PITTsRURa, February 7.-Indications point

by tomorrow morning.
THE FLOOD COMING.
IL O'Clock P.M.-From present indications
this section will be visited before morning
with the greatest food for fifty years. All
day yesterday and last night the rain fell In
torrents at all points along the Monongahela
valley, the record showing total rainfall of
one and half inches. This melted and
carried of the snow on the mount7ins, and
soon the creeks and streams at the head
waters were converted into small rivers, and
pouring their volumes OF water into the
Monongahela. Early this morning came
report from points above of a booming
river, but not until noon was there any rise
here. The river commenced swelling at
that hour, and has since been rising rapidly.
Dispatches from Morgantown, w. Va,
Greensboro and Brownsville, Pa, and other
towns along the banks, report the
water still rising at the rate of six
10 eighteen inches per hour. Many places
are already partially submerged, and
great destruction of property is reported. At
this point there was twenty-five feet at 10

GAY DECEIvERS.

A YOUNG WOMAN ATTEMPTS TO PERFoRATK
THE ANATOMY OF A MILITIAMAN.
NEW YORK, February THE Twenty
second Regiment has again become notori-
GUS by the attempt of a young woman
named Lottie Rowe TO kill Lieut.. George E.
B. Hart. The shooting occurred near the
armory on Fourteenth street, where she met
Hart by appointment. When they met she
drew a revolver and fred. He turned and
ran and she followed, discharging the four
remaining cartridges as fast as possible.
She was arrested, and gave her age as nine
teen. The past summer, when the regiment
returned from Davenport, the woman fell in
love with member, whose name she re-
fused to give. He accomplished her ruin
and deserted her. Hart, whom she had
known from childhood, besought her to live
with him. She did so until about two weeks
ago, when he, too, deserted her. She had no
money, and was 30 maddened at the thought
of losing him that she determined to kill him.
Later.-Lottie Rowe, the young woman
who attempted to assassinate Lieut.. Hart,
was arraigned to-day. No complainant ap-
peared, and she was fined for carrying pis-
toll and bound over to keep the peace. A
medical examination is to be made as to her

when Marshal Costing telegraphed the gov

rested If the State would pay an additional
5000. The authorities were thereby in
duced to offer the additional reward. The
reward was offered fer his capture and safe
delivery in Nashville. 1t is insisted that as
Polk was already prisoner when the last
reward was offered, the offer should be con-
strued to be for the return OF Polk to this
State, and, as they brought him back, the
money is theirs. 1t is also said that Marshal
Gosling had no papers to bring Polk here,

virtue of these papers. The payment of the

A BRILLIANT WEDDIN0-THE PRESIDENTS
RECEPTION TO ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS.
WAsHINeToN, February 7.-Miss Mary
Walker Brewster, daughter of the Attorney
General, was married last night at Epiphany
Episcopal church, in this city, to Robert J.
Rooms, Of Philadelphia. There were ten
bridesmaids, one of them the daughter of
Senator Miller, of California, ten ushers and
best man for the groom. The large church
was filed with invited guests, including
President Arthur and many other persons Of
high position in the official and social life
of Washington, aud the wedding reception
was held soon afterward at the residence of
the brides parents. A large proportion of
the Diplomatic Corps and most of the army
and navy officers, who subsequently attended
the President's special reception, were pres
emit at this wedding, and their official cos
TUNES made the scene uncommonly brilliant.
The President's carriage, while he and his
daughter were on their way to the church,
was run into by carriage in the
rear, and the pole Of the latter
broke through panel but did not
strike either of the occupants. On his re-
turn frsm church, however, the wheels of the
Presidents carriage became locked with
those of several others, and finding that his
alrady damaged vehicle could not be extri-
GATED without long delay, the President
abandoned it and walked home with his
daughter through the rain. The occurrence
created some excitement and gave rise to a
number of alarming rumors as to the Presi-
dsnt,s ssfefv

tion can be drawn from the bright
testimony she has left of a Home of
bliss and Joy which she has reached.
The lettering form that last on earth
we beheld is now one of youthful
symmetry. The marble face has turn
ed to one filled with expressions of
peace and happiness. The lusterless
eyes that caught their last glance from
her stricken family have been ex-
changed for orbs of radiant hope and
joy. With Gods garnered hosts she
dwells. Laurels imperishable now
deck her sainted brow. Earthly cares
and woes can never Cypress her more.
The touch of pain that disturbed the
midnight repose will never visit her
again. Though attached to her friends
she has severed her earthly ties and
resigned herself to the care of a
Friend who has the power to estab-
lish her in mansions of joy and peace |;
there to await the coming of those
she left and loved on earth.
'Scenes seraphic high and glorious,
Now forbid her longer stay;
See her rise DER death victorious
Angels beckon her away.
Hark the golden harps are ringing!
Sounds unearthly fill her ear:
Millions now in heaven singing,
Greet her joyful entrance there"
