Wu.l.l.\uemu'r, Pa, May 22.-—Dnnger has
passed, the muddy waters are slowly re
ceding from the streets, and the flood will
soon in all probability be over. The river
is still far above its usual mark, but it no
longer threatens property and lives.
it was about noon on Sunday that fear
was begun to be felt that the downpour
would cause any serious damage. Then
as the waters roae uneasiness began tc
manifest itself, and the old gray heads,
who have seen many floods before, began
to talk ominously of the possibilities and
to recall the scenes of will, when the river
rose 26 feet. and of 1m, when, in common

losses, and the. Susquehanna attained the

a source of intense concern. By nightfall

gave way with a crash and went rolling
and tumbling down the stream toward
Harrisburg.
As it passed the four bridges below the
city the logs crashed and banged against
the piers with a roar that could be heard
for miles. 80 intense was the gloom that
no one could tell how the structures stood
this shock, but by daylight the last of the
small fortune in logs was gaze, and the
crowds could see how the bridges fared.
Thar at Montgomery street was intact,
as was also the Pennsylvania railroad's
iron span some the river. The Market
street bridge was gone, however, andthree
of the four spans of the Maynard street
structure had succumbed to the rush of
waters and the pounding of the logs.
As the day grew older and when the
light would permit of ltdounaof boats
and hundreds of wagons were brought
into requisition, and merchants began to
move their goods to places of safety. It
was seen that every store in town was in

In the Town's Officers Tried to Stop a Rock

OKLAHOMA Fm, t). T., May 22.-Great
excitement prevails over the capture of a
Rock island train by officers of the city of
Enid for violation of the city ordinance
against running faster than six miles an
hour within the city limits. in a fight be-
tween the crew of the train and the city
officers one of the officers was beaten to
death with a coupling pin in the hands of
a traiuman.
The Enid authorities retaliated for allegc
ed discrimination by [musing the ordi-
nance. A freight train running 30 miles
an hour through the city was compelled to
stop by an accidental breaking of a coup-
ling. The oflicers boarded the train for
the purpose of arresting the crew. A fight
ensued between the trainmen and officers,
coupling pins, clubs and revolvers being
freely used.
During the fight the train started again.

arrest the trniumen. The oflioers were
overpowered and elected, bruised and
bleeding, at the next stop. One of them
has since died of his injuries. There is
strong talk today of using dynamite. The
company will be held responsible for its
acts by the Bold oflloers.
