PATERSON FLOODED
Passaic's Rising Waters Gut
 the City In Two.
SEVEN BRIDGES WERE CARRIED AWAY
BOatnen Have Been Busy at the Work of Life savfng-Mayor Hinchcliffe Considers the s1t-
 nation. Critical.

PATTERSON. N. J.. Oct. 12. For nearly rorty-eight hours Paterson has been at the mercy of the Passaic river. The waters have maintained height sufficient to cut the western half of the city from the eastern half, and almost all means of communication by bridges have been destroyed. Two bridges above the falls remain, but approach to them is impossible. Three bridges below the Valley of the Rocks still stand, but it is impossible to live in reaching them. Seven other bridges in the city have been carried away, and their loss alone is half a million dol lars. The inundation of the low lying districts of the city has resulted in in conceivable damage to property.
 A number of buildings have fallen, and many others have been undermin- ed Spruce Street hill is falling away pIecemeal, and only little more than two feet of dirt and stone separate the Falls basin from the big Black race, through which millions of gallons of water are rushing every hour. The gate house is in very weakened con dition and is liable to go if Spruce Street hill breaks much farther
 Mayor Hinchcliffe, who has been at This point all night experimenting the work of strengthening the dikes and water gates, regards the situation as most critical
 ,
 All day long boatmen have been at Eork rescufng people from the flooded districts. The suffering in the First and Second wards has been intense, as it was almost impossible to reach the residents there. Several hundred persons were removed from houses completely surrounded by the flood and ready to collapse at any moment. A dozen or more of these houses later did collapse and heated down the stream.
 The damage to mill property is chief Iy from the submersion of portions of khe plant and great quantities of prod ucts. Thousands of men, women and children will be out of employment for q long time, and it seems altogether probable that this flood will cause to Aha city of Paterson greater direc'

WiYl Travel I'm Princely Style and
 Reform New York.
 WAUKEGAN, IL, Oct. 12.-Alexan-e der DoWie will travel to New York next week in one of the finest private cars maintained by any railroad while his followers will have to content themselves for two nights in ordinary coaches. In fact, Dowie's private car riage and horses will have better ac- commodations than most of his follow CTS, for the palace horse car which is to transport the ssprophet's'' convey ance is already at Zion City, being put in shape for the Journey. As Dowie's carriage is electric lighted and he drives some of the finest horses in the state, he expects to show the New. Workers how prophets travel in style. Dowie himself, with his wife and son, will occupy the private car of the Nickel Plate railroads president, this courtesy having been extended to him when the crusade was first talked of. A Pullman sleeper is to be attached to each train for those who can afford to pay, but Dowie has kindly suggested to his people that it"is not necessary to go l to that expense; that they had better I sit up nights and turn the extra $5 into l Zion's bank. The cars will all be pro-, fusely decorated with Zion banners both inside and outside.
 There are three things which Dowie I intends opening up against with great determination at his New York meet 1 ings. He says he will Hash some of the churches as New York has never heard them, lashed before,'' he will force most of the drug stores to close shop, and he will show up Christian Science, which, he declares, is one of the worst frauds existing. On the oth- CT hand, he will boom Zion City by try | ing to sell stock and will also endeavor
 to form branch of his theocratic l party.
 At Zion City, IL, to martial, trium- l phant music the restoration host of
 Zion passed in review before John All
 exander Dowie, general overseer. Re-
 cruits from the Zion missionary fields
 in the west and southwest have been
 enrolled to the number of 3,O1S, and, l according to MT. Dowie, the army of
 crusaders which will leave Wednesday
 for the spiritual conquest of New York
 will number 4,000 men and women.

and her daughters, Misses Maggie and
Kate. All her children were at the bed
side when death came with the excep-
ton of her sons Duncan and Charlie,

During her last illness extending over

loving hands at the home of Rev. Jas.
