 ming Bee at . Natatorium.
 Robert Lindenberg. member of a wealthy family, will marry Miss Adele Woodwork Oct. 30. He has engaged a natatorium for the evening before and will give bathing party, says Columbus O. dispatch.
 The guests will assemble at the Lin denberg residence in Arlington at s D. m., whence automobiles will convey them to the natatorium.

 Three hours are to be given to the bathing party. then the guests will take automobiles to the Columbus club. where a midnight banquet will close the nights festivities. At the swim ming party the parents of both the bride and bridegroom will serve as chaperons.
 I.indenberg said recently that he had adopted the Idea because 1t was novel in Columbus: though in a modified form it had been carried out in Pitts burg and Milwaukee. Some new form of entertainment was expected on such an occasion. he said. and. while he had no desire to be sensational on the occa- sion of his marriage. the entertainment would be carried out as projected.

Reed, the widow, over $5O0,OO0, which rep resented the original investment hold ings of the estate, and the profits from these and other investments in the last four years.
 The greater part of the estate was in railroad stock, and Mrs Paine. as eexecutOr, ad entire charge of turning these securities into cash It is said that Mir Paine could have wound up the affair of the estate many months ago, but re-inyested large part of the estate funds at the solicitation of Mrs Reed.
 When asked last night if these as- sertions regarding the Reed estate were facts, Mir Paine said. Tt is true that Mrs Reed is now in very com fOrtable circumstances. Whatever have done for the estate, have done gladly. Mir Reed was one of my greatest friends"
 The widow is living in the old Reed homestead in Portland, Me. It will be remembered that Mir Reed. when he retired from public life, did so a comparatively poor man. He said at the time. that he retired to go into the business world to make a little mon- ov

LONDONERS FEEL
 RELIEVED TO-DAY. big Raise in Discount Will Prevent the Further ExpoItatoI Of
 Gold MARKET WAS NERVOUS And American Securities Continued on Their Downward
 Plunge.

London. Oct 2O.-After the surprise caused yesterday by the exceptional increase in the Bank of Englands rate of discount, feeling of great re- lief was manifest today, as it was believed that the six per cent rate will prevent the export of further gold. Nevertheless, the stock market to-day continued to show much ner- vousness, but there was an absence of the feverish excitement of yester- day. American securities continued their downward movement, the open ing prices being in marked contrast to those. of the opening yesterday. Union Pacific opened at l9 1-2, against 193 10 yesterday while U. 5. Steel was offered at IS 3-4 against 5O5S bid yesterday Banking circles showed satisfaction at the fact tnat the Bank of England had been able to stop the continued heavy exports of gold to the United States. A Hrlt- ish financier said to-day:
 "The United States can hardly ex- pect London to finance the whole world, and we are now confident that our six per cent rate is safe ana permanent protection against further inroads on our stock of gold. There is no thought at present of per cent rate, but : and even per cent will be adopted if necessary to pro tect us against an abnormal uepie- ton of the gold reserve. Therefore' if the United States continues 10 re quire gold for the movement or The cotton crops or other needs, we feel that relief should come from the oth- or side Secretary Shaw once before relieved the situation by releasing funds and we. in London. cannot see why he should sit on his gold chests while the United States draws Us needed supply of gold from Londons s depleted stock"

DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
Traffic Suspended in Some Places in New York and Many Streets
 Flooded
NEW ENGLAND CAUGHT IT

The rain storm of last night and this morning amounted to three and half inches of water At times it came down in torrents and notwith- standing that the gutters and catch basins were in good shape, they were not able to take care of the rivers and as result many cellars were flooded in different parts of the city and some of the public ways were pretty badly gullied. In some places people found several feet of water in their cellars and nearly everything in them was spoiled. One man who lives in the north end went into the cellar for kindling wood at an early hour this morning and the first thing he knew he was almost up to his chin in water and he thought seriously of shouting for help. Ev- erybody who ventured out to work got soaked, but great many stop ped at home, preferring to lose a half day rather than battle with the elements. The rain was accompan- jed by high wind which went a good ways towards leaving the trees bare and giving the woods sort of wintry scene. It cleared up shortly after noon, but the weather prophets predicted that the storm was by no means over. Although the rain threw large numbers of people out of work for the day and did some damage in one way and another, still the good 1t did more than offsets the harm. It than to replenish the reservoirs which were getting down so low that the water was almost unfit for drinking purposes.
 New York. Oct 2O.-A series of showers of unusual severity swept over New York and vicinity early to- day, flooding streets and making travel extremely difficult At some points traffic was entirely suspended for a time The tracks of the New York.

New Haven tracks were buried to the depth of from one to two feet and floating ties and other debris blocked the line.
 At the Grand Central station it was said that half an hour was the limit of delay to the trains and that the tracks would soon be cleared.
 The main line of the New York Central road was not affected.
