Pittsburg, March 16.—In a fire that threatened the entire Mount Wash- ington section of the city known as the Twenty-seventh ward twenty-five business structures and dwellings were destroyed or damaged, causing a loss that is estimated at $200,000. Many of the dwellings were tenements or apartment houses and while there were no casualities there were many mnarrow escapes from injury by falling timbers and walls. The siructures were mostly of frame construction and because of a break in the water main the only available fighting material was chem- ical fire extinguishers and a bucket brigade which was formed by the res- idents of this section. Two attempts were made to stop the flames by dy- namiting buildings on either side, but each time the wreckage caught fire. CHEST EVER K RIVERS AT FITTSBURG SLOWLY RECEDING AFTER EREAKING FORMER RECORDS. IHORMOUS DAMAGE HAS RESULTED TEN SQUARE MILES CF THE BUSI- NES8S SECTION OF THE CITY UNDER WATER. Pittsburg, March 16.—Pittsburgers aro amazed at the immensity of the flood in the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio rivers, which has submerged ten square miles in the down town section of the city. After reaching the highest stage ever known, which was thirty-seven feet at Market street, the water 18 slowly receding. Enormous damage to industries has been caused; over 100,000 persons have been temporarily thrown out of employment; every transportation gompany in the city is crippled; skiffs are carrying hundreds of people to their places of business; twenty fa- talitles have occurred in Allegheny county directly due to high water and the most unique sights ever seen here are apparent. Four massive bridges, the Sixteenth, Ninth, Seventh and Sixth street struc- tures, were threatened with destruc- tlon owing to the heavy ice gorges which came down the Allegheny river. That the bridges were not swept away is considered marvelous by river men and it is said that these structures will be found to have been greatly weakened when the water subsides. Four theaters, the Galiety, Alvin, Belasco and Bijou, are flooded and will be dark for several days. Hotel Guests Marooned, Frightened guests in the Lincoln. Colonial, Annex and Anderson hotels, located in the midst of the flood zone, are marooned and are watching the high waters from the windows. Most of the fire engines in the downtown district are pumping water from buildings along Fifth avenue. At the First National bank building, Fifth avenue and Wood street, the basement is submerged to a depth of soveral feet and strenuous efforts are being made to protect the dynamos which generate power to the Western Union Telegraph company. The situation outside of Pittsburg {8 serious. Damage running into mil- lions of dollars has been done; many towns are entirely cut off from this @ity; upwards of thousands of families have been forced from their homes and these conditions, it is expeoted, will prevail for several days. At Wheeling, W. Va., great damage has boen done. -Train and telegraph service is out of commission and the residents are panic stricken. The orest of the flood has not reached that point and the floed situation still grows serious. Twenty-five thousand sufferers were It finally burned itself out. A lighted match dropped into rubbish is said to be the cause. WILL DO THE COUNTRY GOOB. Chleago Opinion of “Bumplng the Speculators.” Chicago March 16.—Characterizing the slump in stocks as a “New York affair” and declaring that the agita- tion relative to the railroads has had little to do with the Wall street panic Chicago bankers assert that they are not troubled over the outlook and that the Middle West will be in no- wise affected. v There is manifest among the bank- ers, with perhaps one or two excep- tions, no alarm or misgivings. The consensus of opinion is that the rate for money in_Chicago, 6 per cent, would not be lifted; that there are millions in reserve here which can be utilized and that the country as a whole is unusually prosperous. One other idea of special interest also was expressed, namely, that the “bumping of the speculators” out East will do the nation as a whole good. The local men of finance consider the bottom has about been reached in the ‘Wall street slump and that stocks, in- stead of being too low at their new figures, are generally approaching a fair valuation. RECOGNIZED BY NICARAGUA. Provisional Government of Honduras Declared an Ally. Managua, Nicaragua, March 16.