DISASTROUS FLOOD!
APPALLING LOSS OF LIFE.
Many Bodies Recovered.

Pittsburg, q. A heavy rain to-day occa-
stoned a disastrous flood in various portions
of this State. The loss of life is appalling.
Thirty eight bodies have been recovered in
Butchers Run district, in Allegheny City, and
as many persons more are missing who are
supposed to have been lost. The havoc at
Woods Run is fearful. The place was
perfect sheet of water. Nine bodies have
been, recovered there thus far, and five or six
persons are still missing. On the south side
in Saw Mill Run district, eight bodies
were recovered, and 81 persons are missing.
A whole block of buildings was swept away
in that district, and fifty persons persisted in
the flood there. For more than a mile out on
Spring Garden Avenue in Allegheny city the
marks of destruction are everywhere seen.
The houses are thrown together in a heap.
Some % or 80 slaughter houses on the avenue
were washed away; many buildings that were
not totally destroyed are seriously damaged.
The water rising to the height of fifteen feet
flooded the first floors of all the houses, and
in many places the second stories. Several
houses were swept into the middle of the
street, and others carried of hundreds of
yards and shatteredSto pieces. A house con-
tanning two OF three families, at the rear of
Center street. was destroyed and it is supposed
all the inmates were drowned. In Temper
anceville and Saw-mill Run the elements
made sad havoc. The fierce torrents of rain
swelled every little tributary of Saw. mill Run
into boiling stream, and the accommodating
waters rushed with irresistible fury down the
valley, sweeping everything in its course.
The track of devastation is marked by the
wreck of buildings and bridges, immense
heaps of stone, large piles of drifs-wood, and
the torn and ragged sides of hills where the
waters surged and gnawed into their very vi
tails Seven lifeless bodies have already been
found and from 25 to 80 persons ale missing.

Meeting Of the Committee.

New York, 27. The Beecher investigating
committee resumed its session this evening
with closed doors. Shortly after the COM
mittee assembled, Gen. Tracy entered the
house, followed after brief interval by three
gentlemen whose names could not be ascer-
tanned, but who were examined by the COM
mttee. A member of this body in converse
ton after the adjournment of the committee,
said that evidence given by these witnesses
was unimportant; the session of the commit
tee was likely to be prolonged as many wit
nesses whose testimony is required, are absent
from the city, and the proceedings will neces-
sarily be delayed until their return. Mr..
Beecher's detailed statement is not yet ready
for the committee, but it is believed it will be
submitted in day or two.

Mrs. Ruth, the wife of Mr.. Joseph Ruth,
living in this city, near the gas works, com.
mitted suicide on Saturday, by taking an
overdose of laudanum. The act was premedi-
tated. The secret was kept from the other
members of the family. Mrs. Ruth was found
in a dying condition, and near her was the
empty bottle that had contained the fatal
dose, and beside it a note Of farewell from
the lady to husband and friends, and saying
that she desired to live no longer. A ply
sician was called, but the lady was past all
help, and died early in the evening. 1t is
supposed that the poison was taken
about three o'clock in the afternoon. She
took about two ounces of the laudanum. She
had no children, and we understand was Mr..
Ruths third wife. 1t was reported that she
had been abused by her husband, and that led
her to commit the deed, but there were no
signs of abuse about her person, and Coro-
ner's inquest was deemed unnecessary. The
lady was about 80 years of age.
