DISASTER BY FLOODS

VAST DAMAGE DONE BY STORM IN THE EAST. Departing Winter Gives a Final Blast Which Kcachea from Canada to South Carolina —Two Feet of Snow Falla in Ohio. Ohio, Pennsylvania, the .Virginias, Kentucky and other Southern States were ravaged by the storm king Friday and Saturday. Such a disastrous state of affairs lias not been experienced in twenty years. Business was at a standstill, mines, factories and streets were Hooded, wires were prostrated in every direction, firealarm and electric light service was crippled, bridges were washed away, street cars were abandoned and railway trains wgrd stalled nil over the country. In cities along the rivers the inhabitants hastened to places of safety, leaving their property to appease the fury of the floods. Enormous damage was done by the snow and rain, which fell continuously for almost two days. High winds added to the general destruction. The floods in the rivers at Pittsburg receded after inflicting damage estimated nt between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, and throwing out of employment 50,000 workingmen. While there have been greater floods there, there was never one chat caused so much financial loss and discomfort. On the Fort Wayne the worst trouble was a snow blockade between Salem and Massillon, Ohio. This began Saturday morning and tied up the road in twenty-four hours. At 9 o’clock Sunday morning the track was cleared and trains began moving. The same trouble kept the Cleveland trains of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie lute, five trains having been blockaded at Windom, near Leavittsburg, for twenty-five hours. This snowfall did not extend oast of Newcastle, but at Youngstown, Ohio, it was two feet deep, and the drifting in the cuts north of that city were up to locomotive headlights. Big landslides occurred on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, the Baltimore and

MAP SHOWING EXTENT OF STORM WHICH CAUSED THE FLOODS.

Ohio at Soho, on the Panhandle, on the south bide, the Bessemer at several points, and the Allegheny Valley near Franklin, l’a. The slide at Soho was 150 feet long, and it required fourteen hours' work to clear one track. At Skobo, between Monaca aud Aliquippa, the Lake Erie received its most serious landslide. One hundred feet of the west-bound track was curried fifty feet down the steep bank, the whole face of the bank slipping down into the river. On the linos of the Pennsylvania an 1 Baltimore and Ohio to Wheeling great damage is reported, and both lines were tied tip for several hours. Five miles of the Pittsburg. Bessemer nnd Lake Erie tracks were either under water or mud. The submerged districts in Pittsburg nnd Allegheny are a scene of abject misery. Cellars and in some instance? the first floors of stores and dwellings were covered with water. When the flood subsided it left behind a greasy, yellow scum two to three ib-.-lies deep. The damage to furniture and buildings in Allegheny is estimated at about SIOO,OOO. It will take two months of hot summer weather to thoroughly dry out these houses. In Pittsburg the loss to residences and stores and goods and the cost of cleaning up will amount to about $250,000 A great deal of damage was caused by the storm in Cleveland, Cincinnati an! other Ohio cities.

WORST EVER KNOWN.

Ne cr Before Wm the Ohio Vnl'cy Flooded So Late in the easan. For several days tlie Ohio liver has been a torrent of mud and water, an 1 it reached the height of fifty-two feet. It has never before been so high this late in the spring. Hundreds of farmers along the Ohio and the Licking will probably be left destitute ns n result of the floods. The conditions up-country are no less serious than those whi li confront the residents of the large towns. Crops have been destroyed and tjie losses will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The torrent was given added fury by rains and snow and it was* feared the record of seveuty-oue feet nnd three-fourths inch, the mark reached by the river in 1884. would lie exceeded. In tKDT and in 1898 there were serious floods. At that time the river reached a height of sixty-oue feet at Cincinnati. At Cincinnati the floods that have been sweeping down the-Ohio valley raised the river two feet above the danger kne and the town was filled with the gravest four It him known for a decade. In seventynine of the city's churches members of all denominations assembled to pray for divine aid iu the crisis that seemed to be at hand. The present flood is the worst that lias ever teen known so late in the spring. The first week in April, 18HI5, the river reached 55 feet 1) inches in Cincinnati nnd that was the highest water over known so late in the spring. There has been no flood iu the Ohio valley since March, ISDN. , The receding, waters will leave a heavy deposit of slime nnd this fact adds’a new element of danger to the situation. It is predicted by physicians that an epidemic of iufluenxa nnd kindred diseases will add its scourge to the havoc wrought toy the flood.

BANDITS HOLD UP A TRAIN.

