BIG FLOODS IN
pennsylvania
Severe Gold Weather However Has
Checked the Rise in Susque-
hannah, the Allegheny and
Monougahela Rivers.
MILLS LL0n6 The RIVERS At
PITTSBURG had TO CLOSE DOWN

Pittsburg, Pa, March 2.-The rivers
are again almost within their banks
and as the water is falling rapidly here
and at headwaters, the worst OF the
flood may be considered as over. At 10
o'clock this morning the Allegheny wa
ter mark shows 25 feet and receding at
the rate of half foot an hour Only
half dozen times in century has the
record of yesterday been beaten, but
Notwithstanding this and the fact that
the rise came within few hours the
damage has not been as great as in
many previous floods, when the water
did not reach as high stage. Indi-
rectly the loss is heavy as all the mills
and factories fronting the two rivers
have been compelled to close down on
account of the water getting into the
fire pit and probably 10000 men will be
thrown out of employment for several
days. This will mean heavy loss In
wages. The flood was general through
out all western Pennsylvania, the
streams everywhere overflowing their
banks and causing more or less damage
to houses and farms that lay in their
course
DROWNED IN A FINDLAY STREET
Toledo, O., March 2.-Although the
danger of serious food In Toledo
passed today when the ice moved out
of the Maumee river, it is not true OF
other towns in this section of Ohio. A
special from northwestern Ohio towns
show the situation Is serious at Find
lay, Lima, Tiffin, Marysville, Upper
Sandusky and neighboring towns. At
Findlay, Sam Moffat was drowned IN
the street. The water had raised the
sidewalks. He broke through and met
death in ten feet of water. Nelson ia
cobs and Henry Thomas, also Of Find
lay, wealthy farmers, attempted TO
drive through low place in the road.
The horses floundered in five feet OF
water and the men and horses were
drowned. At Fremont, David Divley
was driving along the river road and IN
an attempt to pass a low spot was
swept away by the current Of the wa
ter and drowned. All the rivers are
higher than they have been for 20 years.
COLD WEATHER CALLS A HALT.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 2.-The dan
ger from flood ended today when the
river after reaching 81 feet inches, be-
gan falling. This was due to the cold
weather which has ended the thaw.
The losses so far have been confined TO
few washouts and the flooding OF
some mines.
