VERY LITTLE DOING ;
AT ANTHRACITE MINES !
i
Reports Show Record Decrease in
Business During First Six
Months of Year
| July was a second month of ex
! tremely low anthracite production. It
!Is probable that when the Bureau of
! Anthracite Statistics Issues the official
i figures next week it will be found that j
! not more than 5,000,000 tons of i
.anthracite have been shipped to ma/-;
; ket. The shipment In July last year
[amounted to 5,391,857 tons,
j Operators state that the market for
J anthracite has not been so dull In
| years. Most of the collieries are work-
I ing only two or three days a ween,
I and there is no immediate prospect
j of a resumption of full time.
The expenses of keeping the mines
in condition to work—drainage, venti
lation. timbering, repairing, replace
ments, inspecting—are al) going on,
but the amount of coal shipped to
market In the first six months of this
year was 1,350,485 tons less than in
the first six months of 1914.
July Freight Traffic
Shows Further Increase
The number of loaded freight cars
passing eight Junction points on Penn

per cent. The total loaded movement
passing Lewlstown Junction in July
was 100,909 cars, an increase of 2965,
or J per cent., and the dally average
movement was 5,23 7 cars, an Increase
of 2,965, or 3 per cent. Loadings of

THE NEW DOIXAR SIGX
Some of the Administration officials
scoffed at the report that Captain Rob
ert Dollar, president of the Dollar
Company of steamship lines, was go
ing to dfspose of his vessels because
of the seamen's bill which goes into
operation November 4, next, would
make the operation of these lines un
profitable. "That is all a bluff!" they
declared. Now comes the report that
Captain Dollar has sold two of his ves
sels. one to a Chinese, and the other to
a British firm, and arrangements are
under way for the sale of a third.
This will leave the Hill liner,
Minnesota, the only steamer flying the
American flag in the trans-Paciflc
trade. Will Secretary Redfleld kindly
subtract the Dollar tonnage from his
next report on the growth of our mer
chant marine?

