neon it was believed that the crest of
the big Ohio food was not far away.
Forecaster Bassler placed the proba-
BILE crest at not less than 63 feet, but
his estimates anticipated it's arrival
some time Monday afternoon.
The river, however, has been run
ming out very fast and the crest was
reported at Huntington, w. Va, Sun
day afternoon.
Losses cannot be given, although it
is asserted with some reason that
the damage may far exceed that in
the January flood because of the un-
usually large amount of mud carried
by the rive- at this time. In January
there was little of this and many SUBJ
merged factories lost less than had
been at first estimated. The present
flood, however, has come from un-
precedentedly heavy rains on a soft
soil, the result being an excessive
amount of mud which has settled on
all that it covered, SO that the loss
will go far in excess of winter flood.
Suffering Is Less.
The suffering, on the other hand,
has been somewhat lessened by the
,milder weather, although many thou
sands have been driven from their
homes.
The Cincinnati administration has
asked for authority to issue bonds to
the extent of $15O,000 for the relief
iof flood sufferers, and a much larger
sum will be required.
The city suffered a loss of about
f$15O,0OO early in the day by the col
haps1ng of the Eighth street v1aduct
over the railroads of the Mill Creek
section of the city. Three 5O-foot
spans of this viaduct went down into
the flood, but the high water is not
believed to have been the sole cause
of the disaster.
At a Stand at Portsmouth.
Portsmouth, O., March 18-At night
fall Sunday che Ohio was at a stand
here, lacking but three inches of
PREACHING the January stage of 81 feet
with over one-third of the city sub
merged. Thousands of people put in
the day boat riding through the pran-
cipal streets. The Ohio is certain to
recede rapidly and factories and bust
ness houses hope to resume Tuesday,
There have been no fatalities report
ed and little or no actual suffering.
The railroads have been the chief suf-
ferers and dozens of bloodhound pas
Esengers are quartered at local hotels
Situation at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 1S.-With 80
miles of ice in the Allegheny river
above Parker, Pa, and drizzling rain
throughout western Pennsylvania Sun
day night, local rivermen are looking
forward to another flood stage in this
city. Although the Monongahela and
Ohio rivers are slowly falling, the AL
legheny river is stationary. Prepare
tions are being made here to pre-
vent any serious damage when the ice
gorge arrives.
BY special permission, a majority
of the mills and manufacturing plants
which were closed for three days by
the recent high water were in opera
ton Sunday. The plants will be op
Grated double time in an effort to
make up the time lost.
Monday hundreds of business
houses in the downtown district will
resume. The work of cleaning the de-
bris from the interiors of these build
ings was completed Sunday. Train
service has been restored.
