History.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 16.-All
along the Ohio river from Pittsburg to
Cairo people are hoping that it will not

the skies are overcast. A downpour of
any degree would start the Ohio rising
again, The river is falling, but at q
rate that has been scarcely perceptible.
If nothing happens to send the waters
up again, it is believed that the fall will
be rapid by Sunday.
The crest of the food is now pass
ing through the lower Ohio. and the
stage Of the river there is within a foot
of the highest mark ever known.
Thousands of people are in dire
straits in the food lowlands, and from
every town and city along the river
boats are being sent out continuously
to patrol the waters and pick up the
sufferers. Hundreds of refugees have
been brought in, many of them having
been rescued from the upper stories or
roofs.
1t is feared that when the story of
the flood is told heavy loss OF life will
be revealed.
