WOES OF INTEMPERANCE' i
Vividly Depicted by Colonel John
McComb Who Points in Verse
the Path to Follow.

Colonel John McComb has a preach
ment in verse today on temperance
that clearly depicts the woes of the
man who is SO unfortunate as to be
among those who have fallen by the
lows:
RUDE REMINDER.
By JOHN MCoMB.
When the slush flows through your uppers,
And your toes begin TO churn,
Then you feel that all the scuppers
OF the tsWn are your concern;
Your temper gets ruihcd edge,
And you begin some thinking
About the time you broke your pledge
And started whiskey drinking.
The cash slipped through your finger tips,
Like sand goes through riddle,
But when the liquor passed your lips
1t warmed You down the middle;
Then your cultured thirst grew stronger
And its cost took all your dough,
While the time growing longer
Since your footwear had Il show
When the gentle spring came slowly
With its soft and melting air,
Your old rubbcrs proved too ''holy,"
And your shoes gapcd for repair;
But a burning thirst for liquor
Kept You hot along the iues,
And your movements were the quicker
When dime you got 10 use,
y -
So now YOU curse your 'bhrsted luck
Which delights to put things wrong,
For normal strength is on the buck
And your breath is growing strong;
Your understanding is too wet,
Because it's in puddle;
And frequently the drink you get
Will cause your head to muddt
And with the coming OF the birds,
Those harbingers Of summer,
You seem to hear these grating words:
"Old man, you are bummer!''
Your cash is gone, your nerves they shake,
For work you have no liking;
So now You plan which route you'll take
4 hobo to go piking.

When Colonel John McComb learned

CATACLYSMAL APPREHENSION.

ICE BROKE.

About 3 o'clock the ice that chokel
and blocked the river bed began to be
broken as the volume of water in
creased Immense pieces, many of
them appearing to be about four feet
thick and weighing, some of them,
hundreds of pounds, were rushed like
fury down the stream. They crashed
and shot against the little, but stout
bridge over BSoklyn street, shaking 1t
to it's very foundations.
The cakes of ice as they Knocked and
rubbed against the flooring of the
bridge made a rumbling roaring noise
like the roll of distant thunder. Hum
dreds of these cakes floated around in
the branch of the torrent on Brooklyn
porches of the houses.
However, all of the ice was not car
ried down the stream. A good deal
was caught under the bridge and about
the abutments. 1t quickly piled and,
blocking the rush of the waters, caused
them to seek still another outlet and
to add to the stream now merrily flow
ing through the Brooklyn street prop
critics and down the street itself. The
south side of the bridge was the next
egress, stream, but not quite so big
as the break on the north, rushing
down Brooklyn street, flooding yards,
entering cellars and submerging the
street railway tracks.
The continued piling and choking of
the ice at the bridge, could lead to but
one consequence, the sweeping of the
river over the bridge. This is what
was expected, and feared, as the climax
to the wild behavior of the stream. 1t
came about 4 o'clock, the ice and the
water knocking, off and carrying away
the guard rails of the bridge Every
thing was in the widest confusion
when this happened, for now that the
stream had leaped from its bed with
such fury there was no telling where
it would cease in it's wildness and
anger.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-03-01
WAGONS USED.

The water poured in on every side on
to the nearby properties and SO COM
pletely surrounded the houses that the
occupants became alarmed over the
fear that they would be BLOODHOUND
in their own homes. The delivery
wagon of Merchant Timothy Gilhool,
whose store was among the places
submerged, was pressed into service,
and being driven up to the doors of the
flooded homes, it received the imper-
lied ones and carried them to a retreat
of safety.
With the wild jump and rush of the
river over the bridge, all the damage
that was expected and feared and that
could be done had taken place. Four
families We're out their homes, the
Harts, Toolans and fuckers. Every
inch of ground that the river could pos
sihly break over was now being flooded,
and the danger of the bridge being
washed away was safely passed. So
the timid residents settled their fears
and either spent their time in watch
ing the rush of the waters or discuss
ing their abating.
Late tonight the situation was about
the same. The creek or mighty river,
as it now is, covers an eXpanse of sew
eral hundred feet at the Brooklyn
bridge, which it passes with fearful
velocity, for this is the end of the
creeks race down the mountain. Near
ly a dozen properties are being swept
by the stream and score more have
felt its force in flooded gardens or sub
merged cellars.
The sight of the raging creek and
the floating ice was grandly thrilling,
and all this afternoon and even after
dark the Brooklyn bridge and vicinity.
even where the water was flowing, was
thronged.
Scores of properties on the neigh
boring hills We're flooded and damaged
by the streams that came down the
mountain sides. which are as yet only
but little relieved of the snow that hides
them. With continued rain the Brook
lyn creek might be kept at a dangerous
height for week or more.
The flood in the Dundaff section
while 1t was not calculated to cause
such scare and was nothing in the
thrilling features of the Brooklyn
creek, it was not far behind in loss and
damage.
