THE OITI.OOK GLOOM V.

J.nlrr. The conservative men who yes-terday were unwilling to K'lmit that "lastyear's Hood would be duplicated now can-not be found. To-da- y there is no longera doubt that the water w ill reach histyear's hight. On the contrary, with therain still falling.and the weather mild, theonly question now is hy how much lastyear'B Hood will be exceeded. The mostalarming feature of the present situationis the rapidity of the rise. Last year,when the river had reached this bight itwas rising less than an inch an hour. Atnoon y the gauge shows fifty-nin- e

feet four inches, a rise of seven inches inthe last hour. This is unprecedented atsuch a high stage, end shows what a pro-digious rainfall there haslieen. With lastyear's experience, merchants and manu-facturers will lose much less than then.No time now is wat ted in pumping waterfrom cellars. F.vcry available man andteam is employed where the water mayencroach in placing the goods on higherMoors and in removing to higher ground.Business is completely suspended through-or- .t

all the lower part of the city.The tSrand Central railroad bridgeis abandoned. The Ohio and Missis-sippi railroad has its eastern terminusat Aurora, Ind., and will run a steamerbetween that point and Stores Station,and thence by omnibus. The Cincinnati,Washington and Baltimore trains will usethe Cincinnati, Hamilton and Iaytondepot. This can be used until the w'aterreaches sixty-si- feet, then trains willhave to stop at tho etoctr-yard- s. The HeeLine traius will make that their terminus

The Panhandle and iouis-villean- d

Nashville can use their depotuntil tho water reaches sixty-tw- o feet.The Cincinnati Southern will not betroubled in reaching its Mel-ea- streetdepot until the water g.its higher than itwas last year, but it eattAot reach its sidetracks to do freight buainess. Tho Cin-cinnati, Indianapolis, St. bonis andChicago bids fair to be shut out altogether,unless arrangements can lie made to reachthe city t ia Kushvillo and over the Cin-cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton raMroad.The Ciueinnati Northern and Toledo,Cincinnati and St. are tho onlvroads that cannot lie reached hy the flood.This morning the warehouse of" the Duck-worth distillery was undermined and fellinto tho water, causing a largo loss. Soonaf er the cattle pens ior feeding thousandsof cattle were swept away. They had re-moved the cattle yesterday, heavy.

The Chamber of Commerce transactedbut little business Measures weretakea to provide a relief fund for the des-titute. A committee of fifteen was

and the secretary was kept busyfjr some time receiving subscriptions,mostly of $100 each. The Chamber itselfappropriated $5tX0 to the fund. The healt hothoer announced that he would place lif-te-

men of the sanitary force at the dis-posal of the relit f committee. Klin isstill falling, the wind fro:n the sout':, andthe temperature not falling.

'2 O'clock P.M. The Timn-Sta- r specialsfrom Butler, Ky., say the Licking river isrising three inches an hour, and w ithintwenty-thre- e inches of the high water lastyear. At Jetfersonvilte, Ind., there is greatconsternation, and people are moving tohigher ground. The railroad embankmentwill probably break ht and flood thotown. At lronton, O., the river is forty-si- x

feet three inches and rising; raining.At Catlettsburg, Ky., it has risen threefeet since noon yesterday, rising an inchan hour. The Big Sandy is rising slowly ;eighteen feet at Ixuisa.

2:30 O'clock P.M. River fifty-nin- e feetseven and a half inches; rising fourinches an hour; raining.

9 O'Clitet P.M. Sixty feet eight andone-ha- lf inches is the record at this hour,and rising two inches an hour. The rainhas almost stopped. This is a rise of sixfeet six and one-hal- f inches in the pasttwenty-fou- r hours. The water lias stoppedstreet-ca- r travel between Cincinnati andCovington and Newport.

Skill's will be carrying passengers to thesuspension bridge before morning. Thelower part of the city is already sub-merged, and hundreds, perhaps a thou-sand houses, have been invadedon the first floors by water.

