Mill CruoK Valley, ., n l'laco of Dentl:
tutloii.
Cincinnati, Feb. 24. The presence of
n destructive Hood is felt liere very per
ceptibly today. While estimates here
tofore limited the flood to sixty feet, de
velopments today make it appear that
figure will be exceeded. Incoming pase
engcis on the roads that use the Grand
Central depot were compelled to debark
nt Eight-street transfer depot.
Up Mill Creek valley one of the sad
dest ulghta is tno utter destruction of
vast areas of hotbeds, where innumer
able vegetable gardeners earn a living.
Every foot of the rise from now on adds
vastly to the discomfort and loss that
must ensue to families driven to the up
per stories or out of their homes.
Wnters are Itecerilng
FiTTsnuno, Feb. 24. The great flood
has done its worst, and the waters are
uow recoiling. A cold wave broke the
back of the flood. Reports from all
points between Pittsburg and the head
waters indicate ttie danger passed.
The river in this vicinity reached a high
er stage than at any time since 1S84.
The Monongahela registered 29 feet C in
ches, and the Allegheny ."0 feet 9 inches.
At 10 o'clock this morning the water
had fallen a foot since midnight.
Haidly a point on the Monongahela
river from Fairmount to Pittsburg
escaped damage. Mills built supposed
ly out of harm's way were submerged.
The damage is not less thau $1,500,000
in the Monongahela valley.
From the head waters of the Youghog
heny also came a torrent that brought
destruction to valuable property. The
railroads were unable to move trains.
Trolley lines were badly wrecked.
Beneath several feet of debris there are
millions of dollars worth of valuable
machinery. Poor people who live in
small houses along the banks have been
made utterly homeless.
In McKeesport the damage will ex
ceed $500,000. In tliis city the water
covered Duquesne way trom Ninth street
to the Point. On the North Side (Alle
gheny) over 3000 people were cooped up
in the second story of their homes, all
night prisoners, tho only means of
escape being by boat. Many Allegheny
manufacturing concerns were rendered
idle.
Deafness C.-inuoc lie Cured
!by local applications, as they cannot
Teach the diseased portion of the ear.
'There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless tho inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine eas;s out of ten are caused
by catarrii, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused ly catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hull's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Washington-, Feb. 24 Senator But
ler, from the committee on postoflices
and postroads, today made a minority
report, proposing a substitute for the
Loud secund-chua matter bill. The sub
stitute provides for tho purchase of rail
road cars for transportation of maile, de
claring it to be the policy of tho United
States to carry mail in cars belonging to
tho government, and pay tho railroads
mileage rates for hauling them. Sena
tor Butler gas in his reuort that to make
the changes provided for in the Loud
bill would be to leap into the dark, and
the adoption of his substitute would
cover all tho evils complained of.

A wild boar hunt was the exciting
sport a number of the young men of
South Jacksonville had looked forward
to last week with a great deal of pleas
ure. The wild boar was a razorback
hog. He was installed in a ncn und fed
red pepper, gunpowder and dynamite,
and became as fierce as his reputed
cousin of the Black Forest.
On the day of the hunt a cavalcade as
sembled at the meeting place armed
with javelins and spears made of bam
boo, with hunting knives tied to the
end.
The wild boar was liberated and
trotted away into tho woods. He
squealed a half contented, inquisitive,
where's-the-rest-ot-my-family sort of a
squeal, with no thought of the pur
suers, who spurred and whipped their
horses into furious pursuit.
The wild boar trotted along just
simply and cooly trotted. He didn't
look as if he were going, but ttie gait
soon distanced his pursuers, and they
were thus robbed of the pleasure of
"jibbing" him fnll of holes. Florida
