Bill there are no casualties to report In
Cincinnati, excspt two disreputgble women
who were carousing In q boat In the lower
part OF the CITY yesterday and iell into The

eiIft to save them. The increased stage Of
the water has no effect to change tho railroad
situation beyond what WAS noted last hight
cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton trains car
reach their depot until the water reaches o.
feet, and then can land passengers at tht
stock yards, three miies out.

Last YEARS STAGE PAs1D uer
The day has been one Of the greatest ex.
element since the lood. The stage OF high
wafer OF last year was passed at I'm. R..
ports Of general rains at every place where 1t
would run into the oaio made i: certain that
q still more dangerous food would bo upon
the already unfortunate people OF the Ohio
Valley. The experience OF last year made
the people bold in confronting danger they
had once met and overcome, but whe q new
element Of terror comes in from the height.

with careful use, but Quo big fife would make
