Cincinnati, April 2S.-While the Ohio
river is reported tonight as falling from
Pittsburg to the mouth of the Big ka-
nawha, almost 800 miles, there is still
much distress from that point to Cincin-
natl about 200 miles. The Weather Bu-
reau still predicts that the limit will be
reached here tomorrow and that there
will be still less trouble below this city.
The Big Sandy and other lower tributa-
ries are falling as well as the headwaters.
The heavy snow in the mountains at the
headwaters of the Kentucky river, fol-
lowed by rains. have not checked the
rapid flow in the lower Ohio, as was
feared.
The most encouraging news to-day came
from Point Pleasant, where the river be-
came stationary and later reports show
that it is falling as far down as Marietta
and Parkersburg. In some of the smaller
places bells were rung and cannon fred
and jollification meetings were held when
the stationary stage was reached. Prepar-
ations are being made for demonstrations
of rejoicing throughout the Pomeroy Bend
tomorrow. Pomeroy, Middleport, Point
Pleasant and other places in that district
have been badly inundated, with hun
dreds of families driven from their homes.
River 5J.I Feet and StiII Rising.
Al o'clock tonight the stage of the
Ohio river was 551 feet and rising at the
rate of two-tenths of foot per hour.
This is more than five feet above the
danger line, and within three feet of the
limit expected during this food. The water
in the tenement houses along the river
front is now over ten feet deep from the
first floors These tenements are so dense
ly packed that there is no room on the up
per stories for extra dodgers. The people
were removed from the first floors yes
terday and on the second floors to-day
The coal and lumber yards along the river
as well as the warehouses and factories
in the lower part of the city, are sub
merged, but win suffer comparatively lit
tie lose. Many barges have been sunk
and there has been some damage to Other
craft.

A MORBIQl'fHRONG
 GAzED AND GAPED
At the LifeIess Body of Mur-
 deFeT Frank Miller
A WOMAN CAME AND WEPT
She Claimed to Have Known the Grim Inai, and That He Was Not a Leader of Ruffians-She
 Was Queer.

The undertakers' room of Gaudin & Loy, at No. 200 Twenty-frst street, were crowded all day yesterday with people desiring to view the remains of Frank Miller and Alonzo Williams, the murder CTS who were hanged Friday Most of the visitors seemed anxious to view Mil- Ter. and only the coiored element and few white people seemed anyway inter- ested in Williams.
 After reaching the undertaking rooms Miller's face was shaved and he was robbed in black His features were well preserved, the only disf1gurement being where the rope came in contact with his neck and face The expression on his face showed no pain. There were no words of sympathy for Miller. All were of one ac- cord-that Miller was a dangerous man.
 An attempt was made to bury Miller Friday night at 9 o'clock, but Coroner Paris would not consent to this and re- fused to issue a permit for his burial un- til yesterday at 12:30 o'clock The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock, the interment being in the South side Catholic cemetery.
 Coroner Paris said he wanted to hold the remains as long as possible, hoping to receive some instructions as to their disposition from Miller's relatives in Ger many. But no word vas received, and under instructions from Miller's attorneys the body was buried.
 Yesterday morning a woman giving her name as Mrs. Tiess called at the under takers rooms and viewed the remains of Miller As sle gazed upon him she burst Into sobs. This was the first sympathy for Miller, and the crowd seemed very much amazed
 When the woman was quieted down she said that her name was Mrs Joseph Tiess and that her home was in East Birmingham. She stated that she had known Miller for several years She in- timated that his name was neither Mill Ter nor Mueller but failed to disclose his real name. According to her statement, Miller was of a rich German parentage and that once he held high position. She did not think his family knew of his execution and that Miller would never disclose his troubles to his fam fly She said that he had only been con- nected with the gang eight months when captured, and that he was not regarded as ring leader by the other mem bers of the gang. -Mrs. Tiess does not think Miller was guilty of the crime for which he was executed.
 Williams Romaina
 Late yesterday afternoon the remains of Alonza Williams were still at the un- dertakers rooms, where they were car ried immediately after the execution. Si- mon Dodd, his step-father, has not yet claimed the body and 1t will be buried in | the potter's field over Red Mountain.

COLONEL HIGDON
 SEES THE MAYOR In Regard to the Third Regi-

 and Colonel Will Try to
 Make Arrangements.
SOME MONEY IS REQUIRED

Whether Birmingham will get the en- campment of the Third Regiment, Ala. bama National Guard depends upon two conditions. They are subscription to help defray the expenses of the encamp ment and permission to use the Fair Grounds and buildings free of charge Mayor Drennen yesterday received the following letter:
 Birmingham, June 2S. 1901. Hon. w. M. Drennen, Mayor of Birming ham:
 Dear Sir-I am very anxious to bring my regiment to Birmingham, and have decided if I can get the use of the fair grounds and all buildings not In use. that it would be a change from East Lake and an inducement for more men to attend the encampment this year and would be more accessible for the citizens to attend and encourage the members of the regiment by their presence.
 Will you call a meeting of the Fair Association and ascertain for me whether I can have the free use of the grounds If I decide to bring the regiment to Birmingham?
 much appreciated. Very respectfully your.
 F. IA IIIGDON. Colonel Third Regiment. A. N. G. Colonel Hlgdon yesterday called in person on the Mayor In regard to his let ter.
 After discussing the question thorough ly, the colonel and the mayor decided to try to arrange for a meeting of the di- reetors of the Fair Association, the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club immediately to discuss the matter.
 Huntsville is very anxious to secure the encampment and unless Birmingham comes forward immediately with the necessary subscription the encampment will go to Huntsville.
 The date for holding the encampment is July 10-16 inclusive.

is sold and shipped as billets, blooms and slabs The starting of the new rail mill at that place in the near future will, as a matter of course, be a move in the right direction, as 1t will provide for finishing large proportion of the output of the Ensley plant.
 "Other plants are now In course of con- struction, which will still further consume and finish the products of the district
 "The present status of the iron and steel market is a striking Illustration of the comparative demand for crude products as against finished products The finishing mills are oversold and high prices are be- Ing paid for their products, and while the consumption of pig Iron Is large, the fact is doubtless attributed to the enormous tonnage that is being converted Into steel.
 '"Two steel hoop mills have been located in Atlanta, Ga, in the past eighteen months. One was sold out to the Ameri- can Steel Hoop Company and the other is now running as an independent mill. They are also building there a tin plate mill. The same enterprise that prompted the Atlanta people to locate these plants in a place like Atlanta where no special advantages exist, should be displayed in locating similar industries here where there exists every possible advantage"
