The STORM UP At PITTSBURG
The River Will be Falling Here, This
Morning.

A general glance at the flooded country
round about US shows that while the az
aggregate loss is very large, the people art
not bit discouraged, but are everywherc
hard at work in the endeaver to put wins :
property the frsshets have left in some
thing like order.
Along the valley of the creek the spec
tacle presented yesterday was sorry one,
and if there be no further destruction from
this particular cause, it will take months
Of labor to remove the outward effects OF
the disasters which have fallen upon the
valley, while many Of the people will fee
the effects of the food for years.
The railroads are doing all they can to
get to point where resumption of traffic
will be possible. The trsns-Ohio division
of the B. & o. is all right, and it is likely
the main stem will be open this morning
The Panhandle and Ohio River roads viii
be in running order to-day, and the Elm
Grove motor line got train through last
evening. But the Pittsburgh division o.
the B. & o. is more complete wreck than
the July food left it, and it will be ter
days before traffic over it is resumed.
There has been no loss of life anywhere,
except it be, possibly, up the valley of Big
Wheeling creek, from which section no news
could be obtained yesterday.
Natural gas is again being supplied &c
domestic consumers, the electric light il
going again, the South Side has limited
supply of water, and altogether, we are do
ing as well as could be expected.

Flood.

About the Clty-General News Of the
Flood.
The Gas Works was compelled to use
coke yesterday, as the natural ga, supply
was cut off.
The creek bank east of the Stone bridge,
on Seventeenth street, has been partly
washed away, and the ground over as fsr
as the Tack factory pavement has sunk q
distance of several feet, making travel in
any kind of vehicle on that street impossi-
BILE. The condition of things at that point
is very bad indeed.
The residence of Martin Friery, just
opposite the tack factory, on the creek
bank, has sunk several feet and q force OF
men wers engaged yesterday in propping
it up. II is feared that when the water
recedes the land in that Vicinity will 20
down with H. In that case Mr.. Friery's
house, and another next to ii, also belong.
ing 10 him, will be destroyed. The fami.
lies in both houses moved out yesterday,
and the family living In the house owned
by Frank Healey was also compelled to
leave, as the building is in q dangerous
position.
The earth under large oil tank at
Warren's oil refinery gave way yesterday,
precipitating the tank into the water, but
it had been tied with ropes and was pre-.
vented from floating away.
The Hinge Factory sustained some little
loss by the washing away of large row Of
ont houses and the back fence at the
factory.
The B & o. engines were supplied with
water by hose extending from hose plug
at the depot running across the creek.
Conductor Sener, of the B. & o, who
was left here and whose family lives o,
Washington, Pa, started out last evening
to walk home. He will hsvea big walk,
but Is determined TO get there.

city today would be from thirty to hfty
thousand dollsrs better of and still had 3
finer bridge than will ever span the creek
again. But the old stone bridge Is gone,
and there is no use locking the stable door
when the horse lie gone. But, rs q word OF
warning, / respectfully suggest to Council
that it lose no time in looking after
the Market street bridge The bases
of the iron columns should be inspected
and zee how much damage corosion ha.
done them in the past fifteen years. l
learn from prominent builder that this
bridge is not in propar condition by far,
and rapid travel over it Is q serious matter.
Another builder and architect says the
'camber" is all gone out of the bridge.
which greatly impairs and endangers ii.
This be claims can be partially remedied
by screwing up the bolts underneath.
The Gambler" or bow, he claims. should
never be lost to an iron bridge constructed
like the one on Market street, if it is de-
sired to preserve its strength and durs-
bility. Will our Council take heed in

"My little children. the thing write to you

Mr.. Small said:
1.-THE fact that IL the most commonly
observed, AZ we'll % the one that ID the
most dangerous, is that there 10 something
within ma that compels us 70 sin. That -,
something of the old Adam IN our nature

should be, nor what / might have been,
but could not help it.
Such belief would change. all my con-

might know what man had 10 endure, and
the gospels which grew out OF His Lille

All this, however, represents only the

IL repeat with all the zeal Of my nature
that in yourselves is the cause and the
only cause of your SHINING. Jesus Christ

and the proudest part Of his record Is that
he lived without sin. He judges as In

The Stage of tho Water Here and That
Expected.
There were great many anxious people
in the city yesterday and the telegraph
Office was besieged all day by people desir.
ing to ascertain how the river was acting
above, and what stsge was expected her,
some reports were greatly exaggerated and
naturally citizens who lived on the low
lands were more or less frightened.
At Plttsburg the marks at o'clock yes.
terday afternoon were 26 feet 2 inches,
the highest point reached. At 3 o'clock
the river began to fall rapidly and contin'
ned to do so up to last accounts.
At the wharf here at O'Clock last even
ing the marks were 26 feet and rising
rapidly, and from 80 10 81 feet were eI.
pected down. 1t is probable that the water
will reach its highest point here at an early
hour this morning. The marks on the

ing on the report to be made by the Board
Of Public Works, regarding new
bridge at the Main street crossing

city officials that Council had better make
provisions for negotiating loan, sufficient

at Main street. put the Market and Seven
teenth street bridges in complete repair,
and straiShten out CaldwelPs run. The
city has limit Of about
$3.50, 900 to 20 on. Should

and in this connection II has been suggest
cd that the loan Of 1887 amounting to
800, 600, at 6per cent, be funded into the
new loan, which can, it is thought, he ne
gotiate6 at 4 per cent, thus saving 81, 600
q year in interest. The city has no money
worth mentioning on hand now, and will
have nothing until taxes come in, during
the coming fall and winter.

pertinent and deeply interesting question
this evening.

About IL o'clock yesterday morning the

with the creek bank and sank slowly into
the tide which carried it away. This was
caused by the constant wash OF waters
against the bank, which had the effect OF
undermining it and allowing the abut-
ment to sink. A report was also circula-
ted about this time to the effect that the
Market street bridge was going. and q
grand rush was made to that point, but, oil
course, the report wss false.
