PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 30,-From all
parts of eastern Pennsylvania tonight re
ports show that rivers and erecki which
became greatly swollen as a result of Satur
day night nnd Sunday's continuous rains aro
steadily falling. There Is ono exception,
howcror, the lower part of the Susque
hanna river being reported ttlll rising and
close to tho danger mark.
Although ccnildernblo damage was dono
the loss will not bo great, most of the
flooded areas being lowlands along the
upper Schuylkill, Lehigh and Susquehannn
rivers. In the coal districts a few mines
were flooded, causing a suspension of work
for the day. Along tho lower Susquehanna
there Is apprehension that damage will
result from Ice gorges. The water Is said
to be rising six Inches an hour In that vi
cinity. The Schuylkill river In thin city rose
eighteen feet above normal, which rise has
been passed only once In thirty-two years,
ailll .Men Out of Work.
Manayunk, one of the mill districts, suf
fered most from the flood. Kvery mill along
tho river wns forced to suspend operations,
throwing out of work for tho day about
3,000 persons. The river drives through
Fairmont park, and several sections of the
railroad tracks on both sides of tho river
between tho park nnd the mouth of the
Schuylkill were under water for a short
time during tho day. It was feared tha.
the Ilaltlmore & Ohio station on the cast
sldo of tho river nt Chestnut Btrcot would
be Hooded, but Justas tho water got within
a few feot of doing harm the wnter began
to recede and all danger was over.
The rain, which began falling at 7
o'clock Saturday night, ceased at 7 o'clock
this morning, and tn that time the prcclpl
tntlon amounted (o 3.2G inches.

Woman's Work in Club and Charity
Tho Young Women's Chrlstlnn association
tins Issued a circular letter Including a
statement of Its expenses and posslblo re
sources. Comparing tho work with that
of the last year, It Is estimated that $12,tJS5

year, beginning April. 11)02. Of this amount
$2,000 Is asked by subscription and It Is
tho desire of the bonrd to havo the entire
nmount pledged beforo beginning tho year's
work. Though over 500 young women
availed themselves of tho privileges of tho
rooms dally last year, the association Is
entirely free of debt. The need of more
spacious quarters Is constantly felt, for the

present accommodations. With thn con
stantly Increasing membership and demands
upon the association, thu board realizes
that tho chief want Is 11 building which will
admit of the proper conduct of all tho work
now being carried on, II Is hoped that this
