THREE TRAINS HELD Up.
Two stopped by . Tramp and the
Third by . Cow.

The Pennsylvania railroad had three
hold-ups between this city and PhiIadel-
phia all occurring Yesterday within one
hours time. The express due to pass
Kline stltlon at 81 was com
ing southwark at the rate Of
about i,ry-fve miles an hour,
when the engineer saw an individual Of
the class styled tramp standing immoya-
BILE in the centre Of the track. Visions
Of loosened rail, landslide or any other
old thing in the wreck producing line
danced before his eyes. He quick Y
brought the train to a standstil and the
conductor fastened forward to the heroic
rescucr, while the ilagman grasped his
flags and torIi.docs and started on run
for hi- station two bundled wards t. the
rear. But to the conductors intense
disgust and rage the supposed re-cncr
replied when asked why he stopped the
train, 80, nothing; Just wanted to see
You stop it," He made his escape
though the crew OF the train would
have liked to annihilated him.
The engineers recall signal forth flag
man was given in such vicious manner
that the harman nearly bursted Il blood
vessel getting back to his train.
The express which is due at the same
point about S.O7, had an exactly similar
experience, being held up in the same
way by a tramp Of the same description.
To cap the climax the northbound ex-
press, due about o'clock to pass Clay
mont, was stopped by lazy looking
COW, which ambled uncOncerncdlv along
ahead of the engine and refused to get
off the track, though the engineer had
all the babies in Claymont scared almost
into fits by his discordant footing. The
fireman finally drove her If with a
shovel.

ing. Among the most prominent was
the trip on the steamer Ukiah around
the bay to the Golden Gate, the Cliff
House overlooking the Pacific, Gold
en- Gate Park, and the e. S. mint.
These places and many others were

THE WESTERN FLOOD.

The president sent the following
message to the Senate and House of
representatives, April 9TH:
Informa ton which has recently
come to me from the governors of
Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana,
and from prominent citizens of these
states and Tennessee warrants the
conclusion that widespread distress,
involving the destruction of large
amount of property and loss of hu-
man life, has resulted from the floods
which have submerged that section of
the country. These are stated on re-
liable authority, to be the most de-
structive foods that ever devastated
the Mississippi valley, the water be-
ing higher than the highest stage it
has reached before.
From Marion, Ark, north of Mem
phis, to Greenville, Miss, distance
of more than 25O miles by river, it is
reported there are now at least 30
towns and villages under water; and
a territory extending from 100 miles
north of Memphis, to 200 miles south
and from five to forty miles wide is
submerged. Hundreds of thousands
of acres of cultivated soil with grow
ing crops are included in the sub
merged territory. In this section
alone there are from $4,000 to 10000
people whose property has been de-
stroyed and whose business has been
suspended. Growing crops have been
ruined, thousands Of cattle have been
drowned, and the Inhabitants of GER
tain areas threatened with starvation.
AS a great majority of the sufferers
are small farmers, they have thus
been left entirely destitute and will
be unprepared for work even after
the floods have subsidized. The entire
Mississippi valley in Arkansas is
flooded and communication with many
points cut off, In Mississippi a like
condition exists. The levees in Louis
lana, with a single exception, have
held, but the water is rising and the
situation There is reported as being
extremely critical.
Under these circumstances the citi-
zens Of these states look for the CO.
operation and support of the national
government in relieving the pressing
cases of restitution for food, clothing
and shelter, which are beyond the
reach of local efforts. The authori
ties who have communicated with the
executive recognize that their first
and most energetic duty is to provide
for their own citizens; but nearly all
ofthemsagree in the opinion that af
ter their resources have been ex-
hausted sum aggregating at least
$3.50, 900 and possibly 100000 will be
required for immediate use.
