considerable surprise expressed when It was
announced n cotiplo of months ago that nil
tho horses in training would be .sold In
September, nnd that tho stallions, brood

that L. y. Thompson is not particularly
Interested in throughbreds, but W. P.. or
"Young Will," as hois generally known, is very
fond of the sport of kings, and thn Impression
lias been general for some timo thnt lie would
secure some of tho horses, and, associated with
James Itowo, would continue racing. It is to bo
hoped that some suih arrangement will bo

For the Fall Handicap at six furlongs Hastings,
fresb from Saratoga, was scheduled to meet
tlie great Voter, while Ornament, just 011
from a defeat for the Campau Slakes nt Detroit;
Cleophus, Hondo, and St. Nicholas II. rounded

A majoiity of tho tnlent thought so, for

obstreperous at tho harrier, und a good start
was secured without the aid of the machine.
It must bo taruo in mind that thntriitkwas
muddy nml slow, yet Hastings und Voter went
away nead and head, audTot a pace that wns
simply hcarlbroaking. No horse ever foaled
could live under It. and when Voter had Hast
ings In t rouble nt thohcftd of tho slrctth he hnd
signed his own death wnrrnnt also. Cleophus
swept up next tho rail, nnd collaring Voter at

A storm which did sevore damage broke over
New Jersoy early yesterday morning. The
cloudburst or a few weeks ago, which flooded
several suburban village! and towns, blocked
railroads and brought business to a standstill
for a time, was moro than equalled In violence
and disastrous effect by the storm of yesterday.
Tbe perfected eewer systems of the larger places
like Jersey City, Newark and Hobokcn saved
them from washouU, but even In certain parts
of these cities tho rain Oiled cellars, undermined
roads and sidewalks and did other damago
which It will cost many thousands of dollars to
ropnlr.
In the smaller places tho full force of the
storm was foil. In Itnhway, Elizabeth, Plain
flold, Cranford, Linden, Woodbrldg-e, Carlsladt
and a half dozen other places the damage was
large. Rivers overflowed their banks, cellars
and yards were filled with water, and tho un
precedented spoctacle of animals swimming
around In six foet of water, where thero ought
to have been thoroughfares, was presented.
Tho rallroadB Buffered greatly. Whole sec
tions ot tracks were dislodged or so covered
with sand and dirt that It was impossible for
trains to run. In other places the tracks wero cov
ered so deeply by the water that trains could not
pass. Tbo w ntcr formed as formldablo a barrier
ns tho Band and dirt. Thousands of commuters
wero delayed nnd the air was mado blue over
Jersey by tho comments on tho elements.
Tho storm wasn't a long- one. It began to rain
in somo places at about 5 o'clock. In other
places tho first drops fell at 0 o'clock. It came
unannounced In some places and was preceded
by terrific thunder and lightning in others. In
tho matter ot eloctrlcal display the elements
were partial to certain sections, but they showed
no favor about the rain. It fell as bard as It
could ovcryn hero. As usual, tho oldest Inhabi
tant remembered a storm in the remote past
which was a little bit worse but tbe more
recent dwellers on earth agreed that they had
novor struck anything like It before and hoped
they'd never encountor another.
Tbo worst damage was done tn Rahway. The
rain obliterated a dozen well-known roads nnd
streets. It swelled tho Ilahway River until tbo
water roachod a point eight feet above tho high
water line, and four feet higher than tbe record
mark of tbreo weeks ago. It roso six of tho eight
feet in an hour, between S and 0 o'clock, and
would havo gono higher but for tho fact that
tbo cellars ot tho houses along the banks began
to tako In tho water. Tho roads, too, had to be
filled beforo tho river could go any higher, and
but for tbo fact that there aro acres of farm land
to tho north of tho river, and somewhat
lower than Its banks, a largo slicoof Ilahway
w ould havo been washed away.
Tho bridges over the river were impassable
until almost noon. The torrent swept com
pletely over them, nnd It was feared for a time
that they could not stand the strain. When tbe
water subsided below tho bridgo lines the en
trances wero closed. Tho structures creaked
and swayed so under the forco of tbe water that
it was thought unsafe for people to cross tbe
stream on them.
Tbe storm broke In Rahway with a crash of
thunder and a streak of lightning that woko up
tho town. People got up and looked out ot their
windows, but speedily pulled their beads In
again when tho rain began to come down. Not
a dozen people In tbo place took warning from
tho thunder and lightning and prepared for tho
flood that followed. Most of tho citizens found
out what had happened when they looked out of
their windows at about 7o'clock and saw things
floating by their houses with tbe streams which
covered the places where the roads ought to
have been.
llaydock and Elizabeth avenues. Lewis. Peck.
Hamilton, Newton, Union, and Allen streets
and all of tbo roads and lanes near tbe river
were flooded. In none of these streets was tho
water less than four feet deep, and In most of
them It was six feet deep. John Greener, who
lives on New-ton street, was awakened by the dis
turbance among bis pigs and cows and the shrill
neighs ot his two horses. Ho looked out of the
rear window of his houso and was knocked
breathless by tbe sight of tho animals swim
ming nround In apparently deep water. Mr.
Circcner knew it bad rained, but had no idea
that a flood had descended over tbe land. In
tho front of tho bouse he found tbo water only
four feet deep, so he waded out and led his ant-
mals Into tho parlor ball, where he left them un
til the Hood subsided sufficiently to allow him to
take them elsewhere,
James Van .Pall's two horses were swimming
around in soven feet of water in frov.t.nf his
houso on t'ninn street when hewokeiip. Ho
made a raft out of xomc bo-vrds ho found in bis
storeroom, puddled out to the animals, nnd suc
ceeded after an hour's work in getting them to
u place of safety.
Tho Btcambont Marion was torn from her
moorings near Tappfn's dock and was carried
down the river and dasbod against the Iong
II ranch Railroad bridge. Nothing Is left of her
but tho hull. The Italiwity water works, audio
from tbe city on North llrnnch River, wero
Hooded. L'ncle Dan lletlleld said this afternoon:
"Damn it. tho New York papers haven't got
anything about my !". My giiuiccoeks vv ere
nil carried awav hy the Hood. I hired a niggor
to save them. IIo saved a horso and let my
gamecocks go."
At St. Mark's Church water filled tho school
room in tho basement In tho ceiling. Il Hooded
the basement of tho rectory next the church and
Father Kaiser's ihefwas unable to reach tho
pantry. Tho wator about tho building wns four
feet deep. John Tier. 11 neighbor, waded in and
handed rather Kaiser's breakfast in through n
window. Ex-Mayor D. K. It no. who lives In
tho same neighborhood, lost nil his poultry.
Tho Iteglna Music llo Coiiipaii.v a plant was

