse yards
and in downtown parks without so
much as blanket to cover them.
Some had to beg for food, although
every possible effort is being taken to
provide for them. The charitable so-

Neither the Des Moines nor the Rae

The net decline since the highest point
was reached is but two or three inches,
and the Des, Moines actually rose a half
inch during the night. It is believed
the situation in the flooded district
cannot be materially relieved for
eral days and that when the water
finally reaches it's former channel an
epidemic of malaria and typhoid fever
will prevail. An estimate Of the dam
age at this time is practically impos-
sible. It is expected to reach a mill

Several hundred houses are partial
ly under water and a few have been
carried off their foundations. The
worst part of the food began at three
o'clock in the morning, when the
levees and bikes south of the city be-
gan to give way. The police were on
the alert and hundreds of families in
that vivcinity were warned Of the APP
preaching danger. Most of them
made their escape in safety, but a
few were obstinate and laughed at the
men sent to warn them. AS the wa
ters began to lap around outside of
their houses they became aware
something unusual was going on and
began to leave. It was necessary to
place some under.arrest, however, and
carry them away in: boats to save
them from drowning. = ~

TIL. Horse World of London.

An ingenious writer has been making
a curious computation respecting the
wheels in London. He points out that
it takes 300, 900 horses to move these
wheels Within radius Of twelve
miles there are 500 miles OF railway
running through 700 stations, and be-
tween morning and night the trains
running over these carry 100000 pas
sengers But the street vehicles tray
ell twenty times as far as the trains
every day and carry more passengers.
for though the latter travel 2o,ooo
miles every twentyfour hours the
street carriages daily accomplish
tourney equal to twenty times the
circumference of the globe. Ihe
buses and trans move 100000 pas
sengers from place to place every day
while 10000 people ride about IN
cabs and $4,000 in private carriages

3 Last week workmen began rearing
ssdown the old De Lancey house, on
Heathcote Hill, near Mamaroneck, n
Z. The property had been sold IN
partition proceedings, and had passed
out OF the possession OF the last OIL
the De I.ancey heirs.
The house was built in 1872 on a
high knoll overlooking the inlet. and
ON the site of a brick house erected In
1897 and burned just be'pre the heuc-
lutionary war. The original house,
known as Heathcote Manor. was oc-
cupied by Col. William Heathcote, an
early settler and slave owner The
house was nearly surrounded, 1t Is
said by the quarters occupied by COZ.
Heathcotes slaves. After the death
I.ancey one of the heirs, bought the
interests of his cousins. De l-ancey
had been a captain in the BRUSH
army. but in 1899 he resigned his COM
mission. ---arrfli went to Mamaroneck.

When the marriages in certain

the authorities hit upon curious IN
ducement for tardy couples to sesH
the matrimonial altar. They publciy

within certain time would be exempt

five years. A marriage fever swepc

A well-known Austrian nobleman
was anxious TO encourage matrlmohy
among the peasants on his estate. ne
undertook to provide every PRIDE
groom with tobacco for life and every

offer acted like charm. and soon
there was scarcely an unmarried man
on the. estate. Nearly every ehslOls

In one of the earlier visits of James
Cooper. afterward the first great AM
erican novelist, to whose Original
name Fenimore was added by act OF
legislature when he was thirtY-seFeh
wears old to Westminster county, ne
became acquainted with Susan. Joh1
Peter De Lancey's second daughter,
and the friendship soon ripened into
a more tender regard. Cooper sool
became a frequent visitor to the DE
Lancey homestead. and on New
Years day. 1911. was married to the
Young woman of his choice, probably
I'm the house now being destroyed.
Nobody in Mamaroneck is positive
that Cooper was married in the house,
but his biographers have no cause 10
doubt that the wedding was celebrat-
ed at the home Of his bride. The fact
that many of Cooper's friends and
admirers deprecated his marriage into
q Tory family seems consistent with
the belief that he was wed in Mr.. De
Lancey's house. There seems to be
ample reason for believing that the
old parIor was the scene of mis- mar
riaee as well as of his courtship.
The demolition of the De Lancey
bouse leaves onlv one monument Of
the eighteenth century in the Viclnlty
of Namaroneck. Almost directly
across the Boston Post Road from the
De Lancey house is the massive stone
chimney of the Disbrow house, bulli
in 1877 and burned only few years
ago. This chimney Is carefully pre-
served by the owner of the land or
which it stands, and may last an as'
on account of its solid construction
and broad base. unless vandal han'
has it demolished to make way 10
so-called improvements.
