MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, April 6.-The
rain which has been falling necessarily for
the past twenty-tour hours nOwa shows
signs Of abating. A number of the coll
lieries were about to resume work, but this

PITTSBURG'S PERIL.
PITTsBURG, April 6.-The rivers are
still rising at all points between this city
and the headwaters. The water is now
nearing the danger line, but is not expected
to reach height that will do any serious
damage. At IL O'clock tonight there were
twenty-three feet in the MOnOngahela and
twenty-five and one-half feet in the Allie
gheny. Both rivers were rising about three
inches an hour. The twenty-seven-foo
mark may be reached, but the water will
not likely go any higher. The lower por-
ton OF Allegheny, on the fats of the South
side, is inundated. and people living in the
threatened districts have made all prepara-
tiOns for hasty departure. The weather
is cloudy. No rain has fallen since morn
ing. The railroads are all running.

farCln a p 1In 10 Rirrinf
tinueS. Similar reports are received from
points above and with heavy rise at Pitts
burg it is feared that disastrous flood
would enSue. The river is fifty-fOur feet
two inches at 10 O'Clock tonight and sta
tiOnary, but it is rising 100 miles above and
there will undoubtedly be rise here by to-
morrow. The only hope is for sudden
fall in temperature, for, should the enOr-
nous fall of snow melt, there is no telling
when the rise would cease.
