-Considerable Damage to Prop

Cincinnati, Nov. 27.-Floods are re-
ported all along the Ohio valley. In
almost the entire valley it has been
raining since last Tuesday and al
most continuously since Friday. While
no lives are reported lost the damage
to property is considerable. The Lick
ing river in Kentucky is very high and
caused some damage on the Ohio side
by its waters rushing across the Ohio
channe! ard sweeping the Cincinnati
landing. One of h bridges over the
Licking river, connecting Covington
and Newport, was swept away. The
lumber yards and mills and shipping
generally suffered great loss. On the
Ohio side the Great and the Little
Miami rivers are both high floods
along the tributaries of the Ohio river
are reported everywhere. The Ohio
rose eight feet here during the last
twenty-four hours. and it is rising
more rapidly now.

Distressing Tragedy Occurs i'm Min
neapolis.
Minneapolis, Nov. PA particularly
unfortunate and distressing affair oc-
CURED in the billiard room of the, West
hotel shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. The immediate result was
the killing of Leonard r. Day, a well
known young man, the arrest and in,
generation of Frank H. Hamilton, a
newspaper reporter, against whom is
brought the charge Of murder and the
complete prostration Of q widowed
mother, a greatly esteemed pioneer
resident of Minneapolis.
There is a good deal of mystery about
the sad occurrence, owing mainly to
the somewhat vague and wholly IN
satisfactory evidence of the men who
could reasonably be depended upon to
give an Intelligent and reliable version
of the affair. The fatal wound was in
flicted with a knife, and in the course
of a scuff1e between Day and Ham
ilton, and in the presence Of eight or
more intelligent n discriminating
men, all sober and all within close
proximity of the belligerents. The
young men are said to have had a
quarrel in which the name of a prom
inent young society woman figured.
