AT BEbLAlRE.

Free From Water and Business to Be Cen
orally Resumed To-Morrow.
The food conditions at Bellaire
were greatly improved last night and
by the middle of the week things will
be running along as smoothly as
ever
AT an early hour this morning the
First and Seconds wards We're prac-
ticaIly free from the water and tho
majority Of the homes were occupied.
Street Commissioner Charles Satter-
field had force of men at work all
day yesterday cleaning up the debris,
and by night the food district was in
it's former good condition. Seven fam
lilies are still living in the city build
ing and are receiving aid from the
county authorities. The public schools
which were occupied by the flood suf-
ferers have been vacated, and will be
gotten into shape during the week for
their opening after the April Vaca-
tiCn is over
The first train into the city from
Cincinnati since Tuesday night over
the B. & 0. arrived yesterday. The
C.&& p. railroad is running trains on
regular time, but the B., z. & c. trains,
owing to a slip yesterday on the line
at Alledonia, o., are compelled to stop
east of that city and transfer the
passengers and baggage to the Pitts
burg coal works, about mile below
the city. From the coal works the
passengers and baggage are being
brought to the city in wagons The
c., l.. & w. railroad is still under
water at West Wheeling, but will be
in condition for traffic at that point.
Rodefer's glass factory and the Bell
aire bottle factory, which were inun-
dated, are now preparing 10 start up
in full Tuesday. The natural and illu-
minating gases are on in full pressure
and water has been turned on, and
the electric light plant will probably be
able to furnish the city with light this
evening The Crystal glass factory,
which employs a number Of men from
this city, will be in full operation
Tuesday. The soaking pits at the
steel plant were not SO badly dam
aged by the water as was at first
thought, and it is expected they will be
gotten into working order in time to
start the entire plant Thursday.
About the middle Of tt week all the
factories and mills will be running and
the entire city will have settled into
it's former state.

an immense sum, and viewed from TINS
standpoint the entire population, al
most, are flood sufferers.

D. m. the rate decreased to two lnches
an hour, and at four o'clock the. rate
of recession was four inches an houf.
The low rates of three and two inches
per hour in the fall of the stream was
due to the rise which prevailed along
the MonongaheIa river Friday. The
swell in the Monongahela has ex-
hausted itself. as was shown by the
early morning reports received yes
terday at the wharfboat, and as the
water is falling at all upper points
there is nothing now to check the faii
and the river will be going down a,
lively rate to-day.
The river has already dropped TO a
reasonable stage and within couple
of days she viii be running along AZ
her normal height,
Both the w. & e. G. and P, c., Z.
G. St. L. tracks along Water street
are free from water. but it is not likely
that the wharf will be sufficiently un-
covered for business until Monday
The plank of the wharfbCat is now
resting at the bottom of the p, c., Z.
& st. L. railroad wall and will be
gradually towed out with the fall of
the water. Very little business was
transacted at the wharfboat yester-
day and the quietness was in striking
contrast with the several preceding
days, and especially Friday, when the
boats resumed their trips.
The water deposited mud to the
depth OF about six inches along Water
street and the crews of the different
boats passing in and out during the
day were compelled to serape foot
path in order to take on the freight
and passengers The daily report re-
ceived yesterday at the wharfboat
Headquarters is as fellows:
Pittsburgh feet 4 inches, falling.
Oil City feet, falling.
Parker SIS feet inches, falling
Morgantown-16 feet 6 inches, fall
ing.
Greensboro-16 feet 4 inches. falling.
Brownsville-21 feet 5 inches, fall
ing.
The towboat Rob Roy landed at
the wharf between 5 and o'clock last
evening, and remained long enough to
find herself hard aground, owing to
the falling river, just before Z o'clock.
She succeeded in pulling out about
7:15 o'clock with considerable difficulty
and continued on her down trip.
Considerable attention from people
about the landing was attracted.

