THE WABASH,
Great Disaster Predicted Along tz<st
Stream.

Ureat Dlsaster Hredfcte0 Along tE<S1
Stream.
NINCUEEs, Ind, Fes. 1.-THE Wabash
Is booming upward, with. prospects of still
rising. The water is twenty feet and seven
Inches in the channel. and is rising at the
rate of ten inches in twenty-foS7r hours. A
remarkable thing to-day iaaconnection with
this sudden rise is that. tbs river Is perfectly
free from ice. The low lands on both sides
of the river in illinois and Indiana are
Hooded. Below this city about two miles
the levee on the Illinois sids- gave way, pre-
cipitatiDg large amount o. water into the
country and chasing people from their
homes Al sad spectacle IL one IN which
one OF these bottom-land farmers
takes his stock, wagon an3 family and
moves off for a dry spot. andcis gone for
days, to return and only find desolation and
starvation staring him in the fsce.
In conversation with Captain Nndol7A, of
the steamer Bell Grande, to-day; that gem
tleman predicted that by next Tuesday the
flood would exceed that memorable one of
August. gs!6; when the Wabash yhlley suf-
fered the greatest loss ever known. Mr.
Joseph Fomerek also predicted that the
Wabash would 60 two feet higher, which
will reach the highest mark on the Govern
ment water gauge. E. NJ. Thompson, of the
wooden ware factory, ordered every
thing removed from the first floor OF his as
as the water was encroaohing
upon it.

The Damage at Louisville.

LoUIsvILLE Feb. IA The Ohio River is
forty-oRe feet, six inches, and rising one
inch per hour. Reports from the upper
points of rain and continued rise in the
Ohio and branch creeks create immense ex-
element. Business is practically at q
stend-still. No boats arrive or depart.
Trains on railroads are irregular, and many
are stopped entirely. Old river men predict
that if the river does not soon recede the
water will cut across the east end and sur
round the entire city. The widest esti-
mates of the damage to property continue to
be made. Nobody knows what estimate
should be made.
Nothing further is known regarding the
loss of life by the cutoff disaster. owing TO
the impossibility of entering the houses ex-
cept BY means of divers. The people are on
the streets. The flood is the only subject of
discussion. 1t is generally agreed that the
loss of life has not been extraordinarily
large.
The Courier-Journal's special from Frank.
fort says the Kentucky River has been sta
tionary with thirty-four feet of water. Ii
fell four feet since last night. 1t has been
raining since morning, and it is now rising
at Clay's ferry.
The river has risen slowly but steady all
day and is now rising an inch an hour, but
owing 70 the preparations made less damage
is being done than at the beginning of the
flood Owing to fact that the former guage
marks are far under water discrepancies oc-
cur in the statements of the stage of the
river. Enough is known TO say the water is
higher than ever known before. The stage
of the water at this hour can safely be put
at forty-two feet. at the hesd of the canal
il is sixty-eieht feet.
Perhaps 100 additional buildings were
taken more or less into the watery embrace
since the last report.
This morning the heavy embankment oil
the Short Line Railroad, not far removed
from the river front, broke at the foot OF
Clay street for sixty feet, one point of the
earth being swept away and the rails and
ties twisted around. The road is under
water from First 10 Wenlzel, q
distance of nine squares, and for
depth of four to ten feet. A lot
| of freight cars kept on the track to prevent
break were tossed aside like bubbles, lying
in the water to the side of the track. The
sixty-feet break caused twenty-seven houses
| to be inundated, hitherto protected by the
| fill. No loss of life occurred by reason oi
| the break.
At 10 a. m. man and woman with trunks
were seen in skiff in portion of the cut
eff district known as the chute. They had
no oars to propel the skif. A party set of
to rescue them, but before they
coulk be reached the skit
stnrck a log, broke In tive carts, and the mar
broken open, and contained lot OF chill
dren's and other clothing II any child wa
with them ii was noe seen. A package o.
visiting cards were found in the trunk, anc
bore the name of "Rosina M. Greenbaum.'
| 1t is supposed to be the name of the woman
lost. There was nothing to indicate, tn,
name Of the man. This is the only addition

