CINCINNATI FLOOD NOT SERIOUS.
RIVER NOT EXPECTED TO REACH AS HIGH
A STAGE AS HAD BEEN FEARED

Cincinnati. April 23.-while the Ohio River is
reported tonight as falling from Pittsburg TO
the mouth of the Big Kanawha. almost three
hundred miles. there is still much distress from
that point to Cincinnati. about two hundred
miles. The weather bureau still predicts that
the limit will be reached here tomorrow and
there will be still less trouble below this city.
While alarming inquiries come from Ironton,
Portsmouth Huntington, Catlettsburg and inter
mediate points tonight, the weather bureau says
the outlook is really encoura ging and that the
beginning of the end will reach Cincinnati to-
morrow, when the stage will not exceed fifty
eight feet
The Big Sandy and other lower tributaries are
falling, as we'll as the headwaters. Heavy snow
in the mountains at the headwaters Of the Ken
lucky River, followed by rains, has 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 became sta
tionary. and later reports show that 1t is falling
as far down as Marietta and Parkersburg
At o'clock tonight the stage of the Ohio
River was 55.1 feet, and rising at the rate Of
two-tenths Of an inch an hour This is more
than five feet above the danger line, and within
three feet of the limit expected. The water in
the tenement houses along the river front is now
ten feet deep The tenement houses are
densely packed that there is room in the
upper stories for extra dodgers. The people were
removed from the first floors yesterday, and
on the second floors to-day. The coal and lum-
ber yards along the river, well the ware
houses and factories in the lower part of the
city, submerged, but will suffer compare
lively little loss. Many barges have been sunk
and there has been some damage to other craft.
With the Ohio River the south. the Little
Miami east Of the city and the raging Mill Creek
west, Cincinnati is bounded by water on three
sides and by hills the north. From these
hills sea of water is in sight. The Big Miami
west of the city became high to-day that it
washed away much of the Cincinnati, Lawrence
burg and Aurora electric track.
Both passenger and freight trains all the
steam railways are arriving and departing as
ban stations On the west side the Coerain-ave
bridge was washed away to-day. On the east
side the Bracket Bridge Company, which is
constructing the waterworks suffered a
heavy loss by the false work being swept away
In the flooded districts in the southern, eastern
and western parts of the city to-day the trim
mers of the street electric lights made their
rounds in boats instead of wagons, and had
trouble in reaching the lamps.
The Cincinnati bail park, located in the Mill
Creek Valley. on the west side. is under water
tonight The Cincinnati club opened the season
by postponing seven games out of the first eight
consecutive dates They will play in Chicago
on Friday, and be away for ten days. by the
end of which time it is hoped their grounds will
be dry.
The races at Newport run under difficult
ties. but they will continue tomorrow.

how the station may be made self-supporting. The
appropriation for its expenses was nxed at $1,000
DR.. A. H. Doty. Health Officer Of the Port. said
last night that for time it had been thought
that the quarantine laws should be changed so
