Norfolk Becomes a Venice.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Norfolk, Va. Oct. 10.-Wind and rain
have been raging for forty-eight hours
and the city is practically flooded. The
high winds backed up a tremendous tide
into the inner harbor. The down town
sections of the city is navigated in boats,
while high wagons are used all over town
20 connect the trolley lines where the wa
tel prevents the operation OF cars. The
City Hall is in island and can be circum-
naVigated in boats. In BOtetOte street
the tide has come over the sea wall and
waves are breaking in the street. At
Ocean View the large pleasure pier has
been almost completely swept away and
great damage lone to the summer homes
there. Virginia Beach, directly on the
ocean, has borne the brunt OF the storm
and reports OF great damage come from
hat point
The coast wires are all down and the
commercial lines are working under great
difficulty. Continued high winds will in
crease the tide and preparations were
made to remove stock from the wholesale
district u~nfiOOded.

QUAXING WITH SUSPENSE
IF the Great Dundee Dam Collapses There'll be
Esw Johnston.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paterson, \. j., Oct. 10.-The food sit
uatIon tonight is very grave. The water
at Garfield Avenue is higher by fifty
inches than the point reached In 1902.
Re damage to the city is estimated to
amount to over two million dollars. Crowds
Of men are guarding the gate house at
the mill race and at the first intimation
that the gate will break away at Spruce
street the gate house will be blown up
with dynamite so as to turn the water in
to the chasm OF the Passiac Falls.
The people ate expecting the dam to go
at any minute and a u was fired at 10
o'clock to give the signal Of extreme dan
ger to the stricken population. The dam
expected to collapse Is the great Dundes.
Should this give way it is feared that
there will be a repetition of the Johnstown
disaster. The bridges in the city are Civ
ing way one by one, causing a panic
among the people. Already tonight five
bridges hav gone dow under the strain
OF the frightful torrent. They are the
truight Street bridge, Hillman, Market,
MofTatt, and Broadway bridges.

The RESULTS Or THE
bAlLOT|AG NAUGHT
Council Of the East Carolina
Diocese Adjourns.
THERE Is NO ELECTION
LaitY and Clergy Locked fiorns---%he Result is
That the diocese viii b. Practically
Without a Bishop Until
Next MAY.

Goldsboro, N. c., Oct. S.-The clergy
and laity locked horns in the council OF
the East Carolina Diocese. in session in
this city, for the election of a Bishop Co.
adjutor, and the result is no election.
The clergy whose prerogativc
it is to make the nomination,
seemed determined not to nomi-
nate the candidate who is known to be
the choice OF the laity, and the 4aity.
whose ~prerogative it is to confirm or re
ject the nomination, seem as equally de-
terTnlned not to accept any other candl-
date than the one on whom they have
set their hearts.
The council convened in st. Stephens
church this morning at $50 O'Clock. The
secretary. Rev. Mr.. Skinner, of Clinton,
read the minutes OF the session yeSter-
day and last night, after which Rev. n.
C. Hughes, of C~hocowlnity, arose to a
point Of order and stated that he owed
the council an apology for using the
word henchman in his speech last night
when he referred to Dr.. T. NJ. n. George
as being a henchman for DR.. Robert
Strange IN his candidacy for the Bish-
cpric.
Rev. r. W. Hogue occupied some con
SlQefaDle time Win a speech IN support OF
DR.. Strange. It was a brilliant effort
and every word that fell from the speak
er's lips was listened to with rapt at
t%ention.
Yesterday the council sen d telegram
to Ri. Rev. Bishop A. A. Watson cX-
pressing their regrets at his inability to
attend the council, and a short mes
sage was received from the Bishop con
veying his blessings to the council.
At 1890 O'Clock the clergy asked per
mission to retire for consultation and
We're given until lilo.
When the council reassembled the
clergy presented the name of Rev. T. M.
n. George. The laity then voted by
parishes and rejected the nomination by
q large majority.
This leaves the Diocese practically with
out & Bishop, as Bishop Watson Is too
feeble to attend to the duties of his
office. Unless an emergency arises it is
possible that there will be no election
OF a Bishop until the regular council
ccnvenes in annual session next May.
At 1870 o'clock the council adjourned

The BastlIel She had heard
enough in Paris of that stone hell to
make her tremble at the word. All
night she endured it, but in the morn
ing she was resolved to throw the
intolerable burden on some one more
able to bear Il. But on whom2 Sir
Thomas would not have the subject
named in his presence 1t would be
cruel to tell Jane,-but there was
Cromwell. There was the Protector.
1t was his business to look after En-

Matilda could not tell how much or
how little Cromwell knew Of her med
ding in variety of plots against his
life and government, but she expected
her fathers name would secure her
an audience Her first request, how
ever, was met with a prompt refusal.
She was not to be daunted If her
own name was not sufficient, she had
others more potent. So she wrote on
a card these words: Lady Matilda
de Wick has important information re-
garding Lord Cluny Neville; and for
Mistress Jane Swaffham's sake she
asks an interview"
This message was instantly effect
i've. While Matilda was telling her
self that "she would not do the least
homage to the Usurper," the door
opened hastily. and he entered her
presence. In the twinkling of an eye
all her resolves vanished. She fell at
his feet, and taking his hand kissed it,
whether in homage or in entreaty, she
knew not.

began to sob. my lord, crave OF
you SO many pardons--so much for

movement, and leading her to chair
remained standing at her side. 1--WE

great hurry"
Without one unnecessary word she
