General Relief May he Expected Soon
at All Danger Points.

CINCINNATI. March 15-One rise fol-
lowed another so closely during the past
month that flood stage has been kept up
in the Ohio river. During the past twenty
four hours the river has fallen a foot. with
out any other rise to follow, so that the
flood conditions in the lower Ohio valley
will soon be relieved.
The Ohio river is now falling from Pitts
burg to eastern Indiana, and the Weather

MEMPHIS, March 15-The flood situa-
ton between Charlottesville, Mo-, and
Baton Rouge, La, is serious tonight. The
river is rising rapidly, and it will be little
short of marvel If the levees hold the
great volume of water. The gauge at Mem
phs tonight marks 3S.5 feet, a rise Of IL
foot since last night This Is the highest
water recorded here. Local Observer EN-
cry, of the Weather Bureau, said tonight
that S911 feet would be registered by Tues
day, and those interested have been warned
to prepare for a stage of 40 feet.
The situation in and around Memphis is
becoming more serious. Without single
exception the numerous lumber plants in
Memphis have suspended operations owing
to the encroachment of the waters. At
Fourth and Market streets people are NOV
ing about in skiffs, and the street railway
has annulled all schedules in this part of
the city. Three of the Illinois Central
tracks are under water north of Auction
street, although traffic has not been sus-
pended on them, but If the water continues
to rise. trouble is expected there.
At Ensley, six miles below here, 500 feet
of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley tracks
are inundated, but they were cribbed to-
day, and trains are running through. The
Choctaw Railroad has suspended opera
tions between Hopefield and Wolf river,
and all trains are being sent over the Mem
phiS bridge.
A dangerous place In the levee is re-
ported from Hollybush, twenty miles north
of here. Engineers of the st. Francis levee
board, with steamboat, went to the scene
this afternoon. 1t was found that the water
was running over the levee for a distance
of 600 feet. Men and material are being
sent there, and strong fight is being made
to hold the embankment, but 1t Is believed
by many that break will occur in a few
days.
Refugees and hundreds of horses and
mules continue to arrive on every train
Thousands of people lined the river banks
to-day watching the swift moving current
and several excursion steamers carried
many more up and down the river so a good
view of the vast expanse OF water could
be had
At midnight the gauge registered 1871 feet

is only two-tenths below the record of 1897.
but the sudden change from stormy weather
to sunshine and brightness has gtven re-
newed hope all along the line. Saturdays
terrific rain was a test in itself. and not a
sign of weakness was displayed. With
good weather more workers have been en-
listed and more work rushed, and even
those who were ready to surrender weak
places to the rivers rush have gained cour-
age and say any volume of water can be
met.
week ago it was thought there would
distance below Baton Rouge. There had
been a cave In the old levee and a long
new levee was started in the rear. This
was in process of construction when the
high water came. The new levee was then
abandoned and a smaller new levee was
built around the cave proper. During the
terrific rains il was feared the work could
not be completed, but several thousand
convicts and other laborers were kept busy,
the river was held back, and the task fin
ished when the storm was at its height.
Saturday Governor Heard made an inspec-
ton during the rain. He went there again
to-day. and is satisfied the danger is past.
In the city there Is great rejoicing be-
cause even with the record rain of eight
inches on Saturday, no water from the
river came over.
