Great Flood in Ptttsburg.

The lower portions of Pittsburg and
Allegheny were temporary Venice lest
Saturday and transportation was by
wagon and boat. At 8 p. m. there was
35 fit. 8 in. of water in the Allegheny at
Herr's Island and 32ft. Ain in the
Monongahala river at Market st.
Early Saturday morning all street car
traffic was suspended between the two
cities. Railroads were crippled and
suburbanites had great difficulty reach
ing town. Wagons took the place Of
trolly cars and hauled people across the
waters that backed up Sixth street and
other streets leading across the Allie
gheny river. Residents of the West
End were compelled early in the day to
make detour over Mt. Washington to
reach the main city. Mills lining the
river banks were compelled to close,
throwing thousands of men out of en-
ployment. In the two cities fully
90, 900 men were thrown idle

are ruined in many mills and 1t Will
require many days to clean the machln,

and rusted by the water. The loss that
will be felt most will fall on the work
men. who will be compelled to remain
idle for several days A safe estimate
is that $780, 600 per day will not cover
the loss from this cause alone.
The mail service was crippled, every
train arriving late on all the railroads:
On the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad
trains did not leave the station at all
Saturday. The water covered the
tracks between the station and the
Point bridge several feet deep. AT
Sawmill run it was also away over
the tracks The Baltimore 81 Ohio
suffered greatly by loss of bridges,
and was compelled to send passengers
for the East through Wheeling and
Grafton. The Pennsylvania railroad
was in the best shape, and as soon as
the street car service in Allegheny
suspended trains were run from the
Union depot every five or ten minutes
Trains were also added on the Pan
handle between the city and Carnegie.
The city engineers made examlna-
tions of all the bridges in the after
noon. The Sixteenth street bridge
over the Allegheny was ordered closed
by Director Leslie of Pittsburg and
Director McAfee of Allegheny. The
bridges at Herr's Island and Forty-third
street were also closed.
The waters began falling about y
o'clock Saturday night and next day All
the cars were running.
