U..a,., Ann.,oI ~ -
CITY COUNCIL.

Both Branches Meet in Special Session,
Last Evening.
Both Branches of the City Council met
in special session, last evening, called pri-
marily for the consideration Of the report
of the Council Finance Committee, full
report of whose session Monday night sp-
pesred in the REGISTER of yesterday.
In the Second Branch the reading Of the

nance prepared at the dicIation of the Fl
nance Committee, entitled IAN ordinance

THE GENERAL EFFECT

The water Has Had Upon the CIty--Natu-
raj Gas supply on.
Among the other disadvantages the cit
liens were put to by the flood was the
shutting off of the natural gas supply.
The West Virginia company had just re.
paired the damage done its line by the last
flood and were again supplying their pa
irons with gas. Now the work viii have
10 be done all over again st Elm Grove,
Roney's Point, Thornburg's Crossing; and
in fact ut about every point the line was
broken before the same thing has nap
pened again. The only ill luck the Wheel
ing company met with was on Main street,
the line being severed by the destruction
Of the stone bridge. The, West Virginia
Company has again made arrangements
with the Wheeling Company and they
will be able to supply all their
low pressure consumers again this
morning from the pipes of the Wheeling

THE REPUBLICAN DELKGATEs.

They Have Some Adventures on the Way to
Charleston.
The train over the Ohio River road
which carried the delegates from Ohio
county and the Panhandle generally to
Charleston, or rather which was to carry
them there, pulled out of the depot at hall
past twelve yesterday afternoon, with
about two dozen prominent Republicans
on board. On the South Side large mum.
Der of other gentlemen from that part OF
the city got on board, and the train left
the city with about q car and half of the
leaders Of the party from this section, in
Guiding such prominent citizens as Hon.
A. W. Campbell and Hon. W. P.
Hubbard. The train picked up dele
gates from the various counties along
down the river. and everything went
merrily until Bull Creek, near Parksrs-
burg, was reached, where il was found that
bridge was gone, and the journey must
come to temporary end. The Statesmen
piled ont of the cars, and after Q hurried
consultation, q steamboat was chartered,
and the last heard of the party they were
steamIng on down the river TO the mouth
of the Kanawha. Whether they will ar
rive in time or not, was thought to be an
open question, last night, with the chances
in favor of their being late. In this con-
tingency, it is supposed the opening OF the
Convention will 90 postponed, as it could
scarcely 70 on without the presence of the
Ohio county and general up.river contin-
gent.
This might be looked upon as some
what unauspicious beginning for the
party.

HOW THE CREEK LOOKED.
The Water Going Out From Eight to Ten
Miles an Hour.

The Water Going Out From Eight to Ten
Miles an Hour.
Wheeling creek kept pretty full all night
and it was not until late this morning
that the waters commenced to recede.
While the part of the creek flowing through
the city is not by any means beautiful
when in repose, it certainly presented a
grand sight when the waters were at their
height last evening. The current was
speeding along from ten to twelve miles
an hour and as the water dashed past
seething and fosming the pillows seemed
to swell up with pride at their power and
the destruction they had done.
Many people fully expected to see the b.
& o. depot bridge 60 out, as the humping
tine middle pier received f'Om logs and
rubbish caused il to sink several inches,
and the depot looked pretty wobbly last
night. 1t certainly looked for a time as If
the place would never again be used for q
depot, and it looks now as if good heavy
train would sink it.
A stable along the creek bank belonging
to George Bolts, was undermined and fell
in late last night. 1t was reported that
the Manchester bridge had been swept
from its moorings, but it was found to be
untrue. A great many places along the
bank csved in and Others were in q dan
gerous condition, and when the water goes
down the bed of the creek will, no doubt,
present very varigated appearance.
At one o'clock this morning the water
in the creek was said to be still slowly ris-
ing by the watchmen and others who had
been about the ruins Of TIE Main street
bridge all night, and certainly glance at
the seething and whirling current made
their assertion we'll founded. The water
was but little below the level of the crown
of where the stone bridge arches would
have been, had it been still standing,
and was running ut fearful
rate, with noise which could
he heard as far up ss Fourteenth street.
The remnant of the B. & o. bridge had
moved ont about eight feet, and seemed
ready to drop into the sttesm at any mo-
ment. Little or no drift was RAINING at
that time. So large volume Of water at
that time of night indicated q tremendous
rain fall far mp TIE valley of Big Wheeling
creek, and bad news can be looked for
from that region.
At two o'clock this morning the house
occupied by Martin Frierie, ut the east
end Of Seventeenth street, was in dan
gerous condition, and was abandoned by
the family. 1t is liable to drop into the
creek at any moment.

