DANGER POINT
FOR SCHUYLKILL
Tremendous Else as River and Canal
Are Made One at Beading—Co
dorus Creek Maroons North Part of
York City
By Asuociated Press.
Philadelphia, Jan. 13.—Reports re
ceived to-day from the storm-swept, sec
tions of Pennsylvania ami New Jersey
show that considerable minor damage
was done by lwgh wind while in many
places the heavy rain caused rivers and
I creeks to overflow. The weather to
; day was clearing and the high water
i was rapidly receding.
The Schuylkill river was high from
' its source in the anthracite coal re
' gions to Philadelphia where it empties
; into the Delaware. In many places it
[ was out of its banks causing consider
| able damage. Textile mills along th«i
i Schuylkill in this city were closed be
cause of water in their basements.
Snow Impedes Railroad Traffic
Iu the northern parts of Pennsylva
nia railroad traffic was impeded by doep
snow. Exposed places at Atlantic City
were again damaged by high water
I and severe gales. The Music Hall on
! the ocean end of the Steel Pier, which
I was wrecked during the storm last
' month, was further damaged to-day
when high seas crashed against it.
Portions of the boardwalk south of At
i lantic City were damaged and higher
j water flooded a part of the upper end
of the city at the inlet.
The derailment of the Wnshingtnn-
N'ew York Express at Perryvi'lle, Md ,
last night resulted in the death of the
j engineer and injuring of the fireman
| was due to the locomotive hdtting the
. roof of a box car which had been ripped
I off by the wind tfn minutes before the
I passenger train came along.
Rise of 12 Feet in Schuylkill
! Reading, Pa., Jan. 13. — night's
! heavy rain was followed early to-day
by a tremendous rise in the Schuylkill.
I This morning it was 12 feet above low
water mark and had thus reached the
: danger point. The tributaries of the
J river are overflowing their banks and
| a large body of water is pouring down
j the valley. The canal and river are
| one. The local weather bureau does
not 'believe, however, that it will go
much higher. Considerable minor dam
: age has been done along the river.
At t'he height of the storm late last
night, the roof of a freight car in a
' southbound train on the Reading rail
way was blown clean off while it was
passing lxirane. It crashed against tho
j wires of the company and put all of
| them out of business. Linemen were
I hurried to the scene and soon man
; aged to get several of thorn in shape.
Trolley Traffic Suspended
j York, Pa., Jan. 13.—Thirty hours of
! continuous rain culminated in a flood
here this morning from the Codorus
! creek, bisecting the city. Streets and
j cellars were under water in the low
i lying sections adjacent to t'he stream,
j Anxiety was tense just before day
I break when the rain ceased, but soon
i after 6 o'clock the flood reached its
i crest, ten feet above low wate-r mark.
; For several hours North York was cut
off from the remainder of the city, trol
ley traffic being suspended to that
j suburb. Great property damage was
caused by floods in various parts of
York county.
Potomac River Rises Twenty Feat
| Hagerstowu, Md., Jan. 13.—Wash-j
) ington county is in serious danger of
j great damage by floods, as the heavy
j downpour of rain the past two days
j has caused all the streams to become
very high anrl in several places they
] are overflowing.
Prom Williamsport this morning
comes the report that the Potomac has
risen twenty feet and is still rising. The
Cooococheagne creek has also risen
while smaller streams have become
raging torrents. To add to the high
waters there is a great amount of ice
at various places along the streams and
if this 'break® loose the danger will be
considerably greater.
Storm's Damage In New England
Boston, Jan. 13.—The storm which
reached New England yesterday attain
ed its maximum strength off tile south
east coast at dawn to-day, causing mucft
damage in Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Southeastern Sum
mer residences on Massachusetts ibay,
from Sandwich to C«pe Ann, were bad
ly damaged. Damage was reported also
at Nantucket, Cohanset and other
points on the south shore.
London Earthquakes
(London has not altogether escaped
the ravages of earthquakes. In Febru
ary and (March of 1750 l<ondoners
were startled out of their wits by a
terrific rfhock. The people were" BO
alarmed that thousands spent the night
parading the streets in a starte of fran
tic terror, aud Hyde Park was crowd
ed with campers out, the more daring
wlhiling away the ihours by playing
cards by candlelight.

