WHEELING RECOVERING
Middle of Week Before Business Can
Be Resumed

"Hr1fLlNI, w. Va, March 1S.-The
river has returned to its channel and
"heehng IS slowly recovering from the
flood. The principal work today was re-
lieving the suffering and restitution. which
is greater than ever before known in this
city.
A relief station supplied with goods fur
nishcd by voluntary subscriptions was
opened today, and there was a great rush
Of refugees about the place. BY noon
about LOGO persons had been supplied
WITH food, clothing and coal. Fortunately
the bright sunshine minmizes the suffering
somewhat.
IT will be the middle of the week, how
ever, before business can be resumed. Big
gangs of men are at work in the wholesale
district, in which not one of the 100 or more
establishments escaped the high water
The task of replacing goods in the ware
rooms will require great deal of time
and completely block the ordinary custom
of buying and selling merchandise.
The funerals of eight of the Syrian vic
Tins, whose bodies We're recovered from
the flood, will be held simultaneously to-
morrow morning under the auspices of the
Catholic Church. Bishop Donohlie will Of
ficiate. The ra .lroads have all succeeded
in restoring a limited passenger SERVICE
and the street cars are also running again.

of cars loaded with perishable freight de-
tainei by the flood on the Pittsburg division

up but as many trains as possible are now
being moved. The ice has beel out of
the tanks in the perishable cars for nearly
three days. Only one track is available ON
the PittsburG division for much of the dis
lance, and the great freight conges don Sc
riously interferes with the running OF pas
senger trains. Large gangs are at work re-
pairing the DANA ge. Passenger trains are
generally consolidated.
No attempt has been made. to run on
schedule, but it is believed that today
