TO The WORLD
The City Shut Off from Outside Com
munication - Angry Citizens
Shoot at Big Steamboats,.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Wheeling. w. Va, April 2l.-'rhc riv-
er tonight was forty-one feet four
inches and rising two inches an hour.
The top notch is expected in an hour
or two. with less than forty-two feet.
This stage shuts Wheeling entirely out
of outside communication by rail and
only the big Cincinnati liners are able
to run now. and irate residents along
the rivers banks are firing frequently
at the boats, because the swell from
them is washing the foundations away
from their houses.
In Wheeling, Belaire, Bridgeport,
Benwood and Martins Ferry about 800
houses have been entered by the wat
er, most of the families moving to the
upper floors Nearly every manufac-
turing establishment in tn, Wheeling
district is shut down and cannot re-
sumo until Tuesday. At Martins Fer
ry the water destroyed 100000 brick at
the Belmont Brick company, entailine
IL loss of $4,000 to 100000. There are
smaller losses at other plants aggre-
eating probably $4,000. Taking the
loss to business, railroad landslides
and industrial losses the aggregate cost
of the flood in this district is at least
100000, probably more.
Above Martins Ferry, James Ford,

completed. The sidewalk is made of
iron plates and on the outer edge Of
the structure running from the Dix
building we'll up along the canaan
street embankment is u substantial
iron fence. Contractor Moran has fin
ished the concreting on the east sidc
of the street railway. and this part Of
the bridge is now open for traffic.
On Saturday the wooden stringers
gave place to iron ones under the ear
track. Street car traffic is now inter-
rupted at that point and three of the
trolley cars are north of the bridge.
The crews of these cars find consid
cradle difficulty in making their trips
on schedule time and there is consid-
cradle confusion on that section.
When the iron stringers are all in
place it will not take long to finish
up the work on the west side of tn,
bridge. The concrete will be put in
and as quickly as possible the paving
work will be done without stopping
traffic.

They Attended the Berean Baptist
Church Last Night-The Sermon

The various orders of odd Fellows
of this city and vicinity commemorated
the seventy-cighth anniversary of the
institution Of the society by attending
divine services last evening at the
Berean Baptist church. Among the
lodges which attended Carbondale can
ton, No. 40, patriarchS' Militant. at
tracted attention by their handsome
uniforms
Rev. II. j. Whalen, -. d., delivered
the sermon. The same minister
preached the annual sermon last year.
Last evening DR.. Whalen based his
remarks on two passages of scripture
first taking for the foundation of the
address "'The Great Commission" as
recorded in Matthew xviii: 1920,
and the parable of the Good Samari
tan, recorded in Luke Y: 25-37.
In his address he defined the rcla-
tive places of the church and the
lodge in the redemption of humanity
and said that to the church. first, has
been specially committed the special
work and care Of organized charity in
cdenta1 to the spiritual work. The
lodge as a natural outgrowth of our
Christian civilization is the hand
maiden of the church. carrying for
ward that work taught in the parable
of the Good Samaritan. The church
and the lodge are not rivals. but both
are engaged in the work of bettering
humanity. the one being necessary to
the other. The lodge exists only un-
der the caves of the church. The
church prospers best where she has
the cooperation of the lodge.
The doctor said tnat, while the
church does do Il good deal of charit-
able work, it's mission is purely spirit
ual and that the organization Of lodges
Is necessary to finish the charita BILE
purposes tnat the church is unable to
attend to.

THE INAUGURAL BALLS.

Viewed in any light, it is mucE to
be depiored that the colorod men of
Washington, young and old, who di
rect the social activities of our people
in this city, could not have unanimous
Iy Joined hands to make the social side
of the inaugural ceremonies a splendid
success, SO IT as concerns the cOlored
visitors to our city on that Occasi ID.
When it was first made known that an
effort would be made by representative
citizens to repeat the successful enter
tainment of four years ago. and that
81 liar effort would be made by a
highly respectable organization of
young men of the city TO give similar
entertainment on the same evening,
namely, March 9th, it immediately be.
came the pr ject of several we'll known
gentlemen, friendly to both sides, tn
bring about such harmony of feeling
between them as would result in unis
ed effort on the part of both tp give
one entertainment which should, in the
completeness of its d tails, the perfec
ton of its plan and the elegance of its
tout en- semble, represent the best that
there is in the hospitality and good
cheer f our community But this
proved dream ouly The two sides
dritted so far apart that harmony prov
I'd absolutely impossible and the ONLY
alternative was that, since each seemed
determined each side had to follow It's
own plan. The result is that there
will be tWO public entertainments by
our cOloIed citizens on the nigh OF
March 9th, each vieing with the other
to make the finer showing.
One will be under the auspices Of
the Cosmos Club and It's honorary
members at the Builders Exchange
hall where the Citizens Committee
held their en'ertainn ent four year:
ago, and the other will be held on tht
same evening ST the Washington Ligh
Infantry ArmOry on 9th Street, n. W
where many Of the finest social func
tIons OF the city have been held. The
Citizens Committee, as their name i'm
plies, are making their effort In tn
name, and for the social pleasure, o
the citizens of Washington and thei
visiting friends, without regard to an
limitation or distinction except that 0
personal resectabilitY. They claim tha
in an entertainment of the scope an'
character OF an inaugural ball they cal
at least afford to act upon lines as lib
eral and as cosmopolitan as those lait
down by the National Inaugural Com
mi'tee which make absolutely no dis
tinctiOn at all in tie persons TO whom
they sell tickets for the National Inau
gural Ball.
Each entertainment is of6cered b
men of char tcter and responsibility
and We trust that between the two th
public will have ample opportunity t
''tri p the light fantastic toe" on th
levening of March 9th.
