PLENTY OF WATER.

The rain on Sunday and Monday
caused a lot of trouble for some
people. The melting of the great
amount of ice and snow on the
ground filled up every water course,
from the town cutters to the Sus-
qu.hanna, and made things gener-
ally sloppy. Several cellars were
flooded notably that Of the drum
room of the Magee Carpet Works,
causing suspension of work on
Tuesday.
The river and Fishing Creek
were bank full.
Wilkes Barre, Sunbury, and 9th
er places along the river have been
more or less threatened, the low
lands being inundated.

MILK WAGON SPILLED.

Richard Fruit, of Hemlock town
ship, was on his way to Blooms
burg Monday morning to deliver
milk and cream to his customers.
While driving along the back creek
road, the burr came off the front
wheel. The resulting sudden list
to port scared the horse, which
started to run, but it was soon
stopped by the capsizing of the
craft, which resulted in the spilling
OF the cargo.
Had it not been for clumps OF
bushes, the whole outfit would
have gone into the creek. AS 1t
was, the wagon was damaged and
the horse bruised.

r. p Ellison, president OF the Dav-

encountered in building the canyon

the rock is so poroused that much Of
the water soaks through and finds Its
way back TO the river. To eliminate
this loss, the canal Will have TO be
concreted its entire length although,
to the casual observer. the rocky sides

hold the water.
