At Portsmouth Alone 1900 Have Been
Forced to Seek Refuge from
the Raging Torrent.
CINCINNATI ALSO SUFFERING
WATER is NEARLY 60 FEET DEEP IN
THE CHANNEL, AND STILL RISING.
MonOngahela and Allegheny Rivers
cinity n Million and n Half Dollars.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.-At O'Clock to-
night the river here was 5s1s feet and rising
steadily 11a inches an hour. Everywhere in
the Ohio valley above here the weather is
clear and cool. Above Wheeling the river
is falling at all points. In the region of
the sources of the flood the streams have
been going down for twelve hours and the
danger is past. Not less than a $l,000,00O
loss anG damage to lumbermen and farmers
is the rough estimate for the Monongahela
valley. On the Ohio there was more or
less loss and damage to railroads all the
way down to Portsmouth. More or less
damage to some business houses was SUI
fered in Steubenville, Parkersburg, CALI
polls, Huntington, Catlettsburg, Ironton,
Hanging Rock Portsmouth, Aberdeen.
Maysville and several smaller towns either
in actual loss or the Inconvenience of NOV
ing goods Tonight in Portsmouth alone
over 1,5O0 persons have been driven from
their homes Much the same sort OF suffer
ing exists in the other cities and towns
mentioned, but Portsmouth is the greatest.
The high school, town hail. churches and
all other available buildings are used for
lodging the sufferers. and public charity
feeds them.
At Newport, KY, 80 families are driven
from their homes, but they are well shell
tered. In East Cincinnati about an equal
number of families have been temporarily
driven from their dwellings. Coney island,
an up-river summer resort is under water
deep enough to float the largest river
steamer In Ludlow, Ky, below COvington,
the grounds are deep under water. and it
is feared that the dyke that retains the
great lake will be softened so as to break
and drain the lake when the waters go
down. Backwater in Mill creek, west OF
the city has destroyed many thousand dol
lars worth of garden stuff. At Lawrence
burg. Ind, there have been fears for the
safety of the big government dyke built
since 1854 for the protection of that city
At Portsmouth washouts have stopped the
use of two railroads, the Norfolk a. West
ern and the Cincinnati, Portsmouth & Vir-
ginia- Here in Cincinnati exposed business
houses have secured themselves against
further Inconvenience.
All railroads here are running from their
depots except those using the Grand Cen
tral. and they now start from Eighth
street. IT is believed now the rise here will
not go much over sixty feet.
AT midnight the sky is clear and the
weather cool. By the water works mark
the stage of the river Is 5S feet 91h inches
hour. Coal fleets In various harborS on the
river contain about ten million bushels OF
coal. From all these the glimmer of mov-
ing lanterns shows that the force of watch
men on them has been greatly increased
But for the absence of wind there would
be apprehension of great danger TO these
fleets. At the present rate of rise the river
here will reach sixty feet by 10 O'Clock
Thursday forenoon.

the accident is near a cut on the main line
of the railroad, the tracks make a sharp
curve just east of the point where the pike
crosses. The engineer states that as the
train emerged from the cut ii was moving
at about thirty-five miles an hour. AS the
engine turned the curve he saw the wagon
loaded with people and sounded his whistle
repeatedly. The bell was also ringing 10y

was close to the crossing when he first saw
It, the young man who was driving seemed
to become confused and instead of hating
he excitedly whipped the horses TO clear
the crossing before the train reached mia.
The engineer. seeing that a collision was
inevitable. threw down his lever and closed
his eyes TO escape the horrible sight that
was impending. The wagon was struck a
second later when Squarely across the
tracks and instantly the air was filled with
the bodies of the ill-fated family and the
splinters of the shivered wagon. Shrieks
rent the air and mangled bodies were
strewn along both sides of the track. Two
of the bodies were impaled upon the pilot
of the locomotive. The momentum of the
train was great that IL ran fully two
hundred yards before 10 was stonped.

to the city. The party was coming here

given any intimation as 10 what banks hold
the money. Ii is believed by some that a
sum, VariOusly stated as high as 100000 is
held by banks that may pay out in time
but it is stated also that much has been

banks. where IL was farmed out by Bartiey.
