AT THE W‘s llllllCl
Johnstown Once Again Swept by
the Water’s Might-y Rush.
THE RIVERS STILL RISING.
PITTsnrRo, Pa. Fol). —-..
:Monday night Stony ('2 ltn
flow its banks. and H-i.‘."l the xv-Itex- cause
pouring steadily into the :‘~l'l'l‘(.l""- and flood-
ed the business district of Jolu‘stown.
Both the Allegheny and Rionongalu-la
rivers \vere rising rapidly anl feeding the.
flood. Reports came from (Iill‘ercnt parts
of the town that thieves were takingad-
vantage of the excitement and plundering
right and left. Mayor iiosc was out and
at work promptly, and by his orders armed
men were detailed in all parts of the city
to remove property to places of safety and
to show no mercy to any bony who was
seen to steal anything.
A little slackening in the rise of the wa-
ters came about infilnight, and Signal Olli—
cer Lorenze endeavored to allay the excite.-
ment by saying that there. were no special
indications of a greater flood, but his pre-
diction brought little comfort in view of
the fact that the water soon began to rise
again, slowly but seadily. A mounted
patrol was established and worked in con-
nection with the gangs of volunteers in
the rousing of sleepers and the moving of
property. The railroad people sent a crew
of men, who worked all night at the stone
bridge, keeping the arches clear.
I The Jail Cleared.
Seven men imprisoned in the town jail
were liberated, because the authorities
feared that they might be drowned like
rats in a cage, as did actually occur at the
time of the great flood. Man y bridges went
down during the night.
Shortly after 1 o’clock Policeman Martin
found an old man struggling in the water
on Market street. He was James Padden,
70 years of age, and is employed as a watch-
man at a company’s store. and was on his
way home when overtaken by the rising
water. He was nearly exhausted and
would surely have been drowned had not
timely help come to him.
All over the city business men hastily
rigged pumps and are laboring to get the
water out of their cellars, but with dis-
couraging results, and a repetition of the
recent flood now seems imminent.
Both .
the rivers are swelling from hour to hour. I
Twenty hours ago the marks showed a I

