Telegraphic communica- tion to-day with New York was almost entirely cut off. Points in Ohio not fifty miles “apart communieated over lines stretched over several hundred miles. A few points in Northern Ohio were wholly cut off from telegraphic reports. - WIRE SERVICE PARALYZED. Great Damage Is Done at Cleveland and Vicinity. CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 20.—The ter- rific storm of wind and snow which pre- vailed in this city and vicinity to-day was one of the most disastrous to telephone and telegraph service ever experienced here. The wind, which came from the north, reached at times a velocity of more than sixty miles an hour. Hundreds of poles were torn down and wire communi- cation with all points east of Cleveland was entirely cut off. The conditions west and south were but little better, although the telegraph companies succeeded in maintaining communication with Chicago and Cincinnat throughout the day. v streets of the city were strewn poles and tangled wires. Sev- eral persons were severely shocked by coming in contact with live wires. Five or six horses were instantly killed by stepping on wires concealed under the deep slush and snow. Traffic on the steam and electric lines was badly delayed. In some cases sub- urban electric roads were completely tied up, owing to the immense snow drifts on thé tracks. No less than eight or nine fire stations were cut cff, owing to the general prostration of wire a fire break out in the isolated districts, it is feared that great loss would follow. The pecuniary loss suffered by the tele- graph and telephone companies will be very heavy. Lake Erie was lashed into a fury b storm. harbor breakwater, sending up spray to the height of a hundred feet or more. A crib 200 feet long and about twenty-five feet wide, which was anchored at the end of the east breakwater, preparatory to being stnk, was torn from its fastenings v the and driven ashore inside the west break- | water.

CLEVELAND, Ohto, April 20.—With the exception of the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate lines west of Cleveland, the rail- roads into Cleveland are badly crippled and in many instances the whereabouts of freight trains, which are supposed to have gone on to sidings because of lost time, is not known. East of Cleveland the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate are also badly crippled. Trains on three different | roads due in Cleveland this forenoon had not been reported at 8 o’clock. to-nigit. A train on the Irle that runs to Pitts- burg in three and a half hours required seven hours to make the trip to-day, and | the Erie jhree engines were necessary to | bring six coaches into Cleveland in seven ours.

East of Cleveland | to Buffalo trains on the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate are running on the block Many freight trains on these are abandoned, and only perishable freight is being moved. The storm continues in Cleveland to- night wtih unusual severity. There is a steady downfall of wet snow, driven by a | high “wind. The downtown streets are practically deserted, and little business | was done: SITUATION GROWS WORSE. Great Alarm Along the Ohio and Probable Loss of Life. CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 20.—Specials from Upper Ohio Valley to-night indicate great alarm among the inhabitants of towns along tne Ohio River and tribu- taries. The flood has already reached | many places. Although the rise was more sudden than ever before, yet all points received more timely notice than in for- mer years, on account of the extra vigil- ance of the weather bureau. As a rule | those located in the lower districts to- night are moving to higher ground. This precaution is being taken along the river -front of Cincinnati, although the rise can- | not reach this city for a couple of days. | The situation in Northern and Eastern Ohio is reported worse than ever. Many places have been cut oft all day and are still isolated. Very many towns in Ohio cannot be reached, and it is predicted that there has been loss of life in some of them, as well as much damage to property. There are very many places in West Virginia, also, from which no word can be had, heavy losses are feared in that State. - MANY TOWNS INUNDATED. Pittsburg Is the Center of the Storm- Stricken District. PITTSBURG, April 20.—A widespread and disastrous flood has inundated all towns in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and Northwestern Virginia. Streams, both great and small, have passed the flood line and are still rising. Pittsburg is the center of the storm-stricken dis- trict and the effects of the floods are prob- ably the worst in its immediate vicinity. Rain has been falling for many miles around Pittsburg for sixty hours, and all precipitation records are broken. Parkers Landigg, up the Allegheny, reports nearly four inches, and Greensboro, on the Monongahela River, over three inches. Down the Ohio over four inches fell at Wood Junction, and about three and a half inches at Beaver, est_and north of ttsburg _hea: falls of ‘wet Snow are reported. Up the Allegheny River reports come of two feet of snow on the level at many places. This was the cause of breaking down telesraph wires and crippling. train ser- Vice Malls are either delayed for hours or m)tt nrl;tlflng at all. Railroad officials cannot estimate the cost of repairs, t {say it will be heavier than ever b'eftg:-le in the history of the roads running into Pittsburg. Tracks are torn up, bridges weakened and telegraph wires and poles | are down in all directions. Six landslides | have occurred on the Panhandle between | this city and Steubenville, two of them very serious. The Chartres branch is completely submerged and no trains can reach Washington, Pa., over this line: At Jones Ferry, on the south side, a huge bowlder fell on the Panhandle tracks and trains had to come into the city over the Ohio connecting bridge, a detour of several miles. Beyoud Steubenville the Parhandle tracks are almost buried in snow. The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and fcmcu—o Railroad is crippled by snow of an unprecedented depth west of Orrville, where in the cuts there were drifts five and six feet deep. The Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads are in better condition, being troubled only by meeting of prune growers who belong to | Association | | between Cleveland and Leavittsburg on | | that Gleason had not returned his friends feared he had fallen into the slough and been drowned.

