THE GORGE is HERE.


Crowds OF People Watch the Vanguard of
the Ice-It Reaches Pittsburg at Mid
night-water at Fifteen Feet and Little
Prospect of = Flood.
The first of the broken gorge reached
Pittsburg at midnight. In the descent it
had gained great deal of speed and on
reaching here was dancing merrily along
twice as fast as at Parker.
The river rose three feet in an hour.
reaching the 15-foot stage. With it came
the ice, covering the water from bank to
bank with a white mantle.
1t had been bumped, battered and banged
together in its journey so much that very
few large pieces remained, and most of it
was little more than slush. The main body
of the gorge is not expected before day
light.
The report that the gorge was coming
caused considerable excitement, and hun
dreds of people gathered on the bridges and
along the banks to look at it. A
great deal of talk was INDUCED in
as to the possibilities of damage from high
water, and people living near the river in
both cities were preparing for an emergency.
But in all probability these fears will not
be realized. Fifteen feet of water is a long
way off from a flood The sudden rise was
caused by the water which had been held
back by the gorge. Now that it is here there
is little chance Of its going any higher. Be
sides, there is plenty of outlet below, and
the water is hustling along at too lively 3
rate to give Pittsburg an unwelcome visit.
Even at the rapid speed the ice is now
going down it will take it all day at least
to pass this point. Though badly broken
mp it will be sight well worth looking at,
and doubtless there will be great crowds of
spectators along the river to-day.

A SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Called for tho Purpose of Attending to
Unfinished Business-Matters which
Arc Likely to BE Considered-some
That VIII BE Shelved

Called for the Purpose of Attending to
Unfinished Business-Matters Which
Arc Likely to BE Considered-some
That Will Be sheIved.
Late yesterday afternoon. President Hol-
liday, of Common Counsel, ordered special
meeting of that branch to be called for Tues
day afternoon "to take action on unfinished
business, a large quantity of which has
accumulated. AS the regular date OF
meeting is not until next Monday,
the order caused some surprise at City
Hall and it was claimed the meeting might
have something to do with the approprla-
tion ordinance. There is not much ground
for this, however, as the Finance Commit
tee has not held meeting on the ordinance,
and the assessors have not yet reported the
taxable valuation upon which the basis
millage must be fixed. 1t is is
understood that the assessors will
supply an estimate OF the valua-
tion at Tuesdays meeting, and that as
soon thereafter as possible the Finance
Committee will get to work. 1t is expected
the committee will report an ordinance to
Councils at the regular meeting next Mon
day, taking the Assessors estimate for the
basis.
Among the unfinished business of Com
mon Council is Chief Blgelow's sidewalk
ordinance, but it cannot come up in Tues
days meeting because it was postponed last
mont until the second meeting in February
As there was no quorum two weeks ago
Tuesdays meeting will be the first OF the
month and no action can be taken on the
bill until the regular meeting of next Mon
day.
Councilman O'Donnell's audit ordinance
is part of the unfinished business that will
likely be called up. 1t has been read a
second time in Common Council. As all
business of Councils as present organized,
will die with the close of the
councilmanic year, this ordinance will
probably be STAYED off until that time and
allowed to die. The Mayors more power
ordinance and the ordinan nee taxing street
cars are expected to meet the same fate.
There are number of street improvement
bills and street railway extensions that are
at present in Common Council awaiting
action, and they are likely to pass on Tues
day

PRICES WILL BE REDUCED.

Manufacturers Decide to Cut Prices on
Plate Glass Abont Per Cent
Edward Ford returned last evening from
a meeting of plate glass manufacturers
which was held in New York. He said a
committee was appointed to make a
new classification, and they will not
be able to report for some
time. The discounts will not be
changed, but in general prices will be re-
duced from 5 to Z per cent. The jobbers'
combination is coming around very gra-
ciously after holding out against the manu-
facturers since last May. Mr.. Ford says
the outlook is very gloomy. The jobbers
will commence to buy as soon as the new
rates are announced.
The tariff on plate glass is now 149 per
cent, and the middlemen claim that thev
are at the mercy of the manufacturers. The
new classification will aim to give the large
jobbers an advantage which they do not
possess at present The fight between the
makers snd middlemen has been in progress
for nearly year.

Looking for His Son.

Last night George Sillerman applied at
the Seventeenth ward police station for aid
in finding his son Otta. He said he had
sent the boy to q German school on Thirty
seventh street. The boy did not like
school and played truant quite often, but
was punished every time he was found out
For the last day or two he has not been at
school, and the supposltion is that he played
truant, and was afraid to go home ON ac-
count of the punishment He was seen on
Butler street yesterday morning and will
probably return home if not caught. Siller-
man lives on Kincade street, near Forty
ninth street.
