Heavy Damages From Floods Wind
Blowing Almost a Hurricane.
CINCINNATI, February 26th.- The rainfall
along the Ohio valley has been enormous the
past few days. The Kanawha, Scioto, Hooking,
MuskiDgum and the two Miamis keep the river
bed full, and a rise is coming from the head
waters. A flood seems inevitable its propor-
tions being dependent on the weather of the
next few days. AT Hamilton Ohio, last night
the water was higher than for ten years past
The rainfall Is attended by high wind at many
places.
At Keathley, Tenn, the bank building of
Winslow " Beard was blown down. Thirty-five
persons we're in the building. Six were seri-
ously injured, none fatally.
At Marion. Ky, there was a severe wind
storm. The Court house was unroofed and rec
ords damaged. Several other buildings. includ-
ing the opera house, were unroofed. Mrs. Bells
was badly injured by the falling of timbers.
An enormous landslide occurred along the bank
Of the Ohio river, opposite Lawrenceburg, Ind,
causing great wave on the opposite bank.
CINCINNATI, February 26th.-At 10 o'clock to-
night the Ohio river is at point just fifty two
feet above the low water mark and is still ris-
ing at the rate of two inches per hour The
sky is overcast and threatening, but the tenn
perature is falling materially, and the Signal
Service here say that colder weather is ex-
pected before morning. Should it come it
would check the rise materially. If heavy rain
should set in along the valley before morning,
and continue during the day, it would cause a
dangerous food. Present Indications under
present conditions are that the rise will not be
over fftyfive or six feet. Navigation is sus-
pended, because boats cannot pass un-
der the bridges. and also because the landings
are covered with water. The back water up
Mil creek has inundated few gardens, bu it
comes too early in the season to damage them
much.
