everlasting consolation which time

be so situated. Forty.tw, yelrs ago
we made our first step to marshal

Father Time has dealt kindly with

Utah Convicts Escape.

SALT LAKE, Oct. lO.-As result of
we'll organized and partly successful
attempt at wholes ale delivery Of
prisoners at the Utah state peniten-
tiary last night, one prisoner was
killed, one guard was seriously
wounded, another was beaten almost
into insensibility, three prisoners were
wounded, and two others under death
sentences escaped. Posses with blood
hounds secured the hills north and
east Of this city from dawn to sunset
without finding any definite trace of
the two men, and tonight the prospect
for their capture is not so bright
Both of the escaped convicts are we'll

des perate it is believed neither will be

partment, although doing no work,
and tn at he protected handbooks: and
alleged that the charges constituted a

An Interstate Water Suit.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The answer
OF the state Of Colorado 20 the amend.
ed bill Of the state Of Kansas in the
suit Q: the latter state to enjoin the
former from the further appropriation
OF the waters OF the Arkansas river
for irrig alton purposes was filed today
in the United States supreme court.
The answer sets up the contention tn at
the United States supreme court Is
without jurisdiction. It is also denied
that the Arkansas is navigable
stream or that the use OF the water tor
irrig alton in Colorado has the effect
of diminishing the volume of the
stream in Kansas.
The use of the water for irrigation
is defended as being in accord with
the custom prevailing in the arid re.
gion Of the country and the fact is set
forth that many Of the ditch corpora
tions now operating in Colorado are
incorporated in Kansas, when the state
comprised the territory now embraced
in Colorado.

Property Loss Amounts to Millions and
Many Families Are Homeless.

PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 12.-The peo.
pie OF this unfortunate city are begin.
ming to realize the extent of the great
flood which began last Friday. Near
ly two entire wards, taking in the
manufacturing section, have been un.
der water since that day. This morn.
ing thousands of men, women and
children employed in different mills
aud factories, found they could not 60
to work on account of those places
being shut down. A great many of
these people have also been driven
from their homes and have no food or
shelter.
There are still many blocks under
water and examination of the flooded
district cannot be made until the water
disappears. The health authorities
have a difficult task before them in
devising means to prevent an epidem.
ic of sickness in the flooded territory
The people who were forced to leave
their homes will not be allowed to re-
turn until the district is in a sanitary
condition..
In Paterson alone, damage to prop
erty is estimated at 2,00O, 900, without
taking account of the loss in wages to
thousands who have been temporarily
deprived of occupation, by the shut
ting down of factories. Tonight the
water was reported to have fallen four
feet below the highest mark and the
only possible source Of damage would
be the bursting of the great water
mains which were undermined by the
food. The distress continues great,
and tonight fully 500 persons were still
compelled to seek food and shelter in
the Armory. No immediate fatalities
were reported throughout the day.
In Passaic the damage is esti.
mated to be equal to that in Paterson.
Many adjacent villages still were un.
der water today, but with the falling
of the waters all danger OF the COL
lapse of the great Dundee dam was
declared to be past.
TRENTON, N. } >, Oct. l2.-It is esti.
m mated that the havoc wrought by the
flood along the Delaware river will
cause loss Of nearly Sl,O00,000.
Nine bridges, each built at cost of
from $50, 900 to 100000, which span.
ned the river at various points be-
tween here and Eastern, were carried
away. 1t is reported that telegraph
operator named Letevre was drowned
last night while trying to cross the
river at Raven Rock.

Labor Leader Threatens Panic.

CHICAGO, Oct. lO.-"Org anized cap
ital, through its anti-boycott and en-
ployers' associations must stop it's
raid, on the savings of the trade
unions or the union men will withdraw
$500. 900 900 from the banks.'
Such is the statement made by Thos.
!. Kidd, vice president Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor after an in.
ves,igation of the damage suits which
the American Anti-Boycott associa-
tion and Employers association have
filed a-ainSt trade unions within the
last three months.
Mr.. Kidd intim aled that it was with.
in the power Of union labor to throw
the country into a financial panic by
taking from circulation the $500. 600,
600. which he says labor controls. In
this connection, it may be: stated that
the money stock of the country ap-
prox;mates s2.2'5.0 .00O,0 900.

Carmen Want Higher Wages.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 9.-Negotiations be.

ern system and the general superin-

mand of the carmen is for a new set Of
rules governing the conditions of their
employment and for general increase
in the rates of compens sation. The
position taken by the company at the
conference was that the rates now paid
carmen are as high a, those paid gen
orally by neighboring lines and that
the req le2t OF the men for a general
increase could not be considered.

Will Bring Them to Montana.

BOSTON, Oct. lO.-J ohm Hazeltine, a
poor laborer from Syracuse has COM
pleted plans for colonizing settle
ment in Montana, and will lead 1000
persons next spring to government
farms in that state. Hazeltine is a
penniless toiler, but is the best known
philanthropist in Syracuse. For nine
years he has fed the hungry, clothed
the naked and provided fully for
needy families. He proposes to found
settlement next spring near Butte,
and in an interview tells how he will
do it:
"When March opens,' he said,
"we shall be there ready for the spring
work on the land. l have list of
800 heads of families who are poor,
hard working, often IN want and out
Of work. We will 90 in immigrant
trains and as cheaply as we can and
be comfortable. Our locality is north
of Butte. If things go as we have
planned, we shall take up land and
establish a townsite to open up the
lands. The railroads will make rates
easy"
He will secure help towards his
scheme from some wealthy Syracusean
who has backed his philanthropy work
in the past.
