Great Losses.


Great Losses.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 1s-This afternoon
the Allegheny river reached 32 feet II inches,
but since then has been slowly recedng.
With nearly every iron mill flooded and
closed down, railroad tracks washed away,
whole squares of streets flooded TO the sec
ond story and thousands of cellars filed, the
direct loss by the food cannot fall below
100000. The poor living along the river
have suffered so greatly that appeals for aid
have been ISSUED. The building inspectors
say the flooded districts have suffered great
injury in the way of damaged foundations.
Tonight the river has fallen several fee
The damage to the railroads is being rapidly
repaired.
Reports from all up the river points show
rapidly declining waters, and people return
ing TO their homes to repair damages, which
in most cases is far greater than was ex-
pected.
At Johnstown the loss is great, the founda-
tions of many houses having been unoer-
mined. Street cars are running again and
the mills will open tomorrow. The destruc-
ton of the bridges was "A serious loss, as the
different sections of the city will have no
communication by wagon for some time. The
farming communities below are heavy losers.
A dispatch from Wheeling, w. Va, says
the river is still rising tonight but it is re-
ported from above 10 have begun falling.
The damage in Wheeling is great. The whole
of Wheeling island, Seventh ward, is flooded
and, tonight, most Of it's 1000 inhabitants are
sleeping in another part Of the city
In South Wheeling hundreds of working
mems houses and several factories are inun-
dated, and in the business center many whole
sale houses are flooded. Business is almost
entirely suspended. No trains are arriving
or departing. The depots are under water
and the railroad yards blockaded. Two prin-
cipal hotels have water on the first floor and
guests are obliged to go in and out of the
windows. Reports from down the river in
the glass and pottery districts also show
heavy losses. No loss Of life however, has
yet been reported.

ROME, Feb. 1S.-[Special Cablegram to
THE BEE. Count Jacini, a senator who was
acolleague of Gavour and Rcasoli, in an ar
ticle in the Nuova Antologia, a leading re-
view, outlines the national conservative pro-
glamme as follows: An unaggressve for
eign policy, a demonstrative decentralization,
the territorial question in Rome to be a mat
ter of home policy, independence of the vat
lean to be settled by international neutraiza-
tion of any locality in which the pope may
elect to dwell. The dreibund, he
holds, ought not to be renewed
unless Italy ceases to guarantee Germany in
the possession of Alsace- Lorraine, and in the
event of war between Germany and France
the conflict ought to localized and Austria
and Italy ought to intervene only to prevent
the victor from endangering the equilibrium.
The article is exciting much attention in
political circles.

being mangled in two places near the base of

rendering his condition quite critical indeed
He was taken to the school.house near by, Dr.

turned over to the county authorities for their
kindly attention. At this writing he is un
conscious. and The only clue to his identity is
a kind and well-written letter from lady in
