Streets Out Penn Avenue Obstructed With
All Kinds of Trash.
At the Point, which district is enclos ed by
Second street and Penn avenue. the greatest
distress and inconvenience was noticed yester-
day. The houses here are principally one-story
frame shanties and are all occupied by poor
tenants. Many were wise enough to heed the
warnings given as to the extent of the flood
and removed their goods 10 places of safety.
The great majority of residents waited until
the last moment, hoping the waters would
recede. The rivers rose rapidly during the
night, and it was with difficulty they escaped
with their lives. Owing to scarcity of skiffs In
the neghborhood many of the residents had to
remain within their houses. and in one in
stance a Mr. Mcconnell with his family were
rescued when the water had covered the floor

Along the Allegheny river as far out as
Sharpsburg, north of Railroad and Smallman
streets. the residents were compelled TO remove
their effects to places of safety. All the houses
within these bounds have been partly sub
merged, and business IN the districts is greatly
staCDated.
When the water recedes beyond Fortieth
street, many curious scenes will be presented.
Coal barges and smaller river craft is lodged in
the center OF the streets; great quantities of
cover the streets. sidewalks and backyards;
driftwood and kindred rubbish is everywhere,
and thick coat of oil overlays everything left
in the track of the ahating waters. It will be
many days, and probably weeks, before the
damage caused by the flood will be fully wiped
out and dwelling houses assume their former
appearances.

FEDERAL STREET SCENES,

Unlucl1y Wayfarers Who TumbIed Into
Cellar Openings - Teamsters Reap a
Harvest and Supplant the Boats-The
Water Receding, and the Crossing
likely to Dry To-Day.
Federal street was brimful of experiences
for the venturesome, and much amusement
was afforded the sishtseers who congregated
short distance above Lacock street by the
mishaps which befeIl some uufortunates.
Early in the afternoon Young man in a
new suit of clothes, overcoat and pair of
high gum boots essayed to reach house about
square from Federal. He advanced into the
water with great intrepidlty, and was forging
his way slowly through the waters when the
neighbors began to shout and motion with their
hands at him. The intrepid voyageur, looking
up to ascertain the cause of so much shouting,
next moment disappeared into a cellar, from
which he presently emerged with some moisture
and frown.
but agreed among themselves that it served
the young man right for not needing their
warnings. The stranger, once more on his
feet continued his way, but only to be again
received with warnings and hints, which
disregarding, he once more plunged into a
cellarway. This performance he once more
accomplished in the next 100 yards to his own
infinite disgust, but to the delectation of the
onlookers, who laughed to an extent that must
have chased the cobwebs from their hearts
Similar scenes were witnessed on Federal
street. where unconscious citizens slid into
cellars opened by the owners as measures of
safety against exploding gas.
As on the previous day, teamsters made a
harvest in hauling passengers through the
water At charge OF cents a head This
Was q mode of transportation which the GOV
Allegheny girl did not particularly object
TO. She did. naturally. m urmur at the audaci.v
of the young man who assisted her into the
wagon with too tight hold of her being but
the glance of Indignation which followed was
not especially vindctive. Certain it is that the
wagon mode of conveyance between dry land
and dry land was reserted to by thousands who
could have reached the Ft. Wayne depot at
the same cost and more comfort. Perhaps the
novelty OF the occasion produced the charm
which settled the means of locomotion.
Toward evening the water at the Robinson
street crossing had subsidized very considerably,
and the boats, which hitherto had sup.
planted the horses. had in turn to give place to
the teams. AT IL O'clock the flood at the deep,
est point was only Is inches and falling randi
ly, with prospect of the crossing being dry by
9 O'Clock this morning.

PATH0S AND HUMOR

Were Mingled in Occurrences Incidental to
the Flood A Young Couples Agony
Turns to Joy-The Man With the Big

Pathos mingles with humor in coiucident
parallelisms in every great catastrophe, and
the flood furnishes plenty of both.

But the young mother paid dearly for the gift

waters gained on the house; the husband would
not leave his dying wife, she could not be
moved, and the devoted couple were clasped
in each others arms as the physician, baby and
nurse were taken away in boats. The wife
knew naught, and the husband defantly
awaited the end that would soon come for him
self in the flood and his beloved by death.
But Providence stayed the approach OF tho
