Johnstown Again Flo> led.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, May 21.-The greatest
storm since the big flood of 1889 has ceased
and early light disclosed flooded streets
and alleys and cellars full of water. Mer
chants were busy all night getting goods
kept in cellars to high places, where the
water cannot damage them. About IS ,0Ot
worth Of timber belonging to the Cone
maugh Lumber company broke loose and
was carried away, tearing two bridges
down and causing great damage
Fifty feet of a stone wall along the Cone
maugh river was washed away, and crops
in the vicinity We're ruined, entailing loss
of thousands of dollars. Reports from Eb
ensburg say that the heaviest rise since
1889 is there. Bridges across small streams
are swept away. The report says that the
farm crops are washed out, and everything
is dead loss The rain at Ebensburg still
continues, and the river is likely to be
again much swollen when the streams
from the porth empty into it.
The widening of the river bed here is the
only thing which has prevented a heavy
loss. Tom c. McFetters, a lad - years old
was drowned in the Conemaugh river while
trying to ride on log.

Is the Church Property
on East Main street
Detrimental to the
Business Interests of
the street.

Ii has always been the popular idea
among business men that church Is injuri-
Gus to the growth of the business interest
Of the street on which it staLds.
We believe this Is true to some extent,
on the principle that every building that is
closed six days a week has no attraction
for anybody. But unlike other churches
in the city. this particular church is always
open; and people are coming and going
from it all the time. from early morning.
until late at night. And 1t Is largely made
of that portion of mankind who buy most
OF the goods for-voman.
Women 60 to church Oftener than the
men; and We suppose this is why they have
50 much patience with them. We do not
know why churches should be closed on
week days; most of the sins are committed
on those days. and this is why Christian
influence ought to be at work at all hours.
East Main street is the only street in
the city where people can get married and
then step in and furnish the house from
cellar to attic, and take car at the door
and go to any part of the city. We expect
to be in our new quarters in a very few
days, when We will show line of goods
such as has never been seen in city of
this size. Waterbury will be headquarters
for House Furnishing Goods for 20 miles
around.

Creeks Become Raging Rivers.

RUsHFoRD, n. Y, May 21.-The Genesee
valley is again the scene of flood fully
equal to the great freshet of June. 1889,
and the loss to the farmers on the lowlands
cannot be estimated. Acres and acres OF
crops are washed out completely, and miles
of fencing have gone down stream. Many
farms are badly cut up by the raging
waters.
At Oramel, Craford creek was noun.
tain torrent, washing out the highway
and undermining the foundations of farm.
houses. The creek overtiowed into the old
canal basin, which burst through the EN-.
bankment of the Western New York and
Pennsylvania railroad. Several houses be,
tween Caneadea and Oramel were sur.
rounded by the water before the occupants
got out.
At Houghton the creek overlooked and
made river of Main street, filling cellars
and carrying off all loose property. Be,
low Houghton, near the site of the old lat
tice bridge, the river went-cyer the banks
and washed out the track g the Western
New York and Pennsylvania railroad a
long distance. The water around several
houses at this point was up to the lower
stills of the windows. At Fillmore, Cold
creek took off the highway bridge, and
families were taken from their homes in
wagons in the lower part of the town. AT
Rushford two creek bridges were washed
away and below the town on Rushford
creek three more. The roads in many places
are under water and washed out so badly
that they are impossible.

