CINCINNATI, o.. Feb. 10.-The rIyer 10
rapidly rising at oil points above Cln-

snow and continued rain OF Thursday
caused the waters to climb up the

will swell beyond the danger line. Be-
tween 8 to 5 o'clock this morning there
was, according to the waterworks' reg
ister, but three inches, while in the
next two hours tho depth increased
just twelve inches. The danger line is
placed 1t fifty feet, although st fifty
feet much damage 10 usually sustained.
