THE RIVER.
1t Came TO Stand at Three O'Clock
Yesterday Afternoon.

The river came to a stand at three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, with thirty
three feet, one inch in the channel. IT
remained stationary for about a couple
of hours, and then began TO recede
slowly. The rise was very gradual up
to three o'clock, the last four hours,
from eleven o'clock to three. showing a
rise of'but about an inch an IA half. Tel
egramS last night showed it was falling
as far down as Parkersburg,
The water stopped at just about the
right place. a rise of two or three feet
additional would have put great
many people to inconvenience, and
would have OccaSiOned some loss. As IL
was. the water invaded the streets at
several points. one locality being at the
corner of Main and Twenty-seventh
streets. and another South Front street,
Just above StonetOwn. The old Fair
Grounds addition was partly covered
with water, and quite large proper
tion Of the area of the new Fair Grounds
was submerged to a depth OF from a
few inches to foot or two. No actual
loss was done. however.
At the creek the water at 3 o'clock
was but about two feet below the tenn
porary bridge over the creek at Main
street. aod had there been little more
water the structure would have been
flooded and might have been carried
away. The water also lacked but about
two feet Of touching the timberS of the
"Pewiky" railroad bridges across the
creek, while the iron work of the super
structure of the B. Il o. bridge leading
TO the freight house was foot or so In
the water. All the bottom lands up and
down the stream were under water, and
out the creek the low-lying fields We're
submerged. The river current was
very swift and steamboats, had 4 tough
time in making headway against it, cs-
pecially when encumbercd with tOws.
Considerable drift passed down stream
on Sunday night. and as usual large
proportion Of it lodges in the low
grounds north Of the Island approach
to the suspension bridge. Supcrintend-
ent Lawson. of the Bridge Company,
put force of men To work towing the
rubbish out. and during the afternoon
and last evening most of the drift had
gone.
The water covered the track of the c.
x p. road, at West Wheeling toa depth
Of about two feet. and no trains ran to
Bcllairc during the day.
by this morning the water will have
dropped several feet

PASSED DANGER.
THE WATERS OF THE SWOLLEN RIVERS
SLOWLY RECEDING.
Active Preparations for Removing Goods from
Cellars at Cncinnat-The Situation al
Pittsburg, Charleston and Other
Places-The Flood Declared Of.

CINCINNATI, March 94.-At ten o'clock
this morning the Ohio river measured
"a feet 10 inches, and rising two inches
an hour. With no more rain a 6O-foot
river seems inevitable, but with the
cloudy sky and mild temperature the
outlook for more rain puts a most Sc
riouS aspect on affairs along this mighty
stream. Within an hour it will have
passed the extreme point OF the flood Of
few weeks ago The river is rising at
all points below PittSburg. There is a
mOdicum OF satisfaction in the fact that
the kanawha river is falling both at
Hinton and Charleston, but the Little
Kanawha river is higher than ever
known. Here the most active work is
in progress TO remove goods from the
narrow strip Of the river which is sub
icct to overflow. Cellars have already
been vacated and first floors in many
houses will soon be invaded by the
flood. The experience of 1888, when
the river reached 60 feet 1 inches,
and in 1854. when the highest
flood ever known measured II feet
thrcc-quartcrS of an inch, shows that
very little damage may be expected to
brick and stone structures in Cincin-
natl. The few that crumbled then have
been replaced by more substantial fOun-
dationS. OF course all wooden buildings
must float, but there are comparatively
few of these within the flood terri
tory. Many families in the tenement
houses and cottages along the river
front will be compelled to go into the
upper stories or vacate their quarters
entirely. All the railroads. except the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Kentucky
Central have been compelled to abandon
the Central Union Depot. and to estab.
liSh temporary depotS at points which
can be reached. Mill Creek Valley is
again lake. and for the
second time the gardeners find their
spring work destroyed by the water.
Railroad freight traffic is greatly inter
ruptcd. and on some roads must cease
to-day within the city limits. Express
goods will be carried, however, so long
as trains can get within hauling dis
tanccS. In 1881 the nearest depot from
the north was Ludlow Grove and Ches-
ter Park, which points were reached by
canal boats. 1t is not expected that
such an arrangement will be necessary
this time. but it all depends upon the
amount of rainfall within the next few
days. Covington and Newport are cut
of from the city as far as street ear
traffic is concerned. The ferries are
also obliged to stop. because they can
not find landing points.
The casualty list began to be made
up yesterday, when two men and a boy
were drowned back Of Covingt0n by the
capSizing of a SkiiT. They were John
Burk, Peter McGinniS and William
Kinney.
Newport suffers more than any other
suburb by floods. Quite a large dis
trict is already flooded and residents are
compelled to vacatc their houses.

Defence to BE Made I'm Secret.
New YORK, March 24.-Thc third
week Of the McCalla Court of Inquiry
was commenced to-day. Commander
McCalla made many corrections in the
testimony he gave on Saturday. Then
Lieutenant lngerSoll was called. lie
was asked: Did Commander McCalla
personally inspect the Enterprise on
Thursday"
The witness answered in the affirma-
tive. The witness was also asked II
there was any official record OF the pun
iShmentS or confinement; the tracing M
Of the men to the Jacobs Ladder, and
placing the men in the coal bunkerS.
Mr.. IngerSoll said that he knew OF nc
such record. lie was then shown a lisl
Of puniShmentS that had been inflicted
during the cruise and he recognized 1t.
Ships writer j. II. Dorley said that
at CronStadt, where many of the crew
were confined for drunkenness, all the
men ironed and placed on the quarter
deck were released at one o'clock in the
morning.
Mr.. Menzies then offered in evidence
4 record of the John II. Preasy, alias
John Walker, who was convicted al
Washington for incorrigibility and com
mitted to the house Of refuge. The re-
cord of Walkers conviction for assault
in 1885. and for an assault on Mrs
Annie Walker was also read along with
other charges. DIR. c. c. Herndon testified
that no man suffered in health during
the cruise from confinement in STRAIT
jacket.
The court then said that any argu,
ment the defense wanted to make would
have to be made in secret. The court
will in future conduct the proceedings
in secret session.

Latest From CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, o., March eff there
was any apprehension of great food
here during to-day, it has all been disSi-
pated tonight. Had the rains been as
heavy on the north side as on the south
side Of the Ohio. the flood
would have exceeded that of 1854.
But the tributaries north Of the
Ohio have not risen so as to occasion
remark. over and above all this the
sky here is clear except in the West at
eight o'clock and the wires bring news
of stationary or falling river in the
Ohio and all its tributaries from Ports
mouth up.
At Huntington. w. Va. just above the
mouth of Big Sandy. the Ohio has fallen
a foot. If there is no heavy rain in the
Ohio Valley within forty-cight hours the
river at Cincinnati will not go beyond
GO feet inches. and there is good
chance tonight for it to stop short of 60
feet

THE GERMAN SITUATION.
Count KalnoIsy Suggests a Conference of
the Monarchs.

VIENNA. March 2l.-It is reported
here that Count kalnoky, the Imperial
Prime Minister. has suggested that
conference be- held between Emperor
William. Emperor Francis Joseph and
King Uumbcrt. aS the only means Of al
laying the anxiety in Austria and Italy
in regard To the situation arising from
Bismarck resignation.
1t is hoped that Emperor William will
agree 10 attend such conference. and
that he will bring with him Gen. Ca
