GOTHAM FLOODS GET DYNAMITERS
NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL MAKE
SYSTEMATIC EFFORT.
General Manager Cooper to Go to
Helena to Take Char ge of Work.
Only n Question of Time-.PilOt
Engines Will BE Run if Found
to BE Necessary.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. News OF
the dynamjting of a freight train eight
miles west of Helena was received at
Northern Pacific headquarters with
great concern. General Manager Cooper,
it is stated, will leave for the West at
once, to personally take charge of the
work of tracing the outlaws. He was
in Staples yesterday and was informed
of the wreck of the freight, in which
by a fortunate chance no one was in
jured, by message sent from head
quarters.
Late information is that the entire
head end OF the engine was blown off,
the cab wrecked and the rails blown
from under the locomotive. Official re-
ports are that four sticks of dynamite
were placed on the rails, two on each
side and at distance of several feet
from each other.
Northern Pacific operating officials
until yesterday were confident that the
end of the trouble with the dynaimters
had been reached. The limit under
which the blackmail demanded was to
have been paid expired Sunday without
further incident, and it was believed
that nothing further would be heard Of
the band until their capture. The dy-
namiters, the operating officials believe,
are all within easy reach of the Mon
tana and Idaho line.
Hundreds of detectives and state and
county officers are searching for them,
and the track guards have been doubled
and trebled. The precautions for per-
feet safety of trains were believed to he
perfect, yet the dynamiters made their
attack and escaped.
"There is no question that we will
get these men," said President Hanna
ford. cit seems impossible for them to
escape, and money is no object in the
effort to capture them. We will refuse
to grant their demands, even if it costs
five times $50. 900 to catch them and
send them over the road. Although
the freight they dynamited was wreck
ed, do not think the eafety of passen-
ger trains is in question.
"We are prepared to go the limit,
and now that there has been another
sign OF activity, we will, if necessary,
guard the front end and rear of every
| train to and from the coast with pilot
engines and men. We are determined
that these men shall neither interfere
with our traffic nor cause uneasiness to
our patrons. We are equally deter
mined to capture them. 1t seems lit.
tie strange that they have not been
taken already, but the natural diciliul-
ties are numerous. We are guarding
900 miles of track, through wild
country for the most part, where escape
is easy and capture difficult.
Sentiment in Idaho and Montana is
with us and settlers everywhere are
helping us. The worst feature of the
affair is that the attacks are creating
an unfavorable impression in the East,
and will probably keep away many
people, who still think the West is a
land Of sixshooters and bad whisky"

When the Peoples Institute burned
early in the summer the church con
gregatfon found themselves homeless.
The misfortune seemed beyond est
mate, but 1t inspired the young preach
er to formulate the Idea which he Is
now carrying into practice. Aided by
his assistant pastor, a young woman.
Miss Perl Denham. and by Miss Elva
Abbott, who edits weekly paper, the
Metropolitan, for the church, he Sc
cured the financial aid Of the wealth
lest of the members Of the congrega-
ton, and within three months has seen
his dreamy project begin to take prac-
teal form. Women have been his chief
helpers. Many of them We're able to
subscribe money Of their own. Others
went out and persistcntly solicited
funds.

used in stormy weather, 1t can be
thrown open to the air on all sides
a steel skeleton construction will be
used, the model being that Of a pavll-
ion. The space between the pillars
will be suffered so that If need be the
airy auditorium can be closed up. At
occasional intervals windows will take
the place of shutters in order that the
roof garden may be used on rainy
afternoon without artificial lighting.
At one end of the room will be plat
form large enough for use as a stage
for amateur theatricals and the public
enterto inmonts which are expected to
be a chief factor in the life of the
church. Back of this platform will be
great sounding board, patterned after
those In use for orchestral purposes In
summer gardens and parks.
The seats In the roof garden will be
movable, so that on occasion the en-
tire room can be used for receptions
given by the minister or for the in
formal social gatherings of the young
people of the church. In summer the
roof garden will be the regular church
auditorium.
The clergyman intends to place few
restrictions upon the uses to which the
roof garden can be put. He Is willing

MEILEN WILL STAY.
Not to Retire From N. Il. Until Sc
curities Case Is Settled.


