city east OF the c. & p. tracks. The
condition OF the flooded section OF
the town. which Is inhabited almost
wholly by mill workers. is so serious
that the city council met in special
session yesterday afternoon and ap-
proprtated $500 to be used in assisting
those who have been rendered home

NO CONFIDENCE
In FLOOD REPORTS

DENTS SUFFER HEAVY =
LOSS THIS YEAR.
Blame 10 Placed BY Sufferers On Re
ports Sent Out BY Govern
ment Forecaster.

Wheeling residents and business
men especially. have lost confidence
in government reports. FOR soma
time past general complaint has been
made on weather reports. but this has
only been treated lightly. as II is well
known that mistakes can be made in
that department. but when reports are
sent out regarding stages OF the river.
and prospective stages when a rise
is in sight. IL is felt that those in
charge OF the department should make
a more careful study OF the situation
and make announcements that will
lead the public. which is likely to
suffer much, 10 protect itself
When the present food was ap-
preaching. United States Forecaster
Pennywitt in Pittsburgh. made a pre-
diction that the river would reach a
stage OF between ~ and IS feet. When
this prediction was made. residents
OF the lowlands prepared for that
much. but az IL was announced that
the stage would not arrive for a num-
Der of hours many persons abided by
the notice sent out and lost heavily.
Misleading Reports.
TIC water came so quickly that
many persons were caught in bed
when the water entered their homes,
and IT was with difficulty that they
saved anything on their first floors.
business men were caught in the
zane manner and many thousands of
dollars were lost. and all because the
reports sent out from the forcaster's
office. whic we're misleading.
At one time during Wednesday
night the forcaster's office was called
and a clerk in the office stated that
he-Rater would not reach more than
e. feet in Wheeling. by the next af-
ternOon. Al that time the river was
rising AZ the rate Of between three
md four inches per hour here, and
The stage was about 40 feet then.
When told this. he insisted that ~

ON THE ISLAND
conditions Remain Much the Same
With Entire Garden Spot

conditions on Wheeling Island re.
main much the same as Thursday. on
account OF the slow manner in which
the flood is Teceding Water To a
depth OF from 4 10 20 feet covers prac.
ucally the entire Island. and the ma.
lority OF residents have water on the
nrst floor. while the second floors of
tnose situated on the lower end OF the
Island have been flooded. No section
OF the city has been damaged 10 so
great an extent as the Island. the fin.
est residence district OF the city.
scores or fine pianos have been ruined
ana furniture and property OF all de-
scription may be seen floating around
in the Hooded houses. This condition
is due TO the fact that the Islanders
TOOK for granted the prediction made
by Pennywitt TO the effect that the
hood would not reach more than IS
rect. The end of the suspension bridge
presents a sight that has not been
seen since the 1854 food. Household
goods are piled upon the stone abut-
ment out Of reach OF the water.
Lower End Deserted.
The lower end Of the Island has
been almost entirely deserted as the
water has reached the second story
OF residences there, and food sufferers
have filled every available room in all
OF the hotels of the city. Travel in
boats on this end OF the Island Is
dangerous as the water barely covers
the electric light wires. In this sec
ton fences and porches have been
torn away by the swift current and an
estimate OF the loss cannot be made
until the food has receded. The
streets nave been torn Up and in many
places gas is escaping.
The advent OF the cold weather has
made y almost impossible to remain
IN tho unheated houses with comfort
and grave fears are held thar an epi-