— sued a decree recognizing the provis- lonal government of Honduras and de- claring its members to be allies of Nicaragua. The last battle fought between the Nicaraguans and Hondurans was so decisively in favor of the former that it 1s believed it will result in bringing the war to an end. General Melecio Merino and other Honduran officers were killed. The Nicaraguan government has is- | oared for at McKeesport by the relief committee, which was organized by Mayor Coleman. INHABITANTS TAKE T HILLS FLOOD SWEEPS AWAY OR DAM- AGES EVERY BUILDING IN DERWENTES. O, Columbus, O., March 18.—A dis- patch from Cambria, in Guernsey county, reports the practical destrue- tion of the town of Derwentes, near there. The flood has damaged or swept away every bullding in the town, which contains 200 people. The Inhabitants have taken to the hills and are living there as best they oan with little to shelter them ex- cept what they could carry in their hasty filght. ENTIRE FAMILY DROWNED. Lose Thelr Lives in Effort to Escape From Tottering Home. Parkersburg, W. Va, March 16.— Four persons were drowned in an ef- fort to escape from their tottering home at Riverside to a place of safe- ty. Willlam Francis, his wife and daughter Esther, aged eighteen years, and son John, aged nine years, are the victims. The Francis family had remained in their home until the last minute, fearlng to venture out to rafts that were being pulled about to save the flood imperiled citizens of Riverside, which is completely inundated. Finally the father succeeded in getting hold of a rowboat, into which he placed his wife and children. They had proceed- ed only a few yards when the torrent overturned their craft and all were drowned. Rising Four Inches an Hour. Portsmouth, 0., March 16.—The Ohlo has reached 54 feet and is still rising four inches per hour. Several schools have been thrown open as temporary places of shelter for flood refugees. The river current is the fastest ever known and some families found themselves unexpectedly hemmed in by water on all sides at daybreak. CAUSE PURELY ACCIDENTAL. Ceiling of Russian Parliament House Collapses. St. Petersburg, March 16.—The ceil- of the hall of the Taurida palace, where the lower house of parliament meets, collapsed at 6 a: m. and caused widespread wreckage. Though many rumors were circulat- ed to the effect that the fall of the ceiling was the result of a plot to in- terfere with'the meeting of parliament its purely accidental. character was clearly established. An examination showed that the nails and other fast- enings binding the celiings to the raft- ers had not been replaced since tle time of Catherine 1I. and broke under the extra weight of the new decora- tions. The entire section of the plas- tering and lathing covering the cen- ter and left of the house and a small portion of the right fell to the floor, thirty feet below. A few heavy beams and timbers were affected, but the rezular structure of the roof was not injured. The aggregate weight of the celling materfal was so great that in its fall it twisted the massive bronze electroliers in such a way as to indi. cate that a terrible catastrophe would have resulted had the fall occurred a few hours later during the session of the house. The places occupied by the president and ministers were not touched, but it was judged that few members of the Center party or of the Left would have escaped death or serious injury. REACTION IN STOCK MARKET MUCH OF THE HEAVY DECLINES OF THE PAST TWO DAYS RECOVERED, New York, March 16.—The stock market during the day recovered em- phatically and with growing convic- tlon as the day progressed from the violent demoralization of the past two days. Recovery had proceeded in London before the opening here to such an extent as to cause a spas- modic rebound from the start. In the struggle to control the market during the first hour there was a setback of about half of the opening gain. An- other sharp reaction occurred abou noon, with the forecast of a weak bank statement. The determined sup- port of the market proved effective, however, on all reactions and carried prices eventually to wide advances. The day’s recoveries, while substan- tial, by no means restored the full measure of the previous losses. The Progressive Ro Proverb.

" Ohio River at Cincinnati Continues to Rise. Cincinnati, March 16.—The Ohio continues to rise slowly, recording a stage of 54.5 feet at 10 o’clock in the morning; or 4.5 feet above the danger line. Cooler, clear weather gave forth some promise, but the fullness of the rivers above hold the serious threat of worse to come. Such reports as was received early in the day simply confirmed the previous reports of flood damage, which is widespread. New Orleans Brokers Suspend. New Orleans, March 16.—The sus- pension of Witcher, Zemurray & Co., a well known brokerage firm, is an- nounced.
