FOUR BURNED TO DEATH
AND OTHERS SO SERIOUSLY INJURED
THEY MAY NOT RECOVER.
Evil Resort and n "Speak Easy" Fired
by West Virginians Because the
Inmates Would Not Vacate.

WHEELING, w. Va, Feb. 23.-Intelli-
gence has just reached here of a terrible
calamity which occurred Saturday night in
the interior of Tyler county by which a
number of persons were terribly injured
and several lost their lives. In one of the
interior oil fields there has been a speak
easy" and sporting house which incurred
the i'll will of the people living in that sec
ton, and, according to the story which
reached here last evening, a number of at
tempts have been made To eradicate the
places, but all TO no avail. On the night in
question number of the male popula tion
of the little village went TO the two houses.
which are located side by side, and, after
warning the inmates of what was going to
be done, applied torch to the structures
The people OF the houses had made no. effort
to leave and consequently when the fire
started they were not prepared TO get out
as quickly as was necessary under the cir
cumstances. One or two girls i'm the sport
ing house are reported to- have been burned
in the house and two men are said to have
lost their lives i'm the 'speak-easy." In ad-
dition to this it is positively known that "a
number of people were terribly burned,
some of them SO badly that il is not be-
lieved that they can recover. The names
of those who are reported TO have been
burned to death I'm the fire are:
STELLA WOODS, of Pitsburg
ANNA JOHNSON, of Columbus.
JOHN JACKSON, of Pennsylvania.
FRANK STEWART. of Indiana
The men were both workers i'm the oil
fields and at the time of the fire were sleep
ing in their rooms over the ''speak-easy."
The names OF the persons who were serious
ly burned by the flames in their endeavor
to escape from the buildings cannot be
learned, but it is known that there were
five or six of them.

Railways Using the Central Depot at
Cincinnati Forced to Abandon that
Structure Last Night.
STAGE PROBABLE
AS THE RIVER CONTINUES TO RISE
THREE INCHES AN HOUR.
Much Damage and Some Loss of Life
and at and Near Pittsburg.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 23.-Last night, in
the absence of news of the great cloud
burst at the headwaters of the Mononga-
hela river, no one dreamed the river here
would reach a maximum of over fifty-five
feet. Opinions changed to-day, when it
was learned that flood i'm the Allegheny
was coming down just late enough TO pile
in on that of the Monongahela. Tonight
the signal service observer here predicts
sixty feet will be reached at Cincinnati by
tomorrow night. At Q tonight the stage
here was fifty-four feet, three inches, rise
inches per hour Reports tonight from
points above show rapid rises from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati. However. the head
water streams are falling at Morgantown,
stationary at New River and at Elizabeth
on the Little Kanawha, falling at Louisa,
on the Big Sandy, and rising slowly at sew
eral other sources of tributaries.
At Catlettsburg, KY, one hundred houses
are more or less submerged and few more
feet will affect every business house in the
city. Cellars on Front and Third streets at
Portsmouth are flooded and many people
are driven from their dwellings. Portions
of Maysville, KY, and much of Aberdeen,
o.. are submerged, driving families from
their homes. on the Big Sandy river the
villages of East Point and Salyerville have
been made uninhabitable. 1t is reported
that a family of six were drowned at Sal
yerville. At Louisa, KY, all mails arc
stopped and all telephone wires are down
Here at Cincinnati and vicinity the towns
of Dayton and Bellevue and portions of
Newport, Ky, are already suffering much
inconvenience. Water in Cincinnati has in
vaded the Central depot and compelled the
Big Four and other roads to seek higher
grounds. Gardeners in Mill creek valley are
already losing heavily. If the river should
reach sixty feet the losses in all the places
mentioned above will be greatly increased.
At midnight the stage of water in the
Ohio here was fifty-four feet eleven inches
and the rate of rise nearly three inches per
hour. Three rolling mills in Newport. KY.
and one in Cincinnati have been closed by
the flood. 1t will require much greater
rise than is expected TO cut off any of the
railroads entering the city. All of them
have higher grade than they had in 1854.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 23.-The river is ris-
ing at the rate of two inches an hour and
has reached the stage of twenty-four feet.
The weather bureau predicts that there will
be thirty feet of water on the falls before
the rise subsidies. In this event Shipping
port is sure of wetting, and probably
there will be much damage done to the low
lands along the river front. Already the
occupants of houses along the river front
between Fourth and Seventh are seeking
higher ground.
Specials tonight report damage TO farm
property and log booms, but very little
loss OF life. Abe Reed. negro, was
drowned at Jackson, where the Kentucky
river is up thirty-eignt feet, flooding the
lower part OF the town. Farmer, Ky, is al
most entirely submerged. Jonas Tyree was
drowned in the Powell river near Donkey
vile. A special from Middlesboro says the
loss in southeast Kentucky will reach $780,
