Pittshurg, May 18. The s tor in of wind and rain that has prevailed throughout eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania for three days is believed to be over. Sharpsburg is under several feet of water and the residents have moved to the upper floors. At Beaver Palls excitement is still at fever heat over the prediction that the town is to be swept from the face of the earth on the 19th. Few people slept as reports were abroad that Jhe upper dam just east of town was weakening, and a break was possible at any time. If this should occur a body of water seven miles Ion?, half mile wide and eight feet deep will be released to dash on the lower end of Beaver Falls. Fallston. Brjdcewater and other towns below. Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad officials were on the ground all night with an enormous force of men doing everything in their power to pre vent the break. The situation at Newcastle was verv grave this morning. A break is threat ened in the levees west of the town at any moment and Mayor Richardson has sent the entire police force and fire de partment to warn the people of South Newchastle to flee to the hills. The break will cover that part of the city to the depth of at least 12 feet. bince midnight over lO miles of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio track be tween here and Sharonhave been ruined. The large railroad bridge near the Etna furnace went down this morning with over 20 loaded cars. Several bridges and houses floated down this morning. Boats are plying in three feet of water in the principal streets and business is entirely suspended. Washington, May 18. The Mississ ippi river is falling at St. Louis and Memphis. At Helena it is rising rapidly. Below the mouth of the Arkansas to New Orleans it is stationary. Jk. BIG DEAI. CHURCH HTItKKT WIDENING. TboH. D. ro- Tlie "Red Line" Sold to a Syndi cate of Asbevllle Men. One of the largest deals consummated in Asheville for some time was the sale, yesterday afternoon, of the Montford avenue car line. The road was sold by the Asheville Loan, Construction and Improvement company to a syndicate of Asheville men, composed of ex-Alderman E. Baird. J. S. Adams. W. H. Penland. J. E. Dickerson and E. P. Withers. The price paid was $24,000. The syndicate will probably be headed by Mr. Baird. and the management of the line will probably be in his hands as soon as the tormal transfer of the property is made. In making the purchase the syndicate will give a bond to insure the extension of the road to Pearson's bridge, on the rrencn liroad, by the farst of November. 1803. The line from the present termi nus to the bridge will, including swithes. add one mile to the present length of the lin. This work of extension will be be gun as soon as the necessary material can be brought here. The com nan v s office, for the nresent. will be at Powell & Snider's store. This transfer runs the acrirreerate of the n.. Li., v.. o l. io. s sales ot property in the past 60 davs. to $120,000. with the guarantee of $30,000 more in 30 days on account of the extension of the Hue. CITY SCHOOLS CLOSING. Jobnslou States His tltloa Thereto. Editor The: Citizen: I have just seen the report in Tub Citizen of the 16th of a statement made by Alderman J. M. Gudger in regard to the Church street matter, in which he says : "It was Cap tain Johnston that had caused the Board to wait 30 days for a jury report by re lusing to accept service of notice after he told the Chief of Police he would accept service." Now if Mr. Gudger had done me the fair ness to tell all the facts about the mat ter I don't think I would have been placed in the false position before the public of unreasonably causing this de lay. I dii agree to waive the 30 days notice, but after waiting for two or three weeks, during which time I could have been present the Chief of Police came to me and said that the jury would meet on a day when I had an engagement that would take me out of the city. When I asked the Chief of Police why he had not summoned the jury, sooner he told me that he was waiting till the court ended so that Mr. Sondley could be present. As I could not possibly be on hand at the date suggested by the Chief I told him I must withdraw in v waiver of the legal notice required. Mr. Gudger ought to know that "the Board" has been tinker ing with this Church street matter for more than a year and could long since have had a determination of it; and that this is about the third or fourth jury they have summoned without any hin drance from me to widen this street. If I am not mistaken, a. report of a jury is before the Board on which . they haye never taken action. There has been but one conference with me, so far as I now remember, to settle the matter and that was several months, possibly a year ago. Since then I have proposed to members of the street committee under the old Board, as I have suggested to our present mayor that if a fair and reason able proposition were made by the au thorities 1 thought the parties interested would agree to it. I have only insisted on a fair and just compensation for the valuable property the city proposes to condemn, less a fair and reasonable award of benefits, if any, which might accrue by the widening. Very truly, Thos. D.Johnston. PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY the: TENTH ANNUAL HUSSION AT WASHINGTON.