MARRIED IN PHILADELPHIA
The Lenten Season “I'as Not Allowed to
Dim the Brilliancy of the Cere-
monies—The Bride’s Magnificent
‘ and Costly Presents.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.—Miss Ava Lowle
Willing, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Shippen Willing, was married to Mr. John
Jacob Astor, of New York, at 1 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon. The wedding cere-
mony, which was witnessed by about one
hundred and fifty of the immediate rela-
J. J. ASTOR.
tives and close friends of the Astor and
Willing families, was performed by Rev.
William Neilson McVickar, rector of the
fashionable Episcopal Church of the Holy
Trinity, at the beautiful home of the bride’s
parents on South Broad street. The fact
that the wedding was celebrated in Lent
was not allowed to detract from the brill-
iancy of the occasion.
The bride’s gown was of rich white satin
made in simple fashion, with a flounce of
point lace across the foot of the skirt. The
corsage was slightly opened at the throat
and filled in with lace which matched in
pattern the point lace veil. She wore the
groom’s gifts—a magnificent tiara of dia—
monds made in the shape of fleurde lie
and other jewels of immense value. Her
bouquet was of orchids, valley lilies and
orange blossoms. The splendid train of
the wedding dress was supported by pages.
The Bridesmaids.
The bridesmaids were Miss Grace "Wil-
son, sister of Mr. Orme \Vilson, whose
Beatrice Chapman, direct descendent of
John Jay; Miss Ethel Cram. Miss Mabel
, , , ; Asburst and Miss \Villing, cousins of the
Both rivers and their branches must in- j '
A height of thirty— '
three feet at least is looked for and the:
greatest efforts are making to meet this j
emergency.
Should the water go higher
no effort can avert- enormous loss of life ;
and property.
\Yord comes from the lower part of Alle-
ghany that a house has been swept- away
and all its occupants drowned, but no?
names or particulars can be obtained at ‘
present. All the large stores 011 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, a square away from the
Alleghany river, are flooded, and the work
of removing property is very dangerous
and slow.
All of the railroads are seriously disabled
by landslides and washouts, and all trains
which have not been abandoned are very
late. At Jeannette many persons have
abandoned their homes to the flood and
have sought personal safety on the higher
ground. Many bridges and houses have
gone down already, and the water is rising
at that point very rapidly.
Bradford Sulnnerged.
All railroad traffic has been suspended at
\Vashington, Pa, since the bridges are not
considered safe, and at Temperancevillc, a
suburb of this city, the Chartiers creek .
covers half the town and is spreading. :
Hundreds are homeless, and since all the
trains are tied up they can only seek the ;
higher ground and take with them what
few belongings they can carry in their
hands.
A message from Bradford tells that both I
branches of the Turva creek have become .
roaring rivers, and Davies, Florence, Fore- .
man and Ann streets are inundated. The
flood came almost with a sudden rush, and
persons living on lower Ann street ware
hastily roused and taken from their houses
in boats. The water has come into Bevairo
& Seyfang’s Mammoth iron works, and all
the fires are put out.- The flood is still ris-
ing rapidly. .
A late dispatch from J ohnstown says
that it is raining heavily. The rivers have
risen about seventeen feet and are still
rising. The lower portions of the town are
inundated.
Ohio Rivers 1.Vny Up.
CISCIXXATI, Feb. 18.——The Ohio river is
over forty—six feet above the low water
mark. Avery heavy rain fell in the south-
ern part of the state Sunday night. Mill
creek is as high as ever was known. It
washed away all the bridges at Ivoryville
and endangered others near Cuttingville,
both within five miles of the business part
of the city. -
The Little Miami was so high at Love—
land that the bridges had to be weightol
to save them. Despatches from \Vest Vii”
ginia say that the tributaries of the Ohio
are very high and still rising. Unless an-
other rain storm sets in the river here will
not reach above fifty-three or fifty—four
feet.
High \Vater in California.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb, 18.—-From three to
seven inches of rain fell throughout the
state since Saturday night. The fall was
heaviest *in the Sacramento valley and
lightest in San Joaquin valley. The Sac-
ramento river at Sacramento is fifteen feet
above the low tide mark, and the Colorado
river at Yuma is seventeen feet above.
Little or no damage has resulted as yet
from the rainfall.
He Helps to Swell the List.
OMAHA, Feb. 18.~—C. H. Martin has add-
ed his name to the list of defaulters. He
was the confidential agent of Mrs. M. A.
Campbell, a wealthy widow, at Beatrice.
Martin conducted a general loan business
and handled much of Mrs. Campbell’s pri-
vate money. She undertook to collect
from a delinquent debtor, and found that
Martin had already given receipt for the
money. An investigation proved that by
forging notes and mortgages Martin had-
swindled his clients out of over $20,000. He
has fled, and is thought to be in Canada or
on his way to England. He left a wife and
family destitute.
bride, and Miss Cyntra Hutchinson. Their
gowns were very simple and beautiful.
The toilet was a combination of pink
chiffon and mousseline de soie made with
plain skirts just touching the floor. The
corsage was made with peculiar lapped
front and a belt, the ends of which were
caught with two small pink satin bows.
The front of the corsage was made with a
fall of mousseline de soie. The brides aids
also were pretty headdresses of pink
mousseline de soie, caught on the left side
with small pink satin bows, and carried
bouquets of pink roses. ’

used. Among those who sat at the table
were the newly married couple, Mr. and
Mrs. William Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Willing.
Mr. Barton “Willing, Mr. and Mrs. J. Cole-
man Drayton, Mr. and Mrs. James R,

