DAM LOST
AT JAMESBURC
Concrete Work Swept Away
by Rush of Water.
spec{dl TO the EVENING NEWS.

Jamesburg, Sept. 2.-Unable to
stand the terrible strain of the large
volume Of water behind it, the Golfer
dam just put down by the contract
ors having the job of building the
new fifteen thousand dollar concrete
walls and dam to take the place of
the lam destroyed about eight weeks
ago, was destroyed yesterday after
noon when the heavy timbers gave
way, taking with it in its mad rush
all the heavy timbers in its path
used in the building of the new dam.
A peculiar and wonderfully dem
onstration of the power of the water
was the raising Of the twenty-four
foot piling from the bed of the lake
and carrying away OF same. 4 ditch
twelve feet deep running from the
dam proper to the railway station
was almost completely filled with
sand and stone. Messrs. Frederick
and William Buckelew, owners of
the lake property and engineer Mey-
ers, estimated the damage done by
the freshet to exceed $4,000.
The breaking OF the Golfer dam
was anticipated so great was the
water and a large hole vas cut in
the new wooden dam to allow the
water to go through. The railroad
authorities also anticipated trouble
and were on the scene with a heavy
train ready to repair the trestle that
crosses the brook in the path of the
overflow. The water had risen to a
height within a few inches of the
railroad bridge and for a time
threatened to do considerable dam
age, Work will be pushed on the
repair of the damage at once along
different lines.

Reasons for the Inevitable War be-
tween Capital and Labor.

tween Capital and Labor.
In Why Men Fight for the Closed
Shop" in The American Magazine
for September, Clarence barrow
gives a clear, sane statement of the
Labor Unions position. To prove
the necessity of Labor Organization,
he writes as follows:
This effort of the capitalist to get
labor as cheapfy as possible makes
him encourage the immigration of
men and women with lower stand
ards Of living makes hi mbid for the
European in place of the American;
for the Asiatic in place OF the Euro
pean; the woman instead of the man,
and the child instead of the omar
while the constant invention of great
machines have made the method OF
production simple and done away
with the need of learning a trade.
The capitalist is seeking to get his
labor as cheaply as he can, and the
workman, like the coal dealer, is
using every effort to get as high a
price as possible for the one thing
which he has to sell-his toll. The
equities of the matter can have moth
ing to do with the case. Even though
an employer might wish to pay high
er wages, he is still bound by the
laws of trade and cannot survive if
he pays substantially more than 9TH

der ordinary weather conditions the trip
from Trinidad to the Chesapeake is made
IN about month, but as there have
been several storms on the portion of

take somewhat longer. The asphalt the
vessel has aboard will be discharged al

a cargo of laths from st. Johns, New

OYSTER ON CRABS BACK.
Freak Discovered by 0ysterman and
Placed on Exhibition.

AZ an oyster commission house at BaIe-
moro last week there was on exhibition .
crab, one Of the common blue Chesa-
peake bay variety. which had Erowfna
upon its top shell a well developed oys-
ter. The crab was recently caught IN
the Patuxent river. Md, by an cyster-
man, who sent the curiosity to the Bal
timore merchants.
1t is well known that oyster spat Will
attach itself 20 any hard object and they
are often found growing on old shoes,
broken bottles. sticks and even inside a
bottle. Not long ago there was on eS
hibition at the Washington wharf a large
oyster growing out OF the bowl OF an old
clay pipe. but this Is the first time that
oyster spat was ever known 20 perrnR-
nently attach itself to a moving object.
The theory has always been that the
object to which the spat attaches must
remain in one spot or the oyster will not
develop.

VETERAN CUT TOPECES
BY AN EXPRESS TRAIN
Inmate of Soldiers Home In
stantIy Killed Near La
m0nd Station.

John Owings. an inmate of the Soldiers
Home, was struck Wy an incoming express
train from Chicago and instantly killed
yesterday morning while walking on the
railroad tracks near LAmond station, a
short distance from Terra Gotta. His body
was cut into three pieces.
Engineer II. Hoffman did not see Ow-
ings in time to give him sufficient warn
ing. The soldier was alone. walking along
the westbound track An approaching
freight train attracted his attention. So
much noise was being made by the freight
train, 1t is thought, that Owings did not
hear the express approaching.
Stepping from the westbound to the east
bound track, Owings was directly in front
of the fast train. In an instant the loco
motive had decapitated him and had
severed his legs from his body.
Engineer Hoffman stopped the train and
had Conductor g. A. kimmett go back to
investigate. The police and morgue en-
ployes took charge of the remains