The provisions in the stores there are ex-
hausted.
Later-The Western Hotel is destroyed,
being considered dangerous for the people
to remain on the second floor.
1t stopped raining at / o'clock, but still
remains cloudy, warm and threatening,
with occasional showers of wind from the
south. The river is steadily increasing upon
the city, rising at this hour at the rate OF
fully one inch an hour. No casualties,
however, yet reported in the city, but the
damage to property and destitution of the
people must be great in any event.
NEW ALBANY.
Special to the Sentinel:
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE loss by
the flood here Is not less than s250,O00. No
lives lost. Farmers along the Ohio suffe
greatly, many losing their entire crops. Six
hundred families are houseless and many
destitute. The manufactures are stopped.
MoSTEzUMA
Special to the Sentinel:
MoNTEzUMA, Ind, Feb. 14.-A heavy
rain storm prevailed throughout this part
of the country last night, causing the al
ready swollen streams to rise rapidly, and
flooding all the low ground within the
town limits to an unprecedented ex-
tent. Several dwelling houses were
flooded to such an extent that the
occupants were forced to leave them during
the night, and ]. X Ireland's grocery store
had over an inch of water on the floor when
opened this morning. The river is still ris-
ing rapidly, with heavy how of ice in the
channel. There is more water visible here
now, excepting in the river, than was ever
before known. All trains are delayed on
roads running through here, on account of
damage done by water.

ST. LOUIS Feb. 1S.-Ths cold weather
which set in here Friday last, while it
stopped the rainfall and further thawing Of
snow and Ice, has not shscked the rise in
the rivers, as was anticipated it would. All
streams, botA great and small, throughout

on neasly all the roads eentering here have

koUIsVIRBE, Feb. 17.-After going all over
the water, must say OF Jacksonville
that It is beyond power to desoribe the great
desolation. Fully s5 per cent,-ei the city is
under water. The business street of Jeffer-
sonville is grand canal, sud the streets
only used by boats. So sudden was the food
upon them merchants had no time to remove
any portion of their stock. 1t IS almost inn
possible for any one to makera purchase,
even If the woold be had funds. Every
thing is under water. There IS not much
wealth in the city, and when consequent
sickness comes there will be an open field
for charity work
Jacksonville will be quite lsrgely de-
pendent upon the generous puiEic for at
least thirty days We find a noble set Of
workers who are doing all that humans can
do to properly distribute the dO,ations re-
ceived. It is imperative to recognize their
wants for some time yet.
We have visited New Albany, and find
that the generous donations now on their
way will be gratefully received and placed
where every cracker will find hungry
mouth.
We learn of some loss and intenee suffer-
ing at Leavenworth and some intermediate
points, and have from Captain Irwin, who
owns the ferry from Portland to New Alba
ny, q noble offer to transport any supplies
sent to the needy as far as Leaven worth
a point some sixty five miles belowapon his
own boats free.
louisville is great sufferer, but We saw
it's Mayor in Jeffersonville to-day, nobly of
fering to aid If necessity demandea, but it
is not reasonable to suppose Louisville can
do much more than relieve their own blood
and sinew in their great distress.

Special to the Sentinel:
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE river is
rising slowly, and marks forty-seven feet
six inches. 1t will probably come to stand
tomorrow. The water has backed mp into
the upper part of the city until large
number of streets are impassable. The race
track, which was considered out of danger,
is covered to depth of three inches. All
bridges on the roads to the country, excent
two. are in water.
While there is no actual suffering in the
city, the County and surrounding country
towns are needing assistance. The Legisls-

houses have been overturned or washed
away. Three thousand peaple were driven
from nome with nothing but the clothes
they wear. The loss there must reach half
million. Generous relief, sent them from
Indianapolis, Shelbyvills, Cincinnati and
other places, has been received with un-
bounded gratitude. No loss of life yet re-
ported, but many narrow escapes. large
furniture warehouse fell in, and thirty or
forty people in the upper stories escaped
safely.
The County records have all been saved,
they having been carried to the top stories
of the Court House. The interiors of the
public buildings, in which are located a
great msjoyity OF the inhabitants, present
many peculiar, though sad and interesting
scenes. In some instances wealth and beau
ty have for their nearest neighbors the fami-
ly of the eart-driyer. All are upon a COM
mon level, and no distinction is made. In
one part of the Court House death was
claiming its victims, while in another new
lives were being ushered into the world. 1t
is said upon good authority that no less than
fifteen babies have been born in the different
public buildings since the inundation be-
gan. The reports of the condition of the people
have not been exaggerated. In fact, the half
has not been told. The entire city, with a
population of some 5000, are in want and at
the mercy of the public. Distress extends
from one end of the city to the other.
The situation of the citizens imprisoned in
the Court House is constantly growing more
dangerous. Added to the irregularity of
the food supply and the crowded quarters is
the possibility that the Court House itself
may collapse from the undermining of its
foundation by the flood of waters. Should
that occur the loss of life will certainly be
great. The terrible anxiety of mind that
many of those imprisoned in the Court
House experience is partly indicated by the
facts published in the papers, but their dis
tress is aggravated by other facts that it is
impossible to name. Every hour that the
rescue of these people is delayed increases
the horror of their situation. The fall OF
buildings in various places clearly indi-
Gates that such fate may await the Law
renceburg Court House, and there is even
more danger of this occurring while the
waters are subsldiDg than while they are
rising.
