Could Not Tell n Me--Arresta Made
In Another Polltlcnl AITnlr.
Philadelphia, March 23. Wliat prom
ises to develop Into the ugliest political
ecandal ever Inflicted upon this city
was rcvenled In court here today, when
one member of councils confessed the
acceptance of a bribe: another was ac
cused of a like offense, and two othern
were charced with offering the bribes.
The whole affair crows out of the
ordinance offered In councils to lease
the city water works to the Schuylkill
Valley Water company, and the aliened
attempt by Nelson O. Green, of New
York, representing the company, to ob
tain a favorable report from the water
company by the payment of between
f.15,000 and $25,000. During recent con
sideration of the bill In common coun
cil, Walter a. Stevenson, a member of
that body, charged that $5,000 had been
offered to him by Peter E. Smith, a
member of the Republican city com
mittee, to vote for the bill. A councll
manlc Investigating committee was ap
pointed and Is still at work, but Dis
trict Attorney Graham promptly took
up the case: Smith was held In $10,000
ball, and today's sensational develop
ments came at his hearing before
Judges Gordon and Uregy, of the com
mon nleas court, who sat as commit
ting magistrates.
As a consequence of this hearing,
Smith's ball In the same amount was
continued nnd his trial has been set
for next Tuesday: and Select Council
man Louts J. Walker declared that ho
nnd Common Councilman Edwin K.
Smith had each accepted $300 from
Common Councilman Charles Seger to
vote for the bill In committee. He also
averred that Select Councilman J.
Emory Byram previously offered him
$5,000 to vote for the bill in the cham
ber, but he had refused the money and
voted against It.
THE FIRST WITNESS.
Stevenson, in consequence of whose
recusation the bill was Indefinitely
postponed, was the first witness today,
nnd he repeated his story without
change. Smith entered a denial, but
was held for trial, as stated.
Select Councilman A. Raymond Raff,
who was on the water committee and
voted for the bill there but against it
on final consideration, was the next
witness. He denied any knowledge of
bribery, but said he had discussed the
merits of the measure with Mr. Green.
Councilman Walker was then called.
He was very nervous. At first he said
ho did not know Green; had accepted
no money and knew of none having
been accepted.
Judge Bregy then said to him Im
pressively: "With God as your judge,
were you offered any money?"
Walker hung his head, and after a
moment's silence, replied "yes, I was,"
and he named the men by whoso per
suasion he had fallen. Tho money, he
said, was paid In Councilman Soger's
paloon and he had seen Councilman
Edwin Smith receive the $500 at the
pame time with himself.
Smith hero took tho fltand and de
nied having received any money.
A like denial was made by A. R. H.
Morrow, who was chairman of the sub
committee. Select Councilman Henry Clay, who
hns opposed the bill since Its Intro
duction, said he had a conversation
with Nelson G. Green In which the lat
ter said It had cost either $15,000 or $25,
000 to get the bill through committee.
Witness wa not sure which of these
bums was mentioned.
Select Councilman R. R. Brlnghurst,
who was chairman of tlve Joint com
mittee on water, which reported the
bill favorably, but who personally has
been ngalnst It, gave sensational tes
timony. Green, he said, had come to
him and said "this bill Is going to be a
law. There is no question about It.
Select council will pass It and common
council will pass it and the mayor will
Plgn It. I wish you would interview
the members of councils for me. Some
of them will have to bo seen and fixed.
If you will find out for me who they
are nnd what they want, I'll look out
for the rest. That Is my business and
I'm used to that kind of work."
Mr. Brlnghurst said he not only re
fused to do this but has ever since had
nothing to do with Green.
WHAT MR. GRAHAM KNOWS.
During the proceedings District At
torney Graham asserted: "I know $23,
000 was spent to get the bill through
the committee and I want to know who
got it."
The court will resume the investi
gation next Monday. At the end of
today's hearing, Councilman Walker
was In the district attorney's office for
more than an hour, when he was per
mitted to go upon promising to appear
when wanted. It Is said that upon the
advice of his relatives he made a clean
breast of the whole affair, and ojher
arrests are expected.
The exposure has created a profound
sensation.
Arrests were also made today In an
other political affair. John Kelley,
Matthew Tobln, John J. Green, J. J.
Mathews, Max Lalb and William B.
Turner were placed in custody, charg
ed with conspiracy in issuing false
certificates In various wards to repre
sentatives of the Democratic city com
mittee, In order to prevent properly
elected members of that committee
from exercising their rights. The
trouble is between two factions In their
contest for control of tho committee.

