High Water Creates Havoc With n Bridge
Under Course of Construction.
npEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIspArca..
WHEELING, May 25.-At $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon the flood in the Ohio river
carried out the channel span of the new
Union railroad bridge at the north end Of
the city. The contractors. Baird Brothers,
of Pittsburg, had completed the approac hes
and the four end spans, and were bending
all their energies to complete the big chan
mel span, which is 525 feet long. The false
work containing a tremendous amount of
timber was completed two weeks ago, closing
the channel, and 400 tons of steel had been
hoisted to the top and was in place. Another
week would have completed the structure.
The rising river piled about two acres of
drift above the false work, and at noon the
contractors saw it was useless to proceed,
and the bolts connecting the channel span
with the spans on either side were cut loose,
and all machinery, engines and other
material moved off the big span.
At 3 o'clock the work OF removing the
DRIFT was suspended on account of the great
danger and 80 minutes later the great mass
of timber with its immense weight OF steel
went down with crash. The channel is
blocked with the mass of steel and timbers.
Navigation is extremely dangerous at this
point and some weeks delay in the progress
of the work on the bridge will result The
loss will be $4,000, beside the delay in
anchoring the bridge, as nothing can be
done while the river is so high, and the
steel is laboriously fshed out of the water.

MATCHED AT LAST.

Forfeit Put Up for n Battle Betweer
John l.. Sullivan and Joe McAuIiffe-
The Fight TO Take Place In August,
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, May ga match has at las,
been arranged in which Champion John L.
Sullivan will figure as one of the principals.
His adversary will be Joe McAaliffe, the
heavy-weight from the Pacific slope, who was
never defeated until he met Peter jackson.
Late on Saturday night crowd of prominent
sporting men, which included Billy Madden,
Jimmy wakeley and Phil Lynch, met at an up-
town resort and arranged the meeting between
the giants.
The match had been talked about for some
time past and both parties were equally eager
to sign articles, but it was not until Saturday
that matters reached definite conclusion. 1t
was agreed that the fight should be fought to
a finish, for s. 900 a side, with light gloves
Marquis of Queensbury rules to govern. Phil
Lynch deposited $500 in Jim Wakeley's hands
as forfeit for Sullivan. Billy Madden did the
same for McAuliffe. Wakeley was then selected
as stakeholder. The fight will take place some
time in August. Texas OF Virginia will be the
battle ground If the Virginia Athletic Club
has such an accommodating spot for the battle,
safe from police interference, it is very likely
that it will take place, as 1t will be most too
warm in Texas to have any sort of a contest as
this during August. Sullivan will no doub bt be
the fayorite but McAuliffe's chances are re-
garded as first rate by his friends.

mediately furnished with q large force OF
workmen, and the building is rapidly being
finished.
A. j. Cooper, Chicago capitalist and
one of the owners of the well-known Adams
Express building, has done the same thing
with the new AIhambra Theater, which he
is fitting up at the junction of Archer ave-
nue. and State street, and so have Lloyd &
Co., a wellknown drygoods firm on State
street. These are only few of scores of in
stances that might be cited to show with
what energy and shrewdness the battle of
the workmen is being fought to finish.
There is a rumor in the air that some of
the non-union contractors whose work has
been interfered with are about to begin
proceedings in the criminal courts against
the strikers, and it has been stated that
warrants had been obtained for the arrest Of
every member of the Carpenters Council,
but these reports cannot be traced to any re-
liable source.
THE BUILDERS LOSSES.
Many OF the firms which are holding out
against the terms of settlement are strong
and well able to stand the strain. Others,
who are not so, are placed in a very irving
position. Their contracts were taken at
very close figures, as contracts in Chicago
almost always are and were based on the
old rate of wages, 80 cents per hour for ten
hour day, and in many instances doubtless
an increase Of cents per hour
in wages would swallow up the whole mar
gin Of profit. On the other hand, If their
contracts are not fulfilled within the stipu-
lated time they are liable to be held answer
able in damages. More than one of the "old
bosses" after fully considering the matter,
will probably yield to the strikers terms
before the week is over.
1t is understood here that the carpenters
OF Pittsburg and vicinity are getting ready
for similar movement to secure an eight
hour day and 40 cents an hour, and it is
probably in anticipation OF the coming
struggle that a central organization like the
Chicago Carpenters Council" has recently
been formed there.

STREETS AND CELLARS FLOODED.

Grent Damage TO Railroads and Other
Property at Johnstown.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
JoHNsrowN, May 25.-A terrific rain
storm, accompanied by heavy thunder and
lightning, occurred here this afternoon.
The rain fell in sheets for about half an
hour, flooding streets, filling cellars and
doing great deal of damage. Railroad
street in Cambria City was under water,
the water being up to the first floor in about
80 houses in that street.
The eastbound track Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad was covered to the depth of two to
three feet by dirt washed down from the
hills at several places between the stone
bridge and Morrellsville, delaying trains for
two or three hours. The westbound track
was similarly obstructed between Cone
maugh and Johnstown. The rivers are rising
rapidly, but it is not thought they will do
much damage.

Perceptible shock.
UTICA, N. Y, May 25.-Shortly after Z
A. NJ, to-day the Mohawk valley was dis
turbed by slight shock of earthquake, ac-
