HE breastwork of dam No. 2 of the Mahanoy City water works gave way at 10 o'clock last night and flooded the valley from Robin son's patch down .through Mahanoy City to the base ball grounds. Tho flood was n terrible reminder of th donnstown flood, but fortunately is not marked by loss of life. No. 2 dam is located directly north of Robinson patch and rovers about 800 acroJr It is locatod about two miles north' east from Mahanoy City. Tho breach in tho breastwork of the dam is about 75 feet wido at tho top and about thirty feet at the base. Tho town is indignant over tho affair and charges that tho breastwork has shown signs of woakness for two weeks. Tho pooplo allege that the attention of tho com pany was called to tho weakness as late as yesterday aftornoon, but tho officials ridiculed all apprehensions. 'ino aam burst through at about ton o clock last night. Tho embankment of the Lehigh Valley railroad caught tho rush and subdued the torriblo flow of water for about twenty minute'. lo this halt tho peoplo residing in Robinson's patch below owe their lives. '.ihey heard the first roar of the water and, on account of the previous apprehen sions, they knew at once what had hap pened. They fled up tho mountains with all possiblo basto, leaving everything they had in tho houses bohind. Their flight W83 none too soon. They barely reached tho summit of tho mountain when the railroad embankment gave way and tho water rushod through tho patch below with dis astrous effect. Twenty houses in tho patch wore swept from their foundations and completely wrecked. All tho furnlturo, wearing apparel and other contents woro lost. Tho first house to go was that of Jamos Wright. It was carried C5 yards from its foundation and then swept in piecos down tho valley. On the way to Bowman's patch three turnpike bridges woro swept away. At Bowman's patch the houses occupied , by Patrick Mooney, John Elliott, Patrick Ryan, Micbaol McCullough and Jamos Mulvoy wore totally wrecked and the debris wero swept along with immenso trees and stumps. At tho North Mahanoy colliery tho debris carried along by tho flood wreckod trestles and blocked up tho drift. At tho stable of this colliery was loft a stock of freight car wheels twenty feet high, but there was no trace of the cars. The Lentz, Lilly & Co't. Springdalo and North Mahanoy collieries were so badly damaged they may be idle for two woeks. From Bowman's patch west to the Maha noy City borough limits the Reading and Lehigh Valley tracks' wero completely destroyed. ' 1 1 - Tho Mahanoy boiler shops suffered ter ribly. Tho building is almost a comploto wreck and two-horso toams woro required to haul away tho immense stumps and logs that wero swept into and against tho shop. a wo iroigm cars near tno snops wero lifted from tho tracks and carried 30 yard: from whero thoy had boon loft. Tho flood marks about these wreckod cars and shops show a height of fix foot. At tho Glondon colliery, about 600 yard east of Mahanoy City, tho flood did disaS' trous worn, mo valley tracks woro washed 15 feet from their bods and an iron railroad bridge has completely disappeared Tho material is probably covered up by dobris and mud. Tho field of destruction betweon Glondon colliery and the eastein limits of Mahanoy City is about 160 yards wido. wnon tno rush of water reached tho borough limits it split, half tho water rushing down tho P. & R. railroad back of Kaier's browery to the P. & R. ombank ment, when it turned to Main 6treot. Tho remainder of tho water rushod past tho Lehigh Valley dopot to Main streot and then turned towards Centre. Just before the flood divided it washed four cars from the P. & R. tracks against the mountain side and blocked the manway ot Eimwood colliery. The part of Mahanoy City that suffered most from tho flood was botween tho Le mgu v auoy uepoi ana uontre street, on Main street. W. W. Lewis' cellar, next to the Lehigh Valley depot, was in a bad condition. Mr. Lewis lost about ?200 worth of liquors that were stored in the cellar. K. J. Urifflths' livery stable suffered considerably. Soveral carriages were badly wrecked and ono of Allen's circus advance wagons wa3 deposited upon an im mense heap "of debris. i)r. Bricker was at this stable when the flood camo and was badly bruised in mak ing efforts to escape. Boyers whoelwright .Bhop, an immonso. well built structure, is almost a total wrock. Tho rear part of the Derrick IIouso looks like a junk shop. Whon tho barroom door of tho hotol was forced open tho water was washing over tho bar. At noon to-day water Ave feet deep romained in tho cellar. The kitchen, dining room and other apart ments on tho first floor of the hotol wore filled with rubbish of every description In the kitchen tho mud on tho floor was a foot and a half doep. In the sitting room was found a largo hog that had boon washed in. It was alivo and ran off as soon as it was carried to tho Btreet. Tho proprietor of tho Derrick House put his loss at $000. All tho residences on Main street from tho Dorrick IIouso to tho Reading bridge suffered groat damage. Furniture, carpets and other household goods on tho first floors of these houses wero ruined by water, mud and stumps of trees. 