PITTSBURG, March 15 The greai est flood In the history of western Peoansylvanla, West Virginia and east eru Ohio is belug experienced, the wa ter here reaching a stage of 346 fect at Herrs island and 343 feet at Mar ket street. If continues to rise stead lly about two-tenths of an Inch ag hour. At the headwaters the rivers are pow stationary The present stage Is twelve feet above the dagger mark, On the river the thirty mille gorge at Parker, Pa, broke and is moving toward the city. The immense gorge in the Clarion river has also started downstream. Both gorges, however, are old, and the ice ls soft On this account the arrival here is pot expecied to cause much damage Conditions in this city are the worst ever recorded. The whole lower down town district is under water, and peo ple are moving about In wagons and skiffs. Duquesne way, Fenn avenue and Liberty street, running parallel with the Allegheny river, are sub- merged to a depth of several feet Hundreds of business houses located In a num- up to the second floor, The Uayety, Belasco, Alvin and Bl jou theaters are surrounded by water and will be unable to open fer several days. Water ban destroyed or greatly damaged the power plants of all the four theaters The guests in the Colonial, Lincoln, Annex aud Anderson hotels are either marooned or compelled to use skiffs to and from the bulidings. Trolley service between Pittsburg and Allegheny was suspended early In the day, and the scenss at the Union depot of the Pennsylvania raliroad are almost beyond description. Great pla cards announcing the Inguguration of a special traln service to Allegheny are displayed all through the town, At the depot are thousands of peo ple, a chaotic mass of humanity shout ing end pushing in their efforts to board these trains for Allegheny or the many suburbs adjacent to the city. Patroimen in large numbers are en- deavoring to bring some kind of order out of the situation, but withbut avall The trains are being run regardless of schedules and are packed to the plat form steps Within the last thirty six hours four teen fatalities directly due to the flood have occurred Hundreds of people are marooned In Pittsburg. Restaurants have been be sieged by persons unable to reach thelr homes. Every roown io the hotels and boarding houses has been engaged, and there are not sufficient accommo- dations to take care of the people com- pelled to remalu here. feveral engine houses In Pittsburg anf Allegheny are out of commission, and quarters have been enguged ut hotels for the firemen At several of the engine houses a squad of two firemen in skiffs Is look- ing after the property The greatest excitement prevalls throughout Allegheny county, as thou sands of bulldings are not only now surrounded by water in the flooded districts, but the Indications are that thousands of persons will be forced from their homes, The present flood Is one of the most remarkable on record. The damage to perishable goods and property iu the Pittsburg district alone will amount to $1,000.000, probably more. Im addition to this, much de struction is belug done to property throughout western Penmsylvania and West Virginia At Coupellsville, Pa, the damage to the coke region Is estimated at $2,000 000. Over 100,000 persons are temporarily out of employment. The Westinghouse works, ewmploying 30000, are shut down, and the damage to machinery Is estimated at $5000. All the mines along the Mouongaliela river are flood ed, and 10.000 miners are affected. "OHIO IN FLOOD.

He fur ther sald be understood Mr. Delmas to have sald he would not ohiect to an answer to such a question as was ask- ed the witness His assistant, Mr Garvan, bad told him Mr. Delinas had made such a statement while he Je rome} was out of the room. “1 made no such statement,” declared Mr. Delmas “1 specifically reserved the right to object to auy questioa put te this witness’ Mr. Delmas turned to Hummel and said: “You heard me didn’t you?" 1 did,” sald Hummel least perturbed “And the le reserve that right, oot In the or ined district attorney heard me? asked Mr. Delmas, turning to Mr. Garvan “1f the learned counsel from the Pa cific slope will address himself to the court, we will make better progress’ sald Mr. Jerome.
