CINCINNATI, Jan. 24.-The Ohio river
has been stationary at 5O.3 for several
hours, and hopes that there may not
be a disastrous flood are strengthened
by the continued clear, cold weather
through the Ohio valley. But rising
waters are reported from all up river
points. The rise at Parkersburg in the
past % hours was 3.3 feet; at
Point Pleasant SIS; at Portsmouth,
SO. This indicates another rise in the
Ohio. Ii the present weather con-
tinues it may not go beyond the line
where railroad traffic is interrupted,
but if the weather forecast for Tues
day is fulfilled the conditions will be
favorable for a flood that will cause

Alarming Rise In the Mississippi.

rise at rate chat is considered alarm
ing by river men in general, and es-
pecially levee contractors who have
filed bonds to complete certain work
at given time. The time named has
almost expired, but the excessive
rains, causing an unpreceden tedly
high state of water for this season of
the year, has operated against
levee work. As result there
are several breaks in the lower
levees, which it will be i'm
possible to remedy before March and
April freshets unless there shall be 80
days or more of clear weather. The
danger line at Memphis is 3S feet. The
gauge reads 80 feet showing a rise of
2.2 feet in IL hours with a continued
rise predicted. Plantation owners in
the delta country are thoroughly
alarmed, but there is no immediate
danger to life or property.
