One Cent. Absolutely Independent. THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19. 1891. THE WATERS MAD HUSH Fifteen Hundred Allegheny Families. Isolated by ‘the Flood. MUST FAST TILL RESGUED. PITTSBURG. Feb. 19.——T‘.:e rivers about Pittsburg are higher than they were known to be except during the great floods of 1832 and 1884. All Tuesday night long the Allegheny and Monongahela continued to rise until the latter touched thirty-one feet one inch at 9 o’clock W'ednesday morning, when it came to a standstill. The Alle- gheny continues to rise. Hundreds of people have been driven from their homes, and all the iron mills and manufacturing establishments on the banks have been Compelled to close. The poorer people are the greatest suf- ferers. Great loss is caused by the closing of the largest mills and works. Thousands of empl’oyes are thrown out of employ- ment, and the owners lose both by their fires being put out and by damage to the machinery. Allegheny is suffering most of all. About 1,500 families are surrounded by a waste of water ranging from two to eight feet deep and without means of Ob- taining provisions until succor reaches them. . One Life Reported Lost. From Anderson street to Smoky island is a continuous stretch of river, extending back to Lacock and the foot of Monument hill. Allegheny City will have no illumi- nating gas, as the rising waters have flood- ed the gas works. Communication be- tween Pittsburg and Allegheny is impos- sible over the bridges in the business part of the city. Travel is done over the Fort \Vayne railway bridge, the road running trains every few minutes. All the streets for two squares from the Allegheny on both sides of the river have been converted into canals and street car traffic stopped. Letter carriers are mak- ing attempts to collect the mail in boats, but they find very little to collect, as no one cares to hire a boat to deposit a letter in lamppost boxes. In the flooded dis- trict people who have not deserted their homes entirely have taken refuge in the second story. There is five feet of water in the parquet of the Duquesne theatre. A boy named John Herr is reported drowned. Some of the Losses. . Some of the losses are as follows: Pitts- burg and \Vestern railroad, cars swept away, offices, shops and rolling stock in- jured, $25,000; office at Exposition park sWept away; Arctic Ice company, $5,000 to $8,000; Damascus bronze foundry, sand and patterns ruined; Evans foundry, $2,000 to $3,000; Eagle Paint company, F. W. Girty-‘s lead works and McClintock & Irvine’s, South avenue, $2,000 to $3,000 each; Charles nut works, furnace nearly ruined; Star iron works, La Belle steel works and D. K. Agnew’s crucible works, at Manchester, pits and furnaces injured. All Danger from the Flood Is Passed. PITTSBURG, Feb. 19.-—The official report from the United States signal office in this city at 10:30 o’clock Wednesday was as fol- lows: All head waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers are falling. At 10 o’clock the official gauge recorded: Mon- ongahela river,_31 feet 3 inches; Allegheny, 31 feet 5 inches, and stationary in both rivers. This is the highest point reached by this flood, and by 12 o’clock noon the waters will begin to recede. It is believed that all danger from the flood is passed.” River men claim, however, that the 32 foot gauge was touched during the night. The Intombed Juniors. HAZLETON, Pa., Feb. 19.——An efiort was made to reach the bodies of the victims of the flooded mine at J eanesville, sufficient progress havingbeen made in pumping the watel'from the slope to permit of it. Superintendent McFarlane and a force of men succeeded in reaching the breastworks, where it was expected the body of Edward Gallagher would be found. When about half way down the breast, or about fifty yards from the platform, their progress was Stopped by a large quantity of coal which had fallen since the flooding of the mine. They found nothing to give any idea of where Gallagher’s body was. Many persons here are still of the belief that all of the men were not drowned. They think that some of them reached a point of safety, and have smce succumbed to starvation. The Superintendent to Blame. LANSING, Mich., Feb. 19.~—The investiga— tion made by the appointed committee of the legislature as to the death of Nellie Griffin, whmvas taken from the state pub— lic school at Goldwater and murdered and her body thrown into the river, resulted in Superintendent Newkirk’s admission that he had violated the law which made it im- perative that he should examine the refer- ences of each person applying for a ward. The committee \vill recommend, in its report to the legislature, that Newkirk be discharged, and if he succeeds in rallying his friends to defeat this end Governor \Vi— nans will peremptorily remove him. Valuable lilachincry Ruined. PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 19.—’l‘he Duquesne Traction company’s power house at Ben, Venue station was damaged by fire, and the valuable machinery, consisting of en- gines and dynamos, were ruined. The fire was caused by the explosion of a gasoline lamp. The loss will reach $100,000; no in-' surance. The road would have been in operation March 1, but the fire will neces- sitate a delay of ninety days. Sleeps Under the King’s Coffin.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—-The American Loan and Trust company closed its doors \Vednesday at 12:30 p. m. The institution was ordered to close by the bank examiner. Inquiry at the ofiice of the company elicited the information from the bank ex- aminer that he had ordered the peremp- tory closing of the institution because he had discovered that the capital of the con- cern had been depreciated to the amount of about $1,000,000. Representatives of several savings banks which- were depositors with the company presented big checks at the company’s office early in the day and payment was re- fused. Several of the interested saving bank presidents, who had anticipated the result, made formal application to the bank superintendent to proceed to close up the affairs of the company. Savings bank deposits are preferred and do not come within" the five days’ provision. Bank Superintendent Preston then ordered the doors closed. Mr. Preston stated that he believed from the result of the exami- nation that the company would be able to meet all its obligations. There were three savings banks—one in Syracuse, one inRochester, and another outside bank, the names of which are not known—demanded payment of deposits amounting to $360,000. The institution could not pay, and at the request of one of the sayings banks the superintendent took possession. The deposits of the company amounted to about $2,275,000, and of this, amount over 60 per cent. has been paid out since the run commenced. Smallpox in Belfast.

