Louisville, KY, March 9.-The Ohio
river was stationary at noon today
with the gauge inches above the
danger line. The weather bureau aa-
nounces that the river will remain on
a stand for two days, when further
rise is expected.
The water crept off into Fourth
street during the night, flooding many
easements and cutting off the entrance
to the Kentucky and Indiana elevated
railroad The tnhabitants of Ship
pingsport, In the western part of the
town, are using boats as a means of
transportation, but no serious damage
is reported
All the lowlands north of the Louis
vile and Nashville river front tracks,
from Brook street to the cutoff" are
submerged, and Towhead island Is en-.
tired under water. A rise of nearly
2 feet is expected by Thursday.
A dispatch from English, Ind, reports
much damage done by the Blue river.
The English Stave company lost sew
eral thousand feet of lumber and the
merchants Of the lower part of town
were heavily damaged. The bridge
across Blue river leading to Hazel
wood Sulphur Springs was washed
away and several persons barely es-
capped.
The Wabash at Vinoennes is 18 feet
and is still rising. People from the
Illinois side are compelled to use boats
or walk on the levee to reach Vim
cennes. Thousands OF acres are un-
der water In that vicinity.

New Orleans, March 9.-The official
river gauge today marked 1871 feet,
a rise of half a foot in the past o.
hours. This is still nearly 1R feet
under the record Of 1897 The levee
forces are quietly at work strength
entng the front in anticipation of the
food promised by tAe weather buerau
within the next three weeks As there
has been a vast improvement in the
levee system since 1897, when 1876
feet Of water was successfully held,
the fact that a 20-foot stage is predict
ed gives no reason for grave apprehen-
sion here. Heretofore the river has
never reached its present stage with
out break somewhere in Louisiana
and Mississippi. The absence of
crevasses to date is taken as evidence
of the marked improvement in the
levee system
Old river men say that the current
passing here Is unusually strong. If
the leveeS holds, this will expedite
the discharge Of the food and reduce
materially the period of high water
here. Planters have large forces at
work to protect the entertainments and
reports received here are generally Of
a favorable character Bayou La.
forche Is extremely high the water be-
ing near the tops of the levees in
many places, but no erevasse has yet
occurred in that section.
The New Orleans leveed board has
employed a large force Of men who
have been put to work to fill sacks
with earth. These will be held in
readiness to strengthen weak points
as they appear. Several thousand
sacks were shipped down the coast
today. The levees in that quarter
are considerably endangered by the
food

Tampa, Fla, March 9.-Henry
Thomas, a negro, who criminally as
saulted the 10-yearold daughter of
Porter Keene, was lynched near Par,
ish last night after being positively
identified by his victim and having ad-
mitted his guilty.
Thomas was captured yesterday af-
ternoon miles south of Parish and
after being taken to the scene of his
crime, was hanged to tree.
The crime which Thomas committed
was one of the most daring in this
state, having taken place in broad day
light.
The 10year-old daughter of Keene
had been sent to the home of a neigh
Dor to purchase some vegetables. The
neighbOr's home was only half mile
distant, and when the victim of the
assault arrived there, she was sent
a short distance from the farm to pro-
cure the yetables. There the negro
saw her and Immediately following,
came up with and attempted to as
sault her, almost in sight of the farm
house.
The little girl, when she finally man
aged to escape, ran towards her own
home and the negro continued to fol-
low her. Mrs Keene, alarmed at her
daughters absence, had started in
search Of her, and Immediately after
she left her home, she saw her little
daughter running toward her, with the
negro in pursuit. Upon seeing Mrs
Keene, the negro drew a pistol on
her and threatened to shoot If she
came further in his direction
The alarm was Immediately given,
and posses of citizens began a search
for the negro. He was located at
several places, but managed to escape
each time, until he was finally cap
tured

Cincinnati, March 9.--Contrary TO ex-
pectations raised by the heavy rain
of Saturday and Saturday night the
Ohio river began falling again Sunday
night and was still falling today at
the rate Of one-tenth Of a foot an

not make any noise, should be pre-
