RUin FROM SOURCE TO
MOUTH OF DELAWARE
BRIDGES, BUILDINGS, FENCES, CROPS, TREES,
AND LAND TORN OUT AND SWEPT AWAY
The Whole Valley was Covered with a Raging Volume
of Water. From the Hills of Pike to Those of Sussex
the Roaring River Held Sway and was Covered
With Almost every Conceivable kind of
Debris. It was the Greatest Pumpkin
Freshet ever Known in the Valley
SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1903, WIXL GO DOWN IN LOCAL HIS
TORY AS THE DATE OF A RECORD BREAKING FLOOD
Probably never since prehistoric
times, when geologists insist the
whole Delaware valley was a lake,
has It so nearly approached its ancient
appearance as it did last Saturday,
Oct. 10th. The ruin bad fallen in
cessantly for over thirty-two hours,
9.90 inches being the record, and the
river rose rapidly until Saturday
noon when it attained its highest
point which, according to marks, was
6 feet 2 Inches above tht highest
water ever known, except In ice
gorges, and 4 feet 1 inch above the
mark from the gorge in lssfl. The
volume of water practically covered
the entire flat land in the valley,
sweeping away crops, tearing off the
soil and In some places gouging out
large holes In the fields. No pen
can describe the effect of the water
on the tarms of August Metz, J. C.
Wallace, Philip Walters and II.
Btubendorff near Milford.
It appeared as if the main channel
of the river had taken a new course
over their lands and the result shows
Its fearful effects. The larms are
practically all washed away. Metz
and Walters lands are completely and
Irretrievably ruined. Great holes
were made, thousands of loads of
stone were carried on them and In
places the sand was piled up several
feet in thickness. The fruit trees are
ail torn out and such a scene of
destruction cannot be imagined or
described.
Walters' house was half submerged
and Stubendorfs house was flooded
above the first floor. His wagon
house was undermined and sunk
down in a Urge hole gouged out, his
outbuildings and wagons were carried
away.
The water came within four feet of
the joists of the Delaware bridge. A
large tree struck the chords on the
Jersey span but the bridge was
wholly uninjured. The water came
in the toll house and Mr. Sayre con
cluded to. vacate. Across the river
Gumble's land and the farms adjoin
ing were all several feet under water.
About six acres of Gumble's flats
were washed out, many of his trees
torn up, and his barn filled with hay
was carried off. All the crops of
course are gone on the entire flat.
The water catue up to the poroh
of Daumon's house. At Sehannos'
the water rose almost to tho top oi
the porch and persons could easily
step from a boat to its roof. The
bridge aoross the Raymondskil!
Was completely submerged.
At the lower mill here the homes
of Struble ana Mrs Van Aukon
were several font under water and
persons rowod in boats from the
foot of Milford hill over across the
iron bridjju to Dingman township.
The water was at least three foet
on the bridge. Strubla and Wolf
lost about 1(000 railroad ties and the
small bpoke shop of Judga Klaur
was carried away.
.At Warner's in Dingman the
water up to the house, en to red the
burn and it was with diflieulty tha
boites and cuUio wore saved. All
down the river crops were swept
away and farms partly washed ont.
To enumerate the losses would be
to make a li.se of ovury faroi between
Port Jervis and Ruchkill.
The laundry at Buck's Riverside
Hotel was washed away.
The house of Benjamin Van Noy
in Wedfiill was nearly undermined

