CIs ISSArI, February l2-The situation
to-day has been more gloomy than ever.
The river rose almost constantly from half
an inch to one inch per hour and was grow
ing from two 10 three feet above the high
est stage of last year. This is fact OF great
significance and loses no weight by the un'
certainty when the rise will end. Slgnih.

building vas weighted with aquanti'y Of
hemp, which aided in causing the destruc-
ton. This is n y a De. inning. There Is
much apprehension on this account IN

of the soil makes the danger greater. As tle

determination to disburse all contributions
from abroad among the sufferers outside OF
Cincinnati.
Tonight had a frightful beginning by
the reason of a high wind, which threat
ened for q time to be gale. But though
strong it was not steady enough 10 Start
the waves so as TO do any great damage SO
far as is known now. There is grea. dan
ger, however, that the agitation OF the
water by the wind will loosen the houses
from their foundations. Several more
houses in Newport have left their founia-
tions and some have tumbled over. FJr-
turately all were deserted beforehand.
The occupants of water bornt houses

beating rain tonight with a feeling Of al
most hopeless helplessness. The news
from more exposed places, like New Rtcl-
mond, Ohio, and Lawrenceburg, Ind, 3
awaited with dread. Reports received to.
night from Newport on this p)int are re-
assuring. The Mssons Of this city have
found it necessary to take decisive action
and issue the following appeal:
To the Mssons of the United States: Tde
Masons of Cincinnati represent that q CT.

miles, and that not only Masons in great
numbers but thousands of men, wonesz

called on to relieve their distress. Ii any
Masonic body desires TO contribute 10 this
notle purpose remittancss may be sent to
the Masonic Flood Committee, Masonic
Temple, Cincinnati.
All the Masonic bodies in the city meet
tomorrow to perfect arrangements for sys-
ten atizing relief.
The river is now 60 feet and rising half
an inch an hour. 1t is raining hard.
