His Eyes Filled With Tears,
Boy Goes 10 Reform School

When George FolIin. ffteen-year-, Id
boy. was taken TO the Juvenile Court
yesterday nsorning from the House Of
Detention, where he had been held.
Judge De Lacy, instead Of sending the
boy 10 the Board Of >Childreh's Guar
dams. deci1ed to send him TO the Ma
tionaI Training School, formerly the
Reform School
George bore in his face even evil
dence OF being a good boy. IL only he
had had the proper training. He has
fine eyes and a mouth that shows a
sensitive disposition. He was dressed
in rough clothes-probsbly the only ones
he had. with big, nl-fitting shoes, and a
ragged shirt
Judge De Lacy called him up TO his
desk and talked with him.

ALARMING CONDITIONS.
Paucity of Water Menaces Health
and Business in PENNSYLVANIA.

PITTSBURG. September 19.-With for
est fires destroying much valuable prop
erty, the enforced suspension Of many
industries, crops ruined, live stock suf-
fering, river navigation at standstill
and numerous small streams absolutely
dry. drought which has been practically
unbroken for over two months Is fast
assuming serious proportions in western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West
Virginia.
During four days of this week a rep
resentative Of the Associated Press visit
ed over thirty cities and towns In the
triState district and conditions of an
alarming nature were found on account
of the long dry SPELL At night raging
forest fires light up miles of territory,
while thousands Of persons are doing
everything in their power to check the
flames
Meetings are held at which prayers for
rain are offered. A tour through portions
of the drought. A majority of the small
er streams are as dry as bone, and
their beds are being used as wagon
roads. At number of places along the
Ohio and West Virginia shores OF the
Ohio river there is not a sign of water.
Steamboats, Grounded.
Near Marietta. Ohio. the large steam
boat Tornado. with a tow of barges for
Pittsburg, is lying on a bed of gravel
in the middle of what was the river. AT
many points small streams of water ex-
tend a few yards from shore and boys
after having crossed these. can be seen
playing ball In the middle of the Ohio
Telegraph and telephone COLI panies hav-
ing cables crossing the river are busily
engaged in digging trenches in The river
bed SO the cables can be placed out Of
sight.
Many industries along the river are sus-
pended on account of no water for power
purposes and many others will be idle un-
less rain falls soon.
1t is said of the streams now dry that
it is the first time I'm fifty years that
such a condition has existed.
Coal Laid Up at Pittsburg.
In the Pttsburg harbor there are be-
tween fifteen and twenty million bushels
of coal ready to be shipped to points
south and west of this city. Unless this
fuel reaches It's destination before snow
comes considerable suffering will result
from a coal famine. The great mass of
coal has almost exhausted the supply of
barges here and the probabilities are
many of the river coal Mines employing
over 1900 miners, will be compelled to
suspend operation.
In many communities water is being
sold by the gallon.
To prevent an epidemic of disease the
health authorities are flushing several
streams in the Pittsburg district and
then coating the bed and banks with
lime.

PHILADELPHIA. September 1a.-Prac-
tically the entire state of Pennsylvania
east of the Allegheny mountains is suf-
fering from one of the worst droughts in
years. In some parts of the state no rain
has fallen in more than two months, and
streams are so low that many industries
have been interfered with. and in some
instances plants have been shut down
for the lack of water. Forest fires are
burning in several sections and some To-
calities report that crops will be entirely
ruined unless rain comes soon.
At Shenandoah. in the anthracite coal
regions, the water supply is so low that
farmers are bringing water to the resi-
dents in the town instead of vegetables.
as there is more profit in hauling water
than peddling produce Water sells at s
cents a gallon and many are compelled to
walk three or four miles to get a supply
even at that price. Several coal mines in
that region have been closed because Of
lack of water to run the power plants.
At Duncannon, near Harrisburg. the
Susquehanna river is lower than 1t has
been in more than 100 years. In Sep
TENDER. 1854. the river was lower than it
had been SirNe 1903 and a stone in the
Susquehanna opposite Quncannon was
marked and dated. Yesterday the stone
showed that the river is now ten inches
below the mark placed there in 1874
Schuylkill Lower Than in 1869.
In Philadelphia the Schuylkll river is
lower than it has been at any time since
1869. and canal boats are stranded at
different points in the river between here
and the coal regions.
Forest fires which have spread from
the railroad tracks to the timber lands
are causing much excitement and con-
siderable apprehension about Tobyhanna
and other places on the PoconO mountains
at the eastern edge of the state. A care
full estimate places the area already COW
cred by the flames as 10000 acres. The
fire in some places has reached height
of forty feet and the loss thus far sus-
tanned by various property owners is
great.
There are fires of large proportions at
Cresco. moscow. Gouldsboro and near
Tobyhanna. and an almost perfect string
of fires along what is known as Trout
creek. In much of the region swept there
is no valuable timber, but there are some
areas where a considerable number OF
good trees have been damaged.
