 The sidewalks on Washington ave- nue were in very slippery condition this morning. The people on their way to work succeeded with much diff ficnlty in descending the hill. Many persons fell and narrowly escaped seri- ous Injury A well known drug clerk was walking down the hill. A man Tn front Of him fell and the drug clerk could not refrain from laughing a lit tie. The man arose and in an angry voice asked the compounder Of pre- serlptIons what he was laughing at. The clerk meekly answered that tho fall was tho subject of his laughter. A few minutes later the drug clerS fell and then the laugh was on him.

FLOODS DAMAGE SHIPS ]
Bis Steamers Swept Away and Stove
 i'm at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 23.--.A gorge broke above the city, and flood of water swept down the Cuyahoga river, tearing away three big steamers from their moorings. The vessels were car ried down the stream and crashed into the drawbridge of the Superior street viaduct. The boats were all badly damaged by the collision, and it is be- lieved the foundation of the bridge has been seriously damaged.
 All the tugs in the harbor are below the vessels damned at the viaduct, and it has been found impossible to get q tug to the assistance of the imprisoned vessels. The big steamer William E Refs. one of the boats in the jam, Is badly wrecked, with an immense hole smashed in her bow and another about midships. The Refs is loaded with iron ore, and it is feared she will go to the bottom. The other two vessels are also badly damaged.

 PETERSBURG, Jan. 23 pl.tsburg's historic relic, the blocklolSse, is en- Eangered by the high water. SElrc;l.la- Ed as it is by the Moncngaheln, Allp. gheny and Ohio rivers, it is ill the very center of the flood.
 The Monongahela river rose slowly all day, the first rapid rise experienced there being when the Allegheny caused the former stream to back up The ice started out of the Youghiogheny river during the afternoon and also from the third pool of the Monongahela. The ice is not nearly so heavy in this stream as it is in the Allegheny, and the own CTS of river property, deciding to choose the least of two dangers, have their craft moored at different points along the banks of the Monongahela.
 The Allegheny at Leechburg is but three feet from the railroad bridge. One track of the Pennsylvania railroad at Roaring Run, forty-five miles east of Zegh, is washed out and is also washed out at Avonmore. Trains are being run on one track. The railroad bridge at Apollo was declared unsafe by the railroad company and no trains are being run over it. The yards at the east end of Blairsville are also under water. The high water is doing much damage to railroad property owing to the recent improvements. Across the river from Leechburg the tracks are be- ing washed by the water and under mined
 Damage from the flood at sharon, Pa, will reach several thousand dol lars. The Shenango river is still ris- ing and the lower parts of the town are under several feet of water. Two piers were washed away from the rail- road bridge of the Stewart Iron com pany, putting 1t out of commission. The bridge at the waterworks plant was also damaged. Part of the South sharon Steel works is under water, and a shutdown is probable.
 The water in Mercer is higher than it was ever known before and continues to rise. That part of the town known as the Flat is completely under water.

JimfneX's Army Has Fled - Powell
 Recognizes Morales Government.
 CAPE HAFTIEN, Haiti, Jan. 23.-- Late dispatches from Santo Domingo say that General Jiminen and his fol- lowers have fled before the government force under General Caceres, as they were completely out of ammunition and consequently could not confront the enemy.
 The receipt of this news has caused much rejoicing among the friends of General Morales. What will become of the troops under General Jiminez Is not known, but many of them have de- serted and are now in the ranks of the government. The cause of General Jiminez now seems to be completely lost. His last retreat is Monte Cristt where he is now thought to have takan refuge.
 United States Minister Powell las recognized the provisional governpent of General Morales as the de iacto government of Santo Domingo, add he has informed the members of tte dip- lomatic and consular corps to ths end

LIBERTY STREET AGAIN.
Cost Would be About One-Third Less
 If Jewelry Street Were Selected

The proposition to extend Liberty street to Bank street, an old question recently resurrected by Thomas Kelly, is of more than ordinary importance. and yet the thing has almost dropped out of the public mind It was con- I sidered a public necessity years ago when the need of 1t was far from what it is to-day, and realizing this the city secured the right of way at an expense amounting to $1O,OOO, di- vided between the railroad people and the heirs of Charles Benedict Many wonder why the work has not been pushed through, but nobody appears to be able to answer the question, all though it is generally believed that the project is on the waiting list until the Consolidated road completes its plan for union depot and certain changes in the tracks in that district. The lay out as ordered by the city would make the cross street at Bank and Liberty streets, but 1t has since been learned that the public can be accom- modated just as we'll by connecting with Jewelry street instead of Liberty street and that. the. expense will be less than one-thfrd the cost of follow ing the original idea. Advocates of a cross street at thatS point claim that this is very opportune time to call attention to the matter and urge the city fathers to see if some understand ing cannot be reached with the fac. tories which have consolidated in that part of the town and are thinking of bridging the river short distance below Jewelry street. It is thought that the extension of Jewelry street would meet all the requirements or. Holmes. Booth & Haydens and Bene- dict & Burnham's. and also accomm0- date the public. Tn this way the cost of constructing bridge simply for the use of the factories could be- saved. It might be we'll to inquire into the sit uation.
 To be sure some claim that there IS no demand for a street there, but It, would not pay to lose time discussing that phase of the subject. The Wash ington avenue bridge had it's opponents just as the bridge over the Mad river at Liberty street had, but the men who tried to block them have long since experienced change of heart and would be among the first to de fend them to-day if one suggest that they be torn down and things left in the condition they were found. Much is being said about parks and breath ing places in the different parts of the town, which is all right in it's owF place, for parks are desirable, but they are by no means essential and thee fore should not be pushed in ahead of a great public necessitys ssuch as the opening of a street frcm Bank ctr c to South Main street. 20 that raosNe will not have to walk mile or fro"N than they ought to get fnto or4o'7t O.

FAR EAST CRISIS.
Government Omcfa1s Now Hope RaO&

Government Omcfa1s Now Hope FOR
 Pacific Outcome.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. B. The czar has not yet called the council to consider the Japanese reply, but 1t is said at the foreign office that the sum- mons may be issued any day. The de- lay, coupled with dispatches from To- kyo saying that Japan is armed and grimly waiting, has caused a slight re- newal of public nervousness, which was reflected by the weakness on the bourse.
 This alarm is seemingly not shared in the higher government circles, where it is insisted that the czar's pacific dec larations were not idle words. The worst that is now anticipated is a breakdown Sf the negotiations in the. event of Russia's response being unac- ceptable tolJapan.
 The papers have published promi. nently tie statement that the United States Asiatic squadron will remain in Philippine waters. The Gazette, in pointing out the mischief caused by the erroneous statement that Rear Admiral Eyaas' destination was Yongampho, kOfeA, 1nBIedu or OiOuShpO, CuDig Ddys near Manila, welcomes the correction as evidence that the United States will p6t meddle in the quarrel.
 / A dispatch from Newchwang says 5000 Russian soldiers have entered Newchwang. The municipal affairs of are managed by Rus sian commissioner, and, acting on his orders, the Chinese merchants displayed the Russian colors when the troops marched into the city.
