THE BROOKLYN ICE GORGE.

The Brooklyn creek, which has cut
up all sorts of capers this winter, is
frozen up, and over, and across again
in the vicinity of the bridge over
Brooklyn street, at Gilhool's store.
The illustration gives an idea of the
soidity and depth of the mass under
and near the bridge. The bed of the
creek is a mass of frozen snow and
ice, and in the vicinity of the bridge
it has a depth of about fiveGeet. The
water that is confined in Wis mass
would fill good-sized stream. The
ice reached to within eighteen inches
of the bridge, and it is yet this near
on the north side. On the south side,
as will be seen in the illustration, II
channel has been cut and shoveled out
in order to give some outlet to the
water when the thaw begins. This
wise precaution was taken by City
Engineer Kupp and Street Foreman
John killeen early this week.
A good deal of concern is felt among
the residents in the vicinity of the
bridge over the possible behavior of
the confined mass of ice and snow. If
there should be a sudden thaw, in
which continued rains would be an ele-
ment, then damage, and a great deal
of it, would be sure to follow The
water, because of it being blocked at
the outlet into the Lackawanna, a
couple of hundred feet south of the
bridge, would be certain to overflow

tinue for four weeks, was formally
opened by the Redemptorist fathers

The opening sermon was delivered by
Father Hannell, a forceful speaker
who explained the object of the mis-
sion by saying it was the means of
renewing the good promises made at
the mission last spring; also that it
was u rare season of good for those
who may not have made the last mis-
sion and for the reformation and re-
conciliation of those who fell away
since the last period of prayer and pen
ance conducted by these same fathers

a little today and little tomorrow and
so on, and finally the nerve cells are
slowly broken down and then Nature
begins the call for help.
1t is safe proposition that if n man
or woman has headaches, stomach
trouble, or any such ailments come on
at intervals, something is wrong with
the food or drink, and this question
should be investigated carefully, for
health is the best capital anyone can
possess and wilfully breaking it down
Is a piece of childish folly.

and flood the surrounding properties
on either side of the stream, as was
true of the overflow several weeks ago
If. on the other hand, the breaking-up
be gradual, 1t is likely that the melting
ice and snow will disappear with no
trace of disaster.
The cause of these recurring block
ades is attributed to the abutments
built at the end of the creek, just be-
low the Brooklyn bridge, by the Della
ware and Hudson company a long time
ago. These abutments were built to
prevent the rush of water from the
creek into the river as it caused some
interference with the supply of water
that went into the old pump house in
that vicinity. This narrowing of the
outlet, 1t appears, prevented the dis
charge of gravel and sand carried
down the creek from the mountain side.
This dirt has been accommodating for
some time, narrowing and filing the
course of the stream until now, when
ice and snow are confined in the
blocked and narrow stream until
warm thaw, causes an overflow, such
as was witnessed recently. The city
son company with negligence, and for
this reason will take no radical steps
to remedy the trouble, as this could
be interpreted under the law as re-
sponsibility for the condition of the
stream and the damages following each
flood

The EVE OF ELECTION.
Republican Committee at End of a
Splendid Canvass, the Most Per-
sistent in Years-Democrats Hope
full of Victory,

