Although the jury was out two hours,

ballots were taken. On the first ballot ten
jurors voted mot guilty." and two voted
guilty. The two who voted guilty said
they believed the evidence showed him

says the estate of the late State Senator
Christopher l.. Magee has received bill
from DIR. Walter c. Browning, Of Philadel-
phia. for $4,000 for professional services
during the illness of Senator Magee. DIR.
Browning was in attendance on Senator
Magee for twenty-one months previous TO

bill is understood TO be itemized; covers
twenty-one months treatment and is
charged at the rate of $50 per treatment
hour One charge is $1,000 for last sum-
mer's treatment at Atlantic City. and an
other $1,000 for accompanying the deceased

$4,000 has been made. 1t is learned from
reliable sources, however, that the bill will
be contested if DR.. Browning insists on
demanding the payment of his original bill.

Special Flood Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, April 20-The Weather
Bureau tonight issued the following special
flood bulletin:
''The excessive rains of the past twenty
four to thirty-six hours over the upper Ohio
watershed have caused a very rapid and
dangerous rise in the upper Ohio river and
its tributaries. In anticipation Of a flood OF
decided proportions warnings were issued
this morning of a thirty-foot stage at Pitts
burg during the night, and danger-line
stages or over below Pittsburg as far as
Portsmouth, o.
"At p. m. the stage Of water at Pitts
burg was 2i.6 feet 2.6 feet above the dar-
ger line, a rise Of 7.2 feet since a. M, and
rising half foot an hour; at Parkersburg
the stage was S4s feet, rise of feet since
a. and IL feet below the danger line
and still rising; at Cincinnati the stage was
95.s feet. rise of Al feet since a. m. and
rising, but still 10 feet below the danger
line.
"As it is still raining over the upper Ohio
valley it is impossible tonight to venture
a definite forecast of the exact crest OF
the flood wave 1t will, however, move
rapidly down the Ohio river, and stages
above the danger lines will no doubt be
reached as far as Cincinnati by Sunday
night or Monday. Flood warnings have
been widely distributed, particularly in the
vicinity of Pittsburg, and reports received
tonight indicate that a great amount of
portable property has been removed to
places of security. Special reports have
been called for from the flood district on
Sunday morning, when further information
will be given and additional warnings is
sued if necessary.
"The situation below Cincinnati will be
carefully watched and prompt and timely
warnings will be issued if necessary"

said last night: THE people of San Do

They resent the mere suggestion Of an
nexation. We do not want them. They
labor one day week and wonder why
they do not get on. They have dislike
for commerce and discourage it. The re-
moval Of export duty on sugar last week
seems to be step in the direction Of prog

$500 900 yearly. 1 was amazed at the num-

under thousands of tons of earth, washed
down the hillsides and in some cases the
tracks have been moved. Where the snow
and sleet prevailed telegraph wires and
poles went down under the burden and
bridges have been washed away. The big
manufacturing plants in this the Industrial
center of the world, have suffered severely.
The cost of repairs is but a small item in
comparison to the delay in filing the or
ders with which all the plants are crowded.
The workers will lose their wages for two
days. to a week or more and many of them
can lily afford the loss. Many merchants
in the submerged districts are losers on
stock in cellars and thousands have spent
money TO pay for help to remove their
goods.
But the most serious item of all will fol-
low in the flood That is the little homes
that are ruined and the sickness that in
evitably succeeds. And this falls upon the
poorer class Of people.
STATE OF THE RIVERS.
At midnight Frank Ridgeway, local Of
fetal forecaster. issued bulletin to the eff
feet that the Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers would probably reach the twenty
nine foot mark, while the Ohio would reach
thirty feet and four feet less than the dis
astrous flood of 1884. The mark in the
Monongahela river at los o'clock this
morning was 2S.3 feet and rising at the
rate of 3lR inches an hour. In the Allie
gheny, 2S.2 feet was the reading on the
gauge. with the water coming UP about two
inches an hour, while the Ohio river gauge
showed twenty-five feet and rising about
six inches an hour.
In Pittsburg an immense damage has
been done TO goods in the downtown shop
ping district Early this morning large
forces of men began removing stock from
the cellars. They worked all day long and
far into the night, but in some cases the
water rose so rapidly that valuable goods
had to be abandoned, Along Duquesne way

chants expect to be forced to abandon their
stores before the water recedes.
