whipped all the way. Lavender
pitched his best ball of the year. He
has allowed fewer hits on two or
three occasions, but never before in
1915 did he pitch with such ease and
confidence. The entire team ap-
peared to be playing together. And
that spirit will win ball games in the
National league this season, for sew
eral of the teams are in the dOldrUms 3
and have no hope of emerging from
the rUck.
But playing such baseball for one
day will avail nothing. The popular
belief that the PhiIlies would fade in
the scorching sun is rapidly dissOlv-
ing and Brooklyn has now come for
ward with a fine and interested brand
of baseball to threaten the leaders.
Philadelphia is getting some good
pitching from Demaree and RiXey to-
assist Alexander and Mayer, who
have done the bulk of the winning so
far. Moran is wisely using Alexander
only every fourth day, and the Ne.
braskan is as strong as he was at the
start of the season. The Phils are
playing without fear of slump, for
they are confident that they can lose
only three straight under any condi-L
lions, never figuring that Alex is beat-t
able. 3
This cannot help but have an ex-]
alting effect on the morale of the
team, and it also serves as a tonic
to the other pitchers.
BrooEdyn's team on paper is the
best in the league and is at last max
ing a real run for the top.
There is no reason why the Ma
tional and American should hog the
hmehght, however. In the Federal
the fight between the leading trio is
just as desperate as in the two or
ganized circuits, and Whales, st.
Louis and Kansas City can all change
places on one days results. d

The Shoe Situation.

Most footwear manufacturers are receiving
an increased volume of orders. wholesalers ap.
parently realizing that there is little prospect
of shoe values tending downward. owing to the
strength and scarcity of leather. Moreover,
the large Russian contract for army boots is
expected to make heavy inroads into certain
supplies of leather. Low temperatures stimu-
late broadening operations among retailers,
who are quite encouraged regarding the outlook
for the rail- and winter seas ons. Chief firm
ness in leather centers on stock wanted for
export, or on goods used in the production of
boots and shoes for foreign armies.-Dun's

THE FLOODS IN LOUISIANA.
Great Destruction Of Property and Loss Of
Life

Life.
A West Indian hurricane reached the Gul
of Mexico Sept. 29th and ripped its way north
ward through the Mississippi valley. causing
property damage estimated at approximate,
$1200O,00O. while the number of the know
dead, Oct. I'd. was 1893 and the missing $40
The greatest damage was done in New Ur
leans. along the gulf coast and inland through
the Lake Ponchitrain district of Louisiana
Lake Ponchitrain is body of salt water in the
rear of New Orleans that is entered from Mo.
bile bay, and before the building of the rail.
road connecting the two cities the Morgan line
of steamers made daily trips between Mobile
and New Orleans, landing passengers for the
latter place at the Lake End, where they took
the Ponchitrain railroad for the city. Both the
lake in the rear and the Mississippi river in
front. unless at q very low stage, are higher
than the city and the water fronts are pro-
tected by levees. or as they are called in HoI-
land, and in this section of the country, dykes.
These extend on both banks of the Mississip.
pi from New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico,
and for many miles above the city. The hur-
ricane, producing what is called a tidal wave,
forced its way up the river and overflowed. and
in some places carrie away, the levees and
flooded the adjacent country, damaging un-
picked cotton in the rich cotton fields of the
delta and destroying orange groves and crops
generally. All towns inland for so miles were
badly damaged. The wind blew over 40 miles
an hour and was accompanied by heavy rain
At New Orleans eleven small craft sank and
six steamships were damaged. The United
otates converted yacht Stranger, assigned to
the Louisiana naval militia, was rammed by the
huge dry dock at the naval station and went to
the bottom. The gunboat Petrol was in the
dry dock at the time. The monitor Amphit.
rite was driven aground. There was no wire
communication with the outside world throupb.
out the day but brief radio messages telling of
the city's condition were sent to Mobile through
the wireless on the steamship Excelsior
In past years it was not unusual to have two
or three feet of water in some of the streets
of New Orleans. though only for a few hours
at a time. The city then had surface drain
age, the cutters emptying into drainage can
ais extending to the lake. where steam pumps
discharged the water into the lake. A sudden
tropical rain would bring down such volume
of water that the cutters could not carry it
off and people caught at places of amusement
by such storms paid all kinds of prices for
carriages to take them home. On one occasion
the writer was glad to be ferried on a dray to
his home on Canal street. One time there was
a break in the levees above New Orleans, but
the water spread over large extent of coun-
try and found its way into the swamps with
out affecting the city. On another occasion
the break was on the opposite side of the
river and Algiers. opposite, and the adjacent
country, were flooded. New Orleans now has
sewer system, but pumps must be used as
formerly to dispose of the sewage.

Pond

WINTERPoRT, Oct. 3. By jumping into a
pond near her house, Mrs. J. S. Cyr saved her
life Saturday morning when an oil stove in her
kitchen exploded setting fire to her clothes and
badly burning her body. With her clothes in
flames Mrs. Cyr had the presence of mind to
rush for the pond which lies just back of the
house and throwing herself into the water the
flames were quickly extinguished. When she
returned to the house she found it in flames
and the efforts of Mr.. Cyr and neighbors were
of no avail in confning the blaze, which soon
spread to the adjoining rooms totally destroy
ing the house and barn. Part of the furniture
was saved and also part of the stock of gro-
ceries which was kept in the front of the house
which was used as a general store conducted
by Mrs. Cyr. The loss will be about SIS, 900
There is partial insurance The burned house
is about two miles from the village near the
B & A. railroad station. 1t was story and q

ers OF Troy vs. Leslie J. Ward of Troy. In
May. 1914, Ward bargained for the Roger saw
mill in Troy, giving him bond tor deed in
the sum of $4,000. The contract by which Mr..
Rogers was to receive pay for the mill through
the defendants work in it. and for him, was
much involved, causing the Judge to remark
that Mr.. Rogers should have been a lawyer
The drouth Of 1914 caused the contract to be
brought to close by Mr.. Ward leaving the
premises. The account annexed was lengthy
one showing total deficit of $l,405.e4 with
credits of $915.60 leaving balance of $3.50 "a,
for which the suit was brought. Judge Geo.
Z. johnson was employed to audit the &C.
counts and he placed the balance at $377 10,
disallowing Rogers the full amount claimed
on work Of turning rattle handles and finish
ing four carriages. John W. Manson, for de-
fendant. claimed that Ward actually used the
mill only n of the 1859 days in the account an
nexed because of the lack of water in the sum-
mer Of 1914. R. F. Dunton. for plaintiff, was
not willing to allow credits claimed by de-
fendant in the handle and carriage work, but
in every other respect the auditors account
stood. Tuesday forenoon the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $24310.
