Riley. Albany, Aug. 4.—State Superintend- ent of: Prisons John B. Riley knew nothing of the marriage of the Sing Sing prison convict yesterday until Governor Whitman also re- ineident. il fused to' discuss it. Should Be Rare, Says Miss Davis. Miss Katherine B. Davis, commis- sioner of correction, who was for more than ten years superintendent of the Bedford Reformatory for Girls and the first prison head to adopt the self- government plan, was not willing to discuss the marriage of the convict at Sing Sing. Miss Davis sald’ Warden Osborne told her that he was going to permit the marriage when she was at Sing Sing recently, “Marriages should be very rare in prisons,” was the only comment of Miss Davis, *and when they are al- lowed there ‘should always be. very special reasons for them.”, Suffragist Appl&udl Weddlns The wedding of a convict at Sing Sing was approved of by at least one suffragist. “I witnessed it myself,” said Mrs. Clarence Burns, president of the Lit- tle Mothers’ Aid association, “and it was one of the most touching things 1 ever saw. The convict has a little brother and sister, who would other- wise have been sent to an institution, and an old father. The girl in marry- ing him assumed legal care of the chil- dren and did a most upselfish thing. inforthed of it by a reporter. .

In the opinion of Mr. McHarg the: colonel made his statement well know-' ing that there is under way a move- ment for an informal. national con’ ference to which representatives of both the republicans and: progressives have been invited in the hope that their differences may be ¢ away before the ‘campaign of 1916. This movement, of which Mr. McHarg is the general director, is based on the proposition that the most import- ant thing in the world for both re- publicans and progressives is to de- together again.

Mr. McHarg asserted that certain Progrea: sive Jeaders are simply trying to display their trading stock, that is to say, the appearance of an exten- sive and cohesive organization which can be rattled loudly until somebody is scared into ‘believing that the progressives have something worth bargaining for, : “Those who voted the progressive ticket in 1912 said Mr. McHarg, “are men who think and act for themselves, ‘and they are continuing to think and act for themselves.

Alexander Leads Music At General Conference—Rev, Rob- ertson Delivers Bible Leécture. East Northfield, Mass., Aug. 4.— Daily song services in .charge of Charles M. Alexander are proving one of the most popular features of the General = Conference of Christian ‘Workers which is now in full swing at Northfield. Mr, Alexander who | has toured the world with the evang- elists Torrey and Chapman, was se- cured for the Conference at the last | minute through his inability to take a trip to England. He is leading the | singing at the two daily platform | meétings and conducting a personal work and song service every morning and a second song service at the close of the evening meetings. His suc- cess in bringing out the spirit of the hymns and getting evervone to join in the singing has given him a fore- most reputation among the leaders of religious singing. The Conference will continue through Sunday, August 15th. An- other daily part of the program, be- sides Mr. Alexander’s services is a series of, Bible lectures by Rev. A. T. Robertson of Louisville, Ky. Dr. Robertson is a leading Greek scholar and a speaker who brightens his lec- tures by his informal manner . and humorous comments. A series of lec- tures delivered at a previous Con-/ ference has been published. The at- tendance is increasing, and a series of famous speakers ar: addressing large audiencés at morning and eve- ning services and at Round Top. Among other speakers to be heard as the Conference progresses may be mentioned Rev, Charles E. Jefferson, D, D, pastor of Broadway Taberna- cle, New York city, Rev. Russell Cecil of Richmond, Virginia, Mr. Melvin Trotter, of Grand Rapids, Mich., Rev. Charles Inglis of London, Rev. Wil- liam Evans of Chicago, Rev. T. R.

