cidsdly
tor ig' I tisn during tie day. In addition
TO The reports of a contiguous rise at points
shove the rain has been falling
since four o'clock. II is not
heavy but persisted enough TO indicate an
all night rain. The same conditisn exists
at Maysyille, sixty miles narth. The rain,

cided il tluence in the stage OF water here,
as the side streams will Oe pouring In ad-
ditional floods. People here have lost con-
fdence in the representations in the sig

temperature rose and the second time
there wss a slight fall, followed by rain.

miles above Cincinnati, and now the flood
Is pouring IN irom the Kanawha river.

treme care and ingenuity the gas company
has managed to keep the gas supply up till

operating room are supplied with candles
The theatres are running with electric and
csIcinm ights The warning had been
Sivpn so long that the absence OF gas IS
