THE WATERS RISING.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE, BUT THE WORST OVER. Pennsylvania Suffers the Most in the Flooding of Mines —On the Ohio and Tributaries the Damage Is GreatOnly One Life Reported Lost. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. B. —Pittsburg had a scare yesterday. The heavy rains of the last forty-eight hours swelled the Monongaheia and Allegheny rivers to flood height. Only twenty-five feet of water is expected. This is about eight feet less than the last flood four years ago. Over fifty boats were swept from their moorings along the Monongaheia river. A number of barges loaded with coal and worth SIO,OOO each sank. Many mills had to close on account of the water geitkig into the fly wheel pits. The are.,* furnace, the Pittsburg wire .voil.s. and the Braddock wire works at llraddock, were also compelled to close. Along the river fronts and in the low lands of Allegheney dozens of families were compelled to move from the lower part of their houses into upper rooms. l!y noon t,l,e waters are expected to subside. Twelve million bushels of eoal will then be started south. The steamer Tillie was sunk at McKeesport, but no lives were lost. The flood has done its worst as far as Pittsburg and points above on both rivers are concerned. What further damage may be done will be below. The Monongaheia here registers twenty-three feet and rising very slowly. The best river authorities agree in placing the highest stage at twenty-six feet. Advices from all of the up river points show that the water is either receding or about stationary. The heaviest individual loss so far reported was that at McKeesport, where fifty coal barges were carried from the docks and down the river, entailing a loss of between $35,000 and $40,000. Beaver, Pa., reports that the coffer at the new government dam just below Van port has been swept away with considerable money da mace and the loss of one life. The most serious damage in the Allegheny will be done to the government work at Herds Island, where tiie new dam is now in course of construction. The water is now over the colrer dams and .it is likely that all of the work will be destroyed. The low ground in Etna and Sharps* burg is submerged. The railroads both east and west are be big run bled. Trains were delayed by landslides at !!en Avon and at Connellsville.

ROB HIM OF MILLIONS. Startling Charges Made Against Judge Kirks of Ohio. Washington, Jan. B. —Charges of a sensational character against United States District Judge Augustus Hicks of Cleveland are contained in a memorial presented to the house of representatives yesterday. Representative Johnson of Ohio secured immediate consideration for a resolution in* structing the judiciary committee to investigate the charges, and without debate the resolution was adopted. The charges are made under oath by S. J. Ritchie of Akron, Ohio, a wealthy capitalist of that section. While directed mainlj* at Jndge Ricks they indirectly affect Judge Burke and Ex-United States Senator Payne of Cleveland. The charges involve losses reaching s<>.ooo.ooo. Mr. Ritchie claims to have suffered in decisions made by Judge Ricks affecting Canadian copper and nickel mines. Mr. Ritchie avers that in 1880 he negotiated in England for the sale of the property for $15,000,000 when, his petition alleges, his associates “commenced to put into execution a thoroughly planned and infamous scheme to rob" himself and his wife, who .had the largest interests. To assist them in t heir designs, it is charged, Judge Ricks prostituted his office and became their subservient and pliant tool. The judge contents himself with a general and contemptuous denial of the charges made. I.ohdell of tune Is It* Speaker. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 8. The Kansas legislature convenes at noon to-day. C. E.

PRESIDENT EUGENE V. DEBS.

On this application, whether it is granted or not, they will have the right to take an appeal and on this appeal may secure the liberation of the prisoners on bail, pending a hearing. Acting under the direction of Clerk Burnham, Mr. Pickard, his assistant, issued orders of commitment. The cumulative sentence imposed on Debs was one year and on the other defendants six months. Judge Woods said to-day that there was nothing more for him to do in the case, unless it came up before him on another motion in some manner. ‘‘The sentence of the court was pronounced some time ago,” said Judge Woods, “and that sentence was stayed until to-day. There is nothing urther to be done except for the clerk to make out his commitments.” “This is the second commitment I have made out for illustrious citizens,” said Clerk Pickard as he was writing the document which will hold Debs in jail for six months. “The other commitment was for Frank James, Jesse’s brother and partner. That was done in Alabama, where Frank was before the United States court charged with robbing a paymaster. He was sent to jail because he could not give bail, but was acquitted on the trial."
