DISASTROUS STORMS.

The most disastrous storm and flood
ever known In those parts made havoc
Saturday 10 Pittsburg and other places
| in western Pennsylvania, as we'll as In
eastern Ohio, northern New York.
northern West Virginia, eastern Ken
lucky and In many points 10 Maryland.
Rivers rose to an unprecedented height,
houses were washed away and hum
dreds OF inmates were driven to take
refuge In boats and on RATS. Loss Of
life was reported at various points.
Negroes started riot In the streets
of Carnegie and the chief OF police was
wounded. The damage from the flood
directly will not fall below 81 600, 600,
while the losses indirectly will run into
the millions. The railroads estimate
their property losses at $400, 900, and
the damage to dealers and mills Will
make up the remaining 5000, 900. The
Pan Handle and Pittsburg &c Lake Erie
Railroads are helpless, and the Pennsyl'
vsnia and Baltimore & Ohio are badly
crippled. The greatest loss will be to
the steel plants and factories that line
the banks of the three rivers. The loss
of time in putting the mills into shape
J for operation will be enormous. Great
damage was done to railroad tracks,
| and on nearly all lines traffic was
| stopped and trains were stalled.
Ohio experienced the worst blizzard
| 10 Its history. Thirty.tive inches OF
snow fell, and 10 many places the
drifts were is feet deep.
At Buffalo, N. Y, rain and snow did
great damage to the Exposition build
ines and grounds, which were being
put in shape for the opening on May /.
Above Cincinnati, In Kentucky and
West Virginia, and in the Ohio river
valley watershed the heavy rain caused
rise In the Ohio river, all the way
from Pittsburg to Louisville.
Following these rains came tremen-
dous snowfall, which reached rom
Canada to Atlanta, with Its western
border less than a hundred miles from
Cincinnati. BY its mere weight and by
the force of the wind In many places
there was almost complete paralysis
of all wire communication across the
snow belt yesterday, From IL to 10
inches of snow lies over eastern Ohio,
northern Pennsylvania and over the
greater part OF West Virginia and east
ern Kentucky.
Ten million dollars will hardly cover
the enormous losses In Ohio. Pennsyl-
vanis, western New York and West
Virginia.
James river Ia rapidly rising. 1t is
twenty.three feet above low.wa.er
mark at Columbia, and all the steam
ship wharves were flooded this morn
ing. In the districts bordering on the
river front the people are moving goods
from their cellars and ground floors to
places of safety. Twenty-eight feet Of
water at Columbia means that Main
street, at Seventeenth, In Richmond,
will be flooded, and much property
damaged.

OF a bill from Philadelphia doctor for

ing the last Illness OF Senator Msgee
