Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Eastern States have been flooded this week owing to heavy rains and melting snows.

Whole towns on the banks of rivers were submerged. On Wednesday the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers reached tbei limit when tbe waters reached a point of 31 feet 10 inches along the river front at Pittsbnrg. The losses will reach $2,000,000. We are in reoeipt of a letter from Prof. L.

F. Klrchner, wbo describes to some extent the scenes in Pittsburg. In low streets tbe water was so high that people in the street cars had to stand on tbe seats to avoid the water. Tbe Juniata and Sosqnehanna rivers are very high. All Western Pennsylvania towns are suffering from tbe flood.

By increasing the activity of the kidneys and bladder, this medicine has the additional effect of expelling from the blood imparl lire which it is the peculiar offioe of those organa to eliminate and pass off.

ABOUT THE TATLOR WORKS. Effort at a Settlement With Creditors Encouraging Prospect of a Re-open-log of the Work. There has been a week of no small amount of worry and anxiety upon the part of the creditors and others interested, to straighten ont the affair of the Taylor Manufacturing Company and place the Works once more in operation. The only thing that can be said is that mnch progress has been made, and it is confidently believed that work will be resumed at an early day. The meeting in the Court House on Friday evening was ope of the largest that has ever been seen there.

This was the meeting of stockholders, to which the Committee of Investigation was to report. It consisted of D. K. Appenzellar, W. H.

Bricker and B. L. Maurer. The committee owing to the short time it bad, was able only to make an approximate estimate of the condition of the Company. The report showed the assets to be about $81,000 in excess of the liabilities.

It was not deemed feasible for the Committee to advise with reference to any of the resolution adopted at the an-nnal meeting, since the items of some of them had already been provided for, and as to the appointment of a receiver, that was for the creditors. Hon. John L. Grier presided and speeches were made by Messrs. Appenzellar, Bricker, Gebr, Manrer, Ludwig, Bowers, and Mahon.

In the meantime Treasurer McDowell was called for and made a second report of the affairs of the Company, which agreed in the main with the report of tbe Committee Of the judgments confessed by the Company Feb. 6, $60,000 was for discounted paper. With reference to the automuic engine, Mr. McDowell said that it cost the Company $30,000 to $60,000 to develop it and put it on tbe market. Tbe patterns belong to the Company, the patents to Supt.

Beck, and he cannot take the patents awav so long as the Company is tn existence. Mr. Beck last year received a royalty of $500 or $600 on tbe automatic engines sold, receiving $5 for each engine. Mr. McDowell said that without putting tbe automatic engine on the trade we would have gone down four years ago.

It is all that kept us alive. He contradicted the statement that there were too many foremen in the shops, and that they were paid excessive wages. We do not pay as much as the Frick and Geiser Companies in Waynesboro, he asserted. As to the closing down, he said We would be ont of existence if the Bank would have done it or not, for the trade was going to do it. In the course of the speeches but one idea pervaded and that was the best way of settling op the affairs of tbe Company, and again putting the WorkB in operation.

It was said by the attorneys present that meetings between the creditors and rrpre-rentatives of the Company had been held and others were to follow, looking to a plan of settlement that would, they hoped, be adopted. Mr. Bowers paid a high compliment to the nine directors of the Company whohad been willing to run such large risks, and for whom everything possiole should be done to save them from financial ruin. The Bale of the personal property by tbe 6heriff took place on Wednesday, and C. Bowers, Esq for the Bank, bought all of the property in although there were outsiders there.

Tbe sale amounted to about $19,000, more than enough to pay tbe wages of the men, whose claims will at once be met A bill in eqnity was filed on Wednesday by Daniel O. Gebr, Esq and Jacob Waga-man, for themselves ana other stockholders, asking for tbe appointment of a Receiver to take charge of tbe property and contiDne the business uptil it is disposed of. This matter will be heard by Court to morrow afternoon. Daily, since the meeting of Friday evening, meetings with the Directors and others concerned have been held for a settlement with the creditors. While a large majority have agreed upon a basis of settlement, fifty cents on the dollar, others bold out and may yet be able to defeat tbe object in view, viz, a settlement, reorganization and resumption of tbe Works.

This morning however better counsels prevail, and only two of thn creditors are yet to sign the agreement, to tbattbo outlook is favorable foran adjustment to-day. There have necessarily been concessions on all sides, and the great effort with all concerned is to have tbe Works reopened at once if possible. More iban $60,000 in stock is already subscribed towards a reorganization and placement of the Works in a strong financial position. Let tbe good work go on. Kochs Lymph Falls in the Case of a Franklin Connly Young Man.
