RACING WATERS
Damage Done by The Ohio
River
COUNTS TO MILLIONS.
Washes on Railroads Cause
Bad Wrecks.
Cincinnati, 0., March 24—A
peculiar and remarkable Hood is
filling the banks of the Ohoi riv
er. It is peculiar from the fact
that from Wheeling to Cairo no
tributary on the left bank of the
river makes tfie slightest contri
bution to this great freshet. Hail
the inpour of waters from
streams on the left bank been
equal to that of those on the
right the Hood would have
equaled that of 1884, and per
hape surpassed it.
As already shown in Associa
ted Press dispatches, the stage
of water at Pittsburg is phenom
enal. There has been steady rain
here since last Saturday, during
whicn time 2.46 inches have fal
len at this point. News from cen
tral points in Indiana and from
Springfield, Troy, Urbana and
Zanesville, 0., indicate a fall
of from 21 to 4| inches at these
places with one half the precipi
tation within the last thirty six
hours.
Nearly all railroads in central
and southern Ohio are either
crippled or totally disabled lor
the present. This is because of
washouts, dangerous and de
stroyed bridges and the like. All
over Ohio and Indiana, except
perhaps in the extreme northorn
parts, railroad traffic is demoral
ized.
The Muskeegon, Hocking,
Scioto and the two Miami rivers
in Ohio seem likely to break the
record from source to mouth for
high stages of water an 1 for
damage and destruction. Re
ports from Indiana indicate that
the same may be said of rivers
and streams in that state .
Last night at Cincinnati a
drizzling rain was falling and
the clouds were threatening. The
stage of the river at 9 o’clock
last night was forty-seven feel
and six inches, a rise of nine
inches in three hours. It will
be over 50 feet high by night
and without further rains will
probably reach fifty-five feet.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 24.
—The reports coming in today
from all over the state concern
ing the damage done by the
floods will send the aggregate
loss into the hundreds of thou
sands. Perhaps the figures may
reach $1,000,000,000. Houses
and crops have been washed
away.
Train wrecks have been re
ported from different parts of
the state and railroad traffic in
and out of the city is demoral
ized.
At Shelbyville last night the
river levee broke and the resi
dence portion of the city was
flooded, causing considerable
loss.
Martinsville and Columbus
are isolated, from the rest of
the state for the time being, and
from many other points came
tales of great woe.

SPRING OPTING
i Manager Marvin Preparing
For Next Sunday
. SUMMER STREET BARS
j Will Be Put On, the Weather
Permitting.
, With a splendid force of skilled
j artizana at work renovating the
summer cars and constructing
new ones, the scene about the City
Electric Co’s power bouse is an
animated one.
k
Yesterday afternoon an enter
prising Hustler-Commercial re
porter invaded those precincts
held sacred sgainst all other class
of loafers and procee led or. an im
promptu and informal tour of iu
! spection.
Manager Marvin, as the uewt
paper management has said be
fore, is the right man at the right
place. This was clearly demon
strated by the clock-like manner
in which the work of building and
reconstruction was being pushed.
New trucks have been ordered for
some of the cars while aU of the
summer cars are being renovated
remodeled and rebuilt.
Mr. Haivey Wood, the painter
is dressing out the cars as fast as
they are turned over to him from
the shop department.
Will W. F. Kane the most ar
tistic sign painter in 17 states ih
doing the lettering and numbering
to the Queen’s taste.
Manager Marvin says that, the
weather permitting and no unfore
seen accident h j will run the open
cars and begin the summer service
on Sunday. The cars in their
Easter dresses of paint look clear
out of sight.
A FINE OPERA.
“Wang” is On For Friday
Night.
“Wang” in all its royal mag
nificence, absolutely new and
accurate costumes and scenery,
is coming next Friday evening
at the opera house for one night
only.
“Wang” is now on its final
cour, and this engagement will
positively be the farewell visit
of the famous opera in our city.
The part of “Wang” the regent
' of Siam, could hardly be better
1 filled than by J. W. Kingsley,
who achieved great success in
1 that part last season.
Ten of the prettiest girls in
“Wang” introduce a chorus of
banjos that arouses great en
thusiasm nightly. These clever
■ girls iepresent the daughters of
1 the French consul at Bangkok,
• Siam, and that their banjos are
’ twanged for the entertainment
s of a number of envoys from the
I Icing of Burmah.
These who intend going should
■ secure seats at once as they are
f going rapidly. Prices $1.50,
i $1.25 and 50c to gallery.
Don’t miss the treat of the
season.
