THE OOMiN6 GUILD WAVE
The most assuring sign to be seen to-
day is the white flag with black center
floating from the top Of Pixies Oper<
house building from the Signal Service
office, announcing the coming of cold
weather. This is the first time the signal
has been used, and could never have been
more welcome. So long as the weather
remains mild the little streams would con-
tinue feeding the food and prolong the
high water 4 freeze will put check on
the sources and hasten the fall. 1t is now
thought the river will continue to rise
here until Saturday or Sunday, and il no
more rains comes, will then fall rapidly.
The view from the suspension bridge this
morning is not cheering. All along the
Covington front to the Licking river is
entirely submerged, the water being in
the second story of the dwellings. New
lake, with a few dwellings peeping
out like small islands. The Bridge
Company tries TO furnish transportation
across the water on the Cincinnati side,
but it's single boat is entirely inadequate
to the demand, and a large number of
small craft are engaged in ferrying for five
cents passenger, and earning a rich re-
ward The whols lower part of the city,
from Second street to the river front, is
covered with boats to-day, employed for
pstrol.ing and relief. The Common Coun-
Gil has decided to ask authority TO loan
100000 to the relief fund. Ten school
houses have been closed in the submerged
or near the submerged parts OF the city,
and placed at the disposal Of the Relief
Committee for the accommodation OF poo
pie driven from their homes in Coyington.
To. day Relief Committee has been or
sanized, and the Legislature viii be asked
not 10 collect this years taxes III the
flooded districts. No loss OF life and no
great destruction to property has yet
occurred. The story of loss OF life at
Marietta, O., is not credited, but the wires
are all down to that point. The river Is
rising sill but more slowly. In thirteen
hours since midaight the rise has been
only eight inches. fhe accord at O'Clock
pm. is sixty-one feet eight incnes. Prepar-
ations have been made for doing without
gas tonight. brisk trade in coal oil,
lamps and candles is going on. People
still contemplate ar even greater rise than
last year, bat without alarm. 1t is estl-
mated that the losses from Overflow will
not be more than ten per cent. as much IS
last Sesr, owing to better care 10 prevent
losses.
IL OClock P.M-The weather is becom-
ing cooler, but there has oecp no decided
change yet. a light drizzling rain has
been falling portions of the day, and to-
night the wind is from the northeast. The
river continues to rise slowly, standing
sixty-one feet ten inches at 10 o'clock, a
rise of half an inch Ia the last hour.
Contrary 70 the general expectation, gas
is burning tonight, and there is hope that
the supply may not be cut off all. This,
however, depends on the future
risse being very slight. There is
much speculation to-day over what
is tn come, and opinions vary. The
Ohio trains have been abandoned. River
