THE ICE GORGE
HAS n OWED OUT
Ice Still Intact at Blo1msburg, But River
Failing.

Advices from up the river would
seem to indicate tha the worst is ov-
er. The ice has mo. ed from Rupert
down. George Refs yder of this city
was up as far as the zimmerman farm
AMI was an eye witness of the break
ing up of the gorge t that point.
The ice coming down made its ap-
perrance at DInvill' about II O'Clock,
and was heralde1 by the blowing of
the whistle at the Water Works. A
large crowd rushed - the river expect
ing to see the two remaining spans of
the river bridge go. 3ut they were dis
appointed, as notwithstanding the
fierce assault of the ce they held their
own.
Last evening the lie was still intact
at Bloomsbury, but the river was fall
ing rapidly. The Cast Bloomsbury
bridge promises to srrvive the seasons
foods, although it had a close call.
Two of the spans arc moved over two
feet on the piers aid raised nearly
three feet, while the piers are badly
damaged

BLOCH s. BENZBACH
HEAVY LOSERS
Big Stock Of Finished Goods Ruined by the
Flood

FloCd.
Probably the heaviest losers on Mill
street are Messrs. Bloch & BrEzbach,
proprietors of the knee pants factory.
Their factory was filled with fnished
goods, woolens, etc. TIE water rising
as rapidly rs it did gave them no OPP
portunity TO get their immense stock
out of the way. They employed num-
Der of meu and had removed great
portion Of the goods to the western
end of the factory which is q foot low
er than the front. They worked under
great difficulty not having any light,
and succeeded in saving much tulsh-
cd stock, piece goods, etc. While every
effort was being made to save the
stock, however, the water burst open
tho Center street aud Mill street doors
simultaneously, the water at the same
time coming through tho floor. In a
few moments ali hands had to got out
of the building and it was a great risk
even al that time.
The loss to the stock, machinery,
etc, could not be asccrtIined yester-
day. The factory will be in operation
again early next week.

RAPIDLY
CLEANING UP
No Big Losses Reported-Business Re
sumed Yesterday.

sumed Yesterday.
The Danville Merchants doing bust
ness in the flooded districts were hard
at work early yesterday morning and
though tine stores presented most
sorry appe france, the proprietors were
working with will and before night
most of them were ready to do bust
ness again.
One Of the heavy losers on Mill
street is the American Stock Co. Mr..
Goldman, the proprietor, had every
thing out of the way, but a counter
piled high with ladies' waists, expen-
sive underwear, notions, etc, was mp
set and the goods thrown into the wat
er. Mr.. Goldman places his loss at
about 5000
J. W. Lore, the jeweler, sustained
quite a loss also. The water came in
to this store from the front and rear
anI much damage was done to fix
tCIGs.
At Malers' restaurant the water was
over the bar. This building was prob
ably the lowest in the flooded Mill
street district and it got the water
from the cretk and river together.
The alIeyway along the building was
lisn a raging creek. Mr. Maier not
only sustains loss at the restaurant
but Will have "a heavy loss in the resid-
ence. His carpets are entirely ruined.
Though nearly all the merchants in
this district are losers from $50 TO $3.50
yet they are very thankful that the
flood was no worse. Under the cir
cumstances more loss could have been
easily sustained and more damage
done. BY tomorrow all signs of flood
in the stores viii. have disappeared.

In the upper end OF the Borough the
conditions were most alarming. On

County Commissioner G. W. Cook
yesterday stated that so far as he was
able to learn Montour County had not
sustained the loss of a single bridge
by Mondays flood Every stream was
unusually high, but the bridges main
tanned their supremacy. This is all
the more remarkable considering the
loss sustained by neie lboring counties

train ran through a dry parched
section, a large portion of which
land was barren. Some sections
showed the indigo plant and a light
growth of the castor bean. Some
wheat had been harvested and in
some places threshing was being
done in the old way by oxen. Saw
monkeys by the wayside, whole
neighborhoods of them, saw very
few cattle for there is very little for
them to eat and so little water in
sight.
Reached Lucknow in the after
noon. AT first sight Lucknow seems
a city Of magnihcence containing
buildings of dazzling whiteness but
nearer view dispels the illusion.
They are not marble, simply lime,
not stone but stucco. And this fact
will apply to most of the cities of
India. But Lucknow is noted for
its parks and gardens. As we drove
through the city we saw palaces fine
and those of no pretensions to beau
ty. The grounds of the ":Presiden-
cy' where the terrible mutiny and
massacre Of 1857 occurred, is one Of
the most interesting buildings in
the city. 1t was our good luck to
meet on those grounds one of the
English survivors Of these terrible
scenes. Judge Lincoln who was
twenty five years old at that time
and who has lived in India over
forty five years. He is rather feeble
but was eagar to tell all about the
massacre and to take us to every
place of interest on the grounds.
He referred to his physical condition
and intimated that he was getting
old. | told him people were not
old until they were ninety years of
age, he smiled as if it was new
idea that he would gladly believe
but could not. He appeared to
think we took the same interest in
all he told us as if we were English
born. He is Of the belief that he is
a distant relative to our Abe Lincoln
and we were willing he should think
so.
We were late in reaching our
hotel and had an opportunity of see
ing the native women going home
from their work, and so many car
rying babe or a big child that
ought to walk. | read that they are
content and that the wish of the hus-
band is law to them. Still | can
not but question if secretly they do
not crave a better fate than to work
like man and seem to live only to
rear children that are born to no
better fate.
Our next stop was at Cawnpore,
situated on the right bank Of the
Ganges and an important junction
where four railways meet, and it is
also military depot Of consequence
Its factories are numerous among
which are cotton and wooden mills,

Mrs. THRILLS Letter. Continued.

