South Side with another plug, so US to
give the people temporary water sup
ply for domestic purposes. This morn
ing fOrceo men will be put to work
laying temporary six.inch pipe across
this bridge, connected on the two sides
Of the creek with the Market street
mains, and the Water Board contem-
plates laying permanent twenty.inCh
main across at Market street. There
was a water main across there until the
flood Of -, when it was removed to the
Main street bridge, which was Consid-
cred us indestructible as the earth itself.
The electric lights went out, there be-
ing no water to run the engines to pro-
duce power. The company will lay Il
pipe OF its own to the power house from
q plug at EOtf street, north. OF the creek,
to-day, and expects to have the lights on
again tonight.
The natural gas was again cut oil.
Just when this eau be remedied the
company could not say last night.
The damage to sewers, streets and the
like amounted to nothing, the rainfall
being moderate.
on CALDwELL's RUN.
OF course interest centred early in the
storm on Caldwell's run, where the
damage and loss OF life was so serious at
the last storm. The temporary substi-
tute for bridge at Eof street gave way
early in the afternoon, and with it went
the gas and water mains again, cutting
of the supply of n large section OF the
Eighth ward. The twelve-inch water
main went, but the twenty.inch main,
which crosses Mt Chapiine street, was
safe. The natural gas was cut oil, but
was turned on again about 5:45, only Ia
be again shut off few minutes later by
the destruction OF the stone bridge.
At CaldwelPs run an INTELLIGENCEl
reporter found the people much alarmec
lest the awful experiences OF tho last
visitation were TO be repeated.
A house belonging to viii Brunell
set hight on the bank just below the toll
gate, was endangered, the rain washing
the sandy earth'from under it. Here, a.
along the creek, the banks caved int
the water and were washed away by the
hundred OF tons.

THE RIVER.
A Pretty Good Sized Fre.het Coming.
Rapid Rise.

A Pretty Good Sized Freshet Coming.
Rapid Rise.
The river at this point at II o'clock
last night showed a depth on the leyee
gauge OF over II feet and was rising
slowly. This was rise OF over 8 feet in
less than twenty-four hours, and it
nearly all took place after o'clock yes.
terday afternoon, being caused largely
by the backing up of the waters by the
mighty force OF the creeks current,
which dashed into the Ohio and across
the channel nearly to the Island shore,
forming barrier that piled the 0hio's
tide up on itself in very short order.
At S o'clock the signal service station
Mt Pittsburgh reported depth in the
Monongahela at that point OF II feet
and stated that while the river was
rising very fast there and at points
above, depth OF not more than % feet
was all that was looked for.
At 9:2O o'clock the following special
reports were received from points on
both the head tributaries:
Rice's Landing-River lG feet and ris..
ing Is inches per hour. Heavy rain all
day and prospects for big river.
Oil City-River inches and station
ary. Has been raining all day; pros
poets are for foot rise.
Morgantown-River 10 feet and rising
foot per hour, Weather rainy; Their
momcter 700. Prospects for a flood good.
Brownsville-River 10 feet 6 inches
and rising three feet an hour. Prospects
for n big river. 1t has rained hard since
last night.
Greensboro-Rlver II feet inches
and rising one foot IN hour. Heavy
rain has prevailed for the past eighteen
hours and it is still raining,
Parker-River foot and rising. Light
rain all day, but don't look for much OF
n rise.
In case there is not more than %
foot rise at Pittsburgh the limit here will
be but little over 30 feet. This will be
gratifying news to all who live on the
Island and on the low spots in the south
ern portion OF the city, and to the whole
sale men along water and Main streets.
There was great anxiety manifested last
night, and not without reason too, for
the first report was that the Allegheny,
like her sister river, the Monongahela,
was coming out with boom. There
was big crowd at the telegraph office
for several hours, and even the 30 foot
prediction made on the news from above
Jailed to relieve the fears OF many.
AT2A. M.-At this hour the situation
as regards the river looks little more
serious. Since II O'Clock the rise has
been remarkably fast and the indica-
tons are that by daylight the wharfboat
will be rubbing the platform OF the
Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Kentucky depot.
A depth OF 80 feet is now predicted.

PROMISED TOO MUCH.


A False Prophet is Hanged Down South.
ATLANTA, Ga, May 25.-A few weeks
ago man located in Green county. He
called himself "Abbidigal," Or the "Holy
One" claimed to possess divine nature
and said he had received instruction by
divine revelation to free the negroes of
Georgia from the bondage of false reli-
gion. He gained the confidence of the
colored people and deluded them into
believing he was their colored Savior.
He had many followers. The stranger
secretly informed the negroes that there
was Gland Of promise" which he had
recently discovered. 1t was, he said,
place prepared for negroes, where they
had neither to work nor starve-a paradise
that was to be the home of all who toll
lowed him. He babe them steal, or to
sell all that they had and to put their
money into his keeping, and on certain
night they would meet and start on their
journey. About forty people complied,
whereupon Abbidigal ran away with the
money. They pursued and caught him,
hung him to tree and dashed his nude
body with briar reeds and left him for
dead. He was found by white people
and cared for, but can not recover He
is white man, but had stained his face,
hands and hair SO as to pass for negro.

Utilizing California Woods.

Some of the natural woods of Cali.
fornia and Oregon are coming into
extensive use, both at home and
abroad. for interior finish. the most
valuable for this purpose being the
redwood, the white cedar, the laure.
and the sycamore. The redwood takes
the lead in this line, taking q goo]
polish. and. for general use, wear and
staying qualities, is alleged to have nc
superior in any forest in the world.
The laurel is smooth. firm. beautifully
figured. and altogether most desirs

as an ornamental wood has only quite
recently become generally known. its
grain being much like that Of the east.

together. and. as it is quite tough and
strong. it possesses superior value fol

beauty and utility for decorative pur-
poses, is figured with concentric curves,
and allows an attractive polish. The
maple of that State is also Of beautiful
appearance, light yellow in color. and

lines. of especial beauty in the gas