The washing out of the main line of | lhe New York Centrei and the Penn- sylvania railroads stallea a dozen ~or . more trains here, with no prospect of iheir departure for a couple of days. Nearly Every Store Flooded. The rush of the water down State sireet flooded nearly every store on the thoroughfare and floating wreck- | ¢ge added to the damage by smask ing hundreds of display windows. Throughout the night the torrent of 1ain continued. Only the wide mouth | of the creek at the lake shore pre- | vented a much more serious devasta- | tion. Piles of debris on the streets intersecting the path of the flood were heaped up fifteen feet high in some cases and filth washed into homes Perhaps the greatesr damage. A dozen of the largest plants in the or two weeks until the inachinery in the first floors can be clared away. Firemen Prove Heroes, The story of firemen Sherry and Bates stood out among the scores of ueroic acts. Taking a women from her home on the creek bank, they started down the telephone pole which had enabled them to reach her, wheh th house fell against the pole and all ihree were swept into the swift current. A block fariner down, the trio were pulled from the stream’ by the almost superhuman efforts of cther firemen. Traffic Completely Tied Up. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 4—Traffic be- tween the east and the west over both the Lake Short and the Nickel Plate railroads was completely tied up from the time the cloudburst Pt go over Erie last night until 8 o’clock this morning, when officials of both roads reported that communication had been re-established with the west over temperary single tracks. Wash- outs, unprecedented in depth and ex- tent, and the loss of culverts and part_of one bridge through which a freight ' train crashed, it was" said, were the worst features of the prob- lem facing the operating offlicals. All four tracks of the Lake Shore and swept away between Erie and Moore- heads, the first station east. The washout on the Lake Shore covered about six miles of trackage. Trains that had passed through Buffalo west bound were recalled early today and sent over the Michigan Central Railroad’s Canadian line to Detroit. New York City Flooded. New York, Aug. 4.—Streets in New York city and its suburbs were turn- into yellow rivers, surface and elevated trafic was badly crippled, work, trees uprooted and hundreds of cellars flooded in a torrential down- pour that broke over the Metropoli- tan section this afternoon to the ac- companiment of a sixty mile gale. Nearly three inches of rain fell in | where in New England four .hours at Sandy Hook, where a | southeaster lashed the ocean into | fury, Vessels were held up at the harbor entrance, and during the ;| height of the gale a small schooner, | | ! the M. V. B. Chase, from Cheverie,i N. 8., to Norfolk with plaster, sur- land lightship and found the bottom, Her captain — Tuttle, and E. Martin, a Swedish sailor, were drown- ed. Captain Tuttle’s body, lashed to the boat, adrift somewhere off the coast, was sought by coast guards, who rescued the other four members of the crew, New Jersey Hard Hit. | Along the northern coast of New Jersey the gale did damage difficult to estimate. Seabright, swept by the | ocean three times within 18 months, | was battered again. Along the line | of railroad which runs from the town | shore at Sandy Hook, the rollers leaped the bulkhead and flooded the tracks, effectually tieing up traffic. ! In a dozen parts of New York and | Brooklyn the streets lay under water from two to three feet deep. Ja- | maica Avenue, Brooklyn, was impass- able for two and one-half miles. The worst stage. The excavation was ! filled by the flood, in some places six feet deep. Tent Colony Broken ¥Yp. From Coney Island and Seagate, where there is a large tent colony, there came reports of wholesale level- ling of tents and a general tie-up in transit facilities. No fatalities were reported from any section of the Met- ropolitan district, with the exception of the sinking of the M. V. B. Chase. Fifteen trolley lines in Broaklyn and as many more in Manhattan, it was estimated, were stalled by the flood: In Newark, N. J, a street caved. in above a broken sewer. Two hundred yachts or thereabouts which started yesterday in the New | York Yacht Club’s cruise from New London, Conn., tugged at their an- <¢hors jn heavy, tumbling seas at New- port, R. 1. today, fearful to con- tinue the criuse. A forty mile gale was sweeping the water front there and it looked as if the race for the Astor cups, down on today's program, would have to be called off. Turns To Steady Drizzle, | For more than' thirty hours New ' York had been water soaked when | the heavy rain began about 3 a. m., teday. Within four hours thereafter the rainfall totalled one and one-half inches in the city. At Sandy Hook, the total was 2.72 inches. Shortly | m., the storm taper réinfall ceased and in its Mwm came & steady drizzle. Heavy' Do-poqr In This State.