minute to leave and In several CSBOS
the families still refused to seek safe
ty. Four blocks on either side of the
stream, Including State tsreet. the
main business artery o Ithe city were
coveted with a depth of from six
inches to live feet.
The Leemeigen Wagon Works and
the Wilson Machine shops, each oc
cupying nearly half a block, were the
largest structures to be swept away.
The Jareckl and Loveil Wood Work
ing plants, two of the largest manu
factures In the city, were covered with
fifteen feet of water. Early this morn
ing gas mains all over the city were
cut oft and telephone, street car and
electric Utrhting service were para
lyzed.
Rescue forces of police, firemen and
lite savers were augmented during the
day by civilian volunteers and prepa
rations were made to work by artificial
light during the night.
The immense piles of wreckage form
barriers from fifty to seventy feet high
in the mile course of the fiood through
the city's business section and the task
before the workers is a tremendous
one. Some buildings were totally de
molished, while others were tossed vir
tually intact upon the hills between
which the torrent rushed. The bodies
of some of the victims were found a
mile from the spot where they were
caught by the rush of water and it is
considered likely that some were car
ried out into the lake.
A systematic canvass of the city for
persons reported missing was begun by
the police at noon.
Krie citizens responded generously
to the calr for funds for the suffering
and homeless issued by Mayor Stern.
The mayor announced that a thorough
investigation of the disaster vyill be
made, calling attention to the fact that
warning of the danger from Mill creek
had been given in 1893 when It over
flowed its banks and caused some loss
of life.
Hundreds Sheltered
The charitable societies, the armory,
hotels and hastily organized shelter
clubs gave refuge to hundreds who
saved but their own lives and a few
meager belongings. The darkness, the
danger of broken electric wires and
the twenty-five mile current of the
flood made the work of rescue ex
tremely perilous and even details of
the drowning of quarter of a hundred
thought lost in the flood were ob
scure. The body of John Higgins
washed up at Sixth and German streets
was the only body recovered at day
light. The life-saving crews from the
Lake Erie shore front and the mem
bers of the naval militia started the
search for others known to have been
swept away.
The narrow escape of Fire Chief
McMahon with four firemen after
their successful attempt to rescue
three women led to the report of their
death, but they jumped to safety from
second story windows as the house
was washed away from under them.
Only three serious accidents had
jjeen reported at the hospitals up to
an early hour this morning. Two
would-be rescuers were struck by
floating debris and sustained broken
legs while a third was nearly drowned
when the Fourteenth street bridge
was swept away.
Dozen Trnlns Stalled
The washout of the main line of
the New York Central and the Penn
sylvania railroads stalled a dozen or
more passenger trains here with no
prospect of their departure for a cou
ple days. One crowded train bound
for New York was brought to a stand
on the viaduct forty feet over the
path of Mill creek and those on board
for hours watched houses and house
hold goods swept down In the torrent.
The rush of the water down State
street flooded nearly every store on
the thoroughfare and floating wreck
age added to the damage by smashing
hundreds of display windows.
Debris Piled High
Throughout the night the torrent
of rain continued with only brief in
tervals of clear weather. Only the
wide mouth of the creek at the lake
shore prevented a much more serious
devastation. Piles of debris In the
streets intersecting the path of the
flood were heaped up fifteen feet high
in some cases and similar filth washed
into homes along the course of the
stream caused perhaps the greatest
items of damage. A dozen of the
largest plants in the city will be closed
down for ten days or two weeks until
the machinery in the first floors can
be cleared away. Stretches of Mill
creek had been covered over in sev
eral places and homes and factories
had been built over the ordinarily
quiet stream. Wreckage lodged in
these culverts and caused the water
to back up until it spread far over
each bank. Early this morning as de
tails of the disaster began to collect,
the story of Firemen Sherry and Bates
stood out among the scores of heroic
acts. Taking a girl from her home
on the creek bank, they started down
the telephone pole which had en
abled them to reach her, when the
house fell against the pole and all
three were swept Into the swift cur
rent. A block farther down the trio
were pulled from the stream by the
almost superhuman efforts of other
firemen.
Traffic Tied Jp by Big
Storm; Bridge Damaged
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 4. Traffic
between the east and west over both
the Lake Shore and the Nickel Pla'ie
railroads was completely tied up from
the time the cloudburst let go over
Erie last night until 8 o'clock this
morning when officials of both roads
reported that communication had
been re-established with the west over
temporary single tracks. Washouts
unprecedented in depth and extent
and the loss of culverts and part of
one bridge through which & Treight
train crashed, it was said were the
worst features of the problem facing
the operating.officials.
Reports of damage to tracks began
to come througl* before midnight and
at that hour word waja received that
all four tracks of the Lake Shore and
those of the Nickel Plate had been
swept away between Erie and Moore
heads, the first station east.
Trains that had passed through
Buffalo westbound were recalled early
to-da.v and sent over the Michigan
Central's Canadian line to Detroit.
These included the Twentieth Century
westbound, which left New York yes
terday afternoon, the Boston and Chi
cago special, the Southwestern Special
leaving New York at 4 p. m.. the I-nke
Shore limited out of Buffalo and the
Big Tour Limited, which left New
York at 6:45" p. m„ and half a dozen
eastbotind trains inducing So. 26, the
eastbound Twentieth Century due in
New York at 9:40 a. m. to-day were
held up by washouts.
The rainstorm which culminated in
the cloudburst at Erie, covered all of
Northern Pennsylvania and Western
New York. It began wjth a terrific
downpour yesterday afternoon and
continued practically without oessation
all through the night and well on into
the day. In no place except in the
immediate vicinity of Erie however,
did It approach the cloudburst stage.

