Cincinnati, March 6.-During the last

Ohio river, extending from below the
Kentucky river up to Morgantown, w.
Va. Last night two-thirds of Charles

at that point last night was Al feet and
two-fifths of an inch, which equals the
highest previous record at that point.
The United States engineer says it will
likely reach one foot higher. On the
north side of the Ohio the streams are
full, but not dangerous. Above Parkers-

streams are high, but not at all danger

The weather bureau at this point sent
out last night danger signals to Point

Athens, Tenn. March GA terrific
tornado passed over q portion Of Mad
isonville and Monroe county Saturday
night, with disastrous results. Early
In the evening strong wind arose and
several hours later a cyclone about 70
yards wide struck a portion Of Mad
isonville, killing three persons, wound
Ing ten or twelve others and completely
destroying IL or 10 houses and several
barns. The killed are Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Moser and Ed L. Horton.
Wounded: Miss Willie Erwin, Miss
Della Mason, Mrs. L. Horton, Mrs. L.
A. Robinson. Mr.. L. A. Robinson, Ho-
bart Robinson, Miss Rodgers, Miss
Moser and Professor Charles KellA
The most distressing feature Of the
tornado was the manner in which Jack
Moser met his death. He was hurled
700 yards against a wire fence, which
completely severed his head from his
body. Miss Rodgers may die, her body
having been lacerated by broken panes
Of glass.

The escape of the inmates of these two
houses, eight in the Horton and three In

Of them being blown distance Of hun

without scratch.
w. f. Ervin's residence had one end
torn away. Dillon Rogers house is also
a wreck. Erskine Lowry's residence
moved a distance Of ten feet, and was
almost wrecked out Of shape.
The storm came up with alarming sud
dcnness and swept everything in its path.
1t was accompanied by the terrific roar
usually attending tornados. Frightened
inhabitants rushed for their cellars and
places of safety. In the country great
damage was done to orchards and crops
by the wind end hail.
1t is reported that further casualties
resulted in the rural districts, but no par.
ticulars can be obtained.
