From Ali Sections in Western Part
of State Overlooking.

Pittsburg, March 14-Pittsburg is
in the throes Of one of it's Creates
foods. The record of ten years has
already been passed and the rivers
are still rising. If the present rate
continues, the record of 1884, when
the water reached the highest stage
since 1885, will have been passed
long before nightfall. The sage in
1884 was 33 feet and four inches.
Thursday at 10 o'clock the mark reg
istered 80 feet with the water creep
ing up at the rate of six inches an
hour and still rising at all headwater
points.
Every tributary along the puper
rivers is swollen and dispatches from
all sections of western Pennsylvania
report the smaller streams beyond
their banks and the surrounding dis
Ericts submerged.
Weather bureau officials predict 81
feet or over az Pittsburg.
II this Stage is reached the flood
will not only be the greatest in rs
years, but the most disastrous in the
history of the city.
Nine deaths are attributed to the
food so far
This includes the three trainmen
who lost their lives by the collapse
Of the Harmersville bridge Wednes-
day and the two men drowned We'd
nesday night when the towboat cruis-
ers capsized in the Ohio river The
other fatalities reported are:
Lloyd Weyand, aged so.
William Byers, aged 40; drowned
In Laurel Hill creek, near Somerset
while trying to ford a stream.
George Johnston, aged 5 years,
drowned in Girly's Run, Milvale.
Annie Shut, aged years, drown
ed in Blue Baker creek, near Hast
ings.
GAINESVILLE, o., March 14.-Flood
conditions through Muskingum county
are growing worse every hour. The
Muskigum and Licking rivers are out
Of their banks in this city, and more.
than a hundreds homes have been
invaded by the high water. 1t is
believed that 300 families will be rem
dered homeless here by Friday, when
the crest of the flood will be reached.
Three Hungarians were drowned
here as result of the flood A
score or more of foreigners were liv-
ing in a house that was surrounded
by the Muskigum river overflow dur
ing the might. When they started
to wade to land three were caught in
the current and swept out into the
river channel

hour Thursday morning. The dead
man is Will Maulding, fagman, who
recently began work for the road
After the smash Of the trains, fire
broke out. Mauldin, who was pin
ioned beneath a car, was burned to
death. The collision was rear
end smash of two freights on the
Western and Atlantic railroad, trains

guiShed

At 900 Men May Strike.

Oakland, CAL, March 14.-Forty-
seven thousand me71 the member
ship of the brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen west of Denver, are vot~
ing whether to go on strike to ga
force demands for an increased scale
OF wages. The poll, the most ex-
tensive movement toward a general
strike since the American railway
union tieup of 1894, has not been
finished. indications are that the
last ballots vii reach the national
headquarters at Cleveland, o., on
March %. The issue seemed to de-
pend mainly on the position taken by
the SwitFhmen's union, which as an
organization is not recognized, it is
said, by either railroad managers or
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men.
