Gorges in Ohio steadily Increas-
ing


Wheeling, w. Va, Feb. 19.-The
gorge that extends from this place
to Parkersburg is increasing in
length, and it moved up today past
this city. closing the river for a
distance of FIVE miles in the direc-
ton of Pittsburg. All day yester-
day the ice from the upper rivers
aoated past and helped to form the
obstruction below near Mounds
vile, and this morning when it
reached Wheeling the wharfboat
was literally forced from the land
ing, where it is now safe against
the enroachment of the debris and
driftwood and ice that has collect
ed, filling the ri from bank to
bank and to depth in some places
of 20 feet
Reports received from Pittsburg
state that the gorge in the Ale
gheny, that now extends nearly a
hundred miles up from the Smoky
City, is becoming larger, and
should the heavy snowfall that is
now covering the mountain tops to
a depth of several feet in some
places go off with rain, which is
feared, the Ohio Valley will be
flooded as never before. /.

His RuIinE Passion.

A little old man, stooping and white
haired, with a rusty hat and long used
coat, was bending over the rows of
volumes in a dusty, antique bookstore
not many miles from East Twenty
third street the other day. There was
about him something of the flavor of
old time books and last century litera-
ture. He might have stepped out Of

shabby collectors absorbed in their

pockets from behind, pockets already
well drained, though, by the collectors

Suddenly he picked up a book eager
