OHIO RIVER PASSES DANGER
LINE AT MANY POINTS AND
is STILL RISING.
NAY EQUAL GREAT FLOOD OF 1884
TOWNS ALONG THAT STREAM
AND TRIBUTARIES LIKELY
TO BE INUNDATED.

Louisville, Jan. 1S-With the tribu-
taries of the Ohio pouring floods into
1t at all points south of Pittsburg and
the danger line reached and passed in
many places it is predicted that the
river will equal the flood stage of
1884. Rivers and creeks In Kentucky
are raging and much damage has been
done. Many small towns on smaller
rivers are threatened with inundation
and families are moving all their
goods. Rain has fallen In Louisville
almost daily for three weeks and the
Ohio, which has been rising rapidly,
during the day began to creep UP to-
wards Main street into the wholesale
district. The weather bureau an
nounces that the river will continue to
rise for the next several days, prob
ably reaching stage OF thirty-five
feet, which is seven feet above the
danger line.
A dispatch from Evansville, Ind,
says the river has risen one foot over
night and that rain Is falling. All
boats arriving bring refugees and cat
tie from the submerged country.
The river continued to rise during
the day at the rate Of two inches an
hour. The regular packet service be-
tween Cincinnati and Louisville, which
has not been interrupted for years,
was given up during the day, the
steamboats, being unable to pass under
the bridges. The federal government
has withdrawn several boats running
south, owing to the difficulty of max
ing landings, and it is believed that
all river traffic will be suspended in
side Of twenty-four hours.

many buildings all over the town cor
lapsed, burying hundreds Of persons
in the debris. OF these some were
killed, but the greater number were
injured and these later were rescued.
The first shock was followed by lighter
tremors and then fire started in the
ruins along the water front. The
flames spread rapidly, as the water
pipes had been broken and there was
nothing with which to fight the flames.
A strong wind was blowing and this
helped to spread the flames.
The fire ragged until an early hour
Tuesday morning, when luckily the
wind changed and the fire, having
nothing further to feed on. burned
itself out. All the buildings along
Duke, Port Royal, King and East
streets were wiped out by the flames.
The advices received here indicate
that order was soon restored In the
city, SO that the work Of rescue could
be begun. The two regiments of sol
diers stationed in the city were called
on to do police duty and they seem to
have performed this duty well. The
banks and other places where valuable
property is stored were quickly guard
ed. There have been some reports OF
looting, but late advices say this was
confined chiefly to petty thievery and
even this was speedily suppressed.
Hospitals Soon Overcrowded.
The rescue work was undertaken
under the direction of the soldiery and
the municipal authorities. The gen.
eral hospital, which was not seriously
damaged by the earthquake, was soon
filled with hundreds of the injured, as
were several temporary hospitals.
When these places were filled others
Of the injured were taken out to boats
In the harbor.
Hotels, banks, churches and office
buildings are, without exception, lev
eled In wreck and ruin. The treasury
was damaged, but Is still standing.
The city prison was destroyed, but
none of the prisoners was injured and
none escaped. The Port Royal bat
terry was wrecked and two artillery
men there were killed.
The people had premonition of
the coming disaster In the shape of a
violent wind storm. Their fears were
reused and many rushed from their
homes. This undoubtedly saved many
lives, as the people were still In the
streets when the earthquake came.
This Is especially true of the whites
and accounts for the small loss of life
among them. The loss Of life was
largest In the poorer sections OF the
city, so that most of the victims are
negroes.
1t Is Stated that there Is no imme-
diate danger of serious food famine.
Fruit is plentiful and surrounding
towns have begun to send In food.
The work of burying the dead was
begun Immediately, necessary pro-
ceeding in tropical country. Many
bodies have been buried without iden-
tification Scores Of bodies are still In
the ruins and from sanitary point of
view this causes alarm. Efforts to re-
cover the bodies are going on all the
time.

otherwise intact

because of the loss Of blood. At the
schoolhouse there were evidences OF q
struggle.

UNION STATION ABANDONED.
Ohio River at Cincinnati Continues to
Rise,

Cincinnati, JAN 18.-The Ohio river
continued to rise all night and there
Is no sign Of relief. The Grand Gen.
trail station, into which the Big -Four,
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern,
Queen and Crescent and some of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Louisville
and Nashville passenger trains usually
run, has been put out of business and
trains are started from the Eighth
street viaduct The tracks in the
Grand Central station are covered
with water and freight business Is
also crippled. At 8 a. m. the river
was at 56.3 and rising. The present
stage in this city prevents the pass
ing under the bridges of any steam
boats. Business In many factories has
had to be stopped and several hun
dred men are out of work.
