great Iakps. At 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing tho wind reached its maximum veloc
ity and blew nt the rate of til) miles an
hour up to 5 o'clock. Hnln has been
falling almost continuously since Sat
urday. Tho lowest temperature was 84
degrees yesterday morning, but the pierc- i
lng wind made it seem colder.
The wind was from the north and
northeast, and the main storm passed
Just south of here. The Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies report
that many of their wires are down, not
only In this but In other states. Most of
the damage is east of this city. Con

have been busy aiding in the work of res
cue. Nearly all the basements in the
business district are junior water. Thn
property loss will be considerable. Tele
phone messages from points along the
headwaters of the Chemung report the
worst Hoods since 1SND. At Knoxville,

GUYANDOTTK. W. Va.. Nov. 27.
Continuous rains for the past 4H houi
have produced unprecedented floods in

tributaries are overflowing their banks
and are bearing away quantities of cross
ties, lumber and other property. Some
O.ttOO logs have gone out, taking with
them the false works of the two new rail
road bridges south of Harboursville. Tho
loss is estimated at .$20.000 to $2.1,000. The
track of the new Guyamlotte Valley rail
road, just completed to Salt Rock, a dis
tance of IS miles, has been almost mined.
The river Is rising above, aud still more,

BEAT TJIEC0KNETI8T
FOR the Inst year or o," iwiil a young
man about town, "a little puny of
good fellows, including myself, have been
occupying rooms on the second floor of an
old huiidir.g near Jackson siptnre. It is a
ramshackle barracks, but the atmosphere is
delightfully boheminn, and we were all im
niensely pleased' with our ipinrters until
about six weeks ngo, when a young German
bookkeeper rented the lust vnciint mem in
the hail. lie was a pompous, pink-fared
chp, with white eyelashes and a military
walk, Bnd, while you could at a glance
that there wns nothing congenial about him,
we could no doubt have put up with his
presence nil right if it hadn't been for the
fact that he played the cornet.
"The first niglit the new lodger tuni-d up
every man on the floor thought it was sim
ply a practical joke; but whi n it began all
over again tuxt i veiling, we put up a tic
mendoiis kick. The German was perfectly
calm. He said he belonged to a music so
ciety and wns obliged to practice his parts.
He had no other place for rehearsal', lie aid,
and, having rented his room for six months
without any special conditions, he proposed
to toot just as fteipietitly and vociferously
as he pleased. It' we didn't like it we could
go to blazes, or words to that cfltct; and
thereupon he shut, the door and ftiwtcd in
on a 1i lint.
"I must confess the fellow's deadly coolness
sof t of awed us, and when we held a council
of war nobody had any pra ticn! suggestion
to ofler. ( H courv, one or two were in favor
of a slugging match then and there, but
'wiser counsels prevailed,' as tiny say in the
papers when the lynching delegation for
gets the rope, and we dreided vaguely to try
moral suasion. tt until t work worth a
cent. Then we attempted counter-irritation
in the shape of pounding on puns and tiling
saws, but the cornetist kept right on
through all the uproar without mifsiug a
note. One of the boys undertook to get him
ill link, I in t was laid out stiff himself at two
a. m., and the German practiced for the
balance of the night deadly sober. When
we appealed to the landlord he only s-hnigged
his shoulders and turned out the palms ol
his hands.
"The room next to the German," contin
ued the young man, "is occupied by my
friend 1 til lee. who works in an architects of
fice. One evening, about two weeks aftet
the trouble began, 1 was pa-sing his dool
when J was startled by the nios,t blood
curdling growl I .ever heard in my life. It
wns not very loud, but there was a concen
trated, tigerish ferocity about it that madi
my hair bristle on my head. It was such a
sound ns one would imagine might be niaild
by some savage ben-t hull' crazy with rage ot
hunger. 1 stopped stisk Mill, too surprised
to think, nnd again the growl sounded from
the o!osd room, longer und more terrifying
thun before.
"At that the German's door flew open
and he came bouncing into the hull as pale
as a ghose. 'My Gott!' he gasped; 'whut it
dot, anyhow?'
"Before I could reply Billee himself ap
peared. 'Good-evening, gentlemen,' he
said, pleasantly; '1 hope my pet isn't uu
noying you.'
" 'What the dickens have you got in there
Billee?' I asked.
" 'A llondurian pig-dog,' he replied; 'a
very rare animal, given to me this morning
by a friend from Central America. This one
has a record as a man-killer,' he went on,
'and has already chewed up four or live na
tives; but I'm going to tame him and teach
him to do tricks.'
'"Where do you keep the brute?' I in
quired, beginning to smell a rat.
" 'I have him tied up in my cloutt,' h
said.
"At that the cornetist turned green. The
closet is a double affair, opening into both
rooms, With only a flimsy purtition between.
'In dor closet!' the inir-ician roared
'You must take him audt right away! Dot
pig-dog might bite the boards through!'
" 'Well, sir,' suid Billee, calmly, 'I rented
my room without any special conditions at
to pig-dogs, and I propose to keep him in
the closet as long us I jolly well please
Good evening.'
"Needless to say, Billee's pig-dog became
the sensation of the hour, and while we ull
understood thut it was a put up job of some
kind, nobody could imagine how it w
done. We could hear the growls and Bil
lee's voice speaking to the creature at the
same time, so it was evidently not a vocal
imitation, and he replied to all question
with a mysterious smile. 'Wait and see,
he said, and mehnwhile he was careful t
lock the door every time he went out. 'Il
would be a terrible thinir.' he remsrl-vd
casutilly, 'if that pig-dog were to got loose j
in the hall.
"On the second night the cornetist tuned
up rather timidly, nnd instantly the pig
dog began to growl. For a few moment
the duel continued. Then Billee came into
the hall and knocked on the German's door.
'Kxcuse me,' he said, very politely, 'but I
wish to inform you thnt music infuriatei
this animal of miue, and it is impossible foi
me to control him while yon are playing. It
is nothing to me,' he added, 'and you may do
as you please; but I felt it my duty to put
you on notice.'
" 'I shall complain to the police,' said the I
cornetist, furiously.
" 'AH right,' said Billee, and presently the 1
tooting was resumed, but it lacked its usuul 1
vigor. At each note the snarls of the pig-
Aiir fa fttnrfnl I r Union In nt in olw... !
an hour the concert came to an abrupt
close.
"Well, the new lodger stood it exactly
one week, and, 'pon my word, he had my
sympathy. Every evening he barricaded hit
clotet door with all the furniture in his
room, and I have my doubts whether he
slept a wink. 1 know he invested in a shot
gun und about a bushel of ammunition, and
he exhausted everything in the way of pro
test, both to the landlord Hnd the author
ities. At last he surrendered abruptly,
moved out .bug und bnggnge early one after
noon, und we arrived in the evening to tind
him gciue.
"That night we celebrated the capitula
tion by a grand smoker in Billee's room, and
us a special feature of the entertainment he
divulged the mystery of the pig-dog. It was
absurdly simple. Billee, an 1 already men- j
tinned, works in an architect's ollice, und, i
among other odds and ends in his (juurters j
is a drawing board covered with ordinary
coarse caiivus. The snarl of the pig-dog
was produced by merely scraping a table.,
knife over the surface. It made u sort of"
'owww-w-w-w!' that didn't sound partic
ularly impressive when one saw the trick j
being done, but when out of sijjit the illu- !
ion was perfect. Moreover, the note could
be raised or lowered by varying the speed
of tut scraping, and the effect was amazing
ly aniniiil-ltlc?. Billee made the d is-cowry
by accident, while- trying to erase un ink
spot, nnd the scheme flashed nt once into
his brain. The name 'pig-ekig' was an iu
spirutioM of tho moi ,nt.

