the bridge were strung the telephone
eompsny's bile and electric light wire as
well as the wires OF the Postal Union run
ming to Washington county and Bar Har-
Dor. With the biotting out OF existence
OF the two bridges and the carrying away
OF the telephone and telegraph wires
| which they carried, all means of commu-
nieation between Bangor and Brewer had
been destroyed. Tue wires OF the Western
Union to Washington county, Ellsworth,
Bar Hsrbor, Bucksport and other places
were carried on the railroad bridge. Late
Friday morning communication with
1 Ellsworth was established by way OF ST.

In Its rush the jam carried away coal
sheds, wbarves and lumber piles, and
wrought destruction ali along the water
/ front.
A jam again formed short distance be-
low the toll bridge. and the water flowed
back upon the city. Soon the water front
was several feet under water, and uer-
chants were hurryiDg goods to places of
| safety.
| The water along Front street was up to
the caves OF the wharf buildings that
form a line along the shore. The Bar
Hsrbor wharf was submerged to a depth
OF about fifteen feet, the water being SO
high as TO be tapping against the
shingles on the roof. The wharf OF the
Boston q Bangor Steamship Co. was
buried up to the caves OF the freight shed,
and the office building ives out OF sight
excepting the roof, chimney and flag pole
All along the shore from ten to fifteen
feet was the average depth OF water.
Tracks In the lower part OF the western
freight yard were all under water and
I there was solid two feet on the Broad
street crossing. The loading platform
WINS submerged, and box cars we're buried,
| roofs and all, on some OF the tracks
Both the western and Exchange street
passenger stations were flooded, and hun.
dreds OF yards Of track were submerged
Ii was impossible to run trains into either

Friday afternoon the clear ice and Jam
below the city went to sea and Saturday
forenoon the jam above went out, leaving
the Penobscot open for navigation aud
Bangor In no further danger from flood
this year. The water rapidly receded
when the lower jam went out, and Satur-
day repairs were being made along the

TWO BILLION HELLOS
STRAIN TELEPHONE TALKS IN
THIS COUNTRY YEARLY.
WONDERFUL GROWTH
Wireless Illumination and the Pro-
duction of Diamonds-A Chapter
of Marvels Along the Line of
Electric Development and De-
vices.

Washington, Sept. THE capital
employed in telephone systems in the
country Is estimated at 100000, 900.
Two billion conversations per year are
recorded. The growth of telephony
since the expiration of the Bell patents
has been wonderful, especially in the
northwest. In 1900 the United States
showed per capita of one telephone
in forty. In San Francisco the per
capita of one telephone in forty. In
San Francisco the per capita is one
telephone in twelve, a rate that leads
the world.
But this is only an incident of the
new age of electricity which is now
here. review of the development
of the electrical industry in the form
of a census bulletin prepared by
Thomas Commerford Martin, just is
sued, shows growth in invention and
industry as applied to transportation,
illumination. transmission of speech
and of power that is nothing less than
astounding. Moreover, It hints of
new discoveries and improvements
that promise to make a still more
marvellous record. In this connection
consideration is had of wireless teleg-
raphy, automatic telegraphy, teleau-
tographic devices, wireless illumina-
ton, and. most wonderful of all, to the
lay mind, the manufacture of dia-
monds.
The bulletin is very exhaustive and
tells the universal Improvement
that has taken place in every branch
of electrics. Most of this improve
ment-the most striking features of
power development, automobilism
Xray photography. etc.--has taken
place during the latter half of the past
decade, and even within the past two
years. So swift is the growth, so as
tonishing the variety of new devices,
that even as the historian writes. his
story becomes antiquated as com
pared with the improvement that
takes place while his book is in press.
He notes the production of 100000
tons of copper electrolytically during
1899, but can no more than hint of the
discoveries whereby aluminium, cal
cium carbide, carborundum, sodium.
graphite, and hundred and one chem
icals are produced. He notes that So
600 horsepower of the electrical ener-
gy is now used at Niagara Falls in the
production of chemicals and reducing
metals.
The value of electrical products
manufactured in 1900 was only $91,-
34S,SS9. The total capital invested in
the manufacture Of electrical appara.
tus and appliances is only SS3,13O.943.
The industry is in its mere infancy. In
the seven branches ofelectric railways
lighting, telegraphy, telephony, motive
power, generation and signaling, IL
$50 patents have been issued in the
past twenty-five years. During the four
and half years from 1896 to June.
1900, no fewer than 6.796 patents were
taken out. The most prolific inven-
tors, according to the number of pat
ents issued, were Thomas A. Edison.