PEIA. STEEL HAS
50,000 TON ORDER
Lebanon Mill Helping to Torn Out
Pig Iron For Steelton
Plant
The Pennsylvania Steel Company,
according to a dispatch from Lebanon,
has obtained an order for 50,000 tons
of pig Iron.
Shipments of from 800 to 1000 tons
daily are now being made from tjie
Lebanon plant to fill this order, which
is said to be one of the largest ever
landed by the local concern.
On Friday, July 23, the steel com
pany began to ship pig Iron away
from its furnaces Just north of the
Lebanon city limits. Huge piles of
the material have been stored here
for months.
Since that date dally shipments have
been made and already more than 200
car loads have left the Lebanon plant
As each car has a capacity of from 40
to 50 tons of the material, it is esti
mated that about 10,000 tons havo
been sent out within the past ten
days.
Just how much the pig Iron Is sell
ing at is not known, says the Lebanon
dispatch, but the kind turned out at
the Lebanon plant Is graded as "low
phosphorus," listed in commercial
at sl4 to sl6 per ton. At the lowest
figuro a. 60,000 ton order would mean
$70,000 to the local company.
The news of this tremendous order,
the dispatch says, is pieasing to em
ployes and officials of the Lebanon
plant. The pig iron has been stored
in huge piles about the plant for
months and outward shipments were
Irregular. This order, it is said, will
be filled entirely from the company's
surplus and will not handicap the fill
ing of other orders.

CITY OFFICIALS ARE
SHOWN PAXTON CREEK
[Continued From First Page.]
the first contractor, Karl T. Opper
man to install proper equipment and
proceed in an economical and satis
factory way; the later failure of the
contractor to whom the completion of
the job was let by the Maryland Casu
alty Company, the necessary changes
to property retaining walls, etc.,
which were caused by the Indefinite
character of the creek lines—these
were only a few of the reasons why
the creek fund will be somewhat
short. Provision has been made for
building the invert over the proposed
change In water mai«s out State
street. And these reasons were ex
plained in detail to Mayor Royal and
the other members of the party.
One of the biggest Incidental ex
penses perhaps, was the changing of
the line of the interceptor below Sha
onis street. There, if the city engi
neering department's lines had been
followed exactly, the Interceptor sew
er would have been suspended in
mid-air over the creek invert. To
remedy this, cost in the neighborhood
of $6,000.
Paxton Creek of To-day
The party to a man couldn't help re
calling the great change that has
been made In the Paxton creek region
because of the improvement of the
stream.
Among the points along the line
were those sections, which after a rain
such as was experienced last night,
would have left the surrounding low
lands flooded for acres. The party
saw for itself how the water, regu
lated by the Wildwo'od lake flood con
trol, flows smoothly through the big
gutter. It wasn't even bank full.
The small bridges which span the
creek were pointed out and the admir
able method by which the Invert was
(built under Market street, was fully
explained.
Even Mayor Royal at the end of
the Journey couldn't help but wax en
thusiastic about the Paxton creek im
provement.
Quit Bowing Advises Mr. Jennings
"It is certainly a wonderful work,"
said he, "one of the greatest improve
ments I think that the city can boast
of." J
'Should the question of more
money be raised in Council woll you
oppose it?" he was asked.
"Why the work is done and the
contractor should be paid that Is all
there is to that. That's been my posi
tion right along. I only raised the
question of whether there was suffi
cient money. I don't think it good
housekeeping for the city to undertake
or complete anything for which it has
no money to pay."
"Technically, perhaps, you're right,
John," interpolated Mr. Jennings, "but
why not And the money and complete
the work. Why sacrifice a hundred
thousand dollars' worth of improve
ment for a few thousande? Why
don't you folks in Council quit spar
ring and rowing with each other—and
go ahead and complete this work?"

THAT SULLIVAN CASE
Senator Phelan is wholly unfeeling
in his report on the Sullivan case. He
says nobody could ever tiave thought
Sullivan fit for a diplomatic post, con
sidering hts education, training
temperament and antecedents. This
Is to be taken as a backhanded slap at
the President, who strenuously in
sisted on appointing Sullivan even
after Bryan had become suspicious of
Sullivan's endorsements.
