THE great foods at Cincinnati rise
higher and higher and the scenes
about the city are heartrending in
the extreme, and direful disaster is
reported. The freight depot Of the
Cincinnati Southern railroad was un.
dermined and fell into the surround
ing water, carrying with it twenty.
five or more people. The depot was
a one story frame structure resting OH
Mclean avenue, which was almost
covered by water. Both sides fell
into the water thirty TO fifty feet
deep. The earth has been so soaked
as to melt, and the catastrophe was
further FASTENED by the breaking of
q sewer which sent q current along
the bank. Crowds OF people have
been in that vicinity looking ut the
floods, and 1t is SUPPOSED many of
these are victims. Heavy rains are
reported, the Ohio is still on the rise,
and that further disaster may resul,
is feared. Portions Of the city j.
inundated, and with the rising cur
rent there is every reason Ia believe
that the worst has not Yet been
reached Soup houses have been
OPENED in various parts al lht CITY /"

op Elder has ordered all the Catholic
churches thrown open to accOininu-

To the churches asking ontiihutiuns
10 lie sent 10 the chamber of com
nerce and city council relief commit
tee. The sinking fund trustees will
advance money on the city bonds
authorized by the legislature, SO that
relief will he promot. Many cases of
extreme restitution are reported, and
in some cases the frantic cries of
starving children for food are heart
rending. The avenues not inundated
are pressed to their fullest capacity
to keep "a supply Of bread. There
have been some fears Of a meat
famine on account of the difficulty of
receiving live stock, but several thou.
sand reserved distillery cattle can be
utilized in case of necessity.

The Great Comet.

Itseems, after all, that the great COM
ct of 1882 is not going to return next
year or the year after and fall into the
sun, but will take some 793 years be-
fore 1t is again visible from this "dim
speck called Earth" 1t has been found
that this Is the same comet which ap-
peared 81 b. C. and 1853 A. D. This
last, it will be remembered, gave sig
nificance, in that superstitious period
to the death Of Constantine the Great.
All this is upon the authority of Prof
Fisby, Of the Naval Observatory, but he
does not explain why this great Comet
has failed to he recognized since the
death of Constantine. From Demores,'s
