lars to the sustenance fund, with more

fund diverted to home use. The great
est disaster that ever befell the city
is now upon us. The flood crisis came
about midnight, and today yearly a
square mile is under water within the
limits of the city. From 5000 to 5000
people are driven from their homes.
To cap the climax there has been loss
of life, but how great is still impossi-
bic to say this morning. The entire
section of the city from Preston street
east 10 the cut off and north of the
short line fill is in the river. The

How the Tariff Closes the Mills.

Quite number of the iron and steel
mills of the country have shut down
and thrown thousands of poor fellows
out of employment. These poor fell
lows do not know how to get any re-
lief out of the protective tariff. rh
tariff did not keep the mills from clos
ing, and does not feed the men when
they are thrown out of employment.
In fact, the tariff caused the mill
owners to close their mill. How?
Why, just this way: 1t enables them
to make enormous and unnatural
profits. They were SO greedy to get
enormously rich that they overstocsed
the market, and then closed their

4 Terrible Catastrophe.

ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE PERISH.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 13-A shocking
disaster is reported by telephone from
the western part of the city. Both
freight and passenger depots of the
Cincinnati Southern railroad were
undermined and fell into the surround
ing water, carrying with them hun
dred or more people. The depots were
one story frame structures resting on
Mclean avenue, which was almost
covered by water. Both sides fell.
The water is thirty to fifty feet deep.
The earth has become so soaked as to
melt and the catastrophe was further
hastened by the breaking Of the sewer
which sent current along the bank.
Crowds of people have been in that
vicinity looking at foods, and 1t is
supposed these are the victims.
CINCINNATI, Feb. I3-The riverat Il
o'clock is sixty-four feet eleven inches,
and is rising slowly. 1t will certainly
reach sixty-five feet before it begins to
fall. The weather is cloudy and warm.
The Waterwofks engines are all idle
and there is water in the reservoir
enough for six days.
The police report the increase of
crime consequent in the lack of gas at
night. A brick dwelling house on
Ochler street, it is reported, fell this
morning. Much sickness is found
among the imprisoned people in tene-
ment houses. Relief boats are busy
visiting all such places. There are
ample means at hand to prevent suf-
fering.

The deadlock was disastrously affect

republican candidates who had been
in the field from the outset, and who
knew the election was hopeless, were
too stubborn and selfish to yield one
