THE FLOODS AT CINCINNATI.



RCINCINNATI, Feb. 14.-At | o'clock
this morning people in the vicinity of
No 80 Wilstach street, on the border of
the inundated district, in the western
part of the city, were startled by loud
explosion which broke the glass in the
windows. The three story brick occu-
pied by four families, No. 81 Wilstach
street, was found in ruins from an ex-
plosion of fire damp or sewer gas in the
cellar and all the people were buried
in the debris. A scene of terror followed.
1t was supposed the explosion was
caused by the pressure of water in the
sewer, and people thought another eX-
ploSion would follow. Many left their
homes in the utmost alarm, and fled
thinly clad to places of safety. A fire
alarm was turned in, which added to
the CONSERVATION, and the fire depart
ment responded promptly. Finding no
fire, they began the work of rescuing
the unfortunate victims. This was
slow work. The house was owned by
Jacob Brown, who with his wife, two
sons and two daughters occupied the
first floor.
THE OCCUPANTS.
Officer Macke special policeman at
Fourth and Vine streets, knows as
king William" occupied the front
room of the second floor, with his wife.
The back part of the same story was
occupied by w. T. Miller, wife and two
children. The third was occupied by
VIM. Hanlon and two twin daughters
two years old. BY a. nj. all the oc-
cupants had been taken out Officer
Macke and wife and 2.year-old daugh-
ter, and Mr.. Miller, were dead. John
and Henry Brown and Robert Rocka-
man, u neighbor, who were in the
house at the time, are so badly injured
that they can hardly recover. Jacob
Brown and wife were rescued after
several hours labor, severely but not
dangerously hurt. His daughters are
comparatively unhurt. Mr. Miller was
badly injured. All the rest of his fam
lily, except child named Olive, es-
capped with small injuries. Hanlon and
family also escaped with small injuries.
The Brown boys and Rockaman were
building n raft and wanted lumber in
the cellar. They went for it with n
candle when the gas or damp exploded.
The adjoining house was injured by
the explosion.

FROM CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 15.-The Masonic
fraternity here sent to Cincinnati
eleven skiffs last night and a life saving
crew of eight men, who volunteered,
and large life boat, This afternoon
and tomorrow they will send, il
needed, five large yawls, with one ex-
pert scull3r to man each, all to be
under the direction of Cincinnati Ma
sonic Relief association, but not
specially for assistance to the fraternity,
as only very few, if any, Masons there
are in distress. The boats and men
are for general service in rescuing
persons and property. The Cleveland
and Columbus railway furnishes trans
portation free.

The weather is very warm and cloudy
with occasional sunshine. The river
iluctuates apparently, but stands about
sixty-siX feet three inches. The flood
in the Licking and other streams j,
expected il not to swell the stream here
at least to check its fall. The only
important change in the railroad
situation is the transfer of trains of the
Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore
from the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton to its own track, and making
the stock yards station. This is three
miles from the depot, and can be
reached by omnibus, which must &C
through water a portion of the way,
The damage to the Cincinnati, Hamil-
on and Muncie road lies in the limits
caused by the sudden rise in the creek
and its branches caused by yesterday
rains. The track is washed out and
the bridge at Cumminsville is in danger
Trains on the Pan Handle have again
changed their route, starting from the
stock yards station going thence by
the Cincinnati, Washington and Balti
more road to Loveland, where theil
own track is reached.
Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1883-02-22

A large quantity of eastern mail was
sent out this way to-day. Considerable
western mail was also sent from the
stock yards TO Columbus and thence
west. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad has arranged to send
trains from the stock yards station
reaching its own track at Winton
Place. They have repaired the washout
and secured 4 bridge so that. they eX-
pect to leave tonight from their own
depot, but this must be uncertain unless
the water falls. None of these lines
receive or forward freight, but the
express companies can receive such
freight as is offered, The river has
been &C feet q inches since 10 o'clock
this morning. .', "'.
This shows that there has been no
rise since morning and gives hope that
there may be no further rise. The
work of relief goes on with ferries.
Not only is the general committee rep
resentins the chamber of commerce
and the-common council disbursing aid
with n liberal hand, but the Masonic
relief organization is doing fine work,
A meeting called ON volunteers to act
as oarsmen for their boats which have
