Burned All Tax REGENTS.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. ga big
bonfire of tax receipts and applica-
tions for the orders for the payment
of delinquent taxes has presented
any publicity that might arise from
an investigation of the records of
Allegheny County to show to what
extent political organizations pay the
delinquent taxes of voters. The
burning of these documents and pa
pers was ordered by the County Com
mission ers.
1t was now impossible to tell how
many delinquent taxes having been
paid during the year, the total omount
Of money received at the Office of the
delinquent tax collector, who present.
ed applications or orders for the pay
ment of these taxes, and who receiv-
ed receipts for them. The books now
show only the delinquent taxes paid
since the November election.
In justification of the Delinquent
Tax Collector Conner said: sit is i'm.
possible to keep the documents, be-
cause Of the bulk and the space re-
quired In filing them. Besides, 1t
would be dangerous. as somebody
might steal the orders or the bank
receipts and TINS secure an oppoltu-
nifty to make way for a lot of fraudu-
lent votes -

Philadelphia, Dec. 30.-Not since
the memorable freshet Of May 2l,
1894, has the Schuylkill River been
so high as it was this morning, and
at 10 O'Clock the water was still ris-
ing and threatening to reach the
height reached seven years ago, when
several feet Of water washed over
the tracks at the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad station at Twenty-fourth
and Chestnut streets and caused
many hundred thousand dollars dam
age further up the river.
At 10 o'clock reports from Mana.
yunk and at the Paramount Pumping
Station were that the river Is rising
at the rapid rate Of four inches an
hour, and that terrific rainfall Of yes
terday and last night throughout the
entire Schuylkill Valley will cause the
river to continue rising all day,
OEvery mill in Manayunk is idle to
day, all being flooded. In 'usands Of
people worked hard all night trying
to save property from the flood, which
they knew would not abate for at
least "a hours,
Mill employees whose homes were
not in any danger went to their places
of employment and assisted in mov-
ing goods to upper floors. The streets
near the river were soon transformed
into raging streams
In West Manayunk the River
road is more than four feet under
water, and the cellars OF many of
the houses are flooded, and 10

the frat floors. Several Of the resi-
dents moved out their belongings to
