"The man can do Il but win not;
the woman would do II but may not
We are bound hand and foot. but for
tunately our tongues are not ted
said Mrs. q. A. knoilenberg, of Rich
mond. Indiana. A bitter fight was on
for the election of Mayor of that city.
The present incumbent, whose private
and public life is obnoxious to the
better element of the town, was up for
reelection. For eight years the poll
teal machine had backed the Mayor,
mere tool in the hands of unscrupu.
lous leaders. The forces OF good gov
eminent seemed ON the very verge of
defeat. when the women arose In their
might, twelve hundred strong, demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men of clean charactcr-that good
instead of evil honesty instead of
graft, deccncy instead of indecency,
be the watchwords.
They held great mass meeting and
made stirring speeches. II was not a
question of politics; 1t was the moral
sentiment of the community speaking
through its wives and mothers. And
1t was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said a leading paper.
"The women OF Richmond made the
result possible. The tide began to
turn when the women met and In be-
half OF womanhood and the sanctity
OF the home protested against the con-
tinuance Of the present regime. II
was not until then that the real I'M
port of the fight was felt"

A medical note states that a negro

a hospital, on the promise Of free
treatment and attendance, readily sub
mitted to the application of n new
anacsthctic which a local physician
had discovered. The negro died In
about minute before the operation
began, which was then discontinued.
After a consultation. the physicians In
attendance unanimously agreed that
the patient would have died under the
Influence Of any other anaesthetic,
to say nothing OF the cutting up; all Of
which would doubtless be comfort To
the victim II the news could be con-
yeyed to him.

MANY HOMES INUNDATED
Plttsburg Is Preparing for ;he Worst
Storm In Many Years - Rivers
Continue to Rise Rapidly.

Pittsburg, March 22.-Pittsburg is
threatened with one of the worst
floods in years. At IL o'clock last
night Forecaster Frank Ridgway pre-
dicted over 80 feet. He does not eX-
pect over 80 feet. Early yesterday
the water began to recede from the
rise in the Allegheny, but a fresh i'm
petus was given to the rushing tor
rents by a rainfall of nearly two
inches over the entire watershed of
the Monongahela river Last night
for so miles above Pittsburg the Mo
nongahela was rising eight inches an
hour, and at the harbor here the
gauges showed rise of nearly three
inches per hour.
Already a number of mills have
shut down as a result of the water
putting out the fires.
Hundreds of houses in Allegheny,
on the South Side and in McKeesport
and other suburbs are surrounded by
from two to eight feet of water, the
occupants living in the second stories
In some places the water has entered
the upper rooms and homes are being
abandoned for the time being. Scores
vi DuSluSSS IluuSSS nave lllelT DdSe-
ments flooded and the loss will be
heavy.
Parkersburg, w. Va, March o.
The Ohio river was Sc feet here last
night and rising five-tenths of foot
an hour The danger line has been
passed, and by Thursday the river is
expected to reach a stage of 40 feet.
Wheeling, w. Va, March 22.-The
Unexpectedly large flood stage ma
terializing here Tuesday on the first
rise, with still higher stage coming
Thursday on the second rise, compli-
Gated the situation in the Wheeling
district greatly, and there is more loss
than usual to householders and mer-
chants. On Wheeling Island, South
and East Wheeling, Benwood and the
Ohio side towns. there are hundreds
Of homes inundated.
Meadville, Pa, March 22.-The flood
situation has grown worse. Many
houses are inundated and the occu-
pants are living in the upper stories
of their homes, while others are hous-
ed with friends. The river is gradu-
ally rising. Railroad and street rail
way traffic is suspended. Conditions
at Sharon, Pa, are threatening.

A Shoe Factory at BroCton, Massp
Was Destroyed by the Ex-
pIosion of a Boiler,
AT LEAST 90 LIVES LOST
Fire Followed the Explosion and Many
of the Workers in the Factory
Were Roasted to Death in the
Ruins - Property Loss Is
About $25oooo.

Brockton, Mass, March 22.-Fifty-
five dead, IA identified, 40 missing and
26S employees accounted for, is in
brief the situation following Mondays
factory catastrophe.
Brockton, Mass, March 21.--This
city is in mourning for at least three
score of her citizens whose lives were
blotted out Monday by the explosion
of boiler in large shoe manufacture
ing establishment in the Campello dis
trict, conducted by the r. B. Grover
Co.
The explosion was Immediately fol-
lowed by a flash of flame which con-
sumed the factory, long four-story
structure, as if it were a house of
cards, and incinerated an unknown
number of men and women who were
unable to eXtricate themselves from a
mass of tangled wreckage formed by
the terrific upheaval in the boiler
room. More than half hundred of
the employees in the building were
manned, burned or bruised by the
time they reached safe ground.
The fire extended from the factory
to several other buildings in the vi
cinity and destroyed them. The
total financial loss is estimated at a
quarter of a million dollars, 100000
of which falls on the R. B. Grover Co.
The monetary losses are nearly Offset
by insurance.
1t may never be known how many
persons were in the factory. The num-
ber has been estimated at 400, but
Treasurer Charles o. Emerson said
last night he doubted whether there
were so many at work. Two hundred
and fifty survivors have been account
ed for and at midnight last night the
remains of so bodies had been recov-
cred from the ruins. Fragments Of
human frames which possibly might
belong to bodies other than those
enumerated have also been found.
Few of the remains have been identi-
fed.
"a crack in the lap seam of the
boiler was responsible for the acci-
dent" said an expert engineer.

MUST ACCEPT ARBITRATION
The United States Government Has
Sent an Ultimatum to Vene-
zuela's President.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao,
March 22.-The Venezuelan govern
ment, it is announced from Caracas,
has received a note from the Ameri-
can minister, Mn Bowen, requiring an
answer as to whether Venezuela will
arbitrate the questions pending, and
saying that in case of a refusal the
United States will feel free to take
the steps which may be necessary to
secure justice.
Beside the New York and Bermu-
desc asphalt case there are three
other matters which are suggested as
proper subjects for arbitration, name
ly, the Critchfield claim (also based
on an asphalt concession), the claim
of the Orinoco Steam Navigation Co.,
based on a violated franchise, and the
claim Of the newspaper correspondent,
Jaurett, for damages arising from his
summary expulsion from Venezuela.
