Pennsylvania Floods.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 2S.-After having risen nineteen feet and breaking the high water record established ill 1889 during the Johnstown flood, the Susquehanna began to fall and last night was five feet lower at Columbia than yesterday The feeling of alarm has passed, and it is believed that the worst is over. The big gorge in the vicinity Of Washington borough and Turkey Hill, however, is still menace, but the channel that has opened through it along the York county side is thought to be large enough to carry off the flood water. It is being constant ly widened by the grinding of the ice passing down and by the mud and sand in the water Adyices from Me Calls Ferry, which is along the gorg- ed section, state that the ice is fifty feet high in many places in that vicini- ty. The tracks of the Columbia and Port Deposit railroad for two miles above AIcCalPs Ferry are covered with water and ice. The electric plant at Slackwater, which lights Lancaster city, was so badly damaged by the flood in the Conestaga that the city streets were again ia darkness

cENsuRE FOR FIGHTERS.

Committee Decides Form of Punish
 ment For TilIman and McLaurin.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The sub committee of the senate committee OH privileges and elections which was ap- pointed to formulate q proposition for the proper punishment of Senators Tillman and McLaurin of South Caro- lima for their offense to the senate last Saturday has practically concluded to recommend that the two senators be severely censured for their conduct and to limit the punishment to censure. The subcommittee consists of Senators Bur rows, Hoar and Foraker, Republicans, and Senators Pettus and Bailey, Dem ocrats. All were present at the early part of the meeting, but Senator Bailey was compelled by indisposition to leave the conference before it's close.
 The meeting was very harmonious, and little difference of opinion develop ed. The Republican members of the subcommittee did not themselves con- tend for a resolution suspending the two senators, but represented that there were some Republican members of the full committee who adhere to the opinion that through suspension on ly can adequate punishment be meted out to the offending members.
 On the other hand, some of the Dem- ocratic members made it very plain that they not only would not agree i'll committee to the reporting of q resolu- ton of suspension, but that if such resolution should be presented to the caunfa Inv a naiorifv of the committpn they would resist it's adoption by the senate to the extent Of insisting upon prolonged debate.
 The Democratic members of the com mittee have suggested that the censure should be in very severe language and if anything have been inclined to be more caustic than their Republican col leagues.

LOVE THE AMERICAN GIRLS.
Many Foreign Diplomats Have Fa1I- en Victims to the Charms os
 CoIumbia'H Daughters.

During the past 10 or 12 years there has been a remarkab b1e increase in the number of international marriages in diplomatic circles, and the preponder- ance of American brides in these all liances has been so marked as to prove the subject of much comment at all the principal courts of the world. This general preferment constitutes probably the strongest testimonial to. the attractiveness of Columbia's daughters which could possibly be pre-. scented, for, be it known, maj jority of the foreign powers express 1.-the dip-, lomats in their service the most em-' phatic discourag cement of marriages with fair residents of the United States.
 So formidable is the objection that any member of the German diploma tic corps who wishes to wed one of the pretty women of the republic must first secure special permission from the emperor, and this is very seldom granted One romantic young Teuton diplomat who disregarded this injunc- tion some years ago was dismissed from the service and has only recently been reinstated; moreover, one of the ablest German diplomats, who has rem dered his government invaluable serv- ice in the far east, but was too impa~ tient to lead beautiful American girl to the altar to wait upon the tardy post between Picking and Berlin, was summarily deposed and has never been able to secure restoration to the serY-

FLOODSIN TIE SOUTH
Heavy Downpour of Rain In
 Georgia and Alabama.
WASHOUTS OK RAILWAY LINES.
Nearly Five Inches of Water Fell In Montgomery A City's Light and Water Plant Put Out
 of Business.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 2S.-The south eastern gulf states have been deluged by rain. The precipitation was very heavy, and at Columbus, Ga, a bridge was swept away. The rainfall there was almost a cloudburst, the Chatta- hoochee river rising at the rate of two feet an hour. Several washouts are re ported on a number of roads, and trains out of Columbus were annulled. There has been no loss of life.
 The Columbus bridge broke in two 8 hundred feet from the Georgia shore and went sweeping down stream at q frightful pace. Just four and half blocks below it is the other bridge, which crosses to Girard, Ala, and It also would have been carried away had not the fall over the Eagle and Phoenix dam demolished the floating bridge before it reached it.
 The electric light and telephone wires running over to Phoenix City and Girard went across on the bridge, and they were snapped like threads. The water pipes which supplied the city with wa ter also were on this bridge and were broken like sticks and carried away leaving the city without water for time.
 The water company has an old sup- merged main across the river, and tnIs was placed in commission, saving the city from a water famine. The rain fell in torrents all day.
 No trains except the Central of Geor- gia from Macon have reached Colum- bus for twenty-four hours. There are several washouts on the Seaboard Ar Line between here and Albany, Ga, which stops traffic on that line. Sey- eral washoutS are reported on the Southern between here and Shiloh. There is large washout on the South ern railway in Columbus city limits. No trains were run yesterday, and there is little hope of any today. There is only one wire in operation to the north.
 At Birmingham there was deluge. The rain flooded the streets, and many awnings and street signs were torn away. Flooded tracks are interfering seriously with street railway traffic. All streams are swollen and rapidly rising.
 The total rainfall in Montgomery, Ala, up to D. n. was 4.50 inches, and a heavy downpour is reported in other. points of Alabama. The barometer re corded 2923, the lowest reading on record in that city.
 The excessive rainfall has caused rapid rise i'll the Coosa and Alabama rivers The director of the weather bu- reau has issued warnings for points below Wetumpka and advised that stock be removed from lands subject to overflow.

Last Wednesday, while proceeding to her place of employment, Miss Irene Kelley had q rather serious ac- cident. In avoiding a puddle of wa ter she stepped to one side, believing the snow to be firm, but there was only a thin crust and she sunk almost to her armpits. Two young men, seeing the girls predicament, secured shoyels and hastily dug her out. A girl friend furnished dry clothing.

Randall, Albert Rath- bone of counsel for the Central Trust company, Frank B. Kellog of St. Paul, Minn.; Joseph A. Knox, secretary and treasurer of the United States Flour Milling company; Charles E.

Monsieur Goubet, the Frenchinvent- or of submarine boats, has devised model of boat intended to run under water and to convey passengers be- tween France and England by means Of a cable stretched across the Channel Perhaps his strongest argument for an underwater passage is that the steadiness of motion would prevent seasickness, the traditional terror oT the English channel.
