IT SURPRISES GINCINNATI | ed No Such Dis= ons ax Now Pre- CINCINNATI, April 20.—FPeculiar weather conditions duriug the week have culmi- vated In a rain and snow storm of almost unprecedented dimensions, so distributed that a tremendous flood in the Ohio river is impending. 1t is too early to predict the extent of the coming flood, but all sigus point to a stake of water that must bring devastation of a most serious nature all along the Ohio river and its tributaries in Ohlo, West Virginia and Kentucky. The condition is something of & surprise 8 Cinginnatl becpuse, while thete bae been raln almost every day In the week, it was not heavy enough to create apprehension. But, above Cincinnati, in Kentucky and ' West Virginta, flood rains were: falling as early as Wednesday, and. over a vast ex- tent of the Ohio river valley watershed it was continuous. This heavy rain served to cause;n rise In the Ohio river, untit thi morning It was rising all the way from Pittsburg to Louisville. . Following these rains came the. tre- mendous gnowfall of last night, which reached from Canada to Atlants, with its western border less than 100 miles from Cinctnnatl, By its mere welght and by the force of the wind in many places there was almost a complete paralysis of all wire communication, across this snow belt today. From twelve to fifteen inches of snow lies over eastern Ohio and over the greater part of West Virginia and eastorn Ken- tucky. This is supplemented by heavy rain Ju the reglon gf the headwaters of the Obio Y. "P"l‘.ha weather bureau official is confident that. the raln must cease today, but with warmer, weather tomorrow the vast snow area will melt and add to the great vol- ume of water, It is, therefore, easily pos- sible for a flood of disastrous proportions to sweep down the Ohlo valley within the next few days, It s estimated that- a stage of forty-two feet at Cincinnath, will be reached by tomorrow. Al agree that fitty feet will surely come, -How much more .cannot. be conjectured until further developments. . Telegraphic communication today with New, York was almost entirely cut off.

CLEVELAND, April 20. — The terrific storm of wind and snow which prevalled in this city and vicinity today was one of the most disastrous.to telephone and tele- aph service ever experienced here, The wind, which came. from the porth, reached at times a velocity of more than sixty miles an hour. Hundreds of poles were torn down and wire communication with all polnts east of Cleveland was entirely cut off. The conditions west and south were but little better, although the tele- graph companies succeeded fn maintaining communication with Chicago and Cincin- nati throughout the day. Many -of the streets of the wity were strewn with broken poles and tangled wired, Several persons were severely shocked by coming in contact with live wires. TFive or six horses were instantly killed by stepping on wires concealed under the deep slush and snow. In some cases suburban electric roads were completely tied up owing to the im- mense snowdrifts on the tracks. No less than eight or nine fire stations were cut off from headquarters owing to the: general prostration = of/ wives, and should a fire break out In the (solated dis- tricts it fo feared that great loss would foliow. The pecuniary loss suffered by the telegraph and. telephone companies will be very heavy. Lake Erle was carried into-a wild fury by the violent satorm. Enormous waves dashed over the harbor breakwater, sending up spray to the height of 100 feet or more. A crtb 200. feet long and about . 25 feet wide, which was anchored at the end of the east breakwater preparatory to being sunk, was torn from its fastening and driven ashore inside the west breakwater, The erib crashed Into the west pler, but lit- tle damage resulted. . With the exception of the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate lines w of Cleveland the rallroads into Cleveland are badly crippled and in many instances the where- abouts of freight trains, which are sup- posed to have gone onto sidings, because of lost time, are not know: East of Cleveland the Lake Shore and Nickel Plate are also badly crippled. Trains on thice different roads due in Cleveland this fore- mnoon had not been reported at 8 o'clock tonight. The storm continues in Cleveland to- night with unusual severity. There is a steady downfall of wet snow, driven by a high wind. The downtown streets were practically deserted and little business was done.

