A TKIUtlilLE 1'ATE.
CHICAGO , February 18. The Daily
News' Louisville , Ky. , special says : The
worst gale over known is sweeping this
part of thn Ohio valley from end to end ,
carrying destruction nnd death with every
blast. About 0 o'clock the pouring rain
changed to a drizzling sleet. The wind
is now blowing with a velocity of forty
miles an hour. A party , just returned
from a visit to the Hfo saving boat , in
. company with a Courier- Journal reporter ,
saya the waves were surging and swelling
to such an extent as to inako our transit
in the yawl from the shore to the boat
almost nn impossibility. Captain Dovan ,
ono of the most fearless , bravest , reliable
officers in the aorvico is in charge of
the life saving station. From him it was
learned that the houses on the submerged
portion of Louisville known as "The
Point" nro falling by the scoro. The
upper storjos of many of those houses ,
occupied nt least by two hundred und
fifty people , nro in this Hooded portion.
Captain Devan says : "It is impossible to
roach any more of those people with the
boats. Wo have already removed some
but can taV o away no more. No boa !
can roach them. No boat could live tc
roach thorn. They are surely doomed. I
wouldn't venture ten cents on their os
cape. Every packet on the Ohio rivei
that cannot putin shore to-night is bound
to die. Below Evansville there are miloi
and miles of Hooded country when
no steamar could possibly make the
shoro. The timber skirting the bank :
of the river is under wai or. To strike
upon it in a calm moans death in this
atage of water. There ia but ono fate foi
any vessel loose upon the watorn of the
Ohio to-night. ' 'A Hat boat which ven
turcd out to take off some people on
"Tho Point , " waa overturned by thi
gale and part , if not all , of the occupant
drowned. It ia impossible to learn any
thing definite of the condition there to
night. All submerged places mus
bp inevitably swept from existence to
night The loss of life is apprehended ti
bo positively incalculable.