It has been remarked that business mensho bluett less anxiety now than lastyear, although the promise y is thatthe flood will be greater than last year.They have submitted to the inevitablewith good grace, and will suffer compara-tively small loss, aside from the cost ofremoving goods and the suspension ofbnainvss. There is even strong talkoi raisins ths to "rounds of th5city . tbove flood bights, - as onetneans of averting future troubleof this kind. Relief work has been startedpromptly, with the determination thatCincinnati shall take care of her ownpoor. The committee of fifteen appointedby the Chamber of Commerce held a nieeUinthis afternoon and put the machineryin immediate motion ior taking care of allcases of distress. Two eirjUriknTd andcHicient men, i. L. W eek and C. W. Iiow-lan- d,

were sent out at once to organize afood supply, and they will allow no worthyperson to go hungry. This work isnearly two days in advance oflast year's record in this direction. Thepurpose is to prevent the necessity for re-lief ns far as possible. The gas workseloBed when the water reached sixty feet.There is gas in the mains ami meterssutiicient for but nightrecourse will be taken to lamps, candlesand electric lights. This fact has givenrise to many queries, whether the operafestival and Mapleson's opera, announcedto begin next Monday, will be postponed.The Music Hall managers sav the opera fes-tival will not be postponed. 1hey have madearrangements for a gas supply independentof the city gas w orks, and there will be nopostponement on any account. Ilenck'snew operahouso, w here Mnpleson appears,will have the. electric, light. One greatsource of trouble will be tlie water famine.Tho engines of the waterworks arejwork- -

lng now with diUicnlty, and will be en-tirely disabled with five or six feet more.There will doubtless be an order(stopping all manufactories that usesteam from running, in order to save thewater supply as much as possible. It isdifficult to get men to make predictions,but the general opinion is that the rivermust exceed the highest stage of last year,sixty-si- x feet four inches. The railwaysituation is unchanged. The floors of the( i rand Central depot, tlie Ohio and Mis-sissippi depot and the transfer depot aroall weighted with iron to keep them frombeing lifted by the water. No freightis received. Tho Lit'l'e Miami depotIs inaccessible for trains. The otherroads are running as previously announced.Newport and the towns on the Kentuckyshore above are already deep in water.Families have been busy removing goodsin wagons as long as possible, and after-ward in skills. No casualties reported.Lawrencetjurg, ind., is cut olt Irom com-munication by railroad, telegraph and tel-ephone. There were grave fears of muchdamage if the new levee should break.

11 O'Clock P.M.- - River sixty feet nineand a half inches at 10 o'clock p.m.', andnow stands sixty feet eleven inches by thegustjre.

2 O'Clock A.M. River sixty-on- e feet oneinch, and still rising.

twenty-liv- e towns up the Maumee Valleywit hin 100 miles of Toledo indicate a rain-fall of varying severity during the twelvehours ending at noon to ihy. This after-noon it raining only slightly. Tlie riverhere as yet is but little above the ordinarystage. The ice in the Auglaize at Defiance,O., broke up thi3 afternoon. A gorgeformed, but soon gave way, and at latestreports the river was rising rapidly at thatfont and overflowing the banks in lii-- t

e:iance. At South Toledo tho river rosetwo feet in twenty-fou- r hours ending at(i o'clock p.m., and is still rising, with in-dications of the ice giving Way. Propertyalonat th river front here lias been

as ffr as possible against the flood.At Sandusky and at Fremont the river isrising slowly. Tha tracks of the Wheel-ing and Lake Erie road are under w ater,and may impede travel. No fears at pres-ent are felt for the Bafety of bridges.Cold weather is promised, and will surelycheck the flow of water in the Maumee,postponing, if not entirely averting, a dis-astrous flood.

LOUISVILLE.