This is the eve of what will likely
prove to be the most spirited election
ever held in Carbondale. The Repub-
lican primaries We're the hottest contest
in the towns political history and the
spirit will be sure to be livelier when
the candidates of both parties measure
their strength tomorrow.
The city Republican committee was
never better organized than this spring
and in no canvass was there so much
energy and application than in the one
in progress since the middle of Janu-
airy, when the committee reorganized
for this year. Perhaps the best plan
ever adopted for getting out the vote
was employed this year. and so we'll
has it worked in bringing forth assur-
ances from Republican voters that
they will be at the polls tomorrow
that it can be safely predicted that the
heaviest vote of the party will be polled
tomorrow. Such an intelligent, earnest
and persistent canvass cannot but be
the biggest factor in the result of the
days battle, and this is why there is
so much hopefulness and such a SAN
guine feeling of complete Republican
victory in tomorroW's election.
AS an eleventh hour injunction. the
committee reminds voters that Repub-
lican success depends on the party
fulfilling the assurances which have
been given the committee, through the
medium employed by the organization,
to be faithful and loyal to the princi-
pies of the party, thereby bringing de-
served victory to the whole Republican
ticket, from mayor down to the least
important ward office.
The Democrats have also made q
persistent canvass and the candidates
assert that they have every reason to
be victorious.
Interest in any election was never
keyed to such high pitch. The town
is wrapt in the discussion of the days
results, and in numerous places wagers
have been posted In one pool made
up at the Harrison house there is 500
on the mayoralty result. Another bet
of $50 on each SIDE on the same result.
was made by two prominent business
ment. There are also numerous small
bets posted about the town.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
Honesdale Man in the Toils-Taken
by Constable Neary, on Complaint
Of Prominent Honesdale Mer-

chant.
A man whom Constable Nearv is
certain is George ii. Bell who is
wanted in Honesdale, for passing Il
forged check, was arrested by that OIL
Ger on Saturday night.
The complaint on which Bell was ar
rested was made before Squire Ham
by Herman Scheuerholz, u leading mer-
chant of Honesdale Scheuerholz claims
he was victimized by Bell, who came
into his store on Friday or Saturday
and presented II check for $13 signed
ostensibly by Reiler Bros, who are
owners of the acid factory located just
outside of Honesdale. This company's
credit is such that Mr.. Scheuerholz had
no hesttancy in honoring the check.
However, he did not pay the full sum
to Bell. all but fifteen dollars. When
the check was presented for payment
by Scheuerholz it was declared to be n
forgery.
Bell, or the man who it is believed is
the same, was arrested by Constable
Neary on Saturday night, and if he
proves to be Bell, of which the con-
stable seems certain. his arrest will be
quite compliment to this officers
alertness and keenness. All that the
constable had was the meagre descrip-
tion telephoned by the Honesdale Off
Gals during the day-Saturday. On re-
ceipt of the information, Neary set out,
and soon had a clue to the supposed
Bells whereabouts The officer was
standing at the corner of Main street
and Salem avenue, when he saw one
who looked like his man. He placed
him under arrest and took him to the
city jail, amid vigorous protests. Be
fore he was placed in a CELL Bell de.
MED with vehemence that he was the
Bell who was wanted. He was Charles
Bell, he said; not George Bell. He said,
further, that he was not from Homes
dale, and that he had never been there
He had no knowledge, whatever, of any
check transaction.
The prisoner, who had been drinking
some. intended to leave for Scranton on
the II O'Clock train. He had on his per-
son two watches and pictures OF two
men who are supposed to be from
Honesdale. Bell will be taken to Hones-
dale this morning by Constable Neary.

 Ed L. Weston had voice of clear and rich tone, that won favor with the house and made him the favorite.

ARK ANsAs GOVERNOR TO
 STUMP MISSOURI

Governor Davis has accepted an invitation to deliver a series of Demo cratic campaign speeches in Missouri. The governor has received from Chairman Will A Rothwell of St. Louis of the Democratic state central committee letter which says:
 eff you can spare the time we would like to know if you will kindly consent to make few speeches for us before the close Of the campaign. On behalf of the state committee extend you an invitation to do this and urgently re- quest that you assist us if possible. l believe you could fill appointments at Sikeston, Maiden and New Madrid in two days, at the most in three days. If you could give us more time than this we would appreciate it very high ly, but in case you cannot l hope you
 will see your way clear to make the above appointments.
 As next week will see the closing of the campaign, the election being on November 4, Governor Davis will go to Missouri early in the week.
 The governor is the recipient of an invitation from United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew and James H. Hyde to attend dinner to be given at Sherry's in New York November 5 in honor of Jules Cambon, ambassador from France to the United States.