Albert Page's steam varht was ditched against
Milton nvcntie drawbridge and was wrecked.
Tho experiences of Messrs. Van Pelt and
(Irccncr wero the samn as thoso of ninny other
residents of Habway. It was Impossible until
Into In the afternoon to get at the work of pump
ing out cellars, and In the meantime people
whoso houses and lands were Hooded had to go
from Place to place in boats or nn rafts, lly 4
o'clock in the afternoon Rahway began to look
like Itself again.
The damago clone to property in Ilahway will
amount lo considerable. Tho chief sufferers
w ere the Lafargo Wheel and Spoken Works and
tlielteglma Muslo jinx Company. Theso fac
tories were flooded and much valuable machin
ery Injured.
Elizabeth stood the storm a llttln better than
Rahway, as tbe ewer system la better. Never
theless dozens of cellars wero flooded mid
wherever thuro was a depression In tho muds or
streets a pond arranged Itself. In many of tho
stores In tho business section tho merchants
had to hustlo t belr stocks off of t he ground floors.
Atone time It looked as though the water was
going to flood about a fool above the sldownlks.
All street-car Unfile was slopped by the Hood
and great quantities of lumber, swept by tho
water from the yards on tho outskirts of tho
city, piled up, forming dams and making many
streets unfordabln. Tho Street Cleaning De
partment worked for hours breaking up theso
dams. Manypcoplo wero unnble to leavo their
houses at all,
Ihepeoploof Elizabeth were Indignant over
the flood. They have been lighting for n better
system of sewers for a long time, and after the
flood of threo weoks ago tbo authorities prom
ised that tbey would improve tilings. Nothing
bad been done, howover, and tho flood ot yester
day caught tbe city as unprepared os itwus
threo weeks ago. Cherry, Uroad. Orchard, and
alnut strcots and Westflcld avenue suffered
most from the flood.
Plnintleld got a pretty big slice of the storm,
hut In no public street was tnn water more than
four feel deep at any time. Hundreds of cellars
wero flooded, ono or two small bridges were
carried awav. and the lumber about tube used
in tho erection of several buildings floated olf.
Pcoplo who wanted to get to the railroad sta
tion had to go from tho porch of Ward's Hotel
by rafts.
It was tho samo story of flooded cellars and
impassable streets in a dozen othcrplaces. Hy 4
o clock In tbe afternoon thero were few places
that bad not recovered from the deluge, how
ever. In Newark, Jersoy City, nnd Hoboken many
cellars wero Hooded, while In somo parts of tho
. ,? water swept Into tho ground floors.
Allot tho railroads Bent out wrecking crews
during the morning. Trains wero all Into, and
roinmuters had a hard time getting In town.
Through trains wero delayed as well as the local
ones, but by noon tbo roads wero all running on
schedule timo.
In Newark the rain washed thousands of
sparrows from the trees and drowned them or
beat them to death upon tho ground In tho parks
gg 8,,rels. Not since the blizzard of March,
18S. have so many sparrows been killed. Ital
ian women and children gathered tbe dead
birds up in bags and baskets and carried tbem
away for food. The storm flllod the cellar of
John Somuiers' Son's faucet factory in Central
avenue and did 93,900 damage to stock and

