burg and Allegheny were visited by a
food that will cause losses Of at least
$750O00. They may even amount to
$1,OOO,000 These figures include esti-
mates of direct damages and consequent
losses in every class of trade and life, a
feature of the flood which it is impos-
sible to measure with absolute accuracy.
The flood turned between 5000 and
1000 families in the two cities and their
environs out of house and home. 1t has
compelled the temporary closing down
of over one hundred iron mills, glass
houses and manufacturing establish
ments, large and small. 1t has crippled
and delayed traffic on every line of rail-
road entering the city. Tuesday night
it tied up every system Of street railway
crossing from Allegheny to Pittsburg.
Thousands Of cellars were flooded.
Many of the larger stores and ware
houses in both cities had their base
ments filled with water to the first floor,
and in dozen of the streets of the two
towns bordering the river navigation
was only possible by boat.
Not the least startling incidents Of the
freshet have been two gas explosions in
Allegheny and one in Pittsburg, all
caused by connections being broken by
the rush of waters In each case several
persons were seriously injured
At II o'clock Tuesday night the ALE
gheny river showed a stage of over thir-
ty-one feet, and still rising at six inches
an hour.
The Monongahela river is not so high
as the Allegheny and has not caused
more than half as much damage. II is
not thought probable that the great
flood of 1884 will be elualed.

A BIG CROWD AT THE JOCKEY CLUB
MEETING.

The Most Successful Racing this City
Has Ever Had--HIow the Talent Was
Knocked Ont Yesterday--The Pro-
gramme for To.day-Notes Of the
Races.
The seventh day Of the Jockey Club
meeting was favored with good weather,
excellent racing, and big crowd, and
contributed its share to the success of the
best racing meeting ever held in this
vicinity.
The air was chilly enough TO make
wraps desirable. There were six races on
the card-five on the flat and one over the
fences All the fields were large and the
racing good.
The steeplechase, with its element of
danger, always brings out the ladies, and
tc. day was no exception to the rule.
Yesterdays Races.
First Race - Hypatica was strol ly
tipped for the first race ON account of a
widely circulated rumor Of n remark4b

choice, captured the race in the stretch,
and owing to Covington's poor riding,
won by a length, from the favorite, India

Second Race-The public played Ben
jamin and Helen Rose for all the bookies
would take at 8 to 5 and to L. Ben
iamin got off in the lead and kept it until
the stretch, when Vintage Time came

lengths from Benjamin and Helen Rose.

went on My Fellow and Gallifet, while

him at good odds. He took the lead and
was never headed, beating out Gipsey
Queen by two lengths, with Sam Wood
third.
Fifth Race-There was nothing in the
| jumping race but Hercules, and The pub
lie got back some of its money. Lizero
was well played for the place as was Bob
Thomas. Bassanio and Lzero made the

Suffering.


Suffering.
Mr.. Hamilton Bronough, the street-car
conductor who was fatally injured about
two months ago while running his car,
died at Providence Hospital at midnight
last night after suffering weeks Of agony.
Mr.. Bronough at the time of his death
was about 80 years of age, was rather tall
and handsome specimen of physical
manhood.
The noble spirit shown by him in the
tender manner in which he cared for his
widowed mother won for him as friend
nearly every citizen of this city who heard
of the sad accident which befell MIN.
Several years ago Mr.. Bronough went
West, but while there was not as success
ful as he hoped to be and he returned to
this city where he secured a position as
conductor on one of the Washington and
Georgetown cars, which position he
held until he was injured.
II is the habit of conductors to jump off
their cars before entering the curve at
Garfield statue, and to run ahead to the
switch and to turn the lever before the car
gets there
No one has previously met with an acci-
dent here, but when Mr.. Bronaugh went
to jump back on his car, which was
crowded, his foot slipped throwing him
directly under the wheels, which passed
over his leg.
He was taken to Providence Hospital,
where willing hands and tender hearts did
all in their power to alleviate the tortur-
ing pain.
During his confinement there he often
said he could easily stand the agony il he
could be convinced that his mother and
sister were not suffering. Had 1t not been
for his fine physique no doubt he would
have passed away within week after the
happening of the sad accident which takes
from widowed mother her sole support.
His funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon from his late residence 1920 o
street. 1t will be attended by the Railway
Employees Relief Association and the
Odd-Fellows, of which societies deceased
was member.
