 Superintendent Costello was a busy man and worked like d beaver all day, chasing up and down the road.
 The strikers seemed to have a some what scant knowledge of the signals, for they were constantly in hot water with the engineers who worked eau tiously through the well filled yards. Engines were at work at both ends of the yard.
 A shipment of ice in box ears from South Wilmington stood upon the fourth track for hours placidly melting away. The ice was billed for New London, ing still for it.

BALLOON PASSED OVER.
Came from Direction of AndoVer and Went Toward MansheId-Seen by Many.

Quite a number of people in this city saw balloon that came from the direction of Andover as it passed over this city headed in the direction of Mansfield about o'clock Thursday morning. Among those to witness the aerial flight were City Clerk A. c. Scripture, Principal Henry T. Burr E. J. Hunt. Thomas F. Grady and Harry Worden, as well as some oth- CTS.
 Mrs. Fred A. Sackett of Andover saw the balloon at first and could see that it had a single passenger, the man operating the air bird.
 As it passed over this city it was very high in the air and no living thing could be distinguished with the naked eye.
 It is believed that the balloon came from North Adams, Mass, but the one seen passing over Southington about six o'clock is said to have con- tained three people. Therefore the

A Popular Deception.

The WiDl1Sburg Herald takes no stock in the popular impression tha& the Doll weevil and four weeks Of wetsHe24tter have wrought great injHry to the cot ton crop. That neDspaper Aas heard from a great number of growers to the effect that the boil WeeVil damage so far seems less than a year ago. A visiting cotton grower from Texas confirms this hopeful view. He reports that Texas will make something like 100000 bales of cotton this year. and concludes; "rhe people of Louisiana and Mississippi made a great mistake by getting so demoralized over the boil weevil and letting their labor leave and selling their mules for nothing They will want both back before they are two years older, unless they can get Polanders and Germans to rent their land"

SEINE is FALLING.
River Recedes sIowIy-new PeriIs foI
Stricken Civ

River Recedes SIowIy-new PeriIs for
Stricken City.
Paris, Feb. From midnight until
noon today the subsistence of the river
Seine averaged only a third Of an inch
an hour. The weather continued ia
vorable, with rising barometer. The
recession of the waters in some of the
streets was noticeable during the fore
noon.
Beginning this morning, the authori-
ties concentrated their efforts on the
restoration Of the crippled public SER
vices, and the establishment of a
now demoralized railroad cor1munica-
ton. There is no prospect Of restor-
ing the electric light and power sys.
.ems this week.
The small loss Of life throughout the
period of the disaster is a surprising
feature. Reciting of public prayers
continues in the churches.
The disaster, as told by figures is
as follows:
Damage, $500, 0oO, 900.
Lives lost, 100.
Area of Inundated regions, 9h
square, miles.
Maximum height of Seine, 80 feet.
ii c
Sewers flooded or burst by waters
900 miles.
Worst flood since 1858.
Persons homeless, penniless or
otherwise affected, 100,O 00.
Refugees who fed into the city, 975.
Americans in Paris, 100000.
Relief funds contributed, 81, 500. 600.
River falling now.
New perils are: Fire, Apaches and
pestilence.
Exciting rowboat chases after Grim
mails in the outskirts of the city &C.
Cured during the night. In several
instances the apacnes were fired upon
by the p%ursures. Three Of the fugi-
tivas were shot dead. Two others
were hanged from lamp posts as ex-
amples Of the fate for those detected
in the acts of pillage and violence.
The women of the French nobility
are playing an important part in the
work of the relief.
