PITTisHUIlGU. Pa., Feb. ?.. The Jloud crest in the Allegheny and MnnonRuhela rivers was reached at inidniKht last niht when the streams rose to a height of 28.4 feet, higher than thev have registered since the disastrous Hood of March. 1913. The acute tlood danger in western Pennslvvania is now believed to have passed. Forecast for cold weather came this morning and the rivers are already receding rapidly. More rain is predicted hy Forecaster Henry Pennwitt, of the local United States weather bureau, but it will not prove enough to cause any serious rise in the waters and the cooler weather will diminish the rate of melting accumulated snows. For 11 hours last night the rivers registered above the 2S-foot mark and it was only at 4 o'clock that rivermen were convinced that the crest had been reached and passed. Although little actual damage was done, much suffering was caused among the poor who live along the water front and in the lowlands nearby. Practically all the streets leading up from the rivers were covered with more than a foot and a half

of water, and the residents of these sections had to be taken to their homes in skiffs. Ample warnings of the approaching ilood had been given by tha local weather forecaster and merchants and residents in the water front district . . .1.1 .1 1 1 : . . ..

were ready to meet noou eMmn.iin when they came. All of the water front mills for miles up and down the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers have been forced to suspend operations temporarily because of the Hooding of their plants. Policemen in skiffs carried food and fuel to tho- who were unable t leave their homes this morning after having patrolled the Hooded district all night watching for weakening walls and foundations. In many sections residents wen- ordered from their homes yesterday afternoon, by the building inspector, who feared the undermining of foundations by the ilood waters.
