CONVICTION AND LExISuToS.
We do not Learn that his road has sustained any
ma;eris. damage along any prortion OF the track 1t
seems to have escaped entirely the fury Of the storm,
beyofd what would naturally be caused to the road
bed BY the fall Of 30 heavya body OF water. We
Learn however that all along the line Of the road the
fields Of grain have been completely Frustrated, and
greatly damaged.
Since the above was written we learn that there is
large Side eighteen miles from CovingtOD, and an
train Of cars. Adams Co. 9 messenger came through

THE RISE IN THE OHIO, AND DAMAGE.
The Ohio River rose more rapidly yesterday than has
been known snce the great flood of 1917. During the
forenoon the water advanced at the rate of about one
foot peg hour requiring the greatest activity on the
part Of those having freight lying the eyec, to get
1t farther up the bank to escape the flood The tot al
rice at this point was about ten feet, by the Water
Works 6u8ge. No doubt immense damage has been
done at various points along the banks of which We
shall have further accounts upon tue arrival of
steamers
We already hear Of quite extensive land slice
this size Of California, about four miles from the city,
which filled up the turnpike road, on the Kentucky
side, for considerable distance. Another slide &C.
CURED OF Stepstone, come twenty miles distant, by
which large fields OF grain trees and fences were car
RED into the nver. A third occurred nearly opposite
Eew-KicbmOnd, and a fourth just above that place,
on the Ohio side, which carried large Quantities OF
earth grain, &C., into the river. Two other slides
took place lestmaLs, west OF the city OF 1883
disastrous character.
A coke boat, belonging to Ross, Pettibone Il Co. of
this city, consining about 900 bushels of coke,
beached aud filled below Vests Mills, and became
total loss.
The TWO MANS AND THE LICKING RIVERS.
Along the two Miami Rivers several small land.
slides occurred, and trees and fences were carried
down both streams. In many instances, whole green
trees with heavy branching limbs, standing upon the
banks upPooted and borne along upon the swol-
len tide with the speed of steamer
At the mouth Of the Big Miami the water raised
five feet in the same number Of hours, from to II
still rising -
" flats broke loose from their fssenings and were
torn to pieces by the violence of the current
DAMAGE TO THE WHITEWATER CANAL.
The destruction Of banks along the Whitewater Ca
maj has doubt been immense, and the loss sustained
by the food very great. AT two points near this city
the bernie bank was washed into the river, in one
place for distance of perhaps fifty and at the second,
near Sedamsvie, 500 feet, and to depth below the
canal bed.
We also learn that between this city and Harrison
the canal in msny places is overown, while at Harri
son the water from the river and the canal has com
pletey Inundated the surrounding lands and doubt
iess has cone immense damage.
The stone arch of the canal over Mill Creek, near
the moutA gave way yesterday morning. and fell with
terrible crash into the creek, opening space In the
center of fifty feet, the water from the level on
either side pouring OUT and draining the canal nearly
dry.
MILL CREEK VALLEY.
The water in Mill Creek rapidly during Monday
night creating Wild rolling flood, far greater in ex-
tent Il has been known in that stream in years.
The banks were ove1iOwed in every direction, and
when visited Ernsts station yesterday afternoon,
some two three miles from the city, as far as tue
eye could reach up and down the creek, there was
swift, reyeing flood, bearing along on the current
trees logs Ias fences, boards and every species OF
lumber, from the region above and around Cunmins-
vile. All The low lands along the banks for miles In
extent, OVERLOOKED, while in msny places the
lots prepared for garden purposes were entirely num-
date(.
The stone arches and road bridge, abovs
Ernsts Station, which were erected come years
ago, al a cost of ,OO0, are entirely ruined The
arches were not sufficiently cspaciols originally and
the great volume of water which pressed against the
broge sepped the foundation of the arches and caused
the upper SIDE to sink some ten twelve inches and
while reporter examining the structure about
4 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon portion OF the upper
side of the bridge fell INTO the Creek. The damage is
now so great that it would be useless to attempt to
repair it, but il must remain an expensive monument
toa bad Job"
The obstruction presented by this bridge forced the
water in an immense volume upon both sides. Upon
the ives, il ploughed channel, partly upon the
railroad embankment, while upon the east the water
flowed over the low lsnds TO wide extent
The Road Bridge at Ernst Station was also dam
aged. The eastern pier badly scanned by the force
of the water ard during the afternoon several teams
were employ in filing in with stone to brace up the
pier. Ire carriage way upon that side closed up