Reports from Bristol, Va., this afternoon were that a dangerous flood was raging about eighty miles east of that place. A forty-foot bridge ou the Nor- folk & Western railroad was washed away near Wytheville, Va., and for elght or ten miles the track is from three to six feet under water. Many washouts were reported and several trains were annulled. At last reports snow was still falling at Bristol. The Big Sundy, Twelve Pole, Guyandotte, Tug and New rivers are at floodtide and many thousands of logs have been swept away. In West Virginia over a foot of snow has fallen in the last thirty-six hours. Near Blacksburg, S. C., a town.on the Bouth Carolina & Georgia Extension rail- road, the track was undermined by ths high water and today a combination freight and passenger train ran into the washout. One trainman was badly hurt and the other is missing. The water in all the streams about Blacksburg is higher than has been known in twenty years. Throughout the entire southeast the tel- egraph and telephone services are jn a badly crippled condition. At Atlanta, where high winds have been prevailing for days, the maximum was reached this morn- ing when the velocity recorded was fifty- six miles an hour. The mercury has fallen nearly forty degrees and indications are that small gardening bas suffered. DRUNKEN NEGROES RIOTING Crazedl wi to th nor They Add orrors of Curnegic's Situati PITTSBURG, April 20.—-Carnegie, six miles southwest of Pittsburg, is in a state of panic. To add to the excitement, a number of negroes got drunk on liquor ng carried ffom the cellars of saloons. Chief of Police Foster tried to arrest three of them, ,when they attacked him with razors, cutting® him severely. The fire bells were rung and the citizens turned out, They suppressed the negroes and arrested three of them. Carnegie is In the worst condition from flood in its hiz- tory. Much of the trouble at Carnegle was caused by the breaking of the Panhandle railroad bridge over Chartres creek at The debris floated down to the Third street bridge and blocked there. This backed the water up into the main thoroughfares and skiffs had to be used on all the business streets. A number of works were compelled to shut down, the plants being under water. Every cellar in the town is flooded and many outhouses have been washed away. = Several persons fell into the water, but were saved. The town is in darkness and the people are treezing. The gas and electricity are shut off and the coal is under water. At Heldelberg, a mile from Carnegie, the two-story dwelling of Peter Tice was washed away. Tice and his wife, the only occupants, escaped, EXPOSITION LITTLE Some Roofs of der 8 HURT ilass Gilve Way w's Welght, but That is AlL BUFFALO, April 20.—Under the influence of a steady downpour of rain, which started about 4 o'clock, and a rising temperature, the eight to twelve inches of snow which fell in this city and outlylng districts is dlsappearing as rapidly as it came. The rivers and streams were In a normal con- dition before the storm and (hey are carry- ing off the flood of water without a serious rise. The southern shoro of Lake Erie be- tween bere and Cleveland appears to bave caught the brunt of the storm. It was sald tonight that not a single tel- egraph wire had been restored between here and Cleveland. Messages were sent by special messenger to Cleveland tonight by the telegraph companies and a batch left Cleveland at the same time to be relayed from here to eastern points. Beyond the delay caused by the storm (he damage at the Pan-American grounds is slight. Some roofs of glass gave way under the weight ot snotv, but these can be quickly repaired. Mines and Mills Flooded. PITTSBURG, April 20.—Thirty mines of the Pittsburg Coal company were fooded last night and today by the heavy rains and the company is having much dificulty in pumping out the water. The mines of the Monongahela River, Consolidated Coke and Coal company are also flooded. The high stage of the water has stopped work at nearly all mines on the Monongahela ‘river. At New Castle the Shenango river over- flowed this afternoon near the ceater of the manufacturing districts and caused the Shenango tin mill, the largest in the world, and the Baldwin & Graham stove foundry to close. A few hours later the big steel mill was also forced to stop work. Marictta Wil Be Inundated.

ANOTHER FLYING MACHINE Dennys Are Bul Spaniard DUMBARTON, April 20.—A fiying ma- chine was referred to in Mr. Denny's speech at the launching luncheon. The machine was designed by a voung Spaniard named Vergara. The machine now building will be completed and iried within a fortnight. Senor Vergara is modest and reticent re- garding his invention, but it can be judged that it must possess no little practicabil- ity and new ideus to induce a hard-headed firm like the Dennys to take it up. Senor Vergara said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: “My plan is quite simple and my machine is equally so. It is constructed on the same principle which enables birds to fly.