untenantable. The farm of J. C.
Aldrich was Innnndated and one of
his fields badly washed.
Charles Marvin lost his corn crops
The island on the Klaer farm is
badly washed and In places piled
high with sand.
In Delaware M B. McCarty lost
his corn, and part of the farm of
II. M. Cortright was torn out. Much
of his corn wont with the rest.
All the islands in the river below
hero were flooded, and the crops
washed away. George Warnor lost
noarly all his corn on the island.
At Port Jervis the Barret bridge
was carried away. The water tore
out tho bank along the Pennsylvania
side washed away the abutment and
the structure tumbled in the river.
It fell about 8 o'clock Saturday
morning. Several people were on it
at the time, all of whom except
Theodore Durant, Stanly French,
Benjamin Wimprosa and Rev.
Arohangol, a Catholic priest, escap
ed. Durant fortunately caught on a
large stump and some distance be
low struck out for the shore, whiali
he succeeded in reaching, but the
other three were drowned. Their
bodies have since been recovered
and were all lodged a short distanoe
below.
Jacob Weetfall was standing at
the Matamoras end of the bridge
when it went down and was caught
by tho cable whioh crushed his leg
so badly that amputation was neces
sary. He did not survive the shock
and died next day.
The New York abutment of the
Milford and Matamoras railroad
bridge was nndormined and has
settled inelining toward the river
about four foot. The culvert ou tho
Port Jorvls side was also torn out.
Several thousand tons of ooal stored
by the Erie on the flats have all
washed away. The wator ran
through Germantown and Port Jor
vis flooding cellars and lower stories
of buildings.
The bridges across the river at
Roigelsvlllo, Milford in New Jersey,
Lambertville, Washington's Cross
ing and Yardley near Trenton wore
carried away by the flood, leaving
only one structure between Trenton
and Easton.
It is impossible to estimate the
damage done by the flood in this
valley. It is a scene of ruin to
fanners and the crops with few
exceptions are all swept way.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Politicians here believe there will
bo no currency legislation until after
the preoidnntml election Repre
sentative Hill, of Connecticut, rank
ing member of tho last house com-
mittee on banking and currency,
says that many republicans are dis
cussing a plan of submitting the
question of financial legislation to a
joint committee which will invest!,
pate the needs of currency reforms
and make recommendations to
congress. The committee will either
bo named by congress or appointed
by the president from members of
both houses. It is believed that
congress would pay little hoed to n
committee composed of outsiders.
While it is not certain that congress
would accept the recommendations
of the committoe, Its appointment
is regarded as a wiso move for sev
oral reasons. It would give tha
republican factions an opportunity
to argue their differences outside of
tho house, it might find a measure
upon which they could all agree,
and it would postpone any legisla
tion on this difficult subject until
after the presidential election. Tho
party could thus go beforo the coun
try without showing any lack of
harmony. Secrotary Shaw, Senator
Aldrich and Representative Fowler
all have different plans for currency
reform, Speaker Cannon is not cer
tain that any is noeded. and the
National Bankers' Association has
recently appointed a oommittee to
solve the problem. It is thought
that theso different interests should
not be allowed to conflict in a ses
sion preceoding a presidential cam
paign. It is for the same reason
that even those republicans who
favor it, have decided to postpone
tariff revision. In the meantime
Secretary Shaw is doing all he can
to relievo any money stringency.
Since September 1st ho has plaeod
in circulation a total of 122,274,500
He has dona this by increasing the
government deposits in the national
banks and by the refunding and
redemption operations now in pro
gress. It is hoped that tho secre
tary can prevent a money stringency
and thus remove all danger to the
business world from the postpone
ment of currency legislation.
With tha adjournment last week
of the Washington grand jury the
first stage of the postal investigation
was passed. There are now thirty
persons awaiting trial on charges of
defrauding the government through
the post offloo department. Against
many of thorn there are several in
dictments ; Maohen must answer to
fourteen and Beavers to six. Among
those aoousod are a former post
master genoral and six others who
hold important positions in the de
partment, an ex-member of con
gress aud a state senator from New
York, a Pennsylvania mayor and a
number of private citizens who
furnished supplies to the depart
ment. Most of trials will take place
in Washington and will begin this
fall. They are expected to drag on
through next summer. Mr. Bris-
tow's report will soon bo given to
the president and the Postmaster
General intimates that there will be
several changes and dismissals in
the department, made on the advice
of those who have oouduoted the
investigations. This will end tho
investigation as far as the depart
ment is concerned. It is regarded
as certain that the republicans will
call for a congressional investigation
and as postal affairs are sure to
enter politics the corning house com
mittoe on post offices and post roads
will ussume unusual importance
it is believed that Ropresontativo
Overstreet of ludiaua will be ap
pointed to this important position,
to which his experience as politician
and skill as a party leader soom to
entitle hiiu. Lie is secretary of the
national republican, congressional
committee. In this way the repub
licans believe they will be able to
meet the expected assaults of the
democrats on the post office depart
ment. (Continued ou Fourth Page.)

