The Flood mt Ironton
IRoNToN, Ohio, Feb. S.-The river is
still rising two inches on hour. All
West Ironton is under water. III most
of the villages along the Ohio river the
people have left their houses and gone
to the highlands. Great distress is re-
ported.
The River Stiil Rising.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. S.-The river
at 6 O'Clock was 81 feet 10Y inches; at 0
o'clock 63 feet, having risen half an inch
in an hour. Relief work continues. The
militia are on duty tonight assisting the
police. The gas is still burning but it is
not expected TO continue till morning.
a Gloomy Outlook Mt Cincinnati.
CINcINNATI, Feb. S.-The day has
been one of anxious suspense and con.
stant speculation as to the continuance OF
the rise The average during the day
has been slightly over half an inch an
hour. The weather has been. cloudy,
with occasional drizzling showers. All
eyes are turned, of course, up the river.
There the prospects are not encouraging.
| 1t is true the fall is pronounced at Pitts
burgh, and actual, though slow, at
| Wheeling and thence downward. No
further news can be had until Gellopolis
is reached, 200 miles above Cincin
natl. There is still no communi.
cation from ParlSersburg or Marietta.
The news from GAINESVILLE, however,
is that the Muskingum river is Mt an
unprecedented height and still rising,
which showed that the chance for fall
at Marietta would be small, for the Mus
kingum enters the Ohio at that point.
At Gallopolis, at 80 P. NJ, the river
had risen ten inches above the high
water mark OF last year, and was still
rising at the rate of about four iuches an
hour. A general rain ha, been falling
along the W, st side of the mount iils, and
Chattanooga reports four inches OF rain
fall in the past thirty-six hours in East
Tennessee, and coming further down the
river. Castlettsburg Kentucky, at noon,
reports heavy rain aud says the storm is
general. This makes the Big Sandy an
other feeder OF the Ohio at this point.
| These facts in'licate that the fall cannot
be rapid and, at the Test, the fall cannot
reach Cincinnati before Monday or Tues
day next. With the present rate that
will bring the water above last years
| food. This estimate is based on con-
| iinuance of the present weather, The
prospect of cold weather has gone and
there is II greater probability of more
rain.
The Ohio SLOWLY Rising.
LOUISVILLE, Feb. S.-The feeling all
day has been one of relief, as it was
thought the flood can do no further dam
age. The outlook is not so favorable as
at noon. Since then the weather has
been moderating, and tonight it is rain
ing slightly. The river has been rising
since noon; about quarter of an inch an
hour at 10 tonight.
The Maumee Higher than Last
Year.
TOLEDO, Feb S.-The latest advices
from towns along the river above the
city are that the water has passed the
highest point reached last year,
