Or Suffering Resulting From the
FIood-Mayor Sweeney and Chief
Ritz Make an Investigation.
Wheeling is not calling upon outside
assistance for flood sufferers nor has
there been cali for subscriptions in
the city. Several citizens have inquired
of the Register for information concern
ing any distress which may exist for the
purpose of making contributions to as
sist the needy There are very few
cases of distress, anu none of them are
a. all aggravated.
Mayor Sweeney has been making a
thorough investigation along this line.
Yesterday he made tour of the entire
inundated district in comapny with City
Sergeant John S. Ritz. When the Off
Gals returned Chief Ritz detailed four
or five extra men for duty on the Island
last night.
The Mayor found but two cases of
distress, and one of them of such a
uOuULlul CldIdCuSI LudC u6 SldTtCu al
investigation during the day. One APP
parently deserving case was brought to
light in the Second ward market hall.
where a family of husband and wife and
several children were in destitute cir
cumstances and were compelled to va
cate the hall last night on account of a
ball being given. The case was looked
after.
At st. Joseph's Convent the Sisters in
charge have been giving food to num-
Der of families that are suffering. The
Mayor called at the convent and learn
ed that number of worthy cases are
being looked after there
Senator Scott yesterday wired con-
tribution of 5000, and many citizens are
ready to contribute to the relief of food
sufferers If there is any necessity there
for.

THE SOUTH SIDE.
The Damage Done There Very Light
A Busy Scene Last Evening and
NIGHT.


The South Side presented a busy
scene yesterday and last night, with the
residents, by the aid of lamp and can
die light, hard at work with mop aud
brooms folowing UP the rapidly re-
treating water and washing out the
mud. Although several hundred resi-
dences in this end of the city were en-
tered and three times as many had the
water IN the cellars, the loss is very
light. The loss to the industrial plants
will all be small as they all had plenty
of time to prepare to receive the water.
From alley 10 On Main street to
Thirty-first street the water was one
continuous stretch yesterday morning
and extended back into the city for
distance Of three, four and five blocks.
At Twenty-third and Market streets
the water reached depth of nearly
two feet on the floor of Harry Schultzs
grocery and all the dwellings in the
immediate vicinity had a correspond
ing amount of water on the first floor.
At Twenty-seventh and Market streets
the water reached a depth of three.
four and five feet in the first floors
ard the average was on a level with
the window stills. At Twenty-seyenth
street the water came within sixteen
feet of Chapline street and at Twenty
eight street few more inches would
have put it over Eoff street. When at
the highest the water covered both the
Chapline and Eoff street bridges across
Caldwells run and pedestrians were
forced 10 go UP to the Wood street
bridge to cross.
At Thirty-third street the water
reached even with the top of the base
course of the foundation of the Wood
Brothers planning mill. From Thirty
third to Thirty-seventh streets Chap
line street was under several feet of
water and al the dwellings we're Hood
ed. In the portion Of the town known
! as Riverside block or La Belle place

THE WHOLESALE DISTRICT.


The Water File. Main Street Gel
lars and Got ON Few First
FIoors-Damage Was Very Light.
The food damage in the jobbing dis
trict was nominal. The rising waters
necessitated partial suspension of bus
mess, and hurried removal of mer-
chandise, but no actual damage was
caused by the water. Cellars on Main
and Water and interesting streets.
from Twelfth to the creek, were all
flooded.
Only in the vicinity OF Main and
South streets corner did the water get
upon the first floors. In Waterhouse
Bros. and Hubbard & Paull's portion
of the first floor was covered to depth
of from two to six inches. At George
S. Feeney & Co.'S it was within one
inch of the floor At the National Ho-
tel and the store room formerly occu-
pied by Cunnihan Bros, there was
water to the depth of several inches.
There was a like amount in Amick's
Arcade saloon, and the buildings be-
tween 1t and the north bank Of the
creek
All day yesterday there was a crowd
of boys at this point, wading with gum
boots, and floating on improvised RATS
During the afternoon several of them
attempted to walk across a cellar OPEN
ing in the room now used as the Sal
walton Army barracks. Half a dozen
of them went into the cellar opening,
and all were given chilly baths. One
or two lads had narrow escapes from
drowning.
In the excavations for the Locke and
News buildings there is lake of water
four or five feet deep, which has caus-
ed several caves and slips, and will
entail a loss 10 Stone Contractor P. j.
Gillegan.
Some of the persons living along
Water street below Twelfth were in
clined to sharply criticize the young
men who had charge of the e. B. Potts
show boat, for attaching lines to trees
in Riverside park, and thereby de-
stroying several Of them. Yesterday
morning the boat was caught on the
top of piling north of the P. G.. G. & ST.
L. station. and was gotten off with
some difnculty. Then the boat was
taken down below the north end of the
depot, where it is safe, and where
Water street people say they first re-
quested that it be taken.
The water in cellars at the Park and
Stamm hotels and at several other
places lifted the meters and twisted the
gas pipes, causing the gas to escape.
The smell could be detected ten yards
from the buildings. All proper pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
accidents until the water has receded,
and the breaks can be repaired.
The B. C O. switch on South street
undoubtedly saved the wholesalers in
that district from heavy loss. In many
instances upper stories were SO crowded
that there was not room for packing
boxes and barrels from cellars and first
floors Not less than forty boxcars were
filled with merchandise along South
street, and then removed to the Hemp
field yard where they were looked after
by Special B. & o. Officer Burns.
