AN ICE GORGE
Dams Youghio gheny River and Threat
ems Immense Damage.

Pittsburg. Pa. Jan. 30.-Hemmed in
by an ice gorge packed solidly for five
miles, the water of the Youghigheny
river has backed up into the small
streams of the Youghiogheny valley
and caused the suspension of mines
and other industries along the river
and the obstruction Of the Pittsburg,
McKeesport & Connellsville Traction

ton, the ice is banked into a barrier
which reaches height of SO feet in
some places. All the bridges between
these points are being strengthened
as precaution against serious dam
age when the gorge begins to move.

dating back to the Civil War, and
few originated prior to that time The
latter We're for balances due for carry

broke out.
Payne was particularly insistent in
his opposition to these bills, calling
attention to the exposure of the fraud
ulent character of many similar claims
in the 45th Congress. He expressed
the opinion that all these claims had
been PAID before. The members in
terested stood together, however, and
voted him down every time he demand
ed division.
There were several bills to reim-
burse postmasters and internal revenue
collectors for stamps lost or stolen. One
was to pay the balance on a contract

Defense Won.

Bar Harbor, Me-The naval search
problem, which began when Rear Ad-
miral Barker took up the plan of de-
Tending the Maine coast from "hos-
tile feet, which put to sea under Rear
Admiral Sands, ended when the Olym-
pia. the flagship of the defending
feet, discovered and intercepted the
white squadron" of the enemy, head
ed at full speed for Winter harbor.
The hostile vessels were running in
close order formation and had not the
fog lifted at favorable moment it is
thought the enemy would have eluded
those on guard. AS it turned out, be.
fore her concerts could reach the
scene in answer to her signals, the
Olympia had been forced to fly the
white flag and consider herself cap
tured or destroyed by the commander.

Principal Business Portion Destroyed
Two Business Houses Left. +.
Brewster, Wash, Aug 10.-Fire has
destroyed the principal business por-
ton of this town. Only two business
houses are left standing. The loss is
about $4,000, with a total insurance
of $4,000.
Brewster is located on the Columbia
river, near the mouth of the Okanogan
river, and is town of about 200 in
habitants.
The fire originated In DR.. McKinley's
drug store. Flames were first discover
ed coming from the front of the drug
store. The most generally accepted
theory is that the extreme heat of the
sun against the glass of the show win
dow caused some Of the chemicals to
explode and start the blaze.
The wind was strong, and despite
the heroic work Of the men and use
of innumerable so called fire ex-
tinguishers, the fire gained rapidly and
soon had three fourths Of the town
wrapped in flames.

the cleaning cross which preceded the
oortege was seen 1t was greeted with
great applause. On the appearance Of
the pontiff himself 1t seemed as though
the people would seek to carry him in
their arms, SO great was their enthu-
siasm..
Cries Of Plus, our pope, our father
and ."Leng live Plus x" were raised,
Notwithstanding the large placards
posted all over the basilica saying
rAcclamations are forbidden" RS
Leaflets to the same effect were dis
tributed among the crowd. The cries
continued until the pontiff was COM
PEELED to rise and bless the multitude
and at the same time he made a sign
for more reverential behavior. Silence
was enforced when the choir an
nounced its entrance with the "Ecce
Sacerdos Magnus," which was accom-
panied by the sweet notes of the silver
trumpets.
A quaint ceremony was then carried
out. The master of ceremonies knelt
three times before the pontiff, each
time lighting handful of hemp, which
surmounted silver torch, and as the
flames rushed up and went out he
said:
holy father, thus passeth away the
glory of the world"
The procession then proceeded, the
pope's face meanwhile illuminated by
a smile. At the chapel of the sacra-
ment there was another halt and his
holiness left the sedia chair and pray
ed at the altar. On reentering the
chair he was carried to the chapel of
st. Gregory, where he officiated at
mass, being assisted by Cardinals
Macchi, Di Pietro, sigma and Van
nutelli. Then all the cardinals donned
their silver capes and white mitres
and the pope was borne to the throne
amid renewed reclamation and wav-
ing of handkerchiefs and hats.

tending to break from the jail. NIGEL
roy threw Sexton down, and two white
youths, also prisoners, held him. The
negroes disarmed Sexton and Jones
shot him, infiicting three wounds that
are said to be fatal.
A crowd gathered outside the Jail,
while deputy and several others en-
tered and overpowered the other pri-

capped from the jail. The crowd out
side decided to lynch Jones, Prom
inent men urged them to desist, and
the wounded jailer sent word to leave
the man unframed. The mob later
seized Sheriff Batson and tied him.
The fire brigade was requested to turn
out and help dispense the mob, but
refused.

of the jail and cut the negro out of
his cell with chisels. He was brought
out to the crowd of about 500 men and
boys, g. rope was tied around his neck
and he was dragged through the town
to the Gordon creek bridge, where he
