complete by tbe clothing tbe girl wore
on tbe night of ber disappearance, and tbe
theory that she fell off the P. R. R bridge
while crossing the river to visit some

was trrxen over but a large air bole ex
isted immediately un 'er the bridge into
which licr body la supposed to bave fallen.

Alarming Reports of Tionesta Flood.
Some alarming reports got Into outside
papers regarding flood conditions In Tio
nesta last week and letters of Inquiry
from anxious former residents are com
ing in. In some of the metropolitan pa
per s were stories tbat Tionesta was wiped
off tbe map, tbat tbe Allegbeoy river
bridge waa gone, that tbe water waa on
the second floors of the houses, that our
people were homeless and destitute and
that tbe county commissioncra were ap
pealing for relief. Well we are bsppy to
state tbat nothing of tbe kind happened
here and we are indeed fortunate a com
pared with other communiiies. While
the flood waa alarming and serious
enough to residenta on the fists, whose
homes were all aurrounded by water of
varying depth, Ihe fact remaina that only
one bouse waa flooded even on the first
floor, that of M ra. Clara Perrin, at one of
tbe places where tbe water first came
over the river hank up town.
Aside from the annoyance of flooded
cellars where some Irult. and goods were
spoiled, Tionesta'a actual losa csn be
covered by $500, and tbia will Include the
replacing of hoard sidewalks washed out
of place ou tbe aid' streets. Lanson
Bros, lost about twenty barrels of .ce
ment, ten In fifteen barrels of plaster and
two tons of lime wbicb was stored in their
barn below their grist mill. One of Ihe
heaviest losses was sustained by Mrs.
Perrin, a good-sized pig belonging to her
being drowned. Mrs. Jamea Huling
lost Ave nine chickens. Several other
citizens bad a few chickens drown, and
the editor lost one, but she was caught
by dog. J U. Jamleaon lost abnu $r0
worth of lumber at bla loading platform
below Ibe P. R. station, and the dirt
road around the platform waa considera
bly washed away.
The flood aud driftwood Thursday
afternoon just about finished wrecking
Win. Lawrence'a footbridge at the mouth
of Tionesta creek, which was badly dam
aged Wednesday. The tower at the
aoutb end went down and let nearly all
the bridge down Into tbe swift currmt
However the main cables seem to he
holding yet and Ibe bridge will be re
paired aa aoon aa Ibe water goes down.
Bridge street being high undoubtedly
saved a greater damage on tbe fists, aa it
beld hack the water in ita first rush
through the flats. A great volume of
water went back into tbe river channel
between tbe river bridge and the old
mautel worka. A large hole was washed
,in the street there. When tbe flood bad
reached ita maximum height a big
etream was running overftbe pavement
on Bridge street and this helped to fill all
the low places below tbe street. O. T.
Anderson got a good picture of a minia
ture "Niagara Falls" a the water poured
over this street, as well aa other views.
Photographer Zuver alao caught some
good views of tbe flooded section.

The Great Flood Now History.
Tbe States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana bave Juat emerged from
the greatest floods In the history of ibe
nation, the two latter states having borne
by far tbe greater part of the brunt.
Wbile Ibe loss of life baa beeu ureal,
yet happily, aa the H ind waters recede, It
ia abown tbat tbe early reports of deaths
were greatly overestimated, and it is now
tbongbt that tbe number of drownings in
Obio and Indiana may not exceed 500,
while first reports ran the number up
into the thousands.
Tbe property losses are simply appall
lug In tbe cities and towna that were lo
cated Dear streams In Ohio and Indiana,
the greatest, of course, being; In Dayton,
Ohio, which la almost wiped off the earth.
Other towns in that stale which suffered
terribly in both loss of life and properly
are Columbus, Miainlsburg. Hsiiii'ton,
Mount Vernon, Chllllcotlie, Venire. Pl
qua, Fremont, Middlelown. Tlllin, Mas
aillon and Ztneavllle. Peru, Brookvllle,
Fort Wayne aud Terra Uauiu in Indiana
were tbe grealest sufferers in that state,
but ibe loss of lile waa nothing like the
number first reported, aud it ia thought
Ibe total may not reach a hundred. In
Pennsylvania Sharon suffered Ibe most
damage, the losa of life being between
five and ten and the property loss some
thing ennrmoua. . -
The country Is responding nobly to Ibe

sending funds to the stricken districts
both aa private and publlo contributions.
Locally tbere waa slight damage aa
compared wltb other sections, the flood
ing of cellars and bouses comprising tbe
only damage sustained to apeak of. Tbe
interference with railroad traffic waa the
most notable Inconvenience which our
citizena bad to contend with, and tbe el
moat complete abutting off of tbe malls
for tbe greater portion of tbe week made
us all lonesome and hungry for news.
