sumption can take place.
CINCINNATIS TROUBLES.
Cincinnati, O., Feb. 24.-The presence
Of an effective food is felt here today.
While estimates have heretofore limited
the food to sixty feet, the developments
OF today begin to make it appear that
that figure viii be exceeded. One Of the
evidences of the foods presence is the
effect upon the railroads. The incoming
passengers on roads that use the Grand
Central depot were compelled to debark
at the Eighth street transfer depot. where
fortunately an electric street car line
made the change less troublesome. The
Chesapeake and Ohio. however. has its
Fourth street station which is far above
any possible food. The Cincinnati, Ham,
ilton and Dayton and the Dayton and
the Pennsylvania tracks are not likely to
be involved.
Up the Mill creek valley one of the sad
dest sights is the utter destruction Of the
vast areas Of hot beds where innumera-
bic vegetable gardeners earn their living.
All the labor of weeks and months is
destroyed, and after the water subsidies
long time will ensue before their slen-
der income can be re-estabiished. Many
gardeners view the desolation from their
houses which are accessible now only by
boats. The back-water up the valley
h.,e ,;,,.-t -1o o,,l
is near the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton tracks at the station. Every foot
OF rise from now on only adds to the
discomfort and loss that must ensue from
families driven to upper stories or out of
their houses, and from removal Of prop
erty from the water.
At IL o'clock the stage was Sc feet II
inches, and in the next half hour it had
risen to 81 feet. The rise has been almost
uniformly two inches per hour.
LEvEE STANDS STRAIN.
Over in Newport. KY, the flood has
stopped many manufacturing establish
ments and has flooded the houses of nu-
merous families. Street car communica-
ton between it and Bellevue and Dayton
has been stopped and passengers are
transferred in fiat boats. In Covington
the low lying houses are being deserted.
Below at the lagoon, a pleasure resort,
the water is already on the floor OF the
dancing pavilion and the club house is
endangered. Great anxiety has been felt
and still continues at Lawrence, Ind,
where during the flood of 1884 the water
ran through the main street and carried
away many houses. Since then a big
levee has been built for the protection of
the city. The fear that the levee would
break under the effect of the waves caus-
ed by last nights wind kept half of the
town awake A force of men patrolled
the levee al night. No break occurred.
The levee can safely Withstand 65 to 6S
feet, while river men at that point do not
expect more than 81 feet.
The problem now is how soon will the
rise end. 1t has ended at Pittsburg and
in all the tributaries Of the Ohio and the
cold weather is most favorable for a
rapid decline. 1t is estimated here that
1t must continue to rise until Friday at
least, though of course at a lower rate.
Observers OF the weather bureau say 1t
will reach sixty feet by Thursday but
will not GO much beyond that mark.
ICE GORGE BROKEN.
Remove. Pa, Feb. 24.-The ice gorge
Which formed in the Susquehanna river
on Monday night few miles east OF
Remove was dislodged at 10 o'clock last
night and was carried by the city of
Lock Haven without doing any damage.
There Is six foot fiood this morning but
the river is free Of ice. No damage is
now apprehended.
