FURIOUS FLOOD IN THE OHIO.

Down on Industries.

the Ohio from the Allegheny river,

up and down the river. When the
sharp rays of the light fell on the first
foes of the broken gorge the picture
was picturesque. The rush of waters
appeared first in a white ridge across
the river about a foot high. AS the
ice struck boat hulls, piers and the
river bank it crumbled and foated
away as slush.

were forced to shut down, but no seri-

though arousing keen interest the

renee, Massachusetts,; J. Sloat Fas-
sett, of New York; Sylvester c.

Two ballots were taken, the four
first named receiving majority of

the two last named being chosen on
the second ballot. - s+sat., sT",ry %'
The six members named repre-
sent slate prepared by Represen-
tat1ve Tawney OF Minnesota Turing
the day, after numerous conferences
with both regulars and insurgents.
The vote in the caucus tonight
was taken by written ballot, each
member writing names of six men
for whom he desired to vote: There
were 19 names placed in nomination
and a large number besides these
received complimentary votes. Rep
resentative Gardner of Massachu-
setts received 33 votes, the highest
number cast for any insurgent.
The only incident which threaten
led to produce anything approaching
excitement was when Representa-
tive Tawney arose soon after the
melting began and offered resolu-
tion proposing the list of six men
as named.
Immediately there was objections
from an insurgent from Iowa to the
restricted nominations and an in
formal nominating ballot was pro-
posed. To this Mr.. Tawney demur-
red and Representative Mccall of