st. Paul, Oct lot is stated at
Northern Pacific headquarters that
President Mellen will remain at the
head Of the system until the tangle
resulting from the federal court injunc-
ton, which prevents the voting Of a
large share OF the stock is Strengthened
out In the meantime there will be
no annual meeting and the directors
now serving will hold over. 1t is stat
ed that the present board does not care
70 elect Mr.. Mellen'1 successor until
the stockholders have elected new mem
bers or reelected the present ones.
This may mean, it is asserted, that Mr.
Mellen WI contiue at the head OF the
system until we'll into 1904.
It is the settled opinion Of the lead
ing ocffiers Of both the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific that upon the dis
solution ci the Injunction j, y. Farrell
will succeed Mr. Melleu ga pre- sident Of
the Northern Pacific. The selection il

unsold, so that those who had actually
purchased tickets had not the ghost of
show Of getting any return. In the
cases where prizes We're paid the com
panies arbitrarily selected the winners
and even bribed people, for small con-
siderntions, to pose as winners Of the
grand prizes.
Twice during the year Mrs Diaz
wife of the President, was awarded
the grand prize of $50, 900. There is no
doubt that Mrs. Diaz was permitted to
win because of her husbands power
as actual dictator of the republic and
now Mexico IS in a ferment over the
affair. What effect 1t will have upon
the political situation is hard to fore
cast. but it would not be surprising If
it should force President Diaz to re-
tire from public life.

LOTTERY SCANDALS.
May End In Sending President Diaz
Into Retirement.


A storm of Indignation has been
aroused In Mexico by the swindling
operations of two lottery companies,
whose operations have embraced not
only the Mexican Republic. but Louisi-
ana, Texas, California, New Mexico
and Arizona. The two companies have
been earning the enormous total Of
S25, 100000 annually. OF this sum
$5,000,0OO was paid to the Mexican
government as license for their eX-
istence. Probably $2,900,000 more was
expended for expenses and to pay the
prizes awarded to persons in a posi-
ton to advertise the lotteries or under
corrupt services The balance $1S,-
000,O 00-was divided among the lotter-
les owners. 1t has been conclusively
established that the drawings of both
lotteries were made from tickets left

TORRENTIAL RAIN DOES DAMAGE
AT NEW YORK.
Car lines Blocked and Streets I'm
der Water--Over Ten Inches of
Water Recorded at the Local
Weather Bureau--COast Storm
Approaches.

New York, Oct. 10.-Torrential rain,
commencing early yesterday morning
and continuing with scarcely any inter
MISSION until late this afternoon, during
which time the unprecedented precipi-
tation Of 1904 inches was recorded at
the local weather bureau, laid New
York city and all the surrounding coun-
try under flood , causing damage that
will amount to many hundred thousand
dollars. The rain has now ceased, but
a coast storm is reported approaching,
and a threatened hurricane renders it
unsafe for vessels OF any class to leave
port.
Along all the river front and in many
sections Of Brooklyn cellars were flood
ed and an enormous amount OF damage
done. A great portion OF the subway
was badly flooded.
Suburban steam and trolley lines,
with hardly an exception, were Grip.
pied by floods and washouts, and in
the early morning rush thousands OF
Suburban residents were unable to
reach their offices in this Getty. Those
who were fortunate enough to cross the
ferries found further progress blocked
by the submerged condition OF the wat
er front Streets across which they were
ferried in trucks and wagons.
Floods Are Extensive.
Reports of extensive floods and seri-
GUS damage to property and Interrupt
tons to traffic come from almost all
sections OF New Jersey and Long Island.
In Newark, Paesaic ard other large
manufacturing towns many factories
were closed owing to the flooding of en-
CINE rooms. In many places electric
light and power plants were shut down
for the same reason. A dam on the
Ramaho river at Pompton broke, flood
ing the valley for ten miles, but caus-
ing no loss of life.
Paterson was one of the worst suffer-
ers, and for time during the afternoon
there was grave danger of Il repetition
OF the terrible disaster of last February.
The flood is now subsiding and all dan
ger is believed to be over.
A great part Of the city was laid I'M
der water and scores Of great plants, in
Gliding those OF the Rodgers Locomo-
tive Works and the Paseaic Steel Com
pany were flooded and shut down, in
volving loss estimated at fully ST.
000, 900.
Railroad Is Tied Up.
Except for the running Of the ferry
boats the Erie Railroad was practically
tied up. No trains we're run on the
main Inc west of Passaia, none on the
Newark branch west OF Newark, none
west of Norwood on the northern branch,
none west of Arlington, and no trains
on either the Jersey & New York Rail
way or the New York, Susquehanna x
Western The only delay on the New
York Central and the New Haven 4
Hartford was during the progress OF the
heaviest part of the storm, when the
water rose to a height of three feet on
.he tracks in the Bronx and the engines
were Obliged to run cautiously. BY the
time thu storm had cleared, however,
the local IL aims were running on their
regular schedules.
