GREAT ICE GORGE Two Huge Glaciers Collile Be- low Cincinnati. Many Tugs and Coal Barges Crushed and Destroyed. ——— — A dispatch from Cincinnati, Ohio, says: It requires a stretoh of the imagination to picture 8,000,000 tons of ice moving at five miles an hour down the Ohio River—the condition that became a reality a few days ago. All steamers on the river at the Port of Cincinnati had been keeping steam up al the while waiting for the worst, All the coal flaots ware covered with men night and day. The steamers in port and exposed wera: Tacom, Bostonia St. Lawrence, Iron Queen, John K. Speed. New, Mary Houston, Fleetwood, City ot Madison, Carrollton, Bonanza, Shirley and City of Vevay, All these are riv:r packets There were also several tow-boats, Besides these were three huge wharf boats for the Big Sandy, the Memphis and New Orleans, and the Louisville mail lines, re spectively, In the ice gorge, within a mile of its lower extremity, was all that was left of the $70,000 worth of coal in barges that were destroyed a few days ago in a like manner. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon this mighty glacier of 8,001,000 tons began to move with a horrible groan, and the hills echosd with the screaming of a scors of steam whistles, Grinding the shores, crashsng against the great stone plers of the five monster bridges, on it went, its speed increasing every min- ate. Nineteen steamers and a& bundrad coal barges, empty or loaded, had only two or three inches of oak plank to present re- sistance to this ponderous aggregation of power, Every man was at his post on ths steamers, and every man was a herq, Again and again the ponderous chains that held the steamers and the wharf boats to their moorings were parted, and as often skillful hands repaired them, I'he two bridges above the publ broke the ice somewhat and pr stherwise inevitable destruction o packet.

It is worn low, though not #0 low as the Langtry keot, and de mands a larger amount of balr than the majority of women possess, There tins been a decided stand against wearing crape for some years past, but the Princess of Wales gave it the coup de grace by dispensing with it during her mourning for the late Duke of Olar- ence, Now there is a further protest, inst the heavy crape worn by widows, and doubtless before another year has come and gone the modification in this direction will be very percejtible. i and 11a et
