RIVER CURRENT STRONG.
Heavy Rains Cause Rise, but Flood
Not Anticipated,

The heavy rains in the country about the
headwaters Of the Potomac are causing a
considerable current in the river, but the
river men do not expect it to reach it's full
force until tonight or tomorrow. large
volume of muddy water was rolling down
under the bridges this morning that con-
meet the Virginia shore with the District
The velocity of the water and the amount
of debris is expected to increase materially
by this evening, but 1t is not believed there
will be an unusually high river here. Re-
ports coming from the upper river state
that there has been a considerable rise In
the water. and that several of the tributa-
ries of the upper Potomac are out of their
banks. The river this summer has never
been clear, heavy rains having caused a
flow of mud sufficient in volume to cause
discoloration of the main body of the river
for many miles below this city.