Have Him Suppress Some Things He Knows of Proves a Failure. ' BERLIN, Feb. 19.-—The kaiser, desirous of sparing the feelings of Bismarck, re— quested Duke Ernest of Saxc-Coburg, at the time that the opera of that prince was produced in Hamburg, to take the oppor- tunity of visiting Bismarck and rcmon- strating with him on his course in talking over affairs 0." state and attacking the kai- ser and his policy. The presence of Duke Ernest in Hamburg was supposed at the time to be connected with the production of his opera, and his visit to Bismarck at- tracted no attention. The visit, however, was of a most important character. Prince Ernest is a brother of the late Prince Albert, prince consort of England, and is therefore granduncle to the kaiser. He is highly respected, both on account of his years, being nearly 78, and his per- sonal qualities, and as he is one of the reigning sovereigns of Germany, Bismarck could take no offense at his being chosen for the kaiser’s mouthpiece. He is said to have requested Bismarck respectfully, in behalf not of the kaiser alone, but of the imperial family, not to publish to the world secrets of that family which became known to him in his con— fidential relation of chancellor, and also to withhold from discussing affairs of state from the standpoint of his special knowl— edge as chancellor of the empire. Duke Ernest carried no menace, except in so far that he said that the kaiser felt it a duty, however much it might pain him, to take the necessary steps to protect the dignity of the thrOne and the interests of the cm- pIre. Bismarck’s reply is not stated, but it is understood not to have been satisfactory to the kaiser. Everybody speaks well of the “kaiser’s tact in selecting for the mission to Bismarck a man as venerable and eminent as Duke Ernest. The Paris Figaro makes the assertion that Prince Bismarck has dispatched four boxes filled with documents of the first im— portance to London, with a view to pre- venting their incriminating him _ in the event of his being prosecuted for his politi— cal utterances. A W'ranglo Over \the Funds. LONDON, Feb. 19.——It is stated that the $40,000 which a month ago was released from the league funds was divided in the following manner: $25,000 to the campaign committee and $515,000 to the Tenants’ De- fense league. Out of the disposition of the latter sum has grown a dispute be- tween the MeCarthyites and the Parnell— ites which is likely to figure prominently during'the coming contest for supremacy. The McCarthyitc idea is that the amount is disproportionate to the number of evict ed persons who had been relieved by the league: This point, however, they are ap- parently willing to waive. Still, as a matter of fact, they insist that instead of being sent to the relief of evicted tenants it was used to take up an over- draft on the Hibernian bank. In a letter to Mr. McCarthy Mr. Thomas P. Gill rather evades the matter at- issue by asserting that his signing the release was done at a time when Mr. McCarthy must have known the fund for the relief of evicted tenants to have been largel y over-drawn. The checks of Messrs. J. F. X. O’Brien and J. J. Clancy were dishonored, not— withstanding the fact that it was evident that Mr. McCarthy had departed from Boulogne, believing the funds were in- tended solely for the relief of the tenants. The proof that Mr. O’Brien approved of providing, in the manner set forth, for the meeting of .the overdraft is asserted to be foundin the statement of Ivlr. Timothy Harrington, made last night, to the effect that he held a document proving that the money had been distributed as sug— gested by Mr. O’Brien. ' The mooted question ,now seems to be whether there was a misconception at Boulogne, or whether Mr. O’Brien de- cided that in adjusting the bank account he was living up to the conditions of the agreement. President Brcyfoglc Accused. CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—-VVillian1 S. Alley has applied for a receiver for the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad com— pany. He accuses President Breyfogle and several directors of: conspiring with Henry S. Ives to wreck the company. It is charged that the plan was to increase the capital stock from $3,000,000 to $7,500,000, the additional $3,500,000 to go to Breyfogle, who is further charged with dividing up the stock to conceal fraud, and with mis- appropriating large blocks of stock. The matter has been referred to a master in Chancery. - Retraction Demanded and Refused. ST. (PAUL, Minn, Feb: 19.——Ignatius Donnelly has given The Pioneer Press the necessary three days’ notice to retract be fore filing his $100,000 libel suit. In his letter to Joseph A. \Vheclock, editor of the paper, Donnelly denies every one of the charges of bribery made sgainst him by Mr. King. Mr. Wheelocl-‘z refuses- tore- tract, but says, “\Ve'. are quite willing to say that we know nothing personally, or except by hearsayand at second hand, of. the truth of any of the charges contained in Mr. King’s letter.” , Revision of the Confession of Faith.