Metal shares supplied the bulk of tho
early trailing in stocks to-day, mostly
at advances. Amalgamated, Utah and
Inspiration coppers recorded gains pre
sumably on the increase of home and
foreign demand. Tho list displayed some
uncertainty with little or no change in
favorite issues. Among the railways
Northern Pacific, Atcihison pfd. ami
Western Maryland rose fractionally
with like declines in Union Pacific pfd
and .Seaboard Air I/inc. Rumely went
to a new low price and Motor Issues
yielded slightly. Dealings were far be
low t'h© preceding session both as to
volume and scope.
Dullness was the most characteristic
feature of to-day's early session, tho
'business olf that period being los.< than
half of that transacted yesterday,
j Prominent stocks assumed a more ir
| regular tone, Steel, Heading and! Union

LATE WAR HEWS SUMMARY
Continued From Flrat Pace.
elsewhere in the west, bad weather hin
ders military adtivities.
No. change is recorded from either
Petrograd or Berlin in the campaign in
Poland.
Further important successes in the
I campaign against Turkey were an
! nounced to-day. It is asserted that one
Turkish regiment was captured, another
partially destroyed, and a Turkish posi
tion seized with guns and ammunition.
Notwithstanding the statement, it is
evident that large bodies of Turkish
troops are still on Russian soil, and the
recent statement from PetrogTad that
an overwhelming defeat has been in-'
fllcted on the Turks, involving the cap- 1
ture of one army corps and the cutting
up of another, is denied officially at
Constantinople. Tho statement to-day
of the Russian staff attached to the
Caucasian army says that resistance
has not been broken, stating that obsti
nate and bitter fighting is still in
progress.
Turkish forces which invaded north
western Persia and reported unofficially
to have captured Tabriz, an important
Persian city within the sphere of Rus-
I si an Influence, where a Russian military
station was maintained. A Constanti
nople dispatch last night said that the
Russians had retreated from Tabriz
In southern Poland the Russians have
made another attempt to push across
the Nlda river. appartnOy in an effort
to advance once more on Cracow. An
official Austrian statement says the
Russians were compelled to withdraw
under the fire of the Austrian artillery.
Papal Sermons Rare
Strange are the restrictions which
hedge about a Pope, and one of the
strangest is that he should not be al
lowed to preach. Only once in 300
years has a Pope delivered a sermon,
and that was under exceptional circum
stances in 18.46. On the Octave of
the Epiphany a celebrated preacher.
Padre Ventura, was to have occupied
the pulpit in St. Peter's, but was sud
denly taken ill. To prevent disappoint
ment to the vast crowd which had as
sembled, Pius IX broke through the
custom of ages and,ascending the pulpit,
delivered a simple, homely sermon thai
perhaps impressed its hearers more
than the finest eloquence might have
done, because of its uniqueness.—'Lon
don Chronicle.

1 Workmen Take Advantage of the Pino

Places in the Line of Parade
If this kind of weather greets the
day on which Governor Brumbaugh is
inaugurated," said Representative lid
win 11. Cox, secretary of the inaug
ural committee, to-day, "the biggest
crowd that Harrisburg hiis ever seen
on u similai" occasion will throng the
city's streets."
The inaugural committee has beon
doing some hard work in the last few
days, and oven Senator K. E. Beidle
man, who still is ill with grip in his
home, who is chairman of the commit
tee, has been directing affairs by tele
phone. HAxpects to be out on Friday
and renew his activities.
The big platform on which the in
augural ceremonies will be staged, is
rapidly approaching completion, a large
force of men having gotten to work
early to-day in order to expedite mat
ters and take advantage of the tine
weather. In the event of the weather
being such as will prevent tho exer
cises from taking place in the open, the
inaugural committee has arranged for
tickets of admittance to the House of
'Representatives, where the ceremonies
will take place—only in the eveut of
the weather ibeing bad.
The committee this morning received
three communications from officers of
political clubs that will take part in
the parade. They asked to be assign
ed to places in the line. T. Larry Eyre
wrote from West Chester that the Ches
ter County Brumbaugh Republican
Club will arrive in Harrisburg at 3.40
, on the afternoon of Monday, January
18, and will have its quarters While
here in sleeping cars. The club will
have a pioneer corps of S5, gorgeously
uniformed, and a citizens corps of 75
prominent Republicans in black suits,
high hats, buff gloves and white spats.
[One enthusiastic Chester countian says
that this will be "the swellest dub
ever seen in t'he streets of Harrisburg."
Mr. Eyre will marshal it.
A letter was received from the Scran
ton Brumbaugh Republican Club an
nouncing that it win be here with 100
unformed men and a band,
The Berks County Brumbaugh Club
sent word that it will be here with 200
members, headed by the celebrated

of the State.
The Master at Arms
A master at arms is a petty officer
! in the navy who forms one of the police
of a ship. In the United States navy
there are four grades of masters at
I arms—chief master at arms and master
i at arms of the first, second and third
! class. Large vessels have one chief
and several of the lower ratings. Jn
j small ships a fire or second class mas
j ter at arms is the chief of the ship's
I police.—Boston Globe.
Knew His Limitations
"I don't want to brag about my
self. I've done many foolish things in
my time, but I've been wise in one
way."
"What's that!"
"I never had an idea that I could
paper a bedroom myself."—l>etroit

Ways of Iceland
There are no trades or guides in
Iceland, every man being compelled to
depend trpon 'his own skill for his sup
flies. The natives make their own
(<hoes, shoe their own horses, and man
ufacture their saddles. A few artisans
are found in the capital—for example,
a bookbinder, a jeweler and others.
