FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
High Water Doing Damage Along
the Junjata.

Altoona, Pa, May 3.-Heavy and con-
tinuous rains of the past three day
have swollen the mountain streams Of
Central Pennsylvania to an unusual de-
gree. The Juniata River has gone up
eighteen ct and is still rising.
The fertile Juniata Valley is covered
with water i'll many places, and the loss
to crops will be large. The RayStown
Branch, which takes its rise into the noun
tains southwest of here, is particularly
high, and farmers along its course are
heavy sufferers from loss of barns. out
buildings, fences and growing grain The
body of an unkno wn maii was found lodged
in the debris this morning below Hunt
ingdon.
Altoona's reservoir system was Sc
verely damaged by the washing out of the
big flood channel during the night. Gangs
OF men are at work trying to check the
damage. Bridges along Bald Eagle Creek
are threatened. Rain is still falling, and
it is feared the worst is yet to come.

Newport, K. l.. May 3.-The court-mar-
tial of Paymaster John Z. COrwine, L. s.

also that he made false reports in his ac-
counts In that about March l he repre-
sented to Pay Director Schench that there
was a balance to his credit in the Sub
treasury at Boston OF $21, ,510.72 when
there was only S11, ,51O.72: also that lie
absconded aud was therefore guilty of
conduct unbecoming an officer, and also
he deserted from the naval station about
March /, 1897.
To each specification Payrnaster Corwine
form, he was warned OF the consequences
of such plea, he said he would persist IN
il. The court adjourned, as the Judge ad-
vocate, in view OF the plea. would offer
no testimony.
Tomorrow Paymaster Corwine viii be
allowed to make statement III which he
will state that he is really the victim of
another's stealings, and that while isis

amounted TO $50, 900. he had reduced it to
$4,000, and expected to make it good
entirely.
Faymaster Corwine will thus throw him
self on the mercy OF court most of the
members of which have known him for
years.

taken by Paymaster Corwine was today
made good with the surety company Of
New York, who were on his bond.
