Damage Around New York VIII
Amount to Millions.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Enormous damage

New York and Pennsylvania. The greatest
sufferers have been the railways. some of
which are tied up by high water and loss of
bridges. y seventy-two-mile hurricane is
periing shipping on the Virginia coast and
in Chesapeake bay Much damage has been
done to manufacturing establishments in
New Jersey and mines in Pennsylvania.
No train arrived here to-day from Phila-
delphia on the Pennsylvania after mid
night, owing to a food at Trenton. and the
main line of the Erie Railroad was still
tied up west of Passaic. y. J. Access to
Paterson, n. j.. by steam railroad was i'm
possible.
The Passaic river was over its banks at
Newark and factories and coal and lumber
yards on the Newark water front were deep
in water. On the Morris canal at Bloom
field, y. j.. the big aqueduct broke, flood
ing the north end of the town, while the
business district was waist deep with water

ING HAVOC IN THE EAST.
Virginia Coast Strewn with Wreck
age and a Big steamer on the
Rocks Near New York.

PATERSON, n. j., Oct. 10.--The flood
situation tonight is very grave. The water
at Garfield avenue is higher by fifty inches
than the point reached in 1902. The damage
to the city is estimated to amount to over
S2.0O0,000. Crowds of men are guarding the
gate house at the mill race and at the first
intimation that the gate will break away
at Spruce street the gate house will be
water into the chasm of the Passaic falls.
The people are expecting the dam to go at
any minute and gun was fired at 10
O'Clock to give the signal of extreme dam
ger to the population.
The dam expected to collapse is the great
Dundee. Should this give way it is feared
that there will be repetition of the Johns
town disaster. The bridges in the city are
giving way one by one, causing a panic
among the people. Already tonight five
bridges have gone down under the strain
of the frightful torrent They are the
Straight street bridge. and the Hillman,
Market, Moffatt and Broadway bridges
At 10 o'clock tonight the water is within
three inches of the boiler in the Edison
electric light works. The bridge of the COM
pany is washed away. The large bridge
used by the Susquehanna Railroad is weak
ened. The company abandoned running the
trains over ii tonight. The passengers are
transferred to the other side of the bridge.
The women carried over by the en-
ployes.
A three-story house at Athena, three
miles from here, was washed away. There
were eighteen people in the building, who
were rescued with difficulty in boats.
The only death reported to-day was that
of Morris Riley, a lineman. Riley was on
the top of pole fixing some wires when
the Hood undermined the pole and 1T fell
with crash in the basin of the falls sixty
feet below, hurting Riley to instant death.

IOwa's Senior senator on the Subject

the sanction of a Republican Congress that
will so revolutioniZe our system as TO de-
prive the government itself of the substan-
tial control that IL now has and exercises

forms OF paper currency nor will any modi-
fications be made that will not provide abso-
lutte security of the notes issued by or un-
der the authority of the government and
their convertibility at the will of the holder

present conditions there is no pressing
necessity for great changes a respects our
money circulation. aud il also appears that.

sity of transferring our circulation from

san Francisco Coroner Thinks Too
Frequent Use Of Morphine.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 10.-The mystery
attaching to the death Of A. II. Kohn. the
Chicago millionaire, which occurred at the
Palace Hotel, is about dissipated. The cor
oner is convinced that Kohn's death was a
natural one, resulting from the too frequent
use of morphine. What attaches interest to
the case is that the woman with whom he
had been living, and who passed as Mrs
Kohn left for the East last night under the
name of Mrs. Webb, and il is alleged she
bears a will in her favor with her. She
said she had been secretly married TO Kohn,
and that her maiden name was Edith Webb
and her home in Kentucky.
One of the physicians who attended kohn
is authority for the statement that Kohn
told him he had married the woman several
months ago, but that he had made no will.

Railroad tunnel now being dug under the
Hudson river. They were at work in the
Hoboken end when. without warming the
water and loose earth began to rush
through the shield. and in few moments
900 feet of mud had caved in. Owen Nc
Connell was buried alive under the river
bottom. The other iaborers were taken out
unconscious.
The prevailing air pressure at the time
was only twice the normal. The ONLY thing
TO be done to stop the cavern and save
the lives of twelve men was TO instantly
increase the pressure to hold back the
water Forty pounds was thrown immedi-
ately upon the men struggling in the rap
idly rising mud and water. Mcconnell could
not get away. The others We're dragged TO
safety. but two tainted under the strain
and were carried out in time to save their

CAMDEN, Ind, Oct. 1O.-The saloon fight
at this place took another turn yesterday
when the two applicants who Were knocked
out last month again had their license no
tice published. The fight started against
the saloons at this place was for the pur-
pose of putting one saloon out of business
and then allow the other saloon to secure
license and continue business, thinking
as soon as the saloons were closed the
other man would leave town. The result
was. the starting of a social club by VIM.
Barnes. and for three weeks the town has
been wide open. If they are knocked out
next month by remonstrance, the matter
will be taken to the courts for settlement
and from this fact it is said that several
have asked to have their names taken off.