He rode past, holding the lantern
still in his hand, giving last back
ward glance at the dreary house,
which interested him and filled him
with curiosity to know what people,
mad or sane, lived there, The descent
now became very steep, and mindful
of the hotelkeeper's warning, Anna
thwaite proceeded with the greatest
caution, peering forward into the dark
ness, his lantern held now high, now
low, watching eagerly for the junction
with the coach-road. The snow was
now falling in larger fakes than ever,
and Just as man and horse got on to
more level ground the animal slipped
and fell with his rider into a deep
drift by the side of the road. Arma-
thwaite soon extricated both himself
and the horse. but in the tumble the
lantern had fallen from his hand He
recovered 1t after much cropping, the
wind being too high for the matches.
which he struck rapidly one after the
other to aid him in his search The
glass proved to be broken and the
wick damp, so that after a few vain
attempts to re-light 1t and a little
muttered strong language, he used his
last match in trying to light his pipe.
and falling in that also as a gust of
wind came swooping down upon him
and put out the weak little flame. he
laughed aloud to assure the wind
amiably that he was not CONQUERED
after all. and taking the horse by the
bride with a few encouraging words
proceeded to lead him, as the safest
means OF progression until the road
should be safely reached.
How to know when It was reached
that was the question. Armathwaite
felt that the tumble had made him
lose his bearings. and 1t was only by
the direction of the wind that he was
able to fix with any certainty the
course he was keeping. It seemed to
be growing darker. too, while the
snow began to fall less thickly and
the wind to blow with less violence.
Then Kissing and cracking on each
side OF him reused his attention OF
the fact that he was among sparseIv-
scattered trees, and at the same time
the unevenness of the ground told him
that he was off the road. He STONED
a moment. and, tying his horse to a
tree, proceeded a little way ahead 10

something which he took for a high

wall with rapid steps, and had reached
the bushes. when a figure moved
quickly out from behind them. raised
a lantern high in the air. and cried:
stop"
Armathwaite, with sharply-drawn
breath, reeled backwards. horror
struck and bewildered. For, bv the
light of the lantern. he saw that what
he had taken for a wall was the dark
water of the lake, into which n mo-
ment later he would have stumbled.
while In the countenance OF the
woman who had preserved him his
excited fancy made him see the
DREAMY eyes and sad expression of
the unknown face which had appeared
TO him In his vision by the fire.

DIPLOMATS SON SHOOTS

Washington. Nov. 21.-The State De-
partment has been informed that God
frey Hunter Jr., son of the United
States Minister at Guatemala City, to-
day shot and killed William Fitzgerald
OF Grand Rapids, Mich. Hunter has
taken refuge in the Legation and an
interesting question has arisen as to
his exemption from arrest.
Important details are lacking In the
report OF the affair which has come
to the State Department, and the off,
cials are in doubt as to what should
be done. They have no notion OF sur
rendering without protest an American
citizen to the local courts Of Guatema.
Ia unless satisfied that the man is a
proper subject for punishment. Even
then 1t Is not at all certain that the de-
partment itself has the right to waive
any legal exemption that the man
might have. International law lays
down the precept that an ambassador
or Minister may not of his own accord
surrender any such exemption In his
own case.
