of 1 square mile suffered from Saturday night’s cloudburst. The flood reached the second stories of houses on (foeppe and Spruce streets, Old Bethlehem, and Second street in South Bethlehem. The damage to private property is estimated at $50,000 and to sewers and highways 810,000. That no lives were lost is a miracle. The people in the flooded districts .are very poor and are suffering for want of assistance. The funeral cortege of the late Mrs. William Skinner was caught in the storm returning from the cemetery. The horses took fright at the pelting hail and ran away. Mrs. Jacob T. Shimcr, of West Bethlehem, had her arm broken, and Mrs. Curtis, who was picked up unconscious, is in a precarious condition.

LOST AT SEA. Gale Sweeps the Baltic with Fatal and Disastrous Effect. London, Sept. 8 . —A dispatch from Ilelsingfor, capital of Finland, tells the story of dreadful sufferings experienced a few days ago by men employed in the Baltic fisheries. The fishing licet was all at sea when a terrific gale arose, forcing the boats to run for shelter. Some of them reached harbors of refuge and there rode out the storm. Light of them, however, lost their bearings and ran on the Noerpes islands, where the

trer.;. .1 / *', to piece" The n?:e principally desolate rocks. As the seas swept over the wrecked fishing boats before the latter broke up they carried away fifteen fishermen, whose bodies were never afterward seen. Those left on the boats knew their vessels were doomed and made \Vhat few preparations were possible to get ashore. There seemed to be only one chance in a hundred of their reaching a place of safety, but this chance they took and landed on one of the islands, almost completely exhausted. For three days the -storm raged with unabated fury, and the men, who were without food, were exposed to its full force. At the end of three days a passing vessel was sighted and in response to the fishermen’s signals ran in under the lee of the island and sent boats to take off the shipwrecked men. In the meantime two of the fishermen had succumbed, and their bodies were left on the island. The rescued were in a pitiable condition. Several of them were unconscious when found, and it is feared some of them will die. TURF RECORD OUTDONE. Robert J. Wins New Laurels—Al lx Lowers Her Record. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 7. —In the presence of 8.000 people at the Driving club race meeting Thursday doe Patchen, the black son of Patchen Wilkes,and Robert J., the fastest harness horses in the world, fought a desperate battle for a purse of $5,000. Joe Patchen proved himself the greatest of all pacing stallions and forced the champion to go three miles in 2:03%, 2:02%, 2:04%, making an average of 2:03%, while the time o's the black stallion was 2:04, 2:03% and 2:05. Alix, the racing queen of trotters, trotted a mile to dethrone Nancy Hanks as queen of trotters. She failed to disturb her record, but trotted the best mile of her life by going the distance in 2:04%. The other three races that were concluded during The afternoon paled into insignificance in comparison with the star performance of harness racing history, which only is a more convincing proof of what a wonder Robert J. is. Dropped Dead. Peoria, 111., Sept. 8. —Henry P. Ayres, treasurer of the dime savings bank, and who has been associated vvith the banking business in this city for nearly twenty years, on Thursday dropped dead at White Rear lake, while returning from a three weeks’ business trip to Dakota and the northwest.

