quehanna River, and for a distance of 30
miles the river is entirely blocked. Nearly
the whole town of Rupert is submerged
and on Water street the water comes up
to the second story. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Station is surrounded by water
and several mouses have been moved from
their foundations and the great majority
of the farms oro under water.
At Bloomsburg the ice is jammed up 40
feet high and the large bridge over the

moment. One-third of the town of
Bioomsburg is submerged by the waters
of the Susquehanna and Fishing Creek.

OHIO FLOOD AT CREST.
One-Third of the Houses at Wheeling
Are Under Water.
WHEELING. W. Va Jan. 24, Tho crest
yd the flood swell was reached at 4 o'clock
this afternoon whea the sfage was 44 feet
2 inches. Fully one-third of the homes in
the city were wholly- or partly Inundated.
and the sharp fall in temperature has
caused a creat deal of suffering. On tue
island "very few streets are out of " the
water "and many second stories are In
vaded, but the residents are accustomed
to floods and have made arrangements ac
cordingly. The weather remains cold, and
many halls and churches have been
thrown open for the accommodation of
those who are suffering.
Word reached her this evening that Joe
Cutler and Charles Reynolds, who cut
loose in a light barge from the steamer
Lizzie Townsend when that boat burned
Saturday night, were picked up above
Matamoras.
The to vf boat Sam Brown sighted the
craft at Sistervllle and heard the cries of
the men for help. The steamer gave chase
for five miles and finally overhauled tho
barge and took the two men off more
dead than alive.
In Benwood there is not a single block
that is high an dry and the 5000 people
are living in second stories or on the
hillsides, while the suffering is intense. In
Bellaire. Bridgeport and Martins' Ferry on
the Ohio side, the situation is not so bad
as the ground is higher.
NAVIGATION OPENS ON THE OHIO
Loss During Siege by Ice Estimated
at $200,000 at Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 24. With the arrival
here of the steamer Courier, last night,
navigation was opened in part of the Ohio
River, after a complete suspension of al
most two months. During that time sev
eral largo packets and a dozen smaller
ones and hundreds of coal barges have
been anchored here. Two small packets
were wrecked by the breaking of ice
gorges, and the number of barges lost will
never be known.
The total loss is placed at 200,000. The
Indirect loss is much greater. It is said
that the loss of one of the large packets
by being laid up is 51000 per day. The river
is open for navigation now only between
Louisville and Maysville, Ky., so that
none of the through packets up the river
for Pittsburg or down the river for Mis
sissippi points are yet able to run on ac
count of the Ice.
While freezing weather again prevails
throughout tho Ohio Valley, the river is
now too high to be again closed.
Nasty Mess on Pittsburg Streets.
PITTSBURG, Jan- 24. The flood of yes
terday has in a great measure passed this
point, but portions of the two cities are
still submerged, and will not be freed from
the water until after midnight.
In Allegheny the gas supply was erratic.
and the distribution of coal by the city
authorities in the poorer neighborhoods
brought about a riotous condition. When
the fuel was dumped In the streets, men.
women and children fought for Its posses
sion, requiring a strong guard of police to
preserve order.
Wreckage and huge cakes of ice strew
the streets. A thick sediment of slimy
mud, mingled with ice, makes many dis
tricts unfit to walk through. Huge tim
bers, portions of doors, stairways, barrels,
boxes, cans and other debris washed upon
the streets by the flood have rested where
the water left them.
The big coal companies have been busy
all day preparing their fleets for coal
shipments to the South.

LOVES LOWLY MAID
Archduke Ferdinand Would
MarFy Bertha Czuber.
HER FATHER A PROFESSOR
Lover Is Nephew of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, and Brother of
the Heir Presumptive to
v the Throne.
"VTENNA,Jan. 24. Reports are being per
sistently published that Archduke Ferdi
nand Charles, nephew of Emperor Fran
cis Joseph, and brother of the heir pre
sumptive to the throne, Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, is determined to marry Bertha
Czuber, daughter of a professor of math
ematics in Vienna University, and it is
even asserted that the wedding has been
fixed for February 13 at Dresden.
An official paper, the Magyar Nemzet,
however, declares that these reports should
be received with the utmost reserve. It
says also that Emperor Francis Joseph,
without whose consent it is inconceivable
that the Archduke will contract such a
union, has never been approached on the
subject, and that it is Impossible to fore
tell what his decision would be in case the
proposition reached him.
According to all reports the nearest rel
atives of the Archduke are doing their ut
most to persuade him to abandon the
project, but as to the result of their ef
forts the reports are conflicting.
GIVE KING PETER NO REST.
Agitation Is Continued Against the
Karageorgevitch Dynasty.
"VIENNA, Jan. 24. A telegram from Bel
grade reports that Servians and Montene
grins living abroad are engaged in a vig
orous agitation against the Karageorge
vitch dynasty and have planned a conspir
acy against King Peter. Pamphlets have
been distributed in one of the Balkan
states describing King Peter's active agi
tation against King Alexander and mak
ing serious charges against him.
While the Servian government declines
to consider this movement seriously in
structions have been issued to keep a
sharp watch over Servian and Montenegrin
emigrants. It is conjectured that this
conspiracy is the work either of Montene
grins or of the sisters of the lata Queen
Draga,
A dispatch to the Neues Welner Journal
from" SamHn, which is six miles-from Bel
grade, says that a number of drunken
army officers belonging to the "murder
party" recently made a demonstration in a
restaurant at Belgrade against the powers,
during which portraits of Eemperor Fran
cis Joseph and the Czar were burned. The
offending officers were court-martialed,' but
upon a special order from King Peter the
proceedings were stopped.
PANIC IN BERLIN THEATER.
Section of Celling Falls, but Fortun
ately No One Is Injured.
BERLIN, Jan. 24. During the perform
ance tonight at the Deutsches Theater the
fall of a portion of the celling of the cor
ridor caused great excitement. With the
exception of an usher who was slightly
hurt no one was Injured.
The falling celling made a great crash

panic. From the, stage an actor assured
the people there was no danger and quiet
was restored.

numbers. After the excitement subsided
tho play was resumed.
Dealing Heavily in Oil Business.
BERLIN, Jan. 24. The Hamburg Pe
troleum Production Company has in.
creased its capital from $750,000 to $3,000,000
and has purchased all the Roumanian
petroleum interests of the Deutsche Bank.
This company is allied with the Shell
Transport & Trading Company, and these
transactions, following as they do the
-formation last week of the new German
Petroleum Company of Berlin with a
capital of $5,000,000 indicates, it is thought,
greater interest on the part of German
capitalists in the oil business than it has
seen for years past.

AMERICANS ABE IN FAVOR.
Country Would Prosper Immensely In
Case of War.
LONDON, Jan. 24. The condition of the
Stock Exchange for the past week seems
to indicate the possibility of a boom
should the Far Eastern crisis be settled
peacefully. Almost all prices showed
recovery, although business was very
moderate.
One of the chief features of the week
was the strength of the American market,
both for bonds and shares, which were
bought largely from the Unltdd States
and Germany. Berlin operators are still
highly optimistic regarding peace be
tween Russia and Japan, but the confi
dence in American securities appears to
be based upon the belief that a localized
war would greatly benefit trade In the
United States and British railways.
Foreign securities, including Japanese,
Chinese, and Russians, all participated
in the recovery. The only exception was
