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. RANGES. I am agent tor South ern Queen Coal or Wood Ranges.