steps, porches, out buildings. and all
that sort of thing.
The mud all over the Island was
simply terrific, Yesterday, particularly
ON the lower ground and in cellars.
In many eases the receding water left
fully three inches of yellow slime,
Which could not be moved except by
the aid of street hose, and where the
water was in houses the result was
particularly disheartening to the fe-
male portion of the population. Still,
great progress was made yesterday in
removing this sediment, and even to-
day there will be a great deal of work
done in the direction of cleaning up.
Many gas and water pipes were dis
connected during the flood, and plumb
ors were in great demand yesterday,
throughout the flooded district AS a
rule, however, the gas and domestic
water supply held out in fine shape,
and the discomfort from this source
was reduced to minimum.
Yesterday Register reporters took a
number Of measurements between the
highest stage Of water and the high
point reached in the flood of 1891, and
it was found that this year the maxi
mum was from four and one-half to
six inches less than in the year named.
One notable instance where an exact
measurement could be made was at the
office of W. A. List, on Main street,
near South, and the difference was
scant six inches, which verified the
record of the Register and knocked the
1ntelligencer's idea that there was more
water in 1888 than in 1891 cold. Other
similar measurements were to the same
general effect, and they We're taken
both on the Island and in the city.
There was general feeling of thank
fulness all over the city yesterday that
the food was no worse. and most peo-
pie were satisfied that they escaped SO
luckily.
Last night some of the wholesale
houses had men working until mid
night removing merchandise from
Fourteenth street. east Of Market, and
this morning will show that a good
many barrels and boxes have been la
ken from that particular street Many
valuable goods are still piled along the
sidewalks, however, and will not be
removed before tomorrow night.

People There Complaining About Failure
of Authorities to Clean Streets After the
Flood.
The water was very slow IN leaving
Benwood, and last evening in some
places it remained a couple of feet
deep. Sixth street was still covered
and in Upper Benwood the water had
not left the streets. 1t went out of the
majority Of the houses, however, on
Friday night. Vrey little damage, ex-
cept to out building, fences, etc, &C
Cured in this town. The water was
in both the Riverside and lower Ben
wood mills, but so far as could be
learned, had damaged none of the ma
chinery. The report was circulated
yesterday that the soaking pits in the
Riverside steel works had been crack
ed by the water reaching them while
they were heated, but this report could
not be confirmed. Both of Benwood' $
industries will resume Monday. A great
deal of complaint was heard at Ben
wood yesterday about the failure Of the
street commissioner to make an effort
to clean the streets after the water had
gone down. Although mud and debris
was piled deep everywhere nothing
was done towards getting the STREETS in
a respectable condition.

LITTLE ACTUALLOSS
Reported in the Wholesale and ,yobb.,e
District

htPotteu III TIC wholesale and ,yOhbk-3R
District
Register reporters yesterday inter-
viewed large number of bushes men
as TO the extent of the loses by the
flood. AS a result it was found, as ap-
pretended, that the actual loss of
goods and merchandise was very
small; but the loss through the en-
forced removal of stocks and the ces-
sation of business was large, although
not Of, nature to be even approx
mately estimated. In three or four
cases there were an actual damage to
merchandise, but it was comparatively
slight, in no single case exceeding four
or five hundred dollars, and it is prob
able that couple Of thousand dollars
will cover all losses Of this nature in
the wholesale and jobbing district. The
collateral losses, through removing
goods to places of safety, carting them
back, and the suspension of business
will reach almost any figure you
please. Whether it will foot up s20,-
900 or $4,000 is a mere matter OF opin-
ion, and the actual result will never be
ascertained.
The result of inquiries is here ap-
pended:
Richard Donahue. jeweler-No loss
of stock; but business suspended and
over a foot of water on the first floor.
John Klari, druggist-No damage to
stock; business suspended and about
six inches of water on store floor.
Baer's Sons Grocery Company-No
loss except that arising from removal
of goods and suspension of business.
John A. Zorn, assignee of r. K. Gift
fin, agricultural implements, etc.-No
damage to stock; some loss from sus-
pension Of business and removal of
goods.
Counihan Bros, grocers specialties,
etc.-No loss to stock; loss from sus-
pension of business and removal of
goods.
George S. Feeny Co.. wholesale gro
ceries and confectionery-Stoc all
right: 2 feet II inches of water on first
floor: loss from damage to fixtures, re-
moval Of goods and stoppage of bust
ness.
w. A. List, steel roofing, etc.-Loss
to stock probably $500; water in the
store about two feet and half deep,
almost six inches less by actual marks
than the flood Of 1891.
Henry Bieberson, cafe-No loss ex-
cept trouble.
Caldwell & Peterson Manufacturing
Company, manufacturers of ceilings,
roofing, etc.-Loss to stock perhaps
$500: several cars of material escaped
by about an inch and half; loss con-
siderable from stoppage and necessity
of removing goods.
Schaffer & Driehorst, wines and IL
quors-No loss to stock: water on first
floor, but not in office.
Jacob Snyder's Sons, jcbbers in iron
and steel-No loss to stock.
