WATERS ARE SUBSIDING,
The Estimates of Damages Are Still
Growing Larger

| New York, Oct 14.-With the re-
ceding of the floods reported from all
quarters, Paterson, Passaic and the
other water.swept New Jersey towns
are relieved of further peril and are
beginning now to get a clear idea OF
the extent OF the devastation.
In Paterson alone the damage to
property is estimated at Ss,OOO,oOo
without taking account of the loss i'll
wages to the thousands who have been
temporarily deprived Of occupation by
the shutting down Of factories.
The distress continues great and
fully 500 persons are still compelled to
seek food and shelter in the armory
| No additional fatalities were reported
throughout the day.
In Passaic the damage is estimated
Ito be ut least equal to that in Patcr-
son.
Many adjacent villages still were
under water, but with the falling Of
the waters all danger of collapse Of

be past

REVIVAL OF RIVER SERVICE
To Start q Line Of River Barges Between
Kansas City And st. Louis,
Ladies'

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 1O.-Kansas
City may have speedy relief from the
congestion produced by the inability Of
the railroads to handle freight traffic
and at the same time shippers will he
provided with u weapon by which to
compel the railroads to give reasonable
freight charges.
The proposed remedy Is in a revival
Of river service for the transportation
Of freight. A definite proposition has
been to start u line OF river barges to
operate between Kansas City and 81,
Louis The persons proposing to oper-
ate the river service have made q writ.
ten proposition which will be formally
considered at a meeting of the trans
portation bureau to be held soon. If
the proposition finds favor with the
transportation bureau the matter will
be referred to the commercial club for
action in the direction of encourage
ment of the project
>, 1t is contended that a line Of river
barges operated as II is proposed in the
proposition already submitted is en-
tisely feasible. Each barge can carry
200 tons of freight and an ordinary
tow boat built on the style of the river
steamer "Moline" can tow four Of these
barges, These boats can runin thirty
six inches of water.

Fifteen Per Cent Laid OF.

New York, Oct. 14.--0rders were Is
sued from New York whereby IL pei
cent Of the employees in the car shops
repair shops and round houses Of the
entire Vanderbilt railway system, were
informed that their services were nc
longer needed. Fifteen hundred were
thrown out Of employment at a saving
of nearly $4,000 a day, This order,
which embraces employees of the New
York Central and all subsidiary lines
going out Of New York, the Luke
Shore and Michigan Southern, the L..
D. and Western and other roads will
have Its effect in more than 100 shops
and roundhouses.
"The action just taken by the Van
derbilt system of railroads is due to
two things" said a high official of the
New York Central road "First, that
the outlook Of the present time de-
manded that retrenchment be made,
and, second, that the condition Of the
rolling stock Of the company is such
that retrenchment Gun be made in the
department which has charge of that
with less damage to effectiveness"