'ine board covering of tbo culvert In front of Hulsman's hotel was heaved up so that tho planks were six feet In the air. i ii . . ... ... a.n lue pavomenis in tnis locality were swept away. Kaier's paint houso, next to Hulsman's hotel, is a comploto wreck. Tho buildings on tho west side of Main street and north of tho Reading tracks re ceived their full share of tho flood. Tho buildings occupied by 'Squiro Fogarty and Mrs. Coylo aro damagod to tho extent of soveral hundred dollars. The families wero obliged to moyo out to-day. Tho first floors of tho buildings wero heavod up and droppod back into thd flooded collars. Soibort's and neighboring slaughtering ousos suffered greatly. Some of tho build ings wero carried several feet and thon thrown upon their sideB. All tho buildings on Centre etreot, from Main street to tho baso ball grounds, bavo flooded collars, tho water being Ave fcot high In some of thorn. The loss of mer chandise and other goods, by roason of this flooding, will amount to soveral thousand dollars. Soveral pooplo on North Main street narrowly oscaped losing their livos by reason of tho flood. Ono of them was "Granny" Allen, 78 years of age. She occupied the basement of the houso owned by a Mrs. Griffiths. Sho was un&blo to flee to a piaco of safety and when a young man named 'William Griffiths rescued her the old lady was clinging franticly to a A COLUMN OF LQGAL HAPPENINGS MANY SUBJECTS CHRONICLED BY OUR REPORTERS.

Ho Presents His Views of tho West for tho Herald's Many Roadors Other Local Happenings. until recently we were under tho lm pression that Wanamakor's monster storo in Philadelphia took tho lead in tho Unitod Statos, but a visit to one of the Chicago establishments has convinced me of my mislako. Wanamakor is not it." xne unlcago storo ombraces many lines of businoss not covored by the Phil adolphia wonder and you need not go out side its walls for anything from a pin to ton of coal. Thoro are hundreds of places in th "windy city" whero people may enjoy themselves and enjoyment may be had on every day of the year, and yet the supply would not bo exhausted. A visit to th parks, alone, is worth a visit to tho city, They are large, attractive and very prettily laid out. Streot and steam roads carry tho peoplo to see those places overy few minutes for a nominal sum. On Sun days these popular health-giviEg resorts aro ciowded by tho poor of the city. It tho only day on which thoy can onjoy the lake breeze and pure air. I have said considerable about big build ings heretofore, but one cannot tire of tho subject. It seems as if tho Chicago peopl try to excel all others in the world in th respect, and they have succeeded in many instances. Tho Northern Hotol is one of the finest in the country, It is not yet completed that is, tho interior work is not finished but already $1,600,000 has been spent, and that sum will be appreciably increased boforo all is finished. Tho interior furnish. ings consist of vari-colored marbles an onyx; tno oiuoront rooms are moro magnificent than those of any other hotol in Chicago or Now York, and tho finest room in tho houso is tho ono secured by the Clovoland Domocracy for its headquarters, This magnificent apartment opens directly from tho main rotunda and is about CO feet in length by 48 in breadth; It faces on Qnincy streot and is lighted by oight largo windows. Tho room is truly magnificent. It iurnisneaona scale mat would grace palaco instead of an American hotel About tbo walls are 12 panols, formed bv bars of maroon-veined onyx. Each one of these panols contains a hand-painted piece of tapestry, representative of rural scenes in Holland. Thero aro 12 of thoso tapostrio3 and each is surrounded by maroon onyx and blue marble. Thoro aro also nine soctions in tbo ceiling, tho docorations being of blue and gold scroll -work of uniquo and beautiful design.
