THE OHIO RISING.

Threatens Cincinnati and Adjacent
Communities.

The River, Swollen by Heavy Rains,
Threatens Cincinnati and Adjacent
Communities.
CINCINNATI, Feb 16.-As was feared,
the heavy rains of the past few days
caused continuance in the rise of the
Ohio river at this point At 10 o'clock
last night it was ffty-four feet.
Already much damage has been done.
Mill Creek Valley as far out as Cummins
vile is vast lake, and hundreds of
houses. barns and other buildings are
inundated.
Many families have been driven from
home. The spring crops of the garden
ers in this territory are totally destroyed.
The sinking Of the Cincinnati wharf
boat, which occurred early yesterday
morning has been the most serious loss
along the river front thus far.
The high water is beginning to be felt
in the vicinity of the Central passenger
station. At Mill street the tracks which
must be traversed by trains entering the
station are covered with water which is
fully foot deep. At the present rate il
will not be long before the rising waters
will seriously interfere with the entrance
of trains at the Central station. Fifty
six feet is the limit, and should this be
reached, as it is expected, trains on the
Big Four, Ohio and Mississippi B. & o.,
and other roads, will not be able to enter.

Colonel ]. P. Howell said that during
the four years and a half he had fought
for the Union he had never witnessed a
greater intensity of feeling manifested
than there was here when the telegram
was received from the governor ordering
gatling gun to Topeka
He thought the time for action has
arrived when Speaker Douglass should
be given to understand that he would
be upheld, that If the rights of the
Republican House were suffered to be
trampled under foot the veterans around
had shed their blood for naught thirty
years ago and that the governor and his
followers must at once be compelled to
recognize the legal house or be declared
traitors and take the consequence Of q
civil war which their refusal would pre-
cipitate.
Representatives Of the Sons OF

that organization to defend the Repub

train which carried the militia to Topeka,

ever since the order was received from
Topeka, calling out the militia, and
meetings Of citizens and semi militia
organizations have been held at short in
tervals, at all of which resolutions were
passed condemnatory of the state admins
tration and pledging all the aid called for
by the Republicans.
Last night Garfield Post, G. A. R. held
an open meeting which was attended by
hosts of citizens, aad at which the fol.
lowing resolutions were adoped amid the
widest enthusiasm:
Whereas, T. D. Lewelling, as COVER
nor of the state of Kansas, has violated
the constitution of our state by aiding
an illegal body of men to usurp the
powers of the House of Representatives
and In furtherance Of such usurpatior
has called the militia, of the state to his
his assistance, therefore be it
Resolved. That, as old soldiers anc
citizens of the city Of Wichita, we offel
our assistance to George L. Douglass

FOR A FREE LIBRARY.

-Four Committees In Joint Session Con-
slider the Institutes Transfer TO City
Council.
-Four committees upon the free library
question held a meeting in the Whining
ton Institute yesterday
A plan for establishing free library
was submitted with the approval OF the
Institute directors IL contemplates
asking the Legislature to empower
Council TO pay for the support Of the
library 2 cents on every 800 OF taxable
property annually, upon the condition
that the library be made free TO all citi-
zens Of Wilmington; and further, that
the superintendent Of schools aud three
persons. designated by the Board Of
Education, be made directors Of the
library.
The plan was favorably discussed A
committee comprising William p Ban
croft, Isaac 7. Johnson, Daniel Ross and
S. Redmond Smith was appointed to con-
slider the plan.
One point in the plan is not entirely
satisfactory. That is the manner In
which the city should be assured that
the library would remain free. This
arises from the fact that not all the
stockholders Of the library have given
their consent to transfer tho property to

To-day the Celestiais' New Year.

To. day is Chinese New Years Dayg
Last year it occurred a week earlier,

because the new year is regulated by the
phases Of the moon, the new moon being
the first Of the Chinese month and the
full moon being the middle The O hinese
months have only thirty and twenty nine
days and no month has thirty-one days.
This year according TO Chinese calcula-
tions, will have thirteen months and 50
with every third year from now on; that
is, 1926 and 1899 will have thirteen
months. Il will be sixty years before
the New Year will fall on February l6
again. This year, 1898, is the year
nineteen with the Chinese, dating
from the reign Of the present
emperor. The festivities in celebration
Of the New Year began at o'clock this
morning and lasted until daybreak All
the Chinese burned their joss sticks, and
many will take part in the exercises in
Philadelphia joss houses. In China the
festivities last a month. and nearly
everybody takes a holiday for that