ISreat Exelfement Over the ContinuedKlr of the River.Louisville, February 6. It looks as

though the flood of last year was to be re-peated. The river at noon was thirty-fou- rfeet :n the canal, and rising at the rate offour inches an hour. Shippingport andPortland are flooded alrtady. Over SCO

people are driven out of their homes. Thogovernment building is the only bouse notsubmerged in Shippingport. "Four morefeet of water wiil bring the flood over thecut-oi- l' above tho city, and the "point" w illbe flooded with great loss of property, per-haps lives. It has been raining steadilynearly all day. The Kentucky river is stillrising rapidly at Frankfort. Considerableexcitement is prevailing, and the riverbanks are thronged with people. No lossof life reported yet.

A Frankfort noon special says it rainedwithout intermissionall day yesterday and.last night and is still pouring'dowu a flood.The river rose three feet six inches lastnight and one foot six inches since day-light to now, 12 :o0 o'clock p.m. It nowstands at twenty-fou- r feet six incht sin the channel by the bridge piermarks. Advices fro;n Clay's Ferry, tenmiles above here, by river, "reported riv-fallin-

there yesteiday, but then it wasalso falling at this city. Mr. GeorgeMacklen, tlie coal dealer, and best in-formed man on river news, says he doesnot apprehend a flood at this point.

Xiyhl. At 6 o'clock the river is risingthree inches an hour, with thirty-fiv- e feetin the canal and thirty-thre- e feet on thefalls, and raining steadily. The eopleliving in the lKn. are expecting thewater over the cut-of- f by morning, and (are moving out to escape tho inundationthat caught them sleeping on the night ofFebruary 12, ISS", and which caused somuch ilaiimge.

WHEELING

A Flood Equal to Ik ramou Rie crIh.'I- - l i(K-lr-l.

Wiikki.ino, W. Ya., February 6. Theriver hero is forty feet, and still rising atthe rite of ten inches an hour. Manylow streets on the island and south ofWheeling creek are already submerged,many houses lieing surrounded and a lewinvaded by the waters. A tlood as greatas the famous one of 1X2 is expected,and residems of exposed localities areabandoning their houses and merchantsremoving their stocks to safety. Two orthree mills and factories have In en sto-p- ed

by the water reselling the fires. Thegas is already si ml oil from the island, andthe gas works will no donbt be interferedwith and the entire supply shut off by to-night. Most of the mills will lie stoppedby the water by evening. The 1'., W. andK. railway track is submerged for a shortdistance along the wharf. Railroadbridges and trestles are loaded down withheavy trains. Communication with thesuburbs will be seriously interfered withthis afternoon and the damage to thetrestles of the P., W. and K. and tho C,1.. ami W. roads on the two shies of theriver is apprehended. Frederick F.isel, aiiennan, agctl sixteen, was touml Urownedat Benwood this morning.

Xujltt. The river has been rising all dayat the rate of about eight inches an hour,and there is now a depth of forty-fou- r

feet. The Seventh Ward of the city, lyingon Wheeling Island, is almost entirelysubmerged, and the inhabitants, in manyCases, have abandoned their homes, andin others moved to the second floor, andreach their dwellings in ekiflls. The low

portions of the First and Eighth Wards,the north and south ends of the cit3have been under watej ",! rtay( Bna'he river is how encroaching on thebusiness streets, in the heart of the city.The Main street bridge of the Baltimoreand Ohio and P., W. and K. railroadbridges over Vt heeling creek are in thewater, and two bridge over Caldwell .8

run, near tiie south end, are also covered.The railroads are under water in somHplaces,, and travel altogether suspended,Ho mall is received or delivered, and thefrocks have been taken off the mail boxesto prevent them becoming clogged withmail. Freight is refused, by. tilllines. Street-ca- r travel stopped on all thelines by noon. No serious damage has re-

sulted so far iii the city. At Benwood,Frederick Hagan, a boy aged sixteen years,was walking on the track, when lie slippedand fell into a hole forty feet deep andwas drowned. At Mavnard, O. ManyCosta, aged seventeen years, was on a footbridge, when someDody slionted it wasfalling, and in her fright she fell from thebridge and was drowned. Neither bodyhas been recovered. Bridgeport, Martin'sFerry and Bellaire, O., are largely sub-merged. At the latter place the gas isshut off. At the Wheeling creekcoal mines tlie works and housesare surrounded, snd. the., housesthreatened with destruction. The Balti-more and Ohio; C;, L. and V.; P., W. andK. and C. and P. depots, on both sides ofthe river, are edrrounded or flooded. 1 heiron works in the vicinity have been com-pelled to shut down hy the water in theengine-room- Hie inhabitants ot the

