noon, gathered again before 10 o'clock,
and rain has been falling above and below.
The weather Is warm, almost sultry. The
effect of this uncertainty is to cause an
other lifting to higher levels of vast guam
titles of goods hitherto supposed to be
above the reach Of water. This is done at
an immense labor under the
most trying circumstances, the
men standing in water. Water
now stands in cutters on the south side of
Pearl street on Walnut, and the Little
Miami depot is flooded. Wagons are no
longer able to cross Newport bridge. The
Louisville 81 Nashville trains receive pas
sengers on the trestle at the Cincinnati
end of the bridge, they reaching it by
boats. The Cincinnati, Hamilton q Day
ton road, which has been the only outlet
for trains northeast tonight,
went under the flood to such an
extent that no trains could
pass. This leaves the city practically cut
off from the rest of the world to the north,
east and west. by rail communication, ez
cept that of the Bee Line road which still
runs trains leaving from the stock yard
station. This outlet is also accessible by
the Cincinnati, Washington u Baltimors
trains, and they may enter and depart in
that way. The difficulty On the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton s. Dayton railroad is not
fully understood. 1t is thought the water
on the track in the city limits sufficiently
accounts for the stoppage. Three
hundred passengers are waiting at
Winton place for transportation by onlni-
bus into the city. The Cincinnati & South
ern railroad sent out train tonight and
received one but the water has SO per-
meated Mclean avenue that wagons sank
to the hub while removing express and
baggage, and most lively fears are enter
tanned that the whole street will sink I'M
der trains. No efforts will be made
tomorrow to run this road into
the city. There is no point this side of the
bridge where passengers can be taken on
the cars. It can't be told yet what ar
engagements will be made for forwarding
mail or what will be done about the run
ming of trains. The main fact is that what
ever is done long haul must be made to
reach trains. But single road is now able
to reach the depot; that is the Cincinnati
Northern.