Masked Robbers Loot Express Car in Arkansas Canebrake. Six masked robbers held up the express train of the Choctaw, Oklahoma , and Gulf Railroad which left Memphis Monday night, the scene of the hold-up being g lonely spot four miles west of the Iron Mountain crossing, beyond the Arkansas line. The express messenger and the porter were shot and the strong box of the Wells-Fargo Express Company looted. The booty was $3,000, it is reported. The truin was a heavy one, nnd every car was filled with passengers. The express company usually carries a heavy consignment of gold on this line, and the robbers seemed well informed of the fact. When the train reached the deserted spot the bandits, who barf boarded the rear car at the Iron Mountain crossing, passed through the coaches nnd met tlie messenger, (J. T. Mender, just as he was entering the express car. The messenger had time to fire only one shot before he was overpowered and the weapon he had always carried for just such occasions taken from him. He was beaten into uneonsCjfonsneas before he gave up the fight. Three of the robbers attended to the express car while the others stood guard over Conductor Nelson and Engineer Johnson. None of the passengers was molested. The bandits stopped the train and pulled the engine and the express car 300 feet ahead of the coaches, and, blowing up the safe with giant powder, secured nil the valuables in the car and escaped. Word was sent to the convict camp at Hulbert. Ark., three miles from the scene of the hold-up and bloodhounds were set on the trail of the bandits.

GOOD ROADS OR NO MAILS.

Formers Told They Must Keep Hijjta* ways Open for Rural Carriers. Good roads are necessary for the continuance of rural free delivery, declares the Postoffiee Department. Notice has been given to patrons of existing routes that unless the roads traversed by carriers are kept in fair condition the service will be abolished. It is asserted that this order will work no unnecessary hardship upon the fanner. Winter, the sea-

son of comparative idleness for the farmer, is the hardest for the letter Carrior. In this season farmers must keep their roads open to travel if they desire to have their mail brought to their doors. An appropriation of $3,000,000 for the extension of the rural service becomes available the first of the fiscal year. Chief Machen.estimates the average yearly cost of one route nt SSOO. At this rate approximately 5,000 routes, allowing for clerical hire and supervision, will be installed during the coming year.

MANY ODD FELLOWS WILL MEET.

Preparations for the Gran 1 Encamp* ment in lndintiapnlts Next Fall. Preparations for the annual I meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, 1. CL O. F„ in Indianapolis Sept. 1(1-31 next are progressing rapidly, and the indications now are that it will be one of the largest and most successful meetings over held by that body. Local Odd Fellows oni business men are taking unusual interest in the meeting, and have appointed committees on arrangements and entertainment which have already accomplished * great ileal of work. Inquiries received from Odd Fellows in* dividunlly and in delegations from all parts of the country indicate that the attendance at the meeting will be the largest in the history of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. Up to this time Boston holds the record iu point of attendance. But if present plans and hopes of the local o<ld Fellows arc realized, 150,000 to 200,000 people will be iu Indianapolis for the five days of the meeting next September.

CAN’T EXCLUDE AUTOMOBILES.

Supreme Court Holds that Streets Are for All Vehicles. A city has no power by ordinance to exclude from its streets automobiles, bicycles, traction engines or other vehicles operated by something else than horse power on the more ground that steam or electricity or some new and unusual motive power is used to propel them. The fact that they interfere with the drivers of animals makes no difference. The Supreme Court has so held. Judge Monks, who delivered the opinion of the Court, said that the highways and streets are not for the exclusive use of vehicles propelled by animal power, nor are travelers confined to the use of such power and to ordinary carriages on highways. The use of any new and improved means of locomotion must be deemed to have been contemplated when the highways and streets woer laid out or dedicated, lie said, whenever the general benefit requires it and such new means of locomotion cannot be excluded therefrom.

SEEKING BURIED TREASURE.

Farmer Is Tnrninjr Up th* Foil of 100 Acre* in Hope of Finding Gold. Alvin Trnyler, a farmer living a few miles from Petersburg, has begun the task of turning up the soil of a ltlO-acre tract of laud to a depth of three feet, and now lias about twenty men employed for the purpose. He is convinced that a treasure of S2O gold pieces is hidden there, nnd other attempts <o find it having failed, he is going over the whole tract. Many years ago Carl Sell tint an, a Mississippi river gambler, purchased the tract and paid for it in S2O gold pieces. Among the articles that he brought over from Evansville was a heavy chest bound with iron, and believed to contain gold. He lived alone much of the time. What surplus corn, wheat and other farm products he raised were sold to the neighbors, and it was believed ho was thus adding always to hiso hidden wealth. Traylor is confident that the search will be rewarded by finding the chest of gold.

The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad has established a school for apprentice boys at the big shops at Elkhart. xYH the boys arc compelled to attend sessions. The company pays all expenses.