East Clean looks like a vast lake. Nc
teams have been able to pass along the
Boardmanville road from East Olean since
Sunday afternoon. The tracks of the Boil
ivar route are under water for five miles
and will probably be washed away in
places, as a swift current is running all
alone this line.
The Electric Street Railway company
has abandoned all the cars on its different
lines. The Erie has abandoned all trains
on the western division, as well as all
trains on the Western NewY ork and Penn
sylvania. The Sunday special from Buff
falo only got as far as Hinsdale and had
to return to Buffalo, being unable to get
here on account of bridge being gone
Numerous washouts are reported in sew
eral directions, and from present reports
no trains will run for several days.
At Portville the streets are submerged,
and people are being driven from theil
homes. Merchants have been forced to
take their goods off the floor and pile them
on the counters and upon boxes and bar
rels.
At Port Allegany the water is higher
than in 1880, and at Coudersport, which is
the head waters of the Allegany river, the
water is fully as high as five years ago,
and it is still raining hard. 1t will take
fully Is hours for Clean to get this heavy
water from these points, and before this
everything will be swept away that was
reached by the great June flood of 1889.

Commonwealers In Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, Ky, May 2l.-A detach-
ment of Coxey commonwealers arrived
here, 81 strong. This is the first of the
army ever in this state. They came up the
Kentucky river on the steamer Little
Sandy from Madison, Ind, where they had
camped several days, having separated
from General Frye's army at Cincinnati.
The army applied to the city authorities
and were furnished food and shelter for
the night on condition that they would
leave town today. The army will go to
Lexington from here, passing through Vir-
ginia on it's way to Washington.

SOLID TARIFF WORK.
The Senate Expects to Make Good Progress
This Week,


WASHINGTON, May 21.-The senate began
the seventh week of the discussion of the
tariff bill today at 10 o'clock by taking up
the metal schedule, and the prospect now
is that the entire week will be devoted tc
the tariff without attempting any other
business than that which can be done in
. the first half hour of tie daily sessions
and possibly an occasional brief executive
session after O'Clock FOR the disposition
of uncontested nominations.
Senator Harris reaffirmed his intention
of pressing the bill forward as rapidly as
1t may be possible to do so, but he said he
had no idea of any attempt to extend the
daily sessions beyond o'clock SO long as
the work should go on as satisfactorily as
1t Is going at present.
He expressed the opinion that the Re
publican senators who have been opposing
the bill and apparently seeking to delay its
passage had decided to change their pol
icy and to let the bill proceed upon its pas
sage after giving the various items of diff
ference the attention demanded by theil
merits, and he instanced the fact, noticea
BILE on Friday and Saturday, that there
had been decided cessation of long
speeches tnd of roll calls as we'll.
This change in the course of those oppo-
nents of the bill who have sought to put
obstacles in the way of It's progress tha
Democrats attribute to the two facts that
their opponents have discovered that they
mean to pass the bill, and that the Repub
hcan conferences of the past week have
developed Il divided sentiment in the Re
publican party on the question of delay,
with, as they lhink, majority opposed to
all di1atory tactics.
Senator Aiu,ich expresses the opinion
that the week will be sDpnt upon the metal
and wooden schedules, and he says the dis.
cussion will go on much as it has during
the past week; that the Republicans will
allow some of the items of the bill to &C
unchanged, and they will ask eXplana-
tons and give their opinions of changes
made in others.
Senator Hill, who has been absent since
the consideration of the schedules was be-
gun, was expected to be in his seat today.

PHILADELPHIA Felt 1t.

PHILADELPHIA, May 21.-The present
storm is the most severe for years. There
had been rainfall of nearly three inches
up to IL o'clock last night. There has
been a rise of four feet in the Schuylkill
river, and the river is running over the
wall.
Nearly all the clubhouscs on the banks
of the Schuylkill have been flooded, and
tables and chairs are floating around in
the second stories.
The storm in Delaware bay is the most
severe that has been experienced for a long
time. Not one of the tank boats which ar
rived at this city has been able to reach
Its loading berth at Point Breeze.
Pilot Louis Sayre, who came up in
charge of the British steamer Manhattan,
says the storm in the lower bay is as severe
as any he has experienced for years. The
Cohocksink sewer on Germantown avenue,
below Girard avenue, caved in, and 80 feet
of the street were carried away. Another
city sewer at Third street and Montgom-
cry avenue also burst, carrying away
about 40 feet ofNthe street.