At 10:30 o'clock they found him on Dead Man's Island, about three miles from town. It was there he had spent the night and he was waiting for some one to come to his assistance. Gleason had been without food or drink for nearly twenty-eight hours and when he was found he was in a very weak con- dition.

A speclal from Beaver, Pa., says Roch- ester, West Bridgewater, Industry and Smiths Ferry are flooded and the residents are moving their household effects and supplies to higher ground. All the glasshouses and manufacturing plants will be flooded. News from Sister- ville, W. Va., says the river is rising rapidly and much damage will be done. The Ohio River Railroad has not run a train since yesterday afternoon and will not move a wheel for a couple of days | vet. Between there and Wheeling a haif- mile landslide has ccvered the track with earth seven to ten feet deep. At Newecastle the Shenango River over- flowed this afternoon near the center of the manufacturing districts and caused the Shenango tin mill, the largest in the world, and the Baldwin & Graham stove foundry to close. A few hours later the big steel mill was also forced to stop work. The river is still rising and indica- tions point to enforced idleness of almost every industrial plant. Irwin, Pa., reports an almost continu- ous downpour of rain for the past four days, which has done much damage there. Yougheney shaft is again flooded and it is feared the entire workings of the shaft will be drowned out. The Herekensaith Wheel and Mine Car Company at Irwin The big Penn Plate Glass Company in the south part of the town is in a shaky condition and grave fears are felt that the immense walls may give way. The dam above Irwin at present holds about 20,000,000 gallons of water. Early this morning a break was discovered near the overflow and workmen are now repairing the weak spot. Carnegie, six miles southwest of Pitts- burg, is in a state of panic. To add to the excitement, a number of negroes got drunk on liquor being carried from the cellars of saloons. Chief of Police Foster tried to arrest three of them, when they attacked him with razors, cutting him se- verely. The fire bells were rung and the citizens turned out. They suppressed the negroes and arrested three of them. Car- negie is in the worst condition from flood in its history. Much of the trouble at Carnegie was caused by. the breaking of the Panbandle railroad bridge over Char- tres Creek at Heidelburg. The debris floated down to the Third-street bridge and blocked there. This backed the water up into the main thoroughfare and skiffs —_—— MME. RIBAULT'S SPECIFICS. Free Beauty aker A Trial Package Mailed Free To Every Laly.

Traffic on all the electric and steam roads has been greatly impeded, and the tele- graph and telephone companies have had their service badly crippled by falling wires.
