M SAINT PAUIM

Boss Reinhart have made the boom here
as secure as possible. President Payne
states that all indications point to a
twenty tiye-foot flood here. which will
reach its height about II or IL O'Clock
tonight. Elias Deemer and other eX-
perieuced lumbermen agree with this
forecast. In this event, the city as far
north as Market square, embracing the
main business section, will be flooded.
TRAIN SERVICE SUSPENDED.
The rain at IL p. m. Is coming down
in heavy sheets. the wind is blowing
furiously, and the river is rising at the
rate of foot an hour. 1t is now twenty
three feet above low water mark. The
lower part of the city is flooded, the
water having overflowed the banks in
the central part of the city, and the
streets in the upper end are under
water. The Reading railroad tracks
through the city are flooded, and no
more trains can be run on that road un-
til the water subsidies. People in the
low lands are rapidly moving to places
of safety. There is danger of break
of the big boom, which contains 17,000.-
900 feet of logs. Gratfius run went on
another rampage all hour ago, and has
spread over larger territory than
when it overflowed its banks this after
noon.
AT MIDNIGHT,
with the rain still falling, the river has
overflowed its bank in the central part
OF the city. and the water is rushing up
Market street and out to Third and
Fourth streets, in the business
parts of the city, where the
cellars are now full of water.
The present height of the flood Is
twenty four feet, aud it is estimated
that it will reach twenty-seven feet
from the present rainfall. But as the
rain shows no signs Of abating, it is
feared that tomorrow may bring more
elements of danger. Lycoming creek,
which brings more water from the
north, has been in good con-
dition all day, but at this time
it is bank-full and coming up
rapidly. 1t comes in at the upper end
Of tie city and was the principal source
of danger in 1889. The height Of the
rive then turned it out of its course
and emptied it in from the north Of the
city, and it is feared that this may be a
repetition of that disaster.

AQUEDUCT IN DANGER,
And the People Nervous Over the
Prospect,

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 20. The iron
bridgsel at Mill Creek, Mapletown and
Nc Veytown were swept away today by
the high waters of the Juniata river. At
an aqueduct, fifteen miles from this
city, the river is rising rapidly, and
grave fears are felt for the safety of the
aqueduct. People on the other side of
the river are moving their furniture to
the upper floors. Live stock has been
taken to high ground. The Juniata IS
nearly as high as in the freshet OF 1889,
and at 10 O'Clock was rising at the rate
of eighteen inches an hour, and people
along its banks are moving out on the
hills. The Susquehauna is also rising
rapidly.

THE REPORTS DENIED.
News of Importance to the Rail-
road Men.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March o.
The Commercial of today says
Drexel Morgan & Co. are not try
ing to get the Louisville Sou thern
for the Richmond Terminal sys-
tenn so much as for the Cheasa-
peake and Ohio railway. The
Cincinnati Southern is so
far removed from the main
system that 1t could not
be considered a part OF
the Richmond Terminal. The lead
ing Southern bondholders know
this, but they do not all know or
even suspect the extent OF the
scheme now on foot. The Wander
bildts are backing the syndicate
that is backing the reorganization
Of the Richmond Terminal, so far
as this reorganization has any
backing under modified plans.
The Vanderbildts own the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Chesapeake
and Ohio. The Baltimore and Ohio
runs into st. Louis, thence through
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which
is controlled by Vanderbilt, runs
to Texas, connecting about 100
miles west of Houston with the
Southern Pacific, private property
of G. p. Huntington. DreXel Nor
gan & Co, are now reOTganiZing
the air line (Mackey system) with
a view 10 putting it, In the Wander
bildt system. AS soon as this Is
plished the Chesapeake and
Ohio will only back the Louisville
Southern. The Chesapeake and
Ohio now run into Louisville from
Lexington, over the Louisville
and Nashville track. The &C
QUESTION of the Southern would
bring them into Louisville, by
route twelve miles shorter than by
the Louisville and Nashville. 1t
is perfectly plain that DrPxel
Morgan & Co., who are merely
agents of the Vauderbildts want
the Southern "Bad," but they want
it as cheap as possible.
Should they force the fore
closure and sale OF the Louisville
and Nashville might gather it in,
and this would force the Chesa-
peake and Ohio to use its tracks, or
build a third line from Lexington
to Louisville, that would cost three
and a half to four millions, and
never could be made to pay. The
Louisville Southern Is therefore a
necessity of the grand Vanderbilt,
Chesapeake and Ohio trans-Conti.
mental system.

DESPERATE BURGLARS.
Mr.. Bonny Beaten Badly in the
Face Before His Assailsnts
Fled


New ORLEANS, La, March o.
The sensation Of the day in Carroll.
ton yesterday was the attempted
robbery, and the brutal beating Of
Mr.. P. G. Bonny the nigt before.
The manner in which the burglars
broke into the house Of an aged
man, and armed with a heavy
druggists mortar, attempted to beat
him into insensibility, and prob
ably to murder him, was the all
absorbing topic Of conversation.
The arrest of two young men,
who are charged with the commits
sion of the crime, only added to the
excitement, especially as there is
strong circumstantial evidence
against one, and probably both OF
them. When the two burglars
were frightened Off the night be-
fore by Mr.. VIM. Appel, in their
haste one of them left his hat, and
when found yesterday slip OF
paper is said to have been discov-
cred in it which bore the names OF
Jack Hopkins and George Meek.
The two men were arrested yes
terday and arraigned in the Third
Recorders court and were commit
ted to the parish prison without
the benefit of bail.
