III It I i IiIIIIIGII l‘owns Aims the lfonongahela Sub- lllcl'gcdlyby die Floods. Bridges Swept Away [and Many Houses Moved From Their Foundations—The Loss 3100,000—Great Damage Along the Ohio Too. Exceeds gahela river and Turtle czcek started on a rampage, and thousi'rt: of dollars wort-h of property has been LtrllOI'z'd. Early today the river was rising .‘31 inches an hour and at 11 o’clock was six inches below the fidod tide of 1884. in the Turtle creek valley the residents are suffering the most. The heavy rains of the last week have swollen the streams, and Turtle creek, which is normally a brook, is now, a. raging river. The borough of Turtle Creek, with 5,000 inhabitants, and the villages of Newtown merding and Wall, east Of Turtle Creek, are practically submerged. The streets Of the town are below the creek bed, and when an overflow occurs the streets are passable only with canoes, and the lower floors of the houses rest in four to six feet of water. This is the condition now. . On Pennsylvania and A irbrake avenues, Turtle Creek, eight houses have been moved from their foundations and are al- most toppling. The damage to household goods is enor- mous. Three ircn L-ridgcs have been washed away between Turtle Creek and Newtown. The Pennsylvania railroad car shops at Wall are partly under water. The West- inghouse Airbrake works at Wilmerding are flooded on the lower floors, and the mills had to suspend at 9 o’clock. The backwattr from the Monongahela river surged into the Westinghouse Elec. trio works at Bunion at 6 o’clock this morning and did enormous damage to the fine patterns and delicate machinery. A Small Landslide. At 11 o’clock today a landslide occurred at Bunton, near the Westinghouse works, where grading is being done for Carnegie’s 'new Butler and Pittsburg railroad. ‘ The tracks of the Second Avenue Trac- tion company and the houses along the street car lines, just east Of the Edgar Thomson Steel works, for three-quarters of a. mile are under three feet of water. Traflic is suspended. Carnegie’s foundries were forced to close this morning at 7 o’clock because the fur- nace fires were put out. The Monongahela is hacking into the stockyards of the nine Carnegie blast fur- naces, and ore wheelers work knee deep in water. The furnaces will likely have to be put out. The Braddock Watch works pumps are under five feet of water, and if the river rises two feet higher the engine fires will go out and the city water supply will be cut off. Three small frame houses and several shanties floated down the river at 11.30 o’clock. The two Carrie blast furnaces, employ- ing 500 men; Braddock Wire works of the Consolidated Steel and Wire company, employing 1,100 hands, and the Duquesne Forge and Chessbook & Co’s expanded metal works in West Braddock suspended The present loss in the districts de- scribed is estimated at over $100,000. Ohio River Rising. CLARKSBURG, W. Va, Feb. 24.—From present indications this section will suffer as badly, if not worse, from floods than in 1888.

H. road is completely blocked by landslides and washouts and will not be able to get any trains through for sev- eral days. , The Virginia and Pittsburg railroad is even in worse condition, and word has just been received that water is eight inches deep in the station at Buchanan and is rising rapidly. All the Baltimore and Ohio trains have been several hours late, caused, by the nu- merous slips and washouts, and it is ex~ mg. The river is now rising at the rate of one foot per hour. .

They report almost unprecedented height of waters both in Kanawha and West Fork rivers. The West Virginia. and Pittsburg railroad near Clarksburg has been block- aded by washouts, and other roads are threatened. Unless more rain falls the rise here is not likely to go above 55 feet. WHEELING, Feb. 24.—Atmidnighta big slide on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad blocked both tracks at Piedmont. The Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad lost trestles‘ that will close it for two weeks.

Cook were washed down the Ohio by the Licking river swell at railroad bridge pier last night. GRAYVILLE, 1115., Feb. 24.—Tl§ Wabash river at this point is rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The lowlands are all under water, and as the rain is continue ing it is thought that the entire river bot- toms will be flooded. The river is new higher than it has been for three years.

LONDON, Feb. 23.—-The afternoon news- papers all comment favorably upon the announcement made by the American correspondent of the London Times that 'Colonel John Hay has been definitely se- lected by President Elect McKinley to be the successor of Mr. Thomas F. Bayard as ambassador of the United States to the court of St. James1 Owing to over-crowding and bad ventil- ation, the air of the schoolroom is often close and impure, and teachers and pupils fre: quently suffer from lung and throat trou- ‘bles.

