Two Million Dollars Worth of
Property in Danger.
River Is Highest In History During
Ice Gorge Season, II Is
Said.
GORGEs ARE AT MANY PLACES

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.--Fully So
100000 worth of floating property in
the Cincinnati harbor lies exposed
| to the will of the gorges OH the Ohio
river and owners and officials of the
steamboat companies admit that the
situation is more critical than ever
ia the local annals of navigation.
The break in the main gorge may
take place at any time and yet there
are chances that the ice will hold
for days.
On the latter the river men are
rot building any hopes. When dark
less fell last evening the crude re-
cording gauges of each riverman re
corded close on to 80 feet of water
in the harbor proper. This means
there is about IL feet of backwater
from Modoc bar, about 10 miles be-
low Cincinnati to points above this
city. On the action of this water de-
ponds the fate of the heavy inter-
ests of numerous steamboat and coal
companies.
The present stage of the river is
the highest in gorge history. The
only other instance of the Ohio riv-
or closing upon a larger body of wa
ter was at Evansville, Ind, IL years
ago. At that time the stream closed
up for three days. This held for
three days and threatened the ex-
lstence of that town. Last year the
gorges in the local harbor held until
the stages recorded 22.6 feet. This
was regarded as unusual.
1t is pointed out that heavy ruin
will visit floating property should
the shore ice move out when the
main body goes out as It is claim
ed most ofsthe boats and fleets are
row resting upon several layers of
ice. They will be unable to move the
property out at the proper time, as
the ice is reported to be from four
to twenty feet thick.
John Henderson. president of the
Pittsburg and Cincinnati Packet Co.,
and Capt. j. F. Ellison of the same
firm, are confident that their line of
steamers, now lying at the foot of
Broadway will be able to face the
breakup. The boats of the White
Collar line, the Memphis and Cincin-
natl and the Big Sandy Packet Co.,
are lying between Sycamore and
Walnut streets. With the exception
of the City of Cincinnati and the
Bonanza this fleet is in good shape,
The former is lying with her stern
extending out into the river, The
Bonanza may be forced upon the
bank in the decline of the river. The
Avalon at the foot of Vine street,
ha sheayy ice under her, River men
claim that the Henry NJ Stanley,
Sunshine, Wells and other steamers
lying near the mouth of the Licking
are in better shape than the boats
m the main stream, as the former
cannot run out on the present stage
Of the Ohio, The Licking is frozen to
he bottom at Walton and is only COW
red with surface ice from the mouth
20 the c., and o. railroad bridge in
cOvington.
Reports from Maysyille indicate
hat the Tacoma and the Big Kama
wha are on the ice with the wharf
1oat at that place. Their condition is
critical, The float at Lawreneeburg
broke away late Sunday, but was
'aptured by the towboat Miller and
anded, The river at the latter place
Is free from gorged ice for two miles.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth

mucous surface.

Heavenly Bodies "keeIins Over" Says
Astronomer,

Z Boston, March 13.-Got that sinking
sensation this, morning? Don't be a.
Harmed. It isn't the approach of
spring.. The earth's tipping, that's all.
Professor William II. Pickering of
Harvard University, one of the ablest
Of astronomers, has discovered in the
heavens what amounts almost to a ce-
lestial scandal and old Mother Earth
is as deeply involved as any.
Professor Pickering took his eyes
from the telescope last night long en-
ough % gossip about the doings out
in the tar beyond.
Jupiter Bad Performer.
Jupiter, instead of revolving the way
In which the astronomers have declar-
ed for years 1t was doing, has shown
. reversal Of form. 1t is now going
the other way.
Its nladcap example has been fol-
lowed by saucy Saturn with the rings,
and the force of example has turned
Mother Earth's head until she is one
of the most abandoned of all.
Neptune. because 1t has little to do
with the sun, is the most staid of the
entire heavenly outfit, It's tippy, how
ever, but only to the extent Of few
degrees.
Professor chickering's theory, devel-
oped by reason of the retrograde mo-
ton of Phoebe, ninth satellite of Sat
urn, which was discovered by the pro-
lessor In March, 1899, does not sur
prise certain clubmen nor a certain
student element in Harvard.
In the beginning 1t was claimed all
was chaos Then a central point of
conference was established about which
ultimately the sun, with a wide ring
OF loose matter, was evolved. Grad
ually this ring was broken up into
small bits, each of which, like the sun,
found a central coherent point. about
which the planets and satellites grew
and formed themselves.
