PLYMOUTH, N. April 15. -Northern New Hampshire is flooded with water. Kaiu began falling Saturday morning, and has poured in torrents ever since. Not since 1878 have the Penigewasset and Baker rivers risen to such a height.

The Pemigo has risen seventeen feet and is still rising at the rate of twelve inches an hour. The river is full of floating debris and timber, and the meadows are covered with logs and Hood wood. The highways leading out of Plymouth along the river are impassible. The wires are not work ing north of here, but the Connecticut and Ammoonoose rivers must havo risen several feet. The prospects now are that northern New Hampshire will experience the largest flood on record.

The Pemige Wasset Valley railroad is under water in several places and the roadbed is in danger of being washed out. The roadbed is gone in many places for more than a quarter of a mile. There is danger of a large amount of damage being done on the line of the Concord Montreal road. Last night's trains were canceled. NASHUA, N.

April 15--The great rainfall has raised the Merrimac and Nashua rivers, together with Salmon Brook, into rushing torrents. Saturday night and Sunday the rainfall was the heaviest for a number of years, averaging 2 3-100 inches. The Merrimac commenced to rise at an early hour and this morning the water was 12 feet above low water mark and was rising at the rate of six inches per hour. The Jackson company's mills are shut down on account of back water. The Merrimac has overflowed its banks at the junction of the Nashua.

It now threatens to equal the high record of 1878, when backwater in the Merriraac rose above the Jackson company's dam and flooded the lower rooms of the mills. ItocriESTEE, N.

Influx of Water to nines in Ohio- Damage Great. CLEVELAND, special to the Press from Salineville, Ohio, says: Owing to a mistake of the surveyors of the old shaft mine, the shaft was run under the bed of Big Yellow creek. On Saturday afternoon while the miners were at work, the roof fell in, without any warning. The mine wasilooded. and some of the men had narrow escapes from drowning.

All day Sunday men were at work in the bed Of the Cteek, tij'Jiig clmuge llie stream, but owing to the water three efforts were unsuccessful. The old shaft connected with the new mine and the water is backing up into the workings of the latter, and it is feared both mines will be a total loss. Two hundred miners will be thrown out of work, and a loss of $30,000 'sustained by the owners of the mine. The mines are the only means of support of the people of the town.

IN THEHKELL. Prisoners Make Bogus Coin at Blackwell's Island Penitentiary. THE CLEVER SCHEME. Between $500 and a $1,000 Made Within a Few Weeks. A FULL CONFESSION.

Counterfeiter Tells How He Worked the Plan Successfully. NEW YORK, April the past three months or so the stores Harlem have been Hooded with counterfeit dimes, quarters and half dollars. The secret service squad has been trying to ferret out the gang distributing the bogus coin. They eve they have now got to the bottom of the mystery. John Houghton was serving a sentence of five months for assault, in the Blackwell'3 island penitentiary.

His time expired Saturday. While in prison he worked in the blacksmith shop. A week ago Warden Pillsbury found counterfeit ttn cent pieces in the wash room of the prison. He questioned th? guards and prisoners, it could gat no information in regard to the matter. A quiet senich of the cells was made.

In Houghton's cell was found a counterfeiter's outfit and over $100 in bogus dimes, quarters and half dollars. The warden notified Chief Detective Baggs of ttie United thelrarden' disturbed. The prisoner denied any knowledge of the matter and remained mute until Saturday afternoon last, when, as he was about to leave the prison on a discharge, he was rearrested by Baggs. He then broke down and made a complete confession. He said that at a suggestion of another prisoner, whose name could not be learned last night, he entered into the scheme.

They secured some plaster of Paris from one of the prison departments, and borrowing some new coins from fellow-prisoners, they used them to make impressions in the plaster. Houghton had no difficulty in obtaining all the lead he wanted, and working in the blacksmith shop he did his work behind a hugh pair of bellows, is claimed that between $500 and was made by two men within six weeks. The man accused ay Houghton is under sentence of nine months. He was also sent up for issault. He denies all complicity in Houghton's crime.

It is said that some of the counterfeit money was found in his cell. Houghton was taken to the United States court in the postoffice building Saturday afternoon, where behind closed doors, he repeated his confession before the commissioner. He was committed to Ludlow street jail without bail. Four men and two women were recently convicted in the United States court in this city on the charge of passing bogus coin. All refused to iay where they got the money.

It is relieved that many will be arrested as the result of Houghton's confession. FATAL. ACCIDENT.

MET INSTANT DEATH Cassius Smithley Killed Ten Mllw East of Fort Wayne. MISS VAN BUSKIRK His Sweetheart, Miracuously Escapee Without Injury--Other Accidents.

A most thrilling and shocking accident occurred last evening about 10 o'clock at Marquardt's crossing of the Pennsylvania road, ten miles east this city in Allen County. At thai time two west bound freight trains were passing that point on few minutes apart. train was passing the road" crosS! Mr. Casius Smithley, a young" who resides near Hoagland, an'd his sweetheart, Miss Lucy Van BuskirTtV drove up in a carriage driving one horse. They stopped about forty rods from from the track to let the train pass.

As soon as the rear end of the train passed they started toward the crossing at a leisurely gait. When the crossing was reached another train consisting of an engine and a caboose, came up following the preceding train. The young man whipped up his horse in an attempt to cross the tracks before the engine came up. Miss Yan Boa- kirk heard the crossing whistle and the ringing of the bell and told her companion that he could not cross in time. The horse was urged on and the accident occurred.

Engineer Christian Colmy, of this city, says that the crash came and momentarily affected the motion of the light freight train. The shock was severe and the horse was hurled high into the air. The carriage was broken into kindling wood, ant? Mr. Smithley and Miss Van Buskirk were hurled about sixty feet away, says Coroner Harrod. They landed in a swampy spot in about a foot of water and sand.

The young farmer alighted on his head ind a rock in the bottom of the pool lenetrated the skua and exposed the rain. Death was instantaneous. Besides the fracture of the skull there were other bruises on the body. Miss Van Btiskirk's escape wa's almost miraculous. She, too, was hurled sixty-five feet from the crossing, and anded on her feet about a foot and a lalf from where her unfortunate janion struck.

Other than receiving i severe shock, she was not injured in the least. There was not even a scratch or a braise on her body. She was able to walk about and picked up the prostrate form of bar lover. a mournful she said: '-'I told 'Cash 7 that he could not make it. I am not hart, except that my arm which was nearer the lo- emotive aches slightly." The victim of the accident was a very popular and prominent young 'armer.

He is about 24 years old and is the son of Eaos C. Smithley, a wealthy farmer who resides near Hoagland. The son was an active young republican and is well known in this city, owing to his active work in the last campaign. The remains were moved to Mr. Marquardt's residence near the scene of the accident, where they were viewed by Coroner Harrod.

When the accident occurred Mr. Smithley was driving to church from Misa VanBus- cirk's home, which is five miles east of Hoagland. OTHER ACCIDENTS. "Doc" Powell, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