THE SERVANT QUBST1QN.
This Is tho question that Is making American
women haggard and gray before their time.
How to got on with a servant, and how to got on
without her, if necessary this Is the groat per
plexity ot American housekeeping. It Is being
rellovod hy various domosllu Invontlons and
new appliances, ono of tho most effective nf
which is tho gas range. When Urldget is with
you it makes her reign much mora mild and tol
erable, and when she leaves you It enables ou
to do your own cooking, In tho Interval, with an
ease nnd accuracy that makes tbe process do
llghtfttl. Llfo In apartment houses. In particu
lar, becomes a different thing when the gas
range has supplanted the coal range, as It Is
doing In most of tbe best new apartment bousos
built. Mary families havo found it so easy to
sot on without nservnnt for a timo that thoy
nre In no hurry whatever about getting another
ns long ns tho gas range works so beautifully. A
light breakfast got ready In ten minutes: some
thing hot for lunch prepared in as llttlo timo;
dinner nt a restaurant that Is not so bad a
schomo of living. And when you aro being
severely croiB-quostloned by tho candidate for

Tho local moteorologtsts think thnt this breaks

A team of horses and an ico wagon disap
peared yesterday morning whilo being driven
oc Seventh nvenue, Newark, between High
street and Summer nvenue. The wagon be
longed to the Knickerbocker Ice Company of
Newark nnd was drawn by a heavy team of
grays. It was loaded with UOO-pound blocks of
ico. The driver wns Otto Arnold of 01 Howard
street, and his helper was Alfred Hoffman
of West Kinney street. They were driving
slowly up a hill over tho new granite block
pavement when they felt the ground sinking
beneath them.
It seemed to bo slowly melting away under
the wagon. HolTuian scrimblrd out upon tho
solid pavement, but Arnold stuck to the wagon
and tried to driv o the hor-?cs to solid ground.
Tbo wagon sunk slowlv as the earth melted
awny under the pavement. Suddenly there
came a crash which brought tho pnlico out of
the Second precinct station. "00 feet away.
They saw the yellow hood of tho wagon pro
jet ling abovo tbe pavement nml two hor-es
paw lug nt Its crumoling edge and sending the
paving blocks Into n torrent of water below
them.
A i-eclion of tho street twenty feet in diam
eter hnd caved in over a break in the tew or.
The horses -.creamed with fright nnd severnl
men tried to Bnv c them. Tho earth melted 1h- .
nc.ith them, and tho wagon went over on its
side. The pole snapped as It fell. Arnold was
pinned down by tho wagon boot until the earth 1
washed away. One of tho horces went down
with Its head In tho sewer. Tho other slid
down upon It. nnd in its struggles got one of Its
legs between tho spokes of tho hind wheels of tho
wagon.
It wus Imiw.sslble to savo tho horse, and
Piillto Captain Corbctt ordered it shot.
The accident occurred shortly after ? o'clock
in the morning. At noon the ice, the wagon,
and tho horses wero taken out of the holo with
a derrick. Tho foreman of tho Street Depart
ment said that a break in tho sewer during the
heavy rain of early in the morning bad hol
lowed out a cavity under the pavement, and
tbnl tho heavy ice wagon had broken through