ship January 19, 1882. She was a
most exemplary character and a
consistent member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, which she joined
in 1898. She is survived by her
parents, three sisters. May, wife of
W. F. Beck, Grace and Meda, and

cemetery,
MRS. HANNAH J. DINOMAM
Hannah Boemer, widow of the
late Solomon 11. Dingman, died at
tho homa of her step son, Albert S.,
in Delaware township Tuesday, Oc-
tober, 13, aged about seventy years.
She was born near Deckortown,
Sussex county, New Jersey, and was
a daughter of Jaoob and Zilla,
Adams, Beemer, prominent people
of that county. In the early seven
tlee she married Mr. Dingman and
since his death has resided in Del a.
ware. The funeral services, con
ducted by Rev. E. M. Smead, were
held today and interment in the
Deckortown cemetery.
Buffalo Robes
Forty years ago buffalo robes were
shipped In large quantities from
Mackinaw, Detroit, Montreal, Hud
son Bay, St. Louis, and other trad
ing points. Perhaps a million of
these robosTn the aggregate were
shipped east annually. In 1868,
Inman, Sheridan and Custer rode
continuously for three days through
one herd of buffalo in the Arkansas
region, and in 1869 trains on the
Kansas Pacifio wore hold from nine
in the morning until six at night to
permit the passage of a herd across
the traoks. Army offloers relate
that in 1862 a herd that covered an
area of 70 by 30 miles moved north
from tha Arkansas to the Yellow
stone. Now there are not 1,000 head
of the Amerioan buffalo in the
Unitod Statos. The passing of the
buffalo is to be regretted, as the
robes were a valuable article to
oommerco.
Matamora Railroad Bridge -
The 'Now York abutment of the
Miltord and Matamoras - railroad
inclines four foet toward the river
and the wator in front of it is 15
feet deep. The footing of the arohes
hang beyond the abutment and the
end of the structure is supported by
the eye bar rods whioh rest on the
masonry, it would seem to be in a
very unsafe condition and likely
to go down at any time. Now that
the abutment will have to be taken
down it might be of advantage to the
company, and it certainly would be
to the Matamoras shore, to add a
span to tha Nev York end. This
would give the river more room at
the point and would be of probable
benefit to Port Jervis in future
freshets or ioe gorges.

The flood losses are enormous.
It is said that Mrs Roosevelt
dresses on $300 a year. We know
of many women who dress on less.
A small section of oeiling in the
court house fell last week being

partly destroyed in 1841 and rebuilt
tha same year.
The dam of II. B. Wells in the
Sawklll, which was nearly completed,
was swept out and took with it the
footbridge to the glen. The dam
above the bridge near Seitz's was
partly demolished.
Autumn leaves and wild berries

DO WOMEN WISH SUFFRAGE
Dr. Abbott's Argument Caustically
Reviewed
This is not Dr. I.yman Abbott's
article from the Atlantic Monthly.
It Is merely a brief statement of facts
by a woman who does wish the
suffrage. A statement of facts Is
something Dr. Abbott never makes
when he writes on the suffrage ques
tion. In the first place, women do want
to vote. They prove this by voting
rs generally as' men whenever they
are given the right of suffrage. Many
women think and say that they do
not want to vote, and here are the
reasons why:
1st. The average woman Is sadly
deficient In self-respect and in a sense
of justice. Disfranchisement does
not favor the development of these
lualities, and women have been dis
franchised so long that they submit
weakly and tamely to Injustice, and
no Indignant throb stirs their hearts
when they read the words "idiots,
lunatics, criminals, minors and wo
men." It seems to them perfectly
natural and, on the whole, rather
sweet and lovely that they should be
ranked politically with Idiots, luna
tics, felons and children.
2nd. Women have for generations
been taught that their best their
highest empire, Is to please men, and
is men are said to dislike strong-
minded women, women frequently
choose to appear weak-minded In
order to win the favor of men.
3rd. Woman suffrage is not yet
fashionable enough to attract the
masses of women. If the Associated
Press should tomorrow send out a
telegram announcing that the Four
Hundred of New York and Newport
were forming suffrage associations,
and that it was good form to want to
vote and bad form not to want to
vote, in the course of a month the
suffrage associations would outnum
ber the flinch clubs and euchre clubs,
and the Atlantic would publish no
more articles on Why Women Do
Not Want the Suffrage.
Make woman suffrage pleasing to
men and fashionable with society
and the Rverage woman will want to
vote. But let a sense of Justice, the
spirit of a D. A. R., be roused in a
woman, and with this her self-
respect, and she will not care whether
woman suffrage Ispopular.or fashion
able. She will want to vote and she
will not be afraid or ashamed to say
so. Lida Calvert Obenehain.
Indian Relics Found
The land between Milford and the
Delaware bridge looks as If the river
had reclaimed what was at one time
its possession. It is possible that
this ages ago may have been the
river bed. Over near where the
burial ground once was, a spot of
land was uncovered to the depth of
three feet and there was discovered
a pit filled with mussel shells among
which were several pieces of Indian
pottery. Perhaps It was their spot
for clambakes. This shows that at
former times the level of the soil was
considerably less than now and possi
bly the shell pit which is 300 or more
feet from the bank may have been
nearer the shore then. At all events
there must have been overflows to
bury It so far beneath the surface.
The shells were perfect In shape but
crumbled on being exposed to the air,
Park Loses Its Case
The Supreme Court Monday hand
ed down an opinion reversing the
decision of the Superior Court in the
case of Commonwealth vs. Charles
Hazen. This is the case In which
the Blooming Grove Park Associa
tion prosecuted Hazen for killing a
deer on its premises. The court here
held certain sections of the Park's
charter which were attacked in the
proceedings to tie unconstitutional
This ruling was reversed by the
Superior Court and it has now bjen
reversed by the Supreme Court. The
specific points of reversal are not yet
known.
Some idea of the world's progress
in cheapening the coat of production
in oertain important activities
shown by the fact that the average
cost of the sugar brought into the
United States in 1870 was 5 cents
pound. Last year it was 3 cents.
A lev latter
Would not interest you if you're
looking for a guaranteed salve for
sores, burns or piles. Otto Dodd, of
Ponder, Mo., writes: "I suffered
with an ugly sore for a year, but
box of Buoklen's Arnica Bulve cured
me. It's the beet salve ou earth

