feet. A heavy rain set in, five inches

with the two feet of snow that is fast
letting go under the rising tempera-
ture and the warm rain, has placed the
streets in an indescribable and impass-
able condition. In many of the streets
the sewers are stopped, causing the
water to accumulate to the depth of
several feet, flooding cellars and in
many low spots even covering the
gfound floors of residences and bust
ness houses. Street car and other
travel is generally suspended, livery
men refusing, even at enormous prices
to allow their horses and vehicles to

cations, making it impossible to gather
a complete report of the actual damage
being done. The gravest fears are en-
tertained of destructive flood all
along the Ohio valley.
