feet. At II o'clock tonight there
were 2l feet OF water, aud both
streams rising. River men expect high
water, but do not think there will be as
much as during the early part OF the
week. When both rivers begin to rise
it always means big water, and II there
was much snow up the Allegheny there
would be food. The signal Office reports
that a decided rise 10 the rivers is to be
expected, but has not sent out any flood
warnings. There is no fear OF further
damage from ice along the Allegheny,
for all Of its tributaries are now clear,
except few small creeks. Tonight it
is thought the water will reach % or %
feet.
THE FLOOD AT BRADFORD.
BRApFORD, PA, February 10.-Four
inches of snow and five hours Of rain
caused repetition of Mondays floods.
The water is running over the side
walks on ANN, Lower Foreman, Davis,
Barbour streets, and Hilton street Is en-
tirely submerged, the water being In
houses. Residents Of all these streets
are occupying the upper stories or be-
ing taken out TO hotels. The ice is
being blown up with nitro-glycerine.
There is a huge gorge at Broder's dam,
and should this break uD great damage
will follow. II is now growing colder
and it is hoped the worst OF the flood
is over.
BLOWING UP A GORGE.
TITUsv1LLE, PA, February 1O.-At
meeting of the Common Council last
night it was decided to dynamite the
huge ice gorge at the water works and
work was begun to-day. About sixty
quart shots OF nitrO-g lyceriDe were ex-
ploded and a channel about 200 feet in
length opened. The West End flats are
q field of ice left by the reced-
ing high water. The condition
of Oil Creek is to-day normal.
The subcommittee on Appropriations
from Harrisburg will arrive next week
10 investigate the matter of dyking Oil
Creek, for which bill has been intro
duced by Andrews, Of Crawford. APP
uropriating $50, 900 FOR that purpose.
Should o protracted rain set in before
the great gorges at the Water Works
and Holidays dam go out, repetition
of the June disaster might result. A
feeling of great concern prevails
throughout the city.

Deaths of Two Bushes.

The remains of Jacob Rush, of Ohio Py'e,
we're inferred at the Jersey cemetery, near
Ursina, Wednesday. Mr. Rush was in his
STth year. lie had been a member Of the
Baptist church for sixty-three years. He
was more familiariy known as Fuller Jake
Rush, to designate him from the numerous
other Jacob Rushes, he having in his young
er days operated wooden, or f1lling. mill al
Draketown. He was 4 grandson Of Jacob
Rush, Sr., a revolutionary soldier, who lived
in Lower Turkeyfoot township, and whose
name was the first on the charter Of the Tur.
keyf Baptist church, organized in I775.
He has q cousin, Jacob Rush, known as
" Squire Jake, living near Ursina, who is
over % years Of age The Rushes have an
extensive relationship in Western Pennsyl-
vania. and nearly every western state is rep
resented by them from Texas to Washing
ton They came from New Jersey and vi =
cinily OF Philadelphia in the early days. II
is related Of Jacob Rush, Sr., that after the
Revolutionary war be drove four year old
steers east and traded for very poor article
Of shore salt, st ratio Of one bushel of
salt for one steer, the salt having to be car
ried back on pack horses.
Mrs. Nancy Rush, nee Hyatt, wife Of
Jacob Rush, was buried just one week ago
wednesday in Jersey cemetery. Mrs. Rush
wasin her s0,h year, and had been MEM
Der of the same church forsixty-one years.

Somerset Coal.

While there is no abatement in the anx
iety Of coal spectators to get foo.hold in
the coal fields of Somerset County, recent
Developments would indicate that they have
in measure pooled their issues. This is
not in the nature Of combination to con
troll the output but more in the way OF
keeping down the prices Of coal when it
is bought in bulk.
year or more ago, when spectators
first began taking options in that section,
$40 an acre was offered, aad at that time il
was considered big price. Later other
parties came in the field, and during the
present winter there vas much rivalry for
the control Of certain tracts. As the COM
petition increased the price was bid up IN
til short time ago SO an acre was offered
for lands that year ago could freely have
been bad for $40.
Within the past few weeks there has
seemed to be sort of unamity O. opinion
among those taking options, AMI the figures
offered sre not nearly 50 high as formerly.
This leads to the belief that the operators
have pooled their issues and each agreed up
on certain territory in which they will operate
without competition frOm the other. While
there has been no positive declaration to
support this idea, the sctions of those in
terested leads the pc pie to believe that
such is the case at present.
In regard to the HolsOppls tract, on which
two parties claim the option, there is little
new. Attorney Ripple has entered suit
OF ejectme1t against the Messrs. Thomas Of
this city and Mr. James, aud he and his
friends profess to be sahsuine that that they
will come out all right. On the other hand
the Thomas party has paid the money and
are getting the deeds right along as the Op-
tions become due, and express the belief
that they viii get fuil possession as agreed
upon.-JohHss0Cs Herald

Held on a sarlous charge.

Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Barron
arrived from JohnstOwn on the ZIG train
He was accompanied by Henry Slagel
slsgie's father ard attorney John Gastiger
The former gentleman was in custody OF ths
ofiicer and was taken Immediately 10 the
county Jail. He was released later in ths
dsy. his father becoming bis boodsman.
Henry slagIe is resident Of Ferndale. q
suburb Of Johnstown. A yesr or more age
be was working in Lincoln township, this
county, where be formed the aquaintance
Of Barbara EaOs, the fourteen year old
daughter OF Alex Enos. welI-to-do farmer.
Little Miss Eaos fell an easy victim 10 Sla-
gels designs. About SIX months ago. when
it dawned upon her parents that her pre-
cious name and reputation were about 70
be dashed 10 the earth and ruined she was
persuaded 70 disclose the name of her be-
trayer. She named Slagle. Her parents a.
once determined upon redress and as their
daughter was under the age Of consent, an
information charging bastArdy and rape was
accordingly entered against Slagle. Shortly
after the information was lodged Slagls's
father and mother paid a visit 10 the home
of the Eaos's and msnaged to compromise
the case by agresing TO pay the costs Of the
suit and $50 70 the girl This. done every
thing was supposed to be all right FOR young
81 agle, who returned to bis home and secur-
ed work in the johnson works, ali iMo1ham.
1t appears that the Justice before whom
the information was lodged exceeded his
authority in permitting the case TO be settled
without the knowledge Of the Court. Accord
ingiy Judge Longenecker issued a process for
the arrest Of Slagle. The process was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Good. The latter
ssnt the warrant TO Chief-ofPolics Richard
son and after laying for his man for nearly
three weeks Richardson located him Mon
day and took him into custody.
The prisoner is about twenty-five or
twenty-three years old aud does not appear
