CINCINNATI, February 20-rhe flood Of

aud The river has been rising almost con-
stantly all day. There Ia hardly shadow
Of doubt that the mark Of last year will DO
reached and passed in the next ten houls.
At ST. NJ. the prospects, decidedly !rdi.
cate more rapid rise tonight than during
the day. In addition TO the reports OF con-
tiuuous rise at points above, rain has been
falling since i O'clock. 1t is no. heavy but
persistent. Tho same condition exists ut
Marysville, sixty miles north. The ,aiu,
II 1t continues al night, will exert u decid.
cd ,iuiluenco in tho stage oil water here, aB
side streams will be pouring additional
| floods.
Tho people hero have lost confidence IN
the Representations Of thb Signal Service.
TwiGe the flag has been rirsou TO denote 3
cold wave coming; the first time the tenn
perature rose, and the Eccond time there
was slight fall, followed BY yain The
prediction that the river would reach The
maximum hero today alsl fails. The
maximum has not been reached two hun
dred miles above Cincinnati, and now the
flood is pouring in from tho kanawha
river. The arrival Of lha highest water
here must now be postponed several days.
HOW THE CITY is LIGHTED.
BY extreme care and ingenuity the gas
company managed to keep tho gas supply
up till tonight. Now the street lamps arc
only here and there, and the gas is burn
ing in but few places. The tables in the
Western Uuionsoperstives' room are sop
piled With caudlep. The theatrsa arr run
ming With oleGtIiclights and calcium lights,
and come by private gas machines. Warn

Of tNs is scarcely felt. A,sMusic iall q two.
inch pipe is suspended on tecstlo leading
from tho hospital across to Music Hall 10
supply this latter with gas manufactured
by the hospital, This gives the 0per1 Fcs-
tival, which begins tonight, its original
supply OF gas. Oh the outside OF the ball,
electric iigbta will be used.
The number OF rsse9 needing relief in.
creases with each days continuance eli the
flood, but Cincinnati il determined 10 lake
care Of her own people. Many people will
send contributions hero. III anticipation
Of this being done, tho reiict committee
has authorized tho following:
