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.

itics, but will leave the government to the

CLOSED BY THE BANIK EXAEIINER.

The American Loan and Trust Com.-
pany’s Capital Depreciated $1,000,000.

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.

ROYAL SECRETS In DANGER

 

The lilission of Duke Ernest, at the ‘Kais-
er’s Request, to the Est-Chancellor to.
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

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.” ,

and Two; Perdo‘ns Missing.
CINCINNATI, 0., Feb. 19.——The steamer
Thomas Sherlock, of the Southern Trans-
portation company, cleared for New Or-
leans with twenty—one registered and nine
unregistered passengers, a large crew and
400 tons of freight. In passing the Chesa-

peake andOhio bridge she swerved, failed .
"to obey her helm and struck the channel

pier on the Ohio side amidship, starboard
side. She at once began to sink and was

soOn covered to her upper deck, upon.

which passengers and crew huddled, most-
ly with life preservers on, and many of
them to their knees in water.
is that the upper works floated off the hull.
The steamer’s signals of distress attracted
attention, and the harbor tug Martin went
to the rescue, overtaking the floating
wreck in the darkness and rescuing the
passengers. ’ .

Mrs: J. McLean, of Pittsburg, was
crushed to death or drowned, and “fill C.
Lepper, of Madison, Ind., third clerk, and
little Margery L. Brown, of Pittsburg, are
missing.

The money loss on the boat is $0,000,
partly covered by $12,000 insurance, and
the loss on the freight is unknown, but
very great. It is believed that all are ac-
counted for except the two missing.

Latcr~\Villiam Mitchell, aged 27, of In—
dianapolis, and employed on the steamer
as a cabin boy, escaped by swimming
ashore. Hc declares that the mate and en-
gineer were both drunk and that the ves-
sel was short of hands because the oflicers
would not pay enough money to get men
to work. He will be held as a witness.

A DIURDEROUS LUNATIC. ‘

He Shoots Dead Two Men in a. Pullman
Palace Car.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 19.—The Pull-
man palacc car on the Iron Mountain pas-
senger train from St. Louis was the scene
of a dreadful tragedy. The train was pull-
ing out from Bald .Knob station. Isadore
Meyer, traveling man for. Foster, Hillson
& 00., of New York, had just transferred
from the Memphis train. He was sitting

in his seat when a man who sat eating

lunch suddenly drew a pistol and fired,
killing Meyer instantly. ‘

Conductor E. W. Leech, of St. Louis,
was on the platform, and, hearing a shot,
pulled the bell to stop the train. The man
thereupon turned and fired at Leech,
shooting him in the head. He fell to the
platform (lead. All the'passengers rushed
from the car, one of whose doors was
locked by the. porter, the murderer locking
the other, leaving it with no other occu—
pant than the dead drummer and himself.
Soon people ran to the train from the
town, many of them armed, and succeeded
in arresting the murderer. .

It was ascertained that he is an insane
man named John W. Greater, from Vin—

cennes, 1nd,, 3. livery man, who two weeks .

ago was taken home from Fort W’orth,
Tex., in shackles, insanity having devel-
oped. After remaininga few days he man-
aged to leave home, and was returning to
Téxas when the tragic affair occurred.
Meyer’s remains were brought to Little
Rock on the train, which arrived several
hours late.

Philadelphia Produce exchange, with their
wives and invited guests, numbering some
400 altogether, left this city at 8:30 XVednes-

capital. The party was under the personal
charge of District Passenger Agent C. R.
MacKenzie. The train was made up of

which were used for the first time. The
party will stop at \Villard’s hotel and the
ltigg’s house while in Washington. ‘

Another Receiver Wanted.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 19.+The Evening Post
says: A report is current that application
will be made at an early date to place the
Ohio and Mississippi railroad in the hands
of a receiver. The earnings of the road for
many months past have exhibited a very
large decrease as-compared with the year
previous. The Ohio and Mississippi was
last relieved from receivership in 1884,
when John M. Douglass, as receiver for
three years, placed it on a paying basis.

Kyle's Election Questioned.

PIERRE, 'S. D., Feb. 19.—Th,e claim has
been raised that Mr. Kyle did not receive
the constitutional number of vetes to elect
him United States senator. It is declared
that 85, a majority of all the members of
the legislature, is required. He received
75. On the other hand, it is asserted that a
majority of those present, if a quorum be
present, is all that is required. According
to this Mr. Kyle received more than the
necessary number.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Feb. 19. — The
schooner Veteran, that sailed from this
port Jan. 7 on a trip to Georges, has not

port. Charles Stinstream was the master
of the vessel.