MAINE’S ELECTION. Returns Show the Success of the Republican Ticket. Gov. Cleave*’ Majority I* Estimated at 37,000—T0m Reed and Other Republican Congressional Candidates Easily Win. THE VOTE IN MAINE. Augusta, Me., Sept. 11. —The election for state oflieers was held Monday. Returns have been received from over 100 cities and towns, and these indicate that the state has reelected Gov. Cleves (rep.) over Charles F. Johnson (dem.) by a majority which will exceed 37,000, the largest in the history of the party. Chairman Manley, of the republican state committee, estimates from the returns received and from private advices that the entire vote will exceed 110.000, of which Gov. Cleaves (rep.) will have over 72,000. The republicans have carried every county in the state, and it is estimc.ted that the legislature will have a republican majority of 125, which insures the reelection jof Senator William I*. Frye. Chairman Manley telegraphed Senator Frye as follows: “To lion. William P. Frye. Lewiston: Kennebee gives 'Jt. OO majority and elects a solid delegation. Cleaves will have .'J7.000 majority over Johnson. We have carried every,county. 1 congratulate you sincerely. You have the largest legislative vole ever given a senator, a v.IH earned and deserved compliment. - ’ \Thomas B. Keetfhas been, reelected to congress by a plurality estimated at 10,000. Nelson Dingley, Seth 11. Milligan and 11. Boutelle are also reelected to congress ly majorities ranging from (*,OOO to l),W00. The total vote, will probably exceed 110,000. Hon. J. 11. Manley, chairman of the republican state committee, at 11:30 o’clock sent a .message to Henry 8., Cleaves at Portland in which he claimed the state had gone republican by a majority exceeding 37,000 as far as the election for governor was concerned, the largest ever given. In 1850 Hannibal Hamlin had 25,000 majority. Samuel (Wry in IHS had 20.700, and Gen. Chamberlain bail 27,000 in 1800, the only times in the history of the state that, the majority had exceeded 20,001) for the republican party. The probation party, cut no figure in the election. The populists fell far short of their most confident, expectations, but may poll 5.000 votes in the state. Reports from all over the state indicate that the republicans are half mad with joy over their victory. Portland.. Me., Sept. 11.—One hundred and eighty-nine towns give Cleaves (rep.) IV.IO'J; Johnson (dem.), PJ.sijO; scattering, 4,0*1). In 1802 ( leaves had in the same towns 45,071; Johnson, 30,010; scattering, 1,107. Republican plurality this year, 27,300, against 0,355 in these towns in 1802. About two-th : rds of the vote isill and if the 'other---third comes in in the same ratio the republican plurality will reach 30,5‘U). Cumberland county gives about 4,-100 plurality and has-therefore elected county ticket so far as can be judged. Portland, Me., Sept. 11. —The rejoicing republican rank and file crowded city- hall Monday evening, and from the plat form numerous anlioiaicciiieiits of details of the republican victory were read. There was cheer after cheer as Tom Reed entered the hall. Mr. Reed made a- short address. lie said among other things: “The derision reached by the people of Maine is a most important decision.

The new Atlantic cable carries 050 pounds of highest-purity copper and 500 pounds of gutta percha insulation to the mile. White clothing is cool because it reflects the heat of the sun; black clothing is warm because it absorbs both heat and light. A Caterpillar in the course of a month will devour six thousand times its own weight in food. It will take a man three months before he eats an amount of food equal to his own weight.

Assistance was sent by special train from Massillon, Orville and Canton. The ' village water supply was soon exhausted, and then wells and cisterns were emptied. Early in the morning a welcome rain began to fall and the flames began to die out. The fin? is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. The fire originated in a stable, and while the direct cause-of-its origin is unknown it N presumed it was prompted by tramps taking quarters there for the night.

Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 11.—Hon. T. J. Hudson publishes a letter giving his reasons for declining to make the race for congress as candidate of the people's party in the Third Kansasdistrict. In the letter, which was addressed to the chairman of the eovention which nominated him, Congressman Hudson explains his pecuniary condition, which, he says, is the sole cause of his withdrawal. His property is heavily encumbered, and his holdings have rapidly depreciated in value, while his law practice has dwindled to nothing, owing to Ins congressional duties. 110 says his income as congressman has proved insufficient to meet the demands upon it.

Debs and the other officers and directors of the American Railway union, continued from July 25, was resumed before Judge Woods in the United States appellate courtroom in the Monadnock block at 10 a.m. Wednesday. All of the defendants except President Debs were in court. It was announced that Mr. Debs was in Chicago, but that lie was ill and con fined apartments. It was agreed to proceed with the case just as if he were present. The case made up of the information filed by the government and the case brought against the defendants by the Santa Fe railroad, it was agreed should be tried together. Air. Gregory, for the defense, moved for a trial by jury. Judge Woods said that as this was but a procedure for contempt of an injunction he would, for the present, overrule the motion. He would hear the motion at the right time. He must hear the evidence first in the equity case. Mr. Milchrist then took up the insinuation filed against Hogan, Burns, and other directors of the American Railway union, and said it was the same as that filed against Debs and others in the first information. It specified , that for three days after the injunction had been issued, the American Railway union, by its officers and upon their order, had kept certain railroads from operating their lines in Chicago and had thereby interfered with interstate commerce and the carrying of the United States mails. Cjiigaoo, Sept. 8. —On Thursday Western Union Manager Mulford read several messages and telegrams in support of the prosecution and which were purported to have been sent by Mr. Debs. Defense held that no proof had been established that Debs sent til 1 6 telegrams bearing his name. Most of the telegrams were typewritten, signature and all. Chiuago, Sept. 10. —On Friday the testimonies heard were those of railway employes. One witness testified that lie had bee a forced to join the strike through intimidation.

