GREATEST FLOOD IN 48 YEARS.
Not Since the Noted Flood of '65 Has
the Allegheny Been as High
. .From Natural Water.
'j Forty-eight 5 ears ago this inouih, or to
be exact, March 17, 1865, the Allegheny
river attained a flood stage ibat, within
tbe memory of man It bad never reached
before, and down to this date has not been
known since, nnless tbe present great
overflow should yet attain to a similar
stage.
We are speaking now of wbat la known
as a "natural" flood, unattended by Ice
gorging or artificial damming.
At this hour, Wednesday, March '21).
1913, at 8:30 a. in., the fl wd still lacks at
least 18 inches of reaching the high water
mark of that eventlul St. Patrick's
morning, as remembered by the genera
tion which witnessed it and still lives to
tell tbe story, Tbe water now appears
to bave reached its maximum height and
is rising very slowly, If any.
At that time Ihe breaking up of a win
ter noted fnr its beavy snowfall, a warm
rain aet In, and without a moment's ces
sation continued for three days and three
Bights, melting tbe great body of snow
in the then almost unbroken forests,
filling every valley and., every stream to
Its fullest capacity. .
Quite similar conditions, minus tbe
snow, bave prevailed during tbe past
three days, or since Sunday afternoon,
yet tbe rain baa not been as incessant in
this immediate locality. And another
flood to date from Is here.
Tbe lower portion of tbe town, tbe
flats, Is covered with water, and the
width of the river extends from near the
railroad track on the west side to witbin
a few rods ot Elm street ou the east, a
distance of nearly a quarter of a mile.
Many people living in the flooded area
have left their homes as a matter of
safety, although few If any bouses bave
as yet aoy water In them, and tbe water
in that quarter has little current. Tbe
paved street leading to tbe bridge, being
quite blgbj. acted as a good dam in hold
ing batkvtbe' water coming over tbe
banks at tbe upper end of town and pre
vented it from sweeping straight through
tbe flats.
The Lawrence suspension foot bridge
across Tionesta creek at tbe mouth has
received a bard raking but is still hang
ing by the main cables.
Up to tbe hour of going to press no
serious damage bas been reported from
this immediate vicinity, the cessation of
all through railroad traffic being the moat
noticeable efleot of tbe flood so far. Tbe
morning passenger train from Oil City
arrived here about on time, but it is
doubtful if it can proceed very far up the
river, as the trestle across Tldioute creek,
In Tldioute, is reported washed out. East
Hickory flats are under water but tbe
water has not yet entered tbe bouses.
No serious damage is reported up along
Tionesta creek but tbe water ia very high.
Thirty Years Ago.
In 1883. just 30 years ago, Good Friday
fell on Marob 23. Tbe morning follow
ing there was wild excitement In the Oil
exchange owing to minora from M,
Murphy's well at Balltown, known as
Porky No. 1, which will be Recalled with
interest by tbe old-timers. Tbe market
bad been slowly advanced since March
10, wben It was 88 cents, until on Thurs
day night previous to tbe Good Friday
holiday it closed at fl 02j, with a large
long interest. The Porkey well waa
nearing the sand but tbe owner bad no
Intention of drilling it in when the Ex
changes weve closed. A mistake In tbe
level niado by Mike Feeley, who bad
charge of tbe drilling, resulted In tbe
drill ruuoiug into tbe ssnd 16' feet above
where It was expected. Tbe well flowed,
burned tbe rig, and while guards were
placed around it and efforts made to keep
its size a mystery, tbe fact that it would
be a good well could not be hidden.
Saturday morning the market opened
at (1.00, and closed at 98 cents on rum-rs
that tbe well bad more gas tban oil. Tbe
Monday following, however as the trade
obtained more accurate intormalion from
the scouts, tbe market dropped to 024
cents. Speculative losses were beavy,
and many a man who bad a small fortune
Thursday nigbt bad lost It at tbe close on
Monday. Wben it was connected to tbe
tanks five days later tbe well made 66
barrels tbe first hour and2 the second.
One of tbe incidents connected with
this event will always be told with a rel
ish by any of those who chanced to be
present Good Friday morning in tbe tele
graph office at Garfield. Most of tbe
scouts were resting there for the holidays.
Just before the hour for tbe market to
open on other days Jim Emery, a con
tractor at Balltown, came riding up in hot
bast', rushed Into tbe office and with a
hurried nod to the assembled scouts, be
gan laboriously writing out a message,
Emery's cypher code consisted of only
two words, one signifying "dry as a
bone," and tbe other: "well flowing to
skin bell." He bad come past tbe Porky
well, saw its smoking remains, divined
tbe meaning of It, and rushed to the
nearest telegraph office at Garfield, eight
miles away. He believed be alone knew
the important news, and as be wrote bis
message he lerred with a cunning smile
at tbe scouts, ignorant of the sensation he
wot. Id spring on them. Emery was asked
for news, and after getting bis message
off, said: "Roys, give me ten minutes
after tbe market opens, and I'll tell you
all about It. Biggest thing of the year."
"Take all the time you want, Jim," said
one of tbe scouts. "This is Good Friday,
and no Exchanges open." As tbe use-
ing tbe first with the news dawned on
blm, Emery sank dowu on a bench with
a muttered: "Well, damn tbe Catholics."
