she was killed still stands at Gettysburg

pointed out to interested travellers. The
house was the center of fierce fighting in
"tte Valley of Death" at Gettysburg.
Fifteen soldiers lay dead in the yard
after the first days fighting. On the
morning of July 3 Jennie said to her
mother:
IT will make biscuits for the soldiers If
you will start the fire in the big oven."
On the first day she had carried water
from the old well drawn up by a wind
lass and had replenished the canteens of
the union soldiers on the line. She had
not paused because strong men were be-
ing cut down all around her. On this
morning the soldiers had expressed a
wish for some food different from that
which came from the commissary de-
rartment. Jennie and her sister and her
mother set about to make biscuits for
them. AS she stood at the kitchen table
she was struck dead. Her mother never
recovered from the shock. The next day
she was given burial by the soldiers in
IA coffin prepared for soldier. She was

RIVERS LAST NIGHT;
PREDICTIONS FOR TODAY.

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
river situation at Pttsburg was some
what relieved last night. At 10 a. M,
after reaching a maximum stage of
27.5 feet. or SIS feet above the danger
lire, the Monongahela river began to
fall, and about .. m. the stage was
25.e feet, fall of 1.6 feet since morn
ing. The maximum stage reached in
the Allegheny river was 1856 feet.
Below Pttsburg the river was still
rising. At Wheeling, w. Va, about
noon, the river was 1.6 feet above the
danger line of 80 feet and rising, and
an extreme high water stage of at
least 4.3 feet was indicated during
Monday.
At Parkersburg the stage about 2
p. m. was 40 feet, four feet above the
danger line, and rise Of three feet
since a. m. A further rise to prob.
ably about 4s feet was expected dur
ing the "a hours following.
Below Parkersburg the knanwha,
Big Sandy and scoto were sending
out their flood volumes and at noon
the Ohio between Point Pleasant, w.
Va, and Cincinnati was rising one
half to one foot an hour, and rapidly
approaching or passing the danger
line at all points. At Cincinnati, about
p. M, the stage of the river was
42.4 feet, with every indication that
the danger line Of so feet would be
reached or exceeded by about Monday
noon.
II was still raining or showing over
the upper Ohio valley, and therefore
impossible to accurately predict the
time or the height of the flood crests
below Parkersburg, however, it was
expected, the danger lines would be
passed at all stations above cincin-
natl during last night, and still higher
stages prevail during Monday. Point
Pleasant, w. Va, at ? p. m. already
reported stage of AZ feet, or eight
feet above the danger line, due to the
kanawha river flood waters. Below
Cincinnati the Ohio will also rise rap.
idly during the next few days, and all
preparations should be made for a
dangerous flood :. :.

A Splendid Comedy.

April 24th, when he will introduce

edy Hello Bill This play has
met with an unmeasured amount or
success in most of the popular cities
OF the country. Had it happend to
be under the control of the big the
atrical syndicate, we would have
probably heard Of it enjoying run
of several hundred nights at some
leading New York Theater, but as it
is a private enterprise conducted
outside the pale of the Trust, it had
to be content with mere paltry fif
ty performances at the Bijou Theatre,
New York. 1t contains no special
ties, no horse play, no twaddle, but
is a sparkling, bright comedy, full
of ingenious complications, witty
lines, and containing that element of
spontaniety, capable of producing
infectious laughter.

ssHeile BILL

Hello Bill" the play which Man.
ager Swisher presents at the Opera
House Wednesday April Oath is one
of the few examples Of straightaway

uine, nor does it require the interpo=

plot it's laughter provoking quail
ties Although new here, the play
has been seen in nearly all the 9th
er leading cities of the country, ard
in no instances has it failed to iusti
fly the claims of its author, or the
promises Of its manager. It is
nodded in the same crucible that
gave birth to "The maneuvers of

the public. 1t is therefore to the
credit of the management of Hello

public attention lies in the absolute
purity of the play. From this it
must not be inferred that it's fun

but on the contrary, Manager, who

the statement that no funnier or

The flood is past and people have
begun to breathe easier. The way
that the rain came down for few
days and the way that the rivers and
other streams came up bid fair to re-
peat the flood of 1884 which is the
greatest on record.
But before the danger point was
fairly reached the rains slaekened and
the waters after standing for several
hours began TO fall. They fell slowly
as if angry at being checked of their
prey.
People living in all down river
towns were greatly alarmed. In parts
OF Pittsburg and Wheeling much
damage was done and it is said that
the total damage done by the storm
and the flood will reach into the mil
lions on down the river.
The railroads were hit worse than
anything else. The constant rains
brought down land slides in every di-
rectlon. All trains were delayed and
travel was slow ana dangerous. No

BARKER In WASHINGTON.
Well Known Morgantown Man Calls on
Mckinley and Creates Some Agita-

The following special has been re-
ceived from Washington
Sylvester Barker OF Morgantown.
w. Va, who claims to be the Duke
Of the United States, title which he
says was conferred upon him by presi-
dent Cleveland called at the White
House to-day To see President McKin-
ley. He had with him locust cane
which he wanted to present TO the
President, and incidentally he desired
TO collect sum OF money amounting
to several thousand dollars. The un-
fortunate man was placed In the care
of the police. He said he had spent
forty days in the Weston asylum but
had escaped. This he said, was five
years ago. He had several bank
books with him showing that several
years ago he had accounts aggregating
$12, 900 in two Morgantown banks.
Barker was once lumber dealer and
is Of prominent family. He will be
examined as to his sanity.
