about $4,000 worth OF stamps and some

the gang of robbers expected to find
the money for Saturdays pay in the
safe, but it was not there. The follow

men the borough has ever had. Mr..
Dickey has not been tried yet as police
man, but there is no doubt but what he
will make good one.

FLOODS BREAK RECORD.
Not Since the Johnstown Flood has Sandy
Lick Greek been SO High, while the
Small Runs Surpass Records.


Not since the big food OF 1889, known
as the Johnstown flood, has the Sandy
Lick creek been on the rampage as IL
was last Thursday night and Friday
morning, but some OF the smaller
streams, Pitchpine Run, Soldier Run
and Trout Run, we're higher than eyer
known before. Although the water was
not as high in the Sandy Lick as it was
In 1899, II was q more disagreeable food
than the 1889 flood because 1t occurred
in cold weather and ice froze on the
floors of dwelling houses that we're
flooded.
About 1890 on the morning Of the
Bird instant rain began falling, accom-
panied with terrific thunder and light
ming, and from that time until about
noon Thursday there was continuous
heavy downpour OF rain. For three or
four hours the lightning flashed aud
the thunder rolled. Not for many years,
If ever, has there been as hard and long
continued electrical storm in this section
in the winter. On account OF the ground
being frozen and covered with ice in
many places, the rain did not soak into
the ground but rushed down the hills
and streets TO the runs and creek, and
on Thursday evening the Sandy Lick
had overflOwed its banks and the low
lands were inundated. There was Is
inches of water on first floor OF Ross
House and Rev. j. G. McEntire's resi-
dence. Mr.. Ross says the water was
from 15 to 20 inches higher in his hotel
during the Johnstown flood than 1t was
Thursday night.
Opening of the gates on the Sabua
dam Thursday afternoon made the
water higher here than it would other
wise have been.
Thursday forenoon and afternoon men
were engaged in blasting ice gorges
above and below the Fifth street bridge
to save the bridge, and their efforts
were successful, although the water was
up and around the bridge. The water
was up over the sidewalk from Jackson
street to p r. r. round house and the
silk mill workers and glass workers had
to go around by West Peynoldsvile
Thursday evening and Friday morning
TO get from and to their work. In West
Reynoldsville the water was foot or
two deep over Pike street and people
had to be hauled from p r, r. crossing
to iron bridge on wagons or hacks.
Pitchpine Run was so high that the
first floors OF Sykes woolen mill, Deible
Bros wagon shop and Tapper's livery
stable were flooded.
The water was so high on Railroad
street that the trolley cars could not
get down Jackson street from Thursday
evening until Friday evening and the
r. g. F. G. Ry trains could not run
Thursday night and Friday.
The hard rains Sunday night and
Monday forenoon made another big
flood in the Sandy Lick creek and the
low lands in this section were inun-
dated again yesterday, but the water
was not as high as it was last Thurs
day night.

MINERS SOLVE PROBLEM,

indianapolis, March by one Of
the shrewdest moves In the history Of
organized labor. the leaders Of the
bituminous mine workers have practi-
cally succeeded In preventing a great
strike In the fields, resulting In the
suspending OF operations Of every soft
coal mine In the country and the forcing
into idleness of 100000 men. The
almost unanimous decision Of the dele
gates In session at indianapolis to-day
to refer to the local unions the question
of declaring strike has virtually seal
ed the fate OF a tie-up.
The plan adopted to-day Is to refer
the proposition to the membership,
possibly with recommendation that the
reduction be accepted. The plan was
envolved by the special committee
appointed by the miners, after the dis
ruption OF the interstate joint relations
with the operators Saturday to draft
policy for the future. Even the element
that stands most determined against
reduction voted in favor of the reso-
luton for the referendum vote. e.-Courier.

Butchering Under Difficulties.

M. Singlebach aud Frank Bracken,
his neighbor, who both reside on
Jackson street, came very nearly being
drowned last Friday while trying TO
kill large hog as 1t was swimming
around in the water. Mike lives in the
section that is inundated two or three
times a year and he has had numb e
of fine porkers drowned by not getting
them out of the pen before the watcr
got so high he could not get them out.
Thursday, when the water began play.
ing in Mikes back yard, he drove a
large fat hog out of the pen on to dry
ground, but Friday morning the hog
concluded to go back to the pen, even
though it did have 10 swim to get there.
When Mike saw that the hog was de-
termined to get into the pen again, lie
thought 1t would be better to. kill the
hog than have 1t drown. He and Mr..
Bracken got in skiff and rowed out to
where the porker was swimming around
and they managed to get rope around
one OF its legs and then Mike cut the
hogs throat, after which the hog
plunged around so desperately that it
upset the skin and dumped the two
men into the deep, cold water. Thoy
both had very narrow escape from
drowning. They succeeded, however,
in getting out and finally got the hog
out aud dressed it. The hog weighed
over three hundred.

away Thursday afternoon by the high
water. There were two young men
crossing the bridge when it went down,

rescue Witherow by letting a ladder
down n ON bridge short distance

caught the ladder and succeeded in
climbing almost to within reach of the
rescuers when, through exhaustion and
numbness from cold, he lost his hold
and fell back into the seething food.
The Pickering street bridge was
built in 1889 IL was considered a
substantial bridge. About ten o'clock

Danger notices were posted and people
were cautioned against crossing or
going out on the bridge, but these two
young men thought they could get over
