Summer Resorts Wrecked and Mil
lions o f Dollars Damage Done
—Snow Breaks Record.
New York—Two men drowned in
East River and ten men— the crews
of two barges wrecked on the New
Jersey coast, given up as lost—is the
cost in human lives of the storm
which swept over this city and this
vicinity early Saturday.
At Seabright, N. J., a fashionable
summer resort 30 miles south of here,
most of the houses have been either
wrecked or are under water. Several
hotels and fine residences were among
those undermined and badly damaged.
Seventy families are homeless.
The damage done to property is es
timated at $1,000,000, most of it
borne by Seabright and other points
along the northern section of the New
Jersey coast.
Most o f the damaj^
was due to bulkheads giving way un
der the onslaught o f waves lashed into
fury by a gale which at one time
reached a velocity o f 90 miles an hour.
The two three-masted barges whose
crews hftve been given up as lost were
in tow o f the seagoing tug Edgar F.
Luckenbach. While the storm was at
its worst the barges broke away and
then drifted inshore midway between
the lifesaving stations 15 and 16, six
miles south of Seaside Park, N. J.
Only the masts o f one o f the barges
was visible next morning and on it
was the form of a man.
Both mast
and man soon disappeared.
Much damage has been done to the
pound net fishing along the New Jer
sey coast for some distance south from
Sandy Hook.
The estimated loss to
the various plants in $100,000.
At
Arverne the water swept in so far
that cottages were flooded and the
owners were forced to move out.
Bulkheads were smashed, tons of
lumber were washed up on the beach
and other damage was caused by the
storm which raged around Atlantic
City. The five miles o f meadows be
tween the city and the mainland re
sembled a turbulent sea.
A heavy snow fell in depths varying
from five to 18 inches throughout this
part o f the state.
In this city about five inches fell,
but the record mark was set in White
hall and 14 inches fell in Glenns Falls.

400 Operators Dismissed.
u
Springfield, Mo.— In anticipation of
the strike o f 1100 te'egraphers em
ployed on its lines, the St. Louis &
San Francisco railroad Sunday laid off
indefinitely 400 telegraphers and be
gan to transform its telegraph lines
into a telephone system of railroad
communication.
This action disclosed the company’s
plans for resisting the strike, to the
amazement of the telegraphers, ship
pers and railroad circles in general.
Removal of all telegraphic instru
ments from the company's offices be
gan Sunday. It is said this is the first
time such a transposition o f the use of
the wires has been made by a railroad
to avert a strike.
Among those who will leave the
service of the Frisco are many who
were to present the demands of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers at a
conference with the receivers of the
road.
At noon 24 special trains, consisting
o f an engine and caboose, went out on
the Frisco lines with right o f way
over all trains except passengers. The
crew of each train removed the in
struments from every station it passed
and joined the telegraph wires at
every mile.
Thus 12,000 miles of
railroad telegraph were converted into
a telephone circuit.
Many points on the system were
without telegraphic communication
temporarily. Telephone operators will
replace the telegraphers. The threat
ened strike will be forestalled by what
practically amounts to a lockout, and
it is said by some Frisco officials here
that the conference between the tele
graphers and the receivers may not be
held at all.
According to E. G. Levy, general
’ manager of the road, every five miles
of the Frisco’s wires will be guarded
by a man day and night.
At all
points where it is necessary to give
orders, he said, a deputy United States
marshal will be on duty to protect the
telephone operator.
Gatun Spillway Used
to Regulate Lake Level
Panama— Gatun spillway, which re
gulates the levels o f Gatun lake, was
opened Monday for the first tinffe since
June 27. During the elapsed period
the water had risen from 48.25 to 84.7
feet above sea level.
While the max
imum level the lake can attain is 87
feet, the water will not be allowed to
go any higher at present because the
diking of the low ridges forming the
rim o f the lake basin has not been
completed.
It is planned to open one gate o f the
spillway for an hour or so each day to
keep the water at the existing level.
This process is to be utilized to rid the
lake of the vast masses of swamp veg
etation, commonly known as floating
islands.

W here the Farm Hand Balked.
Sam had worked on the farm for
nine years, and until his master took
to poultry farming he was quit* sat
isfied with life.
Hut this poultry business was a bit
too much. He had to take the eggs as
they were laid and write the date on
them with an indelible pencil. And
worse than that, he had also to write
on the eggs the breed of the hen that
laid them.
So one day he marched up to the
farmer.
“ I'm about fed up,” he said, ”*nd
I’m going to leave!”
The farmer was astonished.
“ Surely, Sam,” said he, “ you are not
going to leave me after all these
years?”
“ Yes, but I am,” retorted Sam. “I’ve
done every kind of rotten job on thla
here farm, but I’d rather starve than
go on being secretary of your old
hens.”— Answers, London.

Modern A rtific ia l Teeth.
Until a little more than a century
ago humanity had to rub along with
out false teeth, of which nowadays
one firm alone sells more than 12,000,-
000 a year. One of the first success
ful makers was Glussepangelo Fonzl,
an Italian dentist, who begnn practice
In Paris In 1798, and, thanks to his
skillful treatment of Luclen Bona
parte, soon made his way. After years
of experiment he discovered the sub
stance from which artificial teeth are
made and received the gold medal of
the French Academy of Science. One
of the earliest persons fitted with
false teeth was the Empress of Russia.
After Waterloo Fonzl emigrated to
London and then to Madrid, where
Ferdlnnnd VII rewarded him with a
yearly pension of 1000 ducats for a
set of false teeth.—London Echo.
