OF the other railways will be shut out
or their regular depots. All Of the rail-
ways have also made arrangements for
! receiving and delivering freight at higher
stations, SO that there will be no inter
ruption here either to passenger or
freight traffic. Owing to the inability
OF the steamers to get under the bridges
navigation on the river is susr ended but
1t can also be resumed on Thursday so
far as the present rise is concerned.
Owing to washouts the Cincinnati, Ports
mouth & Virginia railway cannot run

what Is known as the danger line Of
fifty fet wa snot reached until / o'clock
1Oth6rS
warehouses and manufacturers in tie
lower part of the city have been suffering
Goods had been moved out eof the cell
lars in first floors SO that there will not
be very much loss except to such manu-
factories as must shut down for two or
three days. The river here was rising
at the rate of three inches an hour this
morning. This was reduced to two inches
an hour before noon, AMI 1t is slightly
less tonight and will continue to decrease
until the maximum rise is reached
Wednesday morning. The most hopeful
thing here is the fact that the flood is
unobstructed in the lower Ohio and that
there is less backwater than usual and
that the trouble will be of short duration.
1t is settled now that if a second rise
from the Allegheny reg on comes 1t will
not overtake the present flow So far
the damage here has been limit ID to
the lumbermen and others located alone
the river front
The endless line of shanty boats and
other craft along the river front have
been swept away, but so far without loss
of life.
