Of dollars has been done.
It waa an anxious night for the residents
and property owners along the river. Thus
far only ana life has been lost In this olty.
Michael Igol. aged it years, waa drowned
at 7:30 this morning In the kitchen of his
home at the falls of Schuylkill. The height
of the flood was reached at 6 o'clock thla
morning, when the river, which had ex
panded to twice Its width, began to slowly
recede. Communication by telegraph and
telephone with the upper part ot the river
early today waa cut off and information as
to the condition In towns situated on the
river banks waa meager.
During the day the Schuylkill river be
of Its banks, however, and will scarcely
reach Its normal level for twenty-four
hours.

Llebrecht's bride la a daughter of Carl
Kawell, a civil war veteran, and at present
an Inmat of th stale Soldier' bom at
Minnehaha. Mr. Kawell and her five chil
dren. Including her daughter Emma, now
Mrs. Llebrecht, lived In the Kawall home
stead, a short distance from Manka.to.
Emma mad a livelihood by dressmaking.
Last November Llebrecht began to pay her
attentions and then the persecutions of th
family by an unknown enemy began. Let
ter were posted en th Kawall doors,
warning th Kawall family that their home
would he burned. A similar letter was left
a few day later and th family paid no
attention to them, thinking It waa the work
of some mischievous boys. A strange man
was afterwards sees by neighbors lurking
around th house and peering In at the
windows of the cottage. The man was
chased away and nothing thought ot th
affair.
Hon I Barned.
November th hous waa Bred and
burned to th ground, and th Kawall fam
ily narrowly escaped death from the flame.
Th persecutor hav never mad known
their motive, and aa Emma never received
attentions front any other man but Lle
brecht Jealously could not have been th
cause. A third letter was found near th
smouldering ruins of their home, saying
th worst was to come. Tha Kawalla
then turned th casa over to th sheriff,
who could get no clew to the Identity ot
th parties.
Threatening letter followed each other,
all ot which wer written In German. In
spit of these continued persecution Lis.
brecht and Mis Kawall wer married
lately, although Llebrecht was warned Id
later letter to cease paying attentions
to Mis Kawall or his bom would be
burned. For a while th letter ceased,
and th couple thought their persecutor
had concluded to let them, live In peace.
Lately Llebrecht was awakened by the
smashing of on of th windows In hi
hous and on going out found wood and
trash piled against his door, and he aaw
two man running away. A atrlct wateh Is
now being kept on the premtsea to prevent
