Fatal, DELAY.


A Mother waits TO 1ress Her Four Chill
dred. and All Five Are Burned to
Death.
BY fire in a Brooklyn tenement
Wednesday morning four persons lost
their lives and one man was so severely
burned that he will probably die. The
fire started at o'clock in the morning
in the tenement II Hopkins street, cor
ner Delmonico place. it was caused by
a pot of fat boiling over in the base
ment on the ground floor, which is
used by Fred, Boldfus, a baker.
There was a very thick smoke,
and in few moments the flames had
reached up through the hallway, and
the people of the double fat came pour
ing down the stairs. There were nine
families. All of these escaped with the
exception of Mrs, John Henry, widow,
living in the third story, who stopped
to dress her four children. She stayed
too long and When she finally attempt
ed to get down the stairs
she was overcome by the smoke.
When the fire was extinguished it was
found that the mother and the children
had been burned to death. The names
of the dead are as follows: Mrs John
Henry. Harry Henry. aged eleven.
Julia Henry, aged nine. Woodsey Hem
ry, aged four. A baby boy one year
old Jacob Enrich, aged forty, who
was employed by the baker, and was
in the basement at the time the fire
started, was probably fatally burned.
So far as yet known the fire was purely
the result of accident.

DOZENS of residences were ruined. In
the Eureka oil field, at Belmont and

fewer than sixty oil derriclks were

OUT OF THE WET,
But Pittsburgh Is In a Most Deplor-
able Condition.
Fears of An Epidemic Following the vislta-
tion of the Flood.

The receding waters of the Allegheny
and Monongahela rivers at Pittsburgh
Thursday released the 5000 or 1900
families of Pittsburgh and Allegheny
who have been prisoners of the flood
for two days past When housekeepers
got down from the second-stories they
found from one to six inches of mud on
the first floor, the cellars even full of
water, that has to be bailed out with
buckets or drawn out by pumps. Aside
from the incalculable inconvenience and
trouble arising from the work of re-
storing devastated homes, grave fears
have been expressed that sickness may
follow the flood, because of the condi-
ton of the houses and streets. The
municipal authorities of Pittsburgh and
Allegheny will take immediate meas
ures to guard against any epidemic. In
Pittsburgh the bureau of streets and
sewers began work Thursday after
noon. Every street and alley
will receive a thorough wash
ing, and all leaks in sewers will be re-
paired as rapidly as possible. AS soon
as the rivers subside, SO that cellars can
be pumped out, the Health Bureau will
call in the Sanitary Inspectors from
other districts and establish stations in
the flooded parts of the city. The De-
partment of Public Safety will pump
out all the cellars where the inhabit-
ants are too poor to do the work them
selves. Copperas and sulphur will
be given to the poor, SO that
their houses can be disinfected
and fumigated as well as cleaned. The
Building Inspectors will examine all
flooded houses to insure that their
foundations have not been injured, and
condemn such as are faulty. The streets
are strewn with wreckage in endless
variety in all directions. Heavy tim
bers, railroad ties, telegraph poles,
wagon-beds, mortar-boxes, sections Of
fences, gates and all sorts Of hoatable
stuff have found lodging-places along
thoroughfares that were flooded.

FLOOD AT WHEELING.

An Area of Three Miles Submerged,
Reaching to the Second Stories.
The sun rose Wednesday on a de-
vastating expanse of water, at Wheeling,
w. Va, but which did comparative lit
tie damage, as recent floods have shown
Wheeling citizens the necessity of MAX
ing preparations for high water. The
island was almost entirely covered, and
caused citizens to move their
effects into the second stories
of their houses, while they sought
refuge elsewhere. The water crept into
the business houses on Water and Main
streets. Nearly the whole lower por-
tion Of the city was badly flooded by
Boggs run and Caldwell run backing
up, and an area of about three miles
was covered with water, reaching to the
second stories of houses River
at 10 o'clock was A feet and inches

RUSHING WATERS.
Another Flood Is Hurled Upon Pnrisers

Another Flood IL Hurled Upon Parkers-
burg, w. Va.
A scene of desolation from the Ohio
river front to the Little Kanawha front,
at Parkersburg, w. Va, on both sides,
met the eye Friday morning as the
waters continued to rise. At n. IN.
the gauge stood A feet inches, and
rising one inch an hour. All Thursday
night skiffs, RATS, floats and every
imaginable means of conveyance and
carriage went from house to house in
the bottoms, carrying out families from
second-story windows or furnishing
them with food and fuel. Many of
the people who failed to get quarters
uptown, which is crowded with refu-
gees from the food, remained in their
homes on the second floors until driven
by the water from their houses. There
was not single house in Riverside out
of water Friday morning, anu
almost half the houses are submerged
to the roof, and many of them
carried from their foundations. The
Ohio River Railroad Machine Shops are
under six feet of water. The freight
depot of the B. e. o. railroad has about
six feet of water on its floors, and the
freight depot of the Ohio railroad has
nearly as much. Every thing movable
has been carried to higher ground. All
of the families on First, Second, and
part of Third streets, are homeless,
with the exception of very few, who
still remain on the second floors
All of the stores on these streets and
ON Ann street, including the wholesale
houses, have been abandoned and the
property terrible damaged. The suf-
fering is terrible among the victims of
the food, many of whom will be ruined
in health and property. The losses to
the mills and factories which stretch
along the Kanawha from Julian street
to three miles up will be immense, and
every additional inch adds thousands to
the losses already felt

grave and prevented intrusion upon
tho space required by the family.
Outside the gates the cavalry and
artillery deployed to the right and left.
Gently the old veterans of the Thir-
teenth lifted the casket from the cais-
son and tenderly, with slow and meas
ured tread, they bore It up the way Of
the First Dolor, through the Way of
Bethany and to its crossing with
the Holy Rosary. Here they laid It
down upon a bier. Father, mother, son
and babe were united in death The
bier had been placed directly in front
of the grave of little Willie, who died
at the age of Q years, In 1858. To the
right was the grave of Mrs. Sherman,
surmounted by handsome monument;
to the left that of baby Charles, who
died in South Bend, Ind, in 1864, before
his first year of life had passed.
The wind whistled through the life
less branches of the trees, but every
head was barred and bowed as Father
Sherman stepped to the head of the
casltet The fortitude of his sisters de-
serted them at this trying juncture,
and they gave way feebly to their grief
in sobs and means.