MORE.
TContinusd form First Page. I

The people of the Grove and vicinity had
Just about got the finishing touches put
upon the repairs made necessary by the
last food, and now, in many. or most
cssss, they are worse OFF than ever and are
cut Of pocket the cash they had expended
in putting things to rights. An instance
of this kind is to be found in the damage
sustained by w. T. Chambers. 1t cost
him about IS, 900 to repair the loss he in
CARED by the former freshet, and he had
inst completed repairs, putting the finish
iug touches TO his big coal chute Monday.
He was in town when the creek commenced
70 boom, but FASTENED out, and seeing that
the big timber tramwsy was in dangerous
situation, got force Of men at work, and
attached four one-inch lines to the struc-
ture, carrying them back TO trees on the
bank of the creek. He then ran about
forty loaded coal cars ont on the bridge,
ard thought he had made q good job Of 1t,
bot when the water reached its height, the
thick lines were snapped like cords, and
the whole affair, coal cars and all, tum-
bled into the torrent and went TO pieces.
His loss to the coal works and ut his home
will aggregate about three thousand dol
lars.
Dat ut Triadelphia the situation was rep
resented a. being very bad. Three Of the
b. q D. bridges were carried away, nesr
that placs, and the individual losses are
many and large.
At West Alexander the B. & o. bridge
was also carried away, but beyond rumors,
40 estimate of the general loss could be
made.
The water at Elm Grove began to fall
about six o'clock last night, and after that
bour il went down rapidly in Little
Wheeling creek, but the flood in the main
creek showed no signs of going down for
good while after that hour. This morning
this portion of q usually beautiful valley
will present sorry spectacle--torn, wreck
I'd, washed out and Undiscovered. The peo-
pie are deserving of more than sympathy,
and it is probable that county rs well as
private aid will again have to be extended
to some of those who felt the effects Of this
calamity.
One passenger train on the B. & o. was
abandoned at Triadelphia in the afternoon,
and good many of the passengers made
their way back to the city in vehicles OF
one sort and another, ron the motor line.
The only narrow escape from drowning
reported in the vicinity of Elm Grove was
Mrs. Anderson, who slipped and fell in
attempting to cross the pike, and was In
imminent danger for time. John Mitch
ell rescued her, and took her safely ashore.
About ten o'clock last night there was
rumoS in the city that the stone bridge
over the creek at the Monument, Elm
Grove, had collapsed, but the story could
not be traced to any reliable saurcs.

THE RIVER.

The Marks, Last Evening, and the Amount
OF Water Expected.
At 1875 o'clock last evening the marks
at the wharf were II feet and rising, rise
of feet since o'clock p. m. 1t was un-
derstood, last evening, that % feet of
water was expected at Pittsburg,
which would give us from 30
to 80 feet, although it is
thought these figures are little high.
There is 10 fear that the water will be
high enough to reach the fair grounds, and
all stock over there will be perfectly safe.
1t is fortunate thing for the people
down here that the Allegheny didn't de-
eide to get ON tear at the same time as
the Monongahals, or there would have
been q very big river and immense damage
would have been done.

OVER THE RIVER.
Ohio Escapes With Light Damage.

Ohio Escapes With Light Damage.
Lots of water fell, but not in Jumps.
The rain lasted all day, and without in
PERMISSION, but the drops were small, and
ran off almost without damage.
Clsrk's run at Martins Ferry failed to
turn out its usual quota of rubbish and
stones, but Whisky Run, at West Wheel
ing tore out section Of the temporary
trestle work erected in place of the C. & P.
bridge, which gave way in the last big
flood. The rain fell steadily, but none Of
the creeks rose rapidly enough to do any
serious damage.
At Clark's Run in Martins Ferry the
water covered the @. Il p. tracks as usual,
but the stone, logs and other matter which
usually block the tracks failed to put in
an appearance. In anticipation of trouble
the @. & p. people had q gravel train
down from Wellsville early in the day,
and an outlet was made for the water and
no serious delay resulted. All the grade
crossings in Martins Ferry remained in
good shape, and there was no real damage
10 the town. The culverts and drains
carried off the water as fast as il fell,
aud the bsckwa.er did not reach suffi-
Gent depth TO do damage.
At Bridgeport no damage was done, al
though the creek carried out as much
water rs at the recent destructive flood.
Out the pike at Brockunier's and at Soap
town. the pike was covered with water,
but il collected 80 slowly that that the
road was not injured. All along the O.,
L. & W. road, from Bridgeport ont, the
tracks are covered at short intervals with
piles Of earth from the hillsides, but these
damages are only Of q temporary character,
and can be removed in few hours.
Prom Bridgeport to Rellaire the only
damage was the washing away of section
of the trestle on the C. & P. at Whisky
run, and the loossning of the O., l.. 4 w.
bridge at that place. At Abrams run,
which empties at Benson's Ferry, the G.
& P. and C., L. & W. tracks are covered
for short distance. Trains on the main
hne of the c., L. & W. are running
about on time. and are DISTRACTED only by
small land slidee. On the River division,
the bridge at Whisky run stops travel.
All trains on thu O. & p. stop at Bridge
port, but the road will get back to Bsllsire
in day or 20. On the whole, the Ohio
side got of very lightly.
