Brown Was shot twlcs In the head snd his physicians have no hope for his recovery. Brown's act In breaking Into Kots' house Is uncxplalnable, except on the ground of insanity. Brown was acting strangely in the early part of the evening and Is said to have been drinking quite heavily. Koti lives in a suburb remote from Brown's home and the. two men and their families were entirely unacquainted. About I o'clock this morning Kots heard a noise downstairs snd, getting Jhis revolver, went down to the drawing room, followed by his wife, carrying a lm light.

GREAT DAMAGE DCNE AT PHILADELPHIA Smaller Cities Along the Banks of Rivera Damaged aa Mack In Proportion Loss of Life Is Small. TATERSON, N. J., Oct. 11 With the waters of the Passaic river falling at the rate of an Inch an hour above the falls, and st double that rate below them, ap prehension of a further great disaster to the city from the flood has almost disappeared, the sole question being whether Spruce street hill, the narrow embnnkmcnt which holds the waters above the falls can contlnuo to withstand the strain until the river recedes to Us nor mal proportions. At the height of the flood, this hill, standing between the river basin ubove ,nc fnl18 tl,e ,owrr vMlc'' was "l''1" caving away into the gorge below the falls.

A dyke but little wider than the Spruce street roadway stood hctweoit the city and this disaster, but tonight it was hold ing Arm and the police feel reasonably sure of Its permanency. Below the falls a large part of the city, situated In tho valley on either side of the river, was still Inundated tonight, but the waters were receding rapidly, having fallen twenty-tight Inches from flood height at 6 p.m. Thousands of persons are temporarily homeless, most of them being recvlved at the houres of friends In the un flooded district, while 1.500 were sheltered tonight at the armory, fed and cared for by the organised charity of tho city. No assistance has lieen asked from outside and the city will look after Its destitute. Today muny persons who had remulned In their homes in tho flooded districts were removed and food was conveyed to those who remained, the Are department rigging up emergency lines from roof to roof with cars suspended thereon for this purpose. Loss Over Two Million. It will be impossible to closely estimate the loss until the flood subsides, but It will exceed $2,000,000. But three bridges and part of a fourth of the seven below the fulls remain and the cost to the county ' to' replace those destroyed will be at ' least 1600,000. Tho three bridges standing are on substantial concrete. They arc completely covered by water. Only three fatalities have been reported This r.fternoon seven men who had boon Imprisoned In Kearns Bros', dye house on the river margin since Friday without food, were rescued by Charles and Leopold Mutter In a small boat. The Mutter broth ers also saved Captain William .Clark and John Brcen of the fire department, who had been upset In ,n early attempt, at rescue. Three tugs were necessary to bring all to shore.

All day thousands of persons have lined the fulls cliffs watching the flood and the police have had great difficulty In keep- ing the crowd from encroaching on the danger line,. All day long boatmen have been at work rescuing people from the flooded districts. The suffering In the first and second wards has been Intense, as It was almost Impossible lo reach the residents here. Several hundred persons were removed from houses completely surrounded i.y the flood and ready to collapse st any moment. A dozen more of these housej later collapsed and floated 4 down tho stream. The damage to mill property is chiefly from the submersion of portions of th plants and great quantities of products. Thousands of men, women and children will be out of employment for a long tlmo and It seems altogether probable that this flood will' cause to the city of Pater son a greater direct loss of money and property than the Are nearly two years ago. The gross los then was ts.flno.oon, with an insurance of more than ti.hOO.'Mo. The loss today is estimated at consider ably more than 12,000,000. with no insur ance.

At that time there was considerable water In the boiler room of the Edison Electric Light station, there being only about four Inches of clear space between the grate bars and the water.

OBJECT LESSON IN HARMONY Democrats dominate Five for Mrhool Hoard Xor Lose st tingle Man. Blissful harmony prevailed throughout the democratic convention Saturday night in Jacksonlan hall, held for the purpose of nominating Ave candidates for the Board of Education. Not a man in the hall had to be carried out on a tttretcher. In fact, not one was even, temporarily dis abled. All, save the delegates from the Third ward, wero In the hall, able when I thc m"kf of,b"U!a hM C'uttr!d KWy' give an intelligent account of what had happened and the only reason the Third warders wers not thsre was that they walked out of ths hall In a body, because they happened to hold views which did not fully harmonise with those of the i t est of the 'delegates. .Hut then, harmony prevailed Just the ! ime--democfatlc harmony. It began about two minutes sfter the chairman called the i meeting to order. The only thing that kept it . from lasting until morning doubtless, was the fact that but about a dozen dele gates were present.

But suddenly one of ths delegates hap pened to lose control of himself and thought a thought. "What s the use to condemn the school board for discharging Miss Shirley for entertaining a friendly attitude toward democrats and democratic principles," shouted the man with the thought, "when part of the school board was democratic? That would never Vlo." But there were a few delegates present who wouldn't even subside at tills.