The morning came that found us
at Howrah, opposite Calcutta, and
what crowd awaited transportation
across the muddy Hugh river. Only
few whites, mostly pilgrims. This
is a large staem and seemed fairly
alive with boats, freighters large
and small, boats for passengers, big
sampans where the boatmen and
their families dwell, junks and
small sail boats-jams of boats and
crowds on both sides and a confusion
Of sounds, whistles, bells, and
foreign tongues, all mingling into
one big noise The water is muddy
without doubt and the coolies are
waist deep in it washing their drap-
ings, and then folding them about
their bodies all wet, then going
about their work as usual. When
landed, we soon found a hotel, the
best if not first class, where they
seemed to have some idea of order
though not Of western neatness.
However there were large rooms
and airy corridors, marble floors
and numerous ported plants, large
dining room with quite an aristo-
cratic air and Punkas over each table
(faal like creations propelled by the
tcoolies) making the hot room toler-
able. We drove to the Zoo, one of
the show places, where there were
animals and reptiles in abundance
A baby elephant fifteen days old
as playful as kitten, monkeys
making the place hideous with
their yells, snakes and other horrid
reptiles that make me shudder even
now. There were birds of rare
plumage and beasts Of prey wishing
to make ameal Of one.
We paused at spot marked by a
marble floor, a spot that history
names the BLACK Hole" of Calcutta,
1t is now part of the site of the
General Post Office.
At the first sight Of Calcutta, the
traveller feels that he is nearing a
Getty of Palaces" Stately museums
in the foreground, the fort rising
on the bank higher up, and the
domes, steeples and noble public
buildings seem like a beautiful
white panoram, But our faith in
the city was shaken when we be-
held the rear, and we'll does it de.
serve the epithet palaces in front
and pig-stys in the rear" There
are no stones within more thar
100 miles from the city; therefore

The Passing Away of John Sager
Drvbread.

After a residence in Delaware
county of more than half century
of years, John Sager Drybread is dead
Mr.. Drybread had been ailing for a
year or more and on the 1lth Of May
at the advanced age of four score
years and one, he passed quietly on
to his reward.
John Sager Drybread was born in
Morgan county, Ohio, February 18th
1928. In 1887, after the death of
his father, his mother took her fam
lily Of five sons and daughters to
Berrien county, Michigan, and here
with his mother the deceased remain
ed until his twenty first year. In
December 1915, he was married,
taking Miss Mary Wilson to wife
and until 1854, he industriously fol-
lowed his calling as farmer in Mich
igan. In the spring of that year,
he came to Iowa, purchasing two
hundred and forty acres of land in
Elk township, this county. Here
for more than thirty years Mr.. and
Mrs. Drybread toiled and builded,
their early experiences being replete
with the pleasure and the labor, the
plenty and want, the successes and
reverses that necessarily fall to the
lot of the pioneer. Above it all,
this man, sturdy of character, steady
Of purpose and earnest triumphed,
ana his last years must have been
filled with a proud consciousness
that he had done much towards
building up his home community as
well as wisely managing the person
al side of his life.
In 1886 Gir. and Mrs. Drybread
moved into Greeley, Mr.. Drybread
going into the mercantile and grain
business, and that has ever since
been their home.
John was the second of five chill
dren, one Of whom died in the Mich
igan home. The remaining four all
came to Delaware county; William
J, a farmer, dying in 1872, Henry,
grain dealer in 1881, leaving now
but the sister, Mrs. Henry Millen,
Of Earlville, Of the family. To Mr..
and Mrs. Drybread were born fix
children, two Of whom are left sur
viving with the wife and sister
Henry of Greeley and John Of New
ada, Iowa.
Mr.. Drybread was member of
the Masonic fraternity, belonging to
the blue lodge and chapter-at Gree
ley and to the Commandery of this
place. He and Mrs. Drybread were
Of the first members of the Greeley
Universalist church and the funeral
services were held at the home in
Greeley on Friday, the 18th,
under the direction of Tadmor Lodge
A. L. & A. NJ, Greeley, assisted by
Nazareth Commandary, X. T., Man
chester, Rev. Mrs. Crum of the Uni
versalist church Of this city giving
the address.
A friend has said of him, and to this
tribute we reverently..subscribe: Mr.
Drybread was true to every relation
and duty of life. His was not a
demonstrative character, but abso-
Lutte honesty Of purpose controlled his
every action. Quiet, peace, and
simplicity marked his home life and
its benediction remains as sweet
remembrance to the members Of his
family.