Tacoma, Wash., March 23. Mrs. I.
C. Dlllman arrived In Spokane last
week from Terre Haute, Ind., to meet
her husband, nnd greatly to her sur
prise found that she had been divorced
over a year, and that Mr. Dlllman had
remarried. Two years ago Mrs. Dlll
man went to Terre Haute, and last
year Mr. Dlllman obtained a divorce
from her In the Spokane county couit.
The allegations In the complaint on
which the divorce was obtained were
peculiar. They were that Mrs. Dill
man's former husband, who, as she
supposed was dead, had suddenly re
appeared. The complaint set forth that
It was by mutual consent the applica
tion for the divorce was made. Mrs.
Dlllman says she never heard anything
about her first husband coming back
to earth, and that she did not consent
to a divorce.

Pittsburg, March 23. The Alleghany
and Monongahela rivers aro likely to
reach n stage of thirty feet of water
tonight. Heavy rains fell at all points
In the two upper valleys last night, nnd
the water Is rushing toward Pittsburg
at a very rapid rate. The following
districts arc Hooded: All of Allegheny,
south of Robin street and South nve
nue; River avenue and Upper Robin
son street and the upper districts trav
ersed by the Pittsburg and Western
railroad; the lower bottoms of Woods
run: lower districts of Saw Mill Run:
lower districts of McKee's Rock and
Esplenborough, and nil the lowlands
between the Davis Island dam and
Beaver; Sharpsburg and Mllvalo dis
tricts, and the lower districts of Upper
Allegheny and Pittsburg on the Alle
gheny river. Including the Allegheny
Valley railroad tracks In the vicinity
of Kelly Station.
Great damage Is reported, and fears
are entertained that the Hood may he
as great as the one In 1S84. About 5
o'clock this morning there was n sud
den rise In the Allegheny river, and a
clean sweep was made on the Alle
gheny side between Chestnut street
and the railroad bridge. All coal floats,
coal boats, shanty boats, rafts and
everything nlloat were swept away,
wrecked or sunk, entailing a loss of
many thousands of dollars.
The Pennsylvania limited was de
layed five and one-half hours by a
washout near Canton, Ohio, nnd tho
Niagara express, southbound, Is held
by a landslide fifty miles from here,
nnd will not get away until late this
afternoon. At Carbon, Pa., a Pittsburg
and Western ft eight train went through
a bridge weakened by the flood. En
gineer Lake was killed and Fireman
Bradley was hurt fatally.
HIGH WATERS IN OHIO.
City of Dayton Is in r)nucer--3()0
Honors Submerged.
Dayton, O., March 23. Dayton Is in
greater danger than nt any time since
hGfi when th'e central pnrt of the city
was flooded. The Miami river fchows 18
2-10 feet at the government gauge and
Is rising. Lat year when about $50,000
damage was done the river's highest
mailc was 16 1-10 feet. North Dayton
is completely under water and about
I'.OO houses are almost submerged.
The backwater Is doing grtat damnge
below the city. Three of the six trol
!' lines in the city nre blocked, and
the steam lallroads north of the city
are demoralized. The levees protecting
Miami City nnd Rlverdale, populous
suburbs, are In danger, and every ef
fort Is being made to strengthen them.
The wat?r is 'n the cellars In the cen
tral portion of the city, and large and
valuable stocks of merchandise are In
1med so that the loss In that direction
is heavy.
Richmond, Ind., March 23. Heavy
floods nre doing great damage here.
The larj;e bridge over Whitewnter river
has been destroyed by fire nnd water.
The city electric light plant Is swamp
ed. The Starr piano factory and tho
Nlxcn Paper mill have suffered heavy
loss. Many persons have been driven
from their homes. The streets nre
damaged greatly.
Cincinnati. March 23. The rain still
continues. Th river at 10 a. m. i cach
ed the danger line and was rising four
inches an hour.
THE MISSISSIPPI RISINQ.
Steady Rain for Five Dnyi Causes
Fenr ol Floodx.
St. Louis, March 23. Owing to the
steady rain of the past five days there
is a strong probability that some re
gions of the Mississippi Valley may be
Hooded. For the last forty-eight hours
the river has risen steadily at the rate
of an Inch per hour. The rain extended
generally all over Missouri and the
Eastern Mississippi Valley.
Last night at midnight the river
gauge registered twenty-two feet, with
a probability that It would reach twen
tjvflve feet by morning. In the dis
trict south of the city, along the river
known as "Little Oklahoma" the river
Is almost over the banks.
