spreading ruin and destruction
throughout the city.
AT s o'clock this morning the water
at Pont Royal touched 26 feet above

hour.
The damage done is inealculable.
The industrial life Of the city is rapid

and surface lines. railroad eommunica-

The disaster locally is due chiefly to
the fact that the whole marvellous un-

which is honcycombed with labyrinths.
is filling up with water. causing sewers
to burst streets to cave i'm and threat
ening the foundations of buildings.
The scene on the river front is ma
jestic but appalling. The stream has
broken the barriers at several points
and is pouring yellow torrents into
surrounding streets, converting them
into veritable lakes. 1t may be neces-
cary to blow up Alma bridge where
the water is but few inches from the
keystone of the arch as dam there

The price Of food has increased ow-

provinces is crippled. The depleted
supply of drinking water has caused
great alarm. With the rise of the
flood but a few inches higher the
pumping stations still in operation
must stop and Paris in the midst of a
miniature ocean, will be without water
fit to drink.
The situation at between twenty and
thirty suburban towns above this city
is worse than the capital itself. At
Charenton, where the swollen Marne
enters the Sein, an erea of 200 square
miles has been flooded. The submerg-

At this point soldiers and firemen are

New York, Jan. 25.-There was a
food Of liquldatlng sales at the open

broke prices severely in all directions.
There was great disorder in trading.
Reports Of the governments antitrust
program and the belief the government
would win the expected decisions in
the American Tobacco and Standard
Oil cases before the supreme court,
were accepted as explanations of the
selling. Toward noon there was a
pause in the flood of liquidating and
prices rallied slightly.
1t was well toward noon before there
were any signs of restraint or un-
bridled liquidating. Stocks, regarding
which there has been any suspicion Of

10Th CENTURY
TRAIN WRECKED
New York Central Limited is De-
rallied Near St. louisville,
N. y, Today.
ENGINEER and FIREMAN DEAD
In Taking Cross Over Engineer Fails
to Slow Down, Probably Not See-
ing Signal, and the En-
gine Turns Over.

Utica, Jan. 25.--The eastbound 2Otl
Century Limited ON the New York
Central railroad was derailed near st
townsville this morning while taking a
cross over from track No. to track
No 2. Engineer Scanlon and Fireman
Handville were killed. The passengers
were thrown from their berths and
some slightly injured.
The engineer and fireman were
crushed under the engine which turned
completely over. No blame appears TO
be attached to the tower man for the
accident as he set the signals in proper
time. The engineer apparently mis-
judged the speed of the train. When
the locomotive struck the cross over
the ponderous machine bounded into
the air and turned over. The sudden
twist wrenched loose the coupling be-
tween the engine and baggage and
mail car and this saved the train from
the ditch. The passengers have been
sent forward on other trains.
Train Going Sixty Miles an Hour.
New York, Jan. 25.-The passengers
on the Twentieth Century Limited were
brought here today. James Kelley,
managing editor of the Chicago Tri-
bune found himself rolled up in a ball
at the end of his berth and when he
unwound himself from the entangling
blankets he left the sleeping car to see
what had happened.
"The Twentieth Century was simply
smeared over four tracks," said Kee-
ley, and 1 never saw anything like it
in my life. 1t appears we were BOOM
ing along about sixty miles an hour
and the towerman had set the signal
to slow down and take the cross over
switch to another track TO pass a
wreck on the track on which we were
running. The engi,.ler evidently didn't
see the. signal forshe took the cross
over s&ftth~ atxyfhg, we happily
missed by six inches a freight standing
on the next track. The engineer stuck
to his engine and his application of the
emergency brakes saved all of our
lives. Former U. S. Senator Hopkins
was on board but escaped injury, and
as far as could learn all the passen-
gers beyond shaking up were un-
hurt"
Keeley and other passengers held
the falling snow undoubtedly screened
the signal from the unfortunate engin-
eer.

LOCAL TALENT ACTS
TO BOOST "HAWAI|''

On Saturday night April % at the
Empire thegter, a number of the best
amateur performers will be seen en-
the stage for the benefit of the yacht
fund. Manager Overend his offered
to turn over his playhouse to the
yacht club with all the talent for the
sole benefit of the Hawaii.
A little over $4,000 is needed for
the actual expense of fitting out and
provisioning the local cup aspirant
for the race this year, and with the
many benefits proposed between now
and the date of her departure for
San Pedro the sum should easily be
realized.
A number of prominent men in
town are willing to contribute some
thing towards Hawaii's representa-
tive this year and it is to be hoped
that nothing will prevent this Terri
tory having an entry in the third
race.
! Charles r. Wilder, one of the best
amateur yachtmen in the islands, mas
been selected to command the Ha-
wall, the navigation of the yacht be-
ing lift to the late mate of the schoon-
err w. II Marston, who is at present
on board the yacht setting up the rig
ging and making other needed re-
pairs
On account of the large expense ne
cessary to lengthen the masts and in
crease the sail area nothing will be
done this year, but it will be done
as soon as the club have the money
to make these needed additions.
The crew will be composed entirely
of amateurs who have offered their
services gratis to the-club, as it would
cost a good deal of money to have a
professional crew.
The date of departure for San
Pedro has not been set but it will
be sometime the latter part of May,
so as to allow plenty of time to sail
up in the event of meeting with head
winds.

MEETING TO ARRANGE DETAILS

=
A meeting of the Oahu baseball lea
que for the purpose of talking over
the coming international baseball Sc
ries in July will be held next Mon
day night at Charles F Chillingworth's
Office at seven thirty Now that de-
finite news has been received from
the Santa Clara team it will be ne
cessary to make up a schedule Of
games which will be started on July
4th.
The Waseda team are expected on
the Japanese liner en- route to South
America some time the latter part OF
June, and will be here in plenty Of
time to timber up before the opening
of the series.
It is possible that the Keio team
will go directly from Japan to Seat
tie on one of the regular liners of the
N. Y. X. company and will return
the same way, cutting out Honolulu
altogether,
From private letters received, the
Waseda team have improved very
much in their game, and are now con-
sidered to be better than the Keio
team that played here two years ago.
The committee who will be chosen
to pick the All Hawaii team will
probably be composed of members Of
the Oahu and big league and viii
be picked at next weeks meeting.
The proposed schedule of games
will be carried over a period of six
weeks which will include two games
each Saturday and Sunday.
Bert Bowers will be asked to OH
ciate as umpire but it is doubtful II
he will be able to accept, as mis-
other business keeps him pretty we'll
tied down.
AS soon as the schedule is ar
ranged, seats for the season will be
placed on sale, and one of the best
seasons of baseball ever played here
will be the order of the day.
