CARPET SWEEPERS, J2.50, J3.00, J3.50. At FRICKE'S, 10 South Jardm St. mm ANOTHER DAM CAUSES TROUBLE THE KATJFFMAN DAM ABOVE ST. OLAIR. FLEEING TO THE MOUNTAINS A Dangerous Leak Discovered In the Dam Causes a Panic At Last Accounts tho Crisis Was Over. AVfr ZpSjERROH struck tht hearts of tho poopio of Sf!K-4&ii!ijnl town yestorday when they heard that the breast work of Kiuff nan's dam was show- ing signs of weakening and a flood threatened the people of St. Clair and Port Carbon. Tho residents of town who havo relatives and iriends at those placos are numerous, 1 encothereport was received here with almost tho same feeling that would havo provailed if Shen andoah was threatened 'by a flood. Telegrams of inquiry flashed over the wires constantly and everybody who ar rived in town from Frackvillo was qucs tioned closely as to the condition of the dam, whether it had burst or would buret, and how. the people of St. Clair and Port Carbon were. Many people remained upon tho streets until after midnight to glean information The report of tho expected outbreak was first given out at noon yesterday. The dam was then leaking so badly that the destruction of the dam seemed inevitable. The people of St. Clair became panic stricken and fled to the neighboring hilU and there they sat until' night expecting to see their homos swept away by a torrent from tho dam. As soon as the Pottsville people were mado acquainted with the condition of affairs they At once made preparations for tho relief of the St. Clair people and sup. piled them with food and lodgings. Ar rangements wero also made lor a system of warning signals in caso tho dam should givo way. Company K, Eighth Regiment, was called out for duty and the mon wore stationed above and below St. Clair in such a manner that by "the discharge of their guns they could warn tho people of the crisis. It was also arranged that in such an event tho people who remained in St. Clair would be warned by tho whistle at tho old shaft. Thoso arrangements ro mained in force to-day. A Herald reporter visited the dam at 2 o'clock this morning and found seated about a huge bonfire Messrs. Drumhellor, Barker, Pollard, Russell and Morton, gentlemen interested in the Pottsville "Water Company, owners of the dam, Superintendent Kalbach and Supervisor Turk. Dr. D. W. Williams, of Shenan doah, and Robert Hunt, of Frackvillo wore also there. From Mr. Baker tho reporter loarnod that the dam covers an area of twenty-two acres and has a capacity of 160.000 000 gal Ions. Tho breast measures 630 feet across and is nearly 70 fo6t high. It was con structed three years ago by Contractor Dolan and coil fSO.OOO. It Is rlprapped on both sides. Mr. Barker said that the water company officials arrived upon tho grounds shortly after noon yestorday and at onco made preparations to relieve the dam of water. Two twelve inch pipes wero thrown open and the wato.r rushed in tor rents down tho narrow gorgt. For hours tho docreaso was three inches an hour. When tho Herald man arrived upon the scene (2 . m.) tho officials estimated that 40.000 000 gallons had boon drawn off and measurements taken at that hour showed that tho decrease for the precoding hour and a half was four and a quarter inches. When asked about tho prospects Mr. Barker said, "Wo' can say nothing definite. Wo aro doing all in our power to get tho wator out. Matters nro beginning to look brighter and there seems to be a decrease in tho leak. Tho open twelve-inch pipes aro taking water steadily, but whether tho breast will hold out until we can get tho wator to a safe level wo aro not prepared to Btato. Wo havo Jiopes that it will." Later, 1 p. m. Mrs. Little, a lady of St. Clair, who was carried to tho mountain side on her sick bod during tho panio yes torday, died this morning. The reduction of water in tho dam con tinues favorably and, although tho opening where the leak ia seems larger than it was, it is believed the dam will not give way.

Tho report of the dangerous leak in the Kaufifinan dam led to a report that dam No. 3 of the Mahanoy City water works wis breaking. S.mebudy in Mahanoy City sent a message to this town to that ollect nnd poopio who have interests in the former placo went over there post hasto mong thoso who went over was Harry P Mellot, who returned to town about 10 o'clock last night and said there was no foundation for tho report, that people had confounded tho Kauffman dam with No. 3 lum.

Tho Evening Telegram of Ashland last evening published the following article: "Last evening tho Telegram published nn article taken from the Shennndoah Sunday JS'ews, and based on an nrticle thnt appeared in tho last issue of the Girnrdville Gazette to the effect that those in power had decided against building the Ashland Girardville, and Girardville - Mahanoy Plane branches of the Shenandoah, Maha noy City, Girardville and Ashland Electric Railway. 'Ihe article created considerable com ment last evening, and give the best possiblo evidence of tho fact that our poople aro alive to tho needs ot this rail way, and stand ready by all the means in thoir power to farther its progress. "The Telegram to-day is pleased at being able to announce that tho report is a canard, that had absolutely no foundation in fact whatever. Judge Sadler, the head and shoulders of tho new company, arrived in Shenandoah on Friday, and expects to make that placo his headquarters until September, and in the meantime ho will do all in bis powor to advance the road to the points abovo mentioned "He expresses himself as highly pleased with the result already attained, though ho greatly regrets that untoward circumstances have provonted the construction of tho road as rapidly as was at first expected. Difficulty alter difficulty was met in the construction of tho Sbenandoah-Girard-ville branch, and wero overcome, and that branch is paying beyond all expectation, and tho management are now considering tho point of increasing the equipment of tho line in order to meet the public demand for rapjd and commodious transit. "Thoso in the inner circle sy that there- is no doubt whatever of the disputed branches being constructed, and that spoedily, We are glad to know it; feel euro that our people will heartily welcome the approach of tho construction crew, and still more heartily, tho cars when they come." In addition to tho abovo tho Herald would add tho result of an interviow had by one of its reporters with Wilbur F. Sadler, Jr. When shown a copy of tho report tho Telegram stamps as a canard Mr. Sadler said, "You may state em phatically that there is not the slightest foundation for such a statement. Tho officials and stockholders of tho road held no consultation in Girardville the past week nor has an idea of abandoning the extensions mentioned baen entertained by tho company." Thus another scheme by certain unprin cipled parties who would play "tho dog in tho manger" with the electric railway is effectually squolchod. It is only a question of timo when tho rascals who invent and circulato such canards will bo brought to a halt so suddenly that they will imagine they have seized a live electric wire. The electric railway poopio aro doing all in their power to get tho electric road in oper ation as soon as possible and any sensible person can seo this. Strength and Health.
