up for, and what makes his right eye 80

Of the bad boy as the boy came to bring
some butter back that was strong enough
TO work on the street. "You haven't

ought to have seen him when the gun
was engaged in kicking him" says the
boy as he set the butter plate on the
cheesebox.
"Well, tell us about it. What had the
gun against your Pa2 guess it was the
son Of gun that kicked him" said the
grocery man as he winked at a servant
girl who came in with her apron over
her head after 2 cents worth Of yeast.
"Tll tell you IL you will keep watch
down street for Pa. He says he is
damned if he will stand this foolishness
any longer"

the gun store and some cartridges, and
we went away out west on the cars,

he was only cunning.

sometimes amounting it with iodine will

rELEGRASIs FROM ABOVE.

PITTsBURG, PA, February IA dis
astrous food from the Monongahela and
Allegheny rivers is apprehended within
the next twelve hours. The rains Of
the past thirty-six hours have swollen
all the small streams at the head waters
beyond their banks, and the indications
are that there will be from % to % feet
of water at this point by midnight.
This will inundate the lower portion of
Pittsburg, Allegheny and the South
Side and will force all the manufacto-
ries along the two streams to close down.
People living on the flats are pre-
pairing to move from their houses
and merchants are removing their goods
to the upper floors. At noon the marks
on the Allegheny showed II feet and on
the Monongahela tx feet. Both rivers
were rising rapidly, and, notwithstand-
ing 4 heavy fall in the temperature this
morning, the signal officers state that
the rivers will reach 25-foot stage.
Some old rivermen say il will 60 10 80
feet, in which event the damage would
be inealeulable. The danger line is 90
feet. and seven feet more would food

aires. Reports from surrounding towns
are to the effect that the lowlands are
submerged and the water is still rising.

TIE HOoPsSIKT PANIC.

The good word now comes from Bos-
ton that the hoopskirt panic that has
seized the able editors Of the land has
no foundation except in the misinter-
probation Of the word "crinOline." 1t
was stated in some of the Paris Deriodi-
Gals that the French hali-world, which
sets the fashion for the whole world,
had begun 10 wear crinoline skirts,
and, as this was the name given To
koopskirts several years ago, the mis-
take OF the English and American edit
ors was natural. They concluded that
the balloon hOopskirt was to be reintro-
duced, and Immediately a panic ensued
among those who have an eye for the
beautiful. Under the circumstances,
their panic was justifable, for more
horrible fashion was never invented.
We learn from our contemporary that
the word "crinoine" is derived from
Latin crinis, hair, and linum, flax, and
that it is applied to the cloth which,
when made into petticoats, causes the
skirts to stand out stiff as when an ex-
ira supply Of starch has been applied
to them. This is bad enough, but it is
not as bad as the hoopskirt.
Nevertheless. it IS we'll to bear in
mind the fact that crinOline Pctticoats
preceded the hoopskirt craze. Crino-
line cloth was pretty stiff, but when
there was competition among the wo-
men, it was found that crinoline could
not be depended on to make the re-
quired bulge, and so the steel hOopskirt
was Invented. 1t grew bigger and big
ger, until the comic artists began to
ridicule it, and then there was a grad
ual collapse.
A Virginia editor, who has Of late de-
voted much time and talent to the dis
cussion Of the hoopskirt problem, is Of
the opinion that the electric street cars
will solve the problem, since it is not at
all unusual during wet weather for the
whole body OF the street car to become
charged with electricity. When this is
the case the car is likely to be very
warm place for a lady with dozen or
so steel bands under her skirts.
There is one more reason, therefore,
why Wheeling should demand that the
contestlag parties hurry up and settle
the electric car strike.

The marks at Pittsburg yesterday
APPREHENSION IN THE CITY.

Seldom has the river at this point
made such a jump as it did yesterday.
In about fourteen hours Ii ADDED ten
feet to its depth, and it kept coming up
at the rate OF six inches an hour with
steadiness which, combined with the
alarming reports sent out from Pitts
burg, created much apprehension among
merchants and business men exposed to
loss should the stream get out of its
banks. BY noon steady stream OF en-
quirerS began to pour into the newspa-
per and telegraph Offices, and towards
evening these queries became more and
more frequent, telephones keeping up
an almost perpetual jingle, Dur
ing the day and evening bull
letins were exposed at the
newspaper and telegraph Offices. and
large numbers of people stopped TO scan
them, supplementing the reading with
a dive into telegraph or newspaper
Office, as the case might be, in quest OF
further data. The news from Pittsburg
was not reassuring. The dispatches
steadily predicted from 90 to 80 feet at
that point, and either figure was large
enough TO be serious here at Wheel
ing, making it probable that
a large number of people
would be put to considerable incOn-
venience and expense. With this star
ing them in the face, several business
men took precautions during the late
afternoon and evening to protect goods
in cellars along the water front, and
not a few houSeholders on especially
L.. Of ha Tcla
South Side, remained up all night,
keeping a watch on the river, and max
ing enquiries for late news from time
10 time.
At ten o'clock last night the water
began to creep over the low ground on
the Island, and was well backed up in
the low ground about the mouth OF
Boggs' and Caldwelrs runs, and by this
morning the water will be we'll over the
banks in the orchard district" Of the
Island, aud at various other points in
this vicinity. 1t may also be expected
TO show in the cellars Of quite
number of business houses this
morning. Up to two o'clock yesterday
afternoon the water was free from ice,
but soon after that hour a large amount
of fine ice appeared, covering almost
the entire surface Of the river. 1t soon
began TO thin out, however, and by
dark had about all disappeared. At
/ one o'clock this morning ice
was again running. A very
moderate amount Of drift went down
during the day. At Pittsburg, yester-
day, the signal service officials pre-
dicted a 25 foot stage there, which was
a moderate estimate, as that point was
| reached AZ u o'clock last night.

We call special attention to this for
the reason that while, as a rule, the

entertaining or exciting nature, there
is no telling when it will be, and, fur
thermore, It is the duty OF every citi-
zen to keep himself duly posted as TO
the doings of bis States lawmakers.

tainly be Of advantage to him to keep