HE RAMBLER'S PICKINGS
Did you ever see so muoh water
as we had here last week? No. The
oldest person living around here
never saw snob, a flood In the Dela-
ware. Ther6 is no use trying to
desorlbe the damage done, as every
one knows just as muoh about It as
we do.
When it comes to enterprise and
trying to recover from a calamity,
there are places where there la
more push than here. There Is too
much rod tape, The Delaware
bridge company will now reap a
harvest for awhiie, while the Barrett
bridge oompany oan spend a little ot
its surplus.
Our looal telephone oompany la
mighty slow repairing its damaged
linos.
The new rule laid down by the
county commissioners regarding as
sessors seems to scare some. One
resignation has been sent in already.
No doubt our town will be lively
the ooming two weeks. Court,
iustltute and a democratic rally
Tuesday evening.
By the death of Miss Bertha Boyd
this town loses one of Its most
estimable young ladies. The be
reaved family has the sympathy of
the entire community.
The high water is causing gome
sudden and unexpected ohanges of
rosidenoe.
Rambler must be exousod for his
short comings this week. The flood
ther troubles and disappointments
have taken all the snap ont of him
for the present. But we expect to
recover as it is always darkest
before daylight.
The Editor of the Press was also
disappointed. He expected to make
a visit, bnt Providence interfered.
Trying to Parallel Case
Some of onr demooratlo contem
poraries are attempting to show a
case of parallel traditions in Mr.
Roosevelt's and Mr. Cleveland's
oandidaoy for the presidency. Mr.
Roosevelt Is desirous of seourlnar
what no man has attained before,
election to tho presidency after hav
ing filled an -unexpired term of a
predecessor ; Mr. Cleveland if he
aspires to a third term, likewise
wants something that no other man
has yet secured. Beyond the two
men possibly wanting the same
thing tnere is no similiarlty. There
Is no warning of any statesman, nor
any good reason against electing to
the presidency a man who has
successfully filled ont an unexpired
term. On the other hand the argu
ment Is In favor of suoh a course
where the man has acquitted him-
solf well. The election of a man
three times to the presidency ia a
far different thing. The first dis
senter from such a programme waa
George Washington, the flrat
American, and many have since
reiterated his belief. Theso warn
ings would confront Mr. Cleveland
thb moment of bis nomination.
Evacuating Manchuria
October 8th has come and gone
and Russia ia still in Manohnna. It
has made an opening for any num
ber of "I told yon sos," and thny
were not all confined to England.
It is now stated that Russia will
never evacuate Manchuria unless
her latest demands are granted. As
long as the open door of trade ia
maintained in Manchuria the
American government, it is stated
will evince no further interest in
the matter. The great number of
both Russian and Japanese warships
in Korea attaoh decided interest to
tho situation.
How Old is Ann
Mary is twenty-four years old.