The reported destruction of the fa

Gliicier bay, Alaska, by un eui'thuijukc
Inst yeur in pronounced untrue by
AYilliiim E. Pmrce, who pot within four
tulles of the ulncicr iu August of this
year on the excursion steamer Queen,
says the New York Sun. Peiirce says:
"The Muir glacier is just as grnnd
as ever. The trouble this season has
been that vessels have not been able
to get close enough for passengers to
6ee it. The earthquake shook off large
masses of Ice from the face of the
glucler, which, when floating In the
bay, appear as huge icebergs and block
the passage of vessels. Hy next sen
son the bay will be clear again und
the glacier can be approached as in
former years.
"The damage by the earthquake il
but as u drop in the bucket. I can bet
ter explain its work by saying that It
-took off the face of the glacier for 50
feet or so, while the main body extends
back, visible to the eye, 20 miles. The
glacier runs back from its face on Gla
cier liny to the head of the Davidson
glacier, which faces on Lynn canal, a
distance of 45 miles. All this season
Muir inlet has been full of smnll bergs,
so that vessels, ufter proceeding ns
(far as they could, were forced to back
"out. On the August trip of the Queen
the surface of the glacier looked to
be from 25 to 30 feet high, but it is

ENGINEERS' HAUNTED HOUSE.
New York Railway Men Affected b
, the Memory of a Dead Fuce
! nt a Window,
' "Some houses ore haunted to some
people nnd all right to others," suid an
engineer on the Ninth avenue elevated
road, relates the New York Sun.
i"There'ls a house on our line that is
haunted to the men who have been on
this run for u few years back. Maybe
,you remember the story. It was print
ed when the incident happened. One
of our men noticed a man's fuce nt the
window overlooking the rond. Every
time the train passed for three days, I
believe, the engineer suw the fuce". It
was always the same. Then he told
somebody else about it and on Investi
gation It was discovered thnt the man
at the window was dead. He occupied
the room alone. There wns no one else
In the house. He had killed himself nnd
in a note found on his table It wns writ
ten thnt the man wns lonesome, and
that he had raised the window just
before the net so thnt he might die in
the noise of the city. That, w as all there
was to the story.
"Every since thnt time every en
gineer and flremnn on the line who was
employed nt that time turns his face
nwoy In pusslng thnt house. - I have
heard them nil speak of it, and to each
of them thut house Is hnuntcd. nl
t hough it Is now occupied, and I don't
suppose the people who live there know
nnything about the story. I know I
have tried to forget it, but just before
my engine passes it the recollection
of the dead fuce ut the win. low comes
buck to me nnd I 1 il lic r close mv cyi s
or look In an oppt.slte (liriclon."