The Edison Illuminating Company of St. Louis

aH,000,000 mortgage on its property, and tbe

on Sept. 11. Tbe holders of 3,077 shares havo
tgnod an agreement for the reorganization ot
the company on a plan favorod by the Street

of Huston, tho largest stockholder. James
Uamble, who owns fifty-seven shares of stock, is
opposed to the reorganization, and applied to
Justico Dickey In tho Supremo Court In Ilrook

foreclosure.
He alleged that tha directors bad appropri
ated $1,305,000 of tlm funds for fictitious im
provements, part or which money ought to have
been used to pay the interest on tbe mortgage.
Justico Dickey denied tho application on the
ground that tho KnlckcrlKickcr Trust Company,
tbe trustee had a right to sell the property
under foreclosure, and that as the reorganiza

would he disastrous nnd the Injury incalculable.
Thero was no proof that tbe plaintiff bad been

BABYLON'S CHOIR STRIKES.
"IF TltJC OITT FOI.KB BOFT XZJIJT
TUB MUSIC, LET T.31 STAT nOME."
Pastor Long Finds That He fnn't Plenae the
Rummrr Visitor nnd lb Chair, Tno, nnd
He Doesn't Know Whnt lo Do He OITera it
Compromise Plan, Which la Krjcctrd.
DAnvi-o, Ij. I Aug. 21. Pastor Long of tho
Presbyterian Church confronts a choir utrlkc.
Tho pastor Is busy In nn effort to smooth down
tho wrath of tho -:holr over Its slighted har
monies. Ho has signified his willingness to
meot tho members half way and to let them sing
half as much ns Ihcy wnnt to. Thoy refuse
to surrender, and nil of them except Edword
Miller, tho chnlrmnstor, w-ho sings a slightly
diversified bass, declare that, tlicy will never,
novcr lift their voices ngnln to help Mr,
Long's pnstorntc. Mr. Long Bomchovv bears
up brave).
Tho choir of the Habylon Presbyterian Church
has not nn overweening good opinion of Itself,
but it docs bellcvo that Its singing is worth
listening to. When It has practiced two even
ings a week on nn anthem, the choir feels that
it has a lien on tho ears of tho congregation for
tho next Sunday. Tho rclatlvos, ndmlrcrs,
nnd fricrds of tbo members of tho choir In tho
congregation wero disposed to let their affec
tion for tho individual members overbalance
their critical Interest In tbe music. Whatever
tho merits of tho choir as n music-producing
body, tho choir wns satisfied, nnd bo was tho
congregntlon-until summer enme.
With tho summer tho New Yorkers came.
The New York women who come out to Hnby
Ion for tho summer nro most of them well-to-do.
Such of them ns nro Presbyterians havo
been liberal in the support of tho church. Pas
tor Long npprcclntcd their kindnesses. He
hoped they would come forward with any sug
gestions, ho Bald. Ho wanted them to feel n
personal Interest In other than tbo merely
financial ntralrs of tho church. '1 ho New York
ers accepted the Invitation. They were not of
tho choir, nor wero they of Its relatives, ad
mirers, and friends. 'Ihcy felt frio to confess
Hint their desiru for sacred music vvuo not witls
lied by tho itiithcms width the rhulr executed
'or otherw Ifo put to death," as tho husband of
one of tho Now York women hald. 'I ho pastor,
with nn alacrity that both hurt nml uiu-crc-d
the choir, compiled. Ho announced tint In ro
after when tho choir sang tho whole congrega
tion must Blng, too. 'lho choir was positively
I1rohlbll1.1l from independent cflorts.
Then up roso Mrs. A. Ellis Hawkins nnd Ida
and Louise, Mrs. Von Wildun, and liattlo
Smith. Clement Priic, tho tenor, was carried
away In the tempest of tho women's displeas
ure. Only Kdwnrd Mllkr was left. He tllim't
Btrikc. liy and by, when the New Yorkers
went home, thero would be another choir
formed with unlimited licctiho tn ping. When
that dav c-tmc, If he stuck hv tho pastor now,
ho would bo choirmaster. If bo went out, bis
reappointment was doubtful.
Pastor Ixing was Mimewhnt perturbed by tho
sudden spunklness of his choir. Ho explained
to tho choir that t he arrangement for congrega
tional singing applied only to tho morning tor
vice. In tho evening brrvico tho choir could
havo all the music tu Itself and weltome. If
bucIi n thing wero possible, the choirs anger
grew hotter. Tho members knew- nnd the pa
tor knew that tho New Yurkera never attended
the evening service.
Tho temper of the chclr had reached a point
where it had determined that thehi.ted citv
folks must li'tcn to thoso anthems If thev goto
church at all. The relative-, ndmlrcrs, and
friends took their side. Tlu-v rciustd to ac
cept the compromise. It looks as though the
musical exercises next Sunduv night would 1
altogether made up of bass solos by Mr. Mil'er.
Among the Now ork women in the liabvlon
Prcsbv tcrian Church are .Mrs. .. ij, v. Post
and Mrs. Cornelius D. Wu-sluff.

