eager crowds here, which included Rear
Admiral Sicard, elderly captains, and

THE RECEDING FLOOD.

The Water Went Down Very Slowly, Yes
terday Business Men and Residents
Hard at Work-Straig htening Things Up,
The Losses.
The flood took its beautiful time in
Preceding, yesterday. Two causes
combined to bring about the slow de-
cline: one was the more than bank
full condition of the river below
Wheeling; the other was the swell
out of the Monongahela, which, while
not sufficient to cause a further rise at
Pittsburg, was enough to cheQA, up the
fall, and in some quarters stild FOR a
short time, to cause a little apprehen-
sion. Very fortunately what fears
were raised of further freshet were
not realized, but the flood went down
all day and night at a rate which was
exasperatingly slow to the hundreds of
people whose property had been in
undated for two days and nights. Up
to noon yesterday the fall was but 2
feet inches from the top notch OF

Of a little over two inches an hour.
This decline, small as it was, was still
sufficient to clear all the streets in

exception of about Main and South
streets, where there was still good

Circus in town, That expression is
enough to make sick boy rise up in
bed and commence to plead for money
enough to take it all in. He must have
peanuts, some red lemonade, he insists
on visiting the side show, and he wants
to stay to see the concert. and as a
rule he generally succeeds in crafty
ing his wishes. Leon W. Washburn' s
big circus, museum, menagerie and
hippodrome is coming to town, and if
even half the promises are kept, he
will certainly give the public the worth
of their oney. The list of equestri-
ans, tumblers. acrobats. arealists and
juggiers. is large and varied, and some
startling novelties are announced.
