SHOOTING AT STEAM MeoaTS.
Emphatic Protests of Threatened
People Against More Danger.

WHEELING, W. Va, February 20.-The
flood in the Ohio at this point, has reached
the 46-foot mark, and the suffering and priva-
tion are becoming intense. Those confined
in the upper stories of their houses are al
m ,st out of food. and many are suffering
from cold. Reports from the head waters
lead to the belief that further rising of the
river is possible. Residents along the low
la ds have taken aggressive measures to
make steamboating unpopular, as the waves
from the steamers wheels often 0verturn
submerged houses or sweep them from their
foundations. As the Ben Hur came past the
lower end of the city yesterday, the resi-
dents In these houses fired number of shots
at the boat, and made several holes in the
woodwork of the pilot house. One bullet
passed through the hat of the pilot, soaring
him so as to render him unable to steer the
boat for few minutes. The officers of the
boat will make no further effort to run until
the water goes down. The Hawk steamed
up little later, and received the same re-
ception at Moundsville. though none of the
shots took effect. The damage at this point
alone is estimated at 81 900 600
