Cincinnati, April 21.-There has
been more alarm throughout the Ohio
valley to-day on account of floods
than at any period since February,
1854, when the Ohio river reached it's
highest stage of II feet and 0 inches
at this city. Most of the inha bitants
of the valley spent the night in anti
cipation of the worst flood ever known
in the valley as they Will not know
until tomorrow that the water has
been falling at Pittsburgh. Until this
news reached the river men here to-
night it was feared that the record of
1884 might be broken, but now it is
generally believed that the river will
not exceed the floods of February,
1897, and OF March, 1898, when it
reached 81 feet at Cincinnati.
The present flood is the worst that
has ever been known so late in the
spring. The first week in April, 1856,
the river reached 50 feet and 0 inches
in this city, and that was the highest
water ever known so late in the
spring. There has been no food in the
Ohio valley since March. 1898. The
food will do much more damage now
than it would have done one or two
months ago.
While the water has began to fall
at Pittsburgh both rain and snow
have been falling heavily last night
and to-day and tonight all along the
Ohio valley. The danger line has al
ready been reached at points above
Cincinnati, and it will be reached here
Tomorrow mOrninr
The merchants and manufacturers
in the lower part of the city have
been working all day and night pre-
pairing for the worst. Early this even
ing the weather bureau here an
nounccd heavy SHOWS and rains along
the Ohio valley. The uniform rise
during the day was fOur-tenths of a
foot per hour, but the average is
higher tonight.
The weather bureau announced that
the danger line has been reached at
all upper substatiuns tonight, and
that it will be reached in Cincinnati
tomorrow noon. The stage was Al
feet and seven-tenths at six o'clock
here tonight, and the danger line is
so feet.
At Point Pleasant the stage is eight
feet above the danger line tonight,
with the river rising rapidly and n
heavy rain. The mayor of Ports
mouth, o., telegraphed that the dan
ger line had been reached there and
that a heavy snow was falling to-
night.
Similar reports have been received
from all over southern Ohio, and as
far north 2 SDriO UfieId
Trains are late on all railroads and
some trains that were due last night
rom the east have not yet arrived.
1t is generally conceded that the
fruit crop throughout the Ohio valley
is gone and the damage to crops is
very great.

GREAT LOSSES AT PITTSBURGH.
The MurI<cy Waters RecedinG After
Doing Millions of Damage.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 21.-Pitts-
burgh and Allegheny are slowly
emerging from the murkey flood.
At s p. IN. the rivers were re-
ceding nearly a foot an hour. The
highest point reached at Davis Island
dam was 25.8 feet at a. m, which
means IS feet at the junction of the
Allegheny and MOnOngahela rivers.
The water remained stationary until
about p. M, when it began to fall.
damage iii this district are between
s., 900, 900 and s. 900 900. Fifty thousand
workers are suffering from enforced
idleness.
While there have been greater
floods at this point, there never was
one that caused so mcuh financial loss
and discomfort. This was due to the
denser population caused by the re-
cent growth of the two cities and to
the fact that all the manufacturing
plants on the banks of the river were
operating, most of them working
night and day until the rising water
put out the fires and drove the work
ers to higher ground.
The loss to railroads entering Pitts
burgh from floods, landslides,
wrecked bridges, heavy SHOWS and in
reference with traffic is roughly esti-
mated at 81 100000.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 21.-At Q p.
m. the river is Al feet inches, and
rising two inches an hour. The top
notch is expected in an hour or two
with less than fOrty-two feet. This
stage shuts Wheeling entirely off from
outside communication by rail and
only the big Cincinnati liners are able
to run now, and irate residents along
the river banks are firing frequently
at the boats because the swell from
them is washing the foundations away
from their houses. Tonight a Wheel

boat, but without effect.
In Wheeling, Bellaire, Bridgeport,
Benwood and Martins Ferry about
five hundred houses have been entered
by the water, most of the families
moving to upper floors. Nearly every
manufacturing establishment in the
Wheeling district is shut down and
can not resume until Tuesday.
At Martins Ferry the water des-

ticaIly all roads entering the city con-
tinue to arrive from one TO three
hours behind schedule time.
Traffic on the city street car lines
continued to be badly crippled all day
as a result of the deep snow and slush
on the tracks. So heavy is the snow
and slush in many places that the
most powerful sweepers became
stalled in it.
n large section OF the city is still
cut off from communication by wire
with fire headquarters. Some fire
alarm boxes are out of service and
even fire stations are without tele-
graph or telephone commotion as a
result of the general Prostration of
the wires.

three brothers in the '5Gs from Scot
land. Two of the brothers died of yell
low fever in 1876, and in 1850 William
went West and had not been heard
from since until last week, and it was
believed he was dead. Caleb and Fanny
have been invalids for fifteen years,
and have lived in most abject poverty,
relying upon charity of neighbors for
necessaries of life. A letter was re.
ceived last week from William O'Ban-
non, now of near Wichita, Kas., send

the old couple, and directing they be
sent to him SO that he may care for

Melancholy Incident at Troy.

One of the saddest incidents in the
history of Troy was closed one day last
week with the funeral of Miss Judson
Rochelle, who died just seven hours
after the funeral of her father, j. A.
Rochelle. Mr.. Rochelle was about 81
years old, and had been a merchant in
Troy for the past twenty years, and
was also identified with other business
affairs, and was consistent member of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
Fe was SEX only tr'0 or three days,
and at the time of his funeral his
daughter, Miss JudsOn, was in good
health, and would have attended, but
for exhaustion from the severe ner-
vous strain. In a very short time after
the sad procession left the house she
was seized by convulsion, became
unconscious and never rallied. She
was beautiful woman about 81 years
old, loved by all who knew her, and
prominent in church and social circles.
