tire western portion Of the city was
flooded, seven bridges swept away, and
q large lot of other property destroyed.
Owing 10 the efficiency and industry
OF the fre department, the entire pop.
ulation OF the district devastated was
aroused in time to escape, and It is
now believed that no lives have been
lost in this city other than that Of an
unknown man, whose body was found

been asleep. The food involved sew

The Pennsylvania Democratic plat
form has the true ring on the financial
question. Ii the Democratic party had
taken the stand years ago that the
Pennsylvania Democrats took yester.
day on this vital question, it would
have been much better for the party
and ten.fold better for the people. Re-
publican financial mismanagement has
caused trouble in this country that can
mot be estimated. We trust the Dem.
oCrats will carry Pennsylvania by such
a majority that no one will be able TO
doubt the significance of the victory.
