ICE GORGE FLOODS
Susquehanna Rising Causes
 Immense Damage.
PEOPLE FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS
The Pennsylvania and LaclSawanna Roads Are Blocked by High Wa ter--iifll Hands Rescued-Ice
 damned For Thirty HIiles.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb. 10.-The flood along the susquehanna grows worse every hour, and despite the cold weather the water is still rising. Much of the rise is due to the water backing up from the immense gorge which bot ties up the river below Bloomsburg and which grows stronger instead of breaking. -..'s~'..
 Communication with the west side of the river has been cut off, and the wa ter is over the farm lands opposite this city. Nanticoke Is surrounded by high water from both the river and the creek. Plymouth is flooded along the shore front, and street car traffic is suspended. At Espry the streets are under water, and the river is rising at the rate of eight inches an hour. Peo- pie are hurriedly leaving their homes and fleeing to the mountains. Four feet of water covers the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western tracks at Ruper, and there no trains have gone through on the Pennsylvania railroad.
 The rapidly rising river has driven 300 people out of their homes at Plym- outh, and number at Nanticoke have also been forced to leave. So rapidly did the flood rise that a hundred silk mill girls at Plymouth were caught be- fore they could escape and had to be taken out of the second story windows in boats. At Firwood, in the southern part of this city, many families had to leave their homes as the waters ad- vanced, and others who remained in the hope of its receding were taken out in boats. Westmoreland and the flats opposite this city are flooded, and the people there are cut off from this city.
 The towns of Bloomsburg and Cata- wissa, on the north branch of the Sus- quehanna, are under sixteen feet of water, with a flood coming down the river upon them which threatens to annihilate them. @
 A monster ice jam thirty miles long, formed two weeks ago, is backing the water up on all sides and gives no evi- dence of breaking. | Twenty miles above the towns, at Shickshinny, is another big jam. In case this should break untold damage will result for miles below. { i~, ' People have moved from their homes and are praying for relief
 In many cases the channel of the river has been changed, and it is now flowing over farm lands and through villages. t E-, '4

August W. Machen Tsstanes In Ills Own Behalf. -f
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1o.-The cen tral figure in the postal trial, August W. Machen, former superintendent of the rural free delivery division, took the stand i'll his own behalf and said he assumed responsibility for the acts of Miss Leibhardt, his chief clerk, who had initialed and signed letters from his division. He rehearsed the oil transaction which has figured so con- spicuously in the trial and said that the $25,OOO received from Lorenz in payment of the Machen interest in the oil property was bona fide sale. . The Groff fastener, he said, had been called to the attention of the depart ment before he received his appoint ment. He denied emphatically that up to the time Mir. Lorenz in August of 1895 spoke of his having an interest in the device he had any supicion of the fact and was equally emphatic in saying that neither NIT. Lorenz nor the Groffs ever influenced his action either in placing the first order for the fas- tenars or in any subsequent orders.

Liquidation In Traction Stocks Is Unex-

the Motive Gives the Selling Sinister
Effect

NEW YORK, March 12-The stock
market developed some activity today
and rather positive tone of weakness.
The weakness was largely sympathetic
with the pressure upon Individual stocks,
especially Metropolitan Street Railway
and Metropolitan Securities. The liquida.
ton in these two stocks gave signs OF
urgency and cost the former AS points
and the latter points-.-The selling was
unexplained by any news regarding the
property and was thought likely to be
due to settlement of one or two large eS-
tates largely interested in the property.
The obscurity of the motive of the sell
ing gave it a sinister effect. Pennsylvania
was also freely pressed for sale and broke
through the support which had been In
1.111a, which is only ~ above the low
point since the last stock issue started It's
long decline. The selling of Delaware q
Hudson was supposed to be to provide
funds for subscription to the new stock
offered.
The market hardened on short covering
in spite of the continued weakness OF
the two Metropolitan stocks and the clos
ing was firm. United States Steel was
rather conspicuous in the recovery. Inc
statement was contrary to expectations.
The bank statement was of little lnfiu-
ence, however, as the present condition
of the money market gives little occasion
for solicitude. The steadiness of North

The pit crowd had a disposition to try
the short side-at the start, but they soon
turned about, as there was little evidence
of any selling out through fear to go over
long until Monday. Following was the
range of prices:
