River* Overflowed Thalr Banks and People Traversed Streets by Boat?Scores Had Marrow Escapes From Terrible Deaths Albany, N. Y.?A flood, which in ?1 ? ? +Ka nmnnrtiAnQ many pmces icavucu uic of a deluge, ripped and tore and smashed its way through the State, carrying away human habitations in its pitiless sweep, driving away thousands who had been rendered homeless by the in-rush of waters, blocking railroad traffic completely at many points and leaving a waste of desolation in its path." It is difficult to estimate the loss in property that will result from the combined work of rain and melting snow, which transformed rivulets into rushing streams and rivers into roaring torrents. Human life was mercifully spared, although in many places loss of life was prevented only by the heroism of rescuers, who pluc'ied struggling men, women and children out of the'very grasp of the deluge. The great feature of the dood is to be found in the large number of people who were rendered homeless by 5*a onmimr. The outDour came sudden ly, and many families were startled out of their* sleep by the rushing of the waters, y Syracu*^ N. Y.?The worst flood ever experienced in Syracuse occurred wher Onondaga Creek rose six feet iq/a period of less than nine hours .*hd, overflowing its banks, spread de. vastation in all directions. Five hun* dred families were driven from their homes by the deluge, and as many / more were excited almost to a degree of panic. Property was damaged to the extent of $250,000. Reports from the neighboring counties indicate that scarcely an industry located on the bank of a stream escaped damage. Ithaca, N. Y.?The most disastrous flood Ithaca has experienced since 1S57 resulted from a heavy downpour of rain. A conservative estimate of the damage done to property in this city places the loss at $150,000, and it is highly probable that the total loss will aggregate $200,000. The destruction was greatest along Six Mile Creek and Fall Creek gorges. The power and lighting plants of the Ithaca Street Railway Company were washed out and two trolley cars were swallowed up in the torrent. All street car traffic was suspended and the city left in total darkness. Malone, N. Y.?Much damage was done throughout Northern New York by the extremely high wind which prevailed for twenty-four hours, reaching ho nf a tnvnndn The weather , was warm and followed by rain. This sent the snow out of the Adirondacks like magic. The Salmon River at Malone was never known to be higher and may houses on the lower level were flooded. The wagons of people * driving in the country were in many places turned completely around or blown into the ditches. Auburn, N. Y.?All day a fierce storm raged here, doing great damage. Twenty bridges on the Lehigh Valley Railway, south of this city, were washed away. Besides this, the track was undermined in many places and blockaded by landslides. The water In !Owasco Lake rose eighteen inches. Moravia, a village twenty miles south of Auburn, was under three feet of water when the rain ceased. Schenectady, N. Y.?The dam at , . Hinckley Lake, twenty-three miles !;? . north of Herkimer, gave way, and th? ? 100,000 logs at the dam were swept down the creek and into the Mohawk ?ea River. The logs are valued at $75,000. An iron bridge and a sawmill were carried along by the force of the current. PENNSrLVAKIA SWEPT BY S- ORBK. Damage of Millions of Dollar* ? Mines FIood?(l^nd Houses Isolated.

C.?Rear-Admiral Kfhlpv's hill of exeentions to the ma- r jority report of the Court of Inquiry was handed to Secretary Long by M. A. Teague. The bill, which was drawn by Mr. Rayner, contains thirty-one exceptions. The ground of the objection is that the majority of the Court in preparing its opinion and finding considered only the testimony , of the witnesses against Admiral P Schley; that it ignored the testimony ti of his witnesses altogether, and that tl even in considering the testimony of t the witnesses against him it ignored those portions of their testimony which & were favorable to him. ol The prayer is that the majority re- u port be disapproved, and that Secretary Long remit the proceedings to the Court, with instructions to them " to take into consideration the testi- S mmiv fnvnriihip in Sehltu* and nrenare 01 a new report. The thirty-one para- gi graphs point out the cases in which the Court is alleged to have ignored ^ the testimony in favor of Schley. It is " charged in plain terras in the twenty- a ninth paragraph that the majority se- S lected the testimony of a few hostile " witnosses and based their opinion and ^ finding on that, discarding all the other testimony. It is further charged that the ma- j1 jority found Schley guilty even on the ~ specifications which the Judge Advocate abandoned as incapable of proof. The bill asserts that the majority have not only ignored all the testimony for * the defense, but have not even ad- ^ verted to it in their findings, ;.nd that "by so doing they have perverted the ends of justice." J As an example of this, it is charged J that the majority accepted the "Damn ? the Texas" colloquy as proved, al- ? through the only witness who testified that it occurred was Commander Hodgson, while Schley and Cook de- ^ nied it, and the other officers present ^ said tliey Heard no sucu conversauou. Manj' similar instances are given in 01 the bill. The bill also demaLds that n the Court pass upon the question of ? the efficacy of the blockade. The precept, it is claimed, ordered ? the Court to pass upon this, but the ci majority did not express any opinion ^ about it. It also demands that the s' Court shall express an opinion about *1 Captain Lemly's charge that Schley did not prescribe any orders of battle, t( and insists that the Court shall state w whether the danger which caused the tl Texas to back her engines was real or t( imaginary, and whether the loop which G was alleged to have been maile be- ^ cause of the dangerous proximity of 11 the Spaniards was undertaken from 0 fear or wise precaution. tl The bill insists particularly that the Court should take into consideration & the testimony of Captain Cook, and C also the evidence of the witnesses who U swore that Sigsbee told Schley that G the Spaniards were not in Santiago, ti The exceptions are only to those con- o: elusions and findings in which tue ma- R jority is charged with having ignored N the testimony of Schley's witnesses. b In cases where Admiral Schley be- P lieves that the Court took the testi- p; mony of both sides into consideration P he files no exception, even though the s< decision is against him. For exam- P pie. he files no exception to the charge P that he made slow progress toward S: Santiago. He and ,\s friends believe P that the charge was disapproved, and C Admiral Dewey so found in his minor- n ity report; but Schley believes that in R finding against him in this point the majority did consider all the testimony ol and so files no exception. There are m several other instances of the same kind. , r< ti CHAFFEE CALLS FOR MORE MEN. 01 No Redaction In the Philippine Army , For Next FItb Years. Washington. D.

