PITTsBURG, Feb. THE flood that
threatened disaster to Pittsburg and
Allegheny has, it is thought, been
checked by the cold weather, and at
midnight the worst is believed to be
over. The sudden rise in the Mononga-
ehela and Allegheny rivers was unex-

morning that a volume of water that
would inundate the lowlands was OH its
way here, there was CONSERVATION

and the merchants and manufact-
urers doing business along the
banks of the two streams. Preparations
were at olce made to remove goods
from the l. wer floors, and many resi-
dents hastily LETT their houses for safer
quarters. At 10 o'clock in the morning
the water touched the eighteen-foot
mark. and II day kept creeping stead
lily up the auge, until at midnight the
marks sho !ed twenty-five feet. The
rivers wer still rising, but from six
inches of rise an hour they had
dropped to }ss than three inches, and
it was con emily expected that few

and the result was that the lower parts
of Allegheny and the South side were
submerged, and the merchants and

of their cellars. The damage as far as
known is not large, but the poor people
who were forced to leave their homes
suffered greatly from the cold.
The high water seriously affected
the railroads, and nearly all
the through trains were delayed.
The trainmen had many stories to tell
of damage along the line. The famous
Conemaugfr is swollen so that it has
risen over its entertainments at several
places, causing fear and CONSERVATION
among many who have residences along
the stream. From Conemaugh down it