MUCH LAND IS RECLAIMED YEARLY Present Plnne Affect n Thonsand Acres nnd Will Make Homes for Twelve Thonsand Families. I (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. -(Special.) Mr. F. It. Newell, chief of the Division of Hy ilmgrauhy of the Geological Survey, has returned to Washington after a two months' visit to the arid and seml-srld otstes, where he went for the purpsse of personally investigating the different methods of irrigation nnd looking over sites that have been selected and are In progress of selection for reservoirs. Mr. Newell In summing up his sixty days In the west bus authorized the following statement: "It Is the purpose of the Geological Sur vey to examine two or three feasible sites for reservoirs In each of the thirteen states nnd territories with a view of picking out the nest site In the region affected by the recent irrigation law and pushing the same to completion. Already sites, have been agreed upon In Arlsona, Colorado, Idaho. Montana, Oregon snd Wyoming. The sites thus selected should reclaim 1.000.000 acres st a cost of tl2.000.000 snd mske homes for IS.SOO families, capable of supporting themselves and having a sur plus cf their products for sale. The people who will eettlo upon these lands are the best purchasers of manufactured articles In the United States and spend the largest amount per capita for transportation, both in passenger and freight traffic. With Water from Wyoming. "Western Nebraska has some of the best agricultural land In the country, which can be watered In part, . at least, by canals heading In Wyoming and supplied by water from large reservoirs to he con structed In that state. In fact eastern Wyoming and Western Nebraska . arc in separably Joined In any project for their general development. The reservoir sites, while located In Wyoming, will Irrigate much splendid land In Nebraska. In short. Wyoming will havo the reservoirs snd Ne- , braskarthe land. "The topography of Nebraska is wholly unsulted for reservoir sites, tha soil being porous I sanCy. We may And some plains basin similar to Greeley, Colp.. but It Is extremely jouhtful. It Is our' Inten tion to develop, the North' Platts river ssc tlon of thewoOntry'to Its fullest "extent" then we can find 'land enough upon which to use the water. "It is our intention to develop Nebraska j to the fullest extent and our engineers are ' already at work In western Nebraska sur veying the country and making maps show ing the depth of water, etc. These maps rot only show ths depth of the vrjtar, but the height to which It will rise and tn a general way give the probable quantity and quality of the water In the western half cf the state. Whilo the outlook for weif em Nebraska Is not good for any largo de velopment for deep waters becsuss most of the good water Is very deep and will not rise within several hundred feet ot thi surface except In valleys, tho development Is steady nnd more' lands subject to Irri gation are being reclaimed every yes:'. However, wherever there Is an opportunity to continue the work on the deep water question tho geological survey will sr.- ' deavor to develop them. Bis; Projects Hnrtcd. "The biggest of the projects already pret y thoroughly outlined which the Interior de partment will be railed upon to bul.d In the next few years include the one on tho Salt river in Arlsona, the flan Carlos river In , the same state being an alternative prop osition; the Truckee river In Nevada and the Big Gunnison tunnel In Colorado. The Colorado scheme Is the biggest undertak ing In the world at tha present time, the purpose of ths survey being to construct a tunnel through a mountain range, the tun nel being Ave miles long and twelve feet can operate at a time. Two parties w It start simultaneously, working toward each other, the maximum hsul being about to snd a half miles. In addition to thes; projects are ths Milk rivsr proposition in I northern Montana, which will show a plain j diversion of storsgs wsters, and ths North ' Platte in Wyoming, sometimes called the j Sweetwater project. It Is ths Intention of ths survey to commence work at tho mjuth of the Sweetwater, where a navigable sup ply of water can be secured ." Opening for Shrewd Men. Chief Newell, tti concluding his statement ",gned' wh,n'r u w"' b "cccssful or net depends entirely upon the administra tion. No strings ore tl'xl lp the appropria tion. While there are upward of tic.oon) already available tn the treasury for Irri- j gallon work my Idea Is that the amount available will run to the maximum and then drop off. I do not anticipate as mui h activity in the sals of public lands nest year as there haa been this year. Of course It will take a very largs number of men ta work out the severs) projects ws have In mind. These men will not be employed In Washington but In the field snd directly upon the work. Sectional houses will bo erected for the proper housing of ths men and they will stay with the work until completed, it Is tho Intention of ths survey to svold sn accumulation of ths clerical force. It will be our endeavor to get to gether a body of men wholly efficient and clcsn cut snd who have been selected through competitive civil service examina tions. Two examinations will be he'd each year, spring and full, snd young men who have completed their college courses and who purpose making engineering their life work will find congenial employment In ths survey, but when they do get In the sur.vey they must stsy by merit. Tb-M men must have some smattering of th law and somo business ability lu I or. Junction with thntr knowledge of engineering.
