THREATENED WITH FLOODS

The Condition of the swollen Rivers
is Dangerous - The Ice Gorge at
Linden is MOI Broken.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 12.-Reports
received to night from the section of the
western part of the state threatened by
floods show abatement from the danger of
freshet in some places, while in others
the condition of the swollen rivers remains
dangerous.
At Port Deposit, Nd, all day yesterday
the people watched the muddy waters of
the Susquehanna and hourly expected the
river to overflow Its banks and find chan
mel through the streets. An ice gorge in
Conowingo was holding in check a great
volume of water. When night came on
hundreds of people, expecting the gorge
would break, thronged the banks of the
river and waited for the coming torrents.
At 2 o'clock the gorge gave way and the
food swept down, leaping the banks and
spreading through Port Deposit For
/ time the Inhabitants did not know whether
or not their town would be carried away
and themselves drowned, but when the
feet in the streets and houses 1t ceased to
rise.
To-day the flood has remained at the
same height, and outhouses and everything
not securely fixed has been swept off. The
tracks of the Port Deposit and Columbia
railroad are covered for over q mile, and 1t
will be several days before traffic can be
resumed. The situation is unchanged to-
night. The loss so far is estimated at $780,
600.
Portions of the ice gorge at Linden, Pa,
went out to night, but the main body of
the ice has not yet broken. Thousands of
people crowded the bridges and Shores
there to day to watch the ice, which was
expected momentarily to break. The wa
ter reached height of fourteen feet at
Williamsport o-night, and all the Ice be-
tween there and Linden passed out.
At Jersey Shore the water reached a
height of twenty-four feet, and at Linden
it was two or three feet lower. All the
e ats are submerged. 1t is not likely that
| the gorge can hold much longer.
The Susquehanna at Harrisburg had
fallen foot this morning, and during the
| afternoon was at q stRndstill, being thir-
teen feet, nine inches above low water.
Reports from points north indicate that
the volume of water may be increased dur
ing the night, but there are no spprehen-
sions OF serious 1ood.
In this city the danger of inundation OF
the mills on the banks of the Sohuylkil
river is becoming greater.

PRISONERS WE'RE NOISY.

They Threw Missiles Across the Cor.
rldors and Through the Windows.
BosToN, March IA rumor was cur.
rent tonight that three prisoners had
made their escape from the state prison,
but the report was found to be untrue. A
visit to the prison, however, disclosed the
fact that the men were noisier to might and
moro dsmonstrative than at any time since
the recent trouble there
In the north wing, especially, this was
the case, and many windows were broken
by missiles of various kinds thrown
through the cells and across the narrow
corridors by the oonvicts. No attempt
was made, however, to discipline them.
The new warden, General Bridges, will
report for duty next Wednesday.

THE STREET RAILROAD DEAL.
Offers Made for q Controlling Interest 1
the Metropolitan and Columbia Roads.

Offers Made for a Controlling Interest in
the Metropolitan and Columbia Roads.
The negotiations for street railroad property
are still on. and the syndicate which a few
weeks ago bought the Belt and the lexington
roads have not as vet abandoned their original
purpose to include the Metropolitan and the
Columbia roads in the deal. 1t is understood
that the sticking point in the transaction is
quite a wide difference of opinion to the
value of these two properties. The most re-
cent move is said to have been made on Satur-
day when it is understood that an offer of
$40 per share for a controlling interest in the
Metropolitan and Sis per share for a similar
voice in the management of the Columbia was
made and IVES not accepted. As the stock Of
both roads Is quoted al much lower figures on the
local stock exchange il Is evident that the
present owners have pretty good notion of the
value OF the properties. 1t Is OF course not
known what the outcome of the present nego-
tiations will be. but there seems to be pretty
well-defned oDinlon in some quarters that the
end is near at hand II is understood that some
of the smaller owners of Metropolitan stock
are anxious to accept the offer that has been
made, whine on the other hand the large owners
are holding out with the expectation of getting
a better prIce. The selling price Of the latter
Class among the Metropolitan stockholders is
said TO be S175 per share, while it is under
stood tina. the Columbia stock can be had for
Sl40 per share. 1t is generally agreed tina. the
latter road is no. wanted unless the former
road can also be obtained