ClrentPittsbiro, February '. The fivers at

this point passed the danger line lastnight, and at noon y had reachedthirty-on- e feet six inches, the higheststage since 1852. Dispatches from thehend-J-nter- oi both tiie rivers report thewater still rising, w hile hei-'- it is creepingup on to the streets at the fate of eightinches in hour. Miles of property in thiscity on the South Side and in Alleghenyis submerged, and hundreds of familiescompelled to vacate their houses. Ailmills and factories on the banks of bothrivers have suspended operations, andcommunication between Pittsburg andAllegheny by street-car- s is entirely cutOft. Ttn: school in tlie First nnd FourthWards cloned. On Puqttesne railway thewater rovers the ofiiee and furniture ofthe Robinson Ilouee, and is within onefoot of tile first floor of the Duquesnedepot. Merchants oh Water street havemoved their goods to the second floors, aprecaution which has never been neces-sary for them to take before. Railroadtraffic on all river towns is greatly retard-ed, and the Baltimore and Ohio, Pittsburgand Lake Krie, Pittsburg and Western,Pittsburg, MeKeespcrt and Youngstown.West Pennsylvania and Allegheny V'alieyrailroads, have either suspended entirely,or will be compelled to before evening.So far there have been no indi-vidual losses here and the damage isconfined exclusively to flooding property.The greatest suffering and damage "is

reported in this vicinity. It comes fromthe Voughioghcny region, where mininghamlets a id that portion of the towns lyingon the low lands have been inundatedandhundreds of f.imiiies have been forced todesert their homes and fly b jfore tha com-ing flood. In Borne places it was foundnecessary to anchor dwellinghouses to thetrees an t rocks to keep them from driftingofl' to destruction. The scene along theroute of the great gorge, which extendsthirty miles up the Youghicgheny river,beggars desrripti m. The streets and door--yards are pi.e 1 full of ice, with dehrm heapspiled in many instances htteen and twentyfeet high, standing as silent monument-- !

to the might ot the tlood. So far as canbe learned no lives have been lost, but thetotal damage will reach thousands andthousands of dollars. Specials from Wash-ington, Ya., fay the railroad bridge, atBridgeville, was washed away, but no se-rious accidents are reported. Beaver riverrose suddenly yester.lay, and carried offabout i ),utm worth of lumber.

2 O'Cloi k P.M. Allegheny river is thirty-t-

hree feet two inches, antl the Monon-gahel- athirty-tw- o feet four inches, and.

rising about six inches an hour. Tele-grams from headwaters report the riversstill rising at all points but Greensboro,where it is stationary. Rain has beenfalling almost without a moment's cessation since Monday afternoon, and frothe present indications the flood w""greater than that of 1832, wheu waterreached thirtv-fiv- e feet, tl" highest everknown here. All 'e lower partof Allegheny is onA water, and it is esti-mated that I."O0 houses in Allegheny Cityalone are inundated hy water, and the gasmipply on the So-t- h and Siuth Side hasbeen cut oil", and if the rise continues afew hoars longer I'ittsburg will be withouteither. Fears are entertained that thestreet bridge over the Allegheny will bewashed away. It was declared unsafe thismorning, and travel was suspended. If thewater carries it off it will probably takewith it the railroad and Itond streetbridges. Only one fatality reported up tothis hour. An unknown man was drownedin the Monoiigahela river, at the font ofShort street. It is thought he committedsuicide.
