Rate Of an Inch an HOur-SeVen
Hundeed Houses
Now Uader Water-Great Distress-Tke
Deluge OF 1S47 Repeated-Sti!l
Raining Heavily.

/ Special to the Appeal
NASHVILLE, January 16.-At Y o'clock
tonight the river was rising at the rate of
| one inch per hour. IL is now up TO within
three feet OF the rise Of 1S47. The merchants
on Broad and Market streets have been COM
PEELED to remove their goods out of the base
ment stories, into large number of which
water has now found its way. 1t is raining
heavily here and northward, and it is more
than probable that the river will reach the
hight of the great rise of 1917, which
was 54.67. All the mills on the
E1gefeld side are completely surrounded by
water, aud it is feared that large amount
of lumber will float down tonight. The
Losses to the wheat crop, fences and logs from
the head to the mouth are beyound compu-
tation, and it is thought further rise will
take away houses and booms. Seven bum
dred houses in the depressions around Nash
vile are now in water. Many people who
had refused to leave their homes were com
PEELED to abandon them tonight in the rain.
There is a great deal of distress among per-
sons thus temporarily deprived of their
homes.