Ten davs ago -he was taken ill with nppendi

Her physician was with her. but her condition
grew npidly worre, und on Friday, when an
other doctor wen: up to consult with Dr. Yocom
it was found that sho was too weak to permit
an operation to be performed.
Mr. Wallaco broke all previous records for
fast travelling over the road to Mount Rainier
in hastening to his wife's bedside. Ho was in
Portland on Saturdny when he received a tele
gram notifying him of her serious illness. He
hastened to Tacoma nnd stepped from a train
into a butrgy drawn by the faste-t team ob

DR. JOllDAX O.V XJJ17 SEALS.
The Only VTay In sst the Herd la to Pro
hibit Pelasle Sealing.
SAN FittNCisco, Aug. 21. Dr. Jordan of Stan- I
ford I'nlversltv arrived to-day from bio trip to
HchringSeo. He had little to say In addition to
what has already been telegraphed from Scvttle. 1
hut he put in a more forcible way some of his
conclusions reached after two years' study of
seals.
He said the sole cause of the decline of the
seal herd was tho Indlscrimlnite slauchtcr of
female seals, which has reduced the herd to one
fifth of Its slzo fourteen years ago. The onlv
remedy Is the prohibition of pelagic scaling.
One mistake made by the t'nited States at the
Paris tribunal was in claiming Retiring Sea ass
rnareclaiirum. nnd another was in submitting
tho preservation of the seal herd to a tribunal
which hBd no means of discriminating between
scientific facts, gossip, and perjury. Dr. Jordan
thinks that the four nations interested will de
vise somo means of saving tho remntint of tho
seals and providing for their Increase.

alleged to have quarrelled with bis mistress on
account of tho presence of three other women
whom sho had sheltered during bis absence.
They left tho house, according to the testimony
of neighbors, a week ago, ut which tun
smith ills ippcarcd. One of his friends asked
tho Shea woman last Saturday what
bad become of him, and she is alleged
to havo replied that ho wns then nslce-p In
bed. The Shcit vvomnn was missed for a '.me
from the neighborhood shortly nftcr this in.
quiry was tn.tde. On tbe same day tho people
living In the building noticed n bad odor Oa

was Impossible to determine from a superfl'-lal
I examination tbe cause of Smith's death. The
I Coroner wns notified and the body was taken to

formed. 1 The ;-hc woman told a number of contradic
tory stories to the police. She said that fhs
thought Smith was sleeping all the time he wn
in the bed and that she left the bouse on ac
count of the odor.
sho appeared to be dazed and apparently
rould furnish very llttlo information about