A reception was held from 3 to 5 o’clock,
and between those hours the house was
thronged with representative society peo-
ple of Philadelphia, New York, Boston,
\Vasliington, Baltimore and other leading
cities.
The Bride’s Gifts.
N0 Philadelphia bride ever received pres-
ents as magnificent as those sent to Miss
lVilling. Their aggregate value runs high
up in the hundreds of thousands of dol—
lars. The groomsman’s was a tiara of dia-
monds, possibly unsurpassed by any in
America. His father gave a double bow
knot of diamonds, from which hang pen—
dant a huge brilliant about the size of a
nickel. He also gave a diamond necklace
and a crescent of diamonds and sapphires
some four inches in length.
The principal gift-s of Mrs. Astor were
five diamond stars, each as large as a silver
half dollar. These jewels were inclosed in
a massive box of solid silver. Mrs. Astor
also gave eight silver dishes, each about
three feet in length. Mr. and Mrs. Orine
Wilson sent a pair of magnificent silver
candelabra, over a yard high. Mr. and
Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton’s presents were
two silver dishes of exquisite open work.
Mr. and M13. Edward Morrell, nee Drexel,
gave a silver centerpiece about four feet
long. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt sent a large
centerpiece of silver. Altogether there
were upwards of 300 presents.
The wedding tour consists of a. trip south,
the bride and groom keeping their imme-
diate destination secret. On March % they
will sail for Europe.
THE DEAD WARRIOR. l
A Few Intimate Friends and Veterans
Allowed to See Him.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—-The most intimate ;
friends of Gen. Sherman and the old vet- E
erans that marched with him on his cam— l
paigns have been given the much deserved l
opportunity of viewing the remains of
their late friend and commander.
The general looks quite natural in his
last sleep. There is but a slight discolora~
tion and the face is but little swollen.
There were few visitors at the house Tues-
day, for it had not been well known that
the privilege of viewing thebody would be
granted.
The official programme for the funeral
of Gen. Sherman was given out by Gens.
Slocum and Howard Tuesday afternoon.
The regulation escort, under command
of Col. Langdon, First artillery, will con-
sist of one regiment as infantry, to be com-
posed of a battalion of United States ma-
rines; four companies of United States en—
gineers and six companies of artillery, a
company of light artillery from the army
and the National Guard of the state of New
York, and two troops of cavalry of the Na-
tional Guard, state of New York.
The remains will be received by the es-
cort at the late residence of the general at
2 p. m. on Thursday next. The body will
be borne on a caision preceded by the fol-
lowing named pall bearers in carriages: .
Maj. Gen. J. M. Schofield, Maj. Gen. 0.
0. Howard, Rear Admiral D. L. Braine,

Gibson Has Been Indicted.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.—Secretary George J.
Gibson, of the whisky trust, was indicted
by the grand jury yesterday afternoon.
The law under which Gibson will be held
relates to the possession, manufacture and
guilty knowledge of explosives intended
to be used for the injury of any building
or person. The most damaging evidence
.»"ainst Gibson was given by Special
Gauger T. S. Dewar. Dewar had the let-
ters received from Gibson, and also the
bottle of fluid and the infernal machine
alleged to have been sent to him by his
secretary. During Dewar’s testimony an
experiment showing the inflammable nat-
ure of the Gibson fluid was made. A pa-
per saturated with the stufii burned furi—
ously. The jury voted unanimously for
an indictment.

BOSTON, Feb. 18.—The headless body of
a well dressed middle aged man was
found 011 the Old Colony railroad track
near the South Boston station. He had
been seen to board an inward train a few
minutes before. In his pockets were a
gold watch, over $100 in money and a
bunch of keys marked “Portland Ex-
press,” and the name “Ira F. Clark, Port-
land, Me,” was Written in his hat. A

longed in that city and was going south
on a vacation trip, the first in ten years,

