OHIO IN FLOOD
Sudden Rise In Grenf River Dcvus-

Sudden Rise In Grefsf River Dcvus-
tates villages md Farms.
CINCINNATI, March 15.-The worst
flood in decades threatens the lower
Ohio river valley, and it is expected
that the sixty-fiye foot stage recorded
in January will be reached, if not sur
passed. Only February, 1894. saw a
higher flood mark.
The worst feature of the present sit
uation is the suddenness of the rise,
the waters finding many communities
unprepared for a repetition of their
January experiences Simultaneous
flood conditions at the headwaters of
the big river and most of its principal
tributaries caused this condition, the
heavy rains for forty-eight hours
booming all streams above the danger
line.
The Muskingum, Scioto and Great
and Little Miamls from the north and
the Kanawha, Big Sandy and Licking
rivers from the south have not only
poured their surplus into the Ohio. but
have laid waste farms and villages
along their banks.

WHEELING, w. Va, March 10
Wheeling is in the midst of the worst
flood since 1854. The water is rising
four inches an hour, with the expecta-
tion that the top notch will be reached
with between forty-seven and forty
eight feet. This completely isolates the
city from the rest of the world, every
railroad and trolley line having sus-
pended, and there can be no resump-
ton of communication by railroad be-
fore Sunday or Monday. In Wheeling
and the surrounding towns of Ben
wood, Martins Ferry. Bridgeport, Bel
aire, McMechen and Moundsville 1t is
estimated that the flood has wholly or
partially submerged fully 1900 houses
and that nearly $4,000 people have
been driven from their homes.

Hummel as witness declared that
Evelyn Nesbt told him in 1908 that
she had told Thaw in Paris that it was
not true Staaford White had drugged
and betrayed her.
The court had ruled out Il somewhat
similar question regarding Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw's alleged affidavit, and Mr..
Delmas, leading counsel for the defense,
was on his feet with an objection to
the second Interrogation when Hum
mel quickly interposed his answer in a
loud voice.
AT the interview in your office" :"
asked Mr. jerome, did Evelyn Nesbit
prior to your debating anything tell
you that she had told Thaw that it
was not true that Stanford White had
drugged and ravished her."
Mr.. Delmas was on his feet to OBJ
iect, but before he could do so and i'm
mediately after the district attorney
had ceased to speak Hummel said in
a loud voice, "She certainly did,
Mr.. Delmas looked at the witness
and, with scorn in his voice, said:
"And you call yourself lawyer"
Mr. Jerome asked Mr.. Delmas to ad-
dress his remarks to the court. He fur
ther said he understood Mr.. Delmas
to have said he would not object to an
answer to such a question as was ask
ed the witness. His assistant Mr.
Garvan, had told him Mr.. Delmas had
made such statement while he (Je-
rome) was out of the room.

Mr.. Delmas. Il specifically reserved
the right to object to any question put
to this witness"
Mr.. Delmas turn<S to Hummel and
said:

81 did," said Hummel, not in the
least perturbed.
"And the learned district attorney
heard me?" asked Mr.. Delmas, turning
to Mr.. Garvan.
,"If the learned counsel from the Pa
cifc slope will address himself to the
court, we will make better progress"
said Mr.. Jerome. He also added that
the prefix learned if left out would
tend to shorten the record
Irritable children are entitled to
some considerations replied Mr.. Del
mas, $50 if the irritable district attor-
ney prefers / will refrain from ascrib-
ing to him the qualities he so scorn-
fully rejects"
There was general laughter at this.
Mr.. Delmas first moved that District
Attorney Jerome's question and Hum
mels answer be stricken from the rec
ord, and Justice Fitzgerald seemed
about to order that done when Mr.
Delmas again took to his feet and said: /:
Through the extraordinary conduct
of the district attorney this question

them stand. waive my right"
Mr.. Jerome wanted to know if the
motion to strike out was withdrawn.
'trhe answer is already with the
jury. Why should it be stricken out?

mas.
DR.. Austin Flint, the first expert
called by Jerome in rebuttal, declared
it to be his opinion as scientific man

