Creeks Raging Torrents.

Pittsburg, Pa. Observation-Disclosures
es from all sections of Western Penn
sylvania report heavy rains and rap
idly rising waters. At many places
the downpour resembled a cloud
burst, and the streams are already
beyond their banks. Much territory
is submerged, and fears are enter
tanned of dangerous floods.
In the Connellsville region the
streams rose at an alarming rate.
Dunbar was inundated, and several
buildings have been washed away
from their foundations. Numerous
bridges are treatened. In Allegheny
County Charters Creek, Robinson
Run, Pine Creek, Deer Greek, Turtle
Creek and Girtys Run are raging tor
rents. The towns of Oakdale, In
gram, Carnegie, Wilmerding, Sharps-
burg and Turtle Creek borough are
already partly under water. At the
latter place the rise came so quickly
that many persons were rescued from
their houses in skiffs.

Theft OF A MULE
PROVOKED The WAR
Funny Beginning of Central Ameri'
can Fuss.
NATIONS BECAME VERY MULISH
Honduras and Nicaragua Having Be-
come Imbued With the Distinguish
ing Trait of the Stolen Animal,
Concluded to Fight 1t Out-A Cues
ton of Citizenship.

Washington (SpeciaD One mule
"a mule belonging to Senior lreneo
Salgado-was the chief object in
dispute between Nicaragua and Hon
duras when they began the quarrel
which finally ended in the war that
is threatening the peace of all Cen
trail America, according to ot1clal
communications exchanged by the
ministers of foreign affairs for the
two republics, copies of which have
been received in Washington.
The controversy began when Senior
Augusta C. Coello, the Honduran
minister of foreign affairs, wrote a
note to Senior Jose D. Gamez, the Nj
caraguan minister for foreign affairs,
on January &c, protesting against
the theft of mule from Ireneo Sal
gado by 35 Nicaraguan cavalrymen
who were charged with entering Hon
duran territory.
In reply, Senior Cameo said the
Nicaraguans did not quite enter Hon
duras, although they passed near to
the little town of Los Manos, in that
republic The taking of the mule
was not denied, but Senior Cameo
insisted in his letter that Salgado
was not a Honduran citizen, but a
Nicaraguan who had to leave that
country because of the part he played
in a revolution two years before.
Consequently Nicaragua maintained
that Honduras had no right to fly
to the defense of Salgado's mule.
This note brought spirited re-
ply from Honduras, the minister for
foreign affairs, announcing that Ire
neo Salgado, the Nicaraguan refu-
gee, was living in Tegucigalpa, hap
PLY engaged in trade there, while
man by the same name, a reputa-
BILE and respected farmer, Hondu-
ran of unquestioned citizenship, lived
at Los Manos and owned the much
mooted mule.
Nicaragua replied that it was true
that Col. Juan I. Rocha, who COM
manded a part of the cavalrymen,
took a mule near Los Manos, but
reiterated that the animal was not
taken in Honduran territory. Dis
patches grew longer as the contro-
versy waxed warmer. Other ques-
tions arose. Then the arbitration
tribunal was opened and finally the
break came when President Zelaya,
of Nicaragua, withdrew his member
of the board of arbitration and war
between Honduras and Nicaragua
actually began.

WASHED THE BRIDGE AWAY
Three of Freight Crew Lost In Flooded
River.

Pittsburg, Pa. (SpeciaD. - Three
men drowned, a railroad bridge
washed away, county bridge in dan
ger of following the railroad bridge
into the Allegheny River, and an en-
CINE and five freight cars in the
water are the first results of the rapid
rise during the night of Deer Creek,
near Harmarsyille, Pa, on the West
Pennsylvania Railroad.
About 4.5O o'clock A. NJ, freight
train, eastbound, entered on the
bridge, but got no further than the
second pier when it suddenly gave
way. Before the engineer, fireman
or brakeman on the front part of
the train could realize what had hap
pened the bridge went down, carry
ing the engine, trainmen and i've
freight cars with it.
So rapidly had the Deer Creek ris-
en- during the night that it had at
tanned height of 16 feet instead OF
the normal, from 4 to 6 feet. So
great, too, was the force of the cur
rent that one of the five freight cars,
heavily loaded, was carried down the
creek distance of over quarter of
mile before its progress was stayed.
The engineer, fireman and brakeman
had no opportunity of escaping, but
were Immediately dragged into the
current and drowned.
Traffic on the railroad has been
disorganized by the collapsing of the
bridge, but the officials expect to
have temporary structure erected
in a few hours.

New York Especially .-Messrs. Nc
Crea, Mellen, Hughitt and Newman,
the four railroad presidents for
whose visit to the White House J..
Pierpont Morgan arranged before his
departure for Europe, held confer
ence at the Grand Central Station in
this city. The whole situation was
canvassed with great care, and it
was finally decided not to go to
Washington.
It is understood that the reason
for this conclusion was that the four
gentlemen involved did not feel that
they had any proper mandate from
the railroad corporations to repre-
sent them. They felt that they could
not assume the position of self
constituted commission to formulate
or present the views of the hun
dreds of railroad companies, which
in turn are owned by millions of
shareholders. They recognized that
the railroad managers of the United
States are not themselves in perfect
accord, and that until some method
could be adopted for securing con-
sensus of opinion a visit to the Presi-
dent would be idle. At the conclu-
sion of the conference the various
presidents left for their homes.
From another source it was learned
that the presidents were utterly I'M
able to agree on a statement as to
what position should be taken. 1t
was held by at least one of them that
as no invitation to the White House
had been given to them by President
Roosevelt and that he had said mere
ly that he would see them if they
came, they would be put in the posi-
tion of suppliants asking the Presi-
dent to modify the attitude of the
federal government toward the rail-
roads. Upon the other hand, if they
went to Washington at the invita-
ton of the President they would be
on equal ground with him and could
discuss the railroad situation without
embarrassment.
Thomas F. Ryan, when asked his
opinion about the meeting arranged
by Mr.. Morgan between the Presi-
dent and the heads of the great rail-
roads of the country, said:
81 believe that if Mr.. Morgan's
visit to the President is followed up,
as it should be, by all of our great
business interests, it will do much
good.
II also believe that the Presidents
attitude toward corporations is much
misunderstood by the general public.
1t is unfair to assume that it is his
desire to hamper the business inter-
ests of the country. I am, however,
convinced that he purposes to enforce
the laws as he finds them upon the
statute book, and l think the sooner
the business interests of the country
conclude to go to work to aid the
President in solving the difficult prob
lens that confront him every day,
the sooner confidence will be restored
and the business of the country move
on without interruption. So far as
general business is concerned, the
only fault to be found with it is that
it is too active"
