CINCINNATI. Feb. 25,-At all river
points from Pittsburg to Marysville the
river is falling very rapidly, and navi-
cation is being resumed. Danger is over
in all the up-river towns.
From Marysville to Cincinnati tb1
flood is at Its worst. Below Cincinnati
the tributaries are falling rapidly. and
though the river Is very full the high
tide current of twelve miles an hour is
carrying the water down very rapidly.
No loss Of life or property has been re-
ported from up river points within the
last thirty hours. Right here in Gin
cinnati and vicinity the situation is at
its worst tonight. All the railroads en-
number Of burglaries committed south
using the Eighth street station. In fact.
the railroad situation is the same as last
night. Upper Cincinnati at Pendleton
is badly flooded. At least a hundred
families are driven from their dwell
lings They are amply provided for by
organized charity. UP Mill Creek
few families have been driven from
home. Down the river at Delhi, Riv-
erside, Coal City ard Addison some of
the families have been compelled 20
abandon their homes. Newport, on the
Kentucky side of the river, suffers most
proportionately. Over 300 families have
been driven to higher ground. Large
details of police are employed day and
night giving relief. Some deliver pro-
visions to people in the second stories
of houses.
Covington Is almost unscathed.
Many families in Ludlow live over de-
luged cellars and some have been
driven from their homes. The village
OF Bromely, below Ludlow, is almost
wholly flooded. Those who have two
story houses have taken refuge upstairs
and have to receive food supplies from
boats.
It is probable within the facts to say
that along the Cincinnati front on both
sides of the river 200 families have been
driven from their homes and as many
more compelled to live over flooded cell
lars.
At 8 o'clock tonight the stage here was
so feet S% inches. having risen half an
inch in the last hour. This rate may be
kept up for more than two hours, when
the maximum will be reached. When
the recession begins 1t will be more rapid
than the rise
It may be expected that tomorrow
night or Saturday morning navigation
will be resumed at Cincinnati and all
other points, as by that time the stage
Of water will be such that steamers may
pass under the bridges.
