A GREAT FOOTING UP"
The Remarkable Sale of Whale Hose
 in Waterbury.

The Remarkable Sale of Whale Hose
 .. in Waterbury.
 In these days of sharp competition on the part of manufacturers and dealers and of equally sharp discrimination on the part of intelligent buyers, the ar- ticle of merchandise which, in a brief period, attains to a great popularity and consequently large sale, must, of necessity, possess very solid claims to superiority. There must be merit in the superlative degree, and this, too, so plain as to be easily demonstrated.
 Whale hose for men have proved to be such an article. Entering a field already well occupied by widely ad- vertised and successful rivals, these hose have, in remarkable short space of time, pushed themselves far ahead in the race for public favor, and taken their place among the prime favorites which constitute the staples of trade.
 All over New England, as elsewhere, the sale of whale hose has been phe- 'nomenally large, increasing 9O per cent in a few weeks. From almost every city and town of this section of the country orders. are received by the | manufacturers proving a steady and constantly growing demand, and indi- | eating the appreciation of wearers for an article of real merit.
 Waterbury has shared with other | cities, near and far, in the great sale of whate hose. Shrewd buyers here early recognized the well substantiated claims of these hose. and almost i'm
 mediately the call began, increasing steadily ever since, and reaching, dur ! ing the last eight weeks or so, the un-
 precedented figures of over 1856 stock.
 ings sold. This is a truly remarkable
 showing, but one only a repetition of what is going on elsewhere, over a widely extended field.
 1 Cornell Stocking Corporation, New Bedford Mass, manufacturers ot whale hose, has once more demon strated, what has been often before proved with unvarying emphasis: thai
 the buying public always know a good
 thing when they see 1t, and will as | promptly ''step into" it, when it offers
 itself in a shape like whale hose.

age and Inconvenience.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 14.- Tile rain which had been falling 1n- cessantly for two days aboHt daybreak assumed almost the proportions of cloudburst, and when the citizens pre- pared to leave for their places of busi- ness many of them found their homes completely surrounded by water.
 Many were driven from their resi- dences or forced to go to upper stories by the water that in some cases reach ed the level of the first story win dows. In all as much as one square mile of the town was under water. Fully half a mile of Bay street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, was under water, and much damage was done to stocks of goods. On this street mule hitched to a wagon got be- yond it's depth and was drowned, and the driver, attempting to cut it from the vehicle. nearly lost his life. Skiffs and later in the day a naphtha launch were plying on Bay street removing people from their submerged homes.
 The water was two feet deep in the waiting room of the Union depot, and every railroad track entering the city was under water. The rain in its in- tensity seemed to be local, and the railroads are not damaged except in and near the city.
 The city was in total darkness for the entire night. The water was foot deep in the electric light power house and stopped the dyanmo. The damage to the electric light plant, which be- longs to the city, is estimated at $8,O00. It will take probably $3O,OOO to put the streets and bridges in repair.
 The railroads suffered losses proba- bly, amounting to $10O,OOO. The losses of individuals cannot be accurately es- timated. Many bridges in the county were washed away. The total loss will probably not be less than $40OOc