Murphy, tlie engineer on the Michigan Central train which was wrecked at Kensington on July 5, told his story. After he had been driven from his cab he said lie was escorted to. aho.us.e in Pullman by six men, the leadwas armed with a revolver. Here he was confined for some time behind locked doors. At last he persuaded the leader to let him go, and while the mob was engaged elsewhere he succeeded in getting his train out of Kensington. Amid a fusillade of objections from Air. EiTvin Mr. Walker brought by questions the information which the witness had subsequently obtained with regard to his captors. He said the leader of the six men was named Kennedy and the house to which lie had been taken was 142 Fulton street, Pullman, second flat. He had gone in company with some officers’of the'road and identified the premises. Witness said he was notified to testify at the trial by the master median ic of the road. James 11. Banta, an Illinois Central engineer, told of his experiences on Jn 1 3 T sat Kensington, how lie had been stoned and hi;S- e.ngimyent wrecked. M. Gepper, an engineer on the Big Four, testified to the same occurrences. He said lie had been called a “scab,’’ and he thought it uncomplimentary. 11. F. Houghton, assistant superintendent of the Big Four road, corroborated the testimony of his two predecessors. GERMAN RITUAL MUST GO. Supreme Lodge, Knight* of Pythias, Adopt* the Majority Report. Washington, Sept. 7.—The much mooted German question has been decided by the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias by a decisive vote against permitting the use of the ritual in other than the English language.

A MOTHER’S STORY. Happiness Comes After Years ol Suffering. The Terrible Experience of a Well-Known Official’* Wife—A Story That Appeal* to Every Mother in the Laud. [From the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Press.] No county official in East Tennessee Is better known and more highly esteemed than Mr. J. C. Wilson, Circuit Court Clerk of Rhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr. Wilson. Ho enjoys the confidence and respect of all classes, and in tho business community his'word is as good as his bond. Just now Mr. Wilson is receiving heartiest congratulations from his numerous friends because of tho restoration to robust health pf his estimable wife, who has for years oecn a helpless invalid. Mrs. Wilson’s high standing in society, her many lovable traits of character have won lier a host of friends, and her wonderful recovery has attracted wide-spread atteiiWli.%^, As the Pres* was tho medium of bringing to the invalid lady's attention the remedy that has effected her remarkable cure, a reporter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs. Wilson, in order that tho general public might have tho benefit of tho sufferer’s experience and lie made aware of the treatment that wrought such a marvelous change in her condition. Tho reporter was welcomed at tho Wilson homo, and the enthusiastic lady with becoming reluctance gave tho history of her affliction and the maimer in which she was relieved: “Yes,” said Mrs. Wilson, “I was for eight years an invalid with one of the most distressing afflictions woman can suffer. For eight years I moped around, dragging myself with difficulty and pain out of bed. My little ones went untrained and were greatly neglected, while I looked listlessly and helplessly at tho cheerless prospect before ine and them. I suffered the most intense pains in tho /small of my back, and these seemed even greater in tho region of the stomach, extending down to the groins. I suffered agony sleeping or awake. Despair is no word for the feeling caused by that dreadful sensation of weakness and helplessness I constantly.cxperienced. “I was treated for my trouble by several local physicians; but they were able to give me only temporary relief by tho use of sedatives and narcotics. I had almost given up all hope of ever securing permanent relief when I saw an account in tho Pres* of a cure which Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills had effected. I decided to try them, as I knew tho lady who had been cured and had great confidence in her statement. I began to take the pills in October, 18J3, and in two months I was doing light housework and attending to tho children without any bad effects or weakness, such as I had formerly experienced. Hitherto I had been unable to retain any food, but now my appetite grew stronger, and with it came back that old, healthy and hearty toneof Alio stomach. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured me, and I assure 3*ou the cure has brought a great change in our homo. I. can now rejoice in my husband's success, for I feel that I have-some-thing to live for. Who has a better right to feci this than a mother J One thingniorc. I have recommended theso pills to others, and many of t.lio women ot Dayton have taken them with good results, and it is my greatest pleasure to recommend to every suffering woman a remedy that lias done so for me:” Tvn analysis proves Williams'Pink Pills for l*ale-People contain, in aeondonsed form, all the elements necessary to give, new life and richness to the blood and restore shatttered nerves. , They, are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor, ataxia, partial paralysis,-St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, tho after effects of la grippe, palpitation of tho heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling resulting from nervous prostration; ail diseases resulting from vitiated humors in tho blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities, ajid all forms of weakness.