Central Scott, of Revolutionary It‘a‘lrxe.‘ Says that He Did. Charles Scott was a native of Dum- berland county, in Virginia. He raised . the first company of volunteers in that state, south of the James river, that actually entered into the continental service. ‘So' much was be appreciated, that, in 1777, hut-an county was named in honor of mm. Congress appointed him a brigai dier in the continental army on the first of April, 1777. He served with distinction during the war, and at its termination he went to Kentucky. He settled in Woodford county, in that state, in 1785. He was with St. Clair at. his defeat in 1791; and in 1794 he ommanded a portion of Wayne’s army at the battle of the Fallen Tim- ber. He was governor of Kentucky form 1808 to 1812” General Scott had a most iuvc crate habit of swearing; whether in private . or public. society, on the farm, or the field of battle, every other word was an oath. On the night preceding the battle of Princeton, Scott received an order from the commander-ln—chief in person to defend a bridge to the last extremity. “To the last 111311,'3'OIII " cxcellenc’y,” replied Scott; and forget— ting the presence of his chief. accom— panied the words with tremendous oaths. The general. as may be: well supposed, had but little time, on that' eventful evening, to notice or chide this want of decorum in his brave and well-tried soldier. After the war, a friend of the gallant general, anx- ious to reform his evil habits, asked him whether It was possible that the man so much beloved. the admired Washington, eve: swore? Scott re- flected fora moment, and then ex- claimed, “Yes, once. It was at Mon- mouth, and on a day that would have made any man swear. Yes, sir, he swore on that (lay, tiLI the leaves shook on the trees, charming, delightful. Never have I enjoyed such swearing before. or since. Sir. on that ever-me- morable day he swore like an angel from Heaven.” The_ reformer aban- doned the general in despair. OF INTEREST TO CYCLERS. Don’t ride your bicycle in such a po- sition as to have the appearance of try- ing to grind the end of your nose off on the front wheel. The agitation for good roads is to be kept up in Albany this year and the organized wheelmen are to take a A bill is to be pushed in the Legislature appropriating the sum of $500,000 for road improvement in 1897. Ata meeting of the New Jersey State Board ‘of Agriculture, there was an adverse report on a resolution to tax bicycles on the ground that the farmers’ children were using bicycles freely and that bicyclists give sub- .stantial support to the, agitation for good roads. * A wise wheelman denounces the in- justice of compelling wheelmen to car- ry lanterns and allowing" carriages to travel unlighted. He tells us that while riding one evening with his lamp burning he ran into a team and was badly bruised. The wagon contained two drunken men who were fast asleep. Why he should carry a lamp and they ride in darkness he cannot understand. The most stupid anti—cyclist law,’ and there havi, been many of them. says the Ame’ icon Wheelman, 18 re- ported from Austria, where, in the District of Neustadt, the gender-mes have been arresting all cyclists riding . in daytime without lanterns. 'l‘he cy- riists of Vienna, the most progressive- \ :heelmen in the empire, where the sport i: not yet free from many vexatious l~"Stl‘lCthllS, fomented the most active resistance to the law. A leading journal of the city called on the 20,000 riders Of the capital to visit Neustadt en masse and, by compelling thous— ands of arrests, to show the stupidity of the law. A syndicate has been formed in Den- ver in the interest of a most novel en- terprise connected with cycling. In brief, the plan is to build a 1,000—mile bicycle tourist circuit in the moun- tains, starting from Denver and e}:- tending to Estes I’llrk, seventy-five miles distant, said to be one of the most beautiful natural parks in the world. From there it is proposed to circle the west and south to a place called Manitou via the Ute Pass, and returning to Denver by way of Maui- tou Park and South Platte. The plan includes the building of cabins about twelve miles apart, and hotels about sore :‘ty-iivc miles apart, one of which is to be a sanitarium. The scheme scents :1 wild one, but is said to be backed by influential capitalists inter- ested in booming the general interests of the state. The military use of bicycles is a. sub- ject receiving an. astonishing amount of attention just now in Continental war .Oflices. Germany and France are the most active rivals in the com- petition, and some of the experiments which have been undertaken recently would seem absurd to all ex cept bicycle enthusiasts .of the ex- tremest type. Imagine, for instance. equipping the infantry of an army with bicycles! And yet that is precise- ly the experiment which the French , authorities are trying on a small scale. Cyclists have long been an important- feature’of French military e’qmpment, but until recently “their function has been chiefly to carry messages, or per- haps- to make a flying observation sortie. Now is is sugeg‘sted that they may be made of use as combatants, or. rather, that a section of French“ in: fantry,,might be eqripped'i-witli pow... . .> A.. :, .. > “-2 ... . the shire town of POW— , \