Electric Age?Prearranged Lettar Re peated at interval* in tne itiarconi torn ? Inventor to Continue the Tram-At lantie Experiments In England. St. John's, N. P.?Siffnor Marconi has announced the most wonderful scien tlflc discovery of modern times, in stat Ing that he had received electric si? rials across the Atlantic Ocean fron his station in Cornwall, England. H< explains that before leavin.j Englanc he had made his plans for accomplish Ing this result, for, while his primarj object was to communicate with ocear liners in midocean, he also hoped tc succeed in attaining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless tele graphy across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi's station in Cornwai; Is most powerful. He possesses as electric force generated there a hun ared times greater than at his ordinaVj stations. Before he left England h( arranged with the electrician in charge of. the station, which is located al Poldhu, to begin sending signals dailj after a certain date, which Siguor Mar coni would cable him upon perfecting liis arrangements here. Signor Mar coni arrived here a week ago Friday and selected Signal Hill, at the entranc< of the harbor, as an experimenting station, and moved his equipmem there. On Monday he cabled to th< Poldhu station to begin sending signals at 3 p. in. daily, and to continue then until 6 p. m., these hours being respec tively 11.30 to 2.30 p. m., St. John's time. During these hours Wednesday Sig nor Marconi elevated a kit^ with ai aerial wire, by means of which sig nals are sent or received. He re mained at the recorder attached to th< receiving apparatus, and, to bis pro found satisfaction, signals were re ceived by him at intervals, according to the program arranged previously with the operator at Poldhu. Thes< signals consisted of repeating at inter vals the letter "S," which, in Marco ni's code, is made by three dots, oi quick strokes. This signal was re peated so frequently, and accordinj to the detailed plan arranged to pro " It-jlij.-. vide safeguards againsi possiuuuy ui a mistake, that Signor Marconi wai satisfied that it was a genuine trans mission from England. Again on Thursday, during the sami hours, the kite was elevated and th< same signals were renewed. This made the assurance so complete thai Signor Marconi cabled to his princi pals in England and also informed th< Governor of Newfoundland. Sir Cav endish Boyle, who apprised the Brit ish Cabinet of the success of the ex periments. Signor Marconi, though satisfied o; the genuineness of the signals and tha he succeeded in his attempts t< estr. h communication across tin Atlan.'c without the use of wires em phasizes the fact that the system is yet only in an embryonic stage, bu that the possibility of its ultimate de velopment is demonstrated by the sue cess of the present experiments witl incomplete and imperfect apparatus as the signals can only be received b3 the most sensitively adjusted appara tus. and Signor Marconi is workinj under great difficulties owing to th< conditions prevailing here. The Corn wall coast is 1700 miles from St John's. In view of the success attendin; these trials, Signor Marconi will* foi the present disregard the matter o: communicating with transatlantii steamers. He will return to Englanc immediately and will conduct the ex periments from Poldhu himself. Hi will undertake this work himself leaving assistants here to erect i mast and receive the signals as he for wards them.. It is not possible to re turn signals from here until a powerfu electric battery shall have been in stalled. Signor Marconi intends to build i large, fully equipped experimentn station near St. John's, besides th Lloyd's station at Cape Race. Th former will have the same equipmen as the Poldhu station, and will pin; the same part on this side of the Atlan tic as Poldhu does on the other. Th St. John's station will communicat with New York City on one side am Cornwall on the other, being midwa; between the two. This establlshmen will probably cost about $0,000. am will perform the same work as th modern cable station. THREE CHILDREN DROWNED. / wo Slater* and Brother Go Through Ic While Skating In the Dark.

CUBED BY ST. JACOBS OIL. (Prom the Cardiff Times.) Among the thousands of voluntary endorsements of the great value of St. Jacobs Oil for sprains, stiffness, and soreness, is that of Mrs. , G. Thomas, 4 Alexandra Road, Gelli, Yabrod, I near Pontypridd, South Wales, who says:? j "It is with great pleasure that I add my willing testimony to the invaluable excellence of your celebrated St. Jacobs Oil, as experienced ' ] In my own case. I sprained both my ankles j in walking down some steps so severely that I was unable to stand for several months. The pain I suffered was most severe, and nothing IH that I used helped me until I applied St. ^B| Jacobs Oil, when they immediately became E better daily, and in a short time I was able to go about, and soon after I was quite cured. I am now determined to advise all persons saf- W fering from pains to use this wonderful rem- H edy, which did so much for me." Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us aa to what treatment she pursued during the^H months she was unable to stand, and during which time she was suffering so much, but we venture to suggest that had she called in any well known medical man he would have at^Bj once have prescribed St. Jacobs Oil, for it has^^H conquered pain upwards of fifty years, and^H doctors know there is nothing so good. The^H proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil have been award^^H ed twelve gold medals by different intcrna-^Hj tional exhibitions as the premier pain-kiliing^^B remedv nf the world. The committees who^^Hj made the awards were in eacli instance com^HB posed largely of the most eminent medica^^H men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently dl^HB not know the high opinion in which St. Jacob^HB Oil is held by almost every progressive med^^H ical man. China is greater than Russia, Great Br^^H tain, Germany, France, Japan and th^^H United States combined.
