RIVER
WEATHER M RIvEES
GAS WORKS, April %, 1889.
River fell in last "a hours 8 inches.
Below high-water mark 3 feet II
inches.
It will be seen that q change has &C.
Cured in the river st this point. It is
again swelling, and is going up even
more rapidly than it fell. Very little, il
any, Of the swell az this point can as yet
be caused by the rise going on in the
Upper Mississippi. This rise is coming
out of the Ohio, but 1t will soon be seeel-
lerated by the water coming from the
Missouri and Mississippi above st. Louis. /
The wet weather is particularly unfortu-
nate at this time, as it aids the rise ma
terislly by swelling the small streams
and causing the SHOWS to run of rapidly, |
when otherwise they would 90 so gradu-
ally. We nave frequent inquiry by let
ter in reference to cur opinion about an
overflow. We can only reply that if We
knew the kind Of weather we are TO have
we might venture to express ourselves
on the subject with some degree Of Ger
tainty, but as all predictions fail on the
latter question we can only give facts,
and let our readers form their own pre-
dictions. The Ohio is again falling at
Cincinnati and Pittsburg, or it was yes
terday. Our dispatches Of midnight last
night may however show differently, as
it no doubt rained during the day. The
Ohio at Cairo is rising, as viii be seen by
cur special dispatch. The Cumberland
and Tennessee are rising, and both rivers
are full. White and the Arkansas are
swelling. The rise in the Upper Missis-
sippi and Missouri we apprehsnd is large.
The Cincinnati Enquirer OF the 221
says: The river remained about station
airy all day yesterday, having risen q
foot during the night previous, with
t~wenty-three and n half feet in the
channel last evening.
The Nashville Banner of the 22d
says: The Cumberland river at this
point is rising fast. We report sixteen
feet on HsTpeth Shoals, and from INTEL
ligence from above find the headWater
tributaries as much swollen. We may
look for q further rise of five feet before
the freshet runs out.
