M. to-day the official guage showed 9,90 inches of rain. The heaviest previous fall in this city was on Sept. 23, 1882, when the record showed 6.17 inches for twenty- four hours. For the same period of time during the present storm 8.74 inches fell. The heaviest rain was between 8.50 and-9.18 to-day, when «£5 of in inch was registered. Forecaster Emery has the politeness to say that about sunrise to- morrow will find the storm dispelled, but until that time we shall have the tail end of the Virginia storm which came so hard upon the one that flooded the city to-day that a separation exists only in the minds of the Scientists. For the rest of the day we will have high northerly winds, shifting to northwest. Then the clouds blow away and fair weather once more be with us—so says the official prophet. The deluge of rain that began to fall in this city and vicinity last evening and continued through the night and to-day is the most. disas- trous and extraordinary known in the history of New York. ~The rain gauge at the Weather Bureau had reached its capacity when 6.43 inches were recorded to-day anc it was still raining hard. ‘other Jchnstown the torrent raged down through the Ramapo, sweeping houses and bridges before it, stepping the big sicel mills and making pos- sible many beroic rescues of life. The tracks of the railroads running into the city were covered in , many places with from two to three feet of water, stopping all trains, be- cause the flood put out the fires in the engines. Suburbanites were tied uj in their homes or stalled on tite railroads leading into the city. Again the New York Central tunnel was the scene of stalled trains, it pein) estimated that more than a thousand passengers were held prisoners In the tunnel at one time. a Gemeteries were flonded and the torrents washed the bodies of the dead from their graves. «The entire water front of New York was deluged, the seas shipping far over (xe Battery walls and the tide and rain filling cella on the Jersey y, Hoboken, Manhattan and Brooklyn water. fronts.

BROTHERS, IN SUICIDE PACT, They Place Deadly Drug in Drink and Become Unconscious—Physicians Puzzled at Failure to Restore Them. The Brooklyn police have a poison mystery that has every appearance of being a suicide pact between brothers in two young men who were taken to St. Mary's Hospital unconscious and, so far as the physicians of the hospital can learn, suffering from some deadly narcotic. These two young men, wi took enough alike to be twins, walked into Richard Meyer's saloon, at No. 73 Sche- nectady avenue, Brooklyn, this after- noon and ordered and drank two glasses of beer. Then they walked to a back room of the saloon and sat down. A half-hour later a bartender noticed that the two young men seemed to be asleep. He shook them. They continued to sleep. He shook them to-ently, ‘Then as his efforts failed to have any effect upon thelr torpor he became frightened and summonedta poltceman, who called an ambulance from Bt.

LOUIS. MORRIS PARK RACE TRACK, Oct. 9.—John J. Ryan, of get-rich- quick fame, was ordered to appear before the stewards of the Jockey Club after the racing to-day and show cause why he should not be kept off the race tracks in the East. Ryan just returned from the West for several days, where he has besn on business, and as eoon as he made his appearance at the track to-day re- ceived word from the stewards that he was wanted for e hearing. When the horse the Fidler, which won last Saturday as big odds, was supposed to be a ringer, #t was said that Ryan had gone West to play the horse. He denied to-day that he had played the horse, and stated that he had been in the West to look after some bui connected with the building of a big office building in Cincnnat.

But Mr, Nixon and Mr. Dresser agreed with Harris, Gates & Co. and Charles M. Schwab that they would not sell Shipbuilding stock until Mr, Morgan's 50,000 shares and Mr. Schwab's 150,000 shares had been sold and disposed of. It will be hard work to make Wall street believe that the Morgan firm did not know about and coincide with thi Nor will Wall street belleve with facility that the Morgan firm did not that Mr. Nixon and Mr. Dresser were obligating themselves to tie up i holdings of the stock in a trust until the Morgan and Schwab shares bad been “sold and disposed of.” It wil! be noted in the final paragraph of the agreement that Harris, Gates & Co. bound themselves to get as much more than $65 for the pre~ ferred and $25 for the common as they could. THREATS MADE AGAINST DRESSER. That there are persons who fear the revelations of Daniel Le Roy Dresser about the formation ana wrecking of tho United States Shipbuilding Company is shown by threats that have been made to him for some time past that he would be criminally prosecuted if he persisted in telling all he knew. Those threats have beer. made at various times for weeks past. A» man in position to know told’ The Evening World this afternoon that they came from sources high In the financial world, The part that Morgan & Co. played in the formation of the trust, a@ described by Mr. Dresser on the stand, is confirmed by Charles G. Gates, te whom was intrusted the job of selling the Mor.an and Schwab stock. Mi. Gates said to-day that there was a private agreement between the Morgan firm and Schwab and the Shipbuilding Trust promoters that the Morgan and Schwab stock was to be sold before any other stock was put on the market: “T have a copy of the agreement,” saif Mr. Gates. “It is on the 2 that Mr. Dresser, under oath, testified to the agreement.” pee No trace can be found of Charles M. Schwab, although a horde, process-servers are hunting him. It was said at his office to-day that ‘:t of town, but no one would tell where he, is. ‘The most complete exposure of the inside methods of the financial kings 4 Wall street ever made has grown out of the wreck of the Shipbuilding Trust. terest in the matter continues unabated.
