Pittsburg, Jan. 1S.-Eight dynamite
blasts having failed TO break the Al
legheny river dam at Springdale,
where the swirling current has already
swept away ten houses and several
buildings of the Heidenkanp Mirror
works, one more attempt will be made,

The water rushing through the space
where the end Of the dam was washed
away last Tuesday is eating its way
into the bank at the rate Of foot an
hour.
Stream Must Be Diverted.
Unless this stream is quickly divert
ed by breaking the dam at another
point enormous property losses will be
sustained. The value of buildings and
machinery already destroyed is placed
at $4,000, while the ground upon
which they stood has been dug out to
a depth of nearly thirty-five feet If
the effort to blow up the dam proves
unsuccessful it is proposed to have a
diver go down at the center of the
dam, and on coming up make a rough
sketch of its face. Engineers will then

Major Charles Siebert, resident gov.

CUMMINs Is WITH ROOT
Endorses the Premier's Views as to the
Relations Between State and
United States.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 18. - For the
third time Albert B. Cummins has
been inaugurated governor of the state
of Iowa. He delivered an inaugural
address in which he took advance
ground in the matter of the corpora
ton and other issues now before the
country. He declared that he stood
unequivocally for the election Of Unit
ed States senators by the people.
Concerning the duty of the states he
said: Il believe with Secretary Root
that the failure on the part of the vari-
GUS commonwealth to do their full
duty in bringing their legislation into
harmony with existing conditions will
necessarily result in the usurpation of
functions by the general government -

ENCOURAGE COOKING SCHOOLS.

The widespread interest in cooking
clubs in this city includes not only the
housewife who is compelled to do her
own cooking, but also those who have
competent help and do not find it
necessary to spend much of their time
in their kitchens, and is significant be-
cause it has already proven conclus-
lively that the American housewife, as
good cook as she is reputed to be,
still has a great deal to learn about
domestic science.
If the housewives who have had
educational advantages find that they
have a great deal to learn about do
mestic science and domestic economy
and derive great benefit from the
weekly classes in cookery IN which
they learn not only how to cook, but
also the relative nutritive values of
foods; how much more important it
is that the laboring classes who find
economies in every department Of the
home necessary. have the advantages
OF instruction along these lines.
The movement started by Mrs. Quig-
ley and which is spreading SO rapidly
points unquestionably to the need in
Hammond public schools of a course
Of domestic science for the girls, and
Incidentally to the need of manual
training for the boys.
Hammond is far behind the times II
tllis respect and yet, because OF the
fact that 1T is a manufacturing am
Industrial center, it is more in need OF
these practical courses than many Of
the cities that have already made thi:
a part of the public instruction.
1t has taken years for some of thC
old school pedagogs Of this country

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The stock mar
ket assumed a very panicky condition
rom the opening regardless OF the
fact that London sent over higher
prices for the American rails. The
liquidation which was so conspicuous
yesterday was again in evidence and
It not only affected the lower priced
shares but the standard rails as we'll
st. Paul was the principal feature
of the higher priced shares.
The trading was on a gigantic scale.
Sales on one thousand share lots was
Of no uncommon occurrence. From an
opening around 155 it gradually de-
clined to 1863, catching stop orders all
the way down, closing at the lowest
price of the day and incidentally the
lowest figure recorded since the pres
ent liquidation started on this bear
campaign.
copper also felt the weakness OF the
general market and showed a decline
of about four points for the day. There
is no special news given out to cause
the decline in copper; the metal situa-
ton continues as strong as heretofore.
But disappointment over the failure Of
the company TO increase the dividend
rate is assigned as one of the reasons
for the drastic liquidation which has
been going on during the past two
days. The market today had the APP
pearance of influential selling and
some of the shrewdest traders in the
street are of the opinion that the
Standard Oil crowd is responsible for
this severe shake-out.
The market generally closed weak
and feverish with indications pointing
to further liquidation throughout the
list.

The president took a deep interest

federal legislation giving the Interstate
