said the indications pointed To about such

Floods i'm PennsyIyania.

EMPORIUM, Pa, Jan. 4.-Heavy rains
for the past two days and large quantities
of snow on the timbered hills have con-
spired to produce the most violent floods
known in many years along the Drlftwood
and Sennamahoning creeks. Millions of
logs have broken from their fastenings and
are going down the swollen rivers at ter
rife rate. 1t is said the loss to lumbermen
will approach SO, 900. 600. At Bradford there
is over two feet OF water in many
Of the streets. Reports from Cameron
state that the greater part of that town is
under water, and the residents are in great
fear lest their houses be swept away.
Many residences had TO be vacated. A
million feet of logs were torn loose and
swept down Hunts Run. Saw mills and
dams in various places along the creeks are
in imminent danger of being carried away.
This is night of great anxiety through the
valley.

A BRAVE ENGINEER
Saves by His Readiness n Hallway
Train From Destruction.
Special to the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. Passenger
train No. 40 from the South, Richmond,
Washington and New York, due here at l
o'clock a. IN, made very narrow escape
this morning at o'clock from plunging
through trestle bridge, two miles below
Rocky Mount, station on the Wilmington
d. Weldon railroad. When the train
reached within ten or fifteen yards of the
trestle the engineer discovered that it was
on fire and portion of it had been burned
and the rails only left standing. Seeing
the danger staring him in the face and
knowing it would be impossible for him to
stop the train before reaching the trestle,
he brayely remained in the cab,
although conscious that if the train went
through the trestle, he would be either
killed or seriously injured as well as all the
passengers. AS quick as flash the thought
occurred to the brave engineer that the best
way to avoid the impending accident was
for the entire train to pass over that portion
of the bridge which had been burned as
rapidly as possible. He at once pulled
wide open the valve of the locomotive and
passed over the bridge at the rate of sixty
miles an hour, but SO great was the concus-
sion that followed that one of the cars
broke from the coupling and all the lights
in the coaches were eXtinguished. The
passengers were all badly shaken up and
frightened. The train was delayed an
hour ON its arrival here.

CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAM.
The Work Already Mapped ont for
the New Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The most inter-
esting and important feature of the present
week in the house of representatives will be,
of course, the announcement of the mem
bership of the various committees which
will formulate the work to be done by the
Forty-ninth congress. Throughout the
holiday recess Speaker Carlisle has been
buSily engaged in forming the committees
and to-day he occupied one of the rooms at
the capital and denied himself to all callers
and devoted himself to the completion of
his task. Unless something unforeseen
should happen. the result of his laborS will
be announced to the house tomorrow, i'm
mediately after the reading of the journal.
Then, in obedience to the order of the
house, the call of states for the introduc-
ton of bills and resolutions will be resumed
at the point where it was interrupted by the
adjournment for the holidays. The call
will, probably. not be completed till late
Wednesday afternoon. The 1,004 bills in
troduced the day before the recess were in
troduced by eighty-nine members, an aver
age of over eleven bills to each representa-
tive. Should this average be kept up, nearly
1000 additional measures will be referred
on Tuesday and Wednesday to the newly
appointed committees. The house preSi-
dental succession bill remains on the speak
er's table, and though an attempt may be
made to pass it by unanimous consent, il
will. in all likelihood, be referred to the
committee having jurisdiction over its sub
feet matter. Should this be done the house
, will find itself on Thursday without any
business before it and an adjournment till
Monday will probably be taken to enable
the committees to organize and to report
proposed legislation.
The bill to fix the salaries of judges of
district courts and the resolution of inquiry
with regard to the action of the authorities
of Dakota are unfinished business in the
senate. The committees of the body are
expected to begin work in earnest during
the week, and it is expected that not much
legislative work will be undertaken in the
senate other than the consideration of the
I two measures named. Probably a large
| part of the time of the senate will be spent
with closed doors in an endeavOr to dispose
, of the great number of accumulated nomi-
nations.

Designing Woman in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Oficer Fitzgerald,
when passing disreputable house and low
saloon on South Clark street yesterday, OBJ
served two little girls in the place. He
questioned the woman who appeared to be
the keeper rs to the ages of them and was
told they were both over IS. But when
the officer questioned the girls they admitted
they were only Is aud Il, respecti vely, and
had been inmates of the house for over
two weeks. The inmates were arrested
and taken to the armOry. The little girls
belong TO respectable families and are not
booked. Their names are Lizzie Mcintyre
and Jennie Leon. The formers parents
live at 81 Western avenue and the latter's
home is at the corner of Ashland and DeX-
ter avenues. They told pitiful tale about
the hardships of cash girls life. For a
year they had been employed in different
downtown dry goods stores. Their life
was anything but sunshine. and becoming
tired of the drudgery from morning till
night, they were easily induced to enter a
life or shame. When they were met on the
street by woman about two weeks ago
they were easy prey. and accepted the prop
osition of the designing woman. She told
them they would soon wear fine dresses
and always have good time, but their ex-
pectations were not realized. They were
compelled to associate with drunken men,
and their new life soon became unbearable.
When their parents, who had been notified
of their arrest. called at the station to-day,
they were only too glad TO return home.

enter life of shame does not live at the

Situation Seriou. ina Burmah.

LONDON, Jan. A recent dispatch
from Rangoon says that the situation is be-
coming serious. Both Upper and Lower
Burmah are now infested with Dacoits,
who are overrunning whole districts. In
Upper Burmah. particularly, they are burn
ing and pillaging numberless villages. The
poor people are flying to the larger towns
for refuge in 3 state of panic. leaving their
homes to be plundered by the marauders-
The garrison at this place is almost denuded
of troops in order to meet the demands Of
the army Of occupation, and it Is still Inn
possible to supply all the men needed to
maintain order in the conquered country.
A large force of Gho0rnas is
wanted to cope with the Dacoits
successfully. The prospects are not en-
cOuraging. Those who most loudly called
for the annexation of Upper Burmah a
short time since have considerably modified
their opinion, and there are many who be-
lieve that such policy will prove disas-
trous. The steamer Pankow was to sail

her return from a neighbors, whom she
had been visiting. The would-be ravishers
made desperate onslaught on the father
and attempted TO wrest the girl from him.
a severe struggle ensued, during which
Mr.. Van Cleve was forced TO the ground.
The daughters heroism, however, at this
critical juncture interposed, and Selling a
stick which lay at her feet she gave the as
sailantS such beating as to cause them TO
unlOose her father. The old man, thus
freed from her grasp. drew his pocket
knife, his only weapon, and almost severed
Crit Cassidy's head from his body. His
accomplices made good their escape, bear

Should they be overtaken, the common

all trouble and expense.
