Each day brings additional informa-
tion as to the condition of the river at
I points above us and the facts as learn
ed reveal a state of affairs which would
seem unparalleled in the history of the
valley.
Beginning at the canal lock abov Q
the Hospital for the Insane the bed Of
the river taking in the entire width of
the stream is packed full Of ice and
extends i'll that condition not only to
Catawissa and Bloomsbury but to
points further up the stream. At Roar
ing creek from either side of the river
the scene is one of imposing grandeur.
The ice in huge irregular masses fIe-
quently 30 inches thick and towering
% feet high seems to rest upon the
bottom of the channel, throw ing the
food out over the farms on each side.
On the Cooper township side during
Sunday and Monday a strong current
six feet deep was sweeping over the
farms of ProthonotarY Thomas G.
Vincent, James Shultz and the farm
of the Jesse zimmerman estate. On
the opposite side of the river a similar
state of affairs existed, the water COW
ering the S. H. e. W. tracks to the
depth of six feet and reaching as far
as the barn of Colonel Eckman.
Francis Hartman, Dallas Hummer,
John Flanagan and Harry Farley
drove to Catawissa yesterday and the
description which they give of the
river at that point indicates that there
is still much trouble in store for the
people in the North Branch Valley.
While the water has fallen four feet
or more the entire river is full of ice
forming jam only trifle less impos-
ing and formidable than what is view
ed at Roaring creek. The d. l.. & W.
track between Catawissa and Rupert
along with the wagon road the canal
and the trolley track are still under
water and covered with huge masses
of ice Over all the farm land sub
merged even where the waters have
Teceded one sees nothing but grey
masses of ice which conceal every
thing
The ice ON the river at Cataw issa
yesterday was frozen into a solid gorge
and at several places people were walk
ing upon it. BY using the ice in this
way persons were able to reach the
wagon bridge which could be safely
crossed by pedestrians.
The height of the river at Catswissa
and Bloomsbury Sunday, 1t seems, was
somewhat exaggerated by the telephone
reports sent out from those places
nevertheless. most conservative esti-
mate places the water at nearly a foot
above the mark of 1855, which up to
that time was the highest water record
ed on the North Branch.
The description of the ice which is
still to come down the river is not at
all reassuring to Danville, especially
in view of the ice jam which still ex
lists below town.

The union civ Concern Band

The Union City Concert Band
gave musical at Kenton last Tues
day night. The cold wave which
swooped over us with such terocity
made the weather perfectly unbear-
able and for that good reason
only very small crowd heard the
music. Besides there was a we'd
ding in one of the prominent homes
of Kenton. Notwithstanding the
band and their friends had the
pleasure of playing to small but
very enthusiastic audience. 1t
would be we'll to say that the per-
formances of the band and orchestra
were much better than the manner
in which same was rendered here
two weeks ago The vocal selec-
tons by Mrs. Mary Dean Wheeler,
Mrs. Joe Sheriff. and Miss Rosa
Dean were also very enjoyable
features of the entertainment.
Mrs. Wheeler's vocal gifts are very
excellent indeed and she controls
her voice with wonderful ease. She
certainly sings we'll. Mrs. Sher-
rill, who was 50 well known in
Union City as Miss Evelyn Little,
sang with the beauty of expression
and charm of tnnefulness. 1t
seems that she has not abandoned
any of those gifts which added SO
much to her popularity at home.
The band has especially in its hap
py moments very warm feeling
for the proprietor of the Lindell
Hotel. The party altogether was
made up Of about thirty-tive in
number and they we're accomodat-
ed by the entire suite of rooms,
comprising parlor, sitting rooms
and dining Dom until train time

FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOPS
The Semones Plant Continues Opera
tion Without Interruption.

The one. half interest of Mr.. John
Semones in the Semones Foundry
and Machine Shops was in nowise
affected by the assignment made
by his father, Mr.. A. Semones, last
week, and under his immediate
supervision the operation of this
concern Will continue as hereto.
fore. This is one of the largest
and best plants of it's kind in the
State. 1t has for many years been
one OF Union C1ty's leading indus
tries, forming one of the principal
component parts of our business
life and activity, To say that the
operations of the plant we're in
danger OF spsp nsion would create
a very misleading impression.
The Junior partners interest is in
no way iucumbered, and the entire
business will be conducted without
hitch, improving and charging
as the occasion demands.
We are assured by Mr. A. Sc
mones that he has good grounds to
feel that within year his entire
Indebtedness will have been paid
by his own efforts and through the
assistance of his trustees. 1t was
not his own mismanagement or
business failure which brought
about the trouble, but the collapse
of the Flickinger Wheel Co., to
whom he had been selling spokes
for many years. This company
had always been prompt and re-
liable with its bills, and up to the
time of the failure was reported
through all the agencies and BUSH
ness men to be perfectly good and
solvent. Hence the trouble fell
upon M, Semones very unexpect-
eddy. Knowing these things to be
true and the fact that Mr.. Semones
was first-class business man, his
friends heartily volunteered to as
sist him through, but he preferred
to put the business in the hands of
assignees and settle every dollar in
full. This is the kind of man he is
and this is the kind of metal
which will meet with encourage
ment and success.
The spoke factory will continue
TO run under the management of
the assignees, Messrs. John T.
Walker and HI. Dietzel. which IS
assurance that it will be properly
handled.
