PITTSBURC FLOODED.
Worst Inundation Ever Re- corded In Pennsylvania.
TWO ICE CORGES BREAK ABOVE CITY
Whole Lower District Under Water. skiGs Tn Use on Streets-FOurteen Reported Victims of the
 Rising Waters.

PITTSBURG. March 15.-The great est flood In the history of western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and east, ern Ohio is being experienced, the wa ter here reaching a stage of 34.6 feet at Hers island and 34.3 feet at Mar, ket street. It continues to rise stead fly about two-tenths of an inch an hour. At the headwaters the rivers are now stationary. The present stage is twelve feet above the danger mark. On the river the thirty mile ice gorge at Parker, Pa. broke and is moving toward the city. The immense gorge in the Clarion river has also started downstream. Both gorges. however, are old, and the ice is soft. On this account the arrival here is not expected to cause much damage.
 Conditions in this city are the worst ever recorded. The whole lower down town district is under water, and peo- pie are moving about In wagons and skiffs. Duauesne way. Penn avenue and Liberty street. running parallel with the Allegheny river are sub merged to depth of several feet. Hundreds of business houses located in this district are flooded. In num- Der of instances the water is almost up to the second floor.
 The Gayety, Belasce, Alvin and Bi- jou theaters are surrounded by water and will be unable to open for several days. Water has destroyed or greatly damaged the power plants of all the four theaters
 The guests in the Colonial. Lincoln. Annex and Anderson hotels are either marooned or compelled to use skins to and from the buildings.
 Trolley service between Pittsburg and Allegheny was suspended early in the day. and the scenes at the Union depot of the Pennsylvania railroad are almost beyond description. Great pla- rards announcing the inauguration of special train service to Allegheny are displayed all through the town.
 Within the last thirty-siS hours four teen fatalities directly due to the flood have occurred.
 The damage to perishahle goods and property in the Pittsburg district alone will amount to $l.00o.O0o probably more. In addition to Sis. much de struction is being done to property throughout western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
 At ConneIlsville, Pa. tine damage to the coke region Is estimated at $2,0OO- poO.
 Over 100000 persons are temporarily out of employment The Westinghouse works, employing 30.Oo0. are shut down. and the damage. to machinery is estimated at S5O.ooo. All the mines along the Monongshela river are food ed. and 10000 miners are affected.
 William Bashforth of West Newton, Pa. coal miner. gave his life to save two women. his skin being upset
 The damage throughout the western end of the state is incalculable. At Latrobe three men and woman are marooned on an island.
