occurrence Of tie day. A very worthy

and presented me with letters OF recon.
mendation from two well.known business
men Of our city, asking me to use my in.

In Washington TO procure work for the

gentleman deserving, skilled In his
trade, and not without some claim upon
the government he had helped to pro.

active service in the army. /, therefore,
accompanied him to the heads OF the de.

be given him. We were as respectfully
but positively informed that 1t was an ut

ployment, and was now penniless and

funds TO return him TO his home were sup
piled. Ihope 10 perform my full measure

As far as could be learned no serious
damage had occurred along this river up
10 nine o'clock last night. A part OF the
track OF the new P. & L. Z. Railroad, along
the south bank, was submerged, but as
trains had not commenced to run on that
road, very little Inconvenience will be oc-
casioned. At the Smithtiold street bridge
the ties on the trestle arc submerged to
the extent OF over foot, and the big cut
through the large bank OF cinders which
required the services Of a large force Of
laborers TO accomplish recently, has been
so materially washed away by the over
whelming current OF the river that 1t Is
beyond repair. All along tho river bank
on the South Side the buildings arc more
or less inundated. In the vicinity Of the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, the
greater portion OF the piles lately driven
are completely under the water In some
places, and in others it win require but a,
small rise in the present stage TO entirely
submergs them. Considerable timber
that had been PLACED in the vicinity for
immediate use, has been washed away.

!
At midnight reporter visited the ,. &
o. Railroad depot to ascertain Il any dam.
age had been done along the line of the
Pittsburgh and Connellsville road by the
rise in the hIononghela and Yopghioghony
rivers and their tributaries. Tho operator
In the office OF the Master OF Transports
ton reported the track clear all the way
To Cumberland. Neither the Youghlogh.
ney nor its tributaries, he said, had been
very high, and no damage worth speaking
about had occurred. The streams over
which run the tracks Of the Fayette
county branch OF the pittsburgh h Com
nellsville and the Southern Pennsylvania
roads-Dunbar aud Redstone ereeks-.had
not risen over their banks In many places,
and therefore we have no damage to re-
port in that direction. r
Al two o'clock this morning the Mon
ongahela was falling slowly, with two
inches less than q feet by the marks at
the foot OF Wood street. There was no
rise after nine o'clock last night, the river
remaining stationary from that time until
twelve o'clock, when 1t began to recede
slowly.
At midnight the Allegheny had reached
a height of % feet, and was rising very
slowly. The cellars Of all the houses on
River avenue, Allegheny, were filled with
water, but the people had anticipated the
flood and prepared for It by removing
their goods TO the upper stories, so that the
damage over there is tritiing.

THE ALLEGHENY,

As already stated, the water had reached
a height OF q feet at nine o'clock last night.
The current was very strong, and large
trees and other driitwood In great GhuRd-
ance, was rushing past the Sixth street sus.
pension bridge, The Penn Cotton Mill
was compelled TO stop on account Of the
DIT filling with water, and the Eagle mill
soon followed suit, the water backing up
tho sewer. Bradley's wooden mill was al
most submerged, and tho Exposition
building surrounded bywator. Just above
the railroad bridge River avenue was GOV.
cred and the cellars In that locality flooded
for full square. In tho vicinity OF Kept
& Voegtly's saw mill, above the Mechanic
street bridge, the street, sidewalk and
board yard were inundated, and the saw
mill Is stopped, The mill is accessible
only by sLitS. The water was RAPIDLY ap.
preaching tho Standard Manufacturing
Company's building on Madison avenue,
and everything was moved out OF the low
or story In anticipation OF tho treshet. At
McFadden street there was a depth oil two
feet on the street, and nearly opposite
Iterr's Island the street was covered. The
head OF Herr's Island was hidden from
sight, and oil but tho highest points were
under water. At all OF the points whore
River avenue was submerged, the cellars
OF private residences were filed. At vii.
low Grove station. on the West Penn road,
the Paint Works buildings are cut off from
the land by water, and are in danger, as
they are upon timbers. Tho bridge at
Pine Creek Is only afew feet above water,
and as It scarcely ever escapes damage In
times OF flood, 1t will likely be injured.

Susceptible Language.

