OVERFLOW OF the scIoro,

KENToN, O., January 29.-The heavy
rains Of the last few days have raised the
scioto river higher than it has been for
twenty-five years past, flooding the cotn-
try in theyicinity and causing great de-
struction Of property. At 8 o'clock. this
morning it was at the highest stage.
Walkers planing-mill and lumber.yard
are partly under water.
RUsHvlLIE, IND, January 29.-The
tremendous rains which have fallen in
this vicinity for the last few days have
caused the streams to overflow, and have
done great damage to farms and roads. A
large portion Of Rushville was inundated
last night. Many families were compelled
TO abandon their houses. The water has
receded to-day.
I RICHMOND, Ind, January 29.-High
water caused two breaks in the Cincinna-
ii, Richmond & Fort Wayne road. The
White Water Valley is washed near Ha.
gerstown, and causes delay in the arrival
OF trains. There is considerable water
on the Panhandle for mile between New
Madison and Greenville, but trains pass
through safely. No serious damage is
reported to property along the White
Water river.
EVANSVILLE, IND, January 29.-No

vile Railroad. Two transfers have to be

FLOOD IN THE OHIO AT LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, January 30.-The present
food from the Ohio river overflow in and
around Louisville, New Albany, Jeffer-
sonyille and Southern Indiana is the
greatest and most damaging that has oc-
Cured for years. The Ohio ceased SWELL
ing last night. and this evening is reced-
ing slowly. The absence Of flood gate
at the outlet Of the creek in Louisville
allowed large quantity OF water from
the river to rush in on part OF the city
yards, cellars and lower stories OF the
houses, and the workshops were filled
with water, but no loss OF life or serious
damage to property has occurred in
Southern Indiana. The flood caused con-
siderable damage TO private property,
and passengers on the various railroads
coming from Chicago have been taken
over several circuitous routes, going first
to Mitchell, thence to Jacksonville,
thence to North Vernon, and from there
10 Cincinnati. Most OF the serious wash
away on the Louisville & indianapolis
road is between Rockford and Columbus,
and on the Ohio & Mississippi road be-
tween Brownstown and Mitchell. Twenty
cars OF stone were taken over the Ohio &
Mississippi road to-day to repair the
damage, ,Itfs, expected that the repairs
win be completed today, and travel will
be resumed tomorrow over the damaged
roads.

900 feet, of which 1,2G2,5e5,S7O feet were

who have in use 1,l9l,S03 lights. Tho
average Illuminating power Of the gas
was 1861 candles. The gas was furnish
