ENDEAVORERS.


Glad are the songs they sing.
Strong Is the faith they keep.
Who lift their eyes TO the King.
And climb though the way be steep
Hands that are swift
Hearts that are young and strong,
Blest the lips that lift
The world through prayer and song
Who are the Wctors famed
For Inc deeds they have wrought to-day9
Those who have served and claimed
Only their share of the fray.
Heroes and saints Of the past
Who struggled, and wrought, and died;
This is their glory at last.
They the souls who tried.

NARROW ESCAPES FROM
 SUSQUEHANNA FLOODS
Great Ice Gorges Break Hurng Tons of Ice and Immense Volumes of Water on Lower Sections and Carrying
 Destruction to Property Along the River
ANcAsTER, Pa, March s.-L

' ANCASTER, Pa, March Slate
 this evening the danger points on
 the lower Susquehanna river shift ed from Bainbridge, Columbia and Washington borough to Safe Harbor, the lower parts of which are tonight prac- tically submerged.
 At 3 o'clock the great gorge at Wash ington borough broke up, hurling tons of ice and an immense volume of water against the Turkey Hill gorge, few miles below. The latter gave way be- fore the tremendous impact. A new jam then formed just below Safe Harbor. where the Conestoga creek enters the Susquehanna. Backwater rushed up the creek, demolishing the Pennsylvania stone bridge and sweeping away the county bridge some distance further up the

stream. The dwellings of J. Granting and Joseph Temple were torn from their foundations and washed away.
 The ice at Bainbridge broke at D. m. and carried away four buildings from Duffy's plant, dwelling and three to- bacco sheds, one of them containing $60C0 worth of Sumatra tobacco. A house be- longing to a man named Dorr at Goldens was carried down to Bainbridge and lodg- ed on the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail- road.
 The railway station at Bainbridge was also carired away, and at Locust Grove the telegraph operators got out of the tower just before it was crushed into splinters by a huge piece of Ice. 9 The breaking of the gorge at Bain- bridge caused a rapid rise at Marietta, and at o'clock there was two feet of water on Front street. The river con- tinues to rise.
