WAR NOTES.
Daring the past week the Russian
Army has continued its retreat from Ti»-
Psss, northward towards Harbin, au<l
by burning the bridges they passed over
and devastating the country, bare
greatly impeded the pursuing Japanese.
Yesterday the Russians were report
ed at Chang-Chun; a hundred miles
north of Tie-Pass and on the Snngari
river,which flows north and empties into
the Amoor. Here they met a relieving
army sent south from Harbin, and it
was supposed they woold form a new
line extending eastward towards Kirin.
On Friday last Gen. Kuropatkin re
signed and was succeeded by Gen. Line
vitch, though Kuropatkin remains as a
division commander. The Czar order
ed that more troops be sent to Manchu
ria. The Japs place their loss at the
battle of Mukden at 50,000, and esti
mate the Russian loss at 175,000. They
chartered forty steamers to carry the
prisoners and wounded to Japan. The
hospitals were reported to be crowded.
The Russian fleet has left Nosai Bay.
it was thought that the attempt to
mobilize another army iu Russia would
bring about the renewal of the strike
riots. The new Russian loan was re
fused by the Fench bankers.
SOMK of the employees of the "Beef
'Trust" at Chicago have gone on "vaca
tion trips" to Europe pending the sit
tings of the special Federal jury to in
vestigate the concern.
A BILL taxing crude pretroleum five
cents a bbi, and coal three cents a ton,
was introduced into the House, Monday,
and a Committee named by the oil and
coal producers, here, has wired oar
Representatives to nss all honorable
jaeaoji to defeat them.
The Flood.
Nearly all the railroads of this
were placed in distress by high mmhi
and landslides, Monday, caused bjr the
melting snow, and the heavy rains of
Sunday.
The Connoqnenessing was over its
banks, and street-ear travel on the west
side was suspended for a time.
The flood in the Allegheny river was
angmented by the breaking of the ice
gorges at Oil City and Parker, and the
water was higher at Kittanning than it
has been for forty years.
The lower part of Freeport was under
water, and so were the West Penn
tracks at Lane, and at points between
Tarentom and Montrose.
The people of Springdale, Allegheny
Co., had a serions time of it, the new
dam causing the water there to rise
higher than ever before known, the
lower part of the town was flooded,
some property was washed away, and
people who lived near the river sought
shelter with their friends on higher
groond.
The people of the lower parts of Alle
gheny and Pittsburg had timely warn
ing of what was coming, and moved
perishable property from cellars liable
to.be be flooded, and in some places
moved to the second stories of their
houses.
The water reached its highest at Pitts
burg, Monday, at about 9P. M and be
gan receding. At that time there was
31 feet in both rivers, while th* highest
mark is 33} rd feet for Feb. 6, 1884.
The Parker gorge was dislodged early
Sanday morning and shortly after 3
o'clock that afternoon the great ke
packs went tumbling over Herr s island
dam. It was an impressive sight and
drew immense crowds of Sunday idlers
along both banks of the river. The air
that swept up the river, tempered by
the warm spring sunshine, caused a
wierd mist to rise above the fields of
crumbling ice, and riding over the crest
of the turbulent flood was a rainbow
that looked like a fantastic floating
arch.
All day Monday the bridges over the
rivers were crowded with people watch
ing the flood.
There were some washouts on the
Northern division of the B. & O. but
everything is expected to be in working
order, by this evening.
TONOPAH. Nevada, two-hundred and
forty-four miles from a railroad station
is the scene of the lateat gold eicita

Xo Poison Found.
Mr. Aschman, the chemist, finished
his analysis of the stomachs of Mrs.
Brown and Mrs. Walker, last Saturday;
are reports that he found no traces ol
poison in them.
The chemist who examined the stom
ach of Mrs. Stanford of California re
ported finding no poison in it though
the bottle from which she took her do&
of "soda" was full of it.
There is something peculiar about
this poison business. An old physician
informs us that strychnine atd all vege
table poisons are rapidly absorbed by
the human body, and may leave little oi
no trace in the stomach.
