ANOTHER FLOOD THREATENED.
Rains Prevail in the East That May Move Into
the Ohio Valley.
fBy the Associated Press.

I
Cincinnati, Ohio, April 24.-The flood
outlook in the middle Ohio Valley is not
very encouraging tonight The predicted
limit of fifty-eight feet will be passed
here and the estimated limits at other
points will be more than has been esti-
mated 1t is also evident now that when
the limit is reached in the middle Ohio
Valley, it will be stationary for some
time and the fall will be much slower
than was anticipated, even If there shall
be no second rise. This is attributed to
rising waters in the Big Sandy, Muskin
gum and other tributaries above Cincin-
natl.
The weather bureau map tonight shows
rains prevailing in the east that may
move westward into the Allegenies and
start another food in the Ohio while its
lower tributaries began rising tonight.
Only three lives have been reported
lost None of the bodies have been re-
covered and their identity is not known.
DANGER LINE REACHED.
Louisville, KY, April 24.-The Ohio
reached the danger line, % feet, tonight,
and at 6 p. IN. was rising an inch an hour.
The river is expected to reach 80 to 81
feet. The water has reached the bust
ness houses.

Brainerd turned and met the attack with
the revolver levelled at the deputy. A
struggle followed and the revolver was
discharged, the bullet grazing the officers
side.
Then another officer dubbed Brainerd
into submission and he was taken to the
police station. He appeared excited and
ugly, and was kept handeuffed His
clothing was saturated with blood and he
paced restlessly up and down the cell.
In the meantime the surgeons had
cared for the wounded. Wadsworth had
bullets through the left arm and bowels.
Lane was shot in the throat and Buxton
had received bullet through the body.
The men were taken to the hospital, and

taken the horse should be placed in

one ounce of powdered aloes should
be given in half pint of water. If

bags should be used, stimulants pref
erably in the form Of whiskey, of
which four ounces and like auan-
tity of water may be given every
four hours. If the extremities are
cold they should be briskly rubbed
and bandaged. If the surface of
the body is cold it should be we'll
brushed, ribbed and blanketed.
Oatmeal Cruel should be given
frequently, boiled oats, boiled
carrots and small quantity Of
good clean hav. One drachm OF
tincture belladonna and a like
amount of tincture nux vomica may
be given in little water every -four
or six hours. Two to four drachms

have heard it SAID that it's tempera.
ture is AZ degrees, but / can't vouch
for it. 1t was cold enough, anyway,
to tell on US in five minutes. We
were both aching and blue.
We were concerning ourselves now
with finding place to land-a diff.
hcult proposition. Between every
duck from flying water we would
scan the shore up and down. 1t was
all alike, rocky and forbidding. But
there was man on shore. Another
and still another. And there on the
hilltop were more people. 1t was
now that We took in the situation.
We understood afterwards that these
spectators thought surely we would
be drowned. Consider our position.
We were in sunken frail craft in a
sea such as can be picked up in a
body of water seventy five miles wide
IN a gale of wind. Ashore was moth.
ing but solid rock, which in conjuno-
ton with one of these waves would
have served to have broken every
bone i'll our bodies, not mentioning
the ribs of the boat. There we were,
being driven to our destiny with no
alternative, before the gaze of bare
headed men, women and children.
Just exactly how it all happened
is sort of vague to me now. 1 re-
member it through a roar of wind
and surf and see it through haze
of foam. / can plainly make out
sea of great magnitude coming chas-
ing Us over the stern-and l remem-
Der the jump we made like leaping
express train as it caught us and
carried us instead of passing us by.
l catch my breath in hurry now as
l did then at the wild speed with
which we dashed for the shore. There
is a peculiar feeling in my throat now
as there was then when 1 saw that
rock-lined beach. There seemed no
salvation. There was no turning the
Dipper without destruction, there
was no continuing without destruc-
tion. But a faint light sometimes
pierces the blacklist moment of our
lives, and in that light that suddenly
broke we saw the shape of an anchor.
Over with it and away. Steering
was abandoned and we both clung to
the line and to the boat. How we
checked that flying boat loaded with
water shall never know, but check
her we did. There was a moment of
slackening, moment of stop, and
then an engulfing of everything
around us and ourselves.
see it now as ] saw it then, a
wave burst over us and hides the
land and the sky and carries us from
the boat. / see il now as | saw it
then, bearded Canadian, true to
the law of preservation of life, coming
towards me, and l feel his hand on
my shoulder. l see it now as | saw
it then, fire and each of us standing
over it cold and wet. And, lastly,
the vision of bottle and an awful,
strange feeling clings to me still.
But here it abruptly closes.
In a word of conclusion let the
thanks be given to all who concerned
themselves with our continuing "of
the earth earthly" Let us acknow-
ledge the remarkable strength of the
boat that certainly saved the expedi-
ton from being wiped from the face
of things. She was hauled ashore
by that same bravely persevering
crowd.
We are repairing rapidly, and we
hope to very shortly pass over that
same ill-omened spot and laugh in
its face.

CoiSi uiiJs HAS the following 10 saw
of the coming Carnival in that CITY
October 7-12th:
THE CARNIVAL.
Owe intend to give our country
cousins 'the time of their lives when
they attend our Carnival next Octo-
Der. The plans we have laid to
amuse them-as well as ourselves
are most elaborate, and if the occa-
sion proves drag, it will greatly
astonish hundreds who are prepar-
ing for the festivities.
"To begin with, the Carnival will
take place at the sweetest time of
the year, and when Virginia-and
Richmond in PARTICULARS at her
loveliest. That week, as the chill.
dren would say, we expect to have
more fun than a box of monkeys.'
'In addition tt the splendid pro-
gram of amusements which the va
rious committees have provided,
there likewise will be many instruc-
tive features connected with the
Carnival. The exhibits in the fas-
cinating booths will show much to
attract practical people, while the
electrical displays, aside from their
dazzling beauty, will prove revela-
ton to those good folk who usually
pass their evenings meath the glow
of kerosene lamps or tallow dips.
"lf money can buy attractions,
we'll have everything calculated to
amuse and instruct that week, but
modesty forbids US to detail the
attractions. Such promises SAVIOR of
circus-bill literature, which occa-
sionally is hyperbolical, whereas our
show unquestionably will be the
greatest on earth
"And so, through the megaphone
of our hospitality, we shout the
good news throughout Virginia and
the Carolinas, and invite one and all
to join us during Carnival week."

whitewash in which carbolic acid
has been mixed. The top soil, il
stalls are not foored, should be

oughly scalded aud washed with a
solution of oarbolic acid. All DAM
aged feed should be removed from
stable and under no consideration
should it be fed to other stock.
This is very essential.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
"The preventive measures consist
of having the stable well ventilated,
drained and lighted and clean at all
times, and see that horses are prop.
erly fed and cared for. Water should
be pure and not contaminated by
surface drainage. Feed should be
clean and of best quality and should
be given in liberal quaint titles when
the horse is at work and rations
should be reduced when horse is
idle. When horse is put in pasture
1t rs imperative that pasture is at
least reasonably free from weeds,
rank and wild grasses"
