Sixty-Five Feet Four Inches at Cincinnati,
and Rising at Points Above.
Special to the indianapolis Journal,
CINCINNATI, Feb 10-11 p. M.-The situation
here tonight is extremely critical Reports just
received state that the river is still rising at all
points above, and rain is falling The food of
last year will be equaled, and perhaps two or
three feet more. At IL o'clock the water stood
sixty-fv feet four inches, just one foot below
the flood line last year, and rising on an average
of three fourths of an inch an hour A water
famine is expected here, as reports from the
water works state that the Shields engine is
likely to stop at any moment and the reservoirs
have only five days supply The gas is out
tonight and the militia are parading the
streets The whole town is thoroughly excited
over the gloomy condition of affairs,
MIDNIGHT.-The stage of the river is sixty
five feet four and a quarter inches. A brisk
rain is falling The water-works department
will order all the hydraulic elevators stopped to-
morrow. The big Shields pumping-engine is
the only one that can work at this stage of the
food and sixty-six feet ten inches will stop it.
The reservoir has a i've days supply of water
in it.
A. M-River sixty-fve feet ive and one quar-
ter inches and rising steadily half an inch hour
ly. The water now lacks ten and three-fourths
inches of the great rise of last year The clouds
are very threatening.

ceding Very Slowly.
WHEELING, Feb. 10.-At Martins Ferry o.
200 people are fed by organized charity. Funds
are drawn from the proceeds of fines under the
Scott law. Tim McCarty, on the island, lost
So 500 in gold in house which was swept away
Many other large sums of money have been lost
There is no estimate on the total loss in this
vicinity. 1t may reach 100000, including
both sides of the river.
At West Wheeling, over the river, the boats
were prevented from landing by the inhabitants
headed by State Senator Wagner, firing on the
boats. 1t is feared the swash of the waves will
further injure the submerged buildings. The
steamer John Lewis arrived from down the
river this evening. She was riddled with bull
lets, and her passengers were lying on the
cabin floor covered with mattresses and life
preservers protection from missiles. The
boat left Parkersburg this morning. She re-
ports many houses at New Martinsvlle swept
away. The Pittsburg Stove Works and dry
houses are total loss, and not a vestige is left
of Cochranesville, O., village in Monroe county
At Moundsvilie the penitentiary ran out of
water and the citizens had to carry it. The sit
uation here among the homeless sheltered in the
school-houses, churches, and other buildings
grows worse. Not enough food can be procured
to feed them and give aid to the neighboring
towns suffering. Mayor Miller said tonight
that he hoped to avoid appealing for aid to the
country at large but he feared it would have to
be done. Clothing, food and money are badly
needed. At the glass-house in the South End
two children died to-day from exposure and in
sufficient and unfit food. The worst has not yet
begun is the sickening conclusion to which the
thoughtful are forced
The river has receded more slowly than ex-
pected, and part of the city and country above
and below is still under water, though the nhab-
tied portion is, for the most part forsaken. The
disappearance of the water only reveals the ex-
tent of the damage to property exposed to water
and ice. Huge rocks board piles, trees, drift
wood, and small shanties cover parts of many
streets, and hundreds of large houses and barns
gathered at points where the surface of the
water was INSTRUCTED by trees. Fifty houses are
jammed upon and against each other at the
south end of the city. The B. & o. track be-
tween here and Benwood was covered with build
ings and drift which were pulled to pieces
by engines to clear the track The
first mail since Wednesday, four tons,
has arrived. The boats and few
trains on the roads, least damaged have opened
communication with the outside world Every
blanket in the city has been distributed to the
homeless sufferers. There is great scarcity of
bedclothes. The country people on both sides
Of the river are doing their utmost to supply the
needy with provisions. Wagons loaded with
provisions have been arriving here and at Ben
wood, Bellaire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry,
all day, from points as far back as twenty miles
south. Probably twenty thousand people will

AURORA, Feb. 10.-The condition of affairs
here is bad enough, though nothing in compari-
son with Lawrenceburg. From four hundred to
five hundred men are out of employment, and
the stores are nearly all under water, but the
goods have been moved to high ground. Water
is in all that string of houses, mile long on the
lower side of Decatur avenue. The cattle pens
and bottling department of the brewery are sur
rounded, and also the Aurora Valley Furniture
Company The brewery is still running, but it
is the only concern in operation that employs
any considerable number of men, The rolling
mills, brick yards and saw-mills are all inun-
dated, besides hundreds of residences. All the
houses are yet on their foundations, but high
wind and foot or two more water, which is al
ready coming, will play havoc with them. The
school houses and public buildings filing up,
and in day or two more there will be much suf-
fering and distress
The railroad steamers brought hundreds of
excursionists down to see The sights here and at
Lawrenceburg to-day. There being no landing
place at Lawrenceburg, they were all forced to
come here Hundreds also came in on the A.
NJ. train from points on the Ohio & Mississippi
road.
A fire broke out in the flooded part of the city
about o'clock this afternoon, but there were
hundreds of men rowing about in boats near it,
and water being plenty, the fire WAS soon
quenched. The fire was in the business center
and had it broken out after night the whole
square would have gone. Such excitement as
reigned for little while was never before seen
in Aurora
At o'clock tonight steady rain set in, and
an unusual gloom has settled upon the city
The climax is expected within the next twenty
four hours