THE CHILIAN BEVOLT.
the Government Forces Defeated—The
Rebels Advancing on the Capital.
BUENOS AYREs, Feb. 18.—The revolu-
tionists have defeated the government
forces at Quillota. and Coquimbo. The in- I
aux-gents are rapidly increasing in num-
bers and advancing upon Santiago de
Chili, the capital. Only a few towns re-
main loyal to the Chilian government.
The movement of government troops is
greatly retarded by the destruction of the
railways by the revolutionists. In the
capital, President Balmaceda is 'well sup-
ported, and is said to feel confident of his
ability to repel the insurgents. Apprehen-
sions are felt that the effects of the revolt
will prove disastrous to the financial and
commercial interests of the country.
During the course of a fight at Tarapaca
the mines at that place were set on fire
and afterward flooded in an attempt to
subdue the flames. The German minors
employed in the mines fled into the in—
terior. The work of destruction is sup—
posed to have been done by a landing party
from an insurgent war vessel.
At Coronel the coal depots have been
pillaged by insurgent sailors sent ashore
to procure coal for rebel warships.
WVILLIADI ICEENLY IRRITATED.
A Rumor That He Is to Prosecute Prince
Bismarck
BERLIN, Feb. 18.—This city is ringing
with Bismarck’s protest against the policy
“which removed the corn duties and gave
us the Jesuits.” “It impalcs the emperor
and his chancellor on one spear,” writes
one of the leading correspondents, “and
will be repeated from one end of the em—
pire to the other where Bismarck’s former
utterances were hardly noticed.”
The emperor is said to be more keenly
irritated than by anything Bismarck had
said previously; but there is no possible
ground in the remark for action against
the (ax-chancellor, as it was simply an ex-
pression of opinion. The kaiser feels all
the more keenly as he has no intention of
admitting the Jesuits to the empire, that
being one point on which he declines to
yield to Rome.
The Paris Dix Neuvieme says that Em-
peror “'illiam is waiting for the publica-
tion of the memoirs of Prince Bismarck
before prosecuting the ex-chancellor.
A Boy’s Fearful Agony.
SHRUB OAK, N. Y. Feb. 18. ——Harold
Strung, 'the 14-year-old son of Farmer A. K
Stran g, was riding a horse at a gallop over
the plains of Shrub Oak. The horse threw
him and dragged him nearly a mile by the
leg, the boy’s left foot- being caught fast in
the stirrup. Fortunately the ground was
moist. Although his head struck the
ground with every leap of the horse, he
was not killed. The horse finally stopped.
Just at this moment a passerby saw the
lad’s predicament and rescued him. He
was insensible, and so badly bruised and
maimed that it was impossible to move
him. Dr. Curry was sent for, and he had
the lad placed on a mattress. The mat-
tress was then borne to the doctor’s office.
At every motion of the mattress the lad
screamed with pain and agony. The doc-
tor is doing all he can to save the boy’s
life, but it is a question if he will live.
Slaughter in the Caroline Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—A private let—
ter from the Caroline islands gives an ac-
count- of further fighting between the na-
tives and Spaniards, in which the latter
were worsted. Last November the Span-
ish government sent an expedition con-
sisting of three gunboats and one trans-
port against- the village of Metalamei.
The sailors and troops landed, and after
the loss of sixty men made the natives re-
treat. The Spaniards were reinforced, and
six days later attacked the natives. The
latter were behind a barricade and were
armed with muskets and two small can-
non. The Spaniards were badly repulsed,
with a loss of 120 men. It is expected that
a general uprising of the natives will take
place, and the governor has dispatched
ships to Manilla for troops.
lladziwill’s Generous Offer.
BERLIN, Feb. 18.—Prince Radziwill has
offered to settle his gambling debts by pay-
ing a 10 per cent. dividend. This offer has
been declined by Mr. Howard, a secretary
of the British embassy, who is one of the
uohleman’s creditors. It is reported that
Prince lladziwill will seek to revenge him-
self upon ).Ir. Howard by using his influ-
enceto compel that gentleman’s resigna-
tion of his past. Prince Radziwill’s debts
amount to many millions.
The Ayer Bank Reopens.
AYER, Mass, Feb. 18..——The First Na-

ment will prove successful.
