Terrible Destruction by Wild Waters IN Northwestern
Pennsylvania Ohio Towns Under Water
-gantoness Forced ID Leave Their
Homes-At Other Points.

PITTsBUEG, September 12.-The riy-
ers are rising steadily, and though not
near the danger point as vet, adyices
from all along the Allegheny and Mo-
uongahela rivers promise much higher
water before Sunday. AT the hoadwa-
ters Of the Allegheny the rain aas been
especially heavy and has been falling
without intermiSSion since Monday,
the fall averaging six inches
for the past three days, some
thing unprecedented in the upper
counties. Comparatively little rain has
fallen up the Monongahcla, but it is
raining there now and more rain is
promised for this city. The country
fairs are suffering realty, they being
located on the low lands as a rule, and
damaged exhibits and ruined race tracks
are reported from all sections, causing
all of the fairs to close at a loss. The
tributaries to the Alleghenyarc all flow
ing, and at oil City the Western New
York and Pennsylvania tracks are coy-
cred, while trouble Is feared ON the
Allegheny Valley road.
CANTON, ONO, FLOODED.
All OF the lower streets in Canton,
Ohio, are flooded and great damage is
being done by flooded cellars, while the
small farmers are also heavy losers. At
New Castle, Pa, the NeShanuock river
is higher than it has been for years and
now completely covers the lower portion
of that city, and a hundred houses are
covered in the first floor with from one
10 six feet of water and the families
have been obliged to move 20 a higher
ground. Awashout has stopped freight
traffic on the New Castle branch
of the PittSburg and Western, while pas
Sengers must all be transferred. One
mile of the Western New York and
PENNSYLVANIA has been washed out near
New Castle, while the Nypauo is washed
away i'm a score of places. A score of
mills and furnaces IN New Castle and
along the NeShannOck are covered with
water and shut down. The deep She
mango river is also rising, and danger is
feared from that stream before morn
Ing. All reports indicate great loss to
mills, houses, roads. and to farmers;
nothing extraordinary in any one case,
but enormous in the aggregate.
