AT BENWOOD
Mill Town Of Marshall County Will
Feel the Effects OF the Flood
In No Mild Form.

Benwood has taken care OF the pos
sibility OF a coal famine owing to the
flood. The Wheeling Steel and Iron
company donated thirty tone OF coal
to possible sufferers which is placed
at the corner OF Eighth and McMechen
streets, Benwood. with a man in
charge. The Hitchman Coal company
also furnished a car on which the city
of Benwood must pa the freight.
This was placed at the corner of
Fourth and McMechen streets.
II will take 80 feet to flood the Sec
and and Third wards. Benwood. or
that section known as Center Ben
wood. The food gates in the sewers
have recently been put in commission
and two large centrifugal pumps were
yesterday oiled and cleaned up. As
neither the Wheeling Steel and Iron
plant nor the National Tube company
are in operation the flood will not be
seriously effected
The Wheeling Steel and Iron plant
will be flooded at 80 feet. while the
National Tube company plant will be
flooded at 40 feet The subway. north

The railroads entering Bellaire will
be slightly inconvenienced. The Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad will be able TO
continue operations over the main

will probably suspend operations. as a
42-foot stage will put the water over
the tracks in Bellaire. The Powhatan
division will not be able to operate
for several days, as section OF the
road was covered with a slip which
occurred at Dilne's Bottom yester-
day.
Only one school building in Bellaire
will be affected by the high water.
This is the Union street school. and
superintendent J. A. Jackson an
nounced that IL will be closed to-day.
A stage OF 80 feet puts the water in