(BY II. II. Rru Col

GLOBE, May 2s.--After initial sales slight improvement was noticeable in today's market, but after mid day the stocks fell to even lower levels than before. The sentiment, however, re- mains bullish, especially in such stocks as Amalgamated, Anaeonda, Reading, New York Central, Steel, Shelters and other good dividend-paying copper stocks. It is said that traders were rot only all short of stocks, but about one-half of the commission houses. It is also reported that commission houses are longer of money than of stocks.
 When the public confidence can be restored and buying sets in we look for better market; also the fall rise in stocks to come sooner this year than usually
 Old Dominion sold down to $47.50 and Arizona Commercial down to s22, tut very little stock changed hands at these figures. Globe Consolidated dropped to sl0.75 bid and $11.25 asked and Superior & Boston to $2.371a bid and s2.62ls asked, but very little stock was brought out at these figures. From recent reports from the Globe Consoli- dated and Superior & Boston shows these properties up better day by day and we look for these stocks to take a sudden jump. Locally the mining field never looked better and we would advise the holders of such stocks to hold onto them and buy more.

haved the worst, igniting the gas each time. A self-igniting lock lamp used in Germany proved the best.
 Another line of investigation to be carried on by the survey will relate to rescue work. It is declared that in serious gas explosions in mines many lives could be saved were it possible for the rescue party to enter immedi- ately after the accidents. As it is now, the deadly fire-damp often holds the men back for hours while their comrades are slowly being suffocated or burned to death. At the Belgium station MT. Hall found an apparatus capable of sustaining life in the midst of fre-damp or among the poisonous vapors that follow mine explosions. This apparatus will be tested in the miniature coal mine which will be fit- ted up as part of the experimental station, and if the tests are success ful its use will be strongly urged.
 It will not be possible, of course, to compel the adoption of safety regula. tions or appliances, but miners and operators will be invited to witness the tests, and the results of the inves- tigations will be given to the public in the hope that great good may fol low.
 The location of the experimental plant has not been definitely decided upon, but it will probably be in the Pittsburg district, and MT. Hall states that the work of erection will be begun in few weeks.

MORE SAFEGUARDS FOR MINERS
Federal Government Will Experiment
 With the Different Explosives

The coal mine death roll in Pennsyl- vania during 1906 was 300. Two hun dred and fifty died as the result of gas or dust explosions. In West Virginia in the same year mine explosions cost eighty-eight lives, and in the early months of 1907 the list of fatalities was increased by more than hundred more.
 That the United States is far behind European countries in safeguarding the lives of it's miners has already become evident from the investigations now being carried on under the direction of J. A. Holmes of the United States geo. logical survey, but determined efforts are to be made to bring about better conditions at the coal mines, to stop the appalling sacrifice of human life, and incidentally to lessen the waste of fuel in mining operations.
 A series of unique experiments is about to be undertaken by the fuel division of the survey, with view to determining the safety of the various dynamites and powders used in blast ing in the presence of the deadly fire damp and perhaps equally deadly coal gas. The explosives which stand the severe tests for which plans are being made will be classed as permissible explosives and their use will be urged upon the mine owners of the country.
 The experimental station which is to be established as the basis of the pro posed tests will be under the direction of Clarence Hall, the explosives agent for the government. MT. Hall has re- gently returned from England and Bel gium. where he examined the splendid experimental stations that have been maintained there for years. In these and other European countries the min CTS, the government and the manufae- turers of explosives cooperate in the effort to prevent such casualties as those by which this country has re- gently been mortified The English ex- periments have resulted in establishing number of permissible explosives, whose use by the miners is compul- sorry. English miners are also restrict ed to a limit charge, for exceeding which severe penalty is imposed. In the coal mining states of this country protective regulations for the use of blasting materials are few and in many states no attempt is made to control the kind of powder used.
 The experimental station in Belgium was intensely interesting to MT. Hall, the gas used in the tests coming from an abandoned mine. In test of safe ty lamps witnessed by MT. Hall at this station the lamp most generally used in the mines of the United States be
