There was a 'violent thunder- , storm, the rain falling in torrents. The I canal wall.,.on thé river side was weaken- ' ed by the strain and the soaking it re- Ceived and gave way in three places. The first break appears to have occur- red in plane No. 10. The other two were at lock 11. The water released from the two levels of the canal rushed out upon the lower lying lands, sweeping all be- I fore it. Two small houses and several barns were carried from their founda- Outbuildings of small size were swept away in the flood and lost. D. W. Hagerty’s sawmill was exposed to the full force of the onrush of Waters and was carried away and washed into, the Delaware river. It is a complete The stone wall which ran between the ‘ canal and Hamlin’s creek was washed 0' out and most of the stones fell into the i canal. The canal is now filled with-the ; stones and mud which collected after- ward. The work of repair will take weeks, and the canal may not be fit for use again this season. The water had spent itself pretty well before it reached the. thickly settled por- tions, so that the damage was not as great as at first feared. The water, however, left behind it a vast amount of mud, which it carried out of the canal and which it picked up as it ran down the hillside. This mud was deposited in gardens and cellars, doing great damage. During the storm the barn of T. Heitz- man was struck by lightning and set on fire. It was destroyed with its contents, which" included the summer’s harvest of grain and hay. Three valuable horses were burned to death. It is impossible to estimate the total damage done by] the storm and flood. ' Furmers’ Congressito Meet.

CAIRO, Aug. 28.—In the course of his speech Saturday at the opening of the Atbara bridge, which was constructed by a Philadelphia firm after competition, with British firms for the "contract, the sirdar, Lord Kitchener of Khartum, said: “The construction of ' this magnificent bridge. I think, may fairly be considered a record achievement. So far as the .failure of the efiorts to place the con- struction order in England is concerned, I think it demonstrates that the relations between labor and capital there are not sufficient to give confidence to the capi- talist and to induce him to take the risk of establishing up to date workshops thdt would enable Great Britain to maintain her position as the first constructing na- tion in the world. But as Englishmen failed I am delighted that our cousins across. the Atlantic stepped in. " This bridge is due to their energy, ability and power to turn out works of magnitude in less time than anybody else. I congratu- late the Americans on their succeSs in ' the erection of a bridge in the heart of Africa. They have shown realegrit far from home, in the hottest menth of the year and depending upon the labor of foreigners.” ‘ Masons on Pike’s Peak.
