THE OHIO VALLEY ALARMED.
The Present Flood the Worst Ever
known So Late in the Spring.

Cincinnati April T.-There has been
more alarm throughout the Ohio valley
to-day on account of the floods than at
any period since February, 1884, when the
Ohio river reached it's highest stage of
II feet and inches. Most of the inhabi-
tants of the valley spent the night in an
ticipation of the worst flood ever known
in the valley. as they will not know until
tomorrow that the water has begun faii-
ing at Pittsburg. Until this news reached
the river men here tonight it was feared
that the record of 1884 might be broken,
hut now it is generally believed that the
river will not exceed the floods of Feo-
ruary 1897. and of March, 1885, when it
reached 81 feet at Cincinnati.
The present flood is the worst that has
ever been known so late in the spring
The food will do much more damage now
than it would have done one or two
months ego. While the close observing
river men tonight are confident that the
record of 1884 will not be broken unless
another mountain flood soon reaches
Pittsburg yet II is now evident tnat
much damage viii be done before the
present rise is exhausted. While the wa
ter has begun to fall at Pittsburg, both
rain and snow have been failing heavily
last night and to-day and tonight all
! along the Ohio valley. The merchants
and manufacturers in the lower part of
the city have been working all day and
night preparing for the worst.
The Danger Line Reached.
The Weather Bureau announced that
the danger line had been reached at all
sub-stations tonight and that it would
be reached in Cincinnati tomorrow noon.
The stage was forty-four feet and seven
tenths at O'Clock here tor night, and the
danger line Is fifty feet.
At Point Pleasant the stage Is eight feet
above the danger line tonight with the
river rising rapidly. and heavy rain. The
Mayor of Portsmouth, o., telegraphed
that the danger line had been reached
there and that a. heavy snow was falling
| tonight Similar reports have been re-
ceived at the Weather Bureau from all
points in Southern Ohio and as far north
| as Springfield. Owing to the general
prostration Of telegraph and telephone
wires 1t is impossible to hear from many
points. The trains are late on all the
railroads and some trains that were due
last night from the East have not yet ar
| rived 1t is generally conceded that the
fruit crop throughout the Ohio valley is
gone and the damage to crops is very
great

A Disastrous Fire, but the Plant Not
Entirely Consumed.

Abbeville, Ga, April 21.-The Garbutt
Lumber Company, at Wright, twelve
miles south of here sustained heavy
loss by fire late yesterday evening.
The plant of this company was the
most extensive in Wilcox county. com
prising two saw mills, with combined
capacity of 125,O00 feet, besides planning
mill, dry kilns. commissary, etc, and Civ
ing employment to large number rof
. men, The FIRE, started in the slab pit.
and stiff gale blowing at the time car
ried sparks to the smaller of the two
saw mills, which soon burst into flames
and was rapidly consumed. The dry kiln
and planning mill were next discovered to
be on fire, and the former, with the lum-
Der 1t contained was entirely destroyed
BY all effort being concentrated on the
condition, and the flames, which at one
time threatened the total destruction OF
the whole plant, were subdued
The larger mill, situated two or three
hundred yards from the scene of the con-
flagration, escaped unsc thed, as did the
office, commissary and other buildings.
No reliable estimate of the loss can
be obtained at present but it will be way
up into the thousands. The firm carried
some Insurance. but what amount cannot
now be learned

May Cause the Nile to FIJI Up With
Mind.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Whether or not the great new dam on
the Nile at Assouan will be success is
the question which is now agitating en-
gineers throughout the world. This is
one of the greatest engineering feats at
tempted since the Suez Canal was built,
and the dam is to be put to its first test
this coming summer. with the first high
Nile since its completion.
1t is particularly among hydraulic en-
gineers familiar with the conditions of
the Mississippi river that the feasibility
of the Assouan dam to form a reservoir
is now being debated. The striking re-
semblance between the Nile and the Miss
issippi is that in both rivers the water
Is extremely muddy, carrying a large
amount of alluvial soil in solution so
long as the water is in motion.
Both these rivers have swift currents.
The moment the Nile water is arrested.
as is the case with the Mississippi, it
begins to deposit its sediment. You fill
a glass with the red Nile water and let
it rest overnight and in the morning you
find the water clear. with thick deposit
OF red mud at the bottom.
1t is this very regularity which II is
said will destroy the usefulness of the
Assouan dam as reservoir. This dam IS
to bank up the Nile water for a distance
of IA miles. The Nile water over this
distance will, 1t is said at once begin
to deposit It's mud, for It is only the
swift current of the Nile that enables
the water to retain the alluvial soil in
solution The consequence Will he, say
hydraulic engineers In this country, that
the Aesouan reservoir, intended 10 store
water for irrigation. will steadily diminish
in capacity. and perhaps in year or
two Il will be full Of mud up to the top.
This. however. will be true only OF the
wide banks and bayous along the Nile
above the dam. IN the middle The
Nile will, Of course. keep a small narrow
channel clear for itself, sweeping out It's
own course as does the Mississippi
through the Eads jetties. Close 10 tne
dam and for about a quarter Of mile
above il. the swift current will also clean
out the mud.
