CINCINNATI, April 27.-After remaining
stationary at 597 feet for twenty hours the
Ohio river began falling here at o'clock
this afternoon and at 7. o'clock the stage
was 80 95 feet. The Weather Bureau esti-
mated that the water will fall 10 80 feet
by Sunday morning and get below the dam
ger line on Monday While floods in seven
different years had higher water than was
registered this year. yet the present flood
is the highest that was ever known so
late in the season. The high records have
heretofore been in February.
At Portsmouth, o.. tonight Clerk Henry
Winter, of the Water Works Board. gave
notice urging all persons to use as little
water as possible, as a shutdown of the
water works seems almost necessary. This,
he states, is owing to the fact that grit and
gravel have cut out the packing Of the big
Pumps, causing a diminished water supply
with the additional danger Of a break
down at any moment. The pumps tonight
are only furnishing domestic pressure, and
heavy consumers who have not closed their
plants are running on water from reserve
tanks. wells and other sources. If fire
should break out the condition would be
terrible. The river marks 81 feet 61s inches

left. 1t will be used to build dykes 10 fur

OUTRAGE BY NEGROES
WOMAN CRIMINALLY ASSAULTED
AND HUSBAND MURDERED.
ConneIIsvilIe Coke Region stirred Up
Over a DastardIy Crime Com
mitted Last Night.

CONNELLSvILLE, Pa, April 27.-The
Conneilsville coke region is all stirred up
tonight again over the dastardly deeds of
a gang of negroes who attacked Hiram Nc
MILAN, a white man. and his wife, in
lonely house near Olphant, and shot the
man twice. probably mortally wounding
him, and assaulting brutally the woman,
who also is in a serious condition from the
abuse. McMilan's house sets back from
the highway near the old historic Oliphant
furnace.
Mcmillan is about forty years old.
but his wife is quite young
woman. and the two were alone. Sudden
ly eight negroes. the party containing
two black women, came from hiding and
attacked the house The men burst in the
door, dragged Mrs. Mcmillan from her hus-
bands arms and carried her out behind an
outbuilding. where the six men assaulted
her. Leaving their victim prostrated, the
men gave their attention to the frantic
husband. who had been engaged in fight
with one or more of the men throughout
the terrible ordeal. Mcmillan broke from
his assailants, and as he darted back into
his house, the negroes evidently thinking
that he going for a gun or revolver.
drew a bead on him and a bullet pierced
his body just below the heart. Mcmillan
fell at his door, but before fleeing the ne
groes shot at his PROSTATE body, another
bullet lodging in the fallen man near the
kidney.
For some time after the negroes had fled
the husband lay at his door bleeding, and
his wife lay unconscious behind the out
building, about fifty feet away. The wom-
an came to her senses first and found her
husband. Mrs. Mcmillan gave the alarm,
and Immediately a posse was organized to
hunt down the negroes. The posse did not
lose much time in getting started over the
hills and in a couple of hours came across
Wesley Lewis, one of the supposed assail-
ants, who thought he would elude the Of
ficers by hiding in some bushes. He was
handcuffed and brought under guard to the
Fayette county Jail, where he is now be-
hind the bars. Bessie Wares and Lizzie
Jones, the two colored women implicated
in the rioting were also locked up in
Uniontown
In the meantime the word had spread
throughout all Fayette county, and grea.
number of white men are now securing the
foothills OF the Aleghenies in the hope of
finding the other five negroes.
Mrs. Mcmillan is at her home and has
suffered severely from the brutal treatment
she received. Her friends and relatives
swear vengeance swift and terrible on the
negroes if they can get them from the
