In Pennsylvania.
Pittsuurg, Feb. 23. Continued rains
along the Monongabela river promise to
result in a flood here greater than any
since 1869. At noon the marks showed
26 feet in the channel and the water is
rising niue inches an hour. Old river
men predict from 28 to SO feet here by
night. The lowlands of this city south
of Pittsburg and Allegheny are already
under several feet of watr and residents
are moving to higher ground. '
All the mills along the Monongabela
aud Allegheny rivers have been forced
to close. The tracks of the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie, Pittsburg & Western, and
Pittsburg, McKeesport & Yougblogheny
railroads are submerged.
At Morgantown, W. Va., the water U
3 feet, and rising two inches an hour.
It is now within 13 inches of the flood of
1888, when the water was the highest
ever known.
It rained all night, but is growing
wider. The damage already done in
Pittsburg and vicinity will amount to
many thousand.

were working in the water tunnel ex
tending beneath Lake Michigan, from
Sixty-eight street, a portion of the tunn
el caved in. The men were forced to
run a distance of 760 feet to reach the
car which drew them np to safety, and
although the water rose so rapidly that
it was a very close call for the men, they
managed to reach the cage in safety.
McPhail after getting his men out re
turned for a mule that had been used in
the tunnel and nearly lost his life trying
to save it, being unsuccessful however.
It ib probable that the tunnel will be
abandoned, as it has caved in on pre
vious occasions.
THE NEW TARIFF.
Kates on Tropical Fruits Will' Benefit
California.
Washington, Feb. 23. The Eepub
lican tariflVframers made an important
step in the interest of California fruit
growers today by establishing a rate on
oranges i lemons and limes which is in
advance of the McKinley duties on the
fruits. They fixed the rate on these
fruits at 20 cents a cubic foot on fruits,
whether in bulk or in the packages in
which they are imported. The present
rates are 8 cents a cubic foot, or on those
in bulk, $1.50 a thousand. The McKin
ley rates were 13 cents per package, 1J
cubic feet or less, 25 cents extra per five
cubic teet, and 10 cents for every addi
tional cubic foot. The committee de
cided on the advance on recommenda
tion of California fruitgrowers, who be
lieve that, with sufficient protection
against competition from the Mediter
ranean, they can supply the home mar

New Yoke, Feb. 23. Nervous collapse
caused by overwork is the physician's
diacnoeis of the case of Dr. Charles H.
Parkburat, who has been seriously ill for
over a week at his home. There is a
flight change for the better in the doc
tor's condition, but his mental and
physical conditions are acutely affected,
and it will probably be along time be
fore he can return to his pulpit.
"The doctor is very weak," said Mrs.
Parkhurst, "and is regatning strength
very slowly. Dr. Beebe has encouraged
me in the belief that Dr. Parkhurst will
ultimately recover and will .not sutler any
permanent injury to his health."

CLOSE CALl. OF AN ATLANTIC SHir
i
The Adriatic narrowly MUnea Founder
ing at Sea. '
New Yobk, Feb. 23. During the past
twenty-four hours, storm-tossed steamers
arrived in port bringing startling tales
of narrow escapes from death. The 400
souls on the Adriatic, just arrived from
Liverpool, after the most tempestuous
voyage in its career, are thanking Provi
dence tbe vessel did not turn turtle in
midocean during the trip across.
This vessel had a narrow escape from
foundering in a gale on Wednesday last,
when her cargo shifted and the engines
become deranged. It was the climax of
a six-days' struggle with the elements.
The crew worked with desperation. All
available men were set to work trimming
cargo. When it was nearly finished the
machinery became unmanageable.
The destiny of the vessel was shifted
from the crew to the men in the chief
engineer's department, and for eix
hours, during which the Adriatic was
hoye to, her fate hung in the balance.
On Wednesday, while the seas were yet
making a mill race of the decks, the ma
chinery was repaired and the vessel
again shaped a course for this port.
The Adriatic had forty-five cabin and
ninety-five steerago passengers and a
crew, making a total of nearly 400 peo
ple. She left Queenstown February
11th. Captain Snowden said the trip
was the worst he had ever seen in bis
twenty-five years' experience.
The St. Paul also experienced a most
tempestuous voyage. The vessel was
delayed by heavy seas, propelled by
fierce western gales from the time she
left Southampton on February 14th, un
til Sunday. To ad a to tbe discomfort of
the passengers rain-fell almost continu
ously, making it impossible for them to
go on deck.
"In all my experience," said Captain
Jamieson, "I do not remember of a
rougher February. Both over and back
we had no cessation of gales. The wea
ther was actually bo rough andchangea
ble that the passengors were prevented
from getting seasick. The weather was
so threatening Sunday that I did not
allow any of the officers to go to bed
that night. The ship was not injured
in anv wav."

are tired, we ride. The horse and the
steam engine do the work. Why not
give your stomach a ride; that ie, let
something else do its work. Foods can
be digested outside of the body. All
plants contain digestive principles
which will do this. The Shaker Diges
tive Cordial contain digestive principles
and is a preparation designed to rest tho
stomach, The shakers themselves have
such unbounded confidence in it that
they Jiave placed 10 cent sample bottles
on the market, and it is said that even
so email a quantity proves beneficial in
a vast majority of cases. All druggists
keep it. 0
Laxol is the best medicine for chil
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.
McKinley Not So Well.
Canton, Feb. 23. The instructions of
the attendiug physicians that no one
shall see the president-elect except those
who come on special invitation are be
ing strictly adhered to. Dr. Phillips
this morning found his patient very
little better than yesterday. It is be
lieved tbe conferences held the last of
the week and Sunday were too great a
tax upon him, and he is today suffering
a slight relapse. His physician still
maintains bo will be fully able to go to
Washington next Monday.
Kaali Act of a Loveilck Youth.
Boston, Feb. 23. John Lewis, son of
James Jeffery Bocbe, editor cf the Bos
ton Pilot, shot himself in the right lung
last night, standing in the doorway of
the Castle-Square hotel. The wound is
dangerous. A love uffair is thought to
have been the cause of the act.
