feet four inches from the highest point. 1t
is almost impossible to find men enough
to do the necessary cleaning, but an air of
business begins to be felt wherever water
has subsidized. The gas works resumed opera
tions this afternoon and the city is now sup
piled with Gas. The militia has been re-
Eeved from duty as night patrol. Rail-
roads are all running from
own depots except Cincinnati, Wash

Knocked out by q floating saw mill. A
fall of two feet VIII enable repairs to be
made. The relief committee explain that
their address to the public yesterday was
only intended to check contributions from
abroad. They did not mean that no more
was needed here-they want Cincinnati to
help herself The purpose of the COM
mittee is to use all aid from abroad Civ
ing help TO other cities and towns along
the river The receipts to-day are little
over s.. 5000. not including $4,000 sent from
New York relief committee. Relief has
been given as follows: $4,000, Newport,
KY: $4,000 Drayton, KY; $4,000, Law
renceburg, Ind. $500, Guayandotte, WA;
$3.50. Belleville, Ky. Relief work is &C
lively being given by local organizations,
known as relief union and assistance
charities.
A systematic effort is being made by the
Commercial Gazette to ascertain the losses
by the flood in Cincinnati. The difficulties
are too great to enable it to reach any
thing like an accurate result. The largest
actual loss is that of the gas company,
100000. besides the loss of a weeks bust
ness. The loss of the coal interest
is 100000, that of the city
from broken culverts, sewer
drains sidewalks $4,000. The railroads
actual and indirect loss is near half mil
lion. Personal losses so far as gathered
amount to hundreds of thousands, but
nothing like a complete estimate can be
made. A Lebanon. Ohio, special says:

the charge of numbering Father ODonag-

INDIANA FLOOD SUFFERERS.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19.-The relief com
lnittee at New Albany have issued the fol-
lowing address:
NEW ALBANY, Ind, Feb. 19.-As an
evidence of the state of things in
the flooded district at New Albany we pub
fish the following address TO citizens of that
place:
To the Citizens of New Albany: The
citizens relief committee urgently appeal
to you to come forward with money, cloth
ing and other supplies for the relief OF our
afflicted and suffering people. The situa-
ton is becoming grayer and more distress
ing every hour. Thousands of our friends,
neighbors, workmen. fellow-cjtizens, with
their wives and little ones are without fur
niture, clothing and food. The manufac-
lures, shops and railways are under water.
Employment Is not to be obtained and
wages have ceased. The season Is inclem-
ent and there is danger that the present
unhappy affairs may continue for weeks to
come. Delay IN a1fOrding assistance Is
cruel and unjustiiable. The necessity for
greater and more earnest exertiOns on our
part is apparent. If generous responses
to the call for help had not been made
by our state legislature, by othe cities,
within and without the state, and by
noble hearted men and women all over the
land. these contributions would be wholly
insufficient 10 apply to the pressing wants
of the thousands who must be sheltered,
warmed, clothed and fed daily. Every
consideration of religion, humanity, honor
and local pride require that we shall exert
ourselves to the very utmost of our ability
to care for, protect and provide for our
own people, and these efforts shall not be
relaxed until all occasion for them shall
cease. Money, clothing, beds, bed clothes,
furniture, stoves, cooking utensils and the
like are greatly needed. Let all give-the
old and young, the rich and the poor-ac-
cording to their ability. If the great ca
lamity which has darkened so many homes
and hearts has not Injured you, or has
touched you but lightly, help in some
measure at least to Tighten the burdens
and mitigate the suferings of your less
fortunate neighbors and fellow citizens
who have lost. By order of citizens relief
committee.
Signed W. G. DEpAw, Chairman.
j. NJ. MITCHELL, Secretary.

the river is forty feet at the head of the
canal, and sixty-six feet in the channel at
the foot of the canal. A test made this
evening shows the food exceeded that of
1882 by three feet three inches by well at
tested gauge marks. Several freight
trains passed over the bridge to-day. The
steamer Transit has been on guard duty at
the bridge since the flood began, but has
been relieved. The weather is clear and
pleasant No need for gas on the streets.
The gas company has been pumping out
the mains all day. 1t will probably sup