The major and myself had just been
about old times, and towards
the close Of our chat We had occasion to
laugh at court report which our friend
Endicott had put into our hands. Among
the papers was the return of o deputy
sheriff of Norfolk County, upon the
back of writ which he had been called
upon to serve. Thus read the truthful
deputy's return:
IL further certify that said J w
did willfully and maliciously OBJ
struct me in the performance of my duties.
He called me an ass; a dolt; an idiot; a
scouHdrel; aud declared that l would
steal the coppers from my dead fathers
eyes, all of which do positively, though
with pain, certify to be true"
If that return was read aloud in court,
it must have caused something more
audible than a simple smile.
Endicott's papers reminded me OF the
enterprising farmer and ockraiser, who
wrote letter of thanks to the editor OF
an agricultural paper for his efforts in
behalf of their society, and also thanks
for having introduced new and improved
varieties Of swine and sheep. The edi-
tor had been absent from an agricultural
fair of which our farmer had been man
ager, and the latter wrote TO him, in part,
as follows:
DEAR AND RESPECTED SIR wa. sor-
ry not to rec you at our fair. Some grand
hogs of exactly your own species were
on exhibition. Also. saw "a big, long
wooded buck of yo@ kind to dot. In
short. where there was such variety of
domestic beasts, must say, was sur
prised at not seeing you present!'-C,,

Cleopatra's Needle.

The obelisk which for years has gone
by the name of Cleopatra's Needle does
not deserve its name, as it never had any
thing to do with that fascinating but de-
structive queen. 1t was erected at He'll
opelis by an Egyptian monarch, sup
posed by many to be identical With the
scriptural Pharaoh, about 1900 b. G. 1t
was removed to Alexandi ia distance
of about eight hundred miles-probably
during the reign OF the CAESARS at Rome.
1t is now on its way to England by Il
novel method of transport; that is, 1t Is
enclosed in an iron cylinder, alright,
wedged- shaped at both ends, and towed
behind steamer. The cylinder draws
from eight to ten feet of water, and has
wings, or rather fins, on each side to
keep it from rolling over. The Needle
is SIXTY nine feet long and eight feet
sauare-not uniformly, but at the base.
IL weighs about two hundred and
twenty tons. There appears to be but
little doubt felt as to the safety of the
means of transit to England, and the at
tention of the Lnndoneis is almost
wholly engrOssed by the question where
the obeisk can be set up 10 the best adj
vantage. With their proverbial caution
about these matters, they have gone SO
tar as to put up temporary models in one
or two places, IN order to judge of the
effect on beholders of the three thou
sand four hundred year old relic when it
gets along.-Tribune.

LUCKY FRIGHT OF A HORSE. - We
should not usually consider it Il recon.
mendation of horse that he could easily
be frightened. But in the instance re-
lated by the Wyandot (Ohio) Times, as
follows, the fright of a horse was very
fortunate: LAST Wednesday evening
John wager came to Carey with his
horse and buggy. Alput eight O'Clock
he started home. Wien he arrived at
Dry Run Bridge he was confronted by u
man Who called out Halt! MIR. Wager
stopped his horse, and MS be did so two
other men approached from the roadside
ana went toward the lorse's head. Ihis
alarmed Mr.. Wager ati scared his horse
so that it ran away 10 great speed, much
to the Disappointment Of the foot-pads,
who fired at Mr.. Yage, the ball passing
through one Of the Curtains of the buggy
and near his breast"

A CURIOUS WA0ER.-Perhaps one of
the most curious wa9ers on record is one
that was made by two sporting men in
January, 1927. One of the above bet
twenty pounds to ten that of the first
thirty men who should pass shop in
which they were to station themselves,
twenty ould have at least one hand in the
breeches or coat pocket, and that fifteen
would have both hands so placed. New
street, CJvent Garden, London, was Sc
lected for the place of scrunity, as, from
its having au extremely narrow footpath,
and being very public thoroughfare, it
would afford the best example of the in
convenience of this prevalent custom.
The result of the examination was that
of the first thirty men who passed eigh-
teen had both hands in their pockets, and
five others had one hand 20 situated, the
proposer of the wager thus winning it
