Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the | new field all the consumers may | expect a light shortage of gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up Ihe new wells to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is laid (and, the wells connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very’ hard to get an order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the ; gas companies located in the gas ; belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their cusI tomers. We being some 42 miles ■ from the gas field l are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have [extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur, Monroe, Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers.

REGULARS LEFT ALONE [ National Guardsmen Have Now All Left Camp Young. Camp Young. West Point, Ky„ Oct. 12. —Sunday at Camp Young found all the national guardsmen speeding homeward, the Kentucky and Wisconsin regiments being the last to leave. The 3,000 regulars remaining spent a quiet day with nothing between rollcalls save divine service and band concerts. Today the regulars began the first of the final series of maneuvers Involving the attack and defense of a wagon traia The work yet to be done Is deemed of sufficient Interest to hold Gensral Bates, Colonel Wagner, the chief umpire and the senior umpires. Colonel Dorst and Colonel Trothers, until Wednesday. A comprehensive estimate of the cost of the prevent series of maneuvers Is not available at present, but It Is known that It cost something like 1830,900 to move the national guard regiments, feed them and pay them.

WOF.SE THAI FIRE Patterson, N. J.. Suffering Mors From Flood Than From 1901 Elaze. The Loss by Reason of the Rise in the Passaic River Will Reach Into the Millions. Many Houses Have Been Washed Away and the Peril Is Not Yet Over. Paterson, N. J . Oct. 12.—For nearly sixty hours Paterson has been at the mercy of the Passaic river. Th? waters have maintained a height sufil lent to cut the westein half of the city from the eastern and almost all means of communication uy bridges have been wPwW ■■ MAYOU JOHN HINCHLIFi £ OF I'AIEUSO?;, X. J. destroyed. Two bridges above the falls remain, but approach to them Is impossible. Three bridges below the , valley of the Rocks still stand, but it Is impossible to live in reaching them Seven other bridges in the city have I been carried away and their loss alone .is half a million dollars The inunda : tion of the low-lying districts of the , city has resulted in inconceivable dam i age to property. The flood, however is beginning to recede. A number of buildings feii Sunday and many others have been undermined If they do not fall they will at least be untenable. Spruice street bill is falling away piecemeal, and only a little more than two feet of dirt and stone separate the Falls basin from the big black race through which millions of gallons of water are rushing every hour. The gate-house Is In a very weakened condition and Is liable to go if Spruice street hill breaks mucn more Mayor Hlnchcllffe. who has !>een superintend Ing the work of strengthening the dykes and water-gates, regards the sit i nation as most critical Boatmen have ; been hard at worn rescuing people from the flooded districts The suf sering in the First and Second wards has been intense, as it was almost impossible to reach the residents there. Several hundred persons were remov ed from houses completely surrounded by the flood and ready to collapse ai any moment. A dozen more of these houses later did collapse and floated down the stream. The damage to mill property is chiefly from the submersion of portions of the plants and great quantities of products. Thousands of men, women and children will be out I of employment for a long time, and it seems altogether probable that the flood will cause to the city of Paterson a greater direct loss of money anil property than the fire of nearly two | years ago. The gross loss then was Jtl.Oi <>.()< 0. with an insurance of more than 34,000,000. The sh > sent loss is estimated at considerably more than (2.000,000. with no insurance. Twenty-five bridges are down in Passaic and Sussex counties ou th.- Sus quehanna railroad. Street Commit sioner Brett fears that many hous-s on River, Main and West streets will fall The maximum height of the flood was two feet over the flix»d of 1902. Loss Will Reach Millions. Fasten. Pa., Oct. 12. —The Delaware river continues to fall rapidly It impossible to estimate the loss or av,, l approximate It, but In Easton am! towns up and down the Deis ware, it will take millions to replace the bridges and repair the damage. Only J one bridge from the headwaters of the Delaware to Easton Is standing, and that Is an old severed structure at Portland. Most Disastrous Ever Known. 1 Suffera, N. Y .
